We had a case where we could turn on hard interrupts while leaving the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS bit set in the PACA. This can in turn cause a BUG_ON() to hit in __check_irq_replay() due to interrupt state getting out of sync. The assembly code was also way too convoluted. Instead, we now leave it to the C code to do the right thing which ends up being smaller and more readable. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

With the embed percpu first chunk allocator, x86 uses either PAGE_SIZE or PMD_SIZE for atom_size. PMD_SIZE is used when CPU supports PSE so that percpu areas are aligned to PMD mappings and possibly allow using PMD mappings in vmalloc areas in the future. Using larger atom_size doesn't waste actual memory; however, it does require larger vmalloc space allocation later on for !first chunks. With reasonably sized vmalloc area, PMD_SIZE shouldn't be a problem but x86_32 at this point is anything but reasonable in terms of address space and using larger atom_size reportedly leads to frequent percpu allocation failures on certain setups. As there is no reason to not use PMD_SIZE on x86_64 as vmalloc space is aplenty and most x86_64 configurations support PSE, fix the issue by always using PMD_SIZE on x86_64 and PAGE_SIZE on x86_32. v2: drop cpu_has_pse test and make x86_64 always use PMD_SIZE and x86_32 PAGE_SIZE as suggested by hpa.

The H_REGISTER_VPA hcall implementation in HV Power KVM needs to pin some guest memory pages into host memory so that they can be safely accessed from usermode. It does this used get_user_pages_fast(). When the VPA is unregistered, or the VCPUs are cleaned up, these pages are released using put_page(). However, the get_user_pages() is invoked on the specific memory are of the VPA which could lie within hugepages. In case the pinned page is huge, we explicitly find the head page of the compound page before calling put_page() on it. At least with the latest kernel, this is not correct. put_page() already handles finding the correct head page of a compound, and also deals with various counts on the individual tail page which are important for transparent huge pages. We don't support transparent hugepages on Power, but even so, bypassing this count maintenance can lead (when the VM ends) to a hugepage being released back to the pool with a non-zero mapcount on one of the tail pages. This can then lead to a bad_page() when the page is released from the hugepage pool. This removes the explicit compound_head() call to correct this bug.

The reason (at least in this case) was that PGD[256] is set to __HYPERVISOR_VIRT_START which was setup (by the hypervisor) to point to a read-only linear map of the MFN->PFN array. During our parsing we would get the MFN (a valid one), try to look it up in the MFN->PFN tree and find it invalid and return ~0 as PFN. Then pte_mfn_to_pfn would happilly feed that in, attach the flags and return it back to the caller. 'ptdump_show' bitshifts it and gets and invalid value that it tries to dereference. Instead of doing all of that, we detect the ~0 case and just return !_PAGE_PRESENT. This bug has been in existence .. at least until 2.6.37 (yikes!)

That means that when xen-acpi-processor tries to load (much much later on) and parse the P-states it gets -ENODEV from acpi_processor_register_performance() (which tries to read the per_cpu(processor)) and fails to parse the data.

If vcpu executes hlt instruction while async PF is waiting to be delivered vcpu can block and deliver async PF only after another even wakes it up.

verify_parent_transid needs to lock the extent range to make sure no IO is underway, and so it can safely clear the uptodate bits if our checks fail. But, a few callers are using it with spinlocks held. Most of the time, the generation numbers are going to match, and we don't want to switch to a blocking lock just for the error case.

Commit 4e8ee7de (ARM: SMP: use idmap_pgd for mapping MMU enable during secondary booting) switched secondary boot to use idmap_pgd, which is initialized during early_initcall, instead of a page table initialized during __cpu_up. This causes idmap_pgd to contain the static mappings but be missing all dynamic mappings. If a console is registered that creates a dynamic mapping, the printk in secondary_start_kernel will trigger a data abort on the missing mapping before the exception handlers have been initialized, leading to a hang. Initial boot is not affected because no consoles have been registered, and resume is usually not affected because the offending console is suspended. Onlining a cpu with hotplug triggers the problem. A workaround is to the printk in secondary_start_kernel until after the page tables have been switched back to init_mm.

The test in pdc_console_tty_close '!tty->count' was always wrong because tty->count is decremented after tty->ops->close is called and thus can never be zero. Hence the 'then' branch was never executed and the timer never deleted. This did not matter until commit 5dd5bc40 ("TTY: pdc_cons, use tty_port"). There we needed to set TTY in tty_port to NULL, but this never happened due to the bug above. So change the test to really trigger at the last close by changing the condition to 'tty->count == 1'. Well, the driver should not touch tty->count at all. It should use tty_port->count and count open count there itself.

Currently, we'll try mounting any device who's major device number is UNNAMED_MAJOR as NFS root. This would happen for non-NFS devices as well (such as 9p devices) but it wouldn't cause any issues since mounting the device as NFS would fail quickly and the code proceeded to doing the proper mount: [ 101.522716] VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy. [ 101.534499] VFS: Mounted root (9p filesystem) on device 0:18. Commit 6829a048102a ("NFS: Retry mounting NFSROOT") introduced retries when mounting NFS root, which means that now we don't immediately fail and instead it takes an additional 90+ seconds until we stop retrying, which has revealed the issue this patch fixes. This meant that it would take an additional 90 seconds to boot when we're not using a device type which gets detected in order before NFS. This patch modifies the NFS type check to require device type to be 'Root_NFS' instead of requiring the device to have an UNNAMED_MAJOR major. This makes boot process cleaner since we now won't go through the NFS mounting code at all when the device isn't an NFS root ("/dev/nfs").

The inline assembly in kernel_execve() uses r8 and r9. Since this code sequence does not return, it usually doesn't matter if the register clobber list is accurate. However, I saw a case where a particular version of gcc used r8 as an intermediate for the value eventually passed to r9. Because r8 is used in the inline assembly, and not mentioned in the clobber list, r9 was set to an incorrect value. This resulted in a kernel panic on execution of the first user-space program in the system. r9 is used in ret_to_user as the thread_info pointer, and if it's wrong, bad things happen.
