      x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h · 186f4360
      由 Paul Gortmaker 提交于 
      Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.  Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

      x86/mm/mpx: Work around MPX erratum SKD046 · 0f6ff2bc
      由 Dave Hansen 提交于 
      This erratum essentially causes the CPU to forget which privilege
level it is operating on (kernel vs. user) for the purposes of MPX.

This erratum can only be triggered when a system is not using
Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention (SMEP).  Our workaround for
the erratum is to ensure that MPX can only be used in cases where
SMEP is present in the processor and is enabled.

This erratum only affects Core processors.  Atom is unaffected.
But, there is no architectural way to determine Atom vs. Core.
So, we just apply this workaround to all processors.  It's
possible that it will mistakenly disable MPX on some Atom
processsors or future unaffected Core processors.  There are
currently no processors that have MPX and not SMEP.  It would
take something akin to a hypervisor masking SMEP out on an Atom
processor for this to present itself on current hardware.

More details can be found at:

  SKD046 Branch Instructions May Initialize MPX Bound Registers Incorrectly

  Problem:

  Depending on the current Intel MPX (Memory Protection
  Extensions) configuration, execution of certain branch
  instructions (near CALL, near RET, near JMP, and Jcc
  instructions) without a BND prefix (F2H) initialize the MPX bound
  registers. Due to this erratum, such a branch instruction that is
  executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3 may not use the
  correct MPX configuration register (BNDCFGU or BNDCFGS,
  respectively) for determining whether to initialize the bound
  registers; it may thus initialize the bound registers when it
  should not, or fail to initialize them when it should.

  Implication:

  A branch instruction that has executed both in user mode and in
  supervisor mode (from the same linear address) may cause a #BR
  (bound range fault) when it should not have or may not cause a
  #BR when it should have.  Workaround An operating system can
  avoid this erratum by setting CR4.SMEP[bit 20] to enable
  supervisor-mode execution prevention (SMEP). When SMEP is
  enabled, no code can be executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3.

      x86/cpu/intel: Remove not needed paravirt_enabled() use for F00F work around · fa392794
      由 Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于 
      The X86_BUG_F00F work around is responsible for fixing up the error
generated on attempted F00F exploitation from an OOPS to a SIGILL.

There is no reason why this code should not be allowed to run on
PV guest on a F00F-affected CPU -- it would simply never trigger.
The pv_enabled() check was there only to avoid printing the f00f
workaround, so removing the check is purely a cosmetic change.

      x86/topology: Create logical package id · 1f12e32f
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      For per package oriented services we must be able to rely on the number of CPU
packages to be within bounds. Create a tracking facility, which

- calculates the number of possible packages depending on nr_cpu_ids after boot

- makes sure that the package id is within the number of possible packages. If
  the apic id is outside we map it to a logical package id if there is enough
  space available.

Provide interfaces for drivers to query the mapping and do translations from
physcial to logical ids.

Resulting in inconsistent energy policy settings across CPUs.

This register is set via init_intel() at bootup. During resume,
the secondary CPUs are brought online again and init_intel() is
callled which re-initializes the register. The boot CPU however
never reinitializes the register.

Add a syscore callback to reinitialize the register for the boot CPU.

      x86, CPU: Fix trivial printk formatting issues with dmesg · f94fe119
      由 Steven Honeyman 提交于 
      dmesg (from util-linux) currently has two methods for reading the kernel
message ring buffer: /dev/kmsg and syslog(2). Since kernel 3.5.0 kmsg
has been the default, which escapes control characters (e.g. new lines)
before they are shown.

This change means that when dmesg is using /dev/kmsg, a 2 line printk
makes the output messy, because the second line does not get a
timestamp.

For example:

[    0.012863] CPU0: Thermal monitoring enabled (TM1)
[    0.012869] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 1024, 2MB 1024, 4MB 1024
Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 1024, 2MB 1024, 4MB 1024, 1GB 4
[    0.012958] Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 28K (ffffffff81d86000 - ffffffff81d8d000)
[    0.014961] dmar: Host address width 39

Because printk.c intentionally escapes control characters, they should
not be there in the first place. This patch fixes two occurrences of
this.

      x86: Add cpu_detect_cache_sizes to init_intel() add Quark legacy_cache() · aece118e
      由 Bryan O'Donoghue 提交于 
      Intel processors which don't report cache information via cpuid(2)
or cpuid(4) need quirk code in the legacy_cache_size callback to
report this data. For Intel that callback is is intel_size_cache().

This patch enables calling of cpu_detect_cache_sizes() inside of
init_intel() and hence the calling of the legacy_cache callback in
intel_size_cache(). Adding this call will ensure that PIII Tualatin
currently in intel_size_cache() and Quark SoC X1000 being added to
intel_size_cache() in this patch will report their respective cache
sizes.

This model of calling cpu_detect_cache_sizes() is consistent with
AMD/Via/Cirix/Transmeta and Centaur.

Also added is a string to idenitfy the Quark as Quark SoC X1000
giving better and more descriptive output via /proc/cpuinfo

Adding cpu_detect_cache_sizes to init_intel() will enable calling
of intel_size_cache() on Intel processors which currently no code
can reach. Therefore this patch will also re-enable reporting
of PIII Tualatin cache size information as well as add
Quark SoC X1000 support.

      x86, cpu: Fix cache topology for early P4-SMT · 2a226155
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      P4 systems with cpuid level < 4 can have SMT, but the cache topology
description available (cpuid2) does not include SMP information.

Now we know that SMT shares all cache levels, and therefore we can
mark all available cache levels as shared.

We do this by setting cpu_llc_id to ->phys_proc_id, since that's
the same for each SMT thread. We can do this unconditional since if
there's no SMT its still true, the one CPU shares cache with only
itself.

This fixes a problem where such CPUs report an incorrect LLC CPU mask.

This in turn fixes a crash in the scheduler where the topology was
build wrong, it assumes the LLC mask to include at least the SMT CPUs.

      mm, x86: Revisit tlb_flushall_shift tuning for page flushes except on IvyBridge · b9a3b4c9
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      There was a large ebizzy performance regression that was
bisected to commit 611ae8e3 (x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range
support for x86).  The problem was related to the
tlb_flushall_shift tuning for IvyBridge which was altered.  The
problem is that it is not clear if the tuning values for each
CPU family is correct as the methodology used to tune the values
is unclear.

This patch uses a conservative tlb_flushall_shift value for all
CPU families except IvyBridge so the decision can be revisited
if any regression is found as a result of this change.
IvyBridge is an exception as testing with one methodology
determined that the value of 2 is acceptable.  Details are in
the changelog for the patch "x86: mm: Change tlb_flushall_shift
for IvyBridge".

One important aspect of this to watch out for is Xen.  The
original commit log mentioned large performance gains on Xen.
It's possible Xen is more sensitive to this value if it flushes
small ranges of pages more frequently than workloads on bare
metal typically do.

Ebizzy hits the worst case scenario for TLB range flushing every
time and it shows for these Ivybridge CPUs at least that the
default choice is a poor on.  The patch addresses the problem.

Next was a tlbflush microbenchmark written by Alex Shi at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133727348217113 .  It
measures access costs while the TLB is being flushed.  The
expectation is that if there are always full TLB flushes that
the benchmark would suffer and it benefits from range flushing

There are 320 iterations of the test per thread count.  The
number of entries is randomly selected with a min of 1 and max
of 512.  To ensure a reasonably even spread of entries, the full
range is broken up into 8 sections and a random number selected
within that section.

iteration 1, random number between 0-64
iteration 2, random number between 64-128 etc

This is still a very weak methodology.  When you do not know
what are typical ranges, random is a reasonable choice but it
can be easily argued that the opimisation was for smaller ranges
and an even spread is not representative of any workload that
matters.  To improve this, we'd need to know the probability
distribution of TLB flush range sizes for a set of workloads
that are considered "common", build a synthetic trace and feed
that into this benchmark.  Even that is not perfect because it
would not account for the time between flushes but there are
limits of what can be reasonably done and still be doing
something useful.  If a representative synthetic trace is
provided then this benchmark could be revisited and the shift values retuned.

For both CPUs, average access time is reduced which is good as
this is the benchmark that was used to tune the shift values in
the first place albeit it is now known *how* the benchmark was
used.

The scheduler benchmarks were somewhat inconclusive.  They
showed gains and losses and makes me reconsider how stable those
benchmarks really are or if something else might be interfering
with the test results recently.

Network benchmarks were inconclusive.  Almost all results were
flat except for netperf-udp tests on the 4 thread machine.
These results were unstable and showed large variations between
reboots.  It is unknown if this is a recent problems but I've
noticed before that netperf-udp results tend to vary.

Based on these results, changing the default for Ivybridge seems
like a logical choice.

      x86/cpu: Track legacy CPU model data only on 32-bit kernels · 09dc68d9
      由 Jan Beulich 提交于 
      struct cpu_dev's c_models is only ever set inside CONFIG_X86_32
conditionals (or code that's being built for 32-bit only), so
there's no use of reserving the (empty) space for the model
names in a 64-bit kernel.

Similarly, c_size_cache is only used in the #else of a
CONFIG_X86_64 conditional, so reserving space for (and in one
case even initializing) that field is pointless for 64-bit
kernels too.

While moving both fields to the end of the structure, I also
noticed that:

 - the c_models array size was one too small, potentially causing
   table_lookup_model() to return garbage on Intel CPUs (intel.c's
   instance was lacking the sentinel with family being zero), so the
   patch bumps that by one,

 - c_models' vendor sub-field was unused (and anyway redundant
   with the base structure's c_x86_vendor field), so the patch deletes it.

Also rename the legacy fields so that their legacy nature stands out
and comment their declarations.

      x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files · 148f9bb8
      由 Paul Gortmaker 提交于 
      The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

      x86: Use a read-only IDT alias on all CPUs · 4eefbe79
      由 Kees Cook 提交于 
      Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only.
This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory
write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel
base offset, if it has been relocated.

We already did this on vendor == Intel and family == 5 because of the
F0 0F bug -- regardless of if a particular CPU had the F0 0F bug or
not.  Since the workaround was so cheap, there simply was no reason to
be very specific.  This patch extends the readonly alias to all CPUs,
but does not activate the #PF to #UD conversion code needed to deliver
the proper exception in the F0 0F case except on Intel family 5
processors.
