* Generic semaphore implementationMatthew Wilcox2008-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the unlikely() was unnecessary.

* [XTENSA] Allow debugger to modify the WINDOWBASE register.Chris Zankel2008-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | For the 'return' command, GDB needs to adjust WINDOWBASE. In case WB is different from 0, we need to rotate the window register file and update WINDOWSTART and WMASK. This patch also removes some ret|= statements for __get_user/__put_user as the address range was alrady checked a couple of lines earlier. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>
* [XTENSA] Fix makefile to work with binutils-2.18.Bob Wilson2008-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | When building with binutils-2.18, vmlinux includes .note.gnu.build-id sections that need to be stripped out when building the binary image. The old .xt.insn sections haven't been used for a long time, so don't bother stripping them. Signed-off-by: Bob Wilson <bob.wilson@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>
* [XTENSA] Fix register corruption for certain processor configurationsChris Zankel2008-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | For processor configurations that have optional registers (compiler-used but non-coprocessor), user space registers might get corrupted when there are only 4 registers in the current window-frame, ie. register a4 belongs to the oldest frame in the register file.

* [XTENSA] Add support for the sa_restorer functionChris Zankel2008-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | Supporting the sa_restorer function allows for better security since the sigreturn system call doesn't need to be placed on the stack, so the stack doesn't need to be executable. This requires support from the c-library as it has to provide the restorer function. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>
* [XTENSA] Add support for configurable registers and coprocessorsChris Zankel2008-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Xtensa architecture allows to define custom instructions and registers. Registers that are bound to a coprocessor are only accessible if the corresponding enable bit is set, which allows to implement a 'lazy' context switch mechanism. Other registers needs to be saved and restore at the time of the context switch or during interrupt handling. This patch adds support for these additional states: - save and restore registers that are used by the compiler upon interrupt entry and exit. - context switch additional registers unbound to any coprocessor - 'lazy' context switch of registers bound to a coprocessor - ptrace interface to provide access to additional registers - update configuration files in include/asm-xtensa/variant-fsf Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>

* avoid overflows in kernel/time.cH. Peter Anvin2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the conversion factor between jiffies and milli- or microseconds is not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently do a multiply followed by a divide. The intervening result, however, is subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000). This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for example. This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on 32-bit platforms. When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on 64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g. on 64-bit s390), but since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000). The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half of the valid output range. This could be avoided at the expense of having to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result. Since the intent is to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff. At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute the necessary constants. We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel compiles. This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0. In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table. Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the Makefile. Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r, m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the sh tree. Signed-off-by: H.

* pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other use cases has been requested too.

* [XTENSA] Add support for cache-aliasingChris Zankel2007-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for processors that have cache-aliasing issues, such as the Stretch S5000 processor. Cache-aliasing means that the size of the cache (for one way) is larger than the page size, thus, a page can end up in several places in cache depending on the virtual to physical translation. The method used here is to map a user page temporarily through the auto-refill way 0 and of of the DTLB. We probably will want to revisit this issue and use a better approach with kmap/kunmap.

* [XTENSA] Add support for executable/non-executable feature in the mmuChris Zankel2007-08-27
| | | | | | | | | Newer processor versions starting with Xtensa6/LX2 support an 'executable' bit for memory pages. This bit replaces the 'valid' bit, so it must be always set to one for older processor versions. To mark a page invalid, we now set the cache-attributes to b11, which is backward compatible.
