Newer versions of binutils mark '_end' as 'B' instead of 'A' for
whatever reason.
To be honest, the piggyback code doesn't actually care what kind
of symbol _start and _end are, it just wants to find them and
record the address.
So remove the type from the match strings.

Pull device tree regression fix from Grant Likely:
"Simple build regression fix for DT device drivers on Sparc. An
earlier change had masked out the of_iomap() helper on SPARC."
* tag 'devicetree-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6:
of/address: sparc: Declare of_iomap as an extern function for sparc again
|
|
This bug-fix makes sure that of_iomap is defined extern for sparc so that the
sparc-specific implementation of_iomap is once again used when including
include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. OF_GPIO that is now available for
sparc relies on this.
The bug was inadvertently introduced in a850a75, "of/address: add empty static
inlines for !CONFIG_OF", that added a static dummy inline for of_iomap when
!CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS. However, CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc, but
there is a sparc-specific implementation /arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c.
This fix takes the same approach as 0bce04b that solved the equivalent problem
for of_address_to_resource.

If a signal handler is executed on altstack and another signal comes,
we will end up with rt_sigreturn() on return from the second handler
getting -EPERM from do_sigaltstack(). It's perfectly OK, since we
are not asking to change the settings; in fact, they couldn't have been
changed during the second handler execution exactly because we'd been
on altstack all along. 64bit sigreturn on sparc treats any error from
do_sigaltstack() as "SIGSEGV now"; we need to switch to the same semantics
we are using on other architectures.

We tried linking in a single built object to hold the device table,
but only works if all of the sparc64 crypto modules get built the same
way (modular vs. non-modular).
Just include the device ID stub into each driver source file so that
the table gets compiled into the correct result in all cases.

Sparc32 already supported it, as a consequence of using the
generic atomic64 implementation. And the sparc64 implementation
is rather trivial.
This allows us to set ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE for all
of sparc, and avoid the annoying warning from lib/atomic64_test.c

for sparc again
This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc
so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once
again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A
number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc.
The bug was introduced in a850a7554442f08d3e910c6eeb4ee216868dda1e, "of/address:
add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the
static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never
defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in
include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in
drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However,
for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in
arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c

For atomic backoff, we just loop over an exponentially backed off
counter. This is extremely ineffective as it doesn't actually yield
the cpu strand so that other competing strands can use the cpu core.
In cpus previous to SPARC-T4 we have to do this in a slightly hackish
way, by doing an operation with no side effects that also happens to
mark the strand as unavailable.
The mechanism we choose for this is three reads of the %ccr
(condition-code) register into %g0 (the zero register).
SPARC-T4 has an explicit "pause" instruction, and we'll make use of
that in a subsequent commit.
Yield strands also in cpu_relax(). We really should have done this a
very long time ago.

The Montgomery Multiply, Montgomery Square, and Multiple-Precision
Multiply instructions work by loading a combination of the floating
point and multiple register windows worth of integer registers
with the inputs.
These values are 64-bit. But for 32-bit userland processes we only
save the low 32-bits of each integer register during a register spill.
This is because the register window save area is in the user stack and
has a fixed layout.
Therefore, the only way to use these instruction in 32-bit mode is to
perform the following sequence:
1) Load the top-32bits of a choosen integer register with a sentinel,
say "-1". This will be in the outer-most register window.
The idea is that we're trying to see if the outer-most register
window gets spilled, and thus the 64-bit values were truncated.
2) Load all the inputs for the montmul/montsqr/mpmul instruction,
down to the inner-most register window.
3) Execute the opcode.
4) Traverse back up to the outer-most register window.
5) Check the sentinel, if it's still "-1" store the results.
Otherwise retry the entire sequence.
This retry is extremely troublesome. If you're just unlucky and an
interrupt or other trap happens, it'll push that outer-most window to
the stack and clear the sentinel when we restore it.
We could retry forever and never make forward progress if interrupts
arrive at a fast enough rate (consider perf events as one example).
So we have do limited retries and fallback to software which is
extremely non-deterministic.
Luckily it's very straightforward to provide a mechanism to let
32-bit applications use a 64-bit stack. Stacks in 64-bit mode are
biased by 2047 bytes, which means that the lowest bit is set in the
actual %sp register value.
So if we see bit zero set in a 32-bit application's stack we treat
it like a 64-bit stack.
Runtime detection of such a facility is tricky, and cumbersome at
best. For example, just trying to use a biased stack and seeing if it
works is hard to recover from (the signal handler will need to use an
alt stack, plus something along the lines of longjmp). Therefore, we
add a system call to report a bitmask of arch specific features like
this in a cheap and less hairy way.

Pull misc UAPI fixes from David Howells:
"They do a number of things:
(1) Import a patch from Catalin Marinas to extend the generic-y in
Kbuild facility to uapi directories.
(2) Make arch/tile's ucontext.h file use (1) and remove the header-y
line from the kernel internal side of things.
(3) Remove some now-empty conditional bits from include/linux/Kbuild.
The contents got moved to the UAPI side of things along with new
conditionals.
(4) Deal with now-empty files:
(a) Empty Kbuild files under include/ get removed.
(b) Empty Kbuild files under arch/ get comments to hold them as
they are likely to end up with generic-y or genhdr-y lines.
Deleting them appears to work if we want to go that route.
(c) Put a comment into uapi/asm-generic/kvm_para.h to prevent the
patch program from deleting that, and made the arches with
empty kvm_para.h uapi files use that instead of having their
own files.
(d) Put comments into four other empty uapi/ headers to prevent the
patch program from deleting them.
A question: Is this the right way to deal with the now-empty Kbuild
files?
The ones under include/ are unlikely to be used - even for generated
files, I think - so getting rid of them is probably okay. Once all
the bits are in, we can probably remove all the Kbuild files under
include/ that aren't also under include/uapi/.
The ones under arch/ are more of an issue because of the potential for
generic-y and genhdr-y."

There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in
sparc_pmu_disable_event() vs. sparc_pmu_enable_event().
Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR.
However, event enable was not reversing this operation. Instead, it
was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits.
That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what
sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do .
The intent of sparc_pmu_enable_event() is clear, since it first clear
out the event type encoding field. So fix this by OR'ing in the event
encoding rather than the trace enable bits.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.
Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The
lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible
because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss
assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.
set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime
we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.
We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
in the future.
With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

We've split up the PTE tables so that they take up half a page instead of
a full page. This is in order to facilitate transparent huge page
support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB.
What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the
mm struct.
This logic triggers only on allocations. For example, we don't try to
keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390 port
does.
There were only two slightly annoying aspects to this change:
1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *". There's all of this special
logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the
PMD populate interfaces.
2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct
just gets copied from the parent on fork.

The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page
support.
Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB.
The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE
!= PMD_SIZE.
So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page.
We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which
on sparc64 requires 44 bits. Add a compile time CPP test which ensures
that this requirement is always met.
There is a minor inefficiency added by this change. We only use half of
the page for PTE tables. It's not trivial to use only half of the page
yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working
properly. It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change.

.fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.

The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
pages via free_pages_check. A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
userspace.
This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
pool.
This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
is freed into the pool.

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"This has three changes for asm-generic that did not really fit into
any other branch as normal asm-generic changes do. One is a fix for a
build warning, the other two are more interesting:
* A patch from Mark Brown to allow using the common clock
infrastructure on all architectures, so we can use the clock API in
architecture independent device drivers.
* The UAPI split patches from David Howells for the asm-generic
files. There are other architecture specific series that are going
through the arch maintainer tree and that depend on this one.
There may be a few small merge conflicts between Mark's patch and the
following arch header file split patches. In each case the solution
will be to keep the new "generic-y += clkdev.h" line, even if it ends
up being the only line in the Kbuild file."

Pull sparc changes from David S Miller:
"There is an attempt to fix a bad interaction between syscall tracing
and force_successful_syscall() from Al Viro, but it needs to be redone
as it introduced regressions and thus had to be reverted for now.
Al is working on an updated version.
But what we do have here are some significant bzero/memset
improvements for Niagara-4. An 8K page can be cleared in around 600
cycles, because we essentially have a store that behaves like
powerpc's dcbz that we can actually make real use of."
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc:
Revert strace hiccups fix.

ffa9009c9828db3f74178e459cfbca6e77ff5dd9.
There are problems with how the flag bytes were rearranged, in
particular we really can't move values down into the lowest
16 bits since those are used for individual state bits.

This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4.
We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via
the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for
bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero.
As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte
subblock of the L2 cache line, it works.
As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to
avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost
at least 50 cycles.
For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the
Niagara-1 variants instead. Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable
way.
A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles.
Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store
ASIs. By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least
Recently Used. If we know we're going to use the data immediately
(which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most
Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being
evicted before they get used.

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.
Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
which have it. Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
linux/compat.h.
Most of the copies are verbatim. compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
__compat_uid[32]_t. compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
had it moved up). compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
to asm/compat.h.

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for
things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.
We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().
This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently
by commits f9783ec862ea ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on
exec") and 59e4c3a2fe9c ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on
exec") in a similar way already).

When force_successful_syscall() triggers, the syscall return status

After fixing a couple of brainos, it even seems to work. What's done here
is move of ->syscall_noerror right before FPDEPTH byte in ->flags and
using sth to [%g6 + TI_SYS_NOERROR] instead of stb to [%g6 + TI_FPDEPTH] in
both branches of etrap_save. AFAICS, that ought to be solid. Again,
deciding what to do with now unused delay slot of branch on ->syscall_noerror
and dealing with the order of tests in ret_from_sys is a separate question,
but at least that way we don't have to clean ->syscall_noerror in there at
all. AFAICS, it ought to be a clear win - sth is not going to cost more than
stb on etrap_64.S side of things, and we are losing write on syscalls.S one.

Pull preparatory patches for user API disintegration from David Howells:
"The patches herein prepare for the extraction of the Userspace API
bits from the various header files named in the Kbuild files.
New subdirectories are created under either include/uapi/ or
arch/x/include/uapi/ that correspond to the subdirectory containing
that file under include/ or arch/x/include/.
The new subdirs under the uapi/ directory are populated with Kbuild
files that mostly do nothing at this time. Further patches will
disintegrate the headers in each original directory and fill in the
Kbuild files as they do it.
These patches also:
(1) fix up #inclusions of "foo.h" rather than <foo.h>.
(2) Remove some redundant #includes from the DRM code.
(3) Make the kernel build infrastructure handle Kbuild files both in
the old places and the new UAPI place that both specify headers
to be exported.
(4) Fix some kernel tools that #include kernel headers during their
build.
I have compile tested this with allyesconfig against x86_64,
allmodconfig against i386 and a scattering of additional defconfigs of
other arches. Prepared for main script
