core: fix typo in percpu read_mostly section

2014-07-01T20:45:22Z

This fixes a typo that named the read_mostly section of percpu as readmostly. It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies .data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break things unexpectedly. Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly (commit c957ef2c59e952803766ddc22e89981ab534606f), it looks like this was the original intention. Tested: Built UP kernel and confirmed the sections got merged. - Before the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004418 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 50 .data..readmostly 00000014 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00444000 2**3 - After the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004438 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 Signed-off-by: Zhengyu He Signed-off-by: Filipe Brandenburger Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

include/asm-generic/ioctl.h: fix _IOC_TYPECHECK sparse error

2014-06-06T23:08:13Z

When running sparse over drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c I get these errors: drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2043:9: error: bad integer constant expression drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2044:9: error: bad integer constant expression drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2045:9: error: bad integer constant expression drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2046:9: error: bad integer constant expression etc. The root cause of that turns out to be in include/asm-generic/ioctl.h: #include /* provoke compile error for invalid uses of size argument */ extern unsigned int __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC; #define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) \ ((sizeof(t) == sizeof(t[1]) && \ sizeof(t) < (1 << _IOC_SIZEBITS)) ? \ sizeof(t) : __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC) If it is defined as this (as is already done if __KERNEL__ is not defined): #define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) (sizeof(t)) then all is well with the world. This patch allows sparse to work correctly. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

locking/rwlocks: Introduce 'qrwlocks' - fair, queued rwlocks

2014-06-06T05:58:28Z

This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting rwlock is a fair lock. It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4 bytes for the arch_spinlock_t. Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count).

x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the PMD and PTE levels

2014-06-04T23:53:55Z

_PAGE_NUMA is currently an alias of _PROT_PROTNONE to trap NUMA hinting faults on x86. Care is taken such that _PAGE_NUMA is used only in situations where the VMA flags distinguish between NUMA hinting faults and prot_none faults. This decision was x86-specific and conceptually it is difficult requiring special casing to distinguish between PROTNONE and NUMA ptes based on context. Fundamentally, we only need the _PAGE_NUMA bit to tell the difference between an entry that is really unmapped and a page that is protected for NUMA hinting faults as if the PTE is not present then a fault will be trapped. Swap PTEs on x86-64 use the bits after _PAGE_GLOBAL for the offset. This patch shrinks the maximum possible swap size and uses the bit to uniquely distinguish between NUMA hinting ptes and swap ptes.
