2009-10-11headers: remove sched.h from interrupt.hAlexey Dobriyan
After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current, it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k! Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

2009-09-20arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0Sam Ravnborg
Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported: Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them. This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds. This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile, or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh) Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script. This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where it is used. Notes for the different architectures touched: arm - we use an already exported symbol cris - we use a config symbol aleady available [Not build tested] mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it. Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by the linker script. [Not build tested] powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed [not build tested] sparc - simplified it using $(BITS) um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this xtensa - added options to CPP invocation [not build tested] Cc: Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Mikael Starvik <starvik@axis.com> Cc: Jesper Nilsson <jesper.nilsson@axis.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: "David S.

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.

This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz flags to handle_mm_fault().

2009-03-12UML on UML fixed: it did not startRenzo Davoli
It is currently impossible to run a user-mode linux machine inside another user-mode linux (UML on UML). It breaks after a few instructions. When it tries to check whether SYSEMU is installed (the inner) UML receives an inconsistent result (from the outer UML). This is the output of a broken attempt: $ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow Locating the bottom of the address space ... 0x0 Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000 Core dump limits : soft - 0 hard - NONE Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK Checking ptrace new tags for syscall emulation...unsupported Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...check_sysemu : expected SIGTRAP, got status = 256 $ The problem is the following: PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um. PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch, therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in kernel/ptrace). This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes the problem.

2009-01-06mm: invoke oom-killer from page faultNick Piggin
Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer. With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups, oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling, panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting process at page fault time. Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call into instead. Only converted x86 and uml so far.

Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere. 3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky so I just manipulate them both in sync. 4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map' declarations.

Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs. Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map. The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers. Tested on x86-64. All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got it right.

2008-07-18nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loopThomas Gleixner
Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing problem in the NOHZ code: scheduler switch to idle task enable interrupts Window starts here ----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED) irq_exit() stops the tick ----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED) return from schedule() cpu_idle(): preempt_disable(); Window ends here The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick disabled. The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric. Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure that we can not run into such a situation ever again. cpu_idle() { preempt_disable(); while(1) { tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we are in the idle loop while (!need_resched()) halt(); tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode preempt_enable_no_resched(); schedule(); preempt_disable(); } } In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... /me grabs a large brown paperbag.

2008-06-06uml: deal with inaccessible address space startTom Spink
This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space, as well as the top. This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap addresses. It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a valid page is found. Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the address space. The size is the difference between the top address and bottom address. [jdike@addtoit.com: changed the name to reflect that this function is supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and changed the return value to reflect that. Also some minor formatting changes] Signed-off-by: Tom Spink <tspink@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-05-13uml: physical memory shouldn't include initial stackJeff Dike
The top of physical memory should be below the initial process stack, not the top of the address space, at least for as long as the stack isn't known to the kernel VM system and appropriately reserved.

This patch includes page.h header into linker scripts that allow us to use PAGE_SIZE macro instead of numeric constant.

2008-05-13uml: fix bad NTP interaction with clockJeff Dike
UML's supposed nanosecond clock interacts badly with NTP when NTP decides that the clock has drifted ahead and needs to be slowed down. Slowing down the clock is done by decrementing the cycle-to-nanosecond multiplier, which is 1. Decrementing that gives you 0 and time is stopped. This is fixed by switching to a microsecond clock, with a multiplier of 1000.

2008-05-13uml: fix build when SLOB is enabledJeff Dike
Reintroduce uml_kmalloc for the benefit of UML libc code. The previous tactic of declaring __kmalloc so it could be called directly from the libc side of the house turned out to be getting too intimate with slab, and it doesn't work with slob. So, the uml_kmalloc wrapper is back. It calls kmalloc or whatever that translates into, and libc code calls it. kfree is left alone since that still works, leaving a somewhat inconsistent API.

2008-05-03unified (weak) sys_pipe implementationUlrich Drepper
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>
