      PCI: augment bus resource table with a list · 2fe2abf8
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      Previously we used a table of size PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES (16) for resources
      forwarded to a bus by its upstream bridge.  We've increased this size
      several times when the table overflowed.
      
      But there's no good limit on the number of resources because host bridges
      and subtractive decode bridges can forward any number of ranges to their
      secondary buses.
      
      This patch reduces the table to only PCI_BRIDGE_RESOURCE_NUM (4) entries,
      which corresponds to the number of windows a PCI-to-PCI (3) or CardBus (4)
      bridge can positively decode.  Any additional resources, e.g., PCI host
      bridge windows or subtractively-decoded regions, are kept in a list.
      
      I'd prefer a single list rather than this split table/list approach, but
      that requires simultaneous changes to every architecture.  This approach
      only requires immediate changes where we set up (a) host bridges with more
      than four windows and (b) subtractive-decode P2P bridges, and we can
      incrementally change other architectures to use the list.

      hw-breakpoint: Keep track of dr7 local enable bits · 326264a0
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      When the user enables breakpoints through dr7, he can choose
      between "local" or "global" enable bits but given how linux is
      implemented, both have the same effect.
      
      That said we don't keep track how the user enabled the breakpoints
      so when the user requests the dr7 value, we only translate the
      "enabled" status using the global enabled bits. It means that if
      the user enabled a breakpoint using the local enabled bit, reading
      back dr7 will set the global bit and clear the local one.
      
      Apps like Wine expect a full dr7 POKEUSER/PEEKUSER match for emulated
      softwares that implement old reverse engineering protection schemes.
      
      We fix that by keeping track of the whole dr7 value given by the user
      in the thread structure to drop this bug. We'll think about
      something more proper later.
      
      This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.

      hw-breakpoints: Accept breakpoints on NULL address · 84d71092
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Before we had a generic breakpoint API, ptrace was accepting
      breakpoints on NULL address in x86. The new API refuse them,
      without given strong reasons. We need to follow the previous
      behaviour as some userspace apps like Wine need such NULL
      breakpoints to ensure old emulated software protections
      are still working.
      
      This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.

      perf, hw_breakpoint, kgdb: Do not take mutex for kernel debugger · 5352ae63
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the
      kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw
      breakpoint reservations.
      
      The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it
      can start the kernel running from an invalid context.
      
      A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get
      created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint
      reservations.
      
      The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently
      processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is
      improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is
      warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the
      hardware breakpoint reservations.
      
      Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it
      will be a system wide reservation.

      x86, hw_breakpoints, kgdb: Fix kgdb to use hw_breakpoint API · cc096749
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      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.

      x86: get rid of the insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit · 05d43ed8
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality
      setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries.
      And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go
      away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing
      for a 32-bit compat process.
      
      Everything becomes much more straightforward this way.

      Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions · 221af7f8
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
      it is pretty badly misnamed.  It doesn't just flush the old executable
      environment, it also starts up the new one.
      
      Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
      personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
      of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
      personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.
      
      As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
      insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
      (TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
      personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
      the actual personality magic.
      
      This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
      'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
      (still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
      up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()).  All callers are changed
      to trivially comply with the new world order.
