vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-01-29T18:51:32+00:00

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.

module: remove mod arg from module_free, rename module_memfree().

2015-01-20T01:08:33+00:00

Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.

This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
which ftrace and bpf use.

module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed.

2015-01-20T01:08:32+00:00

Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
allocations.  Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
that.

This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
their own module_free() at all.  avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
either.

2014-12-10T17:01:01+00:00

Pull irq domain updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The real interesting irq updates:

   - Support for hierarchical irq domains:

     For complex interrupt routing scenarios where more than one
     interrupt related chip is involved we had no proper representation
     in the generic interrupt infrastructure so far.  That made people
     implement rather ugly constructs in their nested irq chip
     implementations.  The main offenders are x86 and arm/gic.

     To distangle that mess we have now hierarchical irqdomains which
     seperate the various interrupt chips and connect them via the
     hierarchical domains.  That keeps the domain specific details
     internal to the particular hierarchy level and removes the
     criss/cross referencing of chip internals.  The resulting hierarchy
     for a complex x86 system will look like this:

        vector          mapped: 74
          msi-0         mapped: 2
          dmar-ir-1     mapped: 69
            ioapic-1    mapped: 4
            ioapic-0    mapped: 20
            pci-msi-2   mapped: 45
          dmar-ir-0     mapped: 3
            ioapic-2    mapped: 1
            pci-msi-1   mapped: 2
          htirq         mapped: 0

     Neither ioapic nor pci-msi know about the dmar interrupt remapping
     between themself and the vector domain.  If interrupt remapping is
     disabled ioapic and pci-msi become direct childs of the vector
     domain.

     In hindsight we should have done that years ago, but in hindsight
     we always know better :)

   - Support for generic MSI interrupt domain handling

     We have more and more non PCI related MSI interrupts, so providing
     a generic infrastructure for this is better than having all
     affected architectures implementing their own private hacks.

   - Support for PCI-MSI interrupt domain handling, based on the generic
     MSI support.

     This part carries the pci/msi branch from Bjorn Helgaas pci tree to
     avoid a massive conflict.  The PCI/MSI parts are acked by Bjorn.

  I have two more branches on top of this.  The full conversion of x86
  to hierarchical domains and a partial conversion of arm/gic"
