The code enabled by the ARM_CPU_SUSPEND config option is used by kernel subsystems for purposes that go beyond system suspend so its config entry should be augmented to take more default options into account and avoid forcing its selection to prevent dependencies override. To achieve this goal, this patch reworks the ARM_CPU_SUSPEND config entry and updates its default config value (by adding the BL_SWITCHER option to it) and its dependencies (ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE), so that the symbol is still selected by default by the subsystems requiring it and at the same time enforcing the dependencies correctly.

DMA allocations might be subject to certain requirements specific to the hardware using the buffers, such as availability of kernel mapping (for contents fix-ups in the driver). The only entity that knows them is the driver, so it must share this knowledge with vb2-dc. This patch extends the alloc_ctx initialization interface to let the driver specify DMA attrs, which are then stored inside the allocation context and will be used for all allocations with that context. As a side effect, all dma_*_coherent() calls are turned into dma_*_attrs() calls, because the attributes need to be carried over through all DMA operations.

If we know that TLB efficiency will not be an issue when memory is accessed then it's not terribly important to allocate big chunks of memory. The whole point of allocating the big chunks was that it would make TLB usage efficient. As Marek Szyprowski indicated: Please note that mapping memory with larger pages significantly improves performance, especially when IOMMU has a little TLB cache. This can be easily observed when multimedia devices do processing of RGB data with 90/270 degree rotation Image rotation is distinctly an operation that needs to bounce around through memory, so it makes sense that TLB efficiency is important there. Video decoding, on the other hand, is a fairly sequential operation. During video decoding it's not expected that we'll be jumping all over memory. Decoding video is also pretty heavy and the TLB misses aren't a huge deal. Presumably most HW video acceleration users of dma-mapping will not care about huge pages and will set DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES. Allocating big chunks of memory is quite expensive, especially if we're doing it repeadly and memory is full. In one (out of tree) usage model it is common that arm_iommu_alloc_attrs() is called 16 times in a row, each one trying to allocate 4 MB of memory. This is called whenever the system encounters a new video, which could easily happen while the memory system is stressed out. In fact, on certain social media websites that auto-play video and have infinite scrolling, it's quite common to see not just one of these 16x4MB allocations but 2 or 3 right after another. Asking the system even to do a small amount of extra work to give us big chunks in this case is just not a good use of time. Allocating big chunks of memory is also expensive indirectly. Even if we ask the system not to do ANY extra work to allocate _our_ memory, we're still potentially eating up all big chunks in the system. Presumably there are other users in the system that aren't quite as flexible and that actually need these big chunks. By eating all the big chunks we're causing extra work for the rest of the system. We also may start making other memory allocations fail. While the system may be robust to such failures (as is the case with dwc2 USB trying to allocate buffers for Ethernet data and with WiFi trying to allocate buffers for WiFi data), it is yet another big performance hit.

This patch adds the DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES attribute to the DMA-mapping subsystem. This attribute can be used as a hint to the DMA-mapping subsystem that it's likely not worth it to try to allocate large pages behind the scenes. Large pages are likely to make an IOMMU TLB work more efficiently but may not be worth it. See the Documentation contained in this patch for more details about this attribute and when to use it. Note that the name of the hint (DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES) is loosely based on the name MADV_NOHUGEPAGE. Just as there is MADV_NOHUGEPAGE vs. MADV_HUGEPAGE we could also add an "opposite" attribute to DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES. Without having the "opposite" attribute the lack of DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES means "use your best judgement about whether to use small pages or large pages".

The __iommu_alloc_buffer() is expected to be called to allocate pretty sizeable buffers. Upon simple tests of video I saw it trying to allocate 4,194,304 bytes. The function tries to allocate large chunks in order to optimize IOMMU TLB usage. The current function is very, very slow. One problem is the way it keeps trying and trying to allocate big chunks. Imagine a very fragmented memory that has 4M free but no contiguous pages at all. Further imagine allocating 4M (1024 pages). We'll do the following memory allocations: - For page 1: - Try to allocate order 10 (no retry) - Try to allocate order 9 (no retry) - ... - Try to allocate order 0 (with retry, but not needed) - For page 2: - Try to allocate order 9 (no retry) - Try to allocate order 8 (no retry) - ... - Try to allocate order 0 (with retry, but not needed) - ... - ... Total number of calls to alloc() calls for this case is: sum(int(math.log(i, 2)) + 1 for i in range(1, 1025)) => 9228 The above is obviously worse case, but given how slow alloc can be we really want to try to avoid even somewhat bad cases. I timed the old code with a device under memory pressure and it wasn't hard to see it take more than 120 seconds to allocate 4 megs of memory! (NOTE: testing was done on kernel 3.14, so possibly mainline would behave differently). A second problem is that allocating big chunks under memory pressure when we don't need them is just not a great idea anyway unless we really need them. We can make due pretty well with smaller chunks so it's probably wise to leave bigger chunks for other users once memory pressure is on. Let's adjust the allocation like this: 1. If a big chunk fails, stop trying to hard and bump down to lower order allocations. 2. Don't try useless orders. The whole point of big chunks is to optimize the TLB and it can really only make use of 2M, 1M, 64K and 4K sizes. We'll still tend to eat up a bunch of big chunks, but that might be the right answer for some users. A future patch could possibly add a new DMA_ATTR that would let the caller decide that TLB optimization isn't important and that we should use smaller chunks. Presumably this would be a sane strategy for some callers.

The tmp variable is used twice: first to pose as a register containing a value of zero, and then to provide a temporary register that initially is zero and get added some value. But somehow gcc decides to split those two usages in different registers. Example code: u64 div64const1000(u64 x) { u32 y = 1000; do_div(x, y); return x; } Result: div64const1000: push {r4, r5, r6, r7, lr} mov lr, #0 mov r6, r0 mov r7, r1 adr r5, .L8 ldrd r4, [r5] mov r1, lr umull r2, r3, r4, r6 cmn r2, r4 adcs r3, r3, r5 adc r2, lr, #0 umlal r3, r2, r5, r6 umlal r3, r1, r4, r7 mov r3, #0 adds r2, r1, r2 adc r3, r3, #0 umlal r2, r3, r5, r7 lsr r0, r2, #9 lsr r1, r3, #9 orr r0, r0, r3, lsl #23 pop {r4, r5, r6, r7, pc} .align 3 .L8: .word -1924145349 .word -2095944041 Full kernel build size: text data bss dec hex filename 13663814 1553940 351368 15569122 ed90e2 vmlinux Here the two instances of 'tmp' are assigned to r1 and lr. To avoid that, let's mark the first 'tmp' usage in __arch_xprod_64() with a "+r" constraint even if the register is not written to, so to create a dependency for the second usage with the effect of enforcing a single temporary register throughout. Result: div64const1000: push {r4, r5, r6, r7} movs r3, #0 adr r5, .L8 ldrd r4, [r5] umull r6, r7, r4, r0 cmn r6, r4 adcs r7, r7, r5 adc r6, r3, #0 umlal r7, r6, r5, r0 umlal r7, r3, r4, r1 mov r7, #0 adds r6, r3, r6 adc r7, r7, #0 umlal r6, r7, r5, r1 lsr r0, r6, #9 lsr r1, r7, #9 orr r0, r0, r7, lsl #23 pop {r4, r5, r6, r7} bx lr .align 3 .L8: .word -1924145349 .word -2095944041 text data bss dec hex filename 13663438 1553940 351368 15568746 ed8f6a vmlinux This time 'tmp' is assigned to r3 and used throughout. However, by being assigned to r3, that blocks usage of the r2-r3 double register slot for 64-bit values, forcing more registers to be spilled on the stack. Let's try to help it by forcing 'tmp' to the caller-saved ip register.

The use of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is generally seen as an essential part of kernel self-protection: http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2015/11/30/13 Additionally, its name has grown to mean things beyond just rodata. To get ARM closer to this, we ought to rearrange the names of the configs that control how the kernel protects its memory. What was called CONFIG_ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS is realy doing the work that other architectures call CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This redefines CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to actually do the bulk of the ROing (and NXing). In the place of the old CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, use CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA, since that's what the option does: adds section alignment for making rodata explicitly NX, as arm does not split the page tables like arm64 does without _ALIGN_RODATA. Also adds human readable names to the sections so I could more easily debug my typos, and makes CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA default "y" for CPU_V7. Results in /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables for each config state: # CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is not set ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0x80000000-0x80900000 9M RW x SHD 0x80900000-0xa0000000 503M RW NX SHD CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0x80000000-0x80100000 1M RW NX SHD 0x80100000-0x80700000 6M ro x SHD 0x80700000-0x80a00000 3M ro NX SHD 0x80a00000-0xa0000000 502M RW NX SHD CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y # CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is not set ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0x80000000-0x80100000 1M RW NX SHD 0x80100000-0x80a00000 9M ro x SHD 0x80a00000-0xa0000000 502M RW NX SHD Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Laura Abbott <labbott@fedoraproject.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Code run via soft_restart() is run with the MMU disabled, so we need to pass the identity map physical address rather than the address obtained from virt_to_phys().

Make virt_to_idmap() return an unsigned long rather than phys_addr_t. Returning phys_addr_t here makes no sense, because the definition of virt_to_idmap() is that it shall return a physical address which maps identically with the virtual address. Since virtual addresses are limited to 32-bit, identity mapped physical addresses are as well. Almost all users already had an implicit narrowing cast to unsigned long so let's make this official and part of this interface.

arm: irq: l2c: do not print error in case of missing l2c from dtb In some architectures the L2 cache controller is integrated in the processor's block itself and it doesn't use any external cache controller. This means that an entry in the board's dtb related to the l2c is not necessary. Distinguish between error codes and do not print anything in case l2x0_of_init() doesn't find any L2C DTB entry and returns -ENODEV. This patch mutes the following error message: L2C: failed to init: -19 on boards like odroid-xu4, cortex A7/A15, which don't have external cache controller.

If we detect that there is nothing to do just set the flag and do not check if it was already set before. Races really do not matter. If the flag is set by any code then the shepherd will start dealing with the situation and reenable the vmstat workers when necessary again. Since commit 0eb77e98 ("vmstat: make vmstat_updater deferrable again and shut down on idle") quiet_vmstat might update cpu_stat_off and mark a particular cpu to be handled by vmstat_shepherd. This might trigger a VM_BUG_ON in vmstat_update because the work item might have been sleeping during the idle period and see the cpu_stat_off updated after the wake up. The VM_BUG_ON is therefore misleading and no more appropriate. Moreover it doesn't really suite any protection from real bugs because vmstat_shepherd will simply reschedule the vmstat_work anytime it sees a particular cpu set or vmstat_update would do the same from the worker context directly. Even when the two would race the result wouldn't be incorrect as the counters update is fully idempotent.

The extended flash address needs to be subtracted from bcm_tag flash image offsets. Move this value to the bcm_tag header file. Renamed define name to consistently use bcm963xx for flash layout which should be considered a property of the board and not the SoC (i.e. bcm63xx could theoretically be used on a board without CFE or any flash).

Use the common definition of the nvram structure from the header file include/linux/bcm963xx_nvram.h instead of maintaining a separate copy. Read the version 5 size of nvram data from memory and then call the new checksum verification function from the header file.

The header arch/mips/kvm/opcode.h defines a few extra opcodes which aren't in arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/inst.h. There's nothing KVM specific about them, so lets move them into inst.h where they belong and delete the header. Note that mfmcz_op is renamed to mfmc0_op to match the instruction set manual, and wait_op was already added to inst.h in commit b0a3eae2 ("MIPS: inst.h: define COP0 wait op"), merged in v3.16-rc1.

Most of the cache op codes defined in cacheops.h are split into a 2-bit cache identifier, and a 3-bit cache op code which does largely the same thing semantically regardless of the cache identifier. To allow the use of these definitions by KVM for decoding cache ops, break the definitions down into parts where it makes sense to do so, and add masks for the Cache and Op field within the cache op.
