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/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux-gcc --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 8b11ec1b5ffb54f71cb5a5e5c8c4d36e5d113085 # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mipsel CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- defconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mipsel CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- FIT description: Linux 4.18.0-rc7-g8b11ec1 Created: Thu Aug 2 10:01:48 2018 Image 0 (kernel@0) Description: Linux 4.18.0-rc7-g8b11ec1 Created: Thu Aug 2 10:01:48 2018 Type: Kernel Image Compression: gzip compressed Data Size: 4504542 Bytes = 4398.97 kB = 4.30 MB Architecture: MIPS OS: Linux Load Address: 0x80100000 Entry Point: 0x8087a2f0 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: b14bda9295a2224d5179b682a04911bb186988ea Image 1 (fdt@boston) Description: img,boston Device Tree Created: Thu Aug 2 10:01:48 2018 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 3668 Bytes = 3.58 kB = 0.00 MB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 569c37cc891ce1e1f3a193cb41cc691a5d2debb5 Image 2 (fdt@ni169445) Description: NI 169445 device tree Created: Thu Aug 2 10:01:48 2018 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 1871 Bytes = 1.83 kB = 0.00 MB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 51b89b31605ee62038c8468c429af091dfc75ec7 Image 3 (fdt@xilfpga) Description: MIPSfpga (xilfpga) Device Tree Created: Thu Aug 2 10:01:48 2018 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 2708 Bytes = 2.64 kB = 0.00 MB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 509ce58e44c561d54539e64e9d4b47054e696fc6 Default Configuration: 'conf@default' Configuration 0 (conf@default) Description: Generic Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 Configuration 1 (conf@boston) Description: Boston Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@boston Configuration 2 (conf@ni169445) Description: NI 169445 Linux Kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@ni169445 Configuration 3 (conf@xilfpga) Description: MIPSfpga Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@xilfpga Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mipsel # Build took: 0:01:45.479736
