As arm64 and arc have no special implementations for !CONFIG_SMP, mutual exclusion doesn't seem to rely on preemption. Let's make it clear in the comments that preemption doesn't have to be disabled when accessing user space in the futex code, so we can remove preempt_disable() from pagefault_disable().

The !CONFIG_SMP implementation of futex_atomic_op_inuser() seems to rely on disabled preemption to guarantee mutual exclusion. From commit e589ed23 ("[ARM] 5218/1: arm: improved futex support"): "For UP it's enough to disable preemption to ensure mutual exclusion..." From the code itself: "!SMP, we can work around lack of atomic ops by disabling preemption" Let's make this explicit, to prepare for pagefault_disable() not touching preemption anymore.

The !CONFIG_SMP implementation of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() requires preemption to be disabled to guarantee mutual exclusion. Let's make this explicit. This patch is based on a patch by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior on the -rt branch. Reviewed-and-tested-by:

Let's explicitly disable/enable preemption in the !CONFIG_SMP version of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), to prepare for pagefault_disable() not touching preemption anymore. This is needed for this function to be callable from both, atomic and non-atomic context. Otherwise we might break mutual exclusion when relying on a get_user()/ put_user() implementation.

Now that the pagefault disabled counter is in place, we can replace the in_atomic() check by a pagefault_disabled() checks. Reviewed-and-tested-by:

David Hildenbrand authored
Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers. Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly disabled). In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults. With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs. We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling might_sleep(). Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this is needed. faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files. This patch is based on a patch from Thomas Gleixner. Reviewed-and-tested-by:

k(un)map_coherent relies on pagefault_disable() to also disable preemption. Let's make this explicit, to prepare for pagefault_disable() not touching preemption anymore. This patch is based on a patch by Yang Shi on the -rt tree: "k{un}map_coherent are just called when cpu_has_dc_aliases == 1 with VIPT cache. However, actually, the most modern MIPS processors have PIPT dcache without dcache alias issue. In such case, k{un}map_atomic will be called with preempt enabled." Reviewed-and-tested-by: -

The existing code relies on pagefault_disable() implicitly disabling preemption, so that no schedule will happen between kmap_atomic() and kunmap_atomic(). Let's make this explicit, to prepare for pagefault_disable() not touching preemption anymore. Reviewed-and-tested-by:

In general, non-atomic variants of user access functions must not sleep if pagefaults are disabled. Let's update all relevant comments in uaccess code. This also reflects the might_sleep() checks in might_fault(). Reviewed-and-tested-by:

David Hildenbrand authored
Commit 662bbcb2 ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable()") removed might_sleep() checks for all user access code (that uses might_fault()). The reason was to disable wrong "sleep in atomic" warnings in the following scenario: pagefault_disable() rc = copy_to_user(...) pagefault_enable() Which is valid, as pagefault_disable() increments the preempt counter and therefore disables the pagefault handler. copy_to_user() will not sleep and return an error code if a page is not available. However, as all might_sleep() checks are removed, CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP would no longer detect the following scenario: spin_lock(&lock); rc = copy_to_user(...) spin_unlock(&lock) If the kernel is compiled with preemption turned on, preempt_disable() will make in_atomic() detect disabled preemption. The fault handler would correctly never sleep on user access. However, with preemption turned off, preempt_disable() is usually a NOP (with !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT), therefore in_atomic() will not be able to detect disabled preemption nor disabled pagefaults. The fault handler could sleep. We really want to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP checks for user access functions again, otherwise we can end up with horrible deadlocks. Root of all evil is that pagefault_disable() acts almost as preempt_disable(), depending on preemption being turned on/off. As we now have pagefault_disabled(), we can use it to distinguish whether user acces functions might sleep. Convert might_fault() into a makro that calls __might_fault(), to allow proper file + line messages in case of a might_sleep() warning. Reviewed-and-tested-by:

Until now, pagefault_disable()/pagefault_enabled() used the preempt count to track whether in an environment with pagefaults disabled (can be queried via in_atomic()). This patch introduces a separate counter in task_struct to count the level of pagefault_disable() calls. We'll keep manipulating the preempt count to retain compatibility to existing pagefault handlers. It is now possible to verify whether in a pagefault_disable() envionment by calling pagefault_disabled(). In contrast to in_atomic() it will not be influenced by preempt_enable()/preempt_disable(). This patch is based on a patch from Ingo Molnar. Reviewed-and-tested-by:

__schedule() disables preemption and some of its callers (the preempt_schedule*() family) also set PREEMPT_ACTIVE. So we have two preempt_count() modifications that could be performed at once. Lets remove the preemption disablement from __schedule() and pull this responsibility to its callers in order to optimize preempt_count() operations in a single place. Suggested-by:

Frederic Weisbecker authored
preempt_mask.h defines all the preempt_count semantics and related symbols: preempt, softirq, hardirq, nmi, preempt active, need resched, etc... preempt.h defines the accessors and mutators of preempt_count. But there is a messy dependency game around those two header files: * preempt_mask.h includes preempt.h in order to access preempt_count() * preempt_mask.h defines all preempt_count semantic and symbols except PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED that is needed by asm/preempt.h Thus we need to define it from preempt.h, right before including asm/preempt.h, instead of defining it to preempt_mask.h with the other preempt_count symbols. Therefore the preempt_count semantics happen to be spread out. * We plan to introduce preempt_active_[enter,exit]() to consolidate preempt_schedule*() code. But we'll need to access both preempt_count mutators (preempt_count_add()) and preempt_count symbols (PREEMPT_ACTIVE, PREEMPT_OFFSET). The usual place to define preempt operations is in preempt.h but then we'll need symbols in preempt_mask.h which already includes preempt.h. So we end up with a ressource circle dependency. Lets merge preempt_mask.h into preempt.h to solve these dependency issues. This way we gather semantic symbols and operation definition of preempt_count in a single file. This is a dumb copy-paste merge. Further merge re-arrangments are performed in a subsequent patch to ease review. Signed-off-by:

Two watchdog changes that came through different trees had a non conflicting conflict, that is, one changed the semantics of a variable but no actual code conflict happened. So the merge appeared fine, but the resulting code did not behave as expected. Commit 195daf66 ("watchdog: enable the new user interface of the watchdog mechanism") changes the semantics of watchdog_user_enabled, which thereafter is only used by the functions introduced by b3738d29 ("watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions"). There further appears to be a distinct lack of serialization between setting and using watchdog_enabled, so perhaps we should wrap the {en,dis}able_all() things in watchdog_proc_mutex. This patch fixes a s2r failure reported by Michal; which I cannot readily explain. But this does make the code internally consistent again. Reported-and-tested-by:

Brian Norris authored
In commit 8ff16cf7 ("Documentation: devicetree: m25p80: add "nor-jedec" binding"), we added a generic "nor-jedec" binding to catch all mostly-compatible SPI NOR flash which can be detected via the READ ID opcode (0x9F). This was discussed and reviewed at the time, however objections have come up since then as part of this discussion: http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150511224646.GJ32500@ld-irv-0074 It seems the parties involved agree that "jedec,spi-nor" does a better job of capturing the fact that this is SPI-specific, not just any NOR flash. This binding was only merged for v4.1-rc1, so it's still OK to change the naming. At the same time, let's move the documentation to a better name. Next up: stop referring to code (drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c) from the documentation. Signed-off-by:
