      ACPI, APEI, Use ERST for persistent storage of MCE · 482908b4
      Huang Ying 提交于
      Traditionally, fatal MCE will cause Linux print error log to console
      then reboot. Because MCE registers will preserve their content after
      warm reboot, the hardware error can be logged to disk or network after
      reboot. But system may fail to warm reboot, then you may lose the
      hardware error log. ERST can help here. Through saving the hardware
      error log into flash via ERST before go panic, the hardware error log
      can be gotten from the flash after system boot successful again.
      
      The fatal MCE processing procedure with ERST involved is as follow:
      
      - Hardware detect error, MCE raised
      - MCE read MCE registers, check error severity (fatal), prepare error record
      - Write MCE error record into flash via ERST
      - Go panic, then trigger system reboot
      - System reboot, /sbin/mcelog run, it reads /dev/mcelog to check flash
        for error record of previous boot via ERST, and output and clear
        them if available
      - /sbin/mcelog logs error records into disk or network
      
      ERST only accepts CPER record format, but there is no pre-defined CPER
      section can accommodate all information in struct mce, so a customized
      section type is defined to hold struct mce inside a CPER record as an
      error section.

      ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source memory error support · d334a491
      Huang Ying 提交于
      Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
      hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
      "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
      firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
      non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
      can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
      information for Linux.
      
      Now, only SCI notification type and memory errors are supported. More
      notification type and hardware error type will be added later. These
      memory errors are reported to user space through /dev/mcelog via
      faking a corrected Machine Check, so that the error memory page can be
      offlined by /sbin/mcelog if the error count for one page is beyond the
      threshold.
      
      On some machines, Machine Check can not report physical address for
      some corrected memory errors, but GHES can do that. So this simplified
      GHES is implemented firstly.

      The L3 cache index disable feature of AMD CPUs has to be disabled if the
      kernel is running as guest on top of a hypervisor because northbridge
      devices are not available to the guest. Currently, this fixes a boot
      crash on top of Xen. In the future this will become an issue on KVM as
      well.
      
      Check if northbridge devices are present and do not enable the feature
      if there are none.

      kprobes/x86: Fix removed int3 checking order · 829e9245
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Fix kprobe/x86 to check removed int3 when failing to get kprobe
      from hlist. Since we have a time window between checking int3
      exists on probed address and getting kprobe on that address,
      we can have following scenario:
      
       -------
       CPU1                     CPU2
       hit int3
       check int3 exists
                                remove int3
                                remove kprobe from hlist
       get kprobe from hlist
       no kprobe->OOPS!
       -------
      
      This patch moves int3 checking if there is no kprobe on that
      address for fixing this problem as follows:
      
       ------
       CPU1                     CPU2
       hit int3
                                remove int3

      VMware Balloon driver · 453dc659
      Dmitry Torokhov 提交于
      This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver.  Ballooning is a
      technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory
      available to the guest (with guest cooperation).  In the overcommit
      scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some
      memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and
      the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor.  Later hypervisor
      may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and
      instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.
      
      We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity)
      expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into
      virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with
      virtio.
      
      There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the
      right thing.  If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are
      prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like
      to get this driver upstream.
      
      We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not
      have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have
      "upstream first" requirement.
      
      The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on
      VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it
      will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional
      risk in pulling the driver into mainline.  The driver will only activate
      if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

      x86: Disable large pages on CPUs with Atom erratum AAE44 · 7a0fc404
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Atom erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41:
      
      "If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE (page
      directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through this
      PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old TLB
      entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses
      this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then
      it may fetch from a different physical address than specified by
      either the old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page
      translation. This erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from
      incorrect addresses."
      
      [http://download.intel.com/design/processor/specupdt/319536.pdf]
      
      Where as commit 211b3d03 seems to
      workaround errata AAH41 (mixed 4K TLBs) it reduces the window of
      opportunity for the bug to occur and does not totally remove it.  This
      patch disables mixed 4K/4MB page tables totally avoiding the page
      splitting and not tripping this processor issue.
      
      This is based on an original patch by Colin King.

      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      When we do a thread switch, we clear the outgoing FS/GS base if the
      corresponding selector is nonzero.  This is taken by __switch_to() as
      an entry invariant; it does not verify that it is true on entry.
      However, copy_thread() doesn't enforce this constraint, which can
      result in inconsistent results after fork().
      
      Make copy_thread() match the behavior of __switch_to().

      perf: Fix unsafe frame rewinding with hot regs fetching · ab285f2b
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      When we fetch the hot regs and rewind to the nth caller, it
      might happen that we dereference a frame pointer outside the
      kernel stack boundaries, like in this example:
      
      	perf_trace_sched_switch+0xd5/0x120
              schedule+0x6b5/0x860
              retint_careful+0xd/0x21
      
      Since we directly dereference a userspace frame pointer here while
      rewinding behind retint_careful, this may end up in a crash.
      
      Fix this by simply using probe_kernel_address() when we rewind the
      frame pointer.
      
      This issue will have a much more proper fix in the next version of the
      perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() API that will only need to rewind to the
      first caller.

      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Jan Grossmann reported kernel boot panic while booting SMP
      kernel on his system with a single core cpu. SMP kernels call
      enable_IR_x2apic() from native_smp_prepare_cpus() and on
      platforms where the kernel doesn't find SMP configuration we
      ended up again calling enable_IR_x2apic() from the
      APIC_init_uniprocessor() call in the smp_sanity_check(). Thus
      leading to kernel panic.
      
      Don't call enable_IR_x2apic() and default_setup_apic_routing()
      from APIC_init_uniprocessor() in CONFIG_SMP case.
      
      NOTE: this kind of non-idempotent and assymetric initialization
      sequence is rather fragile and unclean, we'll clean that up
      in v2.6.35. This is the minimal fix for v2.6.34.

      When profiling a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, callgraph tracing
      stopped after the first function, because it has seen a garbage memory
      address (tried to interpret the frame pointer, and return address as a

      Note that TIF_IA32 flag must be used, and not is_compat_task(), because
      the latter is only set when the 32-bit process is executing a syscall,
      which may not always be the case (when tracing page fault events for
      example).

      perf, x86: Fix AMD hotplug & constraint initialization · b38b24ea
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Commit 3f6da390 ("perf: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooks") moved
      the amd northbridge allocation from CPUS_ONLINE to CPUS_PREPARE_UP
      however amd_nb_id() doesn't work yet on prepare so it would simply bail
      basically reverting to a state where we do not properly track node wide
      constraints - causing weird perf results.
      
      Fix up the AMD NorthBridge initialization code by allocating from
      CPU_UP_PREPARE and installing it from CPU_STARTING once we have the
      proper nb_id. It also properly deals with the allocation failing.

      x86, hpet: Fix bug in RTC emulation · b4a5e8a1
      Alok Kataria 提交于
      We think there exists a bug in the HPET code that emulates the RTC.
      
      In the normal case, when the RTC frequency is set, the rtc driver tells
      the hpet code about it here:
      
      int hpet_set_periodic_freq(unsigned long freq)
      {
              uint64_t clc;
      
              if (!is_hpet_enabled())
                      return 0;
      
              if (freq <= DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ)
                      hpet_pie_limit = DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ / freq;
              else {
                      clc = (uint64_t) hpet_clockevent.mult * NSEC_PER_SEC;
                      do_div(clc, freq);
                      clc >>= hpet_clockevent.shift;
                      hpet_pie_delta = (unsigned long) clc;
              }
              return 1;
      }
      
      If freq is set to 64Hz (DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ) or lower, then
      hpet_pie_limit (a static) is set to non-zero.  Then, on every one-shot
      HPET interrupt, hpet_rtc_timer_reinit is called to compute the next
      timeout.  Well, that function has this logic:
      
              if (!(hpet_rtc_flags & RTC_PIE) || hpet_pie_limit)
                      delta = hpet_default_delta;
              else
                      delta = hpet_pie_delta;
      
      Since hpet_pie_limit is not 0, hpet_default_delta is used.  That
      corresponds to 64Hz.
      
      Now, if you set a different rtc frequency, you'll take the else path
      through hpet_set_periodic_freq, but unfortunately no one resets
      hpet_pie_limit back to 0.
      
      Boom....now you are stuck with 64Hz RTC interrupts forever.
      
      The patch below just resets the hpet_pie_limit value when requested freq
      is greater than DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ, which we think fixes this problem.

      This is a chipset erratum.
      
      Thomas: You mentioned we can retain this check only for known-buggy and
      hpet debug kind of options. But here is the simple workaround patch for
      this particular erratum.
      
      Some chipsets have a erratum due to which read immediately following a
      write of HPET comparator returns old comparator value instead of most
      recently written value.
      
      Erratum 15 in
      "Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Specification Update"
      (http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/specupdate/316973.pdf)
      
      Workaround for the errata is to read the comparator twice if the first
      one fails.

      x86: Handle overlapping mptables · 909fc87b
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      We found a system where the MP table MPC and MPF structures overlap.
      
      That doesn't really matter because the mptable is not used anyways with ACPI,
      but it leads to a panic in the early allocator due to the overlapping
      reservations in 2.6.33.
      
      Earlier kernels handled this without problems.
      
      Simply change these reservations to reserve_early_overlap_ok to avoid
      the panic.

      perf: Use hot regs with software sched switch/migrate events · e49a5bd3
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Scheduler's task migration events don't work because they always
      pass NULL regs perf_sw_event(). The event hence gets filtered
      in perf_swevent_add().
      
      Scheduler's context switches events use task_pt_regs() to get
      the context when the event occured which is a wrong thing to
      do as this won't give us the place in the kernel where we went
      to sleep but the place where we left userspace. The result is
      even more wrong if we switch from a kernel thread.
      
      Use the hot regs snapshot for both events as they belong to the
      non-interrupt/exception based events family. Unlike page faults
      or so that provide the regs matching the exact origin of the event,
      we need to save the current context.
      
      This makes the task migration event working and fix the context
      switch callchains and origin ip.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      x86: Make sure free_init_pages() frees pages on page boundary · c967da6a
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or
      in a more compact fashion.
      
      Example:
      
       Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57
       Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56
      
      The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned.
      Last page could be shared with other users.
      
      When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page
      could be freed and we could corrupt other data.
      
      code segment in free_init_pages():
      
       |        for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) {
       |                ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr));
       |                init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr));
       |                memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)),
       |                        POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE);
       |                free_page(addr);
       |                totalram_pages++;
       |        }
      
      last half page could be used as one whole free page.
      
      So page align the boundaries.
      
      -v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to
           Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page.
           we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could
           confuse decompressor.
      -v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes.
      -v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes.
           We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN
           Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned
           in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it
           to make diff smaller. Add warning for wrong range, suggested by Johannes.
      -v6: remove one WARN()
           We need to align beginning in free_init_pages()
           do not copy more than ramdisk_size, noticed by Johannes

      x86, amd: Restrict usage of c1e_idle() · 035a02c1
      Andreas Herrmann 提交于
      Currently c1e_idle returns true for all CPUs greater than or equal to
      family 0xf model 0x40. This covers too many CPUs.
      
      Meanwhile a respective erratum for the underlying problem was filed
      (#400). This patch adds the logic to check whether erratum #400
      applies to a given CPU.
      Especially for CPUs where SMI/HW triggered C1e is not supported,
      c1e_idle() doesn't need to be used. We can check this by looking at
      the respective OSVW bit for erratum #400.

      perf: Fix unexported generic perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs · dcd5c166
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() is exported for the overriden x86
      version, but not for the generic weak version.
      
      As a general rule, weak functions should not have their symbol
      exported in the same file they are defined.
      
      So let's export it on trace_event_perf.c as it is used by trace
      events only.
      
      This fixes:
      
      	ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [fs/xfs/xfs.ko] undefined!
      	ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko] undefined!

      x86: Handle legacy PIC interrupts on all the cpu's · 36e9e1ea
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Ingo Molnar reported that with the recent changes of not
      statically blocking IRQ0_VECTOR..IRQ15_VECTOR's on all the
      cpu's, broke an AMD platform (with Nvidia chipset) boot when
      "noapic" boot option is used.
      
      On this platform, legacy PIC interrupts are getting delivered to
      all the cpu's instead of just the boot cpu. Thus not
      initializing the vector to irq mapping for the legacy irq's
      resulted in not handling certain interrupts causing boot hang.
      
      Fix this by initializing the vector to irq mapping on all the
      logical cpu's, if the legacy IRQ is handled by the legacy PIC.
