Kirill A. Shutemov 57c1ffcefb mm: rename USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS to USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS
We're going to introduce split page table lock for PMD level.  Let's
rename existing split ptlock for PTE level to avoid confusion.

Michel Lespinasse 6b2dbba8b6 mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree
Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree.  The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA.  So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.

Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

Paul Gortmaker d91ef63bd5 arm: remove several unnecessary module.h include instances
Building these files does not reveal a hidden need for
any of these.  Since module.h brings in the whole kitchen
sink, it just needlessly adds 30k+ lines to the cpp burden.

There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-*
don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build.  They will have
to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

Mika Westerberg 4e54d93d3c ARM: 6464/2: fix spinlock recursion in adjust_pte()
When running following code in a machine which has VIVT caches and
USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is not defined:

  fd = open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY);
  addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
  addr2 = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

  v = *((int *)addr);

we will hang in spinlock recursion in the page fault handler:

  BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, mmap_test/717

which is already locked before update_mmu_cache() is called.

Catalin Marinas 6012191aa9 ARM: 6380/1: Introduce __sync_icache_dcache() for VIPT caches
On SMP systems, there is a small chance of a PTE becoming visible to a
different CPU before the current cache maintenance operations in
update_mmu_cache(). To avoid this, cache maintenance must be handled in
set_pte_at() (similar to IA-64 and PowerPC).

This patch provides a unified VIPT cache handling mechanism and
implements the __sync_icache_dcache() function for ARMv6 onwards
architectures. It is called from set_pte_at() and replaces the
update_mmu_cache(). The latter is still used on VIVT hardware where a
vm_area_struct is required.

There are places in Linux where writes to newly allocated page cache
pages happen without a subsequent call to flush_dcache_page() (several

The patch also sets the PG_arch_1 bit in the DMA cache maintenance
function to avoid additional cache flushing in update_mmu_cache().

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Russell King 4b3073e1c5 MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself
On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.

This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().

Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():

  On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
  to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
  more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
  pte_t?

Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:

  Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
  -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
  for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
  _PAGE_EXEC.

So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

Russell King 56dd47098a ARM: make_coherent: fix problems with highpte, part 1
update_mmu_cache() is called with a page table already mapped.  We
call make_coherent(), which then calls adjust_pte() which wants to
map other page tables.  This causes kmap_atomic() to BUG() because
the slot its trying to use is already taken.

Since do_adjust_pte() modifies the page tables, we are also missing
any form of locking, so we're risking corrupting the page tables.

Fix this by using pte_offset_map_nested(), and taking the pte page
table lock around do_adjust_pte().

Nitin Gupta 787b2faadc ARM: force dcache flush if dcache_dirty bit set
On ARM, update_mmu_cache() does dcache flush for a page only if
it has a kernel mapping (page_mapping(page) != NULL). The correct
behavior would be to force the flush based on dcache_dirty bit only.

One of the cases where present logic would be a problem is when
a RAM based block device[1] is used as a swap disk. In this case,
we would have in-memory data corruption as shown in steps below:

do_swap_page()
{
    - Allocate a new page (if not already in swap cache)
    - Issue read from swap disk
        - Block driver issues flush_dcache_page()
        - flush_dcache_page() simply sets PG_dcache_dirty bit and does not
          actually issue a flush since this page has no user space mapping yet.
    - Now, if swap disk is almost full, this newly read page is removed
      from swap cache and corrsponding swap slot is freed.
    - Map this page anonymously in user space.
    - update_mmu_cache()
        - Since this page does not have kernel mapping (its not in page/swap
          cache and is mapped anonymously), it does not issue dcache flush
          even if dcache_dirty bit is set by flush_dcache_page() above.

    <user now gets stale data since dcache was never flushed>
}

Same problem exists on mips too.

 - ramzswap (RAM based compressed swap device)

Nicolas Pitre 08e445bd6a [ARM] 5366/1: fix shared memory coherency with VIVT L1 + L2 caches
When there are multiple L1-aliasing userland mappings of the same physical
page, we currently remap each of them uncached, to prevent VIVT cache
aliasing issues. (E.g. writes to one of the mappings not being immediately
visible via another mapping.)  However, when we do this remapping, there
could still be stale data in the L2 cache, and an uncached mapping might
bypass L2 and go straight to RAM.  This would cause reads from such
mappings to see old data (until the dirty L2 line is eventually evicted.)

This issue is solved by forcing a L2 cache flush whenever the shared page
is made L1 uncacheable.

Ideally, we would make L1 uncacheable and L2 cacheable as L2 is PIPT. But
Feroceon does not support that combination, and the TEX=5 C=0 B=0 encoding
for XSc3 doesn't appear to work in practice.

structure is 160 bytes in size, and here we're near the top of the kernel
stack).  Or would the overhead be noticeable?

arm_syscall's cmpxchg emulation use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of
pte_offset_map and mm-wide page_table_lock; and strictly, it should now also
take mmap_sem before descending to pmd, to guard against another thread
munmapping, and the page table pulled out beneath this thread.

Updated two comments in fault-armv.c.  adjust_pte is interesting, since its
modification of a pte in one part of the mm depends on the lock held when
calling update_mmu_cache for a pte in some other part of that mm.  This can't
be done with a split page_table_lock (and we've already taken the lowest lock
in the hierarchy here): so we'll have to disable split on arm, unless
CONFIG_CPU_CACHE_VIPT to ensures adjust_pte never used.

Russell King 8830f04a09 [PATCH] ARM: Fix delayed dcache flush for ARMv6 non-aliasing caches
flush_dcache_page() did nothing for these caches, but since they
suffer from I/D cache coherency issues, we need to ensure that data
is written back to RAM.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
