2013-01-10arm64: vdso: remove broken, redundant sequence counting for timezonesWill Deacon
This patch is an arm64 version of ce73ec6db47a ("powerpc/vdso: Remove redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()"). Timezone data is not protected, so the sequence counter is not required to ensure consistency. Furthermore, having multiple paths updating the counter leads to a race between update_vsyscall and update_vsyscall_tz, so remove the timezone sequence counting from both the kernel and the vdso.

2013-01-03ARCH: drivers remove __dev* attributes.Greg Kroah-Hartman
This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for their platform-specific drivers. CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

2012-12-18compat: generic compat_sys_sched_rr_get_interval() implementationCatalin Marinas
This function is used by sparc, powerpc tile and arm64 for compat support. The patch adds a generic implementation with a wrapper for PowerPC to do the u32->int sign extension. The reason for a single patch covering powerpc, tile, sparc and arm64 is to keep it bisectable, otherwise kernel building may fail with mismatched function declarations.

2012-12-05arm64: vdso: check sequence counter even for coarse realtime operationsWill Deacon
When returning coarse realtime values from clock_gettime, we must still check the sequence counter to ensure that the kernel does not update the vdso datapage whilst we are loading the coarse timespec as this could potentially result in time appearing to go backwards. This patch delays the coarse realtime check until after we have loaded successfully from the vdso datapage. This does mean that we always load the wtm timespec, but conditionalising the load and adding an extra sequence test is unlikely to buy us anything other than messy code, particularly as the sequence test implies a read barrier.

2012-11-23arm64: signal: push the unwinding prologue on the signal stackWill Deacon
To allow debuggers to unwind through signal frames, we create a fake stack unwinding prologue containing the link register and frame pointer of the interrupted context. The signal frame is then offset by 16 bytes to make room for the two saved registers which are pushed onto the frame of the *interrupted* context, rather than placed directly above the signal stack. This doesn't work when an alternative signal stack is set up for a SEGV handler, which is raised in response to RLIMIT_STACK being reached. In this case, we try to push the unwinding prologue onto the full stack and subsequently take a fault which we fail to resolve, causing setup_return to return -EFAULT and handle_signal to force_sigsegv on the current task. This patch fixes the problem by including the unwinding prologue as part of the rt_sigframe definition, which is populated during setup_sigframe, ensuring that it always ends up on the signal stack.

We currently use a fake event encoding (0xFF) to indicate CPU cycles so that we don't waste an event counter and can target the hardware cycle counter instead. The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other event. This patch uses the architected cycle counter encoding (0x11) so that we avoid potentially clashing with event encodings on future CPU implementations.

2012-10-13vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton
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>
