treewide: Use fallthrough pseudo-keyword

2020-08-23T22:36:59+00:00

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

all arch: remove system call sys_sysctl

2020-08-15T02:56:56+00:00

Since commit 61a47c1ad3a4dc ("sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call"),
sys_sysctl is actually unavailable: any input can only return an error.

We have been warning about people using the sysctl system call for years
and believe there are no more users.  Even if there are users of this
interface if they have not complained or fixed their code by now they
probably are not going to, so there is no point in warning them any
longer.

So completely remove sys_sysctl on all architectures.

mm: remove unneeded includes of

2020-08-07T18:33:26+00:00

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of "

Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table.  These patches add
generic versions of these functions in  and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.

In addition, functions declared and defined in  headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the  included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of


In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to  would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.

This patch (of 8):

In most cases  header is required only for allocations of
page table memory.  Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in  and do not require that header.

As for the other header files that used to include , it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from  and drop the include from the header file.

The process was somewhat automated using

	sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
                $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
                        $(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))

where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

Merge tag 'close-range-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

2020-08-04T22:12:02+00:00

Pull close_range() implementation from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the close_range() syscall. It allows to efficiently close a
  range of file descriptors up to all file descriptors of a calling
  task.

  This is coordinated with the FreeBSD folks which have copied our
  version of this syscall and in the meantime have already merged it in
  April 2019:

    https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21627
    https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=359836

  The syscall originally came up in a discussion around the new mount
  API and making new file descriptor types cloexec by default. During
  this discussion, Al suggested the close_range() syscall.

  First, it helps to close all file descriptors of an exec()ing task.
  This can be done safely via (quoting Al's example from [1] verbatim):

        /* that exec is sensitive */
        unshare(CLONE_FILES);
        /* we don't want anything past stderr here */
        close_range(3, ~0U);
        execve(....);

  The code snippet above is one way of working around the problem that
  file descriptors are not cloexec by default. This is aggravated by the
  fact that we can't just switch them over without massively regressing
  userspace. For a whole class of programs having an in-kernel method of
  closing all file descriptors is very helpful (e.g. demons, service
  managers, programming language standard libraries, container managers
  etc.).

  Second, it allows userspace to avoid implementing closing all file
  descriptors by parsing through /proc//fd/* and calling close() on
  each file descriptor and other hacks. From looking at various
  large(ish) userspace code bases this or similar patterns are very
  common in service managers, container runtimes, and programming
  language runtimes/standard libraries such as Python or Rust.

  In addition, the syscall will also work for tasks that do not have
  procfs mounted and on kernels that do not have procfs support compiled
  in. In such situations the only way to make sure that all file
  descriptors are closed is to call close() on each file descriptor up
  to UINT_MAX or RLIMIT_NOFILE, OPEN_MAX trickery.

  Based on Linus' suggestion close_range() also comes with a new flag
  CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE to more elegantly handle file descriptor dropping
  right before exec. This would usually be expressed in the sequence:

        unshare(CLONE_FILES);
        close_range(3, ~0U);

  as pointed out by Linus it might be desirable to have this be a part
  of close_range() itself under a new flag CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE which
  gets especially handy when we're closing all file descriptors above a
  certain threshold.

  Test-suite as always included"

arch: rename copy_thread_tls() back to copy_thread()

2020-07-04T21:41:37+00:00

Now that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS has been removed, rename copy_thread_tls()
back simply copy_thread(). It's a simpler name, and doesn't imply that only
tls is copied here. This finishes an outstanding chunk of internal process
creation work since we've added clone3().

microblaze: switch to copy_thread_tls()

Use the copy_thread_tls() calling convention which passes tls through a

and remove the HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro.

mm: pgtable: add shortcuts for accessing kernel PMD and PTE

The powerpc 32-bit implementation of pgtable has nice shortcuts for
accessing kernel PMD and PTE for a given virtual address.  Make these
helpers available for all architectures.
