      x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump · 0ee1dd9f
      由 Josh Poimboeuf 提交于 
      For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack
values:

  ...
  [registers]
  Stack:
   ffff880079af7350 ffff880079905400 0000000000000000 ffffc900008f3ae0
   ffffffffa0196610 0000000000000001 00010000ffffffff 0000000087654321
   0000000000000002 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000
  Call Trace:
  ...

This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed
anymore.  It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be
actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses.

Linus says:

  "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be
   useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because
   stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I
   definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having
   used them in the last ten+ years.

   Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've
   likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so
   useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above
   harder."

This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the
'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.

      x86, numa: Remove configurable node size support for numa emulation · ca2107c9
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      Now that numa=fake=<size>[MG] is implemented, it is possible to remove
configurable node size support.  The command-line parsing was already
broken (numa=fake=*128, for example, would not work) and since fake nodes
are now interleaved over physical nodes, this support is no longer
required.

      x86, numa: Add fixed node size option for numa emulation · 8df5bb34
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      numa=fake=N specifies the number of fake nodes, N, to partition the
system into and then allocates them by interleaving over physical nodes.
This requires knowledge of the system capacity when attempting to
allocate nodes of a certain size: either very large nodes to benchmark
scalability of code that operates on individual nodes, or very small
nodes to find bugs in the VM.

This patch introduces numa=fake=<size>[MG] so it is possible to specify
the size of each node to allocate.  When used, nodes of the size
specified will be allocated and interleaved over the set of physical
nodes.

FAKE_NODE_MIN_SIZE was also moved to the more-appropriate
include/asm/numa_64.h.

      x86, mce: Add boot options for corrected errors · 62fdac59
      由 Hidetoshi Seto 提交于 
      This patch introduces three boot options (no_cmci, dont_log_ce
and ignore_ce) to control handling for corrected errors.

The "mce=no_cmci" boot option disables the CMCI feature.

Since CMCI is a new feature so having boot controls to disable
it will be a help if the hardware is misbehaving.

The "mce=dont_log_ce" boot option disables logging for corrected
errors. All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently.
This option will be useful if you never care about corrected
errors.

The "mce=ignore_ce" boot option disables features for corrected
errors, i.e. polling timer and cmci.  All corrected events are
not cleared and kept in bank MSRs.

Usually this disablement is not recommended, however it will be
a help if there are some conflict with the BIOS or hardware
monitoring applications etc., that clears corrected events in
banks instead of OS.

[ And trivial cleanup (space -> tab) for doc is included. ]

      x86, mce: switch x86 machine check handler to Monarch election. · 3c079792
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      On Intel platforms machine check exceptions are always broadcast to
all CPUs.  This patch makes the machine check handler synchronize all
these machine checks, elect a Monarch to handle the event and collect
the worst event from all CPUs and then process it first.

This has some advantages:

- When there is a truly data corrupting error the system panics as
  quickly as possible. This improves containment of corrupted
  data and makes sure the corrupted data never hits stable storage.

- The panics are synchronized and do not reenter the panic code
  on multiple CPUs (which currently does not handle this well).

- All the errors are reported. Currently it often happens that
  another CPU happens to do the panic first, but reports useless
  information (empty machine check) because the real error
  happened on another CPU which came in later.
  This is a big advantage on Nehalem where the 8 threads per CPU
  lead to often the wrong CPU winning the race and dumping
  useless information on a machine check.  The problem also occurs
  in a less severe form on older CPUs.

- The system can detect when no CPUs detected a machine check
  and shut down the system.  This can happen when one CPU is so
  badly hung that that it cannot process a machine check anymore
  or when some external agent wants to stop the system by
  asserting the machine check pin.  This follows Intel hardware
  recommendations.

- This matches the recommended error model by the CPU designers.

- The events can be output in true severity order

- When a panic happens on another CPU it makes sure to be actually
  be able to process the stop IPI by enabling interrupts.

The code is extremly careful to handle timeouts while waiting
for other CPUs. It can't rely on the normal timing mechanisms
(jiffies, ktime_get) because of its asynchronous/lockless nature,
so it uses own timeouts using ndelay() and a "SPINUNIT"

The timeout is configurable. By default it waits for upto one
second for the other CPUs.  This can be also disabled.

From some informal testing AMD systems do not see to broadcast
machine checks, so right now it's always disabled by default on
non Intel CPUs or also on very old Intel systems.

      mm, x86: remove MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE related code · 888a589f
      由 Yinghai Lu 提交于 
      after:

 | commit b263295d
 | Author: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
 | Date:   Wed Jan 30 13:30:47 2008 +0100
 |
 |    x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model

we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore.

Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.

This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet.

Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the

      x86_64: mcelog tolerant level cleanup · bd78432c
      由 Tim Hockin 提交于 
      Background:
 The MCE handler has several paths that it can take, depending on various
 conditions of the MCE status and the value of the 'tolerant' knob.  The
 exact semantics are not well defined and the code is a bit twisty.

Description:
 This patch makes the MCE handler's behavior more clear by documenting the
 behavior for various 'tolerant' levels.  It also fixes or enhances
 several small things in the handler.  Specifically:
     * If RIPV is set it is not safe to restart, so set the 'no way out'
       flag rather than the 'kill it' flag.
     * Don't panic() on correctable MCEs.
     * If the _OVER bit is set *and* the _UC bit is set (meaning possibly
       dropped uncorrected errors), set the 'no way out' flag.
     * Use EIPV for testing whether an app can be killed (SIGBUS) rather
       than RIPV.  According to docs, EIPV indicates that the error is
       related to the IP, while RIPV simply means the IP is valid to
       restart from.
     * Don't clear the MCi_STATUS registers until after the panic() path.
       This leaves the status bits set after the panic() so clever BIOSes
       can find them (and dumb BIOSes can do nothing).

 This patch also calls nonseekable_open() in mce_open (as suggested by akpm).

Result:
 Tolerant levels behave almost identically to how they always have, but
 not it's well defined.  There's a slightly higher chance of panic()ing
 when multiple errors happen (a good thing, IMHO).  If you take an MBE and
 panic(), the error status bits are not cleared.

Alternatives:
 None.

Testing:
 I used software to inject correctable and uncorrectable errors.  With
 tolerant = 3, the system usually survives.  With tolerant = 2, the system
 usually panic()s (PCC) but not always.  With tolerant = 1, the system
 always panic()s.  When the system panic()s, the BIOS is able to detect
 that the cause of death was an MC4.  I was not able to reproduce the
 case of a non-PCC error in userspace, with EIPV, with (tolerant < 3).
 That will be rare at best.

For example:

This is beneficial for systems where the exact size of RAM is unknown or not

known based on their capacity for resource management.

      [PATCH] x86-64: configurable fake numa node sizes · 8b8ca80e
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable
node sizes.  These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for coarse
memory resource management.

The old command-line option is still supported:
  numa=fake=32	gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the
		actual machine.

But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice:
  numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256
		gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and
		the rest of system memory to a sixth node.

The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes
that are possible with this implementation.

Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available
pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range.  The total
available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the number of equal
nodes to allocate.  These nodes are then dynamically allocated and their
borders extended until such time as their number of available pages reaches
the required size.

Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with cpusets
for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated with scanning
the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().

      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.

Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.
