thread_saved_pc() was using a completely bogus method to get the return address. Since switch_to() was previously inlined, there was no sane way to know where on the stack the return address was stored. Now with the frame of a sleeping thread well defined, this can be implemented correctly.

Move the low-level context switch code to an out-of-line asm stub instead of using complex inline asm. This allows constructing a new stack frame for the child process to make it seamlessly flow to ret_from_fork without an extra test and branch in __switch_to(). It also improves code generation for __schedule() by using the C calling convention instead of clobbering all registers.

Use the more reliable version of ftrace_graph_ret_addr() so we no longer have to worry about the unwinder getting out of sync with the function graph ret_stack index, which can happen if the unwinder skips any frames before calling ftrace_graph_ret_addr().

This allows x86_64 kernels to enable vmapped stacks by setting HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK=y - which enables the CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y high level Kconfig option. There are a couple of interesting bits: First, x86 lazily faults in top-level paging entries for the vmalloc area. This won't work if we get a page fault while trying to access the stack: the CPU will promote it to a double-fault and we'll die. To avoid this problem, probe the new stack when switching stacks and forcibly populate the pgd entry for the stack when switching mms. Second, once we have guard pages around the stack, we'll want to detect and handle stack overflow. I didn't enable it on x86_32. We'd need to rework the double-fault code a bit and I'm concerned about running out of vmalloc virtual addresses under some workloads. This patch, by itself, will behave somewhat erratically when the stack overflows while RSP is still more than a few tens of bytes above the bottom of the stack. Specifically, we'll get #PF and make it to no_context and them oops without reliably triggering a double-fault, and no_context doesn't know about stack overflows. The next patch will improve that case. Thank you to Nadav and Brian for helping me pay enough attention to the SDM to hopefully get this right.

(If we make it to setup_real_mode() without reserving the trampoline, we'll panic them.) - Factor out helpers so that platform code can supply a specific address to try. - Warn if reserve_real_mode() is called after we're done with the memblock allocator.

Since commit: 52aec330 ("x86/tlb: replace INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR by CALL_FUNCTION_VECTOR") the TLB remote shootdown is done through call function vector. That commit didn't take care of irq_tlb_count, which a later commit: fd0f5869 ("x86: Distinguish TLB shootdown interrupts from other functions call interrupts") ... tried to fix. The fix assumes every increase of irq_tlb_count has a corresponding increase of irq_call_count. So the irq_call_count is always bigger than irq_tlb_count and we could substract irq_tlb_count from irq_call_count. Unfortunately this is not true for the smp_call_function_single() case. The IPI is only sent if the target CPU's call_single_queue is empty when adding a csd into it in generic_exec_single. That means if two threads are both adding flush tlb csds to the same CPU's call_single_queue, only one IPI is sent. In other words, the irq_call_count is incremented by 1 but irq_tlb_count is incremented by 2. Over time, irq_tlb_count will be bigger than irq_call_count and the substract will produce a very large irq_call_count value due to overflow. Considering that: 1) it's not worth to send more IPIs for the sake of accurate counting of irq_call_count in generic_exec_single(); 2) it's not easy to tell if the call function interrupt is for TLB shootdown in __smp_call_function_single_interrupt(). Not to exclude TLB shootdown from call function count seems to be the simplest fix and this patch just does that. This bug was found by LKP's cyclic performance regression tracking recently with the vm-scalability test suite. I have bisected to commit: 3dec0ba0 ("mm/rmap: share the i_mmap_rwsem") This commit didn't do anything wrong but revealed the irq_call_count problem. IIUC, the commit makes rwc->remap_one in rmap_walk_file concurrent with multiple threads. When remap_one is try_to_unmap_one(), then multiple threads could queue flush TLB to the same CPU but only one IPI will be sent. Since the commit was added in Linux v3.19, the counting problem only shows up from v3.19 onwards.

A recent patch changed the format of a swap PTE. The comment explaining the format of the swap PTE is wrong about the bits used for the swap type field. Amusingly, the ASCII art and the patch description are correct, but the comment itself is wrong. As I was looking at this, I also noticed that the SWP_OFFSET_FIRST_BIT has an off-by-one error. This does not really hurt anything. It just wasted a bit of space in the PTE, giving us 2^59 bytes of addressable space in our swapfiles instead of 2^60. But, it doesn't match with the comments, and it wastes a bit of space, so fix it.

There's a subtle preemption race on UP kernels: Usually current->mm (and therefore mm->pgd) stays the same during the lifetime of a task so it does not matter if a task gets preempted during the read and write of the CR3. But then, there is this scenario on x86-UP: TaskA is in do_exit() and exit_mm() sets current->mm = NULL followed by: -> mmput() -> exit_mmap() -> tlb_finish_mmu() -> tlb_flush_mmu() -> tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() -> tlb_flush() -> flush_tlb_mm_range() -> __flush_tlb_up() -> __flush_tlb() -> __native_flush_tlb() At this point current->mm is NULL but current->active_mm still points to the "old" mm. Let's preempt taskA _after_ native_read_cr3() by taskB. TaskB has its own mm so CR3 has changed. Now preempt back to taskA. TaskA has no ->mm set so it borrows taskB's mm and so CR3 remains unchanged. Once taskA gets active it continues where it was interrupted and that means it writes its old CR3 value back. Everything is fine because userland won't need its memory anymore. Now the fun part: Let's preempt taskA one more time and get back to taskB. This time switch_mm() won't do a thing because oldmm (->active_mm) is the same as mm (as per context_switch()). So we remain with a bad CR3 / PGD and return to userland. The next thing that happens is handle_mm_fault() with an address for the execution of its code in userland. handle_mm_fault() realizes that it has a PTE with proper rights so it returns doing nothing. But the CPU looks at the wrong PGD and insists that something is wrong and faults again. And again. And one more time… This pagefault circle continues until the scheduler gets tired of it and puts another task on the CPU. It gets little difficult if the task is a RT task with a high priority. The system will either freeze or it gets fixed by the software watchdog thread which usually runs at RT-max prio.

Guided by grsecurity's analogous __read_only markings in arch/x86, this applies several uses of __ro_after_init to structures that are only updated during __init, and const for some structures that are never updated. Additionally extends __init markings to some functions that are only used during __init, and cleans up some missing C99 style static initializers.

This patch eliminates a source of imprecise APIC timer interrupts, which imprecision may result in double interrupts or even late interrupts. The TSC deadline clockevent devices' configuration and registration happens before the TSC frequency calibration is refined in tsc_refine_calibration_work(). This results in the TSC clocksource and the TSC deadline clockevent devices being configured with slightly different frequencies: the former gets the refined one and the latter are configured with the inaccurate frequency detected earlier by means of the "Fast TSC calibration using PIT". Within the APIC code, introduce the notifier function lapic_update_tsc_freq() which reconfigures all per-CPU TSC deadline clockevent devices with the current tsc_khz. Call it from the TSC code after TSC calibration refinement has happened.

The low-level resume-from-hibernation code on x86-64 uses kernel_ident_mapping_init() to create the temoprary identity mapping, but that function assumes that the offset between kernel virtual addresses and physical addresses is aligned on the PGD level. However, with a randomized identity mapping base, it may be aligned on the PUD level and if that happens, the temporary identity mapping created by set_up_temporary_mappings() will not reflect the actual kernel identity mapping and the image restoration will fail as a result (leading to a kernel panic most of the time). To fix this problem, rework kernel_ident_mapping_init() to support unaligned offsets between KVA and PA up to the PMD level and make set_up_temporary_mappings() use it as approprtiate.

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
When I initially added the unsafe_[get|put]_user() helpers in commit 5b24a7a2 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses"), I made the mistake of modeling the interface on our traditional __[get|put]_user() functions, which return zero on success, or -EFAULT on failure. That interface is fairly easy to use, but it's actually fairly nasty for good code generation, since it essentially forces the caller to check the error value for each access. In particular, since the error handling is already internally implemented with an exception handler, and we already use "asm goto" for various other things, we could fairly easily make the error cases just jump directly to an error label instead, and avoid the need for explicit checking after each operation. So switch the interface to pass in an error label, rather than checking the error value in the caller. Best do it now before we start growing more users (the signal handling code in particular would be a good place to use the new interface). So rather than if (unsafe_get_user(x, ptr)) ... handle error .. the interface is now unsafe_get_user(x, ptr, label); where an error during the user mode fetch will now just cause a jump to 'label' in the caller. Right now the actual _implementation_ of this all still ends up being a "if (err) goto label", and does not take advantage of any exception label tricks, but for "unsafe_put_user()" in particular it should be fairly straightforward to convert to using the exception table model. Note that "unsafe_get_user()" is much harder to convert to a clever exception table model, because current versions of gcc do not allow the use of "asm goto" (for the exception) with output values (for the actual value to be fetched). But that is hopefully not a limitation in the long term. [ Also note that it might be a good idea to switch unsafe_get_user() to actually _return_ the value it fetches from user space, but this commit only changes the error handling semantics ] Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data. However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned long will do fine: 1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits. 2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the attributes are passed by value. Semantic patches for this change (at least most of them): virtual patch virtual context @r@ identifier f, attrs; @@ f(..., - struct dma_attrs *attrs + unsigned long attrs , ...) { ... } @@ identifier r.f; @@ f(..., - NULL + 0 ) and // Options: --all-includes virtual patch virtual context @r@ identifier f, attrs; type t; @@ t f(..., struct dma_attrs *attrs); @@ identifier r.f; @@ f(..., - NULL + 0 ) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1468399300-5399-2-git-send-email-k.kozlowski@samsung.comSigned-off-by: NKrzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@samsung.com> Acked-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Acked-by: NRobin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> Acked-by: NHans-Christian Noren Egtvedt <egtvedt@samfundet.no> Acked-by: Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com> [c6x] Acked-by: Jesper Nilsson <jesper.nilsson@axis.com> [cris] Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> [drm] Reviewed-by: NBart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@sandisk.com> Acked-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de> [iommu] Acked-by: Fabien Dessenne <fabien.dessenne@st.com> [bdisp] Reviewed-by: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com> [vb2-core] Acked-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> [xen] Acked-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> [xen swiotlb] Acked-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de> [iommu] Acked-by: Richard Kuo <rkuo@codeaurora.org> [hexagon] Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> [m68k] Acked-by: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com> [s390] Acked-by: NBjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@linaro.org> Acked-by: Hans-Christian Noren Egtvedt <egtvedt@samfundet.no> [avr32] Acked-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> [arc] Acked-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> [arm64 and dma-iommu] Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous. In practical terms, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but the author might have used it for the meaning of IS_ENABLED(). Using IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN(), IS_MODULE() etc. makes the intention clearer. This commit replaces config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() where possible. This commit is only touching bool config options. I noticed two cases where config_enabled() is used against a tristate option: - config_enabled(CONFIG_HWMON) [ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/thermal.c ] - config_enabled(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE) [ drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/opregion.c ] I did not touch them because they should be converted to IS_BUILTIN() in order to keep the logic, but I was not sure it was the authors' intention.

In general, there's no need for the "restore sigmask" flag to live in ti->flags. alpha, ia64, microblaze, powerpc, sh, sparc (64-bit only), tile, and x86 use essentially identical alternative implementations, placing the flag in ti->status. Replace those optimized implementations with an equally good common implementation that stores it in a bitfield in struct task_struct and drop the custom implementations. Additional architectures can opt in by removing their TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK defines.

Add support for Intel's AVX-512 instructions to the instruction decoder. AVX-512 instructions are documented in Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference (February 2016). AVX-512 instructions are identified by a EVEX prefix which, for the purpose of instruction decoding, can be treated as though it were a 4-byte VEX prefix. Existing instructions which can now accept an EVEX prefix need not be further annotated in the op code map (x86-opcode-map.txt). In the case of new instructions, the op code map is updated accordingly. Also add associated Mask Instructions that are used to manipulate mask registers used in AVX-512 instructions. The 'perf tools' instruction decoder is updated in a subsequent patch. And a representative set of instructions is added to the perf tools new instructions test in a subsequent patch.

So the reserve_ebda_region() code has accumulated a number of problems over the years that make it really difficult to read and understand: - The calculation of 'lowmem' and 'ebda_addr' is an unnecessarily interleaved mess of first lowmem, then ebda_addr, then lowmem tweaks... - 'lowmem' here means 'super low mem' - i.e. 16-bit addressable memory. In other parts of the x86 code 'lowmem' means 32-bit addressable memory... This makes it super confusing to read. - It does not help at all that we have various memory range markers, half of which are 'start of range', half of which are 'end of range' - but this crucial property is not obvious in the naming at all ... gave me a headache trying to understand all this. - Also, the 'ebda_addr' name sucks: it highlights that it's an address (which is obvious, all values here are addresses!), while it does not highlight that it's the _start_ of the EBDA region ... - 'BIOS_LOWMEM_KILOBYTES' says a lot of things, except that this is the only value that is a pointer to a value, not a memory range address! - The function name itself is a misnomer: it says 'reserve_ebda_region()' while its main purpose is to reserve all the firmware ROM typically between 640K and 1MB, while the 'EBDA' part is only a small part of that ... - Likewise, the paravirt quirk flag name 'ebda_search' is misleading as well: this too should be about whether to reserve firmware areas in the paravirt case. - In fact thinking about this as 'end of RAM' is confusing: what this function *really* wants to reserve is firmware data and code areas! Once the thinking is inverted from a mixed 'ram' and 'reserved firmware area' notion to a pure 'reserved area' notion everything becomes a lot clearer. To improve all this rewrite the whole code (without changing the logic): - Firstly invert the naming from 'lowmem end' to 'BIOS reserved area start' and propagate this concept through all the variable names and constants. BIOS_RAM_SIZE_KB_PTR // was: BIOS_LOWMEM_KILOBYTES BIOS_START_MIN // was: INSANE_CUTOFF ebda_start // was: ebda_addr bios_start // was: lowmem BIOS_START_MAX // was: LOWMEM_CAP - Then clean up the name of the function itself by renaming it to reserve_bios_regions() and renaming the ::ebda_search paravirt flag to ::reserve_bios_regions. - Fix up all the comments (fix typos), harmonize and simplify their formulation and remove comments that become unnecessary due to the much better naming all around.

Monitored cached line may not wake up from mwait on certain Goldmont based CPUs. This patch will avoid calling current_set_polling_and_test() and thereby not set the TIF_ flag. The result is that we'll always send IPIs for wakeups.

On Intel hardware, native_play_dead() uses mwait_play_dead() by default and only falls back to the other methods if that fails. That also happens during resume from hibernation, when the restore (boot) kernel runs disable_nonboot_cpus() to take all of the CPUs except for the boot one offline. However, that is problematic, because the address passed to __monitor() in mwait_play_dead() is likely to be written to in the last phase of hibernate image restoration and that causes the "dead" CPU to start executing instructions again. Unfortunately, the page containing the address in that CPU's instruction pointer may not be valid any more at that point. First, that page may have been overwritten with image kernel memory contents already, so the instructions the CPU attempts to execute may simply be invalid. Second, the page tables previously used by that CPU may have been overwritten by image kernel memory contents, so the address in its instruction pointer is impossible to resolve then. A report from Varun Koyyalagunta and investigation carried out by Chen Yu show that the latter sometimes happens in practice. To prevent it from happening, temporarily change the smp_ops.play_dead pointer during resume from hibernation so that it points to a special "play dead" routine which uses hlt_play_dead() and avoids the inadvertent "revivals" of "dead" CPUs this way. A slightly unpleasant consequence of this change is that if the system is hibernated with one or more CPUs offline, it will generally draw more power after resume than it did before hibernation, because the physical state entered by CPUs via hlt_play_dead() is higher-power than the mwait_play_dead() one in the majority of cases. It is possible to work around this, but it is unclear how much of a problem that's going to be in practice, so the workaround will be implemented later if it turns out to be necessary.
