jump_label: mips: move module NOP patching into arch code

2022-06-24T07:48:55+00:00

MIPS is the only remaining architecture that needs to patch jump label
NOP encodings to initialize them at load time. So let's move the module
patching part of that from generic code into arch/mips, and drop it from
the others.

MIPS: module: optimize module relocations processing

2021-01-18T14:55:16+00:00

For now, module relocation functions are implemented as an array
of handlers of type reloc_handler_t.

Convert that array into a single switch-case function to:
 - remove unused arguments;
 - change the return type of simple handlers to void;
 - remove the array and don't use any data at all;
 - avoid using indirect calls;
 - allow the compiler to inline and greatly optimize
   the relocation function[s].

The result on MIPS32 R2 with GCC 10.2 -O2 is:

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

If we hit an error whilst processing a reloc then we would return early
from apply_relocate & potentially not free entries in r_mips_hi16_list,
thereby leaking memory. Fix this by ensuring that we always run the code

MIPS: Migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h

2016-10-04T14:13:57+00:00

These files were only including module.h for exception table
related functions.  We've now separated that content out into its
own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the
extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile
these files.

In the case of traps.c we can't dump the module.h include since it is
also used to provide "print_modules".

MIPS: module: fix incorrect IS_ERR_VALUE macro usages

2016-05-13T12:02:11+00:00

IS_ERR_VALUE macro should be used only with unsigned long type.
Specifically it works incorrectly with longer types.

The patch follows conclusion from discussion on LKML [1][2].

[1]: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2120927
[2]: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2150581

[ralf@linux-mips.org: While it may not immediately be obvious, the type
of st_value in the end is an unsigned long equivalent so the invocation
of IS_ERR_VALUE() was valid but I'm applying the patch anyway for
clarity.]
