mm: pgtable: fix pte_swp_exclusive

2025-06-11T21:52:08Z

Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int. This will better reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code. This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper 32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).

ARC: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in the non-uapi headers

2025-06-09T16:18:12Z

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement).

ARC: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in uapi headers

2025-06-09T16:18:12Z

__ASSEMBLY__ is only defined by the Makefile of the kernel, so this is not really useful for uapi headers (unless the userspace Makefile defines it, too). Let's switch to __ASSEMBLER__ which gets set automatically by the compiler when compiling assembly code. Cc: linux-snps-arc@lists.infradead.org Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: atomics: Implement arch_atomic64_cmpxchg using _relaxed

2025-06-09T16:18:12Z

The core atomic code has a number of macros where it elaborates architecture primitives into more functions. ARC uses arch_atomic64_cmpxchg() as it's architecture primitive which disable alot of the additional functions. Instead provide arch_cmpxchg64_relaxed() as the primitive and rely on the core macros to create arch_cmpxchg64(). The macros will also provide other functions, for instance, try_cmpxchg64_release(), giving a more complete implementation.

syscall.h: introduce syscall_set_nr()

2025-05-12T00:48:15Z

Similar to syscall_set_arguments() that complements syscall_get_arguments(), introduce syscall_set_nr() that complements syscall_get_nr(). syscall_set_nr() is going to be needed along with syscall_set_arguments() on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API.

syscall.h: add syscall_set_arguments()

2025-05-12T00:48:15Z

This function is going to be needed on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API. This partially reverts commit 7962c2eddbfe ("arch: remove unused function syscall_set_arguments()") by reusing some of old syscall_set_arguments() implementations.

2025-05-12T00:48:02Z

Most architectures simply call pfn_pte(). Centralise that as the normal definition and remove the definition of mk_pte() from the architectures which have either that exact definition or something similar.

asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic __pgd_{alloc,free}

2025-01-26T04:22:24Z

We already have a generic implementation of alloc/free up to P4D level, as well as pgd_free(). Let's finish the work and add a generic PGD-level alloc helper as well. Unlike at lower levels, almost all architectures need some specific magic at PGD level (typically initialising PGD entries), so introducing a generic pgd_alloc() isn't worth it. Instead we introduce two new helpers, __pgd_alloc() and __pgd_free(), and make use of them in the arch-specific pgd_alloc() and pgd_free() wherever possible. To accommodate as many arch as possible, __pgd_alloc() takes a page allocation order. Because pagetable_alloc() allocates zeroed pages, explicit zeroing in pgd_alloc() becomes redundant and we can get rid of it. Some trivial implementations of pgd_free() also become unnecessary once __pgd_alloc() is used; remove them. Another small improvement is consistent accounting of PGD pages by using GFP_PGTABLE_{USER,KERNEL} as appropriate. Not all PGD allocations can be handled by the generic helpers. In particular, multiple architectures allocate PGDs from a kmem_cache, and those PGDs may not be page-sized.
