kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code

2015-09-10T20:29:01+00:00

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
 kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c.  In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.

And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.

The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled.  But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.

Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel.  KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.

Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.  Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

This allows configuring with allnoconfig (for tilegx) or allyesconfig
(for tilepro) without creating an unbuildable configuration.

EDAC: Cleanup atomic_scrub mess

2015-05-28T13:31:53+00:00

So first of all, this atomic_scrub() function's naming is bad. It looks
like an atomic_t helper. Change it to edac_atomic_scrub().

The bigger problem is that this function is arch-specific and every new
arch which doesn't necessarily need that functionality still needs to
define it, otherwise EDAC doesn't compile.

So instead of doing that and including arch-specific headers, have each
arch define an EDAC_ATOMIC_SCRUB symbol which can be used in edac_mc.c
for ifdeffery. Much cleaner.

And we already are doing this with another symbol - EDAC_SUPPORT. This
is also much cleaner than having CONFIG_EDAC enumerate all the arches
which need/have EDAC support and drivers.

This way I can kill the useless edac.h header in tile too.

tile: improve stack backtrace

2015-05-11T15:22:40+00:00

This commit fixes a number of issues with the tile backtrace code.

- Don't try to identify userspace shared object or executable paths
  if we are doing a backtrace from an interrupt; it's not legal,
  and also unlikely to be interesting.  Likewise, don't try to do
  it for other address spaces, since d_path() assumes it is being
  called in "current" context.

- Move "in_backtrace" from thread_struct to thread_info.
  This way we can access it even if our stack thread_info has been
  clobbered, which makes backtracing more robust.

- Avoid using "current" directly when testing for is_sigreturn().
  Since "current" may be corrupt, we're better off using kbt->task
  explicitly to look up the vdso_base for the current task.
  Conveniently, this simplifies the internal APIs (we only need
  one is_sigreturn() function now).

- Avoid bogus "Odd fault" warning when pc/sp/ex1 are all zero,
  as is true for kernel threads above the last frame.

- Hook into Tejun Heo's dump_stack() framework in lib/dump_stack.c.

- Write last entry in save_stack_trace() as ULONG_MAX, not zero,
  since ftrace (at least) relies on finding that marker.

- Implement save_stack_trace_regs() and save_strack_trace_user(),
  and set CONFIG_USER_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT.

tile: add and enable support functions

2015-04-30T19:23:37+00:00

This change enables the generic strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user()
using word-at-a-time.h.  The tile implementation is trivial since
both tilepro and tilegx have SIMD operations that do byte-wise
comparisons against immediate zero for each byte, and return an
0x01 byte in each position where there is a 0x00 byte.

2015-04-17T18:01:10+00:00

Add the TIF_NOHZ flag appropriately.

Add call to user_exit() on entry to do_work_pending() and on entry
to syscalls via do_syscall_trace_enter(), and also the top of
do_syscall_trace_exit() just because it's done in x86.

Add call to user_enter() at the bottom of do_work_pending() once we
have no more work to do before returning to userspace.

Wrap all the trap code in exception_enter() / exception_exit().
