      workqueue: mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall() · 6ee0578b
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall() and thus it will be initialized
      before smp bringup. init_workqueues() registers for the hotcpu notifier
      and thus it should cope with the processors that are brought online after
      the workqueues are initialized.
      
      x86 smp bringup code uses workqueues and uses a workaround for the
      cold boot process (as the workqueues are initialized post smp_init()).
      Marking init_workqueues() as early_initcall() will pave the way for
      cleaning up this code.

      percpu: allow limited allocation before slab is online · 099a19d9
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch updates percpu allocator such that it can serve limited
      amount of allocation before slab comes online.  This is primarily to
      allow slab to depend on working percpu allocator.
      
      Two parameters, PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE and SLOTS, determine how
      much memory space and allocation map slots are reserved.  If this
      reserved area is exhausted, WARN_ON_ONCE() will trigger and allocation
      will fail till slab comes online.
      
      The following changes are made to implement early alloc.
      
      * pcpu_mem_alloc() now checks slab_is_available()
      
      * Chunks are allocated using pcpu_mem_alloc()
      
      * Init paths make sure ai->dyn_size is at least as large as
        PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE.
      
      * Initial alloc maps are allocated in __initdata and copied to
        kmalloc'd areas once slab is online.

      ACPI: Do not try to set up acpi processor stuff on cores exceeding maxcpus= · 75cbfb97
      Thomas Renninger 提交于
      Patch is against latest Linus master branch and is expected to be
      safe bug fix.
      
      You get:
      ACPI: HARDWARE addr space,NOT supported yet
      for each ACPI defined CPU which status is active, but exceeds
      maxcpus= count.
      
      As these "not booted" CPUs do not run an idle routine
      and echo X >/proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling did not work
      I couldn't find a way to really access not onlined/booted
      machines. Still this should get fixed and
      /proc/acpi/processor/X dirs of cores exceeding maxcpus
      should not show up.
      
      I wonder whether this could get cleaned up by truncating possible cpu mask
      and nr_cpu_ids to setup_max_cpus early some day
      (and not exporting setup_max_cpus anymore then).
      But this needs touching of a lot other places...

      For each new populated zone of hotadded node, need to update its pagesets
      with dynamically allocated per_cpu_pageset struct for all possible CPUs:
      
          1) Detach zone->pageset from the shared boot_pageset
             at end of __build_all_zonelists().
      
          2) Use mutex to protect zone->pageset when it's still

      Otherwises, multiple zones of different nodes would share same boot strapping

      x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug states · 0b4b3827
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86
      hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the
      kernel allocators are initialized.
      
      This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch
      specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after
      the kernel has been further initialized.
      
      The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early
      initialization and late initialization.  The kdb_init() was moved into
      the debug core's version of the late init which is called
      dbg_late_init();

      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.

      init: Open /dev/console from rootfs · 2bd3a997
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      To avoid potential problems with an empty /dev open /dev/console
      from rootfs instead of waiting to mount our root filesystem and
      mounting it there.   This effectively guarantees that there will
      be a device node, and it won't be on a filesystem that we will
      ever unmount, so there are no issues with leaving /dev/console
      open and pinning the filesystem.
      
      This is actually more effective than automatically mounting
      devtmpfs on /dev because it removes removes the occasionally
      problematic assumption that /dev/console exists from the boot
      code.
      
      With this patch I was able to throw busybox on my /boot partition
      (which has no /dev directory) and boot into userspace without
      problems.
      
      The only possible negative consequence I can think of is that
      someone out there deliberately used did not use a character device
      that is major 5 minor 2 for /dev/console.  Does anyone know of a
      situation in which that could make sense?

      Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev · 2b2af54a
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs
      very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device
      is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a
      device node in devtmpfs.
      
      Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time,
      and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs.
      Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will
      recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it.
      The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions
      and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still
      needs to be applied by userspace.
      
      If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node
      when the device goes away. If the device node was created by
      userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it
      will no longer be removed by devtmpfs.
      
      If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work
      without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated
      and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel.
      With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem
      where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices.
      
      It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust,
      by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run
      userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide
      a working /dev.

      init: Move sched_clock_init after late_time_init · fa84e9ee
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Some architectures initialize clocks and timers in late_time_init and
      x86 wants to do the same to avoid FIXMAP hackery for calibrating the
      TSC. That would result in undefined sched_clock readout and wreckaged
      printk timestamps again. We probably have those already on archs which
      do all their time/clock setup in late_time_init.
      
      There is no harm to move that after late_time_init except that a few
      more boot timestamps are stale. The scheduler is not active at that
      point so no real wreckage is expected.

      The oops did not reveal any more details about the real stack
      that we have and the system got into an infinite loop of
      recursive pagefaults.
      
      So i booted with CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=y and the 'stacktrace' boot
      parameter. The box did not crash (timings/conditions probably
      changed a tiny bit to trigger the catastrophic crash), but the
      /debug/tracing/stack_trace file was rather revealing:

      There's a lot of fat functions on that stack trace, but
      the largest of all is do_one_initcall(). This is due to
      the boot trace entry variables being on the stack.
      
      Fixing this is relatively easy, initcalls are fundamentally
      serialized, so we can move the local variables to file scope.
      
      Note that this large stack footprint was present for a
      couple of months already - what pushed my system over
      the edge was the addition of kmemleak to the call-chain:

       13)     3044      52   scsi_pool_alloc_command+0x29/0x70
      
      This pushes the total to ~3800 bytes, only a tiny bit
      more was needed to corrupt the on-kernel-stack thread_info.
      
      The fix reduces the stack footprint from 572 bytes
      to 28 bytes.

      x86, intel_txt: Intel TXT reboot/halt shutdown support · 840c2baf
      Joseph Cihula 提交于
      Support for graceful handling of kernel reboots after an Intel(R) TXT launch.
      
      Without this patch, attempting to reboot or halt the system will cause the
      TXT hardware to lock memory upon system restart because the secrets-in-memory
      flag that was set on launch was never cleared.  This will in turn cause BIOS
      to execute a TXT Authenticated Code Module (ACM) that will scrub all of memory
      and then unlock it.  Depending on the amount of memory in the system and its type,
      this may take some time.
      
      This patch creates a 1:1 address mapping to the tboot module and then calls back
      into tboot so that it may properly and securely clean up system state and clear
      the secrets-in-memory flag.  When it has completed these steps, the tboot module
      will reboot or halt the system.

      percpu: use dynamic percpu allocator as the default percpu allocator · e74e3962
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
      dynamic percpu allocator.  The first chunk is allocated using
      embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules.  This ensures that
      the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
      as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
      introduce much breakage.
      
      s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
      range limit the addressing model imposes.  Unfortunately, this breaks
      if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
      archs aren't converted.
      
      The following architectures are affected by this change.
      
      * sh
      * arm
      * cris
      * mips
      * sparc(32)
      * blackfin
      * avr32
      * parisc (broken, under investigation)
      * m32r
      * powerpc(32)
      
      As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
      CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
      CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
      archs.  These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
      conversion is not trivial.
      
      * powerpc(64)
      * sparc(64)
      * ia64
      * alpha
      * s390
      
      Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
      doesn't use default first chunk initialization).  Compile tested on
      sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.
      
      Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc.  The problem is
      still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
      forward and fixing parisc later.
