asm-generic: remove _STK_LIM_MAX

2014-05-14T23:32:09Z

_STK_LIM_MAX could be used to override the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit from an arch's include/uapi/asm-generic/resource.h file, but is no longer used since both parisc and metag removed the override. Therefore remove it entirely, setting the hard RLIMIT_STACK limit to RLIM_INFINITY directly in include/asm-generic/resource.h.

arm64: fixmap: fix missing sub-page offset for earlyprintk

2014-05-03T21:20:31Z

Commit d57c33c5daa4 (add generic fixmap.h) added (among other similar things) set_fixmap_io to deal with early ioremap of devices. More recently, commit bf4b558eba92 (arm64: add early_ioremap support) converted the arm64 earlyprintk to use set_fixmap_io. A side effect of this conversion is that my virtual machines have stopped booting when I pass "earlyprintk=uart8250-8bit,0x3f8" to the guest kernel. Turns out that the new earlyprintk code doesn't care at all about sub-page offsets, and just assumes that the earlyprintk device will be page-aligned. Obviously, that doesn't play well with the above example. Further investigation shows that set_fixmap_io uses __set_fixmap instead of __set_fixmap_offset. A fix is to introduce a set_fixmap_offset_io that uses the latter, and to remove the superflous call to fix_to_virt (which only returns the value that set_fixmap_io has already given us). With this applied, my VMs are back in business. Tested on a Cortex-A57 platform with kvmtool as platform emulation.

word-at-a-time: avoid undefined behaviour in zero_bytemask macro

2014-04-27T22:20:05Z

The asm-generic, big-endian version of zero_bytemask creates a mask of bytes preceding the first zero-byte by left shifting ~0ul based on the position of the first zero byte. Unfortunately, if the first (top) byte is zero, the output of prep_zero_mask has only the top bit set, resulting in undefined C behaviour as we shift left by an amount equal to the width of the type. As it happens, GCC doesn't manage to spot this through the call to fls(), but the issue remains if architectures choose to implement their shift instructions differently. An example would be arch/arm/ (AArch32), where LSL Rd, Rn, #32 results in Rd == 0x0, whilst on arch/arm64 (AArch64) LSL Xd, Xn, #64 results in Xd == Xn. Rather than check explicitly for the problematic shift, this patch adds an extra shift by 1, replacing fls with __fls. Since zero_bytemask is never called with a zero argument (has_zero() is used to check the data first), we don't need to worry about calling __fls(0), which is undefined.

mm: use paravirt friendly ops for NUMA hinting ptes

2014-04-18T23:40:09Z

David Vrabel identified a regression when using automatic NUMA balancing under Xen whereby page table entries were getting corrupted due to the use of native PTE operations. Quoting him Xen PV guest page tables require that their entries use machine addresses if the preset bit (_PAGE_PRESENT) is set, and (for successful migration) non-present PTEs must use pseudo-physical addresses. This is because on migration MFNs in present PTEs are translated to PFNs (canonicalised) so they may be translated back to the new MFN in the destination domain (uncanonicalised). pte_mknonnuma(), pmd_mknonnuma(), pte_mknuma() and pmd_mknuma() set and clear the _PAGE_PRESENT bit using pte_set_flags(), pte_clear_flags(), etc. In a Xen PV guest, these functions must translate MFNs to PFNs when clearing _PAGE_PRESENT and translate PFNs to MFNs when setting _PAGE_PRESENT. His suggested fix converted p[te|md]_[set|clear]_flags to using paravirt-friendly ops but this is overkill. He suggested an alternative of using p[te|md]_modify in the NUMA page table operations but this is does more work than necessary and would require looking up a VMA for protections. This patch modifies the NUMA page table operations to use paravirt friendly operations to set/clear the flags of interest. Unfortunately this will take a performance hit when updating the PTEs on CONFIG_PARAVIRT but I do not see a way around it that does not break Xen.

mm: create generic early_ioremap() support

2014-04-07T23:36:15Z

This patch creates a generic implementation of early_ioremap() support based on the existing x86 implementation. early_ioremp() is useful for early boot code which needs to temporarily map I/O or memory regions before normal mapping functions such as ioremap() are available. Some architectures have optional MMU. In the no-MMU case, the remap functions simply return the passed in physical address and the unmap functions do nothing.
