arch: setup PF_IO_WORKER threads like PF_KTHREAD

2023-01-04T10:39:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4727dc20e0422211a0e0c72b1ace4ed6096df8a6 ]

PF_IO_WORKER are kernel threads too, but they aren't PF_KTHREAD in the
sense that we don't assign ->set_child_tid with our own structure. Just
ensure that every arch sets up the PF_IO_WORKER threads like kthreads
in the arch implementation of copy_thread().

sched/idle: Fix arch_cpu_idle() vs tracing

2020-11-24T15:47:35+00:00

We call arch_cpu_idle() with RCU disabled, but then use
local_irq_{en,dis}able(), which invokes tracing, which relies on RCU.

Switch all arch_cpu_idle() implementations to use
raw_local_irq_{en,dis}able() and carefully manage the
lockdep,rcu,tracing state like we do in entry.

(XXX: we really should change arch_cpu_idle() to not return with
interrupts enabled)

Pull regset conversion fix from Al Viro:
 "Fix a regression from an unnoticed bisect hazard in the regset series.

  A bunch of old (aout, originally) primitives used by coredumps became
  dead code after fdpic conversion to regsets. Removal of that dead code
  had been the first commit in the followups to regset series;
  unfortunately, it happened to hide the bisect hazard on sh (extern for
  fpregs_get() had not been updated in the main series when it should
  have been; followup simply made fpregs_get() static). And without that
  followup commit this bisect hazard became breakage in the mainline"

mm: remove unneeded includes of

2020-08-07T18:33:26+00:00

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of "

Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table.  These patches add
generic versions of these functions in  and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.

In addition, functions declared and defined in  headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the  included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of


In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to  would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.

This patch (of 8):

In most cases  header is required only for allocations of
page table memory.  Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in  and do not require that header.

As for the other header files that used to include , it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from  and drop the include from the header file.

The process was somewhat automated using

	sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
                $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
                        $(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))

where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

kill unused dump_fpu() instances

2020-07-27T18:33:10+00:00

dump_fpu() is used only on the architectures that support elf
and have neither CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET nor ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS
defined.

Currently that's csky, m68k, microblaze, nds32 and unicore32.  The rest
of the instances are dead code.

NB: THIS MUST GO AFTER ELF_FDPIC CONVERSION

arch: rename copy_thread_tls() back to copy_thread()

2020-07-04T21:41:37+00:00

Now that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS has been removed, rename copy_thread_tls()
back simply copy_thread(). It's a simpler name, and doesn't imply that only
tls is copied here. This finishes an outstanding chunk of internal process
creation work since we've added clone3().

sparc: unconditionally enable HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS

2020-06-23T08:49:56+00:00

Now that both sparc and sparc64 support copy_thread_tls() and don't rely
on do_fork() anymore, turn on HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS unconditionally. Once
all architectures are switched over this macro will be removed and
the old do_fork() calling convention fully abandoned in favor of the
cleaner struct kernel_clone_args one.

sparc: share process creation helpers between sparc and sparc64

2020-06-23T08:49:56+00:00

As promised in the previous patch, this moves the process creation
helpers into a common process.c file that is shared between sparc and
sparc64. It allows us to get rid of quite a bit custom assembler and the
to remove the separe 32bit specific sparc_do_fork() call.

One thing to note, is that when clone() was called with a separate stack
for the child the assembler would align it. But copy_thread() has always
been doing that too so that line wasn't needed and can thus simply be
removed.

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
