Resource definitions that just define start, end and flags = IORESOURCE_MEM or IORESOURCE_IRQ (with start=end) are quite common. So introduce a shortcut for them. For completeness add macros for IORESOURCE_DMA and IORESOURCE_IO, too and also make available a set of macros to specify named resources of all types which are less common. Signed-off-by:

Until now UML had no x86_64 vDSO. So glibc always used the vsyscall page for gettimeday() and friends. Calls to gettimeday() returned falsely the host time and confused some programs. This patch adds a vDSO which turns all __vdso_* calls into a system call so that UML can trap them. As glibc still uses the vsyscall page for static binaries this patch improves the situation only for dynamic binaries. Signed-off-by:

Commit 0954828f ("kconfig: replace KERNELVERSION usage by the mainmenu's prompt") made the kernel version disappear from the generated .config file when configuring for UML. As UML's Kconfig doesn't have a mainmenu, kconfig falls back to the default string "Linux Kernel Configuration". Add a suitable mainmenu to the main UML Kconfig file to fix this. Signed-off-by:

shmem_unuse_inode() and shmem_writepage() contain a little code to cope with pages inserted independently into the filecache, probably by a filesystem stacked on top of tmpfs, then fed to its ->readpage() or ->writepage(). Unionfs was indeed experimenting with working in that way three years ago, but I find no current examples: nowadays the stacking filesystems use vfs interfaces to the lower filesystem. It's now illegal: remove most of that code, adding some WARN_ON_ONCEs. Signed-off-by:

We can now simplify shmem_getpage_gfp(): there is no longer a dilemma of filepage passed in via shmem_readpage(), then swappage found, which must then be copied over to it. Although at first it's tempting to replace the **pagep arg by returning struct page *, that makes a mess of IS_ERR_OR_NULL(page)s in all the callers, so leave as is. Insert BUG_ON(!PageUptodate) when we find and lock page: some of the complication came from uninitialized pages inserted into filecache prior to readpage; but now we're in control, and only release pagelock on filecache once it's uptodate (if an error occurs in reading back from swap, the page remains in swapcache, never moved to filecache).

The prealloc_page handling in shmem_getpage_gfp() is unnecessarily complicated: first simplify that before going on to filepage/swappage. That's right, don't report ENOMEM when the preallocation fails: we may or may not need the page. But simply report ENOMEM once we find we do need it, instead of dropping lock, repeating allocation, unwinding on failure etc. And leave the out label on the fast path, don't goto. Fix something that looks like a bug but turns out not to be: set PageSwapBacked on prealloc_page before its mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), as the removed case was doing. That's important before adding to LRU (determines which LRU the page goes on), and does affect which path it takes through memcontrol.c, but in the end MEM_CGROUP_CHANGE_TYPE_ SHMEM is handled no differently from CACHE.

Remove that pernicious shmem_readpage() at last: the things we needed it for (splice, loop, sendfile, i915 GEM) are now fully taken care of by shmem_file_splice_read() and shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(). This removal clears the way for a simpler shmem_getpage_gfp(), since page is never passed in; but leave most of that cleanup until after. sys_readahead() and sys_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) will now EINVAL, instead of unexpectedly trying to read ahead on tmpfs: if that proves to be an issue for someone, then we can either arrange for them to return success instead, or try to implement async readahead on tmpfs.

Make shmem_getpage() a wrapper, passing mapping_gfp_mask() down to shmem_getpage_gfp(), which in turn passes gfp down to shmem_swp_alloc(). Change shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() to use shmem_getpage_gfp() in the CONFIG_SHMEM case; but leave tiny !SHMEM using read_cache_page_gfp(). Add a BUG_ON() in case anyone happens to call this on a non-shmem mapping; though we might later want to let that case route to read_cache_page_gfp(). It annoys me to have these two almost-redundant args, gfp and fault_type: I can't find a better way; but initialize fault_type only in shmem_fault(). Note that before, read_cache_page_gfp() was allocating i915_gem's pages with __GFP_NORETRY as intended; but the corresponding swap vector pages got allocated without it, leaving a small possibility of OOM.

Tidy up shmem_file_splice_read(): Remove readahead: okay, we could implement shmem readahead on swap, but have never done so before, swap being the slow exceptional path. Use shmem_getpage() instead of find_or_create_page() plus ->readpage(). Remove several comments: sorry, I found them more distracting than helpful, and this will not be the reference version of splice_read(). Signed-off-by:

I haven't reproduced it myself but the fail scenario is that on such machines (notably ARM and some embedded powerpc), if you manage to hit that futex path on a writable page whose dirty bit has gone from the PTE, you'll livelock inside the kernel from what I can tell. It will go in a loop of trying the atomic access, failing, trying gup to "fix it up", getting succcess from gup, go back to the atomic access, failing again because dirty wasn't fixed etc... So I think you essentially hang in the kernel. The scenario is probably rare'ish because affected architecture are embedded and tend to not swap much (if at all) so we probably rarely hit the case where dirty is missing or young is missing, but I think Shan has a piece of SW that can reliably reproduce it using a shared writable mapping & fork or something like that. On archs who use SW tracking of dirty & young, a page without dirty is effectively mapped read-only and a page without young unaccessible in the PTE. Additionally, some architectures might lazily flush the TLB when relaxing write protection (by doing only a local flush), and expect a fault to invalidate the stale entry if it's still present on another processor. The futex code assumes that if the "in_atomic()" access -EFAULT's, it can "fix it up" by causing get_user_pages() which would then be equivalent to taking the fault. However that isn't the case. get_user_pages() will not call handle_mm_fault() in the case where the PTE seems to have the right permissions, regardless of the dirty and young state. It will eventually update those bits ... in the struct page, but not in the PTE. Additionally, it will not handle the lazy TLB flushing that can be required by some architectures in the fault case. Basically, gup is the wrong interface for the job. The patch provides a more appropriate one which boils down to just calling handle_mm_fault() since what we are trying to do is simulate a real page fault. The futex code currently attempts to write to user memory within a pagefault disabled section, and if that fails, tries to fix it up using get_user_pages(). This doesn't work on archs where the dirty and young bits are maintained by software, since they will gate access permission in the TLB, and will not be updated by gup(). In addition, there's an expectation on some archs that a spurious write fault triggers a local TLB flush, and that is missing from the picture as well. I decided that adding those "features" to gup() would be too much for this already too complex function, and instead added a new simpler fixup_user_fault() which is essentially a wrapper around handle_mm_fault() which the futex code can call.
