This change enables SIGSYS, defines _sigfields._sigsys, and adds x86 (compat) arch support. _sigsys defines fields which allow a signal handler to receive the triggering system call number, the relevant AUDIT_ARCH_* value for that number, and the address of the callsite. SIGSYS is added to the SYNCHRONOUS_MASK because it is desirable for it to have setup_frame() called for it. The goal is to ensure that ucontext_t reflects the machine state from the time-of-syscall and not from another signal handler. The first consumer of SIGSYS would be seccomp filter. In particular, a filter program could specify a new return value, SECCOMP_RET_TRAP, which would result in the system call being denied and the calling thread signaled. This also means that implementing arch-specific support can be dependent upon HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER. Suggested-by: NH.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses them. This is preparation for that. This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's architecture-specific for two reasons: - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast bit count instruction, for example. - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using this. (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the right thing to do, of course) Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the 32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially it turned off the use of HLT. This workaround was commented in the code as: "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations" "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA wreckage. It should be safe to remove." H. Peter Anvin additionally adds: "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind, including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT caused some of these systems to fail. They were by far in the minority even back then." Alan Cox further says: "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during DMA tended to go astray. Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520 fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of use." So, let's finally drop this.

Both functions are mostly identical. The differences are: - x86_32's cpu_idle() makes use of check_pgt_cache(), which is a nop on both x86_32 and x86_64. - x86_64's cpu_idle() uses enter/__exit_idle/(), on x86_32 these function are a nop. - In contrast to x86_32, x86_64 calls rcu_idle_enter/exit() in the innermost loop because idle notifications need RCU. Calling these function on x86_32 also in the innermost loop does not hurt. So we can merge both functions.

As suggested by Suresh Siddha and Yinghai Lu: For x2apic pre-enabled systems, apic driver is set already early through early_acpi_boot_init()/early_acpi_process_madt()/ acpi_parse_madt()/default_acpi_madt_oem_check() path so that apic_id_valid() checking will be sufficient during MADT and SRAT parsing. For non-x2apic pre-enabled systems, all apic ids should be less than 255. This allows us to substitute the checks in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c::acpi_parse_x2apic() and arch/x86/mm/srat.c::acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init() with apic->apic_id_valid(). In addition we can avoid feigning the x2apic cpu feature in the NumaChip apic code.

Adding struct _sigchld_x32 caused a misalignment cascade in struct siginfo, because union _sifields is located on an 4-byte boundary (8-byte misaligned.) Adding new fields that are 8-byte aligned caused the intermediate structures to also be aligned to 8 bytes, thereby adding padding in unexpected places. Thus, change s64 to compat_s64 here, which makes it "misaligned on paper". In reality these fields *are* actually aligned (there are 3 preceeding ints outside the union and 3 inside struct _sigchld_x32), but because of the intervening union and struct it is not possible for gcc to avoid padding without breaking the ABI.

When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset. However, when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be carried over from the previous kernel. The computation of cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec. The overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is enough room to store the final answer. We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing the multiplication separately on the two components. Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous fix in __cycles_2_ns().

For the hypervisor to take advantage of the MWAIT support it needs to extract from the ACPI _CST the register address. But the hypervisor does not have the support to parse DSDT so it relies on the initial domain (dom0) to parse the ACPI Power Management information and push it up to the hypervisor. The pushing of the data is done by the processor_harveset_xen module which parses the information that the ACPI parser has graciously exposed in 'struct acpi_processor'. For the ACPI parser to also expose the Cx states for MWAIT, we need to expose the MWAIT capability (leaf 1). Furthermore we also need to expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability (leaf 5) for cstate.c to properly function. The hypervisor could expose these flags when it traps the XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX operations, but it can't do it since it needs to be backwards compatible. Instead we choose to use the native CPUID to figure out if the MWAIT capability exists and use the XEN_SET_PDC query hypercall to figure out if the hypervisor wants us to expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability or not. Note: The XEN_SET_PDC query was implemented in c/s 23783: "ACPI: add _PDC input override mechanism". With this in place, instead of C3 ACPI IOPORT 415 we get now C3:ACPI FFH INTEL MWAIT 0x20 Note: The cpu_idle which would be calling the mwait variants for idling never gets set b/c we set the default pm_idle to be the hypercall variant.

During a host suspend, TSC may go backwards, which KVM interprets as an unstable TSC. Technically, KVM should not be marking the TSC unstable, which causes the TSC clocksource to go bad, but we need to be adjusting the TSC offsets in such a case. Dealing with this issue is a little tricky as the only place we can reliably do it is before much of the timekeeping infrastructure is up and running. On top of this, we are not in a KVM thread context, so we may not be able to safely access VCPU fields. Instead, we compute our best known hardware offset at power-up and stash it to be applied to all VCPUs when they actually start running.

The variable last_host_tsc was removed from upstream code. I am adding it back for two reasons. First, it is unnecessary to use guest TSC computation to conclude information about the host TSC. The guest may set the TSC backwards (this case handled by the previous patch), but the computation of guest TSC (and fetching an MSR) is significanlty more work and complexity than simply reading the hardware counter. In addition, we don't actually need the guest TSC for any part of the computation, by always recomputing the offset, we can eliminate the need to deal with the current offset and any scaling factors that may apply. The second reason is that later on, we are going to be using the host TSC value to restore TSC offsets after a host S4 suspend, so we need to be reading the host values, not the guest values here.

There are a few improvements that can be made to the TSC offset matching code. First, we don't need to call the 128-bit multiply (especially on a constant number), the code works much nicer to do computation in nanosecond units. Second, the way everything is setup with software TSC rate scaling, we currently have per-cpu rates. Obviously this isn't too desirable to use in practice, but if for some reason we do change the rate of all VCPUs at runtime, then reset the TSCs, we will only want to match offsets for VCPUs running at the same rate. Finally, for the case where we have an unstable host TSC, but rate scaling is being done in hardware, we should call the platform code to compute the TSC offset, so the math is reorganized to recompute the base instead, then transform the base into an offset using the existing API.

This requires some restructuring; rather than use 'virtual_tsc_khz' to indicate whether hardware rate scaling is in effect, we consider each VCPU to always have a virtual TSC rate. Instead, there is new logic above the vendor-specific hardware scaling that decides whether it is even necessary to use and updates all rate variables used by common code. This means we can simply query the virtual rate at any point, which is needed for software rate scaling. There is also now a threshold added to the TSC rate scaling; minor differences and variations of measured TSC rate can accidentally provoke rate scaling to be used when it is not needed. Instead, we have a tolerance variable called tsc_tolerance_ppm, which is the maximum variation from user requested rate at which scaling will be used. The default is 250ppm, which is the half the threshold for NTP adjustment, allowing for some hardware variation. In the event that hardware rate scaling is not available, we can kludge a bit by forcing TSC catchup to turn on when a faster than hardware speed has been requested, but there is nothing available yet for the reverse case; this requires a trap and emulate software implementation for RDTSC, which is still forthcoming.

clock_t is used mainly to give the number of jiffies a certain process has burned. It is entirely feasible for a long-running process to consume more than 2^32 jiffies especially in a multiprocess system. As such, switch to a 64-bit clock_t for x32, just as we already switched to a 64-bit time_t. clock_t is only used in a handful of places, and as such it is really not a very significant change. The one that has the biggest impact is in struct siginfo, but since the *size* of struct siginfo doesn't change (it is padded to the hilt) it is fairly easy to make this a localized change. This also gets rid of sys_x32_times, however since this is a pretty late change don't compactify the system call numbers; we can reuse system call slot 521 next time we need an x32 system call.

The is_compat_task() test is composed of two predicates already, so make each of them available separately. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: H. J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1329696488-16970-1-git-send-email-hpa@zytor.com

When kvm guest uses kvmclock, it may hang on vcpu hot-plug. This is caused by an overflow in pvclock_get_nsec_offset, u64 delta = tsc - shadow->tsc_timestamp; which in turn is caused by an undefined values from percpu hv_clock that hasn't been initialized yet. Uninitialized clock on being booted cpu is accessed from start_secondary -> smp_callin -> smp_store_cpu_info -> identify_secondary_cpu -> mtrr_ap_init -> mtrr_restore -> stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu -> queue_stop_cpus_work ... -> sched_clock -> kvm_clock_read which is well before x86_cpuinit.setup_percpu_clockev call in start_secondary, where percpu clock is initialized. This patch introduces a hook that allows to setup/initialize per_cpu clock early and avoid overflow due to reading - undefined values - old values if cpu was offlined and then onlined again Another possible early user of this clock source is ftrace that accesses it to get timestamps for ring buffer entries. So if mtrr_ap_init is moved from identify_secondary_cpu to past x86_cpuinit.setup_percpu_clockev in start_secondary, ftrace may cause the same overflow/hang on cpu hot-plug anyway.

On some cpus the overhead for virtualization instructions is in the same range as a system call. Having to call multiple ioctls to get set registers will make certain userspace handled exits more expensive than necessary. Lets provide a section in kvm_run that works as a shared save area for guest registers. We also provide two 64bit flags fields (architecture specific), that will specify 1. which parts of these fields are valid. 2. which registers were modified by userspace Each bit for these flag fields will define a group of registers (like general purpose) or a single register.
