mm/debug_pagealloc: fix build failure on ppc and some other archs

2015-02-05T21:35:30Z

Kim Phillips reported following build failure. LD init/built-in.o mm/built-in.o: In function `free_pages_prepare': mm/page_alloc.c:770: undefined reference to `.kernel_map_pages' mm/built-in.o: In function `prep_new_page': mm/page_alloc.c:933: undefined reference to `.kernel_map_pages' mm/built-in.o: In function `map_pages': mm/compaction.c:61: undefined reference to `.kernel_map_pages' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 Reason for this problem is that commit 031bc5743f15 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable") forgot to remove the old declaration of kernel_map_pages() for some architectures. This patch removes them to fix build failure.

s390/timex: fix get_tod_clock_ext() inline assembly

2015-01-07T08:52:47Z

For C language, it treats array parameter as a pointer, so sizeof for an array parameter is equal to sizeof for a pointer, which causes compiler warning (with allmodconfig by gcc 5): ./arch/s390/include/asm/timex.h: In function 'get_tod_clock_ext': ./arch/s390/include/asm/timex.h:76:32: warning: 'sizeof' on array function parameter 'clk' will return size of 'char *' [-Wsizeof-array-argument] typedef struct { char _[sizeof(clk)]; } addrtype; ^ Can use macro CLOCK_STORE_SIZE instead of all related hard code numbers, which also can avoid this warning. And also add a tab to CLOCK_TICK_RATE definition to match coding styles. [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com]: Chen's patch actually fixes a bug within the get_tod_clock_ext() inline assembly where we incorrectly tell the compiler that only 8 bytes of memory get changed instead of 16 bytes. This would allow gcc to generate incorrect code. Right now this doesn't seem to be the case. Also slightly changed the patch a bit. - renamed CLOCK_STORE_SIZE to STORE_CLOCK_EXT_SIZE - changed get_tod_clock_ext() to receive a char pointer parameter Signed-off-by: Chen Gang Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

arch: Add lightweight memory barriers dma_rmb() and dma_wmb()

2014-12-12T02:15:06Z

There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be. For example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed is an lsync or eieio instruction. This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers rmb() and wmb(). In most cases this should result in the barrier being the same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb(). For example on ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows: Barrier Call Explanation --------- -------- ---------------------------------- rmb() dsb() Data synchronization barrier - system dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb(). Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent memories. The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the CPU and a device. It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb(). Most architectures don't provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without resorting to the same mechanism used in mb(). As such there isn't much to be gained in trying to define such a function.

arch: Cleanup read_barrier_depends() and comments

2014-12-12T02:15:05Z

This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and smp_read_barrier_depends. In multiple spots in the kernel headers read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty do/while. With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header. In addition I moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the macro, alpha and blackfin.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky: "The most notable change for this pull request is the ftrace rework from Heiko. It brings a small performance improvement and the ground work to support a new gcc option to replace the mcount blocks with a single nop. Two new s390 specific system calls are added to emulate user space mmio for PCI, an artifact of the how PCI memory is accessed. Two patches for the memory management with changes to common code. For KVM mm_forbids_zeropage is added which disables the empty zero page for an mm that is used by a KVM process. And an optimization, pmdp_get_and_clear_full is added analog to ptep_get_and_clear_full. Some micro optimization for the cmpxchg and the spinlock code.
