The only user of the cycle_last validation is the x86 TSC. In order to provide NMI safe accessor functions for clock monotonic and monotonic_raw we need to do that in the core. We can't do the TSC specific if (now < cycle_last) now = cycle_last; for the other wrapping around clocksources, but TSC has CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(64) which actually does not mask out anything so if now is less than cycle_last the subtraction will give a negative result. So we can check for that in clocksource_delta() and return 0 for that case. Implement and enable it for x86 Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

The non-scalar ktime_t implementation is basically a timespec which has to be changed to support dates past 2038 on 32bit systems. This patch removes the non-scalar ktime_t implementation, forcing the scalar s64 nanosecond version on all architectures. This may have additional performance overhead on some 32bit systems when converting between ktime_t and timespec structures, however the majority of 32bit systems (arm and i386) were already using scalar ktime_t, so no performance regressions will be seen on those platforms. On affected platforms, I'm open to finding optimizations, including avoiding converting to timespecs where possible.

Relying on static functions used just once to get inlined (and subsequently have dead code paths eliminated) is wrong: Compilers are free to decide whether they do this, regardless of optimization level. With this not happening for vdso_addr() (observed with gcc 4.1.x), an unresolved reference to align_vdso_addr() causes the build to fail.

由 Tejun Heo 提交于
The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values. That is very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'. Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which always returns with an iret. However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to return to user space using 'sysret'. Otherwise the modifications that may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't necessarily take effect. Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().

vdso2c was checking for various types of relocations to detect when the vdso had undefined symbols or was otherwise dependent on relocation at load time. Undefined symbols in the vdso would fail if accessed at runtime, and certain implementation errors (e.g. branch profiling or incorrect symbol visibilities) could result in data access through the GOT that requires relocations. This could be as simple as: extern char foo; return foo; Without some kind of visibility control, the compiler would assume that foo could be interposed at load time and would generate a relocation. x86-64 and x32 (as opposed to i386) use explicit-addent (RELA) instead of implicit-addent (REL) relocations for data access, and vdso2c forgot to detect those. Whether these bad relocations would actually fail at runtime depends on what the linker sticks in the unrelocated references. Nonetheless, these relocations have no business existing in the vDSO and should be fixed rather than silently ignored. This error could trigger on some configurations due to branch profiling. The previous patch fixed that.

DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING turns off branch profiling (i.e. a redefinition of 'if'). Branch profiling depends on a bunch of kernel-internal symbols and generates extra output sections, none of which are useful or functional in the vDSO. It's currently turned off for vclock_gettime.c, but vgetcpu.c also triggers branch profiling, so just turn it off in the makefile. This fixes the build on some configurations: the vdso could contain undefined symbols, and the fake section table overflowed due to ftrace's added sections.

With this change, doing 'make vdso_install' and telling gdb: set debug-file-directory /lib/modules/KVER/vdso will enable vdso debugging with symbols. This is useful for testing, but kernel RPM builds will probably want to manually delete these symlinks or otherwise do something sensible when they strip the vdso/*.so files. If ld does not support --build-id, then the symlinks will not be created. Note that kernel packagers that use vdso_install may need to adjust their packaging scripts to accomdate this change. For example, Fedora's scripts create build-id symlinks themselves in a different location, so the spec should probably be updated to remove the symlinks created by make vdso_install.

.data doesn't need to be separate from .rodata: they're both readonly. .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement aren't needed by anything except vdso2c; strip them from the final image. While we're at it, rather than aligning the actual executable text, just shove some unused-at-runtime data in between real data and text. My vdso image is still above 4k, but I'm disinclined to try to trim it harder for 3.16. For future trimming, I suspect that these sections could be moved to later in the file and dropped from the in-memory image: .gnu.version and .gnu.version_d (this may lose versions in gdb) .eh_frame (should be harmless) .eh_frame_hdr (I'm not really sure) .hash (AFAIK nothing needs this section header) Signed-off-by: NAndy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2e96d0c49016ea6d026a614ae645e93edd325961.1403129369.git.luto@amacapital.netSigned-off-by: NH.

Fully stripping the vDSO has other unfortunate side effects: - binutils is unable to find ELF notes without a SHT_NOTE section. - Even elfutils has trouble: it can find ELF notes without a section table at all, but if a section table is present, it won't look for PT_NOTE. - gdb wants section names to match between stripped DSOs and their symbols; otherwise it will corrupt symbol addresses. We're also breaking the rules: section 0 is supposed to be SHT_NULL. Fix these problems by building a better fake section table. While we're at it, we might as well let buggy Go versions keep working well by giving the SHT_DYNSYM entry the correct size. This is a bit unfortunate: it adds quite a bit of size to the vdso image. If/when binutils improves and the improved versions become widespread, it would be worth considering dropping most of this.

commit 7d453eee ("x86/efi: Wire up CONFIG_EFI_MIXED") introduced a regression for the functionality to load kernels above 4G. The relevant (incorrect) reasoning behind this change can be seen in the commit message, "The xloadflags field in the bzImage header is also updated to reflect that the kernel supports both entry points by setting both of XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_32 and XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_64 when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y. XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is disabled so that the kernel text is guaranteed to be addressable with 32-bits." This is obviously bogus since 32-bit EFI loaders will never place the kernel above the 4G mark. So this restriction is entirely unnecessary. But things are worse than that - since we want to encourage people to always compile with CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y so that their kernels work out of the box for both 32-bit and 64-bit firmware, commit 7d453eee effectively disables XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G completely. Remove the overzealous and superfluous restriction and restore the XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G functionality. Cc: "H.

There are no standard functions for littleendian data (unlike bigendian data.) Thus, use <tools/le_byteshift.h> to access littleendian data members. Those are fairly inefficient, but it doesn't matter for this purpose (and can be optimized later.) This avoids portability problems.

Hang is observed on virtual machines during CPU hotplug, especially in big guests with many CPUs. (It reproducible more often if host is over-committed). It happens because master CPU gives up waiting on secondary CPU and allows it to run wild. As result AP causes locking or crashing system. For example as described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/6/257 If master CPU have sent STARTUP IPI successfully, and AP signalled to master CPU that it's ready to start initialization, make master CPU wait indefinitely till AP is onlined. To ensure that AP won't ever run wild, make it wait at early startup till master CPU confirms its intention to wait for AP. If AP doesn't respond in 10 seconds, the master CPU will timeout and cancel AP onlining.

If system is running without debug level logging, it will not log error if do_boot_cpu() failed to wakeup AP. It may lead to silent AP bringup failures at boot time. Change message level to KERN_ERR to make error visible to user as it's done on other architectures.

currently if AP wake up is failed, master CPU marks AP as not present in do_boot_cpu() by calling set_cpu_present(cpu, false). That leads to following list corruption on the next physical CPU hotplug: [ 418.107336] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 45 at lib/list_debug.c:33 __list_add+0xbe/0xd0() [ 418.115268] list_add corruption. prev->next should be next (ffff88003dc57600), but was ffff88003e20c3a0.

Which is caused by the fact that generic_processor_info() allocates logical CPU id by calling: cpu = cpumask_next_zero(-1, cpu_present_mask); which returns id of previously failed to wake up CPU, since its bit is cleared by do_boot_cpu() and as result register_cpu() tries to register another CPU with the same id as already present but failed to be onlined CPU. Taking in account that AP will not do anything if master CPU failed to wake it up, there is no reason to mark that AP as not present and break next cpu hotplug attempts. As a side effect of not marking AP as not present, user would be allowed to online it again later. Also fix memory corruption in acpi_unmap_lsapic() if during CPU hotplug master CPU failed to wake up AP it set percpu x86_cpu_to_apicid to BAD_APICID=0xFFFF for AP. However following attempt to unplug that CPU will lead to out of bound write access to __apicid_to_node[] which is 32768 items long on x86_64 kernel. So with above fix of cpu_present_mask make sure that a present CPU has a valid APIC ID by not setting x86_cpu_to_apicid to BAD_APICID in do_boot_cpu() on failure and allow acpi_processor_remove()->acpi_unmap_lsapic() cleanly remove CPU.
