UAPI: The tile arch uses the generic ucontext.h file

2012-10-17T11:31:16+00:00

Move the header-y and generic-y lines for ucontext.h from
arch/tile/include/asm/Kbuild to the uapi/ Kbuild as the asm-generic variant is
used.

mm: hugetlb: add arch hook for clearing page flags before entering pool

2012-10-09T07:22:24+00:00

The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
pages via free_pages_check.  A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
userspace.

This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
pool.

This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
is freed into the pool.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This has three changes for asm-generic that did not really fit into
  any other branch as normal asm-generic changes do.  One is a fix for a
  build warning, the other two are more interesting:

   * A patch from Mark Brown to allow using the common clock
     infrastructure on all architectures, so we can use the clock API in
     architecture independent device drivers.

   * The UAPI split patches from David Howells for the asm-generic
     files.  There are other architecture specific series that are going
     through the arch maintainer tree and that depend on this one.

  There may be a few small merge conflicts between Mark's patch and the
  following arch header file split patches.  In each case the solution
  will be to keep the new "generic-y += clkdev.h" line, even if it ends
  up being the only line in the Kbuild file."

2012-10-06T22:55:10+00:00

Pull UAPI disintegration fixes from David Howells:
 "There are three main parts:

 (1) I found I needed some more fixups in the wake of testing Arm64
     (some asm/unistd.h files had weird guards that caused problems -
     mostly in arches for which I don't have a compiler) and some
     __KERNEL__ splitting needed to take place in Arm64.

 (2) I found that c6x was missing some __KERNEL__ guards in its
     asm/signal.h.  Mark Salter pointed me at a tree with a patch to
     remove that file entirely and use the asm-generic variant instead.

 (3) Lastly, m68k turned out to have a header installation problem due
     to it lacking a kvm_para.h file.

     The conditional installation bits for linux/kvm_para.h, linux/kvm.h
     and linux/a.out.h weren't very well specified - and didn't work if
     an arch didn't have the asm/ version of that file, but there *was*
     an asm-generic/ version.

     It seems the "ifneq $((wildcard ...),)" for each of those three
     headers in include/kernel/Kbuild is invoked twice during header
     installation, and the second time it matches on the just installed
     asm-generic/kvm_para.h file and thus incorrectly installs
     linux/kvm_para.h as well.

     Most arches actually have an asm/kvm_para.h, so this wasn't
     detectable in those."

* 'uapi-prep' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers:
  UAPI: Fix conditional header installation handling (notably kvm_para.h on m68k)
  c6x: remove c6x signal.h
  UAPI: Split compound conditionals containing __KERNEL__ in Arm64
  UAPI: Fix the guards on various asm/unistd.h files
  c6x: make dsk6455 the default config

compat: move compat_siginfo_t definition to asm/compat.h

2012-10-05T18:05:16+00:00

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.

Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
which have it.  Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
linux/compat.h.

Most of the copies are verbatim.  compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
__compat_uid[32]_t.  compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
had it moved up).  compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
to asm/compat.h.

tile: fix personality bits handling upon exec()

2012-10-05T18:04:47+00:00

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for
things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.

We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().

This patch fixes tile architecture not to forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec().

In addition to that, we fix two other things along the way:

- exec_domain switching is fixed -- set_personality() should always
  be used instead of directly assigning to current->personality.
- as pointed out by Arnd Bergmann, PER_LINUX_32BIT is not used anywhere
  by tile, so let's just drop that in favor of PER_LINUX
