parisc: Use unshadowed index register for flush instructions in flush_dcache_page_asm and flush_icache_page_asm The comment at the start of pacache.S states that the base and index registers used for fdc,fic, and pdc instructions should not use shadowed registers. Although this is probably unnecessary for tmpalias flushes, there is also no reason not to comply.

Make sure that we really return -1 (instead of 0x00ff) as node id for page frame numbers which are not physically available. This finally fixes the kernel panic when running cat /proc/kpageflags /proc/kpagecount. Theoretically this patch now limits the number of physical memory ranges to 127 instead of 254, but currently we have MAX_PHYSMEM_RANGES hardcoded to 8 which is sufficient for all existing parisc machines.

'path.bc[i]' can be asigned by PCI_SLOT() which can '> 10', so sizeof(6 * "%u:" + "%u" + '\0') may be 21. Since 'name' length is 20, it may be memory overflow. And 'path.bc[i]' is 'unsigned char' for printing, we can be sure the max length of 'name' must be less than 28. So simplify thinking, we can use 28 instead of 20 directly, and do not think of whether 'patchc.bc[i]' can '> 100'.

The logic to detect if the irq stack was already in use with raw_spin_trylock() is wrong, because it will generate a "trylock failure on UP" error message with CONFIG_SMP=n and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y. arch_spin_trylock() can't be used either since in the CONFIG_SMP=n case no atomic protection is given and we are reentrant here. A mutex didn't worked either and brings more overhead by turning off interrupts. So, let's use the fastest path for parisc which is the ldcw instruction. Counting how often the irq stack was used is pretty useless, so just drop this piece of code. Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

The get_stack_use_cr30 and get_stack_use_r30 macros allocate a stack frame for external interrupts and interruptions requiring a stack frame. They are currently not reentrant in that they save register context before the stack is set or adjusted. I have observed a number of system crashes where there was clear evidence of stack corruption during interrupt processing, and as a result register corruption. Some interruptions can still occur during interruption processing, however external interrupts are disabled and data TLB misses don't occur for absolute accesses. So, it's not entirely clear what triggers this issue. Also, if an interruption occurs when Q=0, it is generally not possible to recover as the shadowed registers are not copied. The attached patch reworks the get_stack_use_cr30 and get_stack_use_r30 macros to allocate stack before doing register saves. The new code is a couple of instructions shorter than the old implementation. Thus, it's an improvement even if it doesn't fully resolve the stack corruption issue. Based on limited testing, it improves SMP system stability. Signed-off-by: NJohn David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

Currently, race conditions exist in the handling of TLB interruptions in entry.S. In particular, dirty bit updates can be lost if an accessed interruption occurs just after the dirty bit interruption on a different cpu. Lost dirty bit updates result in user pages not being flushed and general system instability. This change adds lock and unlock macros to synchronize all PTE and TLB updates done in entry.S. As a result, userspace stability is significantly improved. Signed-off-by: NJohn David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

This patch fixes few build issues which were introduced with the last irq stack patch, e.g. the combination of stack overflow check and irq stack. Furthermore we now do proper locking and change the irq bh handler to use the irq stack as well. In /proc/interrupts one now can monitor how huge the irq stack has grown and how often it was preferred over the kernel stack. IRQ stacks are now enabled by default just to make sure that we not overflow the kernel stack by accident. Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

Add the CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW config option to enable checks to detect kernel stack overflows. Stack overflows can not be detected reliable since we do not want to introduce too much overhead. Instead, during irq processing in do_cpu_irq_mask() we check kernel stack usage of the interrupted kernel process. Kernel threads can be easily detected by checking the value of space register 7 (sr7) which is zero when running inside the kernel. Since THREAD_SIZE is 16k and PAGE_SIZE is 4k, reduce the alignment of the init thread to the lower value (PAGE_SIZE) in the kernel vmlinux.ld.S linker script.

parisc: only re-enable interrupts if we need to schedule or deliver signals when returning to userspace Helge and I have found that we have a kernel stack overflow problem which causes a variety of random failures. Currently, we re-enable interrupts when returning from an external interrupt incase we need to schedule or delivery signals. As a result, a potentially unlimited number of interrupts can occur while we are running on the kernel stack. It is very limited in space (currently, 16k). This change defers enabling interrupts until we have actually decided to schedule or delivery signals. This only occurs when we about to return to userspace. This limits the number of interrupts on the kernel stack to one. In other cases, interrupts remain disabled until the final return from interrupt (rfi).

This patch fixes partly PAGE_SIZEs of 16K or 64K by adjusting the assembler PTE lookup code and the assembler TEMPALIAS code. Furthermore some data alignments for PAGE_SIZE have been limited to 4K (or less) to not waste too much memory with greater page sizes. As a side note, the palo loader can (currently) only handle up to 10 ELF segments which is fixed with tighter aligning as well. My testings indicated that the ldci command in the sba iommu coding needed adjustment by the PAGE_SHIFT value and that the I/O PDIR Page size was only set to 4K for my machine (C3000). All this fixes partly the boot, but there are still quite some caching problems left. Examples are e.g. the symbios logic driver which is failing: sym0: <896> rev 0x7 at pci 0000:00:0f.0 irq 69 sym0: PA-RISC Firmware, ID 7, Fast-40, SE, parity checking CACHE TEST FAILED: DMA error (dstat=0x81).sym0: CACHE INCORRECTLY CONFIGURED. and the tulip network driver which doesn't seem to work correctly either: Sending BOOTP requests .net eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#1 link partner capability of 05e1 ..... timed out!

The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc. To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this config. Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls. While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same information and it's much easier to modify what's printed. show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack() does plus task and thread_info pointers. * Archs which didn't print debug info now do. alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r, metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc, um, xtensa * Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info(). The printed information is superset of what used to be there. arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86 * s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation. Converted to use the generic version.

Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the backtrace while the two are identical on other archs. The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong, so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which triggered dump_stack(). There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information. This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand. Debug information can be printed separately by calling dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack() implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used in blackfin. This patch brings the following behavior changes. * On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be printed. This is because the top frame was determined in dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not sure whether that'd be necessary. * Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do now. An example WARN dump follows.

This loses %ksp from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation. dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file, dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack() - at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info() as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1 The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue.

On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page types may take a half second or even more. In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI watchdog timeouts. To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the page allocation failure warning.

Don't use create_proc_read_entry() as that is deprecated, but rather use proc_create_data() and seq_file instead. Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> cc: "James E.J.

User applications running on SMP kernels have long suffered from instability and random segmentation faults. This patch improves the situation although there is more work to be done. One of the problems is the various routines in pgtable.h that update page table entries use different locking mechanisms, or no lock at all (set_pte_at). This change modifies the routines to all use the same lock pa_dbit_lock. This lock is used for dirty bit updates in the interruption code. The patch also purges the TLB entries associated with the PTE to ensure that inconsistent values are not used after the page table entry is updated. The UP and SMP code are now identical. The change also includes a minor update to the purge_tlb_entries function in cache.c to improve its efficiency.

CONFIG_MLONGCALLS was introduced in commit ec758f98 to overcome linker issues when linking huge linux kernels, e.g. with many modules linked in. But in the kernel module loader there is no support yet for the new relocation types, which is why modules built with -mlong-calls can't be loaded. Furthermore, for modules long calls are not really necessary, since we already use stub sections which resolve long distance calls. So, let's just disable this compiler option when compiling kernel modules. Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
