After a bunch of benchmarking on the interaction between dmb and pldw, it turns out that issuing the pldw *after* the dmb instruction can give modest performance gains (~3% atomic_add_return improvement on a dual A15). This patch adds prefetchw invocations to our barriered atomic operations including cmpxchg, test_and_xxx and futexes. Signed-off-by:

The Coherant DMA allocator allocates pages of high order then splits them up into smaller pages. This splitting logic would run into problems if the allocator was given compound pages. Thus the Coherant DMA allocator was originally incompatible with compound pages existing and, by extension, huge pages. A compile #error was put in place whenever huge pages were enabled. Compatibility with compound pages has since been introduced by the following commit (which merely excludes GFP_COMP pages from being requested by the coherant DMA allocator): ea2e7057 ARM: 7172/1: dma: Drop GFP_COMP for DMA memory allocations When huge page support was introduced to ARM, the compile #error in dma-mapping.c was replaced by a #warning when it should have been removed instead. This patch removes the compile #warning in dma-mapping.c when huge pages are enabled. Signed-off-by:

The functions in mcpm_entry.c are mostly intended for use during scary cache and coherency disabling sequences, or do other things which confuse trace ... like powering a CPU down and not returning. Similarly for the backend code. For simplicity, this patch just makes whole files notrace. There should be more than enough traceable points on the paths to these functions, but we can be more fine-grained later if there is a need for it. Jon Medhurst: Also added spc.o to the list of files as it contains functions used by MCPM code which have comments comments like: "might be used in code paths where normal cacheable locks are not working" Signed-off-by:

CPU_32v6 currently selects CPU_USE_DOMAINS if CPU_V6 and MMU. This is because ARM 1136 r0pX CPUs lack the v6k extensions, and therefore do not have hardware thread registers. The lack of these registers requires the kernel to update the vectors page at each context switch in order to write a new TLS pointer. This write must be done via the userspace mapping, since aliasing caches can lead to expensive flushing when using kmap. Finally, this requires the vectors page to be mapped r/w for kernel and r/o for user, which has implications for things like put_user which must trigger CoW appropriately when targetting user pages. The upshot of all this is that a v6/v7 kernel makes use of domains to segregate kernel and user memory accesses. This has the nasty side-effect of making device mappings executable, which has been observed to cause subtle bugs on recent cores (e.g. Cortex-A15 performing a speculative instruction fetch from the GIC and acking an interrupt in the process). This patch solves this problem by removing the remaining domain support from ARMv6. A new memory type is added specifically for the vectors page which allows that page (and only that page) to be mapped as user r/o, kernel r/w. All other user r/o pages are mapped also as kernel r/o.

Booting on feroceon CPUS requires the L2 cache to be turned off. With some kernel configurations (notably CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT disabled) the kernel will boot even if the L2 is turned on. However there may be subtle breakage, and when PATCH_PHYS_VIRT is enabled it is very likely that booting with L2 will crash at early boot before any kernel diagnostic output. The diagnostic message is intended to discourage people from shipping bootloaders that leave the L2 turned on. The issue on feroceon is that the L2 is bypassed when the L1 caches are disabled. So the decompressor will place parts of the kernel image into the L2 and the early cache-off boot code in head.S will write to parts of the kernel image, bypassing the L2 and creating inconsistency.

FPGA implementations of the Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 are now available in the form of the SMM-A57 and SMM-A53 Soft Macrocell Models (SMMs) for Versatile Express. As these attach to a Motherboard Express V2M-P1 it would be useful to have support for some V2M-P1 peripherals enabled by default. Additionally a couple of of features have been introduced since the last defconfig update (CMA, jump labels) that would be good to have enabled by default to ensure they are build and boot tested. This patch updates the arm64 defconfig to enable support for these devices and features. The arm64 Kconfig is modified to select HAVE_PATA_PLATFORM, which is required to enable support for the CompactFlash controller on the V2M-P1. A few options which don't need to appear in defconfig are trimmed: * BLK_DEV - selected by default * EXPERIMENTAL - otherwise gone from the kernel * MII - selected by drivers which require it * USB_SUPPORT - selected by default Signed-off-by:

Linux requires a number of atomic operations to provide full barrier semantics, that is no memory accesses after the operation can be observed before any accesses up to and including the operation in program order. On arm64, these operations have been incorrectly implemented as follows: // A, B, C are independent memory locations <Access [A]> // atomic_op (B) 1: ldaxr x0, [B] // Exclusive load with acquire <op(B)> stlxr w1, x0, [B] // Exclusive store with release cbnz w1, 1b <Access [C]> The assumption here being that two half barriers are equivalent to a full barrier, so the only permitted ordering would be A -> B -> C (where B is the atomic operation involving both a load and a store). Unfortunately, this is not the case by the letter of the architecture and, in fact, the accesses to A and C are permitted to pass their nearest half barrier resulting in orderings such as Bl -> A -> C -> Bs or Bl -> C -> A -> Bs (where Bl is the load-acquire on B and Bs is the store-release on B). This is a clear violation of the full barrier requirement. The simple way to fix this is to implement the same algorithm as ARMv7 using explicit barriers: <Access [A]> // atomic_op (B) dmb ish // Full barrier 1: ldxr x0, [B] // Exclusive load <op(B)> stxr w1, x0, [B] // Exclusive store cbnz w1, 1b dmb ish // Full barrier <Access [C]> but this has the undesirable effect of introducing *two* full barrier instructions. A better approach is actually the following, non-intuitive sequence: <Access [A]> // atomic_op (B) 1: ldxr x0, [B] // Exclusive load <op(B)> stlxr w1, x0, [B] // Exclusive store with release cbnz w1, 1b dmb ish // Full barrier <Access [C]> The simple observations here are: - The dmb ensures that no subsequent accesses (e.g. the access to C) can enter or pass the atomic sequence. - The dmb also ensures that no prior accesses (e.g. the access to A) can pass the atomic sequence. - Therefore, no prior access can pass a subsequent access, or vice-versa (i.e. A is strictly ordered before C). - The stlxr ensures that no prior access can pass the store component of the atomic operation. The only tricky part remaining is the ordering between the ldxr and the access to A, since the absence of the first dmb means that we're now permitting re-ordering between the ldxr and any prior accesses. From an (arbitrary) observer's point of view, there are two scenarios: 1. We have observed the ldxr. This means that if we perform a store to [B], the ldxr will still return older data. If we can observe the ldxr, then we can potentially observe the permitted re-ordering with the access to A, which is clearly an issue when compared to the dmb variant of the code. Thankfully, the exclusive monitor will save us here since it will be cleared as a result of the store and the ldxr will retry. Notice that any use of a later memory observation to imply observation of the ldxr will also imply observation of the access to A, since the stlxr/dmb ensure strict ordering. 2. We have not observed the ldxr. This means we can perform a store and influence the later ldxr. However, that doesn't actually tell us anything about the access to [A], so we've not lost anything here either when compared to the dmb variant. This patch implements this solution for our barriered atomic operations, ensuring that we satisfy the full barrier requirements where they are needed.

The following path will cause array out of bound. memblock_add_region() will always set nid in memblock.reserved to MAX_NUMNODES. In numa_register_memblks(), after we set all nid to correct valus in memblock.reserved, we called setup_node_data(), and used memblock_alloc_nid() to allocate memory, with nid set to MAX_NUMNODES. The nodemask_t type can be seen as a bit array. And the index is 0 ~ MAX_NUMNODES-1. After that, when we call node_set() in numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug(), the nodemask_t got an index of value MAX_NUMNODES, which is out of [0 ~ MAX_NUMNODES-1]. See below: numa_init() |---> numa_register_memblks() | |---> memblock_set_node(memory) set correct nid in memblock.memory | |---> memblock_set_node(reserved) set correct nid in memblock.reserved | |...... | |---> setup_node_data() | |---> memblock_alloc_nid() here, nid is set to MAX_NUMNODES (1024) |...... |---> numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() |---> node_set() here, we have an index 1024, and overflowed This patch moves nid setting to numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() to fix this problem.

This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct filename', and to free it when it is done. This is what the normal users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling. The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished, which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory. To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces "getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname() function, except with the source coming from kernel memory. As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers setup_new_exec(). That would be a separate cleanup.

When __kernel_clock_gettime is called with a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE or CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE clock id, it returns incorrectly to whatever the caller has placed in x2 ("ret x2" to return from the fast path). Fix this by saving x30/LR to x2 only in code that will call __do_get_tspec, restoring x30 afterward, and using a plain "ret" to return from the routine. Also: while the resulting tv_nsec value for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC must be computed using intermediate values that are left-shifted by cs_shift (x12, set by __do_get_tspec), the results for coarse clocks should be calculated using unshifted values (xtime_coarse_nsec is in units of actual nanoseconds). The current code shifts intermediate values by x12 unconditionally, but x12 is uninitialized when servicing a coarse clock. Fix this by setting x12 to 0 once we know we are dealing with a coarse clock id. Signed-off-by:

Whilst the text segment for our VDSO is marked as PT_LOAD in the ELF headers, it is mapped by the kernel and not actually subject to demand-paging. ld doesn't realise this, and emits a p_align field of 64k (the maximum supported page size), which conflicts with the load address picked by the kernel on 4k systems, which will be 4k aligned. This causes GDB to fail with "Failed to read a valid object file image from memory" when attempting to load the VDSO. This patch passes the -n option to ld, which prevents it from aligning PT_LOAD segments to the maximum page size. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Reported-by:

Add support for the flexible mmap memory layout (as described in http://lwn.net/Articles/91829 ). This is especially very interesting on parisc since we currently only support 32bit userspace (even with a 64bit Linux kernel). Signed-off-by:

On Linux, only parisc uses a different value for EWOULDBLOCK which causes a lot of troubles for applications not checking for both values. Since the hpux compat is long dead, make EWOULDBLOCK behave the same as all other architectures. Signed-off-by:

The stat.h header file is exported to userspace. Some userspace applications failed to compile due to missing/unknown types, so we better convert it to use native types only (like it's done on other architectures too). Signed-off-by:

This commit: f8dae006: parisc: Ensure full cache coherency for kmap/kunmap caused negative caching side-effects, e.g. hanging processes with expect and too many inequivalent alias messages from flush_dcache_page() on Debian 5 systems. This patch now partly reverts it and has been in production use on our debian buildd makeservers since a week without any major problems. Signed-off-by:

With DISCONTIGMEM, the mapping between a pfn and its owning node is initialized using data provided by the BIOS. However, the initialization may fail if the extents are not aligned to section boundary (64M). The symptom of this bug is an early boot failure in pfn_to_page(), as it tries to access NODE_DATA(__nid) using index from an unitialized element of the physnode_map[] array. While the bug is always present, it is more likely to be hit in kdump kernels on large machines, because: 1. The memory map for a kdump kernel is specified as exactmap, and exactmap is more likely to be unaligned. 2. Large reservations are more likely to span across a 64M boundary.

With commit d8d14bd0 ("fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter handling") I changed the type of the len parameter of the lookup_dcookie() syscall. However I missed that there was still a stale declaration in arch/tile/.. which now causes a compile error on tile: In file included from fs/dcookies.c:28:0: include/linux/compat.h:425:17: error: conflicting types for 'compat_sys_lookup_dcookie' fs/dcookies.c:207:1: error: conflicting types for 'compat_sys_lookup_dcookie' Simply remove the declaration in the tile architecture, which is only a leftover from before the different compat lookup_dcookie() versions have been merged. The correct declaration is now in include/linux/compat.h The build error was reported by Fenguang's build bot. Signed-off-by:
