Subject: [PATCH] sh: fix futex/robust_list on nommu models
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 01:24:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160426012418.GA3927@brightrain.aerifal.cx> (raw)
The futex cmpxchg runtime testing in kernel/futex.c depends on
accesses to address 0 producing EFAULT, which obviously does not work
on nommu. Since SH always has cmpxchg, disable the broken runtime
detection.
At some point this should be fixed at the kernel/futex.c level. UP
machines can always provide a working cmpxchg with interrupt masking,
and SMP cannot function without a working cmpxchg anyway.
