ARM: 8777/1: Hook up SYNC_CORE functionality for sys_membarrier()

2018-07-11T10:02:08+00:00

Exception return implies context synchronization, so we can hook up the
SYNC_CORE option to sys_membarrier() simply by selecting the Kconfig option,
just like we've done for arm64 already.

Kbuild: rename HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR config variable

2018-06-14T22:15:28+00:00

HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR should be selected by architectures with stack
canary implementation.  It is not about the compiler support.

For the consistency with commit 050e9baa9dc9 ("Kbuild: rename
CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables"), remove 'CC_' from the
config symbol.

I moved the 'select' lines to keep the alphabetical sorting.

mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL

2018-06-08T00:34:35+00:00

Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture
header files.  Most of the time, it is defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per
architecture static definition.

This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this
directly in the Kconfig files.  It would later replace
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL.

Here notes for some architecture where the definition of
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious:

arm
 __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE.

powerpc
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files:
 - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h
 - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h
The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is
included in all the other cases.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time.

sparc:
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) &&
defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in
sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64

There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

Merge tag 'docs-4.18' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

2018-06-04T19:34:27+00:00

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "There's been a fair amount of work in the docs tree this time around,
  including:

   - Extensive RST conversions and organizational work in the
     memory-management docs thanks to Mike Rapoport.

   - An update of Documentation/features from Andrea Parri and a script
     to keep it updated.

   - Various LICENSES updates from Thomas, along with a script to check
     SPDX tags.

   - Work to fix dangling references to documentation files; this
     involved a fair number of one-liner comment changes outside of
     Documentation/

  ... and the usual list of documentation improvements, typo fixes, etc"

Revert "Documentation/features/vm: Remove arch support status file for 'pte_special'"

2018-05-10T21:42:22+00:00

The removal of this file appears to have been premature; it's not a feature
enabled by Kconfig, but it's a arch-level feature regardless.  Put it back
for now until some happy future time when we decide how we really want to
document such features.

This reverts commit 2bef69a385b4c1c01d8abae0aa035f0ffa051f07.

Documentation/features/locking: Use '!RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK' as Kconfig for 'rwsem-optimized'

2018-05-08T15:28:25+00:00

Uses '!RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK' in place of 'Optimized asm/rwsem.h' as
Kconfig for 'rwsem-optimized': the new Kconfig expresses this feature
equivalently, while also enabling the script 'features-refresh.sh' to
operate on the corresponding arch support status file. Also refreshes
the status matrix by using the script 'features-refresh.sh'.

were auto-generated using the script 'features-refresh.sh'.
