      mm: convert return type of handle_mm_fault() caller to vm_fault_t · 50a7ca3c
      Souptick Joarder authored 
      Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler.  For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno.  Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.

Ref-> commit 1c8f4220 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")

In this patch all the caller of handle_mm_fault() are changed to return
vm_fault_t type.

      powerpc/mm: Update PROTFAULT handling in the page fault path · 18061c17
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored 
      
With radix, we can get page fault with DSISR_PROTFAULT value set in case of
PROT_NONE or autonuma mapping. The PROT_NONE case in handled by the vma check
where we consider the access bad. For autonuma we should fall through and fixup
the access mask correctly.

Without this patch we trigger the WARN_ON() on radix. This code moves that
WARN_ON() within a radix_enabled() check. I also moved the WARN_ON() outside
the if condition making it apply for all type of faults (exec/write/read). It
is also conditionalized for book3s, because BOOK3E can also get a PROTFAULT to
handle the D/I cache sync.

      vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support · 33692f27
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d

 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

      [POWERPC] spufs: move fault, lscsa_alloc and switch code to spufs module · 7cd58e43
      Jeremy Kerr authored 
      
Currently, part of the spufs code (switch.o, lscsa_alloc.o and fault.o)
is compiled directly into the kernel.

This change moves these components of spufs into the kernel.

The lscsa and switch objects are fairly straightforward to move in.

For the fault.o module, we split the fault-handling code into two
parts: a/p/p/c/spu_fault.c and a/p/p/c/spufs/fault.c. The former is for
the in-kernel spu_handle_mm_fault function, and we move the rest of the
fault-handling code into spufs.
