mm: clean up per architecture MM hook header files

2015-07-17T23:39:53+00:00

Commit 2ae416b142b6 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture
asm/include/Kbuild file.

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

mm/hugetlb: remove arch_prepare/release_hugepage from arch headers

2015-06-26T00:00:35+00:00

Nobody used these hooks so they were removed from common code, and can now
be removed from the architectures.

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions of
hugetlb_prefault_arch_hook.  In all architectures this function is empty.

mm: new mm hook framework

2015-06-25T00:49:41+00:00

CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu).  This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.

However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the
vDSO base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the
vDSO sigreturn service.  So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference
is no more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.

This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook framework, and a new
arch_remap hook which is called when mremap is done and the mm lock still
hold.  The next patch is adding the vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the
powerpc architecture.

This patch (of 3):

This patch introduces a new set of header file to manage mm hooks:
- per architecture empty header file (arch/x/include/asm/mm-arch-hooks.h)
- a generic header (include/linux/mm-arch-hooks.h)

The architecture which need to overwrite a hook as to redefine it in its
header file, while architecture which doesn't need have nothing to do.

The default hooks are defined in the generic header and are used in the
case the architecture is not defining it.

In a next step, mm hooks defined in include/asm-generic/mm_hooks.h should
be moved here.

metag: use for_each_sg()

2015-06-25T00:49:38+00:00

This replaces the plain loop over the sglist array with for_each_sg()
macro which consists of sg_next() function calls.  Since metag doesn't
select ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, it is not necessary to use for_each_sg() in
order to loop over each sg element.  But this can help find problems
with drivers that do not properly initialize their sg tables when
CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is enabled.

arch/*/io.h: Add ioremap_wt() to all architectures

2015-06-07T13:28:57+00:00

Add ioremap_wt() to all arch-specific asm/io.h headers which
define ioremap_wc() locally. These headers do not include
. Some of them include ,
but ioremap_wt() is defined for consistency since they define
all ioremap_xxx locally.

In all architectures without Write-Through support, ioremap_wt()
is defined indentical to ioremap_nocache().

frv and m68k already have ioremap_writethrough(). On those we
add ioremap_wt() indetical to ioremap_writethrough() and defines
ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WT in both architectures.

The ioremap_wt() interface is exported to drivers.
