Alpha systems can suffer sporadic user-space crashes and heap
corruption when memory compaction is enabled.
Symptoms include SIGSEGV, glibc allocator failures (e.g. "unaligned
tcache chunk"), and compiler internal errors. The failures disappear
when compaction is disabled or when using global TLB invalidation.
The root cause is insufficient TLB shootdown during page migration.
Alpha relies on ASN-based MM context rollover for instruction cache
coherency, but this alone is not sufficient to prevent stale data or
instruction translations from surviving migration.
Fix this by introducing a migration-specific helper that combines:
- MM context invalidation (ASN rollover),
- immediate per-CPU TLB invalidation (TBI),
- synchronous cross-CPU shootdown when required.
The helper is used only by migration/compaction paths to avoid changing
global TLB semantics.
Additionally, update flush_tlb_other(), pte_clear(), to use
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for correct SMP memory ordering.
This fixes observed crashes on both UP and SMP Alpha systems.

A couple of architectures enable -Werror for their own files regardless of
CONFIG_WERROR but also have known warnings that fail the build with
-Wmissing-prototypes enabled by default:
arch/alpha/lib/memcpy.c:153:8: error: no previous prototype for 'memcpy' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c:96:1: error: no previous prototype for 'handle_irq' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/kernel/signal.c:673:17: error: no previous prototype for ‘sys_rt_sigreturn’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/kernel/signal.c:636:17: error: no previous prototype for ‘sys_sigreturn’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c:51:16: error: no previous prototype for ‘sysm_pipe’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/mm/fault.c:323:17: error: no previous prototype for ‘do_page_fault’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

arch/sparc/vdso/vdso32/../vclock_gettime.c:343:1: warning: no previous prototype for ‘__vdso_gettimeofday_stick’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:343:1: warning: no previous prototype for ‘__vdso_gettimeofday_stick’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]

arch/sparc/prom/misc_64.c:165:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘prom_get_mmu_ihandle’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
This appears to be an artifact from the times when this architecture code
was better maintained that most device drivers and before CONFIG_WERROR
was added. Now it just gets in the way, so remove all of these.
Powerpc and x86 both still have their own Kconfig options to enable
-Werror for some of their files. These architectures are better
maintained than most and the options are easy to disable, so leave those
untouched.

Patch series "Remove DISCONTIGMEM memory model", v3.
SPARSEMEM memory model was supposed to entirely replace DISCONTIGMEM a
(long) while ago. The last architectures that used DISCONTIGMEM were
updated to use other memory models in v5.11 and it is about the time to
entirely remove DISCONTIGMEM from the kernel.
This set removes DISCONTIGMEM from alpha, arc and m68k, simplifies memory
model selection in mm/Kconfig and replaces usage of redundant
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP with CONFIG_NUMA
and CONFIG_FLATMEM respectively.
I've also removed NUMA support on alpha that was BROKEN for more than 15
years.
There were also minor updates all over arch/ to remove mentions of
DISCONTIGMEM in comments and #ifdefs.
This patch (of 9):
NUMA is marked broken on alpha for more than 15 years and DISCONTIGMEM was
replaced with SPARSEMEM in v5.11.
Remove both NUMA and DISCONTIGMEM support from alpha.

Hi Richard.
I noticed you have set -Werror in all alpha architecture
specific makefiles - good initiative. I wish we could do that in general.
But the correct way to alter CFLAGS in kbuild makefiles is to use
EXTRA_CFLAGS.
The following patch fixes this.
You could argue that this is a stylistic issue, but in this way
you follow Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt
I stumbled over:
EXTRA_AFLAGS := $(CFLAGS)
I could not realise the purpose with this assignment, and I noticed
that it did not include -Werror, becuse you did hat assignment in
the following line.
Wanted to inform you about it but I see no problem. It is just that
I did not understand it.
In math-emu I see this:
EXTRA_CFLAGS := -Iinclude/math-emu -w
Grepping the src I see no reason to have the -Iinclude/math-emu
Relevant files are prefixed with math-emu (soft-fp, single, double)
I did not fix it, because I cannot compile alpha.

From Jeff.Wiedemeier@hp.com:
Add arch/alpha/mm/remap.c (__alpha_remap_area_pages).
|
|
Makefiles no longer need to include Rules.make, which is currently an
empty file. This patch removes it from the arch tree Makefiles.
