There are precedences of trap number being referred to as trap_nr. However thread struct refers trap number as trap_no. Change it to trap_nr. Also use enum instead of left-over literals for trap values. This is pure cleanup, no functional change intended.

This inlines what is usually just a couple of instructions, but more importantly it also fixes the theoretical error case (can that FPU restore really ever fail? Maybe we should remove the checking). We can't start sending signals from within the scheduler, we're much too deep in the kernel and are holding the runqueue lock etc. So don't bother even trying.

After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870e ("i387: do not preload FPU state at task switch time"). However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements preloading with several fixes, most notably - properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as open-coded save and restore with various hacks. In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for no good reason. - Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the way they save and restore segment state differently due to architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state. - Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines, and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit. That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use 'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the state saving also trashes the state. In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving, rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to follow as a result.

This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own (called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu. This fixes two independent bugs at the same time: - changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was supposed to indicate). So perfectly valid code could (and did) do ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK; and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store. In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low fat and preemption-safe. - On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd thread_info copy aliases. This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel away the FPU state. (It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers). It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is found there too. Thanks to Arjan Van De Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for pointing us to the %esp issue.

The AMD K7/K8 CPUs don't save/restore FDP/FIP/FOP unless an exception is pending. In order to not leak FIP state from one process to another, we need to do a floating point load after the fxsave of the old process, and before the fxrstor of the new FPU state. That resets the state to the (uninteresting) kernel load, rather than some potentially sensitive user information. We used to do this directly after the FPU state save, but that is actually very inconvenient, since it (a) corrupts what is potentially perfectly good FPU state that we might want to lazy avoid restoring later and (b) on x86-64 it resulted in a very annoying ordering constraint, where "__unlazy_fpu()" in the task switch needs to be delayed until after the DS segment has been reloaded just to get the new DS value. Coupling it to the fxrstor instead of the fxsave automatically avoids both of these issues, and also ensures that we only do it when actually necessary (the FP state after a save may never actually get used). It's simply a much more natural place for the leaked state cleanup. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Yes, taking the trap to re-load the FPU/MMX state is expensive, but so is spending several days looking for a bug in the state save/restore code. And the preload code has some rather subtle interactions with both paravirtualization support and segment state restore, so it's not nearly as simple as it should be. Also, now that we no longer necessarily depend on a single bit (ie TS_USEDFPU) for keeping track of the state of the FPU, we migth be able to do better. If we are really switching between two processes that keep touching the FP state, save/restore is inevitable, but in the case of having one process that does most of the FPU usage, we may actually be able to do much better than the preloading. In particular, we may be able to keep track of which CPU the process ran on last, and also per CPU keep track of which process' FP state that CPU has. For modern CPU's that don't destroy the FPU contents on save time, that would allow us to do a lazy restore by just re-enabling the existing FPU state - with no restore cost at all!

This creates three helper functions that do the TS_USEDFPU accesses, and makes everybody that used to do it by hand use those helpers instead. In addition, there's a couple of helper functions for the "change both CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU at the same time" case, and the places that do that together have been changed to use those. That means that we have fewer random places that open-code this situation. The intent is partly to clarify the code without actually changing any semantics yet (since we clearly still have some hard to reproduce bug in this area), but also to make it much easier to use another approach entirely to caching the CR0.TS bit for software accesses. Right now we use a bit in the thread-info 'status' variable (this patch does not change that), but we might want to make it a full field of its own or even make it a per-cpu variable.

Commit 5b1cbac3 ("i387: make irq_fpu_usable() tests more robust") added a sanity check to the #NM handler to verify that we never cause the "Device Not Available" exception in kernel mode. However, that check actually pinpointed a (fundamental) race where we do cause that exception as part of the signal stack FPU state save/restore code. Because we use the floating point instructions themselves to save and restore state directly from user mode, we cannot do that atomically with testing the TS_USEDFPU bit: the user mode access itself may cause a page fault, which causes a task switch, which saves and restores the FP/MMX state from the kernel buffers. This kind of "recursive" FP state save is fine per se, but it means that when the signal stack save/restore gets restarted, it will now take the '#NM' exception we originally tried to avoid. With preemption this can happen even without the page fault - but because of the user access, we cannot just disable preemption around the save/restore instruction. There are various ways to solve this, including using the "enable/disable_page_fault()" helpers to not allow page faults at all during the sequence, and fall back to copying things by hand without the use of the native FP state save/restore instructions. However, the simplest thing to do is to just allow the #NM from kernel space, but fix the race in setting and clearing CR0.TS that this all exposed: the TS bit changes and the TS_USEDFPU bit absolutely have to be atomic wrt scheduling, so while the actual state save/restore can be interrupted and restarted, the act of actually clearing/setting CR0.TS and the TS_USEDFPU bit together must not. Instead of just adding random "preempt_disable/enable()" calls to what is already excessively ugly code, this introduces some helper functions that mostly mirror the "kernel_fpu_begin/end()" functionality, just for the user state instead. Those helper functions should probably eventually replace the other ad-hoc CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU tests too, but I'll need to think about it some more: the task switching functionality in particular needs to expose the difference between the 'prev' and 'next' threads, while the new helper functions intentionally were written to only work with 'current'.

Some code - especially the crypto layer - wants to use the x86 FP/MMX/AVX register set in what may be interrupt (typically softirq) context. That *can* be ok, but the tests for when it was ok were somewhat suspect. We cannot touch the thread-specific status bits either, so we'd better check that we're not going to try to save FP state or anything like that. Now, it may be that the TS bit is always cleared *before* we set the USEDFPU bit (and only set when we had already cleared the USEDFP before), so the TS bit test may actually have been sufficient, but it certainly was not obviously so. So this explicitly verifies that we will not touch the TS_USEDFPU bit, and adds a few related sanity-checks. Because it seems that somehow AES-NI is corrupting user FP state. The cause is not clear, and this patch doesn't fix it, but while debugging it I really wanted the code to be more obviously correct and robust.

Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out a case that can cause issues with NMIs running on the debug stack: int3 -> interrupt -> NMI -> int3 Because the interrupt changes the stack, the NMI will not see that it preempted the debug stack. Looking deeper at this case, interrupts only happen when the int3 is from userspace or in an a location in the exception table (fixup). userspace -> int3 -> interurpt -> NMI -> int3 All other int3s that happen in the kernel should be processed without ever enabling interrupts, as the do_trap() call will panic the kernel if it is called to process any other location within the kernel. Adding a counter around the sections that enable interrupts while using the debug stack allows the NMI to also check that case. If the NMI sees that it either interrupted a task using the debug stack or the debug counter is non-zero, then it will have to change the IDT table to make the int3 not change stacks (which will corrupt the stack if it does). Note, I had to move the debug_usage functions out of processor.h and into debugreg.h because of the static inlined functions to inc and dec the debug_usage counter. __get_cpu_var() requires smp.h which includes processor.h, and would fail to build.

We want to allow NMI handlers to have breakpoints to be able to remove stop_machine from ftrace, kprobes and jump_labels. But if an NMI interrupts a current breakpoint, and then it triggers a breakpoint itself, it will switch to the breakpoint stack and corrupt the data on it for the breakpoint processing that it interrupted. Instead, have the NMI check if it interrupted breakpoint processing by checking if the stack that is currently used is a breakpoint stack. If it is, then load a special IDT that changes the IST for the debug exception to keep the same stack in kernel context. When the NMI is done, it puts it back. This way, if the NMI does trigger a breakpoint, it will keep using the same stack and not stomp on the breakpoint data for the breakpoint it interrupted.

There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page. It contains a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of some other code. Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the middle. This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real syscalls. Fortunately sensible programs don't use them. The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the development tree. This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet functions are still at a fixed address. Fixing that might involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

With hpet as the clocksource, these interrupts don't increment any more and the old nmi_watchdog triggers false postives. This piece removes the old nmi_watchdog code and stubs out any variables and functions calls. The stubs are the same ones used by the new nmi_watchdog code, so it should be well tested.

Impact: fix kernel bug such as: BUG: scheduling while atomic: dosemu.bin/19680/0x00000004 See also Ubuntu bug 455067 at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/455067 Commits 4915a35e ("Use preempt_conditional_sti/cli in do_int3, like on x86_64.") and 3d2a71a5 ("x86, traps: converge do_debug handlers") started disabling preemption in int1 and int3 handlers on i386. The problem with vm86 is that the call to handle_vm86_trap() may jump straight to entry_32.S and never returns so preempt is never enabled again, and there is an imbalance in the preempt count. Commit be716615 ("x86, vm86: fix preemption bug"), which was later (accidentally?) reverted by commit 08d68323 ("hw-breakpoints: modifying generic debug exception to use thread-specific debug registers") fixed the problem for debug exceptions but not for breakpoints. There are three solutions to this problem. 1. Reenable preemption before calling handle_vm86_trap(). This was the approach that was later reverted. 2. Do not disable preemption for i386 in breakpoint and debug handlers. This was the situation before October 2008. As far as I understand preemption only needs to be disabled on x86_64 because a seperate stack is used, but it's nice to have things work the same way on i386 and x86_64. 3. Let handle_vm86_trap() return instead of jumping to assembly code. By setting a flag in _TIF_WORK_MASK, either TIF_IRET or TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, the code in entry_32.S is instructed to return to 32 bit mode from V86 mode. The logic in entry_32.S was already present to handle signals. (I chose TIF_IRET because it's slightly more efficient in do_notify_resume() in signal.c, but in fact TIF_IRET can probably be replaced by TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME everywhere.) I'm submitting approach 3, because I believe it is the most elegant and prevents future confusion. Still, an obvious preempt_conditional_cli(regs); is necessary in traps.c to correct the bug. [ hpa: This is technically a regression, but because: 1. the regression is so old, 2. the patch seems relatively high risk, justifying more testing, and 3. we're late in the 2.6.36-rc cycle, I'm queuing it up for the 2.6.37 merge window. It might, however, justify as a -stable backport at a latter time, hence Cc: stable. ] Signed-off-by: NBart Oldeman <bartoldeman@users.sourceforge.net> LKML-Reference: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1009231312330.4732@localhost.localdomain> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NH.

Before we had a generic breakpoint layer, x86 used to send a sigtrap for any debug event that happened in userspace, except if it was caused by lazy dr7 switches. Currently we only send such signal for single step or breakpoint events. However, there are three other kind of debug exceptions: - debug register access detected: trigger an exception if the next instruction touches the debug registers. We don't use it. - task switch, but we don't use tss. - icebp/int01 trap. This instruction (0xf1) is undocumented and generates an int 1 exception. Unlike single step through TF flag, it doesn't set the single step origin of the exception in dr6. icebp then used to be reported in userspace using trap signals but this have been incidentally broken with the new breakpoint code. Reenable this. Since this is the only debug event that doesn't set anything in dr6, this is all we have to check. This fixes a regression in Wine where World Of Warcraft got broken as it uses this for software protection checks purposes. And probably other apps do.

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock, notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a triple fault is to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception handler. Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: NDon Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NFrederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

The only difference between FPU and SIMD exceptions is where the status bits are read from (cwd/swd vs. mxcsr).

The cache flush denied error is an erratum on some AMD 486 clones. If an invd instruction is executed in userspace, the processor calls exception 19 (13 hex) instead of #GP (13 decimal). On cpus where XMM is not supported, redirect exception 19 to do_general_protection(). Also, remove die_if_kernel(), since this was the last user.

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.
