In order to consolidate the NMI die_chain events, we need to setup the priorities for the die notifiers. I started by defining a bunch of common priorities that can be used by the notifier blocks. Then I modified the notifier blocks to use the newly created priorities. Now that the priorities are straightened out, it should be easier to remove the event DIE_NMI_IPI.

They are a handful of places in the code that register a die_notifier as a catch all in case no claims the NMI. Unfortunately, they trigger on events like DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, which depending on when they registered may collide with other handlers that have the ability to determine if the NMI is theirs or not. The function unknown_nmi_error() makes one last effort to walk the die_chain when no one else has claimed the NMI before spitting out messages that the NMI is unknown. This is a better spot for these devices to execute any code without colliding with the other handlers. The two drivers modified are only compiled on x86 arches I believe, so they shouldn't be affected by other arches that may not have DIE_NMIUNKNOWN defined.

Replace the NMI related magic numbers with symbol constants. Memory parity error is only valid for IBM PC-AT, newer machine use bit 7 (0x80) of 0x61 port for PCI SERR. While memory error is usually reported via MCE. So corresponding function name and kernel log string is changed. But on some machines, PCI SERR line is still used to report memory errors. This is used by EDAC, so corresponding EDAC call is reserved.

The spin_lock_debug/rcu_cpu_stall detector uses trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() to dump cpu backtrace. Therefore it is possible that trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() could be called at the same time on different CPUs, which triggers and 'unknown reason NMI' warning. The following case illustrates the problem: CPU1 CPU2 ... CPU N trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() set "backtrace_mask" to cpu mask | generate NMI interrupts generate NMI interrupts ... \ | / \ | / The "backtrace_mask" will be cleaned by the first NMI interrupt at nmi_watchdog_tick(), then the following NMI interrupts generated by other cpus's arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() will be taken as unknown reason NMI interrupts. This patch uses a test_and_set to avoid the problem, and stop the arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() from calling to avoid dumping a double cpu backtrace info when there is already a trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() in progress.

Before this patch, the following error would sometimes occur after a resume on pxa3xx: /path/to/mm/memory.c:144: bad pmd 8040542e. The problem was that a temporary page table mapping was being improperly restored. The PXA3xx resume code creates a temporary mapping of resume_turn_on_mmu to avoid a prefetch abort. The pxa3xx_resume_after_mmu code requires that the r1 register holding the address of this mapping not be modified, however, resume_turn_on_mmu does modify it. It is mostly correct in that r1 receives the base table address, but it may also get other bits in 13:0. This results in pxa3xx_resume_after_mmu restoring the original mapping to the wrong place, corrupting memory and leaving the temporary mapping in place.

In arch/x86/kernel/microcode_intel.c::generic_load_microcode() we have this: while (leftover) { ... if (get_ucode_data(mc, ucode_ptr, mc_size) || microcode_sanity_check(mc) < 0) { vfree(mc); break; } ... } if (mc) vfree(mc); This will cause a double free of 'mc'. This patch fixes that by just removing the vfree() call in the loop since 'mc' will be freed nicely just after we break out of the loop. There's also a second change in the patch. I noticed a lot of checks for pointers being NULL before passing them to vfree(). That's completely redundant since vfree() deals gracefully with being passed a NULL pointer.

The x86 arch has shifted its use of the nmi_watchdog from a local implementation to the global one provide by kernel/watchdog.c. This shift has caused a whole bunch of compile problems under different config options. I attempt to simplify things with the patch below. In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Basically they mean the same thing, the former on a local level and the latter on a global level. With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't make sense any more. x86 will now use the global implementation. The changes below do a few things. First it changes the few places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter anyway, so nothing unusual here). Those pieces of code were relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog functionality, so the change should make sense. Second, I removed the x86 implementation of touch_nmi_watchdog(). It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation. Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from x86. And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This changes removes some of the ugliness in that file. Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. You can only have one nmi_watchdog. Tested with ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken emails. :-) v3: changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.

The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI "return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs for r0. However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks, since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register. Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register" hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0. Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing this exactly the way all other architectures do it.) This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more, so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org>

This prevents allocation of the last 2MB before 4GB. The experiment described here shows Windows 7 ignoring the last 1MB: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23542#c27 This patch ignores the top 2MB instead of just 1MB because H. Peter Anvin says "There will be ROM at the top of the 32-bit address space; it's a fact of the architecture, and on at least older systems it was common to have a shadow 1 MiB below." Acked-by: NH.

When we allocate address space, e.g., to assign it to a PCI device, don't allocate anything mentioned in the BIOS E820 memory map. On recent machines (2008 and newer), we assign PCI resources from the windows described by the ACPI PCI host bridge _CRS. On many Dell machines, these windows overlap some E820 reserved areas, e.g., BIOS-e820: 00000000bfe4dc00 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved) pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff] If we put devices at 0xbff00000, they don't work, probably because that's really RAM, not I/O memory. This patch prevents that by removing the 0xbfe4dc00-0xbfffffff area from the "available" resource. I'm not very happy with this solution because Windows solves the problem differently (it seems to ignore E820 reserved areas and it allocates top-down instead of bottom-up; details at comment 45 of the bugzilla below). That means we're vulnerable to BIOS defects that Windows would not trip over. For example, if BIOS described a device in ACPI but didn't mention it in E820, Windows would work fine but Linux would fail. Reference: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16228Acked-by: NH.

This implements arch_remove_reservations() so allocate_resource() can avoid any arch-specific reserved areas. This currently just avoids the BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if that turns out to be necessary. We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource(). This patch moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all* resource allocations will avoid this area. Acked-by: NH.
