<id>urn:sha1:78e7c5af080b86e9f28afac5a8307ddab1d2c1a3</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently there are many platforms that dont enable ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
but required to define quite similar fallback stubs for special page
table entry helpers such as pte_special() and pte_mkspecial(), as they
get build in generic MM without a config check.  This creates two
generic fallback stub definitions for these helpers, eliminating much
code duplication.

mips platform has a special case where pte_special() and pte_mkspecial()
visibility is wider than what ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL enablement requires.
This restricts those symbol visibility in order to avoid redefinitions
which is now exposed through this new generic stubs and subsequent build
failure.  arm platform set_pte_at() definition needs to be moved into a
C file just to prevent a build failure.

<title>mm/vma: define a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS</title>

<content type='text'>
There are many platforms with exact same value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS
This creates a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS in line with the
existing VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS.  While here, also define some more
macros with standard VMA access flag combinations that are used
frequently across many platforms.  Apart from simplification, this
reduces code duplication as well.

<title>mm: bring sparc pte_index() semantics inline with other platforms</title>

<id>urn:sha1:251a0ffeaeee2a900765d98d44880943dce1047d</id>
<content type='text'>
pte_index() on platforms other than sparc return a numerical index.  On
sparc, it returns a pte_t*.  This presents an issue for
vm_insert_pages(), which relies on pte_index() to find the offset for a
pte within a pmd, for batched inserts.

This patch:
1. Modifies pte_index() for sparc to return a numerical index, like
   other platforms,
2. Defines pte_entry() for sparc which returns a pte_t*
   (as pte_index() used to),
3. Converts existing sparc callers for pte_index() to use pte_entry().

sparc32 is the last platform making dynamic decisions in
get_arch_dma_ops based on the bus passed in.  Instead set the
iommu dma_ops at iommu probing and propagate them in
of_propagate_archdata, falling back to the NULL ops for the
direct mapping in the Leon or PCI case.

<title>asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatory</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirrors.hust.edu.cn/git/lwn.git/commit/?id=630f289b7114c0e68519cbd634e2b7ec804ca8c5'/>
<id>urn:sha1:630f289b7114c0e68519cbd634e2b7ec804ca8c5</id>
<content type='text'>
Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met:

[1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in
    arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

[2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation
    (arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in
    arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

This commit was generated by the following shell script.

-----------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------------

arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d')

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild &gt; $tmpfile

find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' |
	xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += \(.*\)/\1/p' | sort -u |
while read header
do
	mandatory=yes

	for arch in $arches
	do
		if ! grep -q "generic-y += $header" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild &amp;&amp;
			! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then
			mandatory=no
			break
		fi
	done

	if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then
		echo "mandatory-y += $header" &gt;&gt; $tmpfile

		for arch in $arches
		do
			sed -i "/generic-y += $header/d" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild
		done
	fi

done

sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild

LANG=C sort $tmpfile &gt;&gt; include/asm-generic/Kbuild

-----------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------------

One obvious benefit is the diff stat:

 25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-)

It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it.

So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping
asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header
implementation.

See the following commits:

def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c
a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24

It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell
script.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "Build system:

   - add CONFIG_UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST, which will be useful to define a
     fixed set of export symbols for Generic Kernel Image (GKI)

   - allow to run 'make dt_binding_check' without .config

   - use full schema for checking DT examples in *.yaml files

   - make modpost fail for missing MODULE_IMPORT_NS(), which makes more
     sense because we know the produced modules are never loadable

   - Remove unused 'AS' variable

  Kconfig:

   - sanitize DEFCONFIG_LIST, and remove ARCH_DEFCONFIG from Kconfig
     files

   - relax the 'imply' behavior so that symbols implied by 'y' can
     become 'm'

   - make 'imply' obey 'depends on' in order to make 'imply' really weak

  Misc:

   - add documentation on building the kernel with Clang/LLVM

   - revive __HAVE_ARCH_STRLEN for 32bit sparc to use optimized strlen()

   - fix warning from deb-pkg builds when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n

   - various script and Makefile cleanups"

* tag 'kbuild-v5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (34 commits)

Move access_ok() in and pagefault_enable()/pagefault_disable() out.
Mechanical conversion only - some instances don't really need
a separate access_ok() at all (e.g. the ones only using
get_user()/put_user(), or architectures where access_ok()
is always true); we'll deal with that in followups.

<content type='text'>
Prior to commit 70a6fcf3283a ("[sparc] unify 32bit and 64bit string.h"),
__HAVE_ARCH_STRLEN was defined in both of string_32.h and string_64.h

It did not unify __HAVE_ARCH_STRLEN, but deleted it from string_32.h

This issue was reported by the kbuild test robot in the trial of
forcible linking of $(lib-y) to vmlinux.
