compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()

2010-09-14T23:08:45+00:00

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.

This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.

This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

arch/powerpc/include/asm/fsldma.h needs slab.h

2010-09-10T01:57:24+00:00

The slab.h header is required to use the kmalloc() family of functions.
Due to recent kernel changes, this header must be directly included by
code that calls into the memory allocator.

Without this patch, any code which includes this header fails to build.

powerpc: Inline ppc64_runlatch_off

2010-08-24T05:26:30+00:00

I'm sick of seeing ppc64_runlatch_off in our profiles, so inline it
into the callers. To avoid a mess of circular includes I didn't add
it as an inline function.

The code is wrapped in an #if 0, but it's wrong so we may as well fix it.

powerpc: Make rwsem use "long" type

2010-08-24T04:41:48+00:00

This makes the 64-bit kernel use 64-bit signed integers for the counter
(effectively supporting 32-bit of active count in the semaphore), thus
avoiding things like overflow of the mmap_sem if you use a really crazy
number of threads

Note: Ideally the type in the structure should be atomic_long_t rather
than "long". However, there's some nasty issues with that. It needs to
be initialized statically -and- lib/rwsem.c does things like

        sem->count = RWSEM_UNLOCKED_VALUE;

Now, if you mix in the fact that atomic_* types are actually structures
with one member and note typedefs of a scalar, it makes its really nasty.

So I stuck to what we did before using a long and casts for now.

dma-mapping: remove dma_is_consistent API

2010-08-11T15:59:21+00:00

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt).  So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers.  We have only one user of the API in tree.  Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.

Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all.  It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all.  It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.

Let's remove this API.

dma-mapping: unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations

2010-08-11T15:59:21+00:00

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN).  So we
can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment.  So
fully-coherent architectures should return 1.  This patch also fixes this
issue.

dma-mapping: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN

2010-08-11T15:59:21+00:00

Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others).  So
we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

This patch:

dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
alignment restriction).  However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
architectures doesn't define it.

Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub
(except for crypto).
