arch/tile: avoid generating .eh_frame information in modules

2012-10-28T17:14:12Z

commit 627072b06c362bbe7dc256f618aaa63351f0cfe6 upstream. The tile tool chain uses the .eh_frame information for backtracing. The vmlinux build drops any .eh_frame sections at link time, but when present in kernel modules, it causes a module load failure due to the presence of unsupported pc-relative relocations. When compiling to use compiler feedback support, the compiler by default omits .eh_frame information, so we don't see this problem. But when not using feedback, we need to explicitly suppress the .eh_frame. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tile: fix bug where fls(0) was not returning 0

2012-06-01T07:18:27Z

commit 9f1d62bed7f015d11b9164078b7fea433b474114 upstream. This is because __builtin_clz(0) returns 64 for the "undefined" case of 0, since the builtin just does a right-shift 32 and "clz" instruction. So, use the alpha approach of casting to u32 and using __builtin_clzll(). Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tilegx: enable SYSCALL_WRAPPERS support

2012-05-18T17:33:24Z

Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules for 32-bit values. The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid" mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code. SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem. On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed in 2.6.28.6. The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029. Cc: Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

arch/tile: apply commit 74fca9da0 to the compat signal handling as well

2012-05-16T20:01:45Z

This passes siginfo and mcontext to tilegx32 signal handlers that don't have SA_SIGINFO set just as we have been doing for tilegx64. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

arch/tile: fix up some issues in calling do_work_pending()

2012-05-16T20:01:16Z

First, we were at risk of handling thread-info flags, in particular do_signal(), when returning from kernel space. This could happen after a failed kernel_execve(), or when forking a kernel thread. The fix is to test in do_work_pending() for user_mode() and return immediately if so; we already had this test for one of the flags, so I just hoisted it to the top of the function. Second, if a ptraced process updated the callee-saved registers in the ptregs struct and then processed another thread-info flag, we would overwrite the modifications with the original callee-saved registers. To fix this, we add a register to note if we've already saved the registers once, and skip doing it on additional passes through the loop. To avoid a performance hit from the couple of extra instructions involved, I modified the GET_THREAD_INFO() macro to be guaranteed to be one instruction, then bundled it with adjacent instructions, yielding an overall net savings.

arch/tile: fix a couple of functions that should be __init

2012-04-25T16:45:26Z

They were marked __devinit by mistake, causing some warnings at link time. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function

2012-04-21T00:29:13Z

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap(): vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the required VM locking. This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function. Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken) use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

arch/tile: avoid unused variable warning in proc.c for tilegx

2012-04-11T16:45:20Z

Until we push the unaligned access support for tilegx, it's silly to have arch/tile/kernel/proc.c generate a warning about an unused variable. Extend the #ifdef to cover all the code and data for now. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

tile/CPU hotplug: Add missing call to notify_cpu_starting()

2012-04-09T18:02:23Z

The scheduler depends on receiving the CPU_STARTING notification, without which we end up into a lot of trouble. So add the missing call to notify_cpu_starting() in the bringup code. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

Merge branch 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile

2012-04-07T00:56:20Z

Pull arch/tile bug fixes from Chris Metcalf: "This includes Paul Gortmaker's change to fix the disintegration issues on tile, a fix to unbreak the tilepro ethernet driver, and a backlog of bugfix-only changes from internal Tilera development over the last few months. They have all been to LKML and on linux-next for the last few days. The EDAC change to MAINTAINERS is an oddity but discussion on the linux-edac list suggested I ask you to pull that change through my tree since they don't have a tree to pull edac changes from at the moment." * 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: (39 commits) drivers/net/ethernet/tile: fix netdev_alloc_skb() bombing MAINTAINERS: update EDAC information tilepro ethernet driver: fix a few minor issues tile-srom.c driver: minor code cleanup edac: say "TILEGx" not "TILEPro" for the tilegx edac driver arch/tile: avoid accidentally unmasking NMI-type interrupt accidentally arch/tile: remove bogus performance optimization arch/tile: return SIGBUS for addresses that are unaligned AND invalid arch/tile: fix finv_buffer_remote() for tilegx arch/tile: use atomic exchange in arch_write_unlock() arch/tile: stop mentioning the "kvm" subdirectory arch/tile: export the page_home() function. arch/tile: fix pointer cast in cacheflush.c arch/tile: fix single-stepping over swint1 instructions on tilegx arch/tile: implement panic_smp_self_stop() arch/tile: add "nop" after "nap" to help GX idle power draw arch/tile: use proper memparse() for "maxmem" options arch/tile: fix up locking in pgtable.c slightly arch/tile: don't leak kernel memory when we unload modules arch/tile: fix bug in delay_backoff() ...
