vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-04-29T08:34:00Z

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream. The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.

powerpc/cell/iommu: Improve error message for missing node

2013-05-06T02:03:49Z

Some devices don't have a correct node ID and thus can't be attached to an iommu. The message displayed by the iommu code isn't very useful if you don't have a device-tree node as it tries to print the device-tree path but not the struct device name. Improve this by printing the device name as well. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/cell/spufs: Fix status attribute permission

We are registering the attribute with permission 0644 but it doesn't have a store callback, which causes WARN_ON's during boot. Fix the permission. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Pull powerpc update from Benjamin Herrenschmidt: "The main highlights this time around are: - A pile of addition POWER8 bits and nits, such as updated performance counter support (Michael Ellerman), new branch history buffer support (Anshuman Khandual), base support for the new PCI host bridge when not using the hypervisor (Gavin Shan) and other random related bits and fixes from various contributors. - Some rework of our page table format by Aneesh Kumar which fixes a thing or two and paves the way for THP support. THP itself will not make it this time around however. - More Freescale updates, including Altivec support on the new e6500 cores, new PCI controller support, and a pile of new boards support and updates. - The usual batch of trivial cleanups & fixes" * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (156 commits) powerpc: Fix build error for book3e powerpc: Context switch the new EBB SPRs powerpc: Turn on the EBB H/FSCR bits powerpc: Replace CPU_FTR_BCTAR with CPU_FTR_ARCH_207S powerpc: Setup BHRB instructions facility in HFSCR for POWER8 powerpc: Fix interrupt range check on debug exception powerpc: Update tlbie/tlbiel as per ISA doc powerpc: Print page size info during boot powerpc: print both base and actual page size on hash failure powerpc: Fix hpte_decode to use the correct decoding for page sizes powerpc: Decode the pte-lp-encoding bits correctly. powerpc: Use encode avpn where we need only avpn values powerpc: Reduce PTE table memory wastage powerpc: Move the pte free routines from common header powerpc: Reduce the PTE_INDEX_SIZE powerpc: Switch 16GB and 16MB explicit hugepages to a different page table format powerpc: New hugepage directory format powerpc: Don't truncate pgd_index wrongly powerpc: Don't hard code the size of pte page powerpc: Save DAR and DSISR in pt_regs on MCE ...

powerpc: Decode the pte-lp-encoding bits correctly.

2013-04-30T06:00:14Z

We look at both the segment base page size and actual page size and store the pte-lp-encodings in an array per base page size. We also update all relevant functions to take actual page size argument so that we can use the correct PTE LP encoding in HPTE. This should also get the basic Multiple Page Size per Segment (MPSS) support. This is needed to enable THP on ppc64.

powerpc: Use encode avpn where we need only avpn values

2013-04-30T06:00:11Z

In all these cases we are doing something similar to HPTE_V_COMPARE(hpte_v, want_v) which ignores the HPTE_V_LARGE bit With MPSS support we would need actual page size to set HPTE_V_LARGE bit and that won't be available in most of these cases. Since we are ignoring HPTE_V_LARGE bit, use the avpn value instead. There should not be any change in behaviour after this patch.

mm: remove free_area_cache use in powerpc architecture

2013-04-30T01:05:10Z

As all other architectures have been converted to use vm_unmapped_area(), we are about to retire the free_area_cache. This change simply removes the use of that cache in slice_get_unmapped_area(), which will most certainly have a performance cost. Next one will convert that function to use the vm_unmapped_area() infrastructure and regain the performance.

powerpc/spufs: Initialise inode->i_ino in spufs_new_inode()

2013-04-24T04:22:32Z

In commit 85fe402 (fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode), the initialisation of i_ino was removed from new_inode() and pushed down into the callers. However spufs_new_inode() was not updated. This exhibits as no files appearing in /spu, because all our dirents have a zero inode, which readdir() seems to dislike.
