      x86/mm/pat: Add untrack_pfn_moved for mremap · d9fe4fab
      Toshi Kani authored 
      mremap() with MREMAP_FIXED on a VM_PFNMAP range causes the following
WARN_ON_ONCE() message in untrack_pfn().

MREMAP_FIXED moves a pfnmap from old vma to new vma.  untrack_pfn() is
called with the old vma after its pfnmap page table has been removed,
which causes follow_phys() to fail.  The new vma has a new pfnmap to
the same pfn & cache type with VM_PAT set.  Therefore, we only need to
clear VM_PAT from the old vma in this case.

Add untrack_pfn_moved(), which clears VM_PAT from a given old vma.
move_vma() is changed to call this function with the old vma when
VM_PFNMAP is set.  move_vma() then calls do_munmap(), and untrack_pfn()
is a no-op since VM_PAT is cleared.

      atomic: remove all traces of READ_ONCE_CTRL() and atomic*_read_ctrl() · 105ff3cb
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This seems to be a mis-reading of how alpha memory ordering works, and
is not backed up by the alpha architecture manual.  The helper functions
don't do anything special on any other architectures, and the arguments
that support them being safe on other architectures also argue that they
are safe on alpha.

Basically, the "control dependency" is between a previous read and a
subsequent write that is dependent on the value read.  Even if the
subsequent write is actually done speculatively, there is no way that
such a speculative write could be made visible to other cpu's until it
has been committed, which requires validating the speculation.

Note that most weakely ordered architectures (very much including alpha)
do not guarantee any ordering relationship between two loads that depend
on each other on a control dependency:

    read A
    if (val == 1)
        read B

because the conditional may be predicted, and the "read B" may be
speculatively moved up to before reading the value A.  So we require the
user to insert a smp_rmb() between the two accesses to be correct:

    read A;
    if (A == 1)
        smp_rmb()
        read B

Alpha is further special in that it can break that ordering even if the
*address* of B depends on the read of A, because the cacheline that is
read later may be stale unless you have a memory barrier in between the
pointer read and the read of the value behind a pointer:

    read ptr
    read offset(ptr)

whereas all other weakly ordered architectures guarantee that the data
dependency (as opposed to just a control dependency) will order the two
accesses.  As a result, alpha needs a "smp_read_barrier_depends()" in
between those two reads for them to be ordered.

The coontrol dependency that "READ_ONCE_CTRL()" and "atomic_read_ctrl()"
had was a control dependency to a subsequent *write*, however, and
nobody can finalize such a subsequent write without having actually done
the read.  And were you to write such a value to a "stale" cacheline
(the way the unordered reads came to be), that would seem to lose the
write entirely.

So the things that make alpha able to re-order reads even more
aggressively than other weak architectures do not seem to be relevant
for a subsequent write.  Alpha memory ordering may be strange, but
there's no real indication that it is *that* strange.

Also, the alpha architecture reference manual very explicitly talks
about the definition of "Dependence Constraints" in section 5.6.1.7,
where a preceding read dominates a subsequent write.

Such a dependence constraint admittedly does not impose a BEFORE (alpha
architecture term for globally visible ordering), but it does guarantee
that there can be no "causal loop".  I don't see how you could avoid
such a loop if another cpu could see the stored value and then impact
the value of the first read.  Put another way: the read and the write
could not be seen as being out of order wrt other cpus.

So I do not see how these "x_ctrl()" functions can currently be necessary.

I may have to eat my words at some point, but in the absense of clear
proof that alpha actually needs this, or indeed even an explanation of
how alpha could _possibly_ need it, I do not believe these functions are
called for.

And if it turns out that alpha really _does_ need a barrier for this
case, that barrier still should not be "smp_read_barrier_depends()".
We'd have to make up some new speciality barrier just for alpha, along
with the documentation for why it really is necessary.

      asm-generic: cmpxchg: avoid warnings from macro-ized cmpxchg() implementations · d975440b
      Marek Vasut authored 
      This change is similar to e001bbae
ARM: cmpxchg: avoid warnings from macro-ized cmpxchg() implementations

A recent change in kernel/acct.c added a new warning for many
configurations using generic __xchg() implementation:

In file included from ./arch/nios2/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:12:0,
                 from include/asm-generic/atomic.h:18,
                 from arch/nios2/include/generated/asm/atomic.h:1,
                 from include/linux/atomic.h:4,
                 from include/linux/spinlock.h:406,
                 from include/linux/mmzone.h:7,
                 from include/linux/gfp.h:5,
                 from include/linux/mm.h:9,
                 from kernel/acct.c:46:
kernel/acct.c: In function 'acct_pin_kill':
include/asm-generic/cmpxchg.h:94:3: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value]
  ((__typeof__(*(ptr)))__cmpxchg_local_generic((ptr), (unsigned long)(o),\
   ^
include/asm-generic/cmpxchg.h:102:28: note: in expansion of macro 'cmpxchg_local'

                            ^
kernel/acct.c:177:2: note: in expansion of macro 'cmpxchg'
  cmpxchg(&acct->ns->bacct, pin, NULL);
  ^

The code is in fact correct, it's just a cmpxchg() call that
intentionally ignores the result, and no other code does that.  The
warning does not show up on x86 because of the way that its cmpxchg()
macro is written. This changes the asm-ggeneric implementation to use
a similar construct with a compound expression instead of a typecast,
which causes the compiler to not complain about an unused result.

Fix the other macros in this file in a similar way, and place them
just below their function implementations.

      There are primitives to create and query the software dirty bits
in a pte or pmd. But the clearing of the software dirty bits is done
in common code with x86 specific page table functions.

Add the missing architecture primitives to clear the software dirty
bits to allow the feature to be used on non-x86 systems, e.g. the
s390 architecture.

One should spin on the variable with a load, not a RMW.

While there, remove 'queued' from the name, as the lock isn't queued

      dma-mapping: consolidate dma_set_mask · 452e06af
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time
that's hidden in ->set_dma_mask methods.

This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either
calls ->set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default
implementation.  Some architectures used to only call ->set_dma_mask
after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the
full work.  h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has
been fixed.

Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing
the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override
for now.

      dma-mapping: consolidate dma_supported · ee196371
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      Most architectures just call into ->dma_supported, but some also return 1
if the method is not present, or 0 if no dma ops are present (although
that should never happeb). Consolidate this more broad version into
common code.

Also fix h8300 which inorrectly always returned 0, which would have been
a problem if it's dma_set_mask implementation wasn't a similarly buggy
noop.

As a few architectures have much more elaborate implementations, we
still allow for arch overrides.

      dma-mapping: consolidate dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent · 1e893752
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      Most architectures do not support non-coherent allocations and either
define dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent to their coherent versions or stub
them out.

Openrisc uses dma_{alloc,free}_attrs to implement them, and only Mips
implements them directly.

This patch moves the Openrisc version to common code, and handles the
DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT case in the mips dma_map_ops instance.

Note that actual non-coherent allocations require a dma_cache_sync
implementation, so if non-coherent allocations didn't work on
an architecture before this patch they still won't work after it.

      dma-mapping: consolidate dma_{alloc,free}_{attrs,coherent} · 6894258e
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      Since 2009 we have a nice asm-generic header implementing lots of DMA API
functions for architectures using struct dma_map_ops, but unfortunately
it's still missing a lot of APIs that all architectures still have to
duplicate.

This series consolidates the remaining functions, although we still need
arch opt outs for two of them as a few architectures have very
non-standard implementations.

This patch (of 5):

The coherent DMA allocator works the same over all architectures supporting
dma_map operations.

This patch consolidates them and converges the minor differences:

 - the debug_dma helpers are now called from all architectures, including
   those that were previously missing them
 - dma_alloc_from_coherent and dma_release_from_coherent are now always
   called from the generic alloc/free routines instead of the ops
   dma-mapping-common.h always includes dma-coherent.h to get the defintions
   for them, or the stubs if the architecture doesn't support this feature
 - checks for ->alloc / ->free presence are removed.  There is only one
   magic instead of dma_map_ops without them (mic_dma_ops) and that one
   is x86 only anyway.

Besides that only x86 needs special treatment to replace a default devices
if none is passed and tweak the gfp_flags.  An optional arch hook is provided
for that.

      mm: add utility for early copy from unmapped ram · 6b0f68e3
      Mark Salter authored 
      When booting an arm64 kernel w/initrd using UEFI/grub, use of mem= will
likely cut off part or all of the initrd.  This leaves it outside the
kernel linear map which leads to failure when unpacking.  The x86 code
has a similar need to relocate an initrd outside of mapped memory in
some cases.

The current x86 code uses early_memremap() to copy the original initrd
from unmapped to mapped RAM.  This patchset creates a generic
copy_from_early_mem() utility based on that x86 code and has arm64 and
x86 share it in their respective initrd relocation code.

This patch (of 3):

In some early boot circumstances, it may be necessary to copy from RAM
outside the kernel linear mapping to mapped RAM.  The need to relocate
an initrd is one example in the x86 code.  This patch creates a helper
function based on current x86 code.

      PCI: Add pci_iomap_wc() variants · 1b3d4200
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored 
      PCI BARs tell us whether prefetching is safe, but they don't say
anything about write combining (WC). WC changes ordering rules
and allows writes to be collapsed, so it's not safe in general
to use it on a prefetchable region.

Add pci_iomap_wc() and pci_iomap_wc_range() so drivers can take
advantage of write combining when they know it's safe.

On architectures that don't fully support WC, e.g., x86 without
PAT, drivers for legacy framebuffers may get some of the benefit
by using arch_phys_wc_add() in addition to pci_iomap_wc().  But
arch_phys_wc_add() is unreliable and should be avoided in
general.  On x86, it uses MTRRs, which are limited in number and
size, so the results will vary based on driver loading order.

The goals of adding pci_iomap_wc() are to:

- Give drivers an architecture-independent way to use WC so they can stop
  using interfaces like mtrr_add() (on x86, pci_iomap_wc() uses
  PAT when available).

- Move toward using _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC, not _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC_MINUS,
  on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see de33c442 ("x86 PAT: fix
  performance drop for glx, use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache()
  and pci_mmap_page_range()").

      kbuild: Fix .text.unlikely placement · 9bebe9e5
      Andi Kleen authored 
      When building a kernel with .text.unlikely text the unlikely text for
each translation unit was put next to the main .text code in the
final vmlinux.

The problem is that the linker doesn't allow more specific submatches
of a section name in a different linker script statement after the
main match.

So we need to move them all into one line. With that change
.text.unlikely is at the end of everything again.

I also moved .text.hot into the same statement though, even though
that's not strictly needed.
