On systems with very large memory (1 TB in our case), BIOS may report a reserved region or a hole in the E820 map, even above the 4 GB range. Exclude these from the direct mapping. [ hpa: this should be done not just for > 4 GB but for everything above the legacy region (1 MB), at the very least. That, however, turns out to require significant restructuring. That work is well underway, but is not suitable for rc/stable. ] Cc: stable@kernel.org # > 2.6.32 Signed-off-by: NJacob Shin <jacob.shin@amd.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1319145326-13902-1-git-send-email-jacob.shin@amd.comSigned-off-by: NH.

There is no fundamental reason why we should switch SMEP and SMAP on during early cpu initialization just to switch them off again. Now with %eflags and %cr4 forced to be initialized to a clean state, we only need the one-way enable. Also, make the functions inline to make them (somewhat) harder to abuse. This does mean that SMEP and SMAP do not get initialized anywhere near as early. Even using early_param() instead of __setup() doesn't give us control early enough to do this during the early cpu initialization phase. This seems reasonable to me, because SMEP and SMAP should not matter until we have userspace to protect ourselves from, but it does potentially make it possible for a bug involving a "leak of permissions to userspace" to get uncaught.

We already have a flag word to indicate the existence of MISC_ENABLES, so use the same flag word to indicate existence of cr4 and EFER, and always restore them if they exist.

%cr4 is supposed to reflect a set of features into which the operating system is opting in. If the BIOS or bootloader leaks bits here, this is not desirable. Consider a bootloader passing in %cr4.pae set to a legacy paging kernel, for example -- it will not have any immediate effect, but the kernel would crash when turning paging on. A similar argument applies to %eflags, and since we have to look for %eflags.id being settable we can use a sequence which clears %eflags as a side effect. Note that we already do this for x86-64.

Preemption is disabled between kernel_fpu_begin/end() and as such it is not a good idea to use these routines in kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() which can be very far apart. kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() routines are already called with preemption disabled and KVM already uses the preempt notifier to save the guest fpu state using kvm_put_guest_fpu(). So introduce __kernel_fpu_begin/end() routines which don't touch preemption and use them instead of kernel_fpu_begin/end() for KVM's use model of saving/restoring guest FPU state. Also with this change (and with eagerFPU model), fix the host cr0.TS vm-exit state in the case of VMX. For eagerFPU case, host cr0.TS is always clear. So no need to worry about it. For the traditional lazyFPU restore case, change the cr0.TS bit for the host state during vm-exit to be always clear and cr0.TS bit is set in the __vmx_load_host_state() when the FPU (guest FPU or the host task's FPU) state is not active. This ensures that the host/guest FPU state is properly saved, restored during context-switch and with interrupts (using irq_fpu_usable()) not stomping on the active FPU state.

Signal handling contains a bunch of accesses to individual user space items, which causes an excessive number of STAC and CLAC instructions. Instead, let get/put_user_try ... get/put_user_catch() contain the STAC and CLAC instructions. This means that get/put_user_try no longer nests, and furthermore that it is no longer legal to use user space access functions other than __get/put_user_ex() inside those blocks. However, these macros are x86-specific anyway and are only used in the signal-handling paths; a simple reordering of moving the larger subroutine calls out of the try...catch blocks resolves that problem.

When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag. To make the performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it.

Fundamental model of the current Linux kernel is to lazily init and restore FPU instead of restoring the task state during context switch. This changes that fundamental lazy model to the non-lazy model for the processors supporting xsave feature. Reasons driving this model change are: i. Newer processors support optimized state save/restore using xsaveopt and xrstor by tracking the INIT state and MODIFIED state during context-switch. This is faster than modifying the cr0.TS bit which has serializing semantics. ii. Newer glibc versions use SSE for some of the optimized copy/clear routines. With certain workloads (like boot, kernel-compilation etc), application completes its work with in the first 5 task switches, thus taking upto 5 #DNA traps with the kernel not getting a chance to apply the above mentioned pre-load heuristic. iii. Some xstate features (like AMD's LWP feature) don't honor the cr0.TS bit and thus will not work correctly in the presence of lazy restore. Non-lazy state restore is needed for enabling such features. Some data on a two socket SNB system: * Saved 20K DNA exceptions during boot on a two socket SNB system. * Saved 50K DNA exceptions during kernel-compilation workload. * Improved throughput of the AVX based checksumming function inside the kernel by ~15% as xsave/xrstor is faster than the serializing clts/stts pair. Also now kernel_fpu_begin/end() relies on the patched alternative instructions. So move check_fpu() which uses the kernel_fpu_begin/end() after alternative_instructions().

Currently for x86 and x86_32 binaries, fpstate in the user sigframe is copied to/from the fpstate in the task struct. And in the case of signal delivery for x86_64 binaries, if the fpstate is live in the CPU registers, then the live state is copied directly to the user sigframe. Otherwise fpstate in the task struct is copied to the user sigframe. During restore, fpstate in the user sigframe is restored directly to the live CPU registers. Historically, different code paths led to different bugs. For example, x86_64 code path was not preemption safe till recently. Also there is lot of code duplication for support of new features like xsave etc. Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels. New strategy is as follows: Signal delivery: Both for 32/64-bit frames, align the core math frame area to 64bytes as needed by xsave (this where the main fpu/extended state gets copied to and excludes the legacy compatibility fsave header for the 32-bit [f]xsave frames). If the state is live, copy the register state directly to the user frame. If not live, copy the state in the thread struct to the user frame. And for 32-bit [f]xsave frames, construct the fsave header separately before the actual [f]xsave area. Signal return: As the 32-bit frames with [f]xstate has an additional 'fsave' header, copy everything back from the user sigframe to the fpstate in the task structure and reconstruct the fxstate from the 'fsave' header (Also user passed pointers may not be correctly aligned for any attempt to directly restore any partial state). At the next fpstate usage, everything will be restored to the live CPU registers. For all the 64-bit frames and the 32-bit fsave frame, restore the state from the user sigframe directly to the live CPU registers. 64-bit signals always restored the math frame directly, so we can expect the math frame pointer to be correctly aligned. For 32-bit fsave frames, there are no alignment requirements, so we can restore the state directly. "lat_sig catch" microbenchmark numbers (for x86, x86_64, x86_32 binaries) are with in the noise range with this change.

Recent commit 332afa65 cleaned up a workaround that updates irq_cfg domain for legacy irq's that are handled by the IO-APIC. This was assuming that the recent changes in assign_irq_vector() were sufficient to remove the workaround. But this broke couple of AMD platforms. One of them seems to be sending interrupts to the offline cpu's, resulting in spurious "No irq handler for vector xx (irq -1)" messages when those cpu's come online. And the other platform seems to always send the interrupt to the last logical CPU (cpu-7). Recent changes had an unintended side effect of using only logical cpu-0 in the IO-APIC RTE (during boot for the legacy interrupts) and this broke the legacy interrupts not getting routed to the cpu-7 on the AMD platform, resulting in a boot hang. For now, reintroduce the removed workaround, (essentially not allowing the vector to change for legacy irq's when io-apic starts to handle the irq. Which also addressed the uninteded sife effect of just specifying cpu-0 in the IO-APIC RTE for those irq's during boot).

Some PMUs don't provide a full register set for their sample, specifically 'advanced' PMUs like AMD IBS and Intel PEBS which provide 'better' than regular interrupt accuracy. In this case we use the interrupt regs as basis and over-write some fields (typically IP) with different information. The perf core however uses user_mode() to distinguish user/kernel samples, user_mode() relies on regs->cs. If the interrupt skid pushed us over a boundary the new IP might not be in the same domain as the interrupt. Commit ce5c1fe9 ("perf/x86: Fix USER/KERNEL tagging of samples") tried to fix this by making the perf core use kernel_ip(). This however is wrong (TM), as pointed out by Linus, since it doesn't allow for VM86 and non-zero based segments in IA32 mode. Therefore, provide a new helper to set the regs->ip field, set_linear_ip(), which massages the regs into a suitable state assuming the provided IP is in fact a linear address. Also modify perf_instruction_pointer() and perf_callchain_user() to deal with segments base offsets.

There are two ways to create /sys/firmware/memmap/X sysfs: - firmware_map_add_early When the system starts, it is calledd from e820_reserve_resources() - firmware_map_add_hotplug When the memory is hot plugged, it is called from add_memory() But these functions are called without unifying value of end argument as below: - end argument of firmware_map_add_early() : start + size - 1 - end argument of firmware_map_add_hogplug() : start + size The patch unifies them to "start + size". Even if applying the patch, /sys/firmware/memmap/X/end file content does not change.

Typically, the return value desired for the failure of a function with an integer return value is a negative integer. In these cases, the return value is sometimes a negative integer and sometimes 0, due to a subsequent initialization of the return variable within the loop. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) //<smpl> @r exists@ identifier ret; position p; constant C; expression e1,e3,e4; statement S; @@ ret = -C ... when != ret = e3 when any if@p (...)

Sandy Bridge processors follow the SDM (Vol 3B, Table 15-20) and set both the RIPV and EIPV bits in the MCG_STATUS register to zero for machine checks during instruction fetch. This is more than a little counter-intuitive and means that Linux cannot recover from these errors. Rather than insert special case code at several places in mce.c and mce-severity.c, we pretend the EIPV bit was set for just this case early in processing the machine check.

In the current kernel, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not always cleared when a CPU is offlined. If the CPU that has the disabled irqs in vector_irq is hotplugged again, __setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector and may crash. This bug can be reproduced as following; # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts # vector_irq@cpu7 uncleared # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash To fix this problem, this patch clears vector_irq in __fixup_irqs() when the CPU is offlined. This also reverts commit f6175f5b, which partially fixes this bug by clearing vector in __clear_irq_vector(). But in environments with IOMMU IRQ remapper, it could fail because cfg->domain doesn't contain offlined CPUs. With this patch, the fix in __clear_irq_vector() can be reverted because every vector_irq is already cleared in __fixup_irqs() on offlined CPUs.
