And they weren't even fields # that the code in question mostly cared about. # # The flush_tlb_range() function takes a "struct vma" rather than a # "struct mm_struct", because a few architectures actually care about what # kind of range it is - being able to only do an ITLB flush if it's a # range that doesn't have data accesses enabled, for example. And all the # normal users already have the vma for doing the range invalidation. # # But a few people want to call flush_tlb_range() with a range they just # made up, so they also end up using a made-up vma. x86 just has a # special "flush_tlb_mm_range()" function for this, but other # architectures (arm and ia64) do the "use fake vma" thing instead, and # thus got caught up in the vma_init() changes. # # At the same time, the TLB flushing code really doesn't care about most # other fields in the vma, so vma_init() is just unnecessary and # pointless. # # This fixes things by having an explicit "this is just an initializer for # the TLB flush" initializer macro, which is used by the arm/arm64/ia64 # people who mis-use this interface with just a dummy vma. # # Fixes: 2c4541e24c55 ("mm: use vma_init() to initialize VMAs on stack and data segments") # Cc: Dmitry Vyukov # Cc: Oleg Nesterov # Cc: Andrea Arcangeli # Cc: Kirill Shutemov # Cc: Andrew Morton # Cc: John Stultz # Cc: Hugh Dickins # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 8b11ec1b5ffb54f71cb5a5e5c8c4d36e5d113085 # < make -s -j 10 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_lpc32xx_defconfig_arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi- lpc32xx_defconfig # make -s -j 10 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_lpc32xx_defconfig_arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi- :1332:2: warning: #warning syscall io_pgetevents not implemented [-Wcpp] /kisskb/src/ipc/shm.c: In function 'ksys_shmdt': /kisskb/src/ipc/shm.c:1648:59: warning: 'file' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/kernel/rcu/srcutree.c: In function 'init_srcu_struct_fields': /kisskb/src/kernel/rcu/srcutree.c:127:33: warning: 'levelspread[]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/kernel/rcu/srcutree.c:94:6: note: 'levelspread[]' was declared here /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c: In function 'devkmsg_sysctl_set_loglvl': /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c:183:16: warning: 'old' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/proc/inode.c: In function 'proc_reg_open': /kisskb/src/include/linux/list.h:65:12: warning: 'pdeo' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/proc/inode.c:339:21: note: 'pdeo' was declared here /kisskb/src/net/core/gen_stats.c: In function '__gnet_stats_copy_basic': /kisskb/src/net/core/gen_stats.c:161:19: warning: 'seq' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/net/core/flow_dissector.c: In function '__skb_flow_dissect': /kisskb/src/net/core/flow_dissector.c:789:7: warning: 'vlan' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/net/core/dev.c: In function 'validate_xmit_skb_list': /kisskb/src/net/core/dev.c:3161:15: warning: 'tail' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c: In function 'of_gpiochip_add': /kisskb/src/drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c:390:8: warning: 'dflags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c:376:19: note: 'dflags' was declared here /kisskb/src/drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c:390:8: warning: 'lflags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c:375:25: note: 'lflags' was declared here /kisskb/src/lib/rhashtable.c: In function 'rht_deferred_worker': /kisskb/src/lib/rhashtable.c:269:2: warning: 'next' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/lib/rhashtable.c:234:28: note: 'next' was declared here /kisskb/src/drivers/mtd/ubi/eba.c: In function 'try_write_vid_and_data': /kisskb/src/drivers/mtd/ubi/eba.c:1001:7: warning: 'opnum' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_lpc32xx_defconfig_arm # Build took: 0:01:12.028426
