arch: remove tile port

2018-03-16T09:56:03+00:00

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer uses the Tile architecture. There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future. Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add event for memory unmaps

2017-02-25T01:46:55+00:00

When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped. Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely changes in the virtual memory layout. Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate userfault file descriptors. The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

tile/elf: reorganize notify_exec()

2015-04-17T16:58:31+00:00

In the future mm->exe_file will be done without mmap_sem serialization, thus isolate and reorganize the tile elf code to make the transition easier. Good users will, make use of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference counting to make sure that the exe file won't dissappear underneath us. The visible effects of this patch are: o We now take and drop the mmap_sem more often. Instead of just in arch_setup_additional_pages(), we also do it in: 1) get_mm_exe_file() 2) to get the mm->vm_file and notify the simulator. [Note that 1) will disappear once we change the locking rules for exe_file.] o We avoid getting a free page and doing d_path() while holding the mmap_sem. This requires reordering the checks.

tile: implement gettimeofday() via vDSO

2013-08-13T20:26:21+00:00

This change creates the framework for vDSO calls, makes the existing rt_sigreturn() mechanism use it, and adds a fast gettimeofday(). Now that we need to expose the vDSO address to userspace, we add AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to the set of aux entries provided to userspace. (You can disable any extra vDSO support by booting with vdso=0, but the rt_sigreturn vDSO page will still be provided.) Note that glibc has supported the tile vDSO since release 2.17.

tile: support simulator notification for ET_DYN objects

2013-08-13T20:26:17+00:00

The tile code notifies the simulator of new ET_EXEC objects starting to execute so that tracing code can properly annotate the objects. However, we didn't support ET_DYN executables like ld.so, so we didn't properly load symbols, etc. This change enables that support; we use a variant of the SIM_CONTROL_DLOPEN simulator notification that newer simulators will recognize and use to set the base address for the next SIM_CONTROL_OS_EXEC notification.

mm: remove flags argument to mmap_region

2013-02-24T01:50:11+00:00

After the MAP_POPULATE handling has been moved to mmap_region() call sites, the only remaining use of the flags argument is to pass the MAP_NORESERVE flag. This can be just as easily handled by do_mmap_pgoff(), so do that and remove the mmap_region() flags parameter.

mm: use mm->exe_file instead of first VM_EXECUTABLE vma->vm_file

2012-10-09T07:22:18+00:00

Some security modules and oprofile still uses VM_EXECUTABLE for retrieving a task's executable file. After this patch they will use mm->exe_file directly. mm->exe_file is protected with mm->mmap_sem, so locking stays the same.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells: "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion dependencies. I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis." Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it.. * tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system: (38 commits) Delete all instances of asm/system.h Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h Add #includes needed to permit the removal of asm/system.h Move all declarations of free_initmem() to linux/mm.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for OpenRISC Split arch_align_stack() out from asm-generic/system.h Split the switch_to() wrapper out of asm-generic/system.h Move the asm-generic/system.h xchg() implementation to asm-generic/cmpxchg.h Create asm-generic/barrier.h Make asm-generic/cmpxchg.h #include asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for Xtensa Disintegrate asm/system.h for Unicore32 [based on ver #3, changed by gxt] Disintegrate asm/system.h for Tile Disintegrate asm/system.h for Sparc Disintegrate asm/system.h for SH Disintegrate asm/system.h for Score Disintegrate asm/system.h for S390 Disintegrate asm/system.h for PowerPC Disintegrate asm/system.h for PA-RISC Disintegrate asm/system.h for MN10300 ...
