* [MIPS] Export __copy_user_inatomic.Ralf Baechle2007-03-071-0/+2

* [MIPS] Fixup copy_from_user_inatomicRalf Baechle2007-02-201-2/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From the 01408c4939479ec46c15aa7ef6e2406be50eeeca log message: The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the* *destination*. This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a reasonable thing to see). If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't cause an error. The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing so causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic to *not* zero out bytes on failure. < --- end cite --- > This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by duplicating the relevant part of __copy_user.

* [MIPS] Remove stray instruction from __get_user_asm_ll32.Ralf Baechle2007-02-131-1/+0

* [MIPS] Fixes for uaccess.h with gcc >= 4.0.1Atsushi Nemoto2006-02-211-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | It seems current get_user() incorrectly sign-extend an unsigned int value on 64bit kernel. I think this is because '(__typeof__(val))' cast in final assignment. I suppose the cast should be '(__typeof__(*(addr))'. Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
* [MIPS] More uaccess.h fixes with gcc >= 4.0.1.Ralf Baechle2006-02-141-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From Richard Sandiford <richard@codesourcery.com>: This patch caused a miscompilation of the restore_gp_regs() block in restore_sigcontext(). This was in a 32-bit kernel compiled with GCC CVS head. restore_gp_regs() copies 64-bit user fields into 32-bit variables, and in this combination, the new __get_user_asm_ll32() clobbers too many registers. It says: /* * Get a long long 64 using 32 bit registers. */ { \ __asm__ __volatile__( \ "1: lw %1, (%3) \n" \ "2: lw %D1, 4(%3) \n" \ " move %0, $0 \n" \ "3: .section .fixup,\"ax\" \n" \ "4: li %0, %4 \n" \ " move %1, $0 \n" \ " move %D1, $0 \n" \ " j 3b \n" \ " .previous \n" \ " .section __ex_table,\"a\" \n" \ " " __UA_ADDR " 1b, 4b \n" \ " " __UA_ADDR " 2b, 4b \n" \ " .previous \n" \ : "=r" (__gu_err), "=&r" (val) \ : "0" (0), "r" (addr), "i" (-EFAULT)); \ } and this requires val (%1) to be a 64-bit value. In the case I saw, gcc was using $3 for the 32-bit val, and wasn't expecting $4 to be clobbered. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
