After merging the moduleh tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:
arch/x86/kernel/sys_x86_64.c:28:10: warning: 'enum align_flags' declared inside parameter list
arch/x86/kernel/sys_x86_64.c:28:10: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you
want arch/x86/kernel/sys_x86_64.c:28:22: error: parameter 3 ('flags') has incomplete type
[...]
Presumably caused by the module.h split interacting with a
new commit dfb09f9b7ab0 ("x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties
on AMD family 15h") from the x8 tree.

hpa reported that dfb09f9b7ab03fd367740e541a5caf830ed56726 breaks 32-bit builds with the following error message: /home/hpa/kernel/linux-tip.cpu/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c:437: undefined reference to `va_align' /home/hpa/kernel/linux-tip.cpu/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c:436: undefined reference to `va_align' This is due to the fact that va_align is a global in a 64-bit only compilation unit. Move it to mmap.c where it is visible to both subarches.

This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the cores of a compute module. This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation. This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12] slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases. It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86 individually, or both, or be completely disabled. This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families and/or vendors unaffected.

On an architecture that supports 32-bit compat we need to override the reported machine in uname with the 32-bit value. Instead of doing this separately in every architecture introduce a COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE define in <asm/compat.h> and apply it directly in sys_newuname().

This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated code. It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers) I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL isn't needed. The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really no obstacles. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
