arch: make execmem setup available regardless of CONFIG_MODULES

2024-05-14T07:31:44+00:00

execmem does not depend on modules, on the contrary modules use
execmem.

To make execmem available when CONFIG_MODULES=n, for instance for
kprobes, split execmem_params initialization out from
arch/*/kernel/module.c and compile it when CONFIG_EXECMEM=y

mm/execmem, arch: convert simple overrides of module_alloc to execmem

2024-05-14T07:31:43+00:00

Several architectures override module_alloc() only to define address
range for code allocations different than VMALLOC address space.

Provide a generic implementation in execmem that uses the parameters for
address space ranges, required alignment and page protections provided
by architectures.

The architectures must fill execmem_info structure and implement
execmem_arch_setup() that returns a pointer to that structure. This way the
execmem initialization won't be called from every architecture, but rather
from a central place, namely a core_initcall() in execmem.

The execmem provides execmem_alloc() API that wraps __vmalloc_node_range()
with the parameters defined by the architectures.  If an architecture does
not implement execmem_arch_setup(), execmem_alloc() will fall back to
module_alloc().

nios2: define virtual address space for modules

2024-05-14T07:31:43+00:00

nios2 uses kmalloc() to implement module_alloc() because CALL26/PCREL26
cannot reach all of vmalloc address space.

Define module space as 32MiB below the kernel base and switch nios2 to
use vmalloc for module allocations.

mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included

2020-06-09T16:39:13+00:00

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes  to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include 
in the files that include .

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include ") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include / d' $f
	done

module: remove mod arg from module_free, rename module_memfree().

2015-01-20T01:08:33+00:00

Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.

This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
which ftrace and bpf use.
