If the sentinel triggers, we do not want the boot loader authors to just poke it and make the error go away, we want them to actually fix the problem.

When boot_params->sentinel is set, all we really know is that some undefined set of fields in struct boot_params contain garbage. In the particular case of efi_info, however, there is a private magic for that substructure, so it is generally safe to leave it even if the bootloader is broken. kexec (for which we did the initial analysis) did not initialize this field, but of course all the EFI bootloaders do, and most EFI bootloaders are broken in this respect (and should be fixed.)

When memory is removed, the corresponding pagetables should alse be removed. This patch introduces some common APIs to support vmemmap pagetable and x86_64 architecture direct mapping pagetable removing. All pages of virtual mapping in removed memory cannot be freed if some pages used as PGD/PUD include not only removed memory but also other memory. So this patch uses the following way to check whether a page can be freed or not. 1) When removing memory, the page structs of the removed memory are filled with 0FD. 2) All page structs are filled with 0xFD on PT/PMD, PT/PMD can be cleared. In this case, the page used as PT/PMD can be freed. For direct mapping pages, update direct_pages_count[level] when we freed their pagetables. And do not free the pages again because they were freed when offlining. For vmemmap pages, free the pages and their pagetables. For larger pages, do not split them into smaller ones because there is no way to know if the larger page has been split. As a result, there is no way to decide when to split. We deal the larger pages in the following way: 1) For direct mapped pages, all the pages were freed when they were offlined. And since menmory offline is done section by section, all the memory ranges being removed are aligned to PAGE_SIZE. So only need to deal with unaligned pages when freeing vmemmap pages. 2) For vmemmap pages being used to store page_struct, if part of the larger page is still in use, just fill the unused part with 0xFD. And when the whole page is fulfilled with 0xFD, then free the larger page.

On AMD family 15h processors, there are 4 new performance counters (in addition to 6 core performance counters) that can be used for counting northbridge events (i.e. DRAM accesses). Their bit fields are almost identical to the core performance counters. However, unlike the core performance counters, these MSRs are shared between multiple cores (that share the same northbridge). We will reuse the same code path as existing family 10h northbridge event constraints handler logic to enforce this sharing.

A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads /proc/kcore: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000 IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110 [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff811b8aaa>] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370 [<ffffffff811ad847>] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0 [<ffffffff81151687>] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130 [<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0 [<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page. The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be walked resulting in the oops above. This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check. Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now they are running the backup program without accessing /proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it makes sense.

The calls are obviously incorrect, and confusing. Other efforts have been made to fix this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/26/367 But the real solution is to rewrite the syscall internals and come up with a fixed solution. One that doesn't require all the kluge that the current solution has. Thus for now, instead of outputting incorrect data, simply ignore them. With this patch the changes now have: #> grep lls /debug/tracing/trace #> Compat system calls simply are not traced. If users need compat syscalls, then they should just use the raw syscall tracepoints. For an architecture to make their compat syscalls ignored, it must define ARCH_TRACE_IGNORE_COMPAT_SYSCALLS (done in asm/ftrace.h) and also define an arch_trace_is_compat_syscall() function that will return true if the current task should ignore tracing the syscall. I want to stress that this change does not affect actual syscalls in any way, shape or form. It is only used within the tracing system and doesn't interfere with the syscall logic at all. The changes are consolidated nicely into trace_syscalls.c and asm/ftrace.h. I had to make one small modification to asm/thread_info.h and that was to remove the include of asm/ftrace.h. As asm/ftrace.h required the current_thread_info() it was causing include hell. That include was added back in 2008 when the function graph tracer was added: commit caf4b323 "tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing" It does not need to be included there.

Instead of using a bitfield, use an odd little trick using typeof, __builtin_choose_expr, and sizeof. __builtin_choose_expr is explicitly defined to not convert its type (its argument is required to be a constant expression) so this should be well-defined. The code is still not 100% preturbation-free versus the baseline before 64-bit get_user(), but the differences seem to be very small, mostly related to padding and to gcc deciding when to spill registers.

Even though it is never executed, gcc wants to warn for casting from a large integer to a pointer. Furthermore, using a variable with __typeof__() doesn't work because __typeof__ retains storage specifiers (const, restrict, volatile). However, we can declare a bitfield using sizeof(), which is legal because sizeof() is a constant expression. This quiets the warning, although the code generated isn't 100% identical from the baseline before 96477b4c x86-32: Add support for 64bit get_user(): [x86-mb is baseline, x86-mm is this commit] text data bss filename 113716147 15858380 35037184 tip.x86-mb/o.i386-allconfig/vmlinux 113716145 15858380 35037184 tip.x86-mm/o.i386-allconfig/vmlinux 12989837 3597944 12255232 tip.x86-mb/o.i386-modconfig/vmlinux 12989831 3597944 12255232 tip.x86-mm/o.i386-modconfig/vmlinux 1462784 237608 1401988 tip.x86-mb/o.i386-noconfig/vmlinux 1462837 237608 1401964 tip.x86-mm/o.i386-noconfig/vmlinux 7938994 553688 7639040 tip.x86-mb/o.i386-pae/vmlinux 7943136 557784 7639040 tip.x86-mm/o.i386-pae/vmlinux 7186126 510572 6574080 tip.x86-mb/o.i386/vmlinux 7186124 510572 6574080 tip.x86-mm/o.i386/vmlinux 103747269 33578856 65888256 tip.x86-mb/o.x86_64-allconfig/vmlinux 103746949 33578856 65888256 tip.x86-mm/o.x86_64-allconfig/vmlinux 12116695 11035832 20160512 tip.x86-mb/o.x86_64-modconfig/vmlinux 12116567 11035832 20160512 tip.x86-mm/o.x86_64-modconfig/vmlinux 1700790 380524 511808 tip.x86-mb/o.x86_64-noconfig/vmlinux 1700790 380524 511808 tip.x86-mm/o.x86_64-noconfig/vmlinux 12413612 1133376 1101824 tip.x86-mb/o.x86_64/vmlinux 12413484 1133376 1101824 tip.x86-mm/o.x86_64/vmlinux Cc: Jamie Lokier <jamie@shareable.org> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130209110031.GA17833@n2100.arm.linux.org.ukSigned-off-by: NH.

Therefore there are lines that exceed 80 characters. All the new MMR definitions are added in this patch. The patches that follow then update the references. The last patch is a "trim" patch which reduces the size of the MMR definitions file by about a third. This keeps "bi-sectability" in place as the intermediate patches would not compile correctly if the trimmed MMR defines were done first.

Remove 32-bit x86 a cmdline param "no-hlt", and the cpuinfo_x86.hlt_works_ok that it sets. If a user wants to avoid HLT, then "idle=poll" is much more useful, as it avoids invocation of HLT in idle, while "no-hlt" failed to do so. Indeed, hlt_works_ok was consulted in only 3 places. First, in /proc/cpuinfo where "hlt_bug yes" would be printed if and only if the user booted the system with "no-hlt" -- as there was no other code to set that flag. Second, check_hlt() would not invoke halt() if "no-hlt" were on the cmdline. Third, it was consulted in stop_this_cpu(), which is invoked by native_machine_halt()/reboot_interrupt()/smp_stop_nmi_callback() -- all cases where the machine is being shutdown/reset. The flag was not consulted in the more frequently invoked play_dead()/hlt_play_dead() used in processor offline and suspend. Since Linux-3.0 there has been a run-time notice upon "no-hlt" invocations indicating that it would be removed in 2012. Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Cc: x86@kernel.org

mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient than HLT, starting on Pentium-4 HT-enabled processors. But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states. ACPI processor_idle and intel_idle use only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and no longer use mwait_idle(). Here we simplify the x86 native idle code by removing mwait_idle(), and the "idle=mwait" bootparam used to invoke it. Since Linux 3.0 there has been a boot-time warning when "idle=mwait" was invoked saying it would be removed in 2012. This removal was also noted in the (now removed:-) feature-removal-schedule.txt. After this change, kernels configured with (CONFIG_ACPI=n && CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware that supports MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above can be enabled. Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Cc: x86@kernel.org

Remove the assumption that cstate_tables are indexed by MWAIT flag values. Each entry identifies itself via its own flags value. This change is needed to support multiple states that share the same MWAIT flags. Note that this can have an effect on what state is described by 'N' on cmdline intel_idle.max_cstate=N on some systems. intel_idle.max_cstate=0 still disables the driver intel_idle.max_cstate=1 still results in just C1(E) However, "place holders" in the sparse C-state name-space (eg. Atom) have been removed. Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Cosmetic only. Replace use of MWAIT_MAX_NUM_CSTATES with CPUIDLE_STATE_MAX. They are both 8, so this patch has no functional change. The reason to change is that intel_idle will soon be able to export more than the 8 "major" states supported by MWAIT. When we hit that limit, it is important to know where the limit comes from.

Implement __get_user_8() for x86-32. It will return the 64-bit result in edx:eax register pair, and ecx is used to pass in the address and return the error value. For consistency, change the register assignment for all other __get_user_x() variants, so that address is passed in ecx/rcx, the error value is returned in ecx/rcx, and eax/rax contains the actual value. [ hpa: I modified the patch so that it does NOT change the calling conventions for the existing callsites, this also means that the code is completely unchanged for 64 bits. Instead, continue to use eax for address input/error output and use the ecx:edx register pair for the output. ] This is a partial refresh of a patch [1] by Jamie Lokier from 2004. Only the minimal changes to implement 64bit get_user() were picked from the original patch.
