MIPS: vpe: Remove vpe_getcwd

2021-01-27T20:49:16+00:00

I couldn't find any user of the dubious vpe_getcwd so far. So remove it and
get rid of another set_fs(KERNEL_DS).

MIPS: VPE: Fix a double free and a memory leak in 'release_vpe()'

2020-02-15T20:44:03+00:00

Pointer on the memory allocated by 'alloc_progmem()' is stored in
'v->load_addr'. So this is this memory that should be freed by
'release_progmem()'.

'release_progmem()' is only a call to 'kfree()'.

With the current code, there is both a double free and a memory leak.
Fix it by passing the correct pointer to 'release_progmem()'.

mm: remove include/linux/bootmem.h

2018-10-31T15:54:16+00:00

Move remaining definitions and declarations from include/linux/bootmem.h
into include/linux/memblock.h and remove the redundant header.

The includes were replaced with the semantic patch below and then
semi-automated removal of duplicated '#include

module: use a structure to encapsulate layout.

2015-12-04T21:46:25+00:00

Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is
fairly invasive across random architectures.

It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the
core data together in the same cachline (now iff the rbtree code is
enabled).

MIPS: MT: Remove "weak" from vpe_run() declaration

2015-08-26T13:23:40+00:00

Weak header file declarations are error-prone because they make every
definition weak, and the linker chooses one based on link order (see
10629d711ed7 ("PCI: Remove __weak annotation from pcibios_get_phb_of_node
decl")).

That's not a problem for vpe_run() because Kconfig ensures there's never
more than one definition:

  - vpe_run() is defined in arch/mips/kernel/vpe-mt.c if
    CONFIG_MIPS_VPE_LOADER_MT=y

  - vpe_run() is defined in arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-amon.c if
    CONFIG_MIPS_CMP=y

  - CONFIG_MIPS_VPE_LOADER_MT cannot be set if CONFIG_MIPS_CMP=y

But it's simpler to verify correctness if we remove "weak" from the picture
and test the config symbols directly.

Remove "weak" from the vpe_run() declaration and use #if to test whether a
definition should be present.

MIPS: VPE: Exit vpe_release() early if vpe_run() isn't defined

2015-08-26T13:23:39+00:00

vpe_run() is a weak symbol.  If there's no definition of it, its value is
zero.

If vpe_run is zero, return failure early.  We're going to fail anyway, so
there's no point in getting a VPE and attempting to load it.

Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus

2014-01-31T01:20:32+00:00

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "The most notable new addition inside this pull request is the support
  for MIPS's latest and greatest core called "inter/proAptiv".  The
  patch series describes this core as follows.

    "The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
     for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
     a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
     computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
     contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
     coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
     and optional floating point unit."

  The platform specific patches touch all 3 Broadcom families.  It adds
  support for the new Broadcom/Netlogix XLP9xx Soc, building a common
  BCM63XX SMP kernel for all BCM63XX SoCs regardless of core type/count
  and full gpio button/led descriptions for BCM47xx.

  The rest of the series are cleanups and bug fixes that are MIPS
  generic and consist largely of changes that Imgtec/MIPS had published
  in their linux-mti-3.10.git stable tree.  Random other cleanups and
  patches preparing code to be merged in 3.15"

When examining the code to see what v->uid and v->gid were used for I
discovered that the only users in the kernel are vpe_getuid and
vpe_getgid, and that vpe_getuid and vpe_getgid are never called.

So instead of proposing a conversion to use kuid_t and kgid_t instead
of unsigned int/int as I normally would let's just kill this dead code
so no one has to worry about it further.

This is a good catch. vpe_get[u|g]id was originally used by KSPD which
has been removed.
