compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation bug

2013-11-28T14:02:03+00:00

commit 3f0116c3238a96bc18ad4b4acefe4e7be32fa861 upstream.

Fengguang Wu, Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra tracked down
a kernel crash to a GCC bug: GCC miscompiles certain 'asm goto'
constructs, as outlined here:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58670

Implement a workaround suggested by Jakub Jelinek.

sparc32: support atomic64_t

2013-09-10T00:57:32+00:00

commit aea1181b0bd0a09c54546399768f359d1e198e45 upstream.

There is no-one that really require atomic64_t support on sparc32.
But several drivers fails to build without proper atomic64 support.
And for an allyesconfig build for sparc32 this is annoying.

Include the generic atomic64_t support for sparc32.
This has a text footprint cost:

$size vmlinux (before atomic64_t support)
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3578860  134260  108781 3821901  3a514d vmlinux

$size vmlinux (after atomic64_t support)
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3579892  130684  108781 3819357  3a475d vmlinux

text increase (3579892 - 3578860) = 1032 bytes

data decreases - but I fail to explain why!
I have rebuild twice to check my numbers.

sparc64: Fix race in TLB batch processing.

2013-05-13T14:02:42+00:00

[ Commits f36391d2790d04993f48da6a45810033a2cdf847 and
  f0af97070acbad5d6a361f485828223a4faaa0ee upstream. ]

As reported by Dave Kleikamp, when we emit cross calls to do batched
TLB flush processing we have a race because we do not synchronize on
the sibling cpus completing the cross call.

So meanwhile the TLB batch can be reset (tb->tlb_nr set to zero, etc.)
and either flushes are missed or flushes will flush the wrong
addresses.

Fix this by using generic infrastructure to synchonize on the
completion of the cross call.

This first required getting the flush_tlb_pending() call out from
switch_to() which operates with locks held and interrupts disabled.
The problem is that smp_call_function_many() cannot be invoked with
IRQs disabled and this is explicitly checked for with WARN_ON_ONCE().

We get the batch processing outside of locked IRQ disabled sections by
using some ideas from the powerpc port. Namely, we only batch inside
of arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() calls.  If we're not in such a
region, we flush TLBs synchronously.

1) Get rid of xcall_flush_tlb_pending and per-cpu type
   implementations.

2) Do TLB batch cross calls instead via:

	smp_call_function_many()
		tlb_pending_func()
			__flush_tlb_pending()

3) Batch only in lazy mmu sequences:

	a) Add 'active' member to struct tlb_batch
	b) Define __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE
	c) Set 'active' in arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode()
	d) Run batch and clear 'active' in arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()
	e) Check 'active' in tlb_batch_add_one() and do a synchronous
           flush if it's clear.

4) Add infrastructure for synchronous TLB page flushes.

	a) Implement __flush_tlb_page and per-cpu variants, patch
	   as needed.
	b) Likewise for xcall_flush_tlb_page.
	c) Implement smp_flush_tlb_page() to invoke the cross-call.
	d) Wire up global_flush_tlb_page() to the right routine based
           upon CONFIG_SMP

5) It turns out that singleton batches are very common, 2 out of every
   3 batch flushes have only a single entry in them.

   The batch flush waiting is very expensive, both because of the poll
   on sibling cpu completeion, as well as because passing the tlb batch
   pointer to the sibling cpus invokes a shared memory dereference.

   Therefore, in flush_tlb_pending(), if there is only one entry in
   the batch perform a completely asynchronous global_flush_tlb_page()
   instead.

signal: Define __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER so we know whether to clear sa_restorer

2013-03-27T02:41:25+00:00

flush_signal_handlers() needs to know whether sigaction::sa_restorer
is defined, not whether SA_RESTORER is defined.  Define the
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER macro to indicate this.

Vaguely based on upstream commit 574c4866e33d 'consolidate kernel-side
struct sigaction declarations'.

To handle the large physical addresses, just make a simple wrapper

sparc: remove several unnecessary module.h include instances

2011-10-31T23:30:54+00:00

Building an allyesconfig doesn't reveal a hidden need
for any of these.  Since module.h brings in the whole kitchen
sink, it just needlessly adds 30k+ lines to the cpp burden.

compat: sync compat_stats with statfs.

2011-10-28T12:58:53+00:00

This was found by inspection while tracking a similar
bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline
since decemeber.

- This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields
  were cleared on mips and s390.
- Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs
- Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares.
- Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace
  to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared.
  On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some
  architectures f_spare only has 4 ints.  Which makes
  the previous technique of clearing each int individually
  broken.

I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system
call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having
the compat and the native version working the same.
