tile: use a more conservative __my_cpu_offset in CONFIG_PREEMPT

2013-10-13T22:42:50Z

commit f862eefec0b68e099a9fa58d3761ffb10bad97e1 upstream. It turns out the kernel relies on barrier() to force a reload of the percpu offset value. Since we can't easily modify the definition of barrier() to include "tp" as an output register, we instead provide a definition of __my_cpu_offset as extended assembly that includes a fake stack read to hazard against barrier(), forcing gcc to know that it must reread "tp" and recompute anything based on "tp" after a barrier. This fixes observed hangs in the slub allocator when we are looping on a percpu cmpxchg_double. A similar fix for ARMv7 was made in June in change 509eb76ebf97.

tilepro: work around module link error with gcc 4.7

2013-06-27T18:27:30Z

commit 3cb3f839d306443f3d1e79b0bde1a2ad2c12b555 upstream. gcc 4.7.x is emitting calls to __ffsdi2 where previously it used to inline the appropriate ctz instructions. While this needs to be fixed in gcc, it's also easy to avoid having it cause build failures when building with those compilers by exporting __ffsdi2 to modules.

tile: expect new initramfs name from hypervisor file system

2013-04-05T17:04:14Z

commit ff7f3efb9abf986f4ecd8793a9593f7ca4d6431a upstream. The current Tilera boot infrastructure now provides the initramfs to Linux as a Tilera-hypervisor file named "initramfs", rather than "initramfs.cpio.gz", as before. (This makes it reasonable to use other compression techniques than gzip on the file without having to worry about the name causing confusion.) Adapt to use the new name, but also fall back to checking for the old name. Cc'ing to stable so that older kernels will remain compatible with newer Tilera boot infrastructure.

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

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
