cmpxchg() is widely used by lockless code, including NMI-safe lockless
code. But on some architectures, the cmpxchg() implementation is not
NMI-safe, on these architectures the lockless code may need a
spin_trylock_irqsave() based implementation.This patch adds a Kconfig option: ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so that
NMI-safe lockless code can depend on it or provide different
implementation according to it.On many architectures, cmpxchg is only NMI-safe for several specific
operand sizes. So, ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG define in this patch
only guarantees cmpxchg is NMI-safe for sizeof(unsigned long).Signed-off-by: Huang Ying

After changing all consumers of atomics to include , we
ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain:linux/atomic.h
-> asm/atomic.h
-> asm-generic/atomic-long.hwhere atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h
without a prototype. This patches moves the code that includes
asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.Archs that need need to select
CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 from now on (some of them used to include it
unconditionally).Compile tested on i386 and x86_64 with allnoconfig.

commit 21a3c96 uses node_start/end_pfn(nid) for detection start/end
of nodes. But, it's not defined in linux/mmzone.h but defined in
/arch/???/include/mmzone.h which is included only under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y.Then, we see
mm/page_cgroup.c: In function 'page_cgroup_init':
mm/page_cgroup.c:308: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_start_pfn'
mm/page_cgroup.c:309: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_end_pfn'So, fixiing page_cgroup.c is an idea...
But node_start_pfn()/node_end_pfn() is a very generic macro and
should be implemented in the same manner for all archs.
(m32r has different implementation...)This patch removes definitions of node_start/end_pfn() in each archs
and defines a unified one in linux/mmzone.h. It's not under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, now.A result of macro expansion is here (mm/page_cgroup.c)
for !NUMA
start_pfn = ((&contig_page_data)->node_start_pfn);
end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (&contig_page_data); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});for NUMA (x86-64)
start_pfn = ((node_data[nid])->node_start_pfn);
end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (node_data[nid]); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});Changelog:

* setns:
ns: Wire up the setns system callDone as a merge to make it easier to fix up conflicts in arm due to
addition of sendmmsg system call -
32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts.

Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass
the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting
the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context. This patch
now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now
avoided.This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around
__show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter.ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone()
must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use
a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
volatile memory (memory that can be freed).This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
otherwise.Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
and document the function.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

When a DISCONTIGMEM memory range is brought online as a NUMA node, it
also needs to have its bet set in N_NORMAL_MEMORY. This is necessary for
generic kernel code that utilizes N_NORMAL_MEMORY as a subset of N_ONLINE
for memory savings.These types of hacks can hopefully be removed once DISCONTIGMEM is either
removed or abstracted away from CONFIG_NUMA.Fixes a panic in the slub code which only initializes structures for
N_NORMAL_MEMORY to save memory:Backtrace:

According to Appendix F, the TLB is the primary arbiter of speculation.
Thus, if a page has a TLB entry, it may be speculatively read into the
cache. On linux, this can cause us incoherencies because if we're about
to do a disk read, we call get_user_pages() to do the flush/invalidate
in user space, but we still potentially have the user TLB entries, and
the cache could speculate the lines back into userspace (thus causing
stale data to be used). This is fixed by purging the TLB entries before
we flush through the tmpalias space. Now, the only way the line could
be re-speculated is if the user actually tries to touch it (which is not
allowed).Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

Currently parisc has the whole kernel marked as RWX, meaning any
kernel page at all is eligible to be executed. This can cause a
theoretical problem on systems with combined I/D TLB because the act
of referencing a page causes a TLB insertion with an executable bit.
This TLB entry may be used by the CPU as the basis for speculating the
page into the I-Cache. If this speculated page is subsequently used
for a user process, there is the possibility we will get a stale
I-cache line picked up as the binary executes.As a point of good practise, only mark actual kernel text pages as
executable. The same has to be done for init_text pages, but they're
converted to data pages (and the I-Cache flushed) when the init memory
is released.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.
This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!
