In the 2.6.33 kernel, the hw_breakpoint API is now used for the performance event counters. The hw_breakpoint_handler() now consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb arch specific code. In order for kgdb to work in conjunction with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and deal with hw breakpoint reservations. The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw breakpoint while kgdb is active. During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures. Kgdb will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw breakpoint registers, per cpu. Right now the hw_breakpoint API does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available, on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state. The intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what restrictions have been imposed as a result. Breakpoint constraints will be dealt with in a future patch. While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint() to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints. The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but neither knows about future reservations for the available hw breakpoint slots.

When we queue an interrupt to the local apic, we set the IRR before the TMR. The vcpu can pick up the IRR and inject the interrupt before setting the TMR, and perhaps even EOI it, causing incorrect behaviour. The race is really insignificant since it can only occur on the first interrupt (usually following interrupts will not change TMR), but it's better closed than open. Fixed by reordering setting the TMR vs IRR. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

Chris McDermott from IBM confirmed that hurricane chipset in IBM summit platforms doesn't support logical flat mode. Irrespective of the other things like apic_id's, total number of logical cpu's, Linux kernel should default to physical mode for this system. The 32-bit kernel does so using the OEM checks for the IBM summit platform. Add a similar OEM platform check for the 64bit kernel too. Otherwise the linux kernel boot can hang on this platform under certain bios/platform settings.

Under Xen 64 bit guests actually run their kernel in ring 3, however the hypervisor takes care of squashing descriptor the RPLs transparently (in order to allow them to continue to differentiate between user and kernel space CS using the RPL). Therefore the Xen paravirt backend should use RPL==0 instead of 1 (or 3). Using RPL==1 causes generic arch code to take incorrect code paths because it uses "testl $3, <CS>, je foo" type tests for a userspace CS and this considers 1==userspace. This issue was previously masked because get_kernel_rpl() was omitted when setting CS in kernel_thread(). This was fixed when kernel_thread() was unified with 32 bit in f443ff42.

The list macros use LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2 as undereferencable pointers in order to trap erronous use of freed list_heads. Unfortunately userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable, potentially turning an oops to an expolit. To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values. This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains areas that cannot be mapped. Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

With the recent irq migration fixes (post 2.6.32), Gary Hade has noticed "No IRQ handler for vector" messages during the 2.6.33-rc1 kernel boot on IBM AMD platforms and root caused the issue to this commit: > commit 23359a88 > Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> > Date: Mon Oct 26 14:24:33 2009 -0800 > > x86: Remove move_cleanup_count from irq_cfg As part of this patch, we have removed the move_cleanup_count check in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(). With this change, we can run into a situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get the "No IRQ handler" messages. Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the new cpu destination).

The invlpg prefault optimization breaks Windows 2008 R2 occasionally. The visible effect is that the invlpg handler instantiates a pte which is, microseconds later, written with a different gfn by another vcpu. The OS could have other mechanisms to prevent a present translation from being used, which the hypervisor is unaware of. While the documentation states that the cpu is at liberty to prefetch tlb entries, it looks like this is not heeded, so remove tlb prefetch from invlpg.

Recently, some distros have started shipping versions of gcc which default to -march=i686. This breaks building kernels for pre-i686 machines, even if they have been selected in Kconfig, due to the generation of CMOV instructions. There isn't enough benefit to try to preserve the generation of these instructions even when selected, so simply force -march=i386 for the decompressor when building a 32-bit kernel.

This reverts commit 9f15226e. It's just wrong, and broke resume for Rafael even on a non-AMD CPU. As Rafael says: "... it causes microcode_init_cpu() to be called during resume even for CPUs for which there's no microcode to apply. That, in turn, results in executing request_firmware() (on Intel CPUs at least) which doesn't work at this stage of resume (we have device interrupts disabled, I/O devices are still suspended and so on). If I'm not mistaken, the "if (uci->valid)" logic means "if that CPU is known to us" , so before commit 9f15226e microcode_resume_cpu() was called for all CPUs already in the system during suspend, which was the right thing to do. The commit changed it so that the CPUs without microcode to apply are now treated as "unknown", which is not quite right. The problem this commit attempted to solve has to be handled differently."
