2014-08-07mm, arc: remove obsolete pagefault oom killer commentDavid Rientjes
Commit 609838cfed97 ("mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page fault handlers") converted arc to call pagefault_out_of_memory(), so remove the comment about future conversion.

2013-11-06ARC: Change calling convention of do_page_fault()Vineet Gupta
switch the args (address, pt_regs) to match with all the other "C" exception handlers. This removes the awkwardness in EV_ProtV for page fault vs. unaligned access. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
2013-11-02ARC: Incorrect mm reference used in vmalloc fault handlerVineet Gupta
A vmalloc fault needs to sync up PGD/PTE entry from init_mm to current task's "active_mm". ARC vmalloc fault handler however was using mm. A vmalloc fault for non user task context (actually pre-userland, from init thread's open for /dev/console) caused the handler to deref NULL mm (for mm->pgd) The reasons it worked so far is amazing: 1. By default (!SMP), vmalloc fault handler uses a cached value of PGD. In SMP that MMU register is repurposed hence need for mm pointer deref. 2. In pre-3.12 SMP kernel, the problem triggering vmalloc didn't exist in pre-userland code path - it was introduced with commit 20bafb3d23d108bc "n_tty: Move buffers into n_tty_data" Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com> Cc: Noam Camus <noamc@ezchip.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org #3.10 and 3.11 Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-09-12arch: mm: pass userspace fault flag to generic fault handlerJohannes Weiner
Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from user-triggered faults. Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM handling can be improved.

2013-09-12arch: mm: remove obsolete init OOM protectionJohannes Weiner
The memcg code can trap tasks in the context of the failing allocation until an OOM situation is resolved. They can hold all kinds of locks (fs, mm) at this point, which makes it prone to deadlocking. This series converts memcg OOM handling into a two step process that is started in the charge context, but any waiting is done after the fault stack is fully unwound. Patches 1-4 prepare architecture handlers to support the new memcg requirements, but in doing so they also remove old cruft and unify out-of-memory behavior across architectures. Patch 5 disables the memcg OOM handling for syscalls, readahead, kernel faults, because they can gracefully unwind the stack with -ENOMEM. OOM handling is restricted to user triggered faults that have no other option. Patch 6 reworks memcg's hierarchical OOM locking to make it a little more obvious wth is going on in there: reduce locked regions, rename locking functions, reorder and document. Patch 7 implements the two-part OOM handling such that tasks are never trapped with the full charge stack in an OOM situation. This patch: Back before smart OOM killing, when faulting tasks were killed directly on allocation failures, the arch-specific fault handlers needed special protection for the init process. Now that all fault handlers call into the generic OOM killer (see commit 609838cfed97: "mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page fault handlers"), which already provides init protection, the arch-specific leftovers can be removed.

2013-07-09mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page fault handlersJohannes Weiner
A few remaining architectures directly kill the page faulting task in an out of memory situation. This is usually not a good idea since that task might not even use a significant amount of memory and so may not be the optimal victim to resolve the situation. Since 2.6.29's 1c0fe6e ("mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault") there is a hook that architecture page fault handlers are supposed to call to invoke the OOM killer and let it pick the right task to kill. Convert the remaining architectures over to this hook. To have the previous behavior of simply taking out the faulting task the vm.oom_kill_allocating_task sysctl can be set to 1.

2013-06-26ARC: Remove explicit passing around of ECRVineet Gupta
With ECR now part of pt_regs * No need to propagate from lowest asm handlers as arg * No need to save it in tsk->thread.cause_code * Avoid bit chopping to access the bit-fields More code consolidation, cleanup Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
2013-06-22ARC: [mm] Remove @write argument to do_page_fault()Vineet Gupta
This can be ascertained within do_page_fault() since it gets the full ECR (Exception Cause Register). Further, for both the callers of do_page_fault(): Prot-V / D-TLB-Miss, the cause sub-fields in ECR are same for same type of access, making the code much more simpler. D-TLB-Miss [LD] 0x00_21_01_00 Prot-V [LD] 0x00_23_01_00 ^^ D-TLB-Miss [ST] 0x00_21_02_00 Prot-V [ST] 0x00_23_02_00 ^^ D-TLB-Miss [EX] 0x00_21_03_00 Prot-V [EX] 0x00_23_03_00 ^^ This helps code consolidation, which is even better when moving code from assembler to "C".

This includes recent changes to make handler "retry" and/or "killable" The killable (early exit) logic is loosely based on how SH implements it return if SIGKILL + either of VM_FAULT_OOM or VM_FAULT_RETRY which is different from Hexagon implementation which would NOT early exit for SIGKILL + VM_FAULT_OOM + !VM_FAULT_RETRY credits: Non executable stack support from Simon Spooner Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
