MIPS: Remove confusing else statement in __do_page_fault()

2017-04-12T22:47:04+00:00

Commit 41c594ab65fc ("[MIPS] MT: Improved multithreading support.") added an else case to an if statement in do_page_fault() (which has since gained 2 leading underscores) for some unclear reason. If the condition in the if statement evaluates true then we execute a goto & branch elsewhere anyway, so the else has no effect. Combined with an #if 0 block with misleading indentation introduced in the same commit it makes the code less clear than it could be. Remove the unnecessary else statement & de-indent the printk within the #if 0 block in order to make the code easier for humans to parse.

MIPS: mm: Fix output of __do_page_fault

2016-11-25T11:08:10+00:00

Since commit 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") the output from __do_page_fault on MIPS has been pretty unreadable due to the lack of KERN_CONT markers. Use pr_cont to provide the appropriate markers & restore the expected output. Signed-off-by: Matt Redfearn Cc: Paul Gortmaker Cc: Kirill A.

MIPS: mm: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

2016-10-04T23:31:20+00:00

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file. This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using. Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance for the presence of either and replace as needed.

mm/fault, arch: Use pagefault_disable() to check for disabled pagefaults in the handler

2015-05-19T06:39:15+00:00

Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers. Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly disabled). In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults. With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs. We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling might_sleep(). Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this is needed. faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files. This patch is based on a patch from Thomas Gleixner.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle: "This is the main pull request for MIPS: - a number of fixes that didn't make the 3.19 release. - a number of cleanups. - preliminary support for Cavium's Octeon 3 SOCs which feature up to 48 MIPS64 R3 cores with FPU and hardware virtualization. - support for MIPS R6 processors. Revision 6 of the MIPS architecture is a major revision of the MIPS architecture which does away with many of original sins of the architecture such as branch delay slots. This and other changes in R6 require major changes throughout the entire MIPS core architecture code and make up for the lion share of this pull request. - finally some preparatory work for eXtendend Physical Address support, which allows support of up to 40 bit of physical address space on 32 bit processors" [ Ahh, MIPS can't leave the PAE brain damage alone.

MIPS: mm: Add debug information for userland SIGSEGV signals.

2015-02-16T09:55:26+00:00

Commit 41c594ab65fc ("[MIPS] MT: Improved multithreading support.") removed useful debug information for userland segmentation faults. This patch bring this back along with the ability to determine the name of the object file where the EPC and RA registers point at. Furthermore, we select the SYSCTL_EXCEPTION_TRACE symbol for MIPS which is the de facto solution to turn userland exception logging on and off via the /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace file.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-01-29T18:51:32+00:00

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.
