getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by:

This fault was detected using the kgdb test suite on boot and it crashes recursively due to the fact that CONFIG_KPROBES on mips adds an extra die notifier in the page fault handler. The crash signature looks like this: kgdbts:RUN bad memory access test KGDB: re-enter exception: ALL breakpoints killed Call Trace: [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54 [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54 The fix for now is to have kgdb return immediately if the fault type is DIE_PAGE_FAULT and allow the kprobe code to decide what is supposed to happen.

.fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access. Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it. I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other archs is obvious, but who knows :) Signed-off-by:

The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing pages via free_pages_check. A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS) rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into userspace. This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages, since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the pool. This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page is freed into the pool.

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note. Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures which have it. Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or linux/compat.h. Most of the copies are verbatim. compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by __compat_uid[32]_t. compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already had it moved up). compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h to asm/compat.h.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax. Signed-off-by:

Besides the CPU and DDR PLLs, the CPU and DDR frequencies can be derived from other PLLs in the SRIF block on the AR934x SoCs. The current code does not checks if the SRIF PLLs are used and this can lead to incorrectly calculated CPU/DDR frequencies. Fix it by calculating the frequencies from SRIF PLLs if those are used on a given board. Signed-off-by:

The current dividers in the code are wrong and this leads to broken CPU frequency calculation on boards where the fractional part is used. For example, if the SoC is running from a 40MHz reference clock, refdiv=1, nint=14, outdiv=0 and nfrac=31 the real frequency is 579.375MHz but the current code calculates 569.687MHz instead. Because the system time is indirectly related to the CPU frequency the broken computation causes drift in the system time. The correct divider is 2^6 for the CPU PLL and 2^10 for the DDR PLL. Use the correct values to fix the issue. Signed-off-by:

While calculating the mac address the pointer for the current octet was never reset back to the least significant one after being decremented because of an octet overflow. This resulted in the code continuing to increment at the current octet, potentially generating duplicate or invalid mac addresses. As a second issue the pointer was allowed to advance up to the most significant octet, modifying the OUI, and potentially changing the type of mac address. Rewrite the code so it resets the pointer to the least significant in each outer loop step, and bails out when the least significant octet of the OUI is reached. Signed-off-by:

Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela, ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS. Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally. Signed-off-by:

YAMON requires and enforces the RTC Data Mode (Register B, DM bit) to binary, that is the bit is set every time the board goes through the firmware bootstrap sequence. Likewise its calendar manipulation commands interpret or set the RTC registers unconditionally as binary, never actually checking what the value of the DM bit is, under the (correct) assumption that it has been previously set, to indicate the binary mode. A change to Linux a while ago however introduced a platform-specific tweak that clears that bit and therefore forces the data mode to BCD. This causes clock corruption and misinterpretation that has to be fixed up by user-mode tools in system startup scripts as the initial clock is often incorrect according to the BCD interpretation forced. This change removes the hack; a comment included refers to alarm code, but even if it was broken at one point by requiring the BCD mode, it should have been trivially corrected and even if not, given how rarely the alarm feature is used, that was not really a reasonable justification to break the system clock that is indeed used by virtually everything. And either way the alarm code has been since fixed anyway. Signed-off-by:
