xtensa: don't use alternate signal stack on threads

2013-10-15T20:39:16+00:00

According to create_thread(3): "The new thread does not inherit the creating
thread's alternate signal stack". Since commit f9a3879a (Fix sigaltstack
corruption among cloned threads), current->sas_ss_size is set to 0 for cloned
processes sharing VM with their parent. Don't use the (nonexistent) alternate
signal stack in this case. This has been broken since commit 29c4dfd9 ([XTENSA]
Remove non-rt signal handling).

Fixes the SA_ONSTACK part of the nptl/tst-cancel20 test from uClibc.

xtensa: fix fast_syscall_spill_registers_fixup

2013-10-15T20:39:06+00:00

fast_syscall_spill_registers_fixup was not correctly updated by the
'keep a3 and excsave1 on entry to exception handlers' patch: it doesn't
preserve a3 that it gets on entry, breaking _spill_registers in case of
page fault on stack during register spilling, leading to unhandled
exception in kernel mode.

Preserve a3 by saving it in the original _spill_registers stack frame's
a3 during exception handling and restoring it afterwards.

Also fix comments and function bounds annotations.

Remove GENERIC_HARDIRQ config option

2013-09-13T13:09:52+00:00

After the last architecture switched to generic hard irqs the config
options HAVE_GENERIC_HARDIRQS & GENERIC_HARDIRQS and the related code
for !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS can be removed.

arch: mm: pass userspace fault flag to generic fault handler

2013-09-12T22:38:01+00:00

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.

Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

xtensa: Fix broken allmodconfig build

2013-09-06T16:50:56+00:00

xtansa allmodbuild fails with:

arch/xtensa/kernel/xtensa_ksyms.c:129:1: error: '_mcount' undeclared here (not in a function)
make[2]: *** [arch/xtensa/kernel/xtensa_ksyms.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/xtensa/kernel] Error 2

The breakage is due to commit 478ba61af (xtensa: add static function tracer
support) which exports _mcount without declaring it.

Commits 925f5532 (xtensa: ccount based clockevent implementation) and e3f43291
(xtensa: ccount based sched_clock) introduced users of ccount_freq. This
variable doesn't exist when CONFIG_XTENSA_CALIBRATE_CCOUNT is disabled. Add
ccount_freq definition in this case.

xtensa: don't use echo -e needlessly

2013-09-06T16:48:29+00:00

-e is not needed to output strings without escape sequences. This breaks
big endian FSF build when the shell is dash, because its builtin echo
doesn't understand '-e' switch and outputs it in the echoed string.
