alpha/elf: Fix misc/setarch test of util-linux by removing 32bit support

2025-03-28T20:58:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit b029628be267cba3c7684ec684749fe3e4372398 ] Richard Henderson writes[1]: > There was a Spec benchmark (I forget which) which was memory bound and ran > twice as fast with 32-bit pointers. > > I copied the idea from DEC to the ELF abi, but never did all the other work > to allow the toolchain to take advantage. > > Amusingly, a later Spec changed the benchmark data sets to not fit into a > 32-bit address space, specifically because of this. > > I expect one could delete the ELF bit and personality and no one would > notice. Not even the 10 remaining Alpha users. In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY implementation. In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never completed. Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support. As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set. Just in case someone somewhere has binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.

mm: remove kern_addr_valid() completely

2024-11-08T15:26:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit e025ab842ec35225b1a8e163d1f311beb9e38ce9 ] Most architectures (except arm64/x86/sparc) simply return 1 for kern_addr_valid(), which is only used in read_kcore(), and it calls copy_from_kernel_nofault() which could check whether the address is a valid kernel address. So as there is no need for kern_addr_valid(), let's remove it.

alpha/mm: enable ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT

2022-07-18T00:14:39+00:00

This enables ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT on the platform and exports standard vm_get_page_prot() implementation via DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT, which looks up a private and static protection_map[] array. Subsequently all __SXXX and __PXXX macros can be dropped which are no longer needed.

arch: Add pmd_pfn() where it is missing

2022-03-21T16:59:02+00:00

We need to use this function in common code, so define it for architectures and/or configrations that miss it. The result of pmd_pfn() will only be used if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled, but a function or macro called pmd_pfn() must be defined, even on machines with two level page tables.

mm: define default value for FIRST_USER_ADDRESS

2021-07-01T18:06:02+00:00

Currently most platforms define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as 0UL duplication the same code all over. Instead just define a generic default value (i.e 0UL) for FIRST_USER_ADDRESS and let the platforms override when required. This makes it much cleaner with reduced code. The default FIRST_USER_ADDRESS here would be skipped in when the given platform overrides its value via .

alpha: remove DISCONTIGMEM and NUMA

2021-06-29T17:53:55+00:00

Patch series "Remove DISCONTIGMEM memory model", v3. SPARSEMEM memory model was supposed to entirely replace DISCONTIGMEM a (long) while ago. The last architectures that used DISCONTIGMEM were updated to use other memory models in v5.11 and it is about the time to entirely remove DISCONTIGMEM from the kernel. This set removes DISCONTIGMEM from alpha, arc and m68k, simplifies memory model selection in mm/Kconfig and replaces usage of redundant CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP with CONFIG_NUMA and CONFIG_FLATMEM respectively. I've also removed NUMA support on alpha that was BROKEN for more than 15 years. There were also minor updates all over arch/ to remove mentions of DISCONTIGMEM in comments and #ifdefs. This patch (of 9): NUMA is marked broken on alpha for more than 15 years and DISCONTIGMEM was replaced with SPARSEMEM in v5.11. Remove both NUMA and DISCONTIGMEM support from alpha.

alpha: switch from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM

2020-12-15T20:13:42+00:00

Patch series "arch, mm: deprecate DISCONTIGMEM", v2. It's been a while since DISCONTIGMEM is generally considered deprecated, but it is still used by four architectures. This set replaces DISCONTIGMEM with a different way to handle holes in the memory map and marks DISCONTIGMEM configuration as BROKEN in Kconfigs of these architectures with the intention to completely remove it in several releases. While for 64-bit alpha and ia64 the switch to SPARSEMEM is quite obvious and was a matter of moving some bits around, for smaller 32-bit arc and m68k SPARSEMEM is not necessarily the best thing to do. On 32-bit machines SPARSEMEM would require large sections to make section index fit in the page flags, but larger sections mean that more memory is wasted for unused memory map. Besides, pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn() become less efficient, at least on arc. So I've decided to generalize arm's approach for freeing of unused parts of the memory map with FLATMEM and enable it for both arc and m68k. The details are in the description of patches 10 (arc) and 13 (m68k). This patch (of 13): Enable SPARSEMEM support on alpha and deprecate DISCONTIGMEM. The required changes are mostly around moving duplicated definitions of page access and address conversion macros to a common place and making sure they are available for all memory models. The DISCONTINGMEM support is marked as BROKEN an will be removed in a couple of releases.

mm: consolidate pte_index() and pte_offset_*() definitions

2020-06-09T16:39:14+00:00

All architectures define pte_index() as (address >> PAGE_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PTE - 1) and all architectures define pte_offset_kernel() as an entry in the array of PTEs indexed by the pte_index(). For the most architectures the pte_offset_kernel() implementation relies on the availability of pmd_page_vaddr() that converts a PMD entry value to the virtual address of the page containing PTEs array. Let's move x86 definitions of the PTE accessors to the generic place in and then simply drop the respective definitions from the other architectures. The architectures that didn't provide pmd_page_vaddr() are updated to have that defined. The generic implementation of pte_offset_kernel() can be overridden by an architecture and alpha makes use of this because it has special ordering requirements for its version of pte_offset_kernel().
