      mm/hugetlb: add size parameter to huge_pte_offset() · 7868a208
      Punit Agrawal authored 
      A poisoned or migrated hugepage is stored as a swap entry in the page
tables.  On architectures that support hugepages consisting of
contiguous page table entries (such as on arm64) this leads to ambiguity
in determining the page table entry to return in huge_pte_offset() when
a poisoned entry is encountered.

Let's remove the ambiguity by adding a size parameter to convey
additional information about the requested address.  Also fixup the
definition/usage of huge_pte_offset() throughout the tree.

      tile: provide default ioremap declaration · 39229200
      Logan Gunthorpe authored 
      Add a default ioremap function which was not provided in all
circumstances.  (Only when CONFIG_PCI and CONFIG_TILEGX was set).

I have designs to use them in scatterlist.c where they'd likely never be
called with this architecture, but it is needed to compile.  Thus, if
the function is ever hit it returns NULL.

      mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas · 1be7107f
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

      jump_label: Reorder hotplug lock and jump_label_lock · f2545b2d
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      

The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed lock
ordering issues all over the place.

The jump_label code has two issues:

 1) Nested get_online_cpus() invocations

 2) Ordering problems vs. the cpus rwsem and the jump_label_mutex

To cure these, the following lock order has been established;

   cpus_rwsem -> jump_label_lock -> text_mutex

Even if not all architectures need protection against CPU hotplug, taking
cpus_rwsem before jump_label_lock is now mandatory in code pathes which
actually modify code and therefor need text_mutex protection.

Move the get_online_cpus() invocations into the core jump label code and
establish the proper lock order where required.

      Nicolas Dichtel authored 
      

This patch removes the need of subdir-y. Now all files/directories under
arch/<arch>/include/uapi/ are exported.

The only change for userland is the layout of the command 'make
headers_install_all': directories asm-<arch> are replaced by arch-<arch>/.
Those new directories contains all files/directories of the specified arch.

Note that only cris and tile have more directories than only asm:
 - arch-v[10|32] for cris;
 - arch for tile.

      uapi: export all headers under uapi directories · fcc8487d

Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually

For the record, note that exported files for asm directories are a mix of

      tile/time: Set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks · 45b586ef
      Nicolai Stange authored 
      

In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware,
all clockevent device drivers must set ->min_delta_ticks and
->max_delta_ticks rather than ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns: a
clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the
ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant.

Currently, the tile's timer clockevent device is initialized as follows:

  evt->max_delta_ns = clockevent_delta2ns(MAX_TICK, evt);

and

  .min_delta_ns = 1000,

The first one translates to a ->max_delta_ticks value of MAX_TICK.
For the latter, note that the clockevent core will superimpose a
minimum of 1us by itself -- setting ->min_delta_ticks to 1 is safe here.

Initialize ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks with these values.

This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns
and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will
purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from this
driver.

      tile: prefer <arch/intreg.h> to __need_int_reg_t · 34649f72
      Chris Metcalf authored 
      As part of some work in glibc to move away from the "__need" prefix,
this commit breaks away the definitions of __int_reg_t, __uint_reg_t,
__INT_REG_BITS, and __INT_REG_FMT to a separate <arch/intreg.h>
"microheader".  It is then included from <arch/abi.h> to preserve
the semantics of the previous header.

For now, we continue to preserve the __need_int_reg_t semantics
in <arch/abi.h> as well, but anticipate that after a few years
we can obsolete it.

      sched/cputime: Remove generic asm headers · b672592f
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      

cputime_t is now only used by two architectures:

	* powerpc (when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y)
	* s390

And since the core doesn't use it anymore, we don't need any arch support
from the others. So we can remove their stub implementations.

A final cleanup would be to provide an efficient pure arch
implementation of cputime_to_nsec() for s390 and powerpc and finally
remove include/linux/cputime.h .
