由 Tomoki Sekiyama 提交于
In the current kernel, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not always cleared when a CPU is offlined. If the CPU that has the disabled irqs in vector_irq is hotplugged again, __setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector and may crash. This bug can be reproduced as following; # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts # vector_irq@cpu7 uncleared # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash To fix this problem, this patch clears vector_irq in __fixup_irqs() when the CPU is offlined. This also reverts commit f6175f5b, which partially fixes this bug by clearing vector in __clear_irq_vector(). But in environments with IOMMU IRQ remapper, it could fail because cfg->domain doesn't contain offlined CPUs. With this patch, the fix in __clear_irq_vector() can be reverted because every vector_irq is already cleared in __fixup_irqs() on offlined CPUs.

If a seccomp filter program is installed, older static binaries and distributions with older libc implementations (glibc 2.13 and earlier) that rely on vsyscall use will be terminated regardless of the filter program policy when executing time, gettimeofday, or getcpu. This is only the case when vsyscall emulation is in use (vsyscall=emulate is the default). This patch emulates system call entry inside a vsyscall=emulate by populating regs->ax and regs->orig_ax with the system call number prior to calling into seccomp such that all seccomp-dependencies function normally. Additionally, system call return behavior is emulated in line with other vsyscall entrypoints for the trace/trap cases.

With the variable operated on being of "unsigned long" type, neither ffs() nor fls() are suitable to use on them, as those truncate their arguments to 32 bits. Using __ffs() and __fls() respectively at once eliminates the need to subtract 1 from their results. Additionally, with the alignment value subsequently used as a shift count, it must be enforced to be less than BITS_PER_LONG (and on 64-bit there's no need for it to be any smaller).

x86/apic/x2apic: Use multiple cluster members for the irq destination only with the explicit affinity During boot or driver load etc, interrupt destination is setup using default target cpu's. Later the user (irqbalance etc) or the driver (irq_set_affinity/ irq_set_affinity_hint) can request the interrupt to be migrated to some specific set of cpu's. In the x2apic cluster routing, for the default scenario use single cpu as the interrupt destination and when there is an explicit interrupt affinity request, route the interrupt to multiple members of a x2apic cluster specified in the cpumask of the migration request. This will minmize the vector pressure when there are lot of interrupt sources and relatively few x2apic clusters (for example a single socket server). This will allow the performance critical interrupts to be routed to multiple cpu's in the x2apic cluster (irqbalance for example uses the cache siblings etc while specifying the interrupt destination) and allow non-critical interrupts to be serviced by a single logical cpu.

For the x2apic cluster mode, vector for an interrupt is currently reserved on all the cpu's that are part of the x2apic cluster. But the interrupts will be routed only to the cluster (derived from the first cpu in the mask) members specified in the mask. So there is no need to reserve the vector in the unused cluster members. Modify __assign_irq_vector() to reserve the vectors based on the user specified irq destination mask. If the new mask is a proper subset of the currently used mask, cleanup the vector allocation on the unused cpu members. Also, allow the apic driver to tune the vector domain based on the affinity mask (which in most cases is the user-specified mask).

由 Suresh Siddha 提交于
Currently __assign_irq_vector() goes through each cpu in the specified mask until it finds a free vector in all the cpu's that are part of the same interrupt domain. We visit all the interrupt domain sibling cpus to reserve the free vector. So, when we fail to find a free vector in an interrupt domain, it is safe to continue our search with a cpu belonging to a new interrupt domain. No need to go through each cpu, if the domain containing that cpu is already visited. Use the irq_cfg's old_domain to track the visited domains and optimize the cpu traversal while finding a free vector in the given cpumask. NOTE: We can also optimize the search by using for_each_cpu() and skip the current cpu, if it is not the first cpu in the mask returned by the vector_allocation_domain(). But re-using the cfg->old_domain to track the visited domains will be slightly faster.

Microcode reloading in a per-core manner is a very bad idea for both major x86 vendors. And the thing is, we have such interface with which we can end up with different microcode versions applied on different cores of an otherwise homogeneous wrt (family,model,stepping) system. So turn off the possibility of doing that per core and allow it only system-wide. This is a minimal fix which we'd like to see in stable too thus the more-or-less arbitrary decision to allow system-wide reloading only on the BSP: $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/microcode/reload ... and disable the interface on the other cores: $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu23/microcode/reload -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Also, allowing the reload only from one CPU (the BSP in that case) doesn't allow the reload procedure to degenerate into an O(n^2) deal when triggering reloads from all /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/microcode/reload sysfs nodes simultaneously. A more generic fix will follow.

This conflict went into mainline via the hwmon tree without any x86 maintainer ack, and without any kind of hint in the subject. a4659053 x86/hwmon: fix initialization of coretemp Reported-by: NJean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4FE34BCB.5050305@linux.intel.com Cc: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@suse.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> v2.6.36..v3.4 Signed-off-by: NH.

On SGI's UV2 the BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) driver can hang under a heavy load. To cure this: - Disable the UV2 extended status mode (see UV2_EXT_SHFT), as this mode changes BAU behavior in more ways then just delivering an extra bit of status. Revert status to just two meaningful bits, like UV1. - Use no IPI-style resets on UV2. Just give up the request for whatever the reason it failed and let it be accomplished with the legacy IPI method. - Use no alternate sending descriptor (the former UV2 workaround bcp->using_desc and handle_uv2_busy() stuff). Just disable the use of the BAU for a period of time in favor of the legacy IPI method when the h/w bug leaves a descriptor busy. -- new tunable: giveup_limit determines the threshold at which a hub is so plugged that it should do all requests with the legacy IPI method for a period of time -- generalize disable_for_congestion() (renamed disable_for_period()) for use whenever a hub should avoid using the BAU for a period of time Also: - Fix find_another_by_swack(), which is part of the UV2 bug workaround - Correct and clarify the statistics (new stats s_overipilimit, s_giveuplimit, s_enters, s_ipifordisabled, s_plugged, s_congested) Signed-off-by: NCliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120622131459.GC31884@sgi.comSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

This patch enables the BAU to be turned on or off dynamically. echo "on" > /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics echo "off" > /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics The system may be booted with or without the nobau option. Whether the system currently has the BAU off can be seen in the /proc file -- normally with the baustats script. Each cpu will have a 1 in the bauoff field if the BAU was turned off, so baustats will give a count of cpus that have it off.

Correct the calculation of a destination timeout period, which is used to distinguish between a destination timeout and the situation where all the target software ack resources are full and a request is returned immediately. The problem is that integer arithmetic was overflowing, yielding a very large result. Without this fix destination timeouts are identified as resource 'plugged' events and an ipi method of resource releasing is unnecessarily employed.

On x86-64, the standard ABI requires alignment to 16 bytes. However, this is not actually necessary in the kernel (we don't do SSE except in very controlled ways); and furthermore, the standard kernel entry on x86-64 actually leaves the stack on an odd 8-byte boundary, which means that gcc will generate extra instructions to keep the stack *mis*aligned! gcc 4.8 adds an -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 option to override this and lets us save some stack space and a handful of instructions. Note that this causes us to pass -mno-sse twice; this is redundant, but necessary since the cc-option test will fail unless -mno-sse is passed on the same command line.

Be a bit more paranoid in the transition back to 16-bit mode. In particular, in case the kernel is residing above the 4 GiB mark, switch to the trampoline GDT, and make the jump after turning off paging a far jump. In theory, none of this should matter, but it is exactly the kind of things that broken SMM or virtualization software could trip up on. Signed-off-by: NH.

We write reboot_mode to BIOS location 0x472 in native_machine_emergency_restart() (reboot.c:542) already, there is no need to then write it again in machine_real_restart(). This means nothing gets written there for MRR_APM, but the APM call is a poweroff call and doesn't use this memory location.

In the x86 32bit PAE CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y case while holding the mmap_sem for reading, cmpxchg8b cannot be used to read pmd contents under Xen. So instead of dealing only with "consistent" pmdvals in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() (which would be conceptually simpler) we let pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() deal with pmdvals where the low 32bit and high 32bit could be inconsistent (to avoid having to use cmpxchg8b). The only guarantee we get from pmd_read_atomic is that if the low part of the pmd was found null, the high part will be null too (so the pmd will be considered unstable). And if the low part of the pmd is found "stable" later, then it means the whole pmd was read atomically (because after a pmd is stable, neither MADV_DONTNEED nor page faults can alter it anymore, and we read the high part after the low part). In the 32bit PAE x86 case, it is enough to read the low part of the pmdval atomically to declare the pmd as "stable" and that's true for THP and no THP, furthermore in the THP case we also have a barrier() that will prevent any inconsistent pmdvals to be cached by a later re-read of the *pmd.
