Merge tag 'dma-mapping-4.21' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping

2018-12-28T22:12:21Z

Pull DMA mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig: "A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or removing code: - provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect calls for dma_map_* error checking - use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge retpoline overhead for high performance workloads - merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct - provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for architectures that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache coherent. Based on the existing arm64 implementation and also used for csky now. - improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation of entries (Robin Murphy) - default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that can't cope with it - misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups - remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure - fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund) - move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to common code (Robin Murphy) - ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel data leaks through userspace. We already did this for most common architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere. dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script" * tag 'dma-mapping-4.21' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping: (73 commits) dma-mapping: fix inverted logic in dma_supported dma-mapping: deprecate dma_zalloc_coherent dma-mapping: zero memory returned from dma_alloc_* sparc/iommu: fix ->map_sg return value sparc/io-unit: fix ->map_sg return value arm64: default to the direct mapping in get_arch_dma_ops PCI: Remove unused attr variable in pci_dma_configure ia64: only select ARCH_HAS_DMA_COHERENT_TO_PFN if swiotlb is enabled dma-mapping: bypass indirect calls for dma-direct vmd: use the proper dma_* APIs instead of direct methods calls dma-direct: merge swiotlb_dma_ops into the dma_direct code dma-direct: use dma_direct_map_page to implement dma_direct_map_sg dma-direct: improve addressability error reporting swiotlb: remove dma_mark_clean swiotlb: remove SWIOTLB_MAP_ERROR ACPI / scan: Refactor _CCA enforcement dma-mapping: factor out dummy DMA ops dma-mapping: always build the direct mapping code dma-mapping: move dma_cache_sync out of line dma-mapping: move various slow path functions out of line ...

xtensa: implement jump_label support

2018-12-20T22:44:38Z

Use 3-byte 'nop' and 'j' instructions that are always present. Don't let assembler mark a spot right after patchable 'j' instruction as unreachable and later put literals or padding bytes there. Add separate implementations of patch_text for SMP and UP cases, avoiding use of atomics on UP. Signed-off-by: Max Filippov

arch: switch the default on ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN

2018-12-06T15:04:56Z

These days architectures are mostly out of the business of dealing with struct scatterlist at all, unless they have architecture specific iommu drivers. Replace the ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN symbol with a ARCH_NO_SG_CHAIN one only enabled for architectures with horrible legacy iommu drivers like alpha and parisc, and conditionally for arm which wants to keep it disable for legacy platforms.

MIPS: Enable IOREMAP_PROT config option for MIPS cpus

2018-11-05T18:15:28Z

Allows the users of ptrace to access memory mapped by the ptraced process using the same cache coherency attributes as the original process. For example while using gdb with ioremap_prot() incorporated, both gdb and the process being traced will have same cache coherency attributes.

ARM: 8777/1: Hook up SYNC_CORE functionality for sys_membarrier()

2018-07-11T10:02:08Z

Exception return implies context synchronization, so we can hook up the SYNC_CORE option to sys_membarrier() simply by selecting the Kconfig option, just like we've done for arm64 already. Cc: Orion Hodson Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers Signed-off-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Russell King

Kbuild: rename HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR config variable

2018-06-14T22:15:28Z

HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR should be selected by architectures with stack canary implementation. It is not about the compiler support. For the consistency with commit 050e9baa9dc9 ("Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables"), remove 'CC_' from the config symbol. I moved the 'select' lines to keep the alphabetical sorting. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL

2018-06-08T00:34:35Z

Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture header files. Most of the time, it is defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per architecture static definition. This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL. Here notes for some architecture where the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious: arm __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE. powerpc __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files: - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is included in all the other cases. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time. sparc: __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) && defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64 There is no functional change introduced by this patch.
