* ARM: convert printk(KERN_* to pr_*Russell King2014-11-211-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Convert many (but not all) printk(KERN_* to pr_* to simplify the code. We take the opportunity to join some printk lines together so we don't split the message across several lines, and we also add a few levels to some messages which were previously missing them.

* mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval treeMichel Lespinasse2012-10-091-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are filled in using the C preprocessor. Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Building these files does not reveal a hidden need for any of these. Since module.h brings in the whole kitchen sink, it just needlessly adds 30k+ lines to the cpp burden.

* ARM: 6380/1: Introduce __sync_icache_dcache() for VIPT cachesCatalin Marinas2010-09-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On SMP systems, there is a small chance of a PTE becoming visible to a different CPU before the current cache maintenance operations in update_mmu_cache(). To avoid this, cache maintenance must be handled in set_pte_at() (similar to IA-64 and PowerPC). This patch provides a unified VIPT cache handling mechanism and implements the __sync_icache_dcache() function for ARMv6 onwards architectures. It is called from set_pte_at() and replaces the update_mmu_cache(). The latter is still used on VIVT hardware where a vm_area_struct is required.

* ARM: 6379/1: Assume new page cache pages have dirty D-cacheCatalin Marinas2010-09-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are places in Linux where writes to newly allocated page cache pages happen without a subsequent call to flush_dcache_page() (several PIO drivers including USB HCD). This patch changes the meaning of PG_arch_1 to be PG_dcache_clean and always flush the D-cache for a newly mapped page in update_mmu_cache(). The patch also sets the PG_arch_1 bit in the DMA cache maintenance function to avoid additional cache flushing in update_mmu_cache().

| * include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itselfRussell King2010-02-201-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all copies. We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages uncacheable. This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available for modification via update_mmu_cache(). Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to update_mmu_cache(): On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the pte_t? Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC: Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases, for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the _PAGE_EXEC. So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to suit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | update_mmu_cache() is called with a page table already mapped. We call make_coherent(), which then calls adjust_pte() which wants to map other page tables. This causes kmap_atomic() to BUG() because the slot its trying to use is already taken. Since do_adjust_pte() modifies the page tables, we are also missing any form of locking, so we're risking corrupting the page tables.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On ARM, update_mmu_cache() does dcache flush for a page only if it has a kernel mapping (page_mapping(page) != NULL). The correct behavior would be to force the flush based on dcache_dirty bit only. One of the cases where present logic would be a problem is when a RAM based block device[1] is used as a swap disk. In this case, we would have in-memory data corruption as shown in steps below: do_swap_page() { - Allocate a new page (if not already in swap cache) - Issue read from swap disk - Block driver issues flush_dcache_page() - flush_dcache_page() simply sets PG_dcache_dirty bit and does not actually issue a flush since this page has no user space mapping yet. - Now, if swap disk is almost full, this newly read page is removed from swap cache and corrsponding swap slot is freed. - Map this page anonymously in user space. - update_mmu_cache() - Since this page does not have kernel mapping (its not in page/swap cache and is mapped anonymously), it does not issue dcache flush even if dcache_dirty bit is set by flush_dcache_page() above. <user now gets stale data since dcache was never flushed> } Same problem exists on mips too.

* [ARM] 5366/1: fix shared memory coherency with VIVT L1 + L2 cachesNicolas Pitre2009-01-281-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When there are multiple L1-aliasing userland mappings of the same physical page, we currently remap each of them uncached, to prevent VIVT cache aliasing issues. (E.g. writes to one of the mappings not being immediately visible via another mapping.) However, when we do this remapping, there could still be stale data in the L2 cache, and an uncached mapping might bypass L2 and go straight to RAM. This would cause reads from such mappings to see old data (until the dirty L2 line is eventually evicted.) This issue is solved by forcing a L2 cache flush whenever the shared page is made L1 uncacheable. Ideally, we would make L1 uncacheable and L2 cacheable as L2 is PIPT. But Feroceon does not support that combination, and the TEX=5 C=0 B=0 encoding for XSc3 doesn't appear to work in practice.

* [PATCH] mm: arm ready for split ptlockHugh Dickins2005-10-291-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prepare arm for the split page_table_lock: three issues. Signal handling's preserve and restore of iwmmxt context currently involves reading and writing that context to and from user space, while holding page_table_lock to secure the user page(s) against kswapd. If we split the lock, then the structure might span two pages, secured by to read into and write from a kernel stack buffer, copying that out and in without locking (the structure is 160 bytes in size, and here we're near the top of the kernel stack). Or would the overhead be noticeable? arm_syscall's cmpxchg emulation use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of pte_offset_map and mm-wide page_table_lock; and strictly, it should now also take mmap_sem before descending to pmd, to guard against another thread munmapping, and the page table pulled out beneath this thread. Updated two comments in fault-armv.c. adjust_pte is interesting, since its modification of a pte in one part of the mm depends on the lock held when calling update_mmu_cache for a pte in some other part of that mm. This can't be done with a split page_table_lock (and we've already taken the lowest lock in the hierarchy here): so we'll have to disable split on arm, unless CONFIG_CPU_CACHE_VIPT to ensures adjust_pte never used.

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
