      x86, NMI: Add NMI IPI selftest · 99e8b9ca
      Don Zickus 提交于
      The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI
      instead of IRQ as the way to communicate to the other cpus to
      shutdown.  There were some concerns that various machines may
      have problems with using an NMI IPI.
      
      This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at
      boot. The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine
      panics and we learn the hard way.
      
      Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file
      runs a couple of simple tests and reports the results.  The
      output looks like:
      
      ...
      Brought up 4 CPUs
      ----------------
      | NMI testsuite:
      --------------------
        remote IPI:  ok  |
         local IPI:  ok  |
      --------------------
      Good, all   2 testcases passed! |

      x86: Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h from tables · 303395ac
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the
      tables in arch/x86/syscalls.  All other information, like NR_syscalls,
      is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c.
      
      This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place,
      and allows for kernel space and user space to see different
      information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers
      when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in
      the near future.
      
      This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64
      and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with
      the same mechanism.

      x86-64: Emulate legacy vsyscalls · 5cec93c2
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page.  It contains
      a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who
      knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of
      some other code.
      
      Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic
      incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real
      vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the
      middle.
      
      This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real
      syscalls.  Fortunately sensible programs don't use them.
      The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc
      through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times
      per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the
      development tree.
      
      This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet
      functions are still at a fixed address.  Fixing that might
      involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

      x86: Put back -pg to tsc.o and add no GCOV to vread_tsc_64.o · 89e1be50
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The commit 44259b1a
          Author: Andy Lutomirski <luto@MIT.EDU>
          x86-64: Move vread_tsc into a new file with sensible options
      
      Removed the -pg from tsc.o which caused the function graph tracer
      to go into an infinite function call recursion as it uses the tsc
      internally outside its recursion protection, thus tracing the tsc
      breaks the function graph tracer.
      
      This commit also added the file vread_tsc_64.c that gets used
      by vdso but failed to prevent GCOV from monkeying with it,
      causing userspace to try to access kernel data when GCOV was
      enabled.
      
      Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for pointing out GCOV as the likely
      culprit that added strange kernel accesses into the vread_tsc()
      call.

      x86: Add device tree support · da6b737b
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 提交于
      This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device
      tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at
      least boot protocol 2.09.
      
      Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered
      the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the
      code compile.
      
      The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather
      information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded
      otherwise. This includes things like 
         - which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus?
         - how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC?
         - where could my hpet be?

      x86, trampoline: Common infrastructure for low memory trampolines · 4822b7fc
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Common infrastructure for low memory trampolines.  This code installs
      the trampolines permanently in low memory very early.  It also permits
      multiple pieces of code to be used for this purpose.
      
      This code also introduces a standard infrastructure for computing
      symbol addresses in the trampoline code.
      
      The only change to the actual SMP trampolines themselves is that the
      64-bit trampoline has been made reusable -- the previous version would
      overwrite the code with a status variable; this moves the status
      variable to a separate location.

      irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks · e360adbe
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
      most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
      system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
      
      Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
      a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
      benefit.
      
      The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
      possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
      built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
      
      Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
      callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
      irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
      work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
      processing the work.

      x86, iommu: Add proper dependency sort routine (and sanity check). · 5bef80a4
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于
      We are using a very simple sort routine which sorts the .iommu_table
      array in the order of dependencies. Specifically each structure
      of iommu_table_entry has a field 'depend' which contains the function
      pointer to the IOMMU that MUST be run before us. We sort the array
      of structures so that the struct iommu_table_entry with no
      'depend' field are first, and then the subsequent ones are the
      ones for which the 'depend' function has been already invoked
      (in other words, precede us).
      
      Using the kernel's version 'sort', which is a mergeheap is
      feasible, but would require making the comparison operator
      scan recursivly the array to satisfy the "heapify" process: setting the
      levels properly. The end result would much more complex than it should
      be an it is just much simpler to utilize this simple sort routine.

      With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies
      from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these
      techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform.
      These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the
      performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware
      expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of
      years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this
      feature from the hypervisor.
      
      Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels
      still work fine on VMware's platform.
      Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are,
      Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence
      releases for these products will continue supporting VMI.

      Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW

      0xff800000 - 0xffc00000.  A single page directory entry points to the
      pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page
      table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's
      page table.
      
      This is currently only used by the OLPC XO.  Note that this particular

      Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
      v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
      as Linus noticed it not so long ago.
      
      It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
      regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
      needed for perf either.
      
      Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
      was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
      much simpler approach.
      
      So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
      APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.
