mm/vma: define a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS

2020-04-10T22:36:21+00:00

There are many platforms with exact same value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS This creates a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS in line with the existing VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS. While here, also define some more macros with standard VMA access flag combinations that are used frequently across many platforms. Apart from simplification, this reduces code duplication as well.

ARC: mm: allow mprotect to make stack mappings executable

2018-07-11T18:03:06+00:00

mprotect(EXEC) was failing for stack mappings as default vm flags was missing MAYEXEC. This was triggered by glibc test suite nptl/tst-execstack testcase What is surprising is that despite running LTP for years on, we didn't catch this issue as it lacks a directed test case. gcc dejagnu tests with nested functions also requiring exec stack work fine though because they rely on the GNU_STACK segment spit out by compiler and handled in kernel elf loader. This glibc case is different as the stack is non exec to begin with and a dlopen of shared lib with GNU_STACK segment triggers the exec stack proceedings using a mprotect(PROT_EXEC) which was broken.

ARC: mm: Decouple RAM base address from kernel link address

2017-09-01T18:26:27+00:00

[Needed for HSDK] Currently the first page of system (hence RAM base) is assumed to be @ CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE, where kernel itself is linked. However is case of HSDK platform, for reasons explained in that patch, this is not true. kernel needs to be linked @ 0x9000_0000 while DDR is still wired at 0x8000_0000. To properly account for this 256M of RAM, we need to introduce a new option and base page frame accountiing off of it.

ARC: support HIGHMEM even without PAE40

2016-05-05T11:05:46+00:00

Initial HIGHMEM support on ARC was introduced for PAE40 where the low memory (0x8000_0000 based) and high memory (0x1_0000_0000) were physically contiguous. So CONFIG_FLATMEM sufficed (despite a peipheral hole in the middle, which wasted a bit of struct page memory, but things worked). However w/o PAE, highmem was not possible and we could only reach ~1.75GB of DDR. Now there is a use case to access ~4GB of DDR w/o PAE40 The idea is to have low memory at canonical 0x8000_0000 and highmem at 0 so enire 4GB address space is available for physical addressing This needs additional platform/interconnect mapping to convert the non contiguous physical addresses into linear bus adresses. From Linux point of view, non contiguous divide means FLATMEM no longer works and DISCONTIGMEM is needed to track the pfns in the 2 regions. This scheme would also work for PAE40, only better in that we don't waste struct page memory for the peripheral hole. The DT description will be something like memory { ... reg = <0x80000000 0x200000000 /* 512MB: lowmem */ 0x00000000 0x10000000>; /* 256MB: highmem */ } Signed-off-by: Noam Camus Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: Fix PAE40 boot failures due to PTE truncation

2016-05-05T11:05:45+00:00

So a benign looking cleanup which macro'ized PAGE_SHIFT shifts turned out to be bad (since it was done non-sensically across the board). It caused boot failures with PAE40 as forced cast to (unsigned long) from newly introduced virt_to_pfn() was causing truncatiion of the (long long) pte/paddr values. It is OK to use this in accessors dealing with kernel virtual address, pointers etc, but not for PTE values themelves.

Two patches are cleanups for stuff that is no longer needed, the main change is to adapt the generic version of BUG_ON() for CONFIG_BUG=n to make it behave consistently with BUG().
