The test_fp_ctl function is used to test if a given value is a valid floating-point control. The inline assembly in test_fp_ctl uses an incorrect constraint for the 'orig_fpc' variable. If the compiler chooses the same register for 'fpc' and 'orig_fpc' the test_fp_ctl() function always returns true. This allows user space to trigger kernel oopses with invalid floating-point control values on the signal stack. This problem has been introduced with git commit 4725c860 "s390: fix save and restore of the floating-point-control register" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.13+ Reviewed-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

This reverts commit 852ffd0f. There are use cases where an intermediate boot kernel (1) uses kexec to boot the final production kernel (2). For this scenario we should provide the original boot information to the production kernel (2). Therefore clearing the boot information during kexec() should not be done.

If CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND is disabled every time arc_unwind_core() gets called following message gets printed in debug console: ----------------->8--------------- CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND needs to be enabled ----------------->8--------------- That message makes sense if user indeed wants to see a backtrace or get nice function call-graphs in perf but what if user disabled unwinder for the purpose? Why pollute his debug console? So instead we'll warn user about possibly missing feature once and let him decide if that was what he or she really wanted.

With recent binutils update to support dwarf CFI pseudo-ops in gas, we now get .eh_frame vs. .debug_frame. Although the call frame info is exactly the same in both, the CIE differs, which the current kernel unwinder can't cope with. This broke both the kernel unwinder as well as loadable modules (latter because of a new unhandled relo R_ARC_32_PCREL from .rela.eh_frame in the module loader) The ideal solution would be to switch unwinder to .eh_frame. For now however we can make do by just ensureing .debug_frame is generated by removing -fasynchronous-unwind-tables .eh_frame generated with -gdwarf-2 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables .debug_frame generated with -gdwarf-2 Fixes STAR 9001058196 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

The host timer which emulates the guest LAPIC TSC deadline timer has its expiration diminished by lapic_timer_advance_ns nanoseconds. Therefore if, at wait_lapic_expire, a difference larger than lapic_timer_advance_ns is encountered, delay at most lapic_timer_advance_ns. This fixes a problem where the guest can cause the host to delay for large amounts of time.

Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making it uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again (making it even) when it is done. Thus the guest can make sure the time values it got are consistent by checking the version before and after reading them. Add CPU barries after getting version value just like what function vread_pvclock does, because all of callees in this function is inline.

PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but it is only used in pte_alloc_one, pte_alloc_one_kernel which does order-0 request.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but none of the allocation which uses this flag is for more than order-0. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window hopefully. Motivation: While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of __GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another. I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is documented as * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt * _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation. while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop for ever. This is not implemented right now though. I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic for it. $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l 111 $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l 36 So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later after all the simple ones are sorted out. I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from arch maintainers. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org This patch (of 19): __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0 allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail). Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

The INIT_TASK() initializer was similarly confused about the stack vs thread_info allocation that the allocators had, and that were fixed in commit b235beea ("Clarify naming of thread info/stack allocators"). The task ->stack pointer only incidentally ends up having the same value as the thread_info, and in fact that will change. So fix the initial task struct initializer to point to 'init_stack' instead of 'init_thread_info', and make sure the ia64 definition for that exists. This actually makes the ia64 tsk->stack pointer be sensible for the initial task, but not for any other task. As mentioned in commit b235beea, that whole pointer isn't actually used on ia64, since task_stack_page() there just points to the (single) allocation. All the other architectures seem to have copied the 'init_stack' definition, even if it tended to be generally unusued. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

As the actual pointer value is the same for the thread stack allocation and the thread_info, code that confused the two worked fine, but will break when the thread info is moved away from the stack allocation. It also looks very confusing. For example, the kprobe code wanted to know the current top of stack. To do that, it used this: (unsigned long)current_thread_info() + THREAD_SIZE which did indeed give the correct value. But it's not only a fairly nonsensical expression, it's also rather complex, especially since we actually have this: static inline unsigned long current_top_of_stack(void) which not only gives us the value we are interested in, but happens to be how "current_thread_info()" is currently defined as: (struct thread_info *)(current_top_of_stack() - THREAD_SIZE); so using current_thread_info() to figure out the top of the stack really is a very round-about thing to do. The other cases are just simpler confusion about task_thread_info() vs task_stack_page(), which currently return the same pointer - but if you want the stack page, you really should be using the latter one. And there was one entirely unused assignment of the current stack to a thread_info pointer. All cleaned up to make more sense today, and make it easier to move the thread_info away from the stack in the future. No semantic changes.

We've had the thread info allocated together with the thread stack for most architectures for a long time (since the thread_info was split off from the task struct), but that is about to change. But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and freeing functions are. Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical. That identity then meant that we would have things like ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node); ... tsk->stack = ti; which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code just gets to be entirely bogus. So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be about the stack. The fact that the thread_info then shares the allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the allocation itself. This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's just that we clarify what the pointer means. The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd, but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity doesn't matter. It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and type change.

When page tables entries are set using xen_set_pte_init() during early boot there is no page fault handler that could handle a fault when performing an M2P lookup. In 64 bit guests (usually dom0) early_ioremap() would fault in xen_set_pte_init() because an M2P lookup faults because the MFN is in MMIO space and not mapped in the M2P. This lookup is done to see if the PFN in in the range used for the initial page table pages, so that the PTE may be set as read-only. The M2P lookup can be avoided by moving the check (and clear of RW) earlier when the PFN is still available.

As part of the Radix MMU support we added some feature sections in the SLB miss handler. These are intended to catch the case that we incorrectly take an SLB miss when Radix is enabled, and instead of crashing weirdly they bail out to a well defined exit path and trigger an oops. However the way they were written meant the bailout case was enabled by default until we did CPU feature patching. On powermacs the early debug prints in setup_system() can cause an SLB miss, which happens before code patching, and so the SLB miss handler would incorrectly bailout and crash during boot. Fix it by inverting the sense of the feature section, so that the code which is in place at boot is correct for the hash case. Once we determine we are using Radix - which will never happen on a powermac - only then do we patch in the bailout case which unconditionally jumps.

kernel/smp.c has a fancy counter that keeps track of the number of CPUs it marked as not-present and left in cpu_park_loop(). If there are any CPUs spinning in here, features like kexec or hibernate may release them by overwriting this memory. This problem also occurs on machines using spin-tables to release secondary cores. After commit 44dbcc93 ("arm64: Fix behavior of maxcpus=N") we bring all known cpus into the secondary holding pen, meaning this memory can't be re-used by kexec or hibernate. Add a function cpus_are_stuck_in_kernel() to determine if either of these cases have occurred.

__sync_icache_dcache unconditionally skips the cache maintenance for anonymous pages, under the assumption that flushing is only required in the presence of D-side aliases [see 7249b79f ("arm64: Do not flush the D-cache for anonymous pages")]. Unfortunately, this breaks migration of anonymous pages holding self-modifying code, where userspace cannot be reasonably expected to reissue maintenance instructions in response to a migration. This patch fixes the problem by removing the broken page_mapping(page) check from the cache syncing code, otherwise we may end up fetching and executing stale instructions from the PoU.

During a rollover, we mark the active ASID on each CPU as reserved, before allocating a new ID for the task that caused the rollover. This means that with N CPUs, we can only guarantee the new task to obtain a valid ASID if we have at least N+1 ASIDs. Update this limit in the initcall check. Note that this restriction was introduced by commit 8e648066 on the arch/arm side, which disallow re-using the previously active ASID on the local CPU, as it would introduce a TLB race. In addition, we only dispose of NUM_USER_ASIDS-1, since ASID 0 is reserved. Add this restriction as well.

This patch fixes a non-booting issue in Mainline. When booting with a compressed kernel, we need to be careful how we populate memory close to DDR start. AUTO_ZRELADDR is enabled by default in multi-arch enabled configurations, which place some restrictions on where the kernel is placed and where it will be uncompressed to on boot. AUTO_ZRELADDR takes the decompressor code's start address and masks out the bottom 28 bits to obtain an address to uncompress the kernel to (thus a load address of 0x42000000 means that the kernel will be uncompressed to 0x40000000 i.e. DDR START on this platform). Even changing the load address to after the co-processor's shared memory won't render a booting platform, since the AUTO_ZRELADDR algorithm still ensures the kernel is uncompressed into memory shared with the first co-processor (0x40000000). Another option would be to move loading to 0x4A000000, since this will mean the decompressor will decompress the kernel to 0x48000000. However, this would mean a large chunk (0x44000000 => 0x48000000 (64MB)) of memory would essentially be wasted for no good reason. Until we can work with ST to find a suitable memory location to relocate co-processor shared memory, let's disable the shared memory nodes. This will ensure a working platform in the mean time. NB: The more observant of you will notice that we're leaving the DMU shared memory node enabled; this is because a) it is the only one in active use at the time of this writing and b) it is not affected by the current default behaviour which is causing issues.
