      mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code about hugetlb_prefault_arch_hook · a67a31fa
      Zhang Zhen authored 
      

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions of
hugetlb_prefault_arch_hook.  In all architectures this function is empty.

      mm: new mm hook framework · 2ae416b1
      Laurent Dufour authored 
      

CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu).  This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.

However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the
vDSO base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the
vDSO sigreturn service.  So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference
is no more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.

This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook framework, and a new
arch_remap hook which is called when mremap is done and the mm lock still
hold.  The next patch is adding the vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the
powerpc architecture.

This patch (of 3):

This patch introduces a new set of header file to manage mm hooks:
- per architecture empty header file (arch/x/include/asm/mm-arch-hooks.h)
- a generic header (include/linux/mm-arch-hooks.h)

The architecture which need to overwrite a hook as to redefine it in its
header file, while architecture which doesn't need have nothing to do.

The default hooks are defined in the generic header and are used in the
case the architecture is not defining it.

In a next step, mm hooks defined in include/asm-generic/mm_hooks.h should
be moved here.

      mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code about huge_pmd_unshare · e81f2d22
      Zhang Zhen authored 
      

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions of huge_pmd_unshare.  In
all architectures this function just returns 0 when
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE is N.

This patch puts the default implementation in mm/hugetlb.c and lets these
architectures use the common code.
