      x86: Introduce disabled-features · 381aa07a
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      I believe the REQUIRED_MASK aproach was taken so that it was
      easier to consult in assembly (arch/x86/kernel/verify_cpu.S).
      DISABLED_MASK does not have the same restriction, but I
      implemented it the same way for consistency.
      
      We have a REQUIRED_MASK... which does two things:
      1. Keeps a list of cpuid bits to check in very early boot and
         refuse to boot if those are not present.
      2. Consulted during cpu_has() checks, which allows us to
         optimize out things at compile-time.  In other words, if we
         *KNOW* we will not boot with the feature off, then we can
         safely assume that it will be present forever.
      
      But, we don't have a similar mechanism for CPU features which
      may be present but that we know we will not use.  We simply
      use our existing mechanisms to repeatedly check the status of
      the bit at runtime (well, the alternatives patching helps here
      but it does not provide compile-time optimization).
      
      Adding a feature to disabled-features.h allows the bit to be
      checked via a new macro: cpu_feature_enabled().  Note that
      for features in DISABLED_MASK, checks with this macro have
      all of the benefits of an #ifdef.  Before, we would have done
      this in a header:
      
      #ifdef CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MPX
      #define cpu_has_mpx cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_MPX)
      #else
      #define cpu_has_mpx 0
      #endif
      
      and this in the code:
      
      	if (cpu_has_mpx)
      		do_some_mpx_thing();
      
      Now, just add your feature to DISABLED_MASK and you can do this
      everywhere, and get the same benefits you would have from
      #ifdefs:
      
      	if (cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_MPX))
      		do_some_mpx_thing();
      
      We need a new function and *not* a modification to cpu_has()
      because there are cases where we actually need to check the CPU
      itself, despite what features the kernel supports.  The best
      example of this is a hypervisor which has no control over what
      features its guests are using and where the guest does not depend
      on the host for support.

      x86: Axe the lightly-used cpu_has_pae · c8128cce
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      cpu_has_pae is only referenced in one place: the X86_32 kexec
      code (in a file not even built on 64-bit).  It hardly warrants
      its own macro, or the trouble we go to ensuring that it can't
      be called in X86_64 code.
      
      Axe the macro and replace it with a direct cpu feature check.

       "The fixes all address recently discovered data corruption issues.
      
        The original Direct IO issue was discovered by Chris Mason @ Facebook
        on a production workload which mixed buffered reads with direct reads
        and writes IO to the same file.  The fix for that exposed other issues
        with page invalidation (exposed by millions of fsx operations) failing
        due to dirty buffers beyond EOF.
      
        Finally, the collapse_range code could also cause problems due to
        racing writeback changing the extent map while it was being shifted
        around.  The commits for that problem are simple mitigation fixes that
        prevent the problem from occuring.  A more robust fix for 3.18 that
        addresses the underlying problem is currently being worked on by
        Brian.
      
        Summary of fixes:
         - a direct IO read/buffered read data corruption
         - the associated fallout from the DIO data corruption fix
         - collapse range bugs that are potential data corruption issues"
