* locking, ARM: Annotate low level hw locks as rawThomas Gleixner2011-09-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Annotate the low level hardware locks which must not be preempted. In mainline this change documents the low level nature of the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep and Sparse checking will work as usual.

* ARM: 6490/1: MM: bugfix: initialize spinlock for init_mm.contextMyungJoo Ham2010-11-231-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | init_mm used at kernel/sched.c:idle_task_exit() has spin_lock (init_mm.context.id_lock) that is not initialized when spin_lock/unlock is called at an ARM machine. Note that mm_struct.context.id_lock is usually initialized except for the instance of init_mm at linux/arch/arm/mm/context.c Not initializing this spinlock incurs "BUG: pinlock bad magic" warning when spinlock debug is enabled. We have observed such instances when testing PM in S5PC210 machines.

* ARM: 5905/1: ARM: Global ASID allocation on SMPCatalin Marinas2010-02-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current ASID allocation algorithm doesn't ensure the notification of the other CPUs when the ASID rolls over. This may lead to two processes using the same ASID (but different generation) or multiple threads of the same process using different ASIDs. This patch adds the broadcasting of the ASID rollover event to the other CPUs. To avoid a race on multiple CPUs modifying "cpu_last_asid" during the handling of the broadcast, the ASID numbering now starts at "smp_processor_id() + 1". At rollover, the cpu_last_asid will be set to NR_CPUS. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linuxDavid Howells2009-01-081-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems: (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of shmat's (and forks) done. (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another process or a dead process. A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure is discarded as it's no longer required. This patch makes the following additional changes: (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead, each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it. When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero. (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages. (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is appended to the sort key. (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list. (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if necessary. (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different virtual addresses as under MMU-mode. (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode. (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits that aren't actually mapped anywhere. (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not anonymous. These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).
