alpha: don't reference obsolete termio struct for TC* constants

2026-01-17T15:31:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9aeed9041929812a10a6d693af050846942a1d16 ] Similar in nature to ab107276607af90b13a5994997e19b7b9731e251. glibc-2.42 drops the legacy termio struct, but the ioctls.h header still defines some TC* constants in terms of termio (via sizeof). Hardcode the values instead. This fixes building Python for example, which falls over like: ./Modules/termios.c:1119:16: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct termio' Link: https://bugs.gentoo.org/961769 Link: https://bugs.gentoo.org/962600 Signed-off-by: Sam James Reviewed-by: Magnus Lindholm Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/6ebd3451908785cad53b50ca6bc46cfe9d6bc03c.1764922497.git.sam@gentoo.org Signed-off-by: Magnus Lindholm Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

alpha: make stack 16-byte aligned (most cases)

2025-02-21T13:01:33+00:00

commit 0a0f7362b0367634a2d5cb7c96226afc116f19c9 upstream. The problem is that GCC expects 16-byte alignment of the incoming stack since early 2004, as Maciej found out [1]: Having actually dug speculatively I can see that the psABI was changed in GCC 3.5 with commit e5e10fb4a350 ("re PR target/14539 (128-bit long double improperly aligned)") back in Mar 2004, when the stack pointer alignment was increased from 8 bytes to 16 bytes, and arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S has various suspicious stack pointer adjustments, starting with SP_OFF which is not a whole multiple of 16. Also, as Magnus noted, "ALPHA Calling Standard" [2] required the same: D.3.1 Stack Alignment This standard requires that stacks be octaword aligned at the time a new procedure is invoked. However: - the "normal" kernel stack is always misaligned by 8 bytes, thanks to the odd number of 64-bit words in 'struct pt_regs', which is the very first thing pushed onto the kernel thread stack; - syscall, fault, interrupt etc. handlers may, or may not, receive aligned stack depending on numerous factors. Somehow we got away with it until recently, when we ended up with a stack corruption in kernel/smp.c:smp_call_function_single() due to its use of 32-byte aligned local data and the compiler doing clever things allocating it on the stack. This adds padding between the PAL-saved and kernel-saved registers so that 'struct pt_regs' have an even number of 64-bit words. This makes the stack properly aligned for most of the kernel code, except two handlers which need special threatment. Note: struct pt_regs doesn't belong in uapi/asm; this should be fixed, but let's put this off until later.

tcp: RX path for devmem TCP

2024-09-12T03:44:32+00:00

In tcp_recvmsg_locked(), detect if the skb being received by the user is a devmem skb. In this case - if the user provided the MSG_SOCK_DEVMEM flag - pass it to tcp_recvmsg_devmem() for custom handling. tcp_recvmsg_devmem() copies any data in the skb header to the linear buffer, and returns a cmsg to the user indicating the number of bytes returned in the linear buffer. tcp_recvmsg_devmem() then loops over the unaccessible devmem skb frags, and returns to the user a cmsg_devmem indicating the location of the data in the dmabuf device memory. cmsg_devmem contains this information: 1. the offset into the dmabuf where the payload starts. 'frag_offset'. 2. the size of the frag. 'frag_size'. 3. an opaque token 'frag_token' to return to the kernel when the buffer is to be released. The pages awaiting freeing are stored in the newly added sk->sk_user_frags, and each page passed to userspace is get_page()'d. This reference is dropped once the userspace indicates that it is done reading this page. All pages are released when the socket is destroyed.

alpha: drop pre-EV56 support

2024-05-06T10:05:00+00:00

All EV4 machines are already gone, and the remaining EV5 based machines all support the slightly more modern EV56 generation as well. Debian only supports EV56 and later. Drop both of these and build kernels optimized for EV56 and higher when the "generic" options is selected, tuning for an out-of-order EV6 pipeline, same as Debian userspace. Since this was the only supported architecture without 8-bit and 16-bit stores, common kernel code no longer has to worry about aligning struct members, and existing workarounds from the block and tty layers can be removed. The alpha memory management code no longer needs an abstraction for the differences between EV4 and EV5+. Link: https://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2023/05/msg00009.html Acked-by: Paul E.

Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogical to SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid, which allows programmers not to care about PID reuse problem. We mask SO_PASSPIDFD feature if CONFIG_UNIX is not builtin because it depends on a pidfd_prepare() API which is not exported to the kernel modules.

alpha: lazy FPU switching

2023-02-25T04:14:22+00:00

On each context switch we save the FPU registers on stack of old process and restore FPU registers from the stack of new one. That allows us to avoid doing that each time we enter/leave the kernel mode; however, that can get suboptimal in some cases. For one thing, we don't need to bother saving anything for kernel threads. For another, if between entering and leaving the kernel a thread gives CPU up more than once, it will do useless work, saving the same values every time, only to discard the saved copy as soon as it returns from switch_to(). Alternative solution: * move the array we save into from switch_stack to thread_info * have a (thread-synchronous) flag set when we save them * have another flag set when they should be restored on return to userland. * do *NOT* save/restore them in do_switch_stack()/undo_switch_stack(). * restore on the exit to user mode if the restore flag had been set. Clear both flags. * on context switch, entry to fork/clone/vfork, before entry into do_signal() and on entry into straced syscall save the registers and set the 'saved' flag unless it had been already set. * on context switch set the 'restore' flag as well. * have copy_thread() set both flags for child, so the registers would be restored once the child returns to userland. * use the saved data in setup_sigcontext(); have restore_sigcontext() set both flags and copy from sigframe to save area. * teach ptrace to look for FPU registers in thread_info instead of switch_stack. * teach isolated accesses to FPU registers (rdfpcr, wrfpcr, etc.) to check the 'saved' flag (under preempt_disable()) and work with the save area if it's been set; if 'saved' flag is found upon write access, set 'restore' flag as well.

mm/madvise: introduce MADV_COLLAPSE sync hugepage collapse

2022-09-12T03:25:46+00:00

This idea was introduced by David Rientjes[1]. Introduce a new madvise mode, MADV_COLLAPSE, that allows users to request a synchronous collapse of memory at their own expense. The benefits of this approach are: * CPU is charged to the process that wants to spend the cycles for the THP * Avoid unpredictable timing of khugepaged collapse Semantics This call is independent of the system-wide THP sysfs settings, but will fail for memory marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE. If the ranges provided span multiple VMAs, the semantics of the collapse over each VMA is independent from the others. This implies a hugepage cannot cross a VMA boundary. If collapse of a given hugepage-aligned/sized region fails, the operation may continue to attempt collapsing the remainder of memory specified. The memory ranges provided must be page-aligned, but are not required to be hugepage-aligned. If the memory ranges are not hugepage-aligned, the start/end of the range will be clamped to the first/last hugepage-aligned address covered by said range. The memory ranges must span at least one hugepage-sized region. All non-resident pages covered by the range will first be swapped/faulted-in, before being internally copied onto a freshly allocated hugepage. Unmapped pages will have their data directly initialized to 0 in the new hugepage. However, for every eligible hugepage aligned/sized region to-be collapsed, at least one page must currently be backed by memory (a PMD covering the address range must already exist). Allocation for the new hugepage may enter direct reclaim and/or compaction, regardless of VMA flags. When the system has multiple NUMA nodes, the hugepage will be allocated from the node providing the most native pages. This operation operates on the current state of the specified process and makes no persistent changes or guarantees on how pages will be mapped, constructed, or faulted in the future Return Value If all hugepage-sized/aligned regions covered by the provided range were either successfully collapsed, or were already PMD-mapped THPs, this operation will be deemed successful. On success, process_madvise(2) returns the number of bytes advised, and madvise(2) returns 0. Else, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error for the most-recently attempted hugepage collapse. Note that many failures might have occurred, since the operation may continue to collapse in the event a single hugepage-sized/aligned region fails. ENOMEM Memory allocation failed or VMA not found EBUSY Memcg charging failed EAGAIN Required resource temporarily unavailable. Try again might succeed. EINVAL Other error: No PMD found, subpage doesn't have Present bit set, "Special" page no backed by struct page, VMA incorrectly sized, address not page-aligned, ... Most notable here is ENOMEM and EBUSY (new to madvise) which are intended to provide the caller with actionable feedback so they may take an appropriate fallback measure. Use Cases An immediate user of this new functionality are malloc() implementations that manage memory in hugepage-sized chunks, but sometimes subrelease memory back to the system in native-sized chunks via MADV_DONTNEED; zapping the pmd. Later, when the memory is hot, the implementation could madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to re-back the memory by THPs to regain hugepage coverage and dTLB performance. TCMalloc is such an implementation that could benefit from this[2]. Only privately-mapped anon memory is supported for now, but additional support for file, shmem, and HugeTLB high-granularity mappings[2] is expected. File and tmpfs/shmem support would permit: * Backing executable text by THPs. Current support provided by CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large system which might impair services from serving at their full rated load after (re)starting. Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto anonymous memory to immediately realize iTLB performance prevents page sharing and demand paging, both of which increase steady state memory footprint. With MADV_COLLAPSE, we get the best of both worlds: Peak upfront performance and lower RAM footprints. * Backing guest memory by hugapages after the memory contents have been migrated in native-page-sized chunks to a new host, in a userfaultfd-based live-migration stack.
