frv: set ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN

2010-07-05T18:10:49Z

commit 69dcf3db03626c4f18de624e8632454ea12ff260 upstream. Architectures that handle DMA-non-coherent memory need to set ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to make sure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe: the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others.

FDPIC: Respect PT_GNU_STACK exec protection markings when creating NOMMU stack

2010-02-09T12:50:49Z

commit 04e4f2b18c8de1389d1e00fef0f42a8099910daf upstream. The current code will load the stack size and protection markings, but then only use the markings in the MMU code path. The NOMMU code path always passes PROT_EXEC to the mmap() call. While this doesn't matter to most people whilst the code is running, it will cause a pointless icache flush when starting every FDPIC application. Typically this icache flush will be of a region on the order of 128KB in size, or may be the entire icache, depending on the facilities available on the CPU. In the case where the arch default behaviour seems to be desired (EXSTACK_DEFAULT), we probe VM_STACK_FLAGS for VM_EXEC to determine whether we should be setting PROT_EXEC or not. For arches that support an MPU (Memory Protection Unit - an MMU without the virtual mapping capability), setting PROT_EXEC or not will make an important difference. It should be noted that this change also affects the executability of the brk region, since ELF-FDPIC has that share with the stack. However, this is probably irrelevant as NOMMU programs aren't likely to use the brk region, preferring instead allocation via mmap().

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04Z

It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

headers: utsname.h redux

2009-09-24T01:13:10Z

* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from linux/utsname.h -- not needed after kref conversion * remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related headers and files alone.
