Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be used to define the amount of ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE on a system, respectively. This requires the system memory capacity to be known when specifying the command line, however. This introduces the ability to define both kernelcore= and movablecore= as a percentage of total system memory. This is convenient for systems software that wants to define the amount of ZONE_MOVABLE, for example, as a proportion of a system's memory rather than a hardcoded byte value. To define the percentage, the final character of the parameter should be a '%'. mhocko: "why is anyone using these options nowadays?" rientjes: : : Fragmentation of non-__GFP_MOVABLE pages due to low on memory : situations can pollute most pageblocks on the system, as much as 1GB of : slab being fragmented over 128GB of memory, for example. When the : amount of kernel memory is well bounded for certain systems, it is : better to aggressively reclaim from existing MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE : pageblocks rather than eagerly fallback to others. : : We have additional patches that help with this fragmentation if you're : interested, specifically kcompactd compaction of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE : pageblocks triggered by fallback of non-__GFP_MOVABLE allocations and : draining of pcp lists back to the zone free area to prevent stranding.

7570a333 ("PCI: Add pcie_hp=nomsi to disable MSI/MSI-X for pciehp driver") added the "pcie_hp=nomsi" kernel parameter to work around this error on shutdown: irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Pid: 1081, comm: reboot Not tainted 3.2.0 #1 ... Disabling IRQ #16 This happened on an unspecified system (possibly involving the Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Device 807f bridge) where "an un-wanted interrupt is generated when PCI driver switches from MSI/MSI-X to INTx while shutting down the device." The implication was that the device was buggy, but it is normal for a device to use INTx after MSI/MSI-X have been disabled. The only problem was that the driver was still attached and it wasn't prepared for INTx interrupts. Prarit Bhargava fixed this issue with fda78d7a ("PCI/MSI: Stop disabling MSI/MSI-X in pci_device_shutdown()"). There is no automated way to set this parameter, so it's not very useful for distributions or end users. It's really only useful for debugging, and we have "pci=nomsi" for that purpose.

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up. Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant, and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when doing cross-architecture changes.

For most GICv3 implementations, enabling LPIs is a one way switch. Once they're on, there is no turning back, which completely kills kexec (pending tables will always be live, and we can't tell the secondary kernel where they are). This is really annoying if you plan to use Linux as a bootloader, as it pretty much guarantees that the secondary kernel won't be able to use MSIs, and may even see some memory corruption. Bad. A workaround for this unfortunate situation is to allow the kernel not to enable LPIs, even if the feature is present in the HW. This would allow Linux-as-a-bootloader to leave LPIs alone, and let the secondary kernel to do whatever it wants with them. Let's introduce a boolean "irqchip.gicv3_nolpi" command line option that serves that purpose. Signed-off-by: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

I think we need to soften the language a bit. It might scare folks off, especially the: We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible. which is not really the case. Linus says: It's not full disclosure, it's not coordinated disclosure, and it's not "no disclosure". It's more like just "timely open fixes".

If you pass in an invalid audit boot parameter value, e.g. "audit=off", the kernel panics very early in boot before the regular console is initialized. Unless you have earlyprintk enabled, there is no indication of what the problem is on the console. Convert the panic() calls to pr_err(), and leave auditing enabled if an invalid parameter value was passed in. Modify the parameter to also accept "on" or "off" as valid values, and update the documentation accordingly.

Add a more versatile memmap= operator, which -- in addition to all the things that were possible before -- allows you to: - redeclare existing ranges -- before, you were limited to adding ranges; - drop any range -- like a mem= for any location; - use any e820 memory type -- not just some predefined ones. The syntax is: memmap=<size>%<offset>-<oldtype>+<newtype> Size and offset work as usual. The "-<oldtype>" and "+<newtype>" are optional and their existence determine the behavior: The command works on the specified range of memory limited to type <oldtype> (if specified). This memory is then configured to show up as <newtype>. If <newtype> is not specified, the memory is removed from the e820 map. Signed-off-by: NJan H.

SPCR is currently only enabled or ARM64 and x86 can use SPCR to setup an early console. General fixes include updating Documentation & Kconfig (for x86), updating comments, and changing parse_spcr() to acpi_parse_spcr(), and earlycon_init_is_deferred to earlycon_acpi_spcr_enable to be more descriptive. On x86, many systems have a valid SPCR table but the table version is not 2 so the table version check must be a warning. On ARM64 when the kernel parameter earlycon is used both the early console and console are enabled. On x86, only the earlycon should be enabled by by default. Modify acpi_parse_spcr() to allow options for initializing the early console and console separately.

The 'noreplace-paravirt' option disables paravirt patching, leaving the original pv indirect calls in place. That's highly incompatible with retpolines, unless we want to uglify paravirt even further and convert the paravirt calls to retpolines. As far as I can tell, the option doesn't seem to be useful for much other than introducing surprising corner cases and making the kernel vulnerable to Spectre v2. It was probably a debug option from the early paravirt days. So just remove it.

Add a spectre_v2= option to select the mitigation used for the indirect branch speculation vulnerability. Currently, the only option available is retpoline, in its various forms. This will be expanded to cover the new IBRS/IBPB microcode features. The RETPOLINE_AMD feature relies on a serializing LFENCE for speculation control.

Only try to enable a 64-bit window on AMD CPUs when "pci=big_root_window" is specified. This taints the kernel because the new 64-bit window uses address space we don't know anything about, and it may contain unreported devices or memory that would conflict with the window. The pci_amd_enable_64bit_bar() quirk that enables the window is specific to AMD CPUs. The generic solution would be to have the firmware enable the window and describe it in the host bridge's _CRS method, or at least describe it in the _PRS method so the OS would have the option of enabling it.

由 Sergey Senozhatsky 提交于
0day and kernelCI automatically parse kernel log - basically some sort of grepping using the pre-defined text patterns - in order to detect and report regressions/errors. There are several sources they get the kernel logs from: a) dmesg or /proc/ksmg This is the preferred way. Because `dmesg --raw' (see later Note) and /proc/kmsg output contains facility and log level, which greatly simplifies grepping for EMERG/ALERT/CRIT/ERR messages. b) serial consoles This option is harder to maintain, because serial console messages don't contain facility and log level. This patch introduces a `console_msg_format=' command line option, to switch between different message formatting on serial consoles. For the time being we have just two options - default and syslog. The "default" option just keeps the existing format. While the "syslog" option makes serial console messages to appear in syslog format [syslog() syscall], matching the `dmesg -S --raw' and `cat /proc/kmsg' output formats: - facility and log level - time stamp (depends on printk_time/PRINTK_TIME) - message <%u>[time stamp] text\n NOTE: while Kevin and Fengguang talk about "dmesg --raw", it's actually "dmesg -S --raw" that always prints messages in syslog format [per Petr Mladek]. Running "dmesg --raw" may produce output in non-syslog format sometimes. console_msg_format=syslog enables syslog format, thus in documentation we mention "dmesg -S --raw", not "dmesg --raw". Per Kevin Hilman: : Right now we can get this info from a "dmesg --raw" after bootup, : but it would be really nice in certain automation frameworks to : have a kernel command-line option to enable printing of loglevels : in default boot log. : : This is especially useful when ingesting kernel logs into advanced : search/analytics frameworks (I'm playing with and ELK stack: Elastic : Search, Logstash, Kibana). : : The other important reason for having this on the command line is that : for testing linux-next (and other bleeding edge developer branches), : it's common that we never make it to userspace, so can't even run : "dmesg --raw" (or equivalent.) So we really want this on the primary : boot (serial) console. Per Fengguang Wu, 0day scripts should quickly benefit from that feature, because they will be able to switch to a more reliable parsing, based on messages' facility and log levels [1]: `#{grep} -a -E -e '^<[0123]>' -e '^kern :(err |crit |alert |emerg )' instead of doing text pattern matching `#{grep} -a -F -f /lkp/printk-error-messages #{kmsg_file} | grep -a -v -E -f #{LKP_SRC}/etc/oops-pattern | grep -a -v -F -f #{LKP_SRC}/etc/kmsg-blacklist` [1] https://github.com/fengguang/lkp-tests/blob/master/lib/dmesg.rb Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171221054149.4398-1-sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com To: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Kevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: LKML <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NSergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: NFengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Reviewed-by: NKevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com> Tested-by: NKevin Hilman <khilman@baylibre.com> Signed-off-by: NPetr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>
