Linus Torvalds 4157368edb Merge branch 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile
Pull arch/tile bug fixes from Chris Metcalf:
 "This includes Paul Gortmaker's change to fix the <asm/system.h>
  disintegration issues on tile, a fix to unbreak the tilepro ethernet
  driver, and a backlog of bugfix-only changes from internal Tilera
  development over the last few months.

  They have all been to LKML and on linux-next for the last few days.
  The EDAC change to MAINTAINERS is an oddity but discussion on the
  linux-edac list suggested I ask you to pull that change through my
  tree since they don't have a tree to pull edac changes from at the
  moment."

Chris Metcalf e1d5c01950 arch/tile: avoid accidentally unmasking NMI-type interrupt accidentally
The return path as we reload registers and core state requires that r30
hold a boolean indicating whether we are returning from an NMI, but in a
couple of cases we weren't setting this properly, with the result that we
could accidentally unmask the NMI interrupt(s), which could cause confusion.
Now we set r30 in every place where we jump into the interrupt return path.

Chris Metcalf b1760c847f arch/tile: remove bogus performance optimization
We were re-homing the initial task's kernel stack on the boot cpu,
but in fact it's better to let it stay globally homed, since that
task isn't bound to the boot cpu anyway.  This is more of a general
cleanup than an actual performance optimization, but it removes
code, which is a good thing. :-)

Chris Metcalf cdd8e16feb arch/tile: return SIGBUS for addresses that are unaligned AND invalid
Previously we were returning SIGSEGV in this case.  It seems cleaner
to return SIGBUS since the hardware figures out alignment traps
before TLB violations, so SIGBUS is the "more correct" signal.

Chris Metcalf 54229ff359 arch/tile: fix finv_buffer_remote() for tilegx
There were some correctness issues with this code that are now fixed
with this change.  The change is likely less performant than it could
be, but it should no longer be vulnerable to any races with memory
operations on the memory network while invalidating a range of memory.
This code is run infrequently so performance isn't critical, but
correctness definitely is.

Chris Metcalf ab306cae66 arch/tile: use atomic exchange in arch_write_unlock()
This idiom is used elsewhere when we do an unlock by writing a zero,
but I missed it here.  Using an atomic operation avoids waiting

Chris Metcalf 2858f85602 arch/tile: fix single-stepping over swint1 instructions on tilegx
If we are single-stepping and make a syscall, we call ptrace_notify()
explicitly on the return path back to user space, since we are returning
to a pc value set artificially to the next instruction, and otherwise
we won't register that we stepped over the syscall instruction (swint1).

Chris Metcalf 719ea79e33 arch/tile: fix up locking in pgtable.c slightly
We should be holding the init_mm.page_table_lock in shatter_huge_page()
since we are modifying the kernel page tables.  Then, only if we are
walking the other root page tables to update them, do we want to take
the pgd_lock.

Add a comment about taking the pgd_lock that we always do it with
interrupts disabled and therefore are not at risk from the tlbflush
IPI deadlock as is seen on x86.

Chris Metcalf 5f639fdcd8 arch/tile: various bugs in stack backtracer
Fix a long-standing bug in the stack backtracer where we would print
garbage to the console instead of kernel function names, if the kernel
wasn't built with symbol support (e.g. mboot).

Make sure to tag every line of userspace backtrace output if we actually
have the mmap_sem, since that way if there's no tag, we know that it's
because we couldn't trylock the semaphore.

Stop doing a TLB flush and examining page tables during backtrace.
Instead, just trust that __copy_from_user_inatomic() will properly fault
and return a failure, which it should do in all cases.

Fix a latent bug where the backtracer would directly examine a signal
context in user space, rather than copying it safely to kernel memory
first.  This meant that a race with another thread could potentially
have caused a kernel panic.

Guard against unaligned sp when trying to restart backtrace at an
interrupt or signal handler point in the kernel backtracer.

Report kernel symbolic information for the call instruction rather
than for the following instruction.  We still report the actual numeric
address corresponding to the instruction after the call, for the sake
of consistency with the normal expectations for stack backtracers.

Gilad Ben-Yossef 3fc498f165 smp: introduce a generic on_each_cpu_mask() function
We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems
such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task:
cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter.
Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs
for various needs.  These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided
altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific
CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system.

This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic
Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying
to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls
are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group
of CPUs.  The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the
right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is
even worth dealing with at all.  Based on the feedback from this patch set
I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code
paths.

This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond()
infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific
versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI
invocation to per CPU group invocations.

Core kernel:

on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask,
which may or may not include the local processor.

You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.

arch/arm:

Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one:

1. It has the mask as first parameter
2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled,
   but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
   with interrupts disabled anyway.

arch/tile:

The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version
also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case

This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
with interrupts disabled.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

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..

Jason Baron 909af768e8 coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

Chris Metcalf 48b25c43e6 [PATCH v3] ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC syscalls
When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to
be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and
in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by
compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls.

However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC
syscalls do not do this.  semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth
argument, instead of the fourth argument itself.  msgsnd(), msgrcv()
and shmat() expect arguments in different order.

This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be
set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc,
s390, and mips).  No actual semantics are changed for those architectures,
and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c.

Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such
as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can
avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific
compat layer.  In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64
mode is assumed, since that's what the <asm-generic> headers expect.

The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed
with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were
not being properly handled.
