tile: use free_bootmem_late() for initrd

2015-08-10T19:21:05+00:00

commit 3f81d2447b37ac697b3c600039f2c6b628c06e21 upstream.

We were previously using free_bootmem() and just getting lucky
that nothing too bad happened.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-04-29T08:31:55+00:00

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

mm: page_alloc: convert hot/cold parameter and immediate callers to bool

2015-01-30T01:40:51+00:00

commit b745bc85f21ea707e4ea1a91948055fa3e72c77b upstream.

cold is a bool, make it one.  Make the likely case the "if" part of the
block instead of the else as according to the optimisation manual this is
preferred.

hugetlb: restrict hugepage_migration_support() to x86_64

2014-07-01T03:11:53+00:00

commit c177c81e09e517bbf75b67762cdab1b83aba6976 upstream.

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support
pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're
bugs for other archs.  So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.

Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

tile: remove compat_sys_lookup_dcookie declaration to fix compile error

2014-02-01T18:55:15+00:00

With commit d8d14bd09cdd ("fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter
handling") I changed the type of the len parameter of the
lookup_dcookie() syscall.

However I missed that there was still a stale declaration in
arch/tile/..  which now causes a compile error on tile:

  In file included from fs/dcookies.c:28:0:
  include/linux/compat.h:425:17: error: conflicting types for 'compat_sys_lookup_dcookie'
  fs/dcookies.c:207:1: error: conflicting types for 'compat_sys_lookup_dcookie'

Simply remove the declaration in the tile architecture, which is only a
leftover from before the different compat lookup_dcookie() versions have
been merged.  The correct declaration is now in include/linux/compat.h

The build error was reported by Fenguang's build bot.

arch: Clean up asm/barrier.h implementations using asm-generic/barrier.h

2014-01-12T09:37:15+00:00

We're going to be adding a few new barrier primitives, and in order to
avoid endless duplication make more agressive use of
asm-generic/barrier.h.

Change the asm-generic/barrier.h such that it allows partial barrier
definitions and fills out the rest with defaults.

There are a few architectures (m32r, m68k) that could probably
do away with their barrier.h file entirely but are kept for now due to
their unconventional nop() implementation.
