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-5.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64le-linux/bin/powerpc64le-linux-gcc --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 8b11ec1b5ffb54f71cb5a5e5c8c4d36e5d113085 # < make -s -j 10 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_allmodconfig+ppc64le_ppc64le CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64le-linux/bin/powerpc64le-linux- allmodconfig # Added to kconfig CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y # Added to kconfig CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_SAMPLES=n # yes \n | make -s -j 10 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_allmodconfig+ppc64le_ppc64le CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64le-linux/bin/powerpc64le-linux- oldconfig yes: standard output: Broken pipe yes: write error # make -s -j 10 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_allmodconfig+ppc64le_ppc64le CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64le-linux/bin/powerpc64le-linux- In file included from /kisskb/src/include/linux/io.h:25:0, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/of_address.h:7, from /kisskb/src/drivers/ata/ahci_qoriq.c:18: /kisskb/src/drivers/ata/ahci_qoriq.c: In function 'ahci_qoriq_hardreset': /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:160:2: warning: 'px_is' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] __asm__ __volatile__("sync;"#insn"%U0%X0 %1,%0" \ ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/ata/ahci_qoriq.c:86:14: note: 'px_is' was declared here u32 px_cmd, px_is, px_val; ^ In file included from /kisskb/src/include/linux/io.h:25:0, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/of_address.h:7, from /kisskb/src/drivers/ata/ahci_qoriq.c:18: /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:160:2: warning: 'px_cmd' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] __asm__ __volatile__("sync;"#insn"%U0%X0 %1,%0" \ ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/ata/ahci_qoriq.c:86:6: note: 'px_cmd' was declared here u32 px_cmd, px_is, px_val; ^ WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x36b4): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __boot_from_prom to the function .init.text:prom_init() The function __boot_from_prom() references the function __init prom_init().
