git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro: "All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick. A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one): - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign. We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread() or kernel_execve(): kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do successful do_execve() before returning. kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to do transition to user mode anymore. As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely architecture-independent. - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/ copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump. - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in kernel/fork.c now." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (113 commits) do_coredump(): get rid of pt_regs argument print_fatal_signal(): get rid of pt_regs argument ptrace_signal(): get rid of unused arguments get rid of ptrace_signal_deliver() arguments new helper: signal_pt_regs() unify default ptrace_signal_deliver flagday: kill pt_regs argument of do_fork() death to idle_regs() don't pass regs to copy_process() flagday: don't pass regs to copy_thread() bfin: switch to generic vfork, get rid of pointless wrappers xtensa: switch to generic clone() openrisc: switch to use of generic fork and clone unicore32: switch to generic clone(2) score: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone c6x: sanitize copy_thread(), get rid of clone(2) wrapper, switch to generic clone() take sys_fork/sys_vfork/sys_clone prototypes to linux/syscalls.h mn10300: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone h8300: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone tile: switch to generic clone() ...

2012-12-05arm64: generic timer: use virtual counter instead of physical at EL0Will Deacon
We want to use the virtual counter at EL0, as the physical counter may not track the current clocksource for guests running under a hypervisor. This patch updates the vdso and generic timer driver to use the virtual counter. The kernel EL2 entry code is also updated to ensure that the virtual offset is initialised to zero.

2012-12-05arm64: vdso: defer shifting of nanosecond component of timespecWill Deacon
Shifting the nanosecond component of the computed timespec early can lead to sub-ns inaccuracies when using the truncated value as input to further arithmetic for things like conversions to monotonic time.

2012-12-05arm64: vdso: check sequence counter even for coarse realtime operationsWill Deacon
When returning coarse realtime values from clock_gettime, we must still check the sequence counter to ensure that the kernel does not update the vdso datapage whilst we are loading the coarse timespec as this could potentially result in time appearing to go backwards. This patch delays the coarse realtime check until after we have loaded successfully from the vdso datapage. This does mean that we always load the wtm timespec, but conditionalising the load and adding an extra sequence test is unlikely to buy us anything other than messy code, particularly as the sequence test implies a read barrier.

2012-12-05arm64: vdso: fix clocksource mask when extracting bottom 56 bitsWill Deacon
The generic timer clocksource has 56 bits of precision and as such must be masked appropriately after we have read it. The current mask generated by a movn instruction is off by 4 bits, so we accidentally include the top 4 bits in the final value. This patch fixes the broken mask.

2012-12-03arm64: use new common dtc ruleStephen Warren
The current rules have the .dtb files build in a different directory from the .dts files. This patch changes arm64 to use the generic dtb rule which builds .dtb files in the same directory as the source .dts.

2012-12-02open*(2) compat fixes (s390, arm64)Al Viro
The usual rules for open()/openat()/open_by_handle_at() are 1) native 32bit - don't force O_LARGEFILE in flags 2) native 64bit - force O_LARGEFILE in flags 3) compat on 64bit host - as for native 32bit 4) native 32bit ABI for 64bit system (mips/n32, x86/x32) - as for native 64bit There are only two exceptions - s390 compat has open() forcing O_LARGEFILE and arm64 compat has open_by_handle_at() doing the same thing. The same binaries on native host (s390/31 and arm resp.) will *not* force O_LARGEFILE, so IMO both are emulation bugs. Objections? The fix is obvious...

2012-11-23arm64: signal: push the unwinding prologue on the signal stackWill Deacon
To allow debuggers to unwind through signal frames, we create a fake stack unwinding prologue containing the link register and frame pointer of the interrupted context. The signal frame is then offset by 16 bytes to make room for the two saved registers which are pushed onto the frame of the *interrupted* context, rather than placed directly above the signal stack. This doesn't work when an alternative signal stack is set up for a SEGV handler, which is raised in response to RLIMIT_STACK being reached. In this case, we try to push the unwinding prologue onto the full stack and subsequently take a fault which we fail to resolve, causing setup_return to return -EFAULT and handle_signal to force_sigsegv on the current task. This patch fixes the problem by including the unwinding prologue as part of the rt_sigframe definition, which is populated during setup_sigframe, ensuring that it always ends up on the signal stack.

Commit f483a853b0b9 ("arm64: mm: fix booting on systems with no memory below 4GB") sets max_dma32 to the minimum of the maximum pfn and MAX_DMA32_PFN. This value is later used as the base of the NORMAL zone, which is incorrect when MAX_DMA32_PFN is below the minimum pfn (i.e. all memory is above 4GB). This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that max_dma32 is always set to the end of the DMA32 zone.

2012-11-13tracing,x86: Add a TSC trace_clockDavid Sharp
In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace, add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously interlaced. Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large timestamp values. v2: Move arch-specific bits out of generic code. v3: Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups v7: Generic arch bits in Kbuild.

struct user_fp does not exist for arm64, so use struct user_fpsimd_state instead for the ELF core dumping definitions. Furthermore, since we use regset-based core dumping, we do not need definitions for dump_task_regs and dump_fpu.

2012-11-08arm64: compat: select CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSIONWill Deacon
Commit c1d7e01d7877 ("ipc: use Kconfig options for __ARCH_WANT_[COMPAT_]IPC_PARSE_VERSION") replaced the __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION token with a corresponding Kconfig option instead. This patch updates arm64 to use the latter, rather than #define an unused token. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-11-08arm64: perf: use architected event for CPU cycle counterWill Deacon
We currently use a fake event encoding (0xFF) to indicate CPU cycles so that we don't waste an event counter and can target the hardware cycle counter instead. The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other event. This patch uses the architected cycle counter encoding (0x11) so that we avoid potentially clashing with event encodings on future CPU implementations.
