Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.
While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:
"
if (cause < 0) {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
goto bad_area;
} else if (!cause) {
/* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
goto bad_area;
} else {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
goto bad_area;
}
"
Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.
Additional discussion:
Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.
Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.
According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.
The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

Noticed that the U3_*CFA macros have some typos:
#define U3_HT_CFA0(devfn, off) \
((((unsigned long)devfn) << 8) | offset)
(refers to offset rather than off)
#define U3_AGP_CFA0(devfn, off) \
((1 << (unsigned long)PCI_SLOT(dev_fn)) \
| (((unsigned long)PCI_FUNC(dev_fn)) << 8) \
(refers to dev_fn rather than devfn)
Things happen to work, but there doesn't seem to be any reason these
shouldn't be functions. Overall behavior should be unchanged.

When there is a PCI-X mode 2 capable device behind the HT<->PCI-X
bridge, the pci core decides that the device has the extended 4K
config space, even though the bus is not operating in mode 2. This is
because the u3_ht pci ops silently accept offsets greater than 255 but
use only the 8 least significant bits, which means reading at offset
0x100 gets the data at offset 0x0, and causes confusion for lspci.
Reject accesses to configuration space offsets greater than 255.

This abstracts the operations used in the bootwrapper, and defines
the operations needed for the bootwrapper to run on an OF platform.
The operations have been divided up into platform ops (platform_ops),
firmware ops (fw_ops), device tree ops (dt_ops), and console ops
(console_ops).
The proper operations will be hooked up at runtime to provide the
functionality that you need.

It seems that the occasional data corruption observed with the tg3
driver wasn't due to missing barriers after all, but rather seems to
be due to the DART (= IOMMU) in the U4 northbridge reading stale
IOMMU table entries from memory due to a race. This fixes it by
making the CPU read the entry back from memory before using it.

This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction
before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected
behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed
to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory.
To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering
between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions
have had an sync added before the load.
Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed
to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb()
is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous
behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required.
Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by
__raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock. If it is
set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it.
This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX. 32-bit already has a
sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus
doesn't need the per-cpu flag.
Tested on G5 (PPC970) and POWER5.

As part of the new irq code pseries_kexec_cpu_down() was split into a
xics and mpic version. The vpa unregister logic is now only done in the
xics routine, and although that's ok in practice (we don't have SPLPAR
machines with mpic), I'd rather have the two concepts stay separate.
So move the vpa unregister into pseries_kexec_cpu_down(), which gets called
by both the xics and mpic routines. This also gives us an obvious place to
put any new kexec-down logic needed in future.
