32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.
setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.
v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

This patch makes sure to sync the pipeline for the root stage only
from the outer interrupt level, when resuming kernel code after an
interrupt.
This fixes a bug causing EVT15 to be spuriously popped off upon nested
interrupts, which in turn would cause the preempted kernel code to
resume without supervisor privileges.

Flushing caches sometimes requires anomaly workarounds which require

Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.
Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.
This takes into account comments made by:
. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.
. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.
If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
one) it has received so far.
. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
in the next call.
This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

The majority of the time we are returning to user space, it is not in the

The handling of updating the [DI]MEM_CONTROL MMRs does not follow proper
sync procedures as laid out in the Blackfin programming manual. So rather
than audit/fix every call location, create helper functions that do the
right things in order to safely update these MMRs. Then convert all call
sites to use these new helper functions.
While we're fixing the code, drop the workaround for anomaly 05000125 as
that anomaly applies to old versions of silicon that we do not support.

Since the hardware only provides reporting for the last exception handled,
and the values are valid only when executing the exception handler, we
need to save the context for reporting at a later point. While we do this
for one exception, it doesn't work properly when handling a second one as
the original exception is clobbered by the double fault. So when double
fault debugging is enabled, create a dedicated shadow of these values and
save/restore out of there. Now the crash report properly displays the
first exception as well as the second one.

The purpose of the EVT14 handler may depend on whether CONFIG_IPIPE is
enabled, albeit its implementation can be the same in both cases. When
the interrupt pipeline is enabled, EVT14 can be used to raise the core
priority level for the running code; when CONFIG_IPIPE is off, EVT14
can be used to lower this level before running softirq handlers.
Rename evt14_softirq to evt_evt14 to pick an identifier that fits
both, which allows to reuse the same vector setup code as well.

We handle many exceptions at EVT5 (hardware error level) so that we can
catch exceptions in our exception handling code. Today - if the global
interrupt enable bit (IPEND[4]) is set (interrupts disabled) our trap
handling code goes into a infinite loop, since we need interrupts to be
on to defer things to EVT5.
Normal kernel code should not trigger this for any reason as IPEND[4] gets
cleared early (when doing an interrupt context save) and the kernel stack
there should be sane (or something much worse is happening in the system).
But there have been a few times where this has happened, so this change
makes sure we dump a proper crash message even when things have gone south.

Hardware errors on the Blackfin architecture are queued by nature of the
hardware design. Things that could generate a hardware level queue up at
the system interface and might not process until much later, at which
point the system would send a notification back to the core.
As such, it is possible for user space code to do something that would
trigger a hardware error, but have it delay long enough for the process
context to switch. So when the hardware error does signal, we mistakenly
evaluate it as a different process or as kernel context and panic (erp!).
This makes it pretty difficult to find the offending context. But wait,
there is good news somewhere.
By forcing a SSYNC in the interrupt entry, we force all pending queues at
the system level to be processed and all hardware errors to be signaled.
Then we check the current interrupt state to see if the hardware error is
now signaled. If so, we re-queue the current interrupt and return thus
allowing the higher priority hardware error interrupt to process properly.
Since we haven't done any other context processing yet, the right context
will be selected and killed. There is still the possibility that the
exact offending instruction will be unknown, but at least we'll have a
much better idea of where to look.
The downside of course is that this causes system-wide syncs at every
interrupt point which results in significant performance degradation.
Since this situation should not occur in any properly configured system
(as hardware errors are triggered by things like bad pointers), make it a
debug configuration option and disable it by default.

This is a mixture ofcMichael McTernan's patch and the existing cplb-mpu code.
We ditch the old cplb-nompu implementation, which is a good example of
why a good algorithm in a HLL is preferrable to a bad algorithm written in
assembly. Rather than try to construct a table of all posible CPLBs and
search it, we just create a (smaller) table of memory regions and
their attributes. Some of the data structures are now unified for both
the mpu and nompu cases. A lot of needless complexity in cplbinit.c is
removed.
Further optimizations:
* compile cplbmgr.c with a lot of -ffixed-reg options, and omit saving
these registers on the stack when entering a CPLB exception.
* lose cli/nop/nop/sti sequences for some workarounds - these don't
* make
sense in an exception context
Additional code unification should be possible after this.
[Mike Frysinger <vapier.adi@gmail.com>:
- convert CPP if statements to C if statements
- remove redundant statements
- use a do...while loop rather than a for loop to get slightly better
optimization and to avoid gcc "may be used uninitialized" warnings ...
we know that the [id]cplb_nr_bounds variables will never be 0, so this
is OK
- the no-mpu code was the last user of MAX_MEM_SIZE and with that rewritten,
we can punt it
- add some BUG_ON() checks to make sure we dont overflow the small
cplb_bounds array
- add i/d cplb entries for the bootrom because there is functions/data in
there we want to access
- we do not need a NULL trailing entry as any time we access the bounds
arrays, we use the nr_bounds variable
