  • The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
    is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
    only small devices.

    This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
    references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
    option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
    can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
    considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

    Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
    expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
    are making should enable it.

  • pte alloc routines must wait for split_huge_page if the pmd is not present
    and not null (i.e. pmd_trans_splitting). The additional branches are
    optimized away at compile time by pmd_trans_splitting if the config option
    is off. However we must pass the vma down in order to know the anon_vma
    lock to wait for.

  • Both commits 0a3d763f1a68 ("ptrace: cleanup arch_ptrace() on um") and
    9b05a69e0534 ("ptrace: change signature of arch_ptrace()") broke the um
    build. This patch fixes the issues.

    0a3d763f1a68 introduced the undeclared variable "datavp". The patch seems
    completely untested. :-(

    9b05a69e0534 changed arch_ptrace()'s signature but did not update
    um/include/asm/ptrace-generic.h.

  • I think that it's better to detect DMA misuse at build time rather than
    calling BUG_ON. Architectures that can't do DMA need to define
    CONFIG_NO_DMA.

    Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for explaining how CONFIG_NO_DMA and CONFIG_HAS_DMA
    work:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128359913825550&w=2

    HAS_DMA is defined like this:

    config HAS_DMA
    boolean
    depends on !NO_DMA
    default y

    So to set HAS_DMA to true an arch should do:
    1) Do not define NO_DMA
    2) Define NO_DMA abd set it to 'n'

    Must archs - including um - used principle 1).

    In the um case we want to say that we do NOT have any DMA.
    This can be done in two ways.
    a) define NO_DMA and set it to 'y'
    b) redefine HAS_DMA and set it to 'n'.

    The patch you provided used principle b) where other archs use principle a).
    So I suggest you should use principle a) for um too.

  • The linker script cleanup that I did in commit 5d150a97f93 ("um: Clean up
    linker script using standard macros.") (2.6.32) accidentally introduced an
    ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE) when converting to use INIT_TEXT_SECTION; Richard
    Weinberger reported that this causes the kernel to segfault with
    CONFIG_STATIC_LINK=y.

    I'm not certain why this extra alignment is a problem, but it seems likely
    it is because previously

    __init_begin = _stext = _text = _sinittext

    and with the extra ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE), _sinittext becomes different from the
    rest. So there is likely a bug here where something is assuming that
    _sinittext is the same as one of those other symbols. But reverting the
    accidental change fixes the regression, so it seems worth committing that
    now.

  • Three uml device drivers still use the big kernel lock,
    but all of them can be safely converted to using
    a per-driver mutex instead. Most likely this is not
    even necessary, so after further review these can
    and should be removed as well.

    The exec system call no longer requires the BKL either,
    so remove it from there, too.

  • All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
    nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
    .llseek pointer.

    The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
    and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
    the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
    the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

    New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
    and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
    to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
    relies on calling seek on the device file.

    The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
    comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
    chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
    be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
    seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

    Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
    the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

    Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
    patch that does all this.

  • Commit f81f2f7c (ubd: drop unnecessary rq->sector manipulation)
    dropped request->sector manipulation in preparation for global request
    handling cleanup; unfortunately, it incorrectly assumed that the
    updated sector wasn't being used.

    ubd tries to issue as many requests as possible to io_thread. When
    issuing fails due to memory pressure or other reasons, the device is
    put on the restart list and issuing stops. On IO completion, devices
    on the restart list are scanned and IO issuing is restarted.

    ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a
    request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where
    to restart in its current request. ubd needs to keep track of the
    issue position itself because,

    * blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of
    _completion_ position.

    * Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's
    difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is.

    Add ubd->rq_pos to keep track of the issue position and use it to
    correctly restart io_req issue.

  • uml_net_set_mac() was broken and luckily it was never used, before.
    What it was trying to do is spin_lock before memcopy the mac address.
    Linus attempted to fix it in assumption that someone decided the
    lock was needed. But since it was never ever used at all, and was
    just dead code, I think we can assume that it is not needed, after
    all.

    On the other hand patch [f25c80a4] was trying to use eth_mac_addr()
    in eth_configure(), *which was the real fallout*. Because of state
    checks done inside eth_mac_addr() the address was never set. I have
    not reintroduced the memcpy wrapper, but I've put a comment for future
    cats.

    The code now is back to exactly as it was before [f25c80a4]. With
    the cleanup applied. If the spin_lock is indeed needed then a contender
    should supply a test case that fails, then fix it with the proper
    locking, as a separate unrelated patch.

  • Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
    correctly on ARM:

    arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

    This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
    the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
    because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
    copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
    pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

    do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
    or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
    const should be fine.

    Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

    This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

  • Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
    aren't. The list includes:

    (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
    syscalls and some mount syscalls.

    (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.

    (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.
