xtensa: minor compiler warning fix

2012-10-19T17:24:20+00:00

Fix two compiler warnings complaining about truncating a value on
a 64-bit host, and about declaring an unused variable that is only
used for a specific configuration.

xtensa: fix boot parameters parsing

2012-10-16T04:43:15+00:00

Boot parameter tags with handlers are ignored like this:

	[    0.000000] Ignoring tag 0x00001003
	[    0.000000] Ignoring tag 0x00001001
	[    0.000000] Ignoring tag 0x00001004

because neither tagtable entries nor tag handlers appear in the vmlinux.

Fix tagtable definition attributes so that tag entries are not dropped.

Fix end of memory bank calculation in parse_tag_mem: it is intended to
round down to page size, but instead did something strange leading to
hang right after boot.

xtensa: copy_thread with CLONE_VM must not copy live parent AR windows

2012-10-16T04:42:27+00:00

When doing a fork (new VM), the new task has a mirror image of the
parent's stack, so keeps the same live register windows etc.
However when doing a clone with CLONE_VM, keeping the same VM
(eg. when creating a new thread), the child starts afresh on a new
stack -- it cannot share any part of the parent stack.  It
especially cannot have the same live AR windows as the parent,
otherwise it will overwrite the parent stack on overflow, likely
causing corruption.  (and so it did...)

Effectively, the register windows need to be spilled.
Turns out it's much easier to simply not copy parent register
windows when CLONE_VM is set.

vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it

2012-10-13T00:14:55+00:00

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

Merge tag 'xtensa-next-20121008' of git://github.com/czankel/xtensa-linux

2012-10-09T07:11:46+00:00

Pull Xtensa patchset from Chris Zankel:
 "The Xtensa tree has been broken for some time now, and this patchset
  brings it back to life.  It has been part of the linux-next tree for
  some time.

  Most changes are inside the xtensa subdirectory; the other changes
  mostly add another rule to already existing #ifdefs to exclude Xtensa,
  where required.  The only 'common' change is to add two more sections
  ('.xt.prop' and '.xt.lit') to the white list in modpost."
