| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) PTRACE_SYSCALL doesn't work for 64bit process on parisc64. Compat syscall table is used instead of 64bit one. IMO we should either refuse to allow PTRACE_SYSCALL for 64bit processes or duplicate the logics choosing the right syscall table into .Ltracesys. 2) if you have let the tracee run with PTRACE_SYSCALL and it had stopped, you can use PTRACE_POKEUSR to modify syscall number (r20) and arguments 1--4 (r26--r23). Modifications will have effect. However, modifying arguments 5 and 6 (r22 and r21 resp.) works only when process (32bit one) runs on 64bit host - on 32bit one it has no effect. AFAICS, the diff below should fix that one. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Tested-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | People are playing odd games with IRQF_DISABLED, remove it. Its not reliable, since shared interrupt lines could disable it for you, and its possible and allowed for archs to disable IRQs to limit IRQ nesting. Therefore, simply mandate that _ALL_ IRQ handlers are run with IRQs disabled. [ This _should_ not break anything, since we've mandated that IRQ handlers _must_ be able to deal with this for a _long_ time ] IRQ handlers should be fast, no if buts and any other exceptions. We also have plenty instrumentation to find any offending IRQ latency sources.

| * parisc: fixes and cleanups in page cache flushing (4/4)John David Anglin2013-02-201-0/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_PARISC_TMPALIAS enables clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage. These are essentially alternative implementations of clear_user_page and copy_user_page. They don't have anything to do with x86 high pages, but they build on the infrastructure to save a few instructions. Read the comment in clear_user_highpage as it is very important to the implementation. For this reason, there isn't any gain in using the TMPALIAS/highpage approach.

| * parisc: fixes and cleanups in page cache flushing (3/4)John David Anglin2013-02-201-7/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_cache_mm, for the non current case also uses flush_dcache_page_asm and flush_icache_page_asm which are TMPALIAS flushes. For the non current case, the algorithm used by get_ptep is derived from the vmalloc_to_page implementation in vmalloc.c. It is essentially a generic page table lookup. The other alternative was to duplicate the lookup in entry.S. The break point for switching to a full cache flush is somewhat arbitrary. The same approach is used in flush_cache_range for non current case. In a GCC build and check, many small programs are executed and this change provided a significant performance enhancement, e.g. GCC build time was cut almost in half on a rp3440 at j4. Previously, we always flushed the entire cache. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
| * parisc: fixes and cleanups in page cache flushing (2/4)John David Anglin2013-02-201-45/+290
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm. These are optimized routines to clear and copy a page. I tested prefetch optimizations in clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm but didn't see any significant performance improvement on rp3440. I'm not sure if these are routines are significantly faster than memset and/or memcpy, but they are there for further performance evaluation. TLB purge operations on PA 1.X SMP machines are now serialized with the help of the new tlb_lock() and tlb_unlock() macros, since on some PA-RISC machines, TLB purges need to be serialized in software. Obviously, lock isn't needed in UP kernels. On PA 2.0 machines, there is a local TLB instruction which is much less disruptive to the memory subsystem. No lock is needed for local purge. Loops are also unrolled in flush_instruction_cache_local and flush_data_cache_local. The implementation of what used to be copy_user_page (now copy_user_page_asm) is now fixed. Additionally 64-bit support is now added. Read the preceding comment which I didn't change. I left the comment but it is now inaccurate.

| * parisc: fixes and cleanups in page cache flushing (1/4)John David Anglin2013-02-202-30/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the first patch in a series of 4, with which the page cache flushing of parisc will gets fixed and enhanced. This even fixes the nasty "minifail" bug (http://wiki.parisc-linux.org/TestCases?highlight=%28minifail%29) which prevented parisc to stay an official debian port. Basically the flush in copy_user_page together with the TLB patch from commit 7139bc1579901b53db7e898789e916ee2fb52d78 is what fixes the minifail bug. This patch still uses the TMPALIAS approach. The new copy_user_page implementation calls flush_dcache_page_asm to flush the user dcache page (crucial for minifail fix) via a kernel TMPALIAS mapping. After that, it just copies the page using the kernel mapping. It does a final flush if needed. Generally it is hard to avoid doing some cache flushes using the kernel mapping (e.g., copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page). This patch depends on a subsequent change to pacache.S implementing clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm. These are optimized routines to clear and copy a page. The calls in clear_user_page and copy_user_page could be replaced by calls to memset and memcpy, respectively. I tested prefetch optimizations in clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm but didn't see any significant performance improvement on rp3440. I'm not sure if these are routines are significantly faster than memset and/or memcpy, but they are there for further performance evaluation.

| * | parisc: improve ptrace support for gdb single-stepJohn David Anglin2013-01-072-6/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various GCC tests use gdb to simulate a multithreaded application. Many of these tests have been failing on parisc linux. GCC does this by using gdb to single-step the application, then gdb is used to call other test specific code. Where this fails is when the application is stepped into the delay slot of a taken branch. This sets the PSW B bit. When the test specific code is executed, this usually clears the PSW B bit. Currently, gdb is not allowed to set the B bit. So, the code falls through what should be a taken branch. The attached patch adds the PSW B bit to the set of bits that gdb is allowed to set. In order to set the B bit, the trace system call must return using an interrupt restore. The patch also modifies this code to use the saved IAOQ values when they are saved by a ptrace syscall or interruption.

Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.

| * | | TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of driversJiri Slaby2012-11-151-2/+3
| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this assumption. To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places. This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed. This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.

This turns out to be correct and we need to pay attention to the pgoff as well as the address when creating the virtual address for the area. Fortunately, the bug is rarely triggered as most applications which use pgoff tend to use large values (git being the primary one, and it uses pgoff in multiples of 16MB) which are larger than our cache coherency modulus, so the problem isn't often seen in practise.

* vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton2012-10-122-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
