2013-11-25powerpc/signals: Improved mark VSX not saved with small contexts fixMichael Neuling
In a recent patch: commit c13f20ac48328b05cd3b8c19e31ed6c132b44b42 Author: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> powerpc/signals: Mark VSX not saved with small contexts We fixed an issue but an improved solution was later discussed after the patch was merged. Firstly, this patch doesn't handle the 64bit signals case, which could also hit this issue (but has never been reported). Secondly, the original patch isn't clear what MSR VSX should be set to. The new approach below always clears the MSR VSX bit (to indicate no VSX is in the context) and sets it only in the specific case where VSX is available (ie. when VSX has been used and the signal context passed has space to provide the state). This reverts the original patch and replaces it with the improved solution. It also adds a 64 bit version.

2013-11-25powerpc/kdump: Adding symbols in vmcoreinfo to facilitate dump filteringHari Bathini
When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP option is used in kernel, makedumpfile fails to filter vmcore dump as it fails to do vmemmap translations. So far dump filtering on ppc64 never had to deal with vmemmap addresses seperately as vmemmap regions where mapped in zone normal. But with the inclusion of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP config option in kernel, this vmemmap address translation support becomes necessary for dump filtering. For vmemmap adress translation, few kernel symbols are needed by dump filtering tool. This patch adds those symbols to vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for filtering the kernel dump. Tested this changes successfully with makedumpfile tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside zone normal.

2013-11-21powerpc/signals: Mark VSX not saved with small contextsMichael Neuling
The VSX MSR bit in the user context indicates if the context contains VSX state. Currently we set this when the process has touched VSX at any stage. Unfortunately, if the user has not provided enough space to save the VSX state, we can't save it but we currently still set the MSR VSX bit. This patch changes this to clear the MSR VSX bit when the user doesn't provide enough space. This indicates that there is no valid VSX state in the user context. This is needed to support get/set/make/swapcontext for applications that use VSX but only provide a small context. For example, getcontext in glibc provides a smaller context since the VSX registers don't need to be saved over the glibc function call. But since the program calling getcontext may have used VSX, the kernel currently says the VSX state is valid when it's not. If the returned context is then used in setcontext (ie. a small context without VSX but with MSR VSX set), the kernel will refuse the context. This situation has been reported by the glibc community.

2013-11-21powerpc: Make cpu_to_chip_id() available when SMP=nMichael Ellerman
Up until now we have only used cpu_to_chip_id() in the topology code, which is only used on SMP builds. However my recent commit a4da0d5 "Implement arch_get_random_long/int() for powernv" added a usage when SMP=n, breaking the build. Move cpu_to_chip_id() into prom.c so it is available for SMP=n builds. We would move the extern to prom.h, but that breaks the include in topology.h. Instead we leave it in smp.h, but move it out of the CONFIG_SMP #ifdef. We also need to include asm/smp.h in rng.c, because the linux version skips asm/smp.h on UP. What a mess.

After some digging, it seems that it is caused by commit 4886c399da as dma_mask pointer in viodev->dev is not set, so in dma_set_mask_and_coherent(), dma_set_coherent_mask() is not called because dma_set_mask(), which is dma_set_mask_pSeriesLP() returned EIO.

Commit fba2369e6ceb (mm: use vm_unmapped_area() on powerpc architecture) has a bug in slice_scan_available() where we compare an unsigned long (high_slices) against a shifted int. As a result, comparisons against the top 32 bits of high_slices (representing the top 32TB) always returns 0 and the top of our mmap region is clamped at 32TB This also breaks mmap randomisation since the randomised address is always up near the top of the address space and it gets clamped down to 32TB.

2013-11-21powerpc: Wrong DWARF CFI in the kernel vdso for little-endian / ELFv2Ulrich Weigand
I've finally tracked down why my CR signal-unwind test case still fails on little-endian. The problem turned to be that the kernel installs a signal trampoline in the vDSO, and provides a DWARF CFI record for that trampoline. This CFI describes the save location for CR: rsave (70, 38*RSIZE + (RSIZE - CRSIZE)) which is correct for big-endian, but points to the wrong word on little-endian. This is wrong no matter which ABI. In addition, for the ELFv2 ABI, we should not only provide a CFI record for register 70 (cr2), but for all CR fields separately. Strictly speaking, I guess this would mean providing two separate vDSO images, one for ELFv1 processes and one for ELFv2 processes (or maybe playing some tricks with conditional DWARF expressions). However, having CFI records for the other CR fields in ELFv1 is not actually wrong, they just will be ignored. So it seems the simplest fix would be just to always provide CFI for all the fields.

There was a lot of work on the PPC side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view.

Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO. This helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions.

Pull DMA mask updates from Russell King: "This series cleans up the handling of DMA masks in a lot of drivers, fixing some bugs as we go. Some of the more serious errors include: - drivers which only set their coherent DMA mask if the attempt to set the streaming mask fails. - drivers which test for a NULL dma mask pointer, and then set the dma mask pointer to a location in their module .data section - which will cause problems if the module is reloaded. To counter these, I have introduced two helper functions: - dma_set_mask_and_coherent() takes care of setting both the streaming and coherent masks at the same time, with the correct error handling as specified by the API. - dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() which resolves the problem of drivers forcefully setting DMA masks. This is more a marker for future work to further clean these locations up - the code which creates the devices really should be initialising these, but to fix that in one go along with this change could potentially be very disruptive. The last thing this series does is prise away some of Linux's addition to "DMA addresses are physical addresses and RAM always starts at zero". We have ARM LPAE systems where all system memory is above 4GB physical, hence having DMA masks interpreted by (eg) the block layers as describing physical addresses in the range 0..DMAMASK fails on these platforms. Santosh Shilimkar addresses this in this series; the patches were copied to the appropriate people multiple times but were ignored. Fixing this also gets rid of some ARM weirdness in the setup of the max*pfn variables, and brings ARM into line with every other Linux architecture as far as those go" * 'for-linus-dma-masks' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: (52 commits) ARM: 7805/1: mm: change max*pfn to include the physical offset of memory ARM: 7797/1: mmc: Use dma_max_pfn(dev) helper for bounce_limit calculations ARM: 7796/1: scsi: Use dma_max_pfn(dev) helper for bounce_limit calculations ARM: 7795/1: mm: dma-mapping: Add dma_max_pfn(dev) helper function ARM: 7794/1: block: Rename parameter dma_mask to max_addr for blk_queue_bounce_limit() ARM: DMA-API: better handing of DMA masks for coherent allocations ARM: 7857/1: dma: imx-sdma: setup dma mask DMA-API: firmware/google/gsmi.c: avoid direct access to DMA masks DMA-API: dcdbas: update DMA mask handing DMA-API: dma: edma.c: no need to explicitly initialize DMA masks DMA-API: usb: musb: use platform_device_register_full() to avoid directly messing with dma masks DMA-API: crypto: remove last references to 'static struct device *dev' DMA-API: crypto: fix ixp4xx crypto platform device support DMA-API: others: use dma_set_coherent_mask() DMA-API: staging: use dma_set_coherent_mask() DMA-API: usb: use new dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() DMA-API: usb: use dma_set_coherent_mask() DMA-API: parport: parport_pc.c: use dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() DMA-API: net: octeon: use dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() DMA-API: net: nxp/lpc_eth: use dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() ...

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) The addition of nftables. No longer will we need protocol aware firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace. At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata (arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions. Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as fundamental operations. For example sets are supports, and therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate byte codes to do such lookups. Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel. Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating portions of the ruleset. In the existing netfilter implementation, one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and this is very expensive. Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the new stuff. Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have worked so hard on this. 2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things. In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test cases are added. 3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet and Yang Yingliang. 4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin Sujir. 5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet, Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng. 6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary control message data, much like other socket option attributes. From Francesco Fusco. 7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option. From Eric Dumazet. 8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet. 9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we can do it for connected UDP sockets too. Implementation from Shawn Bohrer. 10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux performance for listening sockets. With the main goals being able to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the listening lock contention. From Eric Dumazet. 11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the RCU usage to even more locations. From Ding Tianhong and Wang Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav Falico. 12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow segmentation offloading over tunnels. From Eric Dumazet. 13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as well as syncookies. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. The key fundamental operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys. Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and our generic flow dissector. 14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to explicitly set it to NULL any more. Many drivers have been cleaned up in this way, from Jingoo Han. 15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann. 16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled. Also from Daniel Borkmann. 17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces using the interface MTU value. This helps avoid PMTU attacks, particularly on DNS servers. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal (re-)implementation in virtio-net.
