parisc: Implement new LWS CAS supporting 64 bit operations.

2014-09-13T20:40:48+00:00

The current LWS cas only works correctly for 32bit. The new LWS allows
for CAS operations of variable size.

parisc: Wire up seccomp, getrandom and memfd_create syscalls

2014-08-27T12:39:56+00:00

With secure computing we only support the SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT mode for
now.

Merge branch 'signal-cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/misc

2014-08-09T16:58:12+00:00

Pull arch signal handling cleanup from Richard Weinberger:
 "This patch series moves all remaining archs to the get_signal(),
  signal_setup_done() and sigsp() functions.

  Currently these archs use open coded variants of the said functions.
  Further, unused parameters get removed from get_signal_to_deliver(),
  tracehook_signal_handler() and signal_delivered().

  At the end of the day we save around 500 lines of code."

for signal delivery.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This pull request has a lot of work done.  The main thing is the
  changes to the ftrace function callback infrastructure.  It's
  introducing a way to allow different functions to call directly
  different trampolines instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.

  The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which
  always had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline
  was called and did basically nothing, and then the function graph
  tracer trampoline was called.  The difference now, is that the
  function graph tracer trampoline can be called directly if a function
  is only being traced by the function graph trampoline.  If function
  tracing is also happening on the same function, the old way is still
  done.

  The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph
  tracing is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it
  uses.  I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not
  ready yet for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next
  one.

  Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls
  that were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function
  tracing when entering into suspend and resume paths.  The stop of
  ftrace was done because there was some function that would crash the
  system if one called smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big
  hammer to solve the issue at the time, which was when ftrace was first
  introduced into Linux.  Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug
  such issues, and I found the problem function and labeled it with
  "notrace" and function tracing can now safely be activated all the way
  down into the guts of suspend and resume

  Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code, clean up of the
  trace_seq() code, and other various small fixes and clean ups to
  ftrace and tracing"

Nothing sets function_trace_stop to disable function tracing anymore.
Remove the check for it in the arch code.

parisc: ftrace: Add call to ftrace_graph_is_dead() in function graph code

2014-07-18T17:56:56+00:00

ftrace_stop() is going away as it disables parts of function tracing
that affects users that should not be affected. But ftrace_graph_stop()
is built on ftrace_stop(). Here's another example of killing all of
function tracing because something went wrong with function graph
tracing.

Instead of disabling all users of function tracing on function graph
error, disable only function graph tracing. To do this, the arch code
must call ftrace_graph_is_dead() before it implements function graph.

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
 "The major patch in here is one which fixes the fanotify_mark() syscall
  in the compat layer of the 64bit parisc kernel.  It went unnoticed so
  long, because the calling syntax when using a 64bit parameter in a
  32bit syscall is quite complex and even worse, it may be even
  different if you call syscall() or the glibc wrapper.  This patch
  makes the kernel accept the calling convention when called by the
  glibc wrapper.

  The other two patches are trivial and remove unused headers, #includes
  and adds the serial ports of the fastest C8000 workstation to the
  parisc-kernel internal hardware database"
