syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:26:43+00:00

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the
function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly
written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for
the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at
all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only
0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle
different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6
arguments of a system call.

This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace,
ftrace and perf.

KVM: export and iif KVM is supported

2019-03-28T16:27:42+00:00

I do not see any consistency about headers_install of 
and .

According to my analysis of Linux 5.1-rc1, there are 3 groups:

 [1] Both  and  are exported

    alpha, arm, hexagon, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86

 [2]  is exported, but  is not

    arc, arm64, c6x, h8300, ia64, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc,
    parisc, sh, unicore32, xtensa

 [3] Neither  nor  is exported

    csky, nds32, riscv

This does not match to the actual KVM support. At least, [2] is
half-baked.

Nor do arch maintainers look like they care about this. For example,
commit 0add53713b1c ("microblaze: Add missing kvm_para.h to Kbuild")
exported  to user-space in order to fix an in-kernel
build error.

We have two ways to make this consistent:

 [A] export both  and  for all
     architectures, irrespective of the KVM support

 [B] Match the header export of  and 
     to the KVM support

My first attempt was [A] because the code looks cleaner, but Paolo
suggested [B].

So, this commit goes with [B].

For most architectures,  was moved to the kernel-space.
I changed include/uapi/linux/Kbuild so that it checks generated
asm/kvm_para.h as well as check-in ones.

After this commit, there will be two groups:

 [1] Both  and  are exported

    arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, x86

 [2] Neither  nor  is exported

    alpha, arc, c6x, csky, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m68k, microblaze,
    nds32, nios2, openrisc, parisc, riscv, sh, sparc, unicore32, xtensa

arch: unexport asm/shmparam.h for all architectures

2019-02-01T23:46:22+00:00

Most architectures do not export shmparam.h to user-space.

  $ find arch -name shmparam.h  | sort
  arch/alpha/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/arc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/arm64/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/arm/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/csky/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/ia64/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/mips/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/nds32/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/nios2/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/parisc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/s390/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/sh/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/sparc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/x86/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/xtensa/include/asm/shmparam.h

Strangely, some users of the asm-generic wrapper export shmparam.h

  $ git grep 'generic-y += shmparam.h'
  arch/c6x/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/h8300/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/hexagon/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/m68k/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/microblaze/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/openrisc/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/riscv/include/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/unicore32/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h

The newly added riscv correctly creates the asm-generic wrapper
in the kernel space, but the others (c6x, h8300, hexagon, m68k,
microblaze, openrisc, unicore32) create the one in the uapi directory.

Digging into the git history, now I guess fcc8487d477a ("uapi:
export all headers under uapi directories") was the misconversion.
Prior to that commit, no architecture exported to shmparam.h
As its commit description said, that commit exported shmparam.h
for c6x, h8300, hexagon, m68k, openrisc, unicore32.

83f0124ad81e ("microblaze: remove asm-generic wrapper headers")
accidentally exported shmparam.h for microblaze.

This commit unexports shmparam.h for those architectures.

There is no more reason to export include/uapi/asm-generic/shmparam.h,
so it has been moved to include/asm-generic/shmparam.h

mm: treewide: remove unused address argument from pte_alloc functions

2019-01-04T21:13:47+00:00

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

fls: change parameter to unsigned int

2019-01-04T21:13:46+00:00

When testing in userspace, UBSAN pointed out that shifting into the sign
bit is undefined behaviour.  It doesn't really make sense to ask for the
highest set bit of a negative value, so just turn the argument type into
an unsigned int.

Some architectures (eg ppc) already had it declared as an unsigned int,
so I don't expect too many problems.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57+00:00

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

treewide: remove current_text_addr

2018-10-31T15:54:12+00:00

Prefer _THIS_IP_ defined in linux/kernel.h.

Most definitions of current_text_addr were the same as _THIS_IP_, but
a few archs had inline assembly instead.

This patch removes the final call site of current_text_addr, making all
of the definitions dead code.

hexagon: modify ffs() and fls() to return int

2018-09-11T00:42:15+00:00

Building drivers/mtd/nand/raw/nandsim.c on arch/hexagon/ produces a
printk format build warning.  This is due to hexagon's ffs() being
coded as returning long instead of int.

Fix the printk format warning by changing all of hexagon's ffs() and
fls() functions to return int instead of long.  The variables that
they return are already int instead of long.  This return type
matches the return type in .

../drivers/mtd/nand/raw/nandsim.c: In function 'init_nandsim':
../drivers/mtd/nand/raw/nandsim.c:760:2: warning: format '%u' expects argument of type 'unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'long int' [-Wformat]

There are no ffs() or fls() allmodconfig build errors after making this
change.
