parisc,metag: Do not hardcode maximum userspace stack size

2014-05-14T23:01:41+00:00

This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards
(currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum
initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable
via a config option.

The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two
memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the
memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense
to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used
as heap then.

This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and
uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few
years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

metag: Reduce maximum stack size to 256MB

2014-05-14T23:00:35+00:00

Specify the maximum stack size for arches where the stack grows upward
(parisc and metag) in asm/processor.h rather than hard coding in
fs/exec.c so that metag can specify a smaller value of 256MB rather than
1GB.

This fixes a BUG on metag if the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is increased
beyond a safe value by root. E.g. when starting a process after running
"ulimit -H -s unlimited" it will then attempt to use a stack size of the
maximum 1GB which is far too big for metag's limited user virtual
address space (stack_top is usually 0x3ffff000):

BUG: failure at fs/exec.c:589/shift_arg_pages()!

metag: fix memory barriers

2014-05-14T23:00:34+00:00

Volatile access doesn't really imply the compiler barrier. Volatile access
is only ordered with respect to other volatile accesses, it isn't ordered
with respect to general memory accesses. Gcc may reorder memory accesses
around volatile access, as we can see in this simple example (if we
compile it with optimization, both increments of *b will be collapsed to
just one):

void fn(volatile int *a, long *b)
{
	(*b)++;
	*a = 10;
	(*b)++;
}

Consequently, we need the compiler barrier after a write to the volatile
variable, to make sure that the compiler doesn't reorder the volatile
write with something else.

locking/mcs: Allow architecture specific asm files to be used for contended case

2014-02-09T20:18:52+00:00

This patch allows each architecture to add its specific assembly optimized
arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended and arch_mcs_spinlock_uncontended for
MCS lock and unlock functions.

locking/mcs: Order the header files in Kbuild of each architecture in alphabetical order

2014-02-09T20:17:50+00:00

We perform a clean up of the Kbuid files in each architecture.
We order the files in each Kbuild in alphabetical order
by running the below script.

for i in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild
do
        cat $i | gawk '/^generic-y/ {
                i = 3;
                do {
                        for (; i <= NF; i++) {
                                if ($i == "\\") {
                                        getline;
                                        i = 1;
                                        continue;
                                }
                                if ($i != "")
                                        hdr[$i] = $i;
                        }
                        break;
                } while (1);
                next;
        }
        // {

        }
        END {
                n = asort(hdr);
                for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
                        print "generic-y += " hdr[i];
        }' > ${i}.sorted;
        mv ${i}.sorted $i;

    hash, if provided.  From Tom Herbert.
