sanitize tsk_is_polling()

2012-10-01T13:58:13+00:00

Make default just return 0.  The current default (checking
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it;
ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need
to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all.

ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling())
and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all).  Killed the latter...

alpha: unbreak osf_setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, [SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS])

2011-08-25T23:25:33+00:00

The bug was accidentally found by the following program:

    #include 
    #include 
    #include 
    static int setsysinfo(unsigned long op, void *buffer, unsigned long size,
                          int *start, void *arg, unsigned long flag) {
        return syscall(__NR_osf_setsysinfo, op, buffer, size, start, arg, flag);
    }

    int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        short x[10];
        unsigned int buf[2] = { SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS, };
        setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, buf, 1, 0, 0, 0);

        int  *y = (int*) (x+1);
        *y = 0;
        return 0;
    }

The program shoud fail on SIGBUS, but didn't.

The patch is a second part of userspace flag fix (commit 745dd2405e28
"Alpha: Rearrange thread info flags fixing two regressions").

Deleted outdated out-of-sync 'UAC_SHIFT' (the cause of bug) in favour of
'ALPHA_UAC_SHIFT'.

Alpha: Rearrange thread info flags fixing two regressions

2009-12-01T03:44:40+00:00

The removal of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit a583f1b54249b
"remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag," resulted in incorrect
setting of the unaligned access control flags by the prctl syscall.

The re-addition of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit d0420c83f39f
"KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6]"
further caused problems, namely incorrect operands to assembler code
as evidenced by:

AS      arch/alpha/kernel/entry.o
arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S:326: Warning: operand out of range
(0x0000000000000406 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and
0x00000000000000ff)

Both regressions fixed by (1) rearranging TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag to be
in lower 8 bits of the thread info flags, and (2) making sure that
ALPHA_UAC_SHIFT matches the rearrangement of the thread info flags.

    alpha: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros.

    Note that .data.page_aligned and .data.cacheline_aligned are now after
    _data; it was probably a bug that they were before it.

    Also, some explicit ALIGN(8)'s between various initcall sections were
    removed; this should be harmless as the implicit alignment of
    initcall_t was already 8.

KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6]

2009-09-02T11:29:19+00:00

Implement TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for most of those architectures in which isn't yet
available, and, whilst we're at it, have it call the appropriate tracehook.

After this patch, blackfin, m68k* and xtensa still lack support and need
alteration of assembly code to make it work.

Resume notification can then be used (by a later patch) to install a new
session keyring on the parent of a process.

sched: INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT

2009-07-10T21:24:05+00:00

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.

Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.

The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.
