uaccess: remove segment_eq

2020-08-12T17:57:58+00:00

segment_eq is only used to implement uaccess_kernel. Just open code uaccess_kernel in the arch uaccess headers and remove one layer of indirection.

get rid of legacy 'get_ds()' function

2019-03-04T18:50:14+00:00

Every in-kernel use of this function defined it to KERNEL_DS (either as an actual define, or as an inline function). It's an entirely historical artifact, and long long long ago used to actually read the segment selector valueof '%ds' on x86. Which in the kernel is always KERNEL_DS. Inspired by a patch from Jann Horn that just did this for a very small subset of users (the ones in fs/), along with Al who suggested a script. I then just took it to the logical extreme and removed all the remaining gunk. Roughly scripted with git grep -l '(get_ds())' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i 's/(get_ds())/(KERNEL_DS)/' git grep -lw 'get_ds' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i '/^#define get_ds()/d' plus manual fixups to remove a few unusual usage patterns, the couple of inline function cases and to fix up a comment that had become stale. The 'get_ds()' function remains in an x86 kvm selftest, since in user space it actually does something relevant. Inspired-by: Jann Horn Inspired-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

csky: MMU and page table management

2018-10-25T15:36:19+00:00

This patch adds files related to memory management and here is our memory-layout: Fixmap : 0xffc02000 – 0xfffff000 (4 MB - 12KB) Pkmap : 0xff800000 – 0xffc00000 (4 MB) Vmalloc : 0xf0200000 – 0xff000000 (238 MB) Lowmem : 0x80000000 – 0xc0000000 (1GB) abiv1 CPU (CK610) is VIPT cache and it doesn't support highmem. abiv2 CPUs are all PIPT cache and they could support highmem. Lowmem is directly mapped by msa0 & msa1 reg, and we needn't setup memory page table for it.
