2012-07-31ipc: use Kconfig options for __ARCH_WANT_[COMPAT_]IPC_PARSE_VERSIONWill Deacon
Rather than #define the options manually in the architecture code, add Kconfig options for them and select them there instead. This also allows us to select the compat IPC version parsing automatically for platforms using the old compat IPC interface.

2012-06-01x86, efi: Add EFI boot stub documentationMatt Fleming
Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and how it works. The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere. This has tripped up a couple of users.

2012-05-26x86: use the new generic strnlen_user() functionLinus Torvalds
This throws away the old x86-specific functions in favor of the generic optimized version. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-05-26x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routineLinus Torvalds
The generic strncpy_from_user() is not really optimal, since it is designed to work on both little-endian and big-endian. And on little-endian you can simplify much of the logic to find the first zero byte, since little-endian arithmetic doesn't have to worry about the carry bit propagating into earlier bytes (only later bytes, which we don't care about). But I have patches to make the generic routines use the architecture- specific <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure, so that we can regain the little-endian optimizations. But before we do that, switch over to the generic routines to make the patches each do just one well-defined thing. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski: "These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem (mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted. The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big chunk of physically contiguous memory. For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles: - 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator': http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/ - 'CMA and ARM': http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/ - 'A deep dive into CMA': http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/ - and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous versions: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204 The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the core, common code. The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework. This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware. For more information please refer to the following thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar: "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years in Fedora and RHEL kernels. This version is much rewritten, reviews from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result. This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well. Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc() calls without modifying user-space binaries. First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled. If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed within libc (binaries can be specified as well): $ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6 To probe libc's malloc(): $ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc Added new event: probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1 Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to look very boring): $ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make [ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712 $ perf report | less 32.03% git libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc 29.49% cc1 libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--0.95%-- 0x208eb1000000000 | |--0.63%-- htab_traverse_noresize 11.04% as libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 7.15% ld libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 5.07% sh libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.99% python-config libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.54% make libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--7.34%-- glob | | | |--93.18%-- 0x41588f | | | --6.82%-- glob | 0x41588f ...

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address. vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are kept in an rbtree. If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer. Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a dynamic callback list of event consumers. The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers. The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of entries (which limits probe execution parallelism). The API: uprobes are installed/removed via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate to it. Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed by setting perf_paranoid to -1. You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

2012-05-24Merge branch 'delete-mca' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker: "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than 64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware. So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it; wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git grep'ping over it, and so on." Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory* there may be users out there. But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't argue for keeping MCA support either. So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net: delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA"). * 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support. scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support. arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA

This is achieved by the architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT. This option is enabled for x86 and MIPS currently. On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant exception table format was needed. This required the abstracting out of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated assumptions about the x86 exception table format. While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for rdmsr_safe() et al. All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is now pretty nice and modern.

2012-05-21timers: Fixup the Kconfig consolidation falloutThomas Gleixner
Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we broke them. Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others. This does not change anything for the architectures using the old style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there. For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

2012-05-17MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.Paul Gortmaker
Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series. This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in carrying this any further into the future. One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

2012-05-03vfs: make word-at-a-time accesses handle a non-existing pageLinus Torvalds
It turns out that there are more cases than CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that can have holes in the kernel address space: it seems to happen easily with Xen, and it looks like the AMD gart64 code will also punch holes dynamically. Actually hitting that case is still very unlikely, so just do the access, and take an exception and fix it up for the very unlikely case of it being a page-crosser with no next page. And hey, this abstraction might even help other architectures that have other issues with unaligned word accesses than the possible missing next page. IOW, this could do the byte order magic too. Peter Anvin fixed a thinko in the shifting for the exception case.

2012-04-28ftrace/x86: Remove the complex ftrace NMI handling codeSteven Rostedt
As ftrace function tracing would require modifying code that could be executed in NMI context, which is not stopped with stop_machine(), ftrace had to do a complex algorithm with various stages of setup and memory barriers to make it work. With the new breakpoint method, this is no longer required. The changes to the code can be done without any problem in NMI context, as well as without stop machine altogether. Remove the complex code as it is no longer needed. Also, a lot of the notrace annotations could be removed from the NMI code as it is now safe to trace them. With the exception of do_nmi itself, which does some special work to handle running in the debug stack. The breakpoint method can cause NMIs to double nest the debug stack if it's not setup properly, and that is done in do_nmi(), thus that function must not be traced.

2012-04-14x86: Enable HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTERWill Drewry
Enable support for seccomp filter on x86: - syscall_get_arch() - syscall_get_arguments() - syscall_rollback() - syscall_set_return_value() - SIGSYS siginfo_t support - secure_computing is called from a ptrace_event()-safe context - secure_computing return value is checked (see below). SECCOMP_RET_TRACE and SECCOMP_RET_TRAP may result in seccomp needing to skip a system call without killing the process. This is done by returning a non-zero (-1) value from secure_computing. This change makes x86 respect that return value. To ensure that minimal kernel code is exposed, a non-zero return value results in an immediate return to user space (with an invalid syscall number).

The "ConneXt" sta2x11 I/O Hub is a bridge from PCIe to AMBA, and is used as main chipset in some Atom boards. The set of peripherals it exports live in an AMBA bus internal to the chip, so a custom remapping of addresses is needed.

Originally the plan has been to create an all-new irq_domain implementation which addresses some of the powerpc shortcomings such as not handling 1:1 mappings well, but doing that proved to be far more difficult and invasive than generalizing the working code and refactoring it in-place. So, this branch rips out the 'new' irq_domain and replaces it with the modified powerpc version (in a fully bisectable way of course). It converts all users over to the new API and makes irq_domain selectable on any architecture. No architecture is forced to enable irq_domain, but the infrastructure is required for doing OpenFirmware style irq translations. It will even work on SPARC even though SPARC has it's own mechanism for translating irqs at boot time. MIPS, microblaze, embedded x86 and c6x are converted too.

2012-03-15[PATCH v3] ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC syscallsChris Metcalf
When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls. However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC syscalls do not do this. semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth argument, instead of the fourth argument itself. msgsnd(), msgrcv() and shmat() expect arguments in different order. This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc, s390, and mips). No actual semantics are changed for those architectures, and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c. Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific compat layer. In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64 mode is assumed, since that's what the <asm-generic> headers expect. The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were not being properly handled.
