mm: vmalloc: pass additional vm_flags to __vmalloc_node_range()

2015-02-14T05:21:42+00:00

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().

__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().

Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range().  Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.

modules: don't hand 0 to vmalloc.

2012-12-14T02:36:43+00:00

In commit d0a21265dfb5fa8a David Rientjes unified various archs'
module_alloc implementation (including x86) and removed the graduitous
shortcut for size == 0.

Then, in commit de7d2b567d040e3b, Joe Perches added a warning for
zero-length vmallocs, which can happen without kallsyms on modules
with no init sections (eg. zlib_deflate).

Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length
anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous
checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.

sparc: fix the return value of module_alloc()

2012-09-21T19:14:20+00:00

In case of error, function module_alloc() in other platform never
returns ERR_PTR(), and all of the user only check for NULL, so
we'd better return NULL instead of ERR_PTR().

sparc32: Kill off software 32-bit multiply/divide routines.

2012-05-15T18:23:47+00:00

For the explicit calls to .udiv/.umul in assembler, I made a
mechanical (read as: safe) transformation.  I didn't attempt
to make any simplifications.

In particular, __ndelay and __udelay can be simplified significantly.
Some of the %y reads are unnecessary and these routines have no need
any longer for allocating a register window, they can be leaf
functions.

sparc64: Patch sun4v code sequences properly on module load.

2011-11-18T06:44:58+00:00

Some of the sun4v code patching occurs in inline functions visible
to, and usable by, modules.

Therefore we have to patch them up during module load.

modules: make arch's use default loader hooks

now provided by the recently added default hooks.
