x86/prctl: Remove pointless task argument

2022-05-13T10:56:28+00:00

The functions invoked via do_arch_prctl_common() can only operate on
the current task and none of these function uses the task argument.

x86/fpu: Move context switch and exit to user inlines into sched.h

2021-10-20T13:27:27+00:00

internal.h is a kitchen sink which needs to get out of the way to prepare
for the upcoming changes.

Move the context switch and exit to user inlines into a separate header,
which is all that code needs.

x86/dumpstack: Add log_lvl to __show_regs()

2020-07-22T21:56:53+00:00

show_trace_log_lvl() provides x86 platform-specific way to unwind
backtrace with a given log level. Unfortunately, registers dump(s) are
not printed with the same log level - instead, KERN_DEFAULT is always
used.

Arista's switches uses quite common setup with rsyslog, where only
urgent messages goes to console (console_log_level=KERN_ERR), everything
else goes into /var/log/ as the console baud-rate often is indecently
slow (9600 bps).

Backtrace dumps without registers printed have proven to be as useful as
morning standups. Furthermore, in order to introduce KERN_UNSUPPRESSED
(which I believe is still the most elegant way to fix raciness of sysrq[1])
the log level should be passed down the stack to register dumping
functions. Besides, there is a potential use-case for printing traces
with KERN_DEBUG level [2] (where registers dump shouldn't appear with
higher log level).

Add log_lvl parameter to __show_regs().
Keep the used log level intact to separate visible change.

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

x86/resctrl: Rename asm/resctrl_sched.h to asm/resctrl.h

2020-05-06T15:45:22+00:00

asm/resctrl_sched.h is dedicated to the code used for configuration
of the CPU resource control state when a task is scheduled.

Rename resctrl_sched.h to resctrl.h in preparation of additions that
will no longer make this file dedicated to work done during scheduling.

No functional change.

x86: Remove force_iret()

2020-01-08T18:40:51+00:00

force_iret() was originally intended to prevent the return to user mode with
the SYSRET or SYSEXIT instructions, in cases where the register state could
have been changed to be incompatible with those instructions.  The entry code
has been significantly reworked since then, and register state is validated
before SYSRET or SYSEXIT are used.  force_iret() no longer serves its original
purpose and can be eliminated.
