* /proc/kcore: fix seekingDave Anderson2011-01-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 34aacb2920 ("procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/kcore") broke seeking on /proc/kcore. This changes it back to use default_llseek in order to restore the original behavior. The problem with generic_file_llseek is that it only allows seeks up to inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes, which is 2GB-1 on procfs, where the memory file offset values in the /proc/kcore PT_LOAD segments may exceed or start beyond that offset value. A similar revert was made for /proc/vmcore.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /proc/kcore has no llseek and then falls down to use default_llseek. This is racy against read_kcore() that directly manipulates fpos but it doesn't hold the bkl there so using it in llseek doesn't protect anything. Let's use generic_file_llseek() instead.

* | include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently the size of /proc/kcore which can be read by 'ls -l' is 0. But it's not the correct value. On x86-64, ls -l shows ... root root 140737486266368 2009-09-17 10:29 /proc/kcore Then, 7FFFFFFE02000. This comes from vmalloc area's size. (*) This shows "core" size, not memory size. This patch shows the size by updating "size" field in struct proc_dir_entry. Later, lookup routine will create inode and fill inode->i_size based on this value. Then, this has a problem. - Once inode is cached, inode->i_size will never be updated. Then, this patch is not memory-hotplug-aware. To update inode->i_size, we have to know dentry or inode. But there is no way to lookup them by inside kernel. Hmmm.... Next patch will try it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> pointed out that vmemmap range is not included in KCORE_RAM, KCORE_VMALLOC .... This adds KCORE_VMEMMAP if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is used. By this, vmemmap can be readable via /proc/kcore Because it's not vmalloc area, vread/vwrite cannot be used. But the range is static against the memory layout, this patch handles vmemmap area by the same scheme with physical memory. This patch assumes SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP range is not in VMALLOC range.

* kcore: use registerd physmem informationKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-09-231-12/+167
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add(). In usual, - range of physical memory - range of vmalloc area - text, etc... are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles. It doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary memory holes. Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory hotplug. Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on /proc/iomem.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some 64bit arch has special segment for mapping kernel text. It should be entried to /proc/kcore in addtion to direct-linear-map, vmalloc area. This patch unifies KCORE_TEXT entry scattered under x86 and ia64. I'm not familiar with other archs (mips has its own even after this patch) but range of [_stext ..._end) is a valid area of text and it's not in direct-map area, defining CONFIG_ARCH_PROC_KCORE_TEXT is only a necessary thing to do.

* [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven2006-03-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
