parisc: fix kernel memory layout in vmlinux.ld.S

2013-11-30T21:09:21Z

When building a 64bit kernel sometimes functions in the .init section were not able to reach the standard kernel function. Main reason for this problem is, that the linkage tables (.plt, .opd, .dlt) tend to become pretty huge and thus the distance gets too big for short calls. One option to avoid this is to use the -mlong-calls compiler option, but this increases the binary size and introduces a performance penalty. Instead, with this patch we just lay out the binary differently. Init code is stored first, followed by text, R/O and finally R/W data. This means, that init and text code is now much closer to each other, which is sufficient to reach each other by short calls. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: improve SIGBUS/SIGSEGV error reporting

2013-11-19T22:36:18Z

This patch fixes most of the Linux Test Project testcases, e.g. fstat05. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: signal fixup - SIGBUS vs. SIGSEGV

2013-11-07T21:29:24Z

Clean up code to send correct signal on invalid memory accesses: Send SIGBUS instead of SIGSEGV for memory accesses outside of mmap'ed areas This fixes the mmap13 testcase from the Linux Test Project. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: provide macro to create exception table entries

2013-11-07T21:25:33Z

Provide a macro ASM_EXCEPTIONTABLE_ENTRY() to create exception table entries and convert all open-coded places to use that macro. This patch is a first step toward creating a exception table which only holds 32bit pointers even on a 64bit kernel. That way in my own kernel I was able to reduce the in-kernel exception table from 44kB to 22kB. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: optimize variable initialization in do_page_fault

2013-10-13T15:45:40Z

The attached change defers the initialization of the variables tsk, mm and flags until they are needed. As a result, the code won't crash if a kernel probe is done with a corrupt context and the code will be better optimized. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

arch/parisc/mm/fault.c: fix uninitialized variable usage

arch: mm: pass userspace fault flag to generic fault handler

2013-09-12T22:38:01Z

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from user-triggered faults. Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM handling can be improved.

mm: concentrate modification of totalram_pages into the mm core

2013-07-03T23:07:33Z

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it. With these changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(), free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count(). With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence. Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu Acked-by: David Howells Cc: "H.
