mm: hugetlbfs: correctly populate shared pmd

2012-09-12T02:37:25+00:00

commit eb48c071464757414538c68a6033c8f8c15196f8 upstream.

Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly
accounted for in _mapcount.  Normally the rules for this are
straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different.  The page
table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount
remains the same.

If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by
Larry Woodman:

During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()
shared page tables with the check dst_pte == src_pte.  The logic is if
the PMD page is the same, they must be shared.  This assumes that the
sharing is between the parent and child.  However, if the sharing is
with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this
diagram:

  parent
    |
    ------------>pmd
                 src_pte----------> data page
                                        ^
  other--------->pmd--------------------|
                  ^
  child-----------|
                 dst_pte

For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to
have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other.  This is
possible due to the following style of race.

  PROC A                                          PROC B
  copy_hugetlb_page_range                         copy_hugetlb_page_range
    src_pte == huge_pte_offset                      src_pte == huge_pte_offset
    !src_pte so no sharing                          !src_pte so no sharing

  (time passes)

  hugetlb_fault                                   hugetlb_fault
    huge_pte_alloc                                  huge_pte_alloc
      huge_pmd_share                                 huge_pmd_share
        LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
        find nothing, no sharing
        UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                      LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                      find nothing, no sharing
                                                      UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
      pmd_alloc                                       pmd_alloc
      LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
      fault
      UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                  LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                  fault
                                                  UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)

These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not
sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed.  When either
process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient.
As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in
(harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a
shared page table leading to the BUG_ON.

This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share
which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical
section as pmd.  This also means that huge_pte_offset test in
huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the
success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud
and pmd populated together.

Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman.

Redefine ATOMIC_INIT and ATOMIC64_INIT to drop the casts

2012-09-12T02:37:14+00:00

commit 67a806d9499353fabd5b5ff07337f3aa88a1c3ba upstream.

The following build error occurred during an alpha build:

  net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant

Dave Anglin says:
> Here is the line in sock.i:
>
> struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled =
> ((atomic_t) { (0) }) });

The above line contains two compound literals.  It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled.  A compound literal is not a
constant expression.

The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.

alpha: Don't export SOCK_NONBLOCK to user space.

2012-09-12T02:37:14+00:00

commit a2fa3ccd7b43665fe14cb562761a6c3d26a1d13f upstream.

Currently we export SOCK_NONBLOCK to user space but that conflicts with
the definition from glibc leading to compilation errors in user programs
(e.g.  see Debian bug #658460).

The generic socket.h restricts the definition of SOCK_NONBLOCK to the
kernel, as does the MIPS specific socket.h, so let's do the same on
Alpha.

ARM: 7489/1: errata: fix workaround for erratum #720789 on UP systems

2012-09-12T02:36:57+00:00

commit 730a8128cd8978467eb1cf546b11014acb57d433 upstream.

Commit 5a783cbc4836 ("ARM: 7478/1: errata: extend workaround for erratum
 #720789") added workarounds for erratum #720789 to the range TLB
invalidation functions with the observation that the erratum only
affects SMP platforms. However, when running an SMP_ON_UP kernel on a
uniprocessor platform we must take care to preserve the ASID as the
workaround is not required.

This patch ensures that we don't set the ASID to 0 when flushing the TLB
on such a system, preserving the original behaviour with the workaround
disabled.

ARM: 7488/1: mm: use 5 bits for swapfile type encoding

2012-09-12T02:36:57+00:00

commit f5f2025ef3e2cdb593707cbf87378761f17befbe upstream.

Page migration encodes the pfn in the offset field of a swp_entry_t.
For LPAE, we support physical addresses of up to 36 bits (due to
sparsemem limitations with the size of page flags), requiring 24 bits
to represent a pfn. A further 3 bits are used to encode a swp_entry into
a pte, leaving 5 bits for the type field. Furthermore, the core code
defines MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT as 5, so the additional type bit does not
get used.

This patch reduces the width of the type field to 5 bits, allowing us
to create up to 31 swapfiles of 64GB each.

s390/compat: fix mmap compat system calls

2012-08-19T17:15:35+00:00

commit e85871218513c54f7dfdb6009043cb638f2fecbe upstream.

The native 31 bit and the compat behaviour for the mmap system calls differ:

In native 31 bit mode the passed in address for the mmap system call will be
unmodified passed to sys_mmap_pgoff().
In compat mode however the passed in address will be modified with
compat_ptr() which masks out the most significant bit.

The result is that in native 31 bit mode each mmap request (with MAP_FIXED)
will fail where the most significat bit is set, while in compat mode it
may succeed.

This odd behaviour was introduced with d3815898 "[S390] mmap: add missing
compat_ptr conversion to both mmap compat syscalls".

To restore a consistent behaviour accross native and compat mode this
patch functionally reverts the above mentioned commit.

Input: eeti_ts: pass gpio value instead of IRQ

2012-08-19T17:15:34+00:00

commit 4eef6cbfcc03b294d9d334368a851b35b496ce53 upstream.

The EETI touchscreen asserts its IRQ line as soon as it has data in its
internal buffers. The line is automatically deasserted once all data has
been read via I2C. Hence, the driver has to monitor the GPIO line and
cannot simply rely on the interrupt handler reception.

In the current implementation of the driver, irq_to_gpio() is used to
determine the GPIO number from the i2c_client's IRQ value.

As irq_to_gpio() is not available on all platforms, this patch changes
this and makes the driver ignore the passed in IRQ. Instead, a GPIO is
added to the platform_data struct and gpio_to_irq is used to derive the
IRQ from that GPIO. If this fails, bail out. The driver is only able to
work in environments where the touchscreen GPIO can be mapped to an
IRQ.

Without this patch, building raumfeld_defconfig results in:

drivers/input/touchscreen/eeti_ts.c: In function 'eeti_ts_irq_active':
drivers/input/touchscreen/eeti_ts.c:65:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'irq_to_gpio' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

ARM: mxs: Remove MMAP_MIN_ADDR setting from mxs_defconfig

2012-08-19T17:15:29+00:00

commit 3bed491c8d28329e34f8a31e3fe64d03f3a350f1 upstream.

The CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR was set to 65536 in mxs_defconfig,
this caused severe breakage of userland applications since the upper
limit for ARM is 32768. By default CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR is
set to 4096 and can also be changed via /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr
if needed.

Quoting Russell King [1]:

"4096 is also fine for ARM too. There's not much point in having
defconfigs change it - that would just be pure noise in the config
files."

the CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR can be removed from the defconfig
altogether.

This problem was introduced by commit cde7c41 (ARM: configs: add
defconfig for mach-mxs).
