Linux kernel source tree
e00b0a2ab8
Currently, the parisc kernel does not fully support non-access TLB fault handling for probe instructions. In the fast path, we set the target register to zero if it is not a shadowed register. The slow path is not implemented, so we call do_page_fault. The architecture indicates that non-access faults should not cause a page fault from disk. This change adds to code to provide non-access fault support for probe instructions. It also modifies the handling of faults on userspace so that if the address lies in a valid VMA and the access type matches that for the VMA, the probe target register is set to one. Otherwise, the target register is set to zero. This was done to make probe instructions more useful for userspace. Probe instructions are not very useful if they set the target register to zero whenever a page is not present in memory. Nominally, the purpose of the probe instruction is determine whether read or write access to a given address is allowed. This fixes a problem in function pointer comparison noticed in the glibc testsuite (stdio-common/tst-vfprintf-user-type). The same problem is likely in glibc (_dl_lookup_address). V2 adds flush and lpa instruction support to handle_nadtlb_fault. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
