uaccess: reimplement probe_kernel_address() using probe_kernel_read()

2015-11-06T03:34:48Z

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added) probe_kernel_read(). The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address() returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns -EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared. probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs, although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside arch/. My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got tiresome. This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single probe_kernel_address() callsite. Cc: Steven Miao Cc: Jeff Dike Cc: Richard Weinberger Cc: "James E.J.

sched/preempt, mm/fault: Decouple preemption from the page fault logic

2015-05-19T06:39:18Z

As the fault handlers now all rely on the pagefault_disabled() checks and implicit preempt_disable() calls by pagefault_disable() have been made explicit, we can completely rely on the pagefault_disableD counter. So let's no longer touch the preempt count when disabling/enabling pagefaults. After a call to pagefault_disable(), pagefault_disabled() will return true, but in_atomic() won't.

mm/fault, arch: Use pagefault_disable() to check for disabled pagefaults in the handler

2015-05-19T06:39:15Z

Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers. Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly disabled). In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults. With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs. We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling might_sleep(). Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this is needed. faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files. This patch is based on a patch from Thomas Gleixner.

sched/preempt, mm/fault: Count pagefault_disable() levels in pagefault_disabled

2015-05-19T06:39:13Z

Until now, pagefault_disable()/pagefault_enabled() used the preempt count to track whether in an environment with pagefaults disabled (can be queried via in_atomic()). This patch introduces a separate counter in task_struct to count the level of pagefault_disable() calls. We'll keep manipulating the preempt count to retain compatibility to existing pagefault handlers. It is now possible to verify whether in a pagefault_disable() envionment by calling pagefault_disabled(). In contrast to in_atomic() it will not be influenced by preempt_enable()/preempt_disable(). This patch is based on a patch from Ingo Molnar.

Discourage drivers/modules to be creative with preemption. Sadly all is implemented in macros and inline so if they want to do evil they still can, but at least try and discourage some.

sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiers

2013-09-25T12:07:54Z

Rewrite the preempt_count macros in order to extract the 3 basic preempt_count value modifiers: __preempt_count_add() __preempt_count_sub() and the new: __preempt_count_dec_and_test() And since we're at it anyway, replace the unconventional $op_preempt_count names with the more conventional preempt_count_$op. Since these basic operators are equivalent to the previous _notrace() variants, do away with the _notrace() versions.

Some archs such as blackfin, would like to have an arch specific probe_kernel_read() and probe_kernel_write() implementation which can fall back to the generic implementation if no special operations are needed.
