Hi,
I'm respinning this series for another RFC round. It is based on the
v4.16 tag. Given that it is now very late in the 4.17 merge window, and
considering that some code changes were needed to address the last round
of feedback, I think it is safer to target the 4.18 merge window.
This series contains:
- Restartable sequences system call (x86 32/64, powerpc 32/64, arm 32),
- CPU operation vector system call (x86 32/64, powerpc 32/64, arm 32).
The main changes introduced in this updated version are:
- Return -1, errno=EFAULT if userspace pointers received as cpu_opv
operation parameters target noncached memory. A new is_vma_noncached()
is introduced in linux/mm.h to that effect.
- Introduce vm_map_user_ram, vm_unmap_user_ram, which allows creating
mappings aliased to a user-space mapping with the same cache coloring
as the userspace mapping. Allow the kernel to load from and store to
pages shared with user-space through its own mapping in kernel virtual
addresses while ensuring cache conherency between kernel and userspace
mappings for virtually aliased architectures.
- Use vm_{map,unmap}_user_ram in cpu_opv.
Feedback is welcome!
Thanks,
Mathieu
