      x86, apic: Fix apic=debug boot crash · 05e40760
      Daniel Kiper 提交于
      Fix a boot crash when apic=debug is used and the APIC is
      not properly initialized.
      
      This issue appears during Xen Dom0 kernel boot but the
      fix is generic and the crash could occur on real hardware
      as well.

      x86, hotplug: Serialize CPU hotplug to avoid bringup concurrency issues · d7c53c9e
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      When testing cpu hotplug code on 32-bit we kept hitting the "CPU%d:
      Stuck ??" message due to multiple cores concurrently accessing the
      cpu_callin_mask, among others.
      
      Since these codepaths are not protected from concurrent access due to
      the fact that there's no sane reason for making an already complex
      code unnecessarily more complex - we hit the issue only when insanely
      switching cores off- and online - serialize hotplugging cores on the
      sysfs level and be done with it.

      kprobes/x86: Fix the return address of multiple kretprobes · 737480a0

      Missed the declaration of sys_execve in the ia64 asm/unistd.h (perhaps
      because there is no reason for it to be there ... it might be a left over
      from the COMPAT code?). Just delete the conflicting version.

      x86-32: Separate 1:1 pagetables from swapper_pg_dir · fd89a137
      Joerg Roedel 提交于
      This patch fixes machine crashes which occur when heavily exercising the
      CPU hotplug codepaths on a 32-bit kernel. These crashes are caused by
      AMD Erratum 383 and result in a fatal machine check exception. Here's
      the scenario:
      
      1. On 32-bit, the swapper_pg_dir page table is used as the initial page
      table for booting a secondary CPU.
      
      2. To make this work, swapper_pg_dir needs a direct mapping of physical
      memory in it (the low mappings). By adding those low, large page (2M)
      mappings (PAE kernel), we create the necessary conditions for Erratum
      383 to occur.
      
      3. Other CPUs which do not participate in the off- and onlining game may
      use swapper_pg_dir while the low mappings are present (when leave_mm is
      called). For all steps below, the CPU referred to is a CPU that is using
      swapper_pg_dir, and not the CPU which is being onlined.
      
      4. The presence of the low mappings in swapper_pg_dir can result
      in TLB entries for addresses below __PAGE_OFFSET to be established
      speculatively. These TLB entries are marked global and large.
      
      5. When the CPU with such TLB entry switches to another page table, this
      TLB entry remains because it is global.
      
      6. The process then generates an access to an address covered by the
      above TLB entry but there is a permission mismatch - the TLB entry
      covers a large global page not accessible to userspace.
      
      7. Due to this permission mismatch a new 4kb, user TLB entry gets
      established. Further, Erratum 383 provides for a small window of time
      where both TLB entries are present. This results in an uncorrectable
      machine check exception signalling a TLB multimatch which panics the
      machine.
      
      There are two ways to fix this issue:
      
              1. Always do a global TLB flush when a new cr3 is loaded and the
              old page table was swapper_pg_dir. I consider this a hack hard
              to understand and with performance implications
      
              2. Do not use swapper_pg_dir to boot secondary CPUs like 64-bit
              does.
      
      This patch implements solution 2. It introduces a trampoline_pg_dir
      which has the same layout as swapper_pg_dir with low_mappings. This page
      table is used as the initial page table of the booting CPU. Later in the
      bringup process, it switches to swapper_pg_dir and does a global TLB
      flush. This fixes the crashes in our test cases.
      
      -v2: switch to swapper_pg_dir right after entering start_secondary() so
      that we are able to access percpu data which might not be mapped in the
      trampoline page table.
