  • lib: use generic pci_iomap on all architectures

    Many architectures don't want to pull in iomap.c,
    so they ended up duplicating pci_iomap from that file.
    That function isn't trivial, and we are going to modify it
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/14/183
    so the duplication hurts.

    This reduces the scope of the problem significantly,
    by moving pci_iomap to a separate file and
    referencing that from all architectures.

  • frv uses a version of pci_iomap that simply
    casts and returns back the start address.
    Looking closely, both ioremap and ioport_map seem to
    do this on this platform, so the generic pci_iomap
    will DTRT automatically.

  • The 802.1X EAPOL handshake hostapd does requires
    knowing whether the frame was ack'ed by the peer.
    Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even
    transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but
    injecting it with radiotap and getting the status
    out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather
    complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and
    doesn't work with all hardware.

    To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX
    status option for data frame transmissions.

    This works similar to the existing TX timestamping
    in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's
    error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has
    an int indicating ACK status (0/1).

    Since it is possible that at some point we will
    want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a
    single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not
    doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING
    to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more
    than just the timestamp; keep the old constant
    as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs
    don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard
    to split them up in a way that makes it possible.

    Thanks to Neil Horman for helping me figure out
    the functions that add the control messages.

  • 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.h

    where 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.

  • * setns:
    ns: Wire up the setns system call

    Done as a merge to make it easier to fix up conflicts in arm due to
    addition of sendmmsg system call

    Linus Torvalds
     
  • 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.
    v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

  • minix bit operations are only used by minix filesystem and useless by
    other modules. Because byte order of inode and block bitmaps is different
    on each architecture like below:

    m68k:
    big-endian 16bit indexed bitmaps

    h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu:
    big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps

    m32r, mips, sh, xtensa:
    big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps for big-endian mode
    little-endian bitmaps for little-endian mode

    Others:
    little-endian bitmaps

    In order to move minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h to architecture
    independent code in minix filesystem, this provides two config options.

    CONFIG_MINIX_FS_BIG_ENDIAN_16BIT_INDEXED is only selected by m68k.
    CONFIG_MINIX_FS_NATIVE_ENDIAN is selected by the architectures which use
    native byte order bitmaps (h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu,
    m32r, mips, sh, xtensa). The architectures which always use little-endian
    bitmaps do not select these options.

    Finally, we can remove minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h for all
    architectures.

  • The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
    the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
    This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
    that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
    by running fault_in_user_writeable().

    This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
    get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
    original value through a reference argument.

  • Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
    approach.

    The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:

    #define __KM_PTE \
    (in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \
    in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
    KM_PTE0)

    and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
    slots might be appropriate for that.

    The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.

    For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:

    #define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)

    to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

  • This patch converts frv to use asm-generic/ioctls.h instead of its
    own version.

    The differences between the arch-specific version and the generic
    version are as follows:

    - FRV defines its own value for FIOQSIZE, asm-generic/ioctls.h keeps it
    - FRV defines TIOCTTYGSTRUCT, kept in arch-specific version
    - The generic version provides TIOCGRS485 and TIOCSRS485 but they
    are unused by any driver available for this architecture.
    - The generic version adds support for termiox

  • Fix the IRQ flag handling naming. In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
    it maps:

    local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
    local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
    local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
    ...

    and under the other configuration, it maps:

    raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
    raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
    raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
    ...

    This is quite confusing. There should be one set of names expected of the
    arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
    by users of this facility.

    Change this to have the arch provide:

    flags = arch_local_save_flags()
    flags = arch_local_irq_save()
    arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
    arch_local_irq_disable()
    arch_local_irq_enable()
    arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
    arch_irqs_disabled()
    arch_safe_halt()

    Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:

    raw_local_save_flags(flags)
    raw_local_irq_save(flags)
    raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
    raw_local_irq_disable()
    raw_local_irq_enable()
    raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
    raw_irqs_disabled()
    raw_safe_halt()

    with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:

    local_save_flags(flags)
    local_irq_save(flags)
    local_irq_restore(flags)
    local_irq_disable()
    local_irq_enable()
    irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
    irqs_disabled()
    safe_halt()

    with tracing included if enabled.

    The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
    having to be macros.

  • Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
    misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt). So it hasn't been so
    useful for drivers. We have only one user of the API in tree. Unlikely
    out-of-tree drivers use the API.

    Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
    useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
    allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are
    definitely necessary for drivers.

    Let's remove this API.

  • dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
    defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN). So we
    can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

    Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
    dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment. So
    fully-coherent architectures should return 1. This patch also fixes this
    issue.

  • Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.

    dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
    define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
    buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others). So
    we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

    This patch:

    dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
    ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
    alignment restriction). However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
    architectures doesn't define it.

    Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
    ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub
    (except for crypto).
