sh: Fix up legacy PTEA space attribute mapping.

2011-02-17T22:47:06+00:00

commit efb3e34b6176d30c4fe8635fa8e1beb6280cc2cd upstream.

When p3_ioremap() was converted to ioremap_prot() there was some breakage
introduced where the 29-bit segmentation logic would trap the area range
and return an identity mapping without having allowed the area
specification to force mapping through page tables. This wires up a PCC
mask for pgprot verification to work out whether to short-circuit the
identity mapping on legacy parts, restoring the previous behaviour.

SH: Add missing consts to sys_execve() declaration

2010-12-09T21:32:25+00:00

commit d8b5fc01683c66060edc202d6bb5635365822181 upstream.

Add missing consts to the sys_execve() declaration which result in the
following error:

arch/sh/kernel/process_32.c:303: error: conflicting types for 'sys_execve'
/warthog/nfs/linux-2.6-fscache/arch/sh/include/asm/syscalls_32.h:24: error: previous declaration of 'sys_execve' was here

modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race

2010-10-05T18:29:27+00:00

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.

Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.

So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.

Future fixups:
 - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
   belongs.
 - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
   (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
   for other reasons.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer

2010-08-18T01:07:43+00:00

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:

arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.

Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

Mark arguments to certain syscalls as being const

2010-08-13T23:53:13+00:00

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
aren't.  The list includes:

 (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
     syscalls and some mount syscalls.

 (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.

 (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.

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.
