csky: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in non-uapi headers

2025-10-19T06:54:51Z

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement).

mm: introduce memdesc_flags_t

2025-09-13T23:55:07Z

Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t". At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct folio. This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags' word of all three structures. This gives us a certain amount of type safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID, section number and zone number in the upper bits. That lets us have functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone. There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f instead. That's most of the churn here. Maybe we should be removing these things from the debug output? This patch (of 11): Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef. In upcoming patches, this will provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to functions which take this as an argument.

csky: Remove the size from alignment_tbl declaration

2025-02-05T09:15:40Z

Having to synchronize the number of ctl_table array elements with the size in the declaration can lead to discrepancies between the two values. Since commit d7a76ec87195 ("sysctl: Remove check for sentinel element in ctl_table arrays"), the calculation of the ctl_table array size is done solely by the ARRAY_SIZE macro removing the need for the size in the declaration. Remove the size for the aligment_tbl declaration and const qualify the array for good measure. Signed-off-by: Joel Granados Reviewed-by: Kees Cook

mm: make arch_get_unmapped_area() take vm_flags by default

2024-09-09T23:39:13Z

Patch series "mm: Care about shadow stack guard gap when getting an unmapped area", v2. As covered in the commit log for c44357c2e76b ("x86/mm: care about shadow stack guard gap during placement") our current mmap() implementation does not take care to ensure that a new mapping isn't placed with existing mappings inside it's own guard gaps. This is particularly important for shadow stacks since if two shadow stacks end up getting placed adjacent to each other then they can overflow into each other which weakens the protection offered by the feature. On x86 there is a custom arch_get_unmapped_area() which was updated by the above commit to cover this case by specifying a start_gap for allocations with VM_SHADOW_STACK. Both arm64 and RISC-V have equivalent features and use the generic implementation of arch_get_unmapped_area() so let's make the equivalent change there so they also don't get shadow stack pages placed without guard pages. The arm64 and RISC-V shadow stack implementations are currently on the list: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240829-arm64-gcs-v12-0-42fec94743 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240403234054.2020347-1-debug@rivosinc.com/ Given the addition of the use of vm_flags in the generic implementation we also simplify the set of possibilities that have to be dealt with in the core code by making arch_get_unmapped_area() take vm_flags as standard. This is a bit invasive since the prototype change touches quite a few architectures but since the parameter is ignored the change is straightforward, the simplification for the generic code seems worth it. This patch (of 3): When we introduced arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags() in 961148704acd ("mm: introduce arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags()") we did so as part of properly supporting guard pages for shadow stacks on x86_64, which uses a custom arch_get_unmapped_area(). Equivalent features are also present on both arm64 and RISC-V, both of which use the generic implementation of arch_get_unmapped_area() and will require equivalent modification there. Rather than continue to deal with having two versions of the functions let's bite the bullet and have all implementations of arch_get_unmapped_area() take vm_flags as a parameter. The new parameter is currently ignored by all implementations other than x86. The only caller that doesn't have a vm_flags available is mm_get_unmapped_area(), as for the x86 implementation and the wrapper used on other architectures this is modified to supply no flags. No functional changes.

csky: use initializer for struct vm_unmapped_area_info

2024-04-26T03:56:27Z

Future changes will need to add a new member to struct vm_unmapped_area_info. This would cause trouble for any call site that doesn't initialize the struct. Currently every caller sets each member manually, so if new members are added they will be uninitialized and the core code parsing the struct will see garbage in the new member. It could be possible to initialize the new member manually to 0 at each call site. This and a couple other options were discussed, and a working consensus (see links) was that in general the best way to accomplish this would be via static initialization with designated member initiators. Having some struct vm_unmapped_area_info instances not zero initialized will put those sites at risk of feeding garbage into vm_unmapped_area() if the convention is to zero initialize the struct and any new member addition misses a call site that initializes each member manually. It could be possible to leave the code mostly untouched, and just change the line: struct vm_unmapped_area_info info to: struct vm_unmapped_area_info info = {}; However, that would leave cleanup for the members that are manually set to zero, as it would no longer be required. So to be reduce the chance of bugs via uninitialized members, instead simply continue the process to initialize the struct this way tree wide. This will zero any unspecified members. Move the member initializers to the struct declaration when they are known at that time. Leave the members out that were manually initialized to zero, as this would be redundant for designated initializers.

mm: Introduce flush_cache_vmap_early()

2023-12-14T08:23:17Z

The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush other cpus TLB). But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example, in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception. So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which is called right after setting the new page table entry and before accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today). Signed-off-by: Alexandre Ghiti Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou

c-sky: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_talbe array

2023-10-10T22:22:02Z

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link : https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/) Remove sentinel from alignment_tbl ctl_table array. This removal is safe because register_sysctl_init implicitly uses ARRAY_SIZE() in addition to checking for the sentinel.
