vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-01-29T18:51:32+00:00

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

microblaze/PCI: Clip bridge windows to fit in upstream windows

2015-01-16T16:04:43+00:00

Every PCI-PCI bridge window should fit inside an upstream bridge window
because orphaned address space is unreachable from the primary side of the
upstream bridge.  If we inherit invalid bridge windows that overlap an
upstream window from firmware, clip them to fit and update the bridge
accordingly.

microblaze: Fix mmap for cache coherent memory

2014-12-17T11:59:59+00:00

When running in non-cache coherent configuration the memory that was
allocated with dma_alloc_coherent() has a custom mapping and so there is no
1-to-1 relationship between the kernel virtual address and the PFN. This
means that virt_to_pfn() will not work correctly for those addresses and the
default mmap implementation in the form of dma_common_mmap() will map some
random, but not the requested, memory area.

Fix this by providing a custom mmap implementation that looks up the PFN
from the page table rather than using virt_to_pfn.

gcov: enable GCOV_PROFILE_ALL from ARCH Kconfigs

2014-12-13T20:42:51+00:00

Following the suggestions from Andrew Morton and Stephen Rothwell,
Dont expand the ARCH list in kernel/gcov/Kconfig. Instead,
define a ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL bool which architectures
can enable.

set ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL on Architectures where it was
previously allowed + ARM64 which I tested.

Pull asm-generic asm/io.h rewrite from Arnd Bergmann:
 "While there normally is no reason to have a pull request for
  asm-generic but have all changes get merged through whichever tree
  needs them, I do have a series for 3.19.

  There are two sets of patches that change significant portions of
  asm/io.h, and this branch contains both in order to resolve the
  conflicts:

   - Will Deacon has done a set of patches to ensure that all
     architectures define {read,write}{b,w,l,q}_relaxed() functions or
     get them by including asm-generic/io.h.

     These functions are commonly used on ARM specific drivers to avoid
     expensive L2 cache synchronization implied by the normal
     {read,write}{b,w,l,q}, but we need to define them on all
     architectures in order to share the drivers across architectures
     and to enable CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST configurations for them

   - Thierry Reding has done an unrelated set of patches that extends
     the asm-generic/io.h file to the degree necessary to make it useful
     on ARM64 and potentially other architectures"

mmu_gather: move minimal range calculations into generic code

2014-11-17T10:12:42+00:00

On architectures with hardware broadcasting of TLB invalidation messages
, it makes sense to reduce the range of the mmu_gather structure when
unmapping page ranges based on the dirty address information passed to
tlb_remove_tlb_entry.

arm64 already does this by directly manipulating the start/end fields
of the gather structure, but this confuses the generic code which
does not expect these fields to change and can end up calculating
invalid, negative ranges when forcing a flush in zap_pte_range.

This patch moves the minimal range calculation out of the arm64 code
and into the generic implementation, simplifying zap_pte_range in the
process (which no longer needs to care about start/end, since they will
point to the appropriate ranges already). With the range being tracked
by core code, the need_flush flag is dropped in favour of checking that
the end of the range has actually been set.
