sh64: failing __get_user() should zero

2016-09-29T09:14:29+00:00

commit c6852389228df9fb3067f94f3b651de2a7921b36 upstream.

It could be done in exception-handling bits in __get_user_b() et.al.,
but the surgery involved would take more knowledge of sh64 details
than I have or _want_ to have.

arch: Clean up asm/barrier.h implementations using asm-generic/barrier.h

2015-10-28T15:37:39+00:00

commit 93ea02bb84354370e51de803a9405f171f3edf88 upstream.

We're going to be adding a few new barrier primitives, and in order to
avoid endless duplication make more agressive use of
asm-generic/barrier.h.

Change the asm-generic/barrier.h such that it allows partial barrier
definitions and fills out the rest with defaults.

There are a few architectures (m32r, m68k) that could probably
do away with their barrier.h file entirely but are kept for now due to
their unconventional nop() implementation.

nosave: consolidate __nosave_{begin,end} in

2015-05-04T09:49:04+00:00

commit 7f8998c7aef3ac9c5f3f2943e083dfa6302e90d0 upstream.

The different architectures used their own (and different) declarations:

    extern __visible const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;
    extern const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;
    extern long __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;

Consolidate them using the first variant in .

Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases

2013-08-16T15:52:46+00:00

Ben Tebulin reported:

 "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git
  repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory
  failures.  This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be
  reproduced stably on two independent laptops.  Git mailing list ran
  out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"

and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm:
limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").

That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
happened when running out of memory.

The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
buggered.  It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather:
enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB
range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
was not complete.

The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
functions that actually flush the TLB.  And so any such case that forgot
to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.

Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.

This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler.  And the end
result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.

Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics
  guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem.

  Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a
  similar type can be done in an arbitrary order.  The deadlock handling
  used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older
  tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock.  The younger
  tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently
  holding, ie the younger task is wounded.

  See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes:

     https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/

  The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which
  have already been implemented for the DRM tree).

  Also see Documentation/ww-mutex-design.txt for more details"

arch: Make __mutex_fastpath_lock_retval return whether fastpath succeeded or not

2013-06-26T10:10:55+00:00

This will allow me to call functions that have multiple
arguments if fastpath fails. This is required to support ticket
mutexes, because they need to be able to pass an extra argument
to the fail function.

Originally I duplicated the functions, by adding
__mutex_fastpath_lock_retval_arg. This ended up being just a
duplication of the existing function, so a way to test if
fastpath was called ended up being better.

This also cleaned up the reservation mutex patch some by being
able to call an atomic_set instead of atomic_xchg, and making it
easier to detect if the wrong unlock function was previously
used.
