I was recently shown that vmxnet3 devices on transmit, will drop very small udp frames consistently. This is due to a regression introduced by commit 39d4a96f. This commit attempts to introduce an optimization to the tx path, indicating that the underlying hardware behaves optimally when at least 54 bytes of header data are available for direct access. This causes problems however, if the entire frame is less than 54 bytes long. The subsequent pskb_may_pull in vmxnet3_parse_and_copy_hdr fails, causing an error return code, which leads to vmxnet3_tq_xmit dropping the frame. Fix it by placing a cap on the copy length. For frames longer than 54 bytes, we do the pull as we normally would. If the frame is shorter than that, copy the whole frame, but no more. This ensures that we still get the optimization for qualifying frames, but don't do any damange for frames that are too short. Also, since I'm unable to do this, it wuold be great if vmware could follow up this patch with some additional code commentary as to why 54 bytes is an optimal pull length for a virtual NIC driver. The comment that introduced this was vague on that. Thanks!

This driver attempts to use two TX rings but lacks proper support : 1) IRQ handler only takes care of TX completion on first TX ring 2) the stop/start logic uses the legacy functions (for non multiqueue drivers) This means all packets witk skb mark set to 1 are sent through high queue but are never cleaned and queue eventualy fills and block the device, triggering the infamous "NETDEV WATCHDOG" message. Lets use a single TX ring to fix the problem, this driver is not a real multiqueue one yet. Minimal fix for stable kernels.

After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870e ("i387: do not preload FPU state at task switch time"). However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements preloading with several fixes, most notably - properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as open-coded save and restore with various hacks. In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for no good reason. - Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the way they save and restore segment state differently due to architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state. - Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines, and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit. That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use 'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the state saving also trashes the state. In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving, rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to follow as a result.

This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own (called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu. This fixes two independent bugs at the same time: - changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was supposed to indicate). So perfectly valid code could (and did) do ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK; and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store. In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low fat and preemption-safe. - On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd thread_info copy aliases. This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel away the FPU state. (It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers). It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is found there too. Thanks to Arjan Van De Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for pointing us to the %esp issue.

The AMD K7/K8 CPUs don't save/restore FDP/FIP/FOP unless an exception is pending. In order to not leak FIP state from one process to another, we need to do a floating point load after the fxsave of the old process, and before the fxrstor of the new FPU state. That resets the state to the (uninteresting) kernel load, rather than some potentially sensitive user information. We used to do this directly after the FPU state save, but that is actually very inconvenient, since it (a) corrupts what is potentially perfectly good FPU state that we might want to lazy avoid restoring later and (b) on x86-64 it resulted in a very annoying ordering constraint, where "__unlazy_fpu()" in the task switch needs to be delayed until after the DS segment has been reloaded just to get the new DS value. Coupling it to the fxrstor instead of the fxsave automatically avoids both of these issues, and also ensures that we only do it when actually necessary (the FP state after a save may never actually get used). It's simply a much more natural place for the leaked state cleanup. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Yes, taking the trap to re-load the FPU/MMX state is expensive, but so is spending several days looking for a bug in the state save/restore code. And the preload code has some rather subtle interactions with both paravirtualization support and segment state restore, so it's not nearly as simple as it should be. Also, now that we no longer necessarily depend on a single bit (ie TS_USEDFPU) for keeping track of the state of the FPU, we migth be able to do better. If we are really switching between two processes that keep touching the FP state, save/restore is inevitable, but in the case of having one process that does most of the FPU usage, we may actually be able to do much better than the preloading. In particular, we may be able to keep track of which CPU the process ran on last, and also per CPU keep track of which process' FP state that CPU has. For modern CPU's that don't destroy the FPU contents on save time, that would allow us to do a lazy restore by just re-enabling the existing FPU state - with no restore cost at all!

statfs() calls on eCryptfs files returned the wrong filesystem type and, when using filename encryption, the wrong maximum filename length. If mount-wide filename encryption is enabled, the cipher block size and the lower filesystem's max filename length will determine the max eCryptfs filename length. Pre-tested, known good lengths are used when the lower filesystem's namelen is 255 and a cipher with 8 or 16 byte block sizes is used. In other, less common cases, we fall back to a safe rounded-down estimate when determining the eCryptfs namelen. https://launchpad.net/bugs/885744Signed-off-by: NTyler Hicks <tyhicks@canonical.com> Reported-by: NKees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: NKees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: NJohn Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com>

This creates three helper functions that do the TS_USEDFPU accesses, and makes everybody that used to do it by hand use those helpers instead. In addition, there's a couple of helper functions for the "change both CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU at the same time" case, and the places that do that together have been changed to use those. That means that we have fewer random places that open-code this situation. The intent is partly to clarify the code without actually changing any semantics yet (since we clearly still have some hard to reproduce bug in this area), but also to make it much easier to use another approach entirely to caching the CR0.TS bit for software accesses. Right now we use a bit in the thread-info 'status' variable (this patch does not change that), but we might want to make it a full field of its own or even make it a per-cpu variable.

Commit 5b1cbac3 ("i387: make irq_fpu_usable() tests more robust") added a sanity check to the #NM handler to verify that we never cause the "Device Not Available" exception in kernel mode. However, that check actually pinpointed a (fundamental) race where we do cause that exception as part of the signal stack FPU state save/restore code. Because we use the floating point instructions themselves to save and restore state directly from user mode, we cannot do that atomically with testing the TS_USEDFPU bit: the user mode access itself may cause a page fault, which causes a task switch, which saves and restores the FP/MMX state from the kernel buffers. This kind of "recursive" FP state save is fine per se, but it means that when the signal stack save/restore gets restarted, it will now take the '#NM' exception we originally tried to avoid. With preemption this can happen even without the page fault - but because of the user access, we cannot just disable preemption around the save/restore instruction. There are various ways to solve this, including using the "enable/disable_page_fault()" helpers to not allow page faults at all during the sequence, and fall back to copying things by hand without the use of the native FP state save/restore instructions. However, the simplest thing to do is to just allow the #NM from kernel space, but fix the race in setting and clearing CR0.TS that this all exposed: the TS bit changes and the TS_USEDFPU bit absolutely have to be atomic wrt scheduling, so while the actual state save/restore can be interrupted and restarted, the act of actually clearing/setting CR0.TS and the TS_USEDFPU bit together must not. Instead of just adding random "preempt_disable/enable()" calls to what is already excessively ugly code, this introduces some helper functions that mostly mirror the "kernel_fpu_begin/end()" functionality, just for the user state instead. Those helper functions should probably eventually replace the other ad-hoc CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU tests too, but I'll need to think about it some more: the task switching functionality in particular needs to expose the difference between the 'prev' and 'next' threads, while the new helper functions intentionally were written to only work with 'current'.

Program Check exceptions are the result of WARNs, BUGs, some type of breakpoints, kprobe, and other illegal instructions. We want interrupts (and thus preemption) to remain disabled while doing the initial stage of testing the reason and branching off to a debugger or kprobe, so we are still on the original CPU which makes debugging easier in various cases. This is how the code was intended, hence the local_irq_enable() right in the middle of program_check_exception(). However, the assembly exception prologue for that exception was incorrectly marked as enabling interrupts, which defeats that (and records a redundant enable with lockdep).

Upstream changes to the way PHB resources are registered broke the resource fixup for FSL boards. We can no longer rely on the resource pointer array for the PHB's pci_bus structure, so let's leave it alone and go straight for the PHB resources instead. This also makes the code generally more readable. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

A kernel oops/panic prints an instruction dump showing several instructions before and after the instruction which caused the oops/panic. The code intended that the faulting instruction be enclosed in angle brackets, however a bug caused the faulting instruction to be interpreted by printk() as the message log level. To fix this, the KERN_CONT log level is added before the actual text of the printed message. === Before the patch === [ 1081.587266] Instruction dump: [ 1081.590236] 7c000110 7c0000f8 5400077c 552907f6 7d290378 992b0003 4e800020 38000001 [ 1081.598034] 3d20c03a 9009a114 7c0004ac 39200000 [ 1081.602500] 4e800020 3803ffd0 2b800009 <4>[ 1081.587266] Instruction dump: <4>[ 1081.590236] 7c000110 7c0000f8 5400077c 552907f6 7d290378 992b0003 4e800020 38000001 <4>[ 1081.598034] 3d20c03a 9009a114 7c0004ac 39200000 <98090000>[ 1081.602500] 4e800020 3803ffd0 2b800009 === After the patch === [ 51.385216] Instruction dump: [ 51.388186] 7c000110 7c0000f8 5400077c 552907f6 7d290378 992b0003 4e800020 38000001 [ 51.395986] 3d20c03a 9009a114 7c0004ac 39200000 <98090000> 4e800020 3803ffd0 2b800009 <4>[ 51.385216] Instruction dump: <4>[ 51.388186] 7c000110 7c0000f8 5400077c 552907f6 7d290378 992b0003 4e800020 38000001 <4>[ 51.395986] 3d20c03a 9009a114 7c0004ac 39200000 <98090000> 4e800020 3803ffd0 2b800009 Signed-off-by: NIra W.

Use standard ror64() instead of hand-written. There is no standard ror64, so create it. The difference is shift value being "unsigned int" instead of uint64_t (for which there is no reason). gcc starts to emit native ROR instructions which it doesn't do for some reason currently. This should make the code faster. Patch survives in-tree crypto test and ping flood with hmac(sha512) on.

There a two different irq variables ks->irq and netdev->irq. Only ks->irq is set on probe, so disabling irq in ks_start_xmit fails. This patches remove ks->irq from private data and use only netdev->irq. Tested on a kernel 3.0 based OMAP4430 SMP Board Signed-off-by: NJan Weitzel <j.weitzel@phytec.de> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
