types: Update obsolete callback_head comment

2017-04-19T16:29:17Z

The comment header for callback_head (and thus for rcu_head) states that the bottom two bits of a pointer to these structures must be zero. This is obsolete: The new requirement is that only the bottom bit need be zero. This commit therefore updates this comment. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

2016-12-25T10:04:12Z

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is unambiguous. Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script: @rem@ @@ -typedef u64 cycle_t; @fix@ typedef cycle_t; @@ -cycle_t +u64 Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: John Stultz

linux: drop bitwise everywhere

2016-12-15T22:13:41Z

__bitwise__ used to mean "yes, please enable sparse checks unconditionally", but now that we dropped __CHECK_ENDIAN__ __bitwise is exactly the same. There aren't many users, replace it by __bitwise everywhere. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

signal: make oom_flags a bool

2016-05-24T00:04:14Z

Currently the size of "struct signal_struct"->oom_flags member is sizeof(unsigned) bytes, but only one flag OOM_FLAG_ORIGIN which is updated by current thread is defined. We can convert OOM_FLAG_ORIGIN into a bool, and reuse the saved bytes for updating from the OOM killer and/or the OOM reaper thread. By the way, do we care about a race window between run_store() and swapoff() because it would be theoretically possible that two threads sharing the "struct signal_struct" concurrently call respective functions? If we care, we can make oom_flags an atomic_t. Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa Cc: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

arm64: fix building without CONFIG_UID16

2015-11-25T15:49:13Z

As reported by Michal Simek, building an ARM64 kernel with CONFIG_UID16 disabled currently fails because the system call table still needs to reference the individual function entry points that are provided by kernel/sys_ni.c in this case, and the declarations are hidden inside of #ifdef CONFIG_UID16: arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h:57:8: error: 'sys_lchown16' undeclared here (not in a function) __SYSCALL(__NR_lchown, sys_lchown16) I believe this problem only exists on ARM64, because older architectures tend to not need declarations when their system call table is built in assembly code, while newer architectures tend to not need UID16 support. ARM64 only uses these system calls for compatibility with 32-bit ARM binaries. This changes the CONFIG_UID16 check into CONFIG_HAVE_UID16, which is set unconditionally on ARM64 with CONFIG_COMPAT, so we see the declarations whenever we need them, but otherwise the behavior is unchanged.

rcu: force alignment on struct callback_head/rcu_head

2015-11-06T03:34:48Z

Make struct callback_head aligned to size of pointer. On most architectures it happens naturally due ABI requirements, but some architectures (like CRIS) have weird ABI and we need to ask it explicitly. The alignment is required to guarantee that bits 0 and 1 of @next will be clear under normal conditions -- as long as we use call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu() to queue callback. This guarantee is important for few reasons: - future call_rcu_lazy() will make use of lower bits in the pointer; - the structure shares storage spacer in struct page with @compound_head, which encode PageTail() in bit 0. The guarantee is needed to avoid false-positive PageTail(). False postive PageTail() caused crash on crisv32[1]. It happend due misaligned task_struct->rcu, which was byte-aligned.

rcu: Create a synchronize_rcu_mult()

2015-07-22T22:27:29Z

There have been several requests for a primitive that waits for grace periods for several RCU flavors concurrently, so this commit creates it. This is a variadic macro, and you pass in the call_rcu() functions of the flavors of RCU that you wish to wait for. Note that you cannot pass in call_srcu() for two reasons: (1) This would result in a type mismatch and (2) You need to specify which srcu_struct you want to use. Handle this by creating a wrapper function for your SRCU domain, for example: void call_srcu_mine(struct rcu_head *head, rcu_callback_t func) { call_srcu(&ss_mine, head, func); } You can then do something like this: synchronize_rcu_mult(call_srcu_mine, call_rcu, call_rcu_sched); Signed-off-by: Paul E.

PCI: Add pci_bus_addr_t

2015-05-29T22:21:45Z

David Ahern reported that d63e2e1f3df9 ("sparc/PCI: Clip bridge windows to fit in upstream windows") fails to boot on sparc/T5-8: pci 0000:06:00.0: reg 0x184: can't handle BAR above 4GB (bus address 0x110204000) The problem is that sparc64 assumed that dma_addr_t only needed to hold DMA addresses, i.e., bus addresses returned via the DMA API (dma_map_single(), etc.), while the PCI core assumed dma_addr_t could hold *any* bus address, including raw BAR values. On sparc64, all DMA addresses fit in 32 bits, so dma_addr_t is a 32-bit type. However, BAR values can be 64 bits wide, so they don't fit in a dma_addr_t. d63e2e1f3df9 added new checking that tripped over this mismatch. Add pci_bus_addr_t, which is wide enough to hold any PCI bus address, including both raw BAR values and DMA addresses. This will be 64 bits on 64-bit platforms and on platforms with a 64-bit dma_addr_t. Then dma_addr_t only needs to be wide enough to hold addresses from the DMA API.
