Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by reading from disk). But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever be able to recover. Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing. Gen1: All memory is mirrored Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the mirror Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers Pro: Keep more of the capacity Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory controller Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance Con: I have to write memory management code to implement The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations. This has been broken into two phases: 1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time allocations 2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because page_alloc.c is scary).

sparc: Resolve conflict between sparc v9 and M7 on usage of bit 9 of TTE Bit 9 of TTE is CV (Cacheable in V-cache) on sparc v9 processor while the same bit 9 is MCDE (Memory Corruption Detection Enable) on M7 processor. This creates a conflicting usage of the same bit. Kernel sets TTE.cv bit on all pages for sun4v architecture which works well for sparc v9 but enables memory corruption detection on M7 processor which is not the intent. This patch adds code to determine if kernel is running on M7 processor and takes steps to not enable memory corruption detection in TTE erroneously.

Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers. Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly disabled). In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults. With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs. We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling might_sleep(). Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this is needed. faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files.

由 Naoya Horiguchi 提交于
Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this patch tries to remove the m. The basic idea is to put the default implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols (regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement arch-specific code only when the arch needs it. For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as default. As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is. So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation. In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code. One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL. This means that we need arch-specific implementation which returns NULL. This behavior looks strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it. Justification of non-trivial changes: - in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.) - in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because they are identical in both archs. In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20. In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.

Load balancing can be triggered in the critical sections protected by srmmu_context_spinlock in destroy_context() and switch_mm() and can hang the cpu waiting for the rq lock of another cpu that in turn has called switch_mm hangning on srmmu_context_spinlock leading to deadlock. So, disable interrupt while taking srmmu_context_spinlock in destroy_context() and switch_mm() so we don't deadlock.

swapper_low_pmd_dir and swapper_pud_dir are actually completely useless and unnecessary. We just need swapper_pg_dir[]. Naturally the other page table chunks will be allocated on an as-needed basis. Since the kernel actually accesses these tables in the PAGE_OFFSET view, there is not even a TLB locality advantage of placing them in the kernel image. Use the hard coded vmlinux.ld.S slot for swapper_pg_dir which is naturally page aligned. Increase MAX_BANKS to 1024 in order to handle heavily fragmented virtual guests. Even with this MAX_BANKS increase, the kernel is 20K+ smaller. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: NBob Picco <bob.picco@oracle.com>

In order to accomodate embedded per-cpu allocation with large numbers of cpus and numa nodes, we have to use as much virtual address space as possible for the vmalloc region. Otherwise we can get things like: PERCPU: max_distance=0x380001c10000 too large for vmalloc space 0xff00000000 So, once we select a value for PAGE_OFFSET, derive the size of the vmalloc region based upon that.

If max_phys_bits needs to be > 43 (f.e. for T4 chips), things like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC stop working because the 3-level page tables only can cover up to 43 bits. Another problem is that when we increased MAX_PHYS_ADDRESS_BITS up to 47, several statically allocated tables became enormous. Compounding this is that we will need to support up to 49 bits of physical addressing for M7 chips. The two tables in question are sparc64_valid_addr_bitmap and kpte_linear_bitmap. The first holds a bitmap, with 1 bit for each 4MB chunk of physical memory, indicating whether that chunk actually exists in the machine and is valid. The second table is a set of 2-bit values which tell how large of a mapping (4MB, 256MB, 2GB, 16GB, respectively) we can use at each 256MB chunk of ram in the system. These tables are huge and take up an enormous amount of the BSS section of the sparc64 kernel image. Specifically, the sparc64_valid_addr_bitmap is 4MB, and the kpte_linear_bitmap is 128K. So let's solve the space wastage and the DEBUG_PAGEALLOC problem at the same time, by using the kernel page tables (as designed) to manage this information. We have to keep using large mappings when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is disabled, and we do this by encoding huge PMDs and PUDs. On a T4-2 with 256GB of ram the kernel page table takes up 16K with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC disabled and 256MB with it enabled. Furthermore, this memory is dynamically allocated at run time rather than coded statically into the kernel image. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

When we have to split up a flush request into multiple pieces (in order to avoid the firmware range) we don't specify the arguments in the right order for the second piece. Fix the order, or else we get hangs as the code tries to flush "a lot" of entries and we get lockups like this: [ 4422.981276] NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#12 stuck for 23s!

The "mem" boot option can result in many unexpected consequences. This patch attempts to prevent boot hangs which have been experienced on T4-4 and T5-8. Basically the boot loader allocates vmlinuz and initrd higher in available OBP physical memory. For example, on a 2Tb T5-8 it isn't possible to boot with mem=20G. The patch utilizes memblock to avoid reserved regions and trim memory which is only free. Other improvements are possible for a multi-node machine. This is a snippet of the boot log with mem=20G on T5-8 with the patch applied: MEMBLOCK configuration: <- before memory reduction memory size = 0x1ffad6ce000 reserved size = 0xa1adf44 memory.cnt = 0xb memory[0x0] [0x00000030400000-0x00003fdde47fff], 0x3fada48000 bytes memory[0x1] [0x00003fdde4e000-0x00003fdde4ffff], 0x2000 bytes memory[0x2] [0x00080000000000-0x00083fffffffff], 0x4000000000 bytes memory[0x3] [0x00100000000000-0x00103fffffffff], 0x4000000000 bytes memory[0x4] [0x00180000000000-0x00183fffffffff], 0x4000000000 bytes memory[0x5] [0x00200000000000-0x00203fffffffff], 0x4000000000 bytes memory[0x6] [0x00280000000000-0x00283fffffffff], 0x4000000000 bytes memory[0x7] [0x00300000000000-0x00303fffffffff], 0x4000000000 bytes memory[0x8] [0x00380000000000-0x00383fffc71fff], 0x3fffc72000 bytes memory[0x9] [0x00383fffc92000-0x00383fffca1fff], 0x10000 bytes memory[0xa] [0x00383fffcb4000-0x00383fffcb5fff], 0x2000 bytes reserved.cnt = 0x2 reserved[0x0] [0x00380000000000-0x0038000117e7f8], 0x117e7f9 bytes reserved[0x1] [0x00380004000000-0x0038000d02f74a], 0x902f74b bytes ...

We have seen an issue with guest boot into LDOM that causes early boot failures because of no matching rules for node identitity of the memory. I analyzed this on my T4 and concluded there might not be a solution. I saw the issue in mainline too when booting into the control/primary domain - with guests configured. Note, this could be a firmware bug on some older machines. I'll provide a full explanation of the issues below. Should we not find a matching BEST latency group for a real address (RA) then we will assume node 0. On the T4-2 here with the information provided I can't see an alternative. Technically the LDOM shown below should match the MBLOCK to the favorable latency group. However other factors must be considered too. Were the memory controllers configured "fine" grained interleave or "coarse" grain interleaved - T4. Also should a "group" MD node be considered a NUMA node? There has to be at least one Machine Description (MD) "group" and hence one NUMA node. The group can have one or more latency groups (lg) - more than one memory controller. The current code chooses the smallest latency as the most favorable per group. The latency and lg information is in MLGROUP below. MBLOCK is the base and size of the RAs for the machine as fetched from OBP /memory "available" property. My machine has one MBLOCK but more would be possible - with holes? For a T4-2 the following information has been gathered: with LDOM guest MEMBLOCK configuration: memory size = 0x27f870000 memory.cnt = 0x3 memory[0x0] [0x00000020400000-0x0000029fc67fff], 0x27f868000 bytes memory[0x1] [0x0000029fd8a000-0x0000029fd8bfff], 0x2000 bytes memory[0x2] [0x0000029fd92000-0x0000029fd97fff], 0x6000 bytes reserved.cnt = 0x2 reserved[0x0] [0x00000020800000-0x000000216c15c0], 0xec15c1 bytes reserved[0x1] [0x00000024800000-0x0000002c180c1e], 0x7980c1f bytes MBLOCK[0]: base[20000000] size[280000000] offset[0] (note: "base" and "size" reported in "MBLOCK" encompass the "memory[X]" values) (note: (RA + offset) & mask = val is the formula to detect a match for the memory controller. should there be no match for find_node node, a return value of -1 resulted for the node - BAD) There is one group.

We've witnessed a few TLB events causing the machine to power off because of prom_halt. In one case it was some nfs related area during rmmod. Another was an mmapper of /dev/mem. A more recent one is an ITLB issue with a bad pagesize which could be a hardware bug. Bugs happen but we should attempt to not power off the machine and/or hang it when possible. This is a DTLB error from an mmapper of /dev/mem: [root@sparcie ~]# SUN4V-DTLB: Error at TPC[fffff80100903e6c], tl 1 SUN4V-DTLB: TPC<0xfffff80100903e6c> SUN4V-DTLB: O7[fffff801081979d0] SUN4V-DTLB: O7<0xfffff801081979d0> SUN4V-DTLB: vaddr[fffff80100000000] ctx[1250] pte[98000000000f0610] error[2] . This is recent mainline for ITLB: [ 3708.179864] SUN4V-ITLB: TPC<0xfffffc010071cefc> [ 3708.188866] SUN4V-ITLB: O7[fffffc010071cee8] [ 3708.197377] SUN4V-ITLB: O7<0xfffffc010071cee8> [ 3708.206539] SUN4V-ITLB: vaddr[e0003] ctx[1a3c] pte[2900000dcc800eeb] error[4] . Normally sun4v_itlb_error_report() and sun4v_dtlb_error_report() would call prom_halt() and drop us to OF command prompt "ok". This isn't the case for LDOMs and the machine powers off. For the HV reported error of HV_ENORADDR for HV HV_MMU_MAP_ADDR_TRAP we cause a SIGBUS error by qualifying it within do_sparc64_fault() for fault code mask of FAULT_CODE_BAD_RA. This is done when trap level (%tl) is less or equal one("1"). Otherwise, for %tl > 1, we proceed eventually to die_if_kernel(). The logic of this patch was partially inspired by David Miller's feedback. Power off of large sparc64 machines is painful. Plus die_if_kernel provides more context. A reset sequence isn't a brief period on large sparc64 but better than power-off/power-on sequence.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset. Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment. __get_cpu_var() is defined as : #define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var))) __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation. this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables. This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers are used when code is generated. At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too. The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base. Transformations done to __get_cpu_var() 1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor. DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y); int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y); Converts to int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y); 2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved. DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]); int *x = __get_cpu_var(y); Converts to int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y); 3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu variable. DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y); int x = __get_cpu_var(y) Converts to int x = __this_cpu_read(y); 4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y); struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y); Converts to memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x)); 5. Assignment to a per cpu variable DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y) __get_cpu_var(y) = x; Converts to __this_cpu_write(y, x); 6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y); __get_cpu_var(y)++ Converts to __this_cpu_inc(y) Cc: sparclinux@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: NDavid S.

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze. In commit db64fe02 ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") lazy VMAP tlb flushing was added to the vmalloc layer. This causes problems on sparc64. Sparc64 has two VMAP mapped regions and they are not contiguous with eachother. First we have the malloc mapping area, then another unrelated region, then the vmalloc region. This "another unrelated region" is where the firmware is mapped. If the lazy TLB flushing logic in the vmalloc code triggers after we've had both a module unload and a vfree or similar, it will pass an address range that goes from somewhere inside the malloc region to somewhere inside the vmalloc region, and thus covering the openfirmware area entirely. The sparc64 kernel learns about openfirmware's dynamic mappings in this region early in the boot, and then services TLB misses in this area. But openfirmware has some locked TLB entries which are not mentioned in those dynamic mappings and we should thus not disturb them. These huge lazy TLB flush ranges causes those openfirmware locked TLB entries to be removed, resulting in all kinds of problems including hard hangs and crashes during reboot/reset. Besides causing problems like this, such huge TLB flush ranges are also incredibly inefficient. A plea has been made with the author of the VMAP lazy TLB flushing code, but for now we'll put a safety guard into our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation. Since the implementation has become non-trivial, stop defining it as a macro and instead make it a function in a C source file. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The assumption was that update_mmu_cache() (and the equivalent for PMDs) would only be called when the PTE being installed will be accessible by the user. This is not true for code paths originating from remove_migration_pte(). There are dire consequences for placing a non-valid PTE into the TSB. The TLB miss frramework assumes thatwhen a TSB entry matches we can just load it into the TLB and return from the TLB miss trap. So if a non-valid PTE is in there, we will deadlock taking the TLB miss over and over, never satisfying the miss. Just exit early from update_mmu_cache() and friends in this situation.

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're bugs for other archs. So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other archs get interested in enabling this feature. Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage migration is supported in vma_migratable().

Access to the TSB hash tables during TLB misses requires that there be an atomic 128-bit quad load available so that we fetch a matching TAG and DATA field at the same time. On cpus prior to UltraSPARC-III only virtual address based quad loads are available. UltraSPARC-III and later provide physical address based variants which are easier to use. When we only have virtual address based quad loads available this means that we have to lock the TSB into the TLB at a fixed virtual address on each cpu when it runs that process. We can't just access the PAGE_OFFSET based aliased mapping of these TSBs because we cannot take a recursive TLB miss inside of the TLB miss handler without risking running out of hardware trap levels (some trap combinations can be deep, such as those generated by register window spill and fill traps). Without huge pages it's working perfectly fine, but when the huge TSB got added another chunk of fixed virtual address space was not allocated for this second TSB mapping. So we were mapping both the 8K and 4MB TSBs to the same exact virtual address, causing multiple TLB matches which gives undefined behavior. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This was found using Dave Jone's trinity tool. When a user process which is 32-bit performs a load or a store, the cpu chops off the top 32-bits of the effective address before translating it. This is because we run 32-bit tasks with the PSTATE_AM (address masking) bit set. We can't run the kernel with that bit set, so when the kernel accesses userspace no address masking occurs. Since a 32-bit process will have no mappings in that region we will properly fault, so we don't try to handle this using access_ok(), which can safely just be a NOP on sparc64. Real faults from 32-bit processes should never generate such addresses so a bug check was added long ago, and it barks in the logs if this happens. But it also barks when a kernel user access causes this condition, and that _can_ happen. For example, if a pointer passed into a system call is "0xfffffffc" and the kernel access 4 bytes offset from that pointer. Just handle such faults normally via the exception entries.
