2009-09-24alpha: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros.Geoffrey Thomas
Note that .data.page_aligned and .data.cacheline_aligned are now after _data; it was probably a bug that they were before it. Also, some explicit ALIGN(8)'s between various initcall sections were removed; this should be harmless as the implicit alignment of initcall_t was already 8.

2009-09-24alpha: use .data.init_task instead of .data.init_thread.Tim Abbott
alpha is the only architecture that uses the section name .data.init_thread instead of .data.init_task. So convert alpha to use .data.init_task like everything else. .data.init_task does not need a separate output section; this change also moves it into the .data output section.

Converts alpha to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset() infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to maintain. I suspect the alpha arch could even be further improved to provide and rpcc() based clocksource, but not having the hardware, I don't feel comfortable attempting the more complicated conversion (but I'd be glad to help if anyone else is interested).

2009-09-02KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]David Howells
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent. This replaces the parent's session keyring. Because the COW credential code does not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again. Normally this will be after a wait*() syscall. To support this, three new security hooks have been provided: cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if the process may replace its parent's session keyring. The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it. Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path. This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. This allows the replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace execution. This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to alter the parent process's PAG membership. However, since kAFS doesn't use PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed the newpag flag. This can be tested with the following program: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <keyutils.h> #define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT 18 #define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0) int main(int argc, char **argv) { key_serial_t keyring, key; long ret; keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]); OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring"); key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring); OSERROR(key, "add_key"); ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT); OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT"); return 0; } Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like: [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses 355907932 --alswrv 4043 -1 \_ keyring: _uid.4043 [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses 1055658746 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: hello 340417692 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named 'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

2009-07-09linker script: unify usage of discard definitionTejun Heo
Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have considerable differences. This led to linker script for each arch implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining tedious and adding new entries error-prone. This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro. As ld uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script. ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion. defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64, alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390.

2009-06-16time: move PIT_TICK_RATE to linux/timex.hArnd Bergmann
PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three different places. While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency. Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL. This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve accuracy. There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed to 1193182. According to the specification, it should be 1193181.818181...

2009-05-02alpha: binfmt_aout fixIvan Kokshaysky
This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because aout binary handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must be done by binfmt_loader. Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just for overriding them.

2009-03-31proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

This closes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10893 which is a showstopper for X development on alpha. The generic HAVE_PCI_MMAP code (drivers/pci-sysfs.c) is not very useful since we have to deal with three different types of MMIO address spaces: sparse and dense mappings for old ev4/ev5 machines and "normal" 1:1 MMIO space (bwx) for ev56 and later. Also "write combine" mappings are meaningless on alpha - roughly speaking, alpha does write combining, IO reordering and other optimizations by default, unless user splits IO accesses with memory barriers. I think the cleanest way to deal with resource files on alpha is to convert the default no-op pci_create_resource_files() and pci_remove_resource_files() for !HAVE_PCI_MMAP case into __weak functions and override them with alpha specific ones. Another alpha hook is needed for "legacy_" resource files to handle sparse addressing (pci_adjust_legacy_attr). With the "standard" resourceN files on ev56/ev6 libpciaccess works "out of the box". Handling of resourceN_sparse/resourceN_dense files on older machines obviously requires some userland work. Sparse/dense stuff has been tested on sx164 (pca56/pyxis, normally uses bwx IO) with the kernel hacked into "cia compatible" mode.

Impact: use new API, fix SMP bug. Use the new accessors rather than frobbing bits directly. This also removes the bug introduced in ee0c468b (alpha: compile fixes) which had Alpha setting bits on an on-stack cpumask, not the cpu_online_map.

2009-01-15alpha: fix RTC on marvelIvan Kokshaysky
Unlike other alphas, marvel doesn't have real PC-style CMOS clock hardware - RTC accesses are emulated via PAL calls. Unfortunately, for unknown reason these calls work only on CPU #0. So current implementation for arbitrary CPU makes CMOS_READ/WRITE to be executed on CPU #0 via IPI. However, for obvious reason this doesn't work with standard get/set_rtc_time() functions, where a bunch of CMOS accesses is done with disabled interrupts. Solved by making the IPI calls for entire get/set_rtc_time() functions, not for individual CMOS accesses. Which is also a lot more effective performance-wise. The patch is largely based on the code from Jay Estabrook. My changes: - tweak asm-generic/rtc.h by adding a couple of #defines to avoid a massive code duplication in arch/alpha/include/asm/rtc.h; - sys_marvel.c: fix get/set_rtc_time() return values (Jay's FIXMEs). NOTE: this fixes *only* LIB_RTC drivers. Legacy (CONFIG_RTC) driver wont't work on marvel. Actually I think that we should just disable CONFIG_RTC on alpha (maybe in 2.6.30?), like most other arches - AFAIK, all modern distributions use LIB_RTC anyway.

2009-01-15alpha: nautilus - fix hang on bootIvan Kokshaysky
Recently introduced generic pci_common_swizzle() relies on bus->self being NULL for the root PCI bus. But on nautilus bus->self points to the host bridge device, which is necessary as we do a root bus sizing on this system. As a result, pci_common_swizzle() loops infinitely. This worked until 2.6.29-rc1 because the alpha-specific swizzle routine checked for bus->parent == NULL (instead of bus->self). Fixed by clearing bus->self after bus sizing is done.

2009-01-15alpha: nautilus - fix compile failure with gcc-4.3Ivan Kokshaysky
init_srm_irq() deals with irq's #16 and above, but size of irq_desc array on nautilus and some other system types is 16. So gcc-4.3 complains that "array subscript is above array bounds", even though this function is never called on those systems. This adds a check for NR_IRQS <= 16, which effectively optimizes init_srm_irq() code away on problematic platforms. Thanks to Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> for detailed analysis of the problem.
