Linus Torvalds d06063cc22 Move FAULT_FLAG_xyz into handle_mm_fault() callers
This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz
flags to handle_mm_fault().  All callers have been (mechanically)
converted to the new calling convention, there's almost certainly room
for architectures to clean up their code and then add FAULT_FLAG_RETRY
when that support is added.

Thomas Gleixner 6fa851c3e9 um: remove obsolete hw_interrupt_type
The defines and typedefs (hw_interrupt_type, no_irq_type, irq_desc_t) have
been kept around for migration reasons.  After more than two years it's
time to remove them finally.

This patch cleans up one of the remaining users.  When all such patches
hit mainline we can remove the defines and typedefs finally.

Impact: cleanup

Convert the last remaining users to struct irq_chip and remove the
define.

Alexey Dobriyan bb1f17b037 mm: consolidate init_mm definition
* create mm/init-mm.c, move init_mm there
* remove INIT_MM, initialize init_mm with C99 initializer
* unexport init_mm on all arches:

  init_mm is already unexported on x86.

  One strange place is some OMAP driver (drivers/video/omap/) which
  won't build modular, but it's already wants get_vm_area() export.
  Somebody should look there.

Renzo Davoli 86d6f2bf61 UML on UML fixed: it did not start
It is currently impossible to run a user-mode linux machine inside another
user-mode linux (UML on UML).  It breaks after a few instructions.  When
it tries to check whether SYSEMU is installed (the inner) UML receives an
inconsistent result (from the outer UML).

This is the output of a broken attempt:
$ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow
Locating the bottom of the address space ... 0x0
Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000
Core dump limits :
        soft - 0
        hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK
Checking ptrace new tags for syscall emulation...unsupported
Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...check_sysemu : expected SIGTRAP, got status = 256
$

The problem is the following:

PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um.

PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch,
therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in
kernel/ptrace).

This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes
the problem.

Nick Piggin 1c0fe6e3bd mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault
Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets
a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer.

With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups,
oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling,
panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting
process at page fault time.  Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call
into instead.

Only converted x86 and uml so far.

Rusty Russell 98a79d6a50 cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map
Impact: cleanup

Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
location.

Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
   CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
   Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
   so I just manipulate them both in sync.

4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
   declarations.

Manfred Spraul e545a6140b kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier
Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.

The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.

Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got

Thomas Gleixner b8f8c3cf0a nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop
Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:

	scheduler switch to idle task
	enable interrupts

Window starts here

	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
	      	irq_exit() stops the tick

	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)

	return from schedule()
	
	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();

Window ends here

The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.

The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.

Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.

cpu_idle()
{
	preempt_disable();

	while(1) {
		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
		 			          are in the idle loop

		 while (!need_resched())
		       halt();

		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
		 schedule();
		 preempt_disable();
	}
}

In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... 

/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space,
as well as the top.  This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap
addresses.  It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a
valid page is found.

Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not
sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the
address space.  The size is the difference between the top address and
bottom address.

supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and

Jeff Dike cfd28f6695 uml: fix bad NTP interaction with clock
UML's supposed nanosecond clock interacts badly with NTP when NTP
decides that the clock has drifted ahead and needs to be slowed down.
Slowing down the clock is done by decrementing the cycle-to-nanosecond
multiplier, which is 1.  Decrementing that gives you 0 and time is
stopped.

This is fixed by switching to a microsecond clock, with a multiplier
of 1000.

Reintroduce uml_kmalloc for the benefit of UML libc code.  The
previous tactic of declaring __kmalloc so it could be called directly
from the libc side of the house turned out to be getting too intimate
with slab, and it doesn't work with slob.

So, the uml_kmalloc wrapper is back.  It calls kmalloc or whatever
that translates into, and libc code calls it.

kfree is left alone since that still works, leaving a somewhat
inconsistent API.

Ulrich Drepper d35c7b0e54 unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation
This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
one unified implementation.  This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
code.

It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for

implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)

I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
isn't needed.  The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
no obstacles.

Alexey Dobriyan c74c120a21 proc: remove proc_root from drivers
Remove proc_root export.  Creation and removal works well if parent PDE is
supplied as NULL -- it worked always that way.

So, one useless export removed and consistency added, some drivers created
PDEs with &proc_root as parent but removed them as NULL and so on.

Jeff Dike ac2a659968 uml: fix mm_context memory leak
[ Spotted by Miklos ]

Fix a memory leak in init_new_context.  The struct page ** buffer allocated
for install_special_mapping was never recorded, and thus leaked when the
mm_struct was freed.  Fix it by saving the pointer in mm_context_t and freeing
it in arch_exit_mmap.

Jeff Dike 536788fe2d uml: runtime host VMSPLIT detection
Calculate TASK_SIZE at run-time by figuring out the host's VMSPLIT - this is
needed on i386 if UML is to run on hosts with varying VMSPLITs without
recompilation.

TASK_SIZE is now defined in terms of a variable, task_size.  This gets rid of
an include of pgtable.h from processor.h, which can cause include loops.

On i386, task_size is calculated early in boot by probing the address space in
a binary search to figure out where the boundary between usable and non-usable
memory is.  This tries to make sure that a page that is considered to be in
userspace is, or can be made, read-write.  I'm concerned about a system-global
VDSO page in kernel memory being hit and considered to be a userspace page.

On x86_64, task_size is just the old value of CONFIG_TOP_ADDR.

A bunch of config variable are gone now.  CONFIG_TOP_ADDR is directly replaced
by TASK_SIZE.  NEST_LEVEL is gone since the relocation of the stubs makes it
irrelevant.  All the HOST_VMSPLIT stuff is gone.  All references to these in
arch/um/Makefile are also gone.

I noticed and fixed a missing extern in os.h when adding os_get_task_size.

Note: This has been revised to fix the 32-bit UML on 64-bit host bug that
Miklos ran into.

Martin Schwidefsky 2f569afd9c CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.
Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390.  These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM.  The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste).  The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction.  The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.

Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K.  That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page.  Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).

Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t.  For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch.  For everybody else it will be a (struct page *).  The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor.  The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed.  pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
 To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added.  It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

David Howells 7fa3031500 aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT
Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.

Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case.  Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.

To make this work, this patch also does the following:

 (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
     CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.

 (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
     core dumping code.

 (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline.  This
     is then included only where needed.  This means that this bit of arch
     code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
     the core kernel.

 (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
     needed) and FRV.

This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

Jeff Dike f87ea91d98 uml: redo the calculation of NR_syscalls
Redo the calculation of NR_syscalls since that disappeared from i386 and
use a similar mechanism on x86_64.

We now figure out the size of the system call table in arch code and stick
that in syscall_table_size.  arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.c defines
NR_syscalls in terms of that since its the only thing that needs to know
how many system calls there are.

The old mechananism that was used on x86_64 is gone.

arch/um/include/sysdep-i386/syscalls.h got some formatting since I was
looking at it.
