The attached patch fixes the following problems in the ELF-FDPIC binfmt driver: (1) elf_fdpic_map_file() should be passed an mm_struct pointer, not NULL. (2) do_mmap() should be called with the mmap_sem held. (3) mm_struct::end_brk doesn't exist in 2.6 (debugging only). (4) Avoid debugging warnings by casting certain values to unsigned long before printing them. Signed-Off-By:David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

The attached patch adds a new binary format driver that allows a special variety of ELF to be used that permits the dynamic sections that comprise an executable, its dynamic loader and its shared libaries and its stack and data to be located anywhere within the address space. This is used to provide shared libraries and shared executables (at least, as far as the read-only dynamic sections go) on uClinux. Not only that, but the same binaries can be run on MMU linux without a problem. This is achieved by: (1) Passing loadmaps to the dynamic loader (or to a statically linked executable) to indicate the whereabouts of the various dynamic sections. (2) Using a GOT inside the program. (3) Passing setup_arg_pages() the stack pointer to be. (4) Allowing the arch greated control over how an executable is laid out in memory in MMU Linux. (5) Rewriting mm/nommu.c to support MAP_PRIVATE on files, thus allowing _mmap_ to handle sharing of private-readonly mappings. Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch fixes the usage of setup_arg_pages() in the IA64, MIPS, S390 and Sparc64 arches. This function now takes an extra parameter: the initial top of stack. This is useful in uClinux when there's no fixed location to which the stack pointer can be initialised. Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch changes setup_arg_pages() to take the proposed initial stack top for the new executable image. This makes it easier for the binfmt to place the stack at a non-fixed location, such as happens in !MMU configurations. Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch splits some memory-related procfs files into MMU and !MMU versions and places them in separate conditionally-compiled files. A header file local to the fs/proc/ directory is used to declare functions and the like. Additionally, a !MMU-only proc file (/proc/maps) is provided so that master VMA list in a uClinux kernel is viewable. Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch changes mm/nommu.c to better support mmap() when MMU support is disabled (as it is in uClinux). This was discussed on the uclibc mailing list in a thread revolving around the following message: Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 12:05:50 +1000 From: David McCullough <davidm@snapgear.com> To: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Alexandre Oliva <aoliva@redhat.com>, uclibc@uclibc.org Subject: Re: [uClibc] mmaps for malloc should be private Message-ID: <20040401020550.GG3150@beast> The revised rules are: (1) Anonymous mappings can be shared or private, read or write. (2) Chardevs can be mapped shared, provided they supply a get_unmapped_area() file operation and use that to set the address of the mapping (as a frame buffer driver might do, for instance). (3) Files (and blockdevs) cannot be mapped shared since it is not really possible to honour this by writing any changes back to the backing device. (4) Files (or sections thereof) can be mapped read-only private, in which case the mapped bit will be read into memory and shared, and its address will be returned. Any excess beyond EOF will be cleared. (5) Files (or sections thereof) can be mapped writable private, in which case a private copy of the mapped bit will be read into a new bit memory, and its address will be returned. Any excess beyond EOF will be cleared. Mappings are per MM structure still. You can only unmap what you've mapped. Fork semantics are irrelevant, since there's no fork. A global list of VMA's is maintained to keep track of the bits of memory currently mapped on the system. The new binfmt makes use of (4) to implement shared libraries. Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch makes calibrate_delay() optional. In this architecture, it's a waste of time since we can predict exactly what it's going to come up with just by looking at the CPU's hardware clock registers. Thus far, we haven't seen a board with any clock not dependent on the CPU's clock. Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch makes byte and word writes to PCI config space work. The problem was that the pointer to the appropriate chunk of the config port needs to be juggled to allow for the fact that FRV is big endian in this case. Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch makes cache flushing work correctly on DMA consistent memory for the frv arch. On the FRV unmapped memory can't be flushed directly, but has to be kmapped first since the flush instructions take virtual pointers not physical ones. It also splits the MMU and !MMU versions into separate files. Signed-Off-By:

People love to do comparisons with highmem_start_page. However, where CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y and there is no actual highmem, there's no real page at *highmem_start_page. That's usually not a problem, but CONFIG_NONLINEAR is a bit more strict and catches the bogus address tranlations. There are about a gillion different ways to find out of a 'struct page' is highmem or not. Why not just check page_flags? Just use PageHighMem() wherever there used to be a highmem_start_page comparison. Then, kill off highmem_start_page. This removes more code than it adds, and gets rid of some nasty #ifdefs in .c files. Signed-off-by:

The attached patch fixes a number of problems in the VM routines: (1) Some inline funcs don't compile if CONFIG_MMU is not set. (2) swapper_pml4 needn't exist if CONFIG_MMU is not set. (3) __free_pages_ok() doesn't counter set_page_refs() different behaviour if CONFIG_MMU is not set. (4) swsusp.c invokes TLB flushing functions without including the header file that declares them. CONFIG_SHMEM semantics: - If MMU: Always enabled if !EMBEDDED - If MMU && EMBEDDED: configurable - If !MMU: disabled Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch marks a variable as __initdata in a header file so that the FRV gcc generates the correct access method as initdata variables are too far from the GPREL pointer to access directly. Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch makes it possible to support gp-rel addressing for small variables. Since the FR-V cpu's have fixed-length instructions and plenty of general-purpose registers, one register is nominated as a base for the small data area. This makes it possible to use single-insn accesses to access global and static variables instead of having to use multiple instructions. This, however, causes problems with small variables used to pinpoint the beginning and end of sections. The compiler assumes it can use gp-rel addressing for these, but the linker then complains because the displacement is out of range. By declaring certain variables as arrays or by forcing them into named sections, the compiler is persuaded to access them as if they can be outside the displacement range. Declaring the variables as "const void" type also works. Signed-Off-By:

More tidying up. The htab_data structure contained 5 fields or which two were completely unused and one other was just kept for printing at boot time. I have mode the remaining two into global variables. Built and booted on iSeries (which is always lpar) and on pSeries without partitioning. Signed-off-by:

This patch is just more clean up in the ppc64 arch. It uses c99 initializers for various iSeries structures that are used to pass information to the hypervisor. Also itLpNaca is not used by any code that could be in a module, so don't export it. Built and booted. Signed-off-by:
