      x86 isa: add back X86_32 dependency on CONFIG_ISA · 51e68d05
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Commit b3c1be1b ("base: isa: Remove X86_32 dependency") made ISA
      support available on x86-64 too.  That's not right - while there are
      some LPC-style devices that might be useful still and be based on
      ISA-like IP blocks, that is *not* an excuse to try to enable any random
      legacy drivers.
      
      Such drivers should be individually enabled and made to perhaps depend
      on ISA_DMA_API instead (which we have continued to support on x86-64).
      Or we could add another "ISA_XYZ_API" that we support that doesn't
      enable random old drivers that aren't even 64-bit clean nor do we have
      any test coverage for.
      
      Turning off ISA will now also turn off some drivers that have been
      marked as depending on it as part of this series, and that used to work
      on modern platforms.
      
      See for example commits ad7afc38..cc736607, which may also need
      to be reverted.
      
      This commit means that the warnings that came in due to enabling ISA
      widely are now gone again.

      printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI · 42a0bb3f
      Petr Mladek 提交于
      printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
      context.
      
      The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
      all CPUs.  This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
      commit a9edc880 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
      CPUs").
      
      The patchset brings two big advantages.  First, it makes the NMI
      backtraces safe on all architectures for free.  Second, it makes all NMI
      messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
      limited.  We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
      minimum).
      
      Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
      WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
      handlers.  These are not easy to avoid.
      
      This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic.  It is useful
      for all messages and architectures that support NMI.
      
      The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
      leaving NMI context.  It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
      main ring buffer in a safe context.
      
      __printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
      Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
      writers.  There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
      flushers.
      
      We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock.  It
      would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
      It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.
      
      The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
      Rostedt.  It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
      architectures that call nmi_enter().  This is achieved by the new
      HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.
      
      The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures.  We need to clean up NMI
      handling there first.  Let's do it separately.
      
      The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

      base: isa: Remove X86_32 dependency · b3c1be1b
      William Breathitt Gray 提交于
      Many motherboards utilize a LPC to ISA bridge in order to decode
      ISA-style port-mapped I/O addresses. This is particularly true for
      embedded motherboards supporting the PC/104 bus (a bus specification
      derived from ISA).
      
      These motherboards are now commonly running 64-bit x86 processors. The
      X86_32 dependency should be removed from the ISA bus configuration
      option in order to support these newer motherboards.
      
      A new config option, CONFIG_ISA_BUS, is introduced to allow for the
      compilation of the ISA bus driver independent of the CONFIG_ISA option.
      Devices which communicate via ISA-compatible buses can now be supported
      independent of the dependencies of the CONFIG_ISA option.

      kernel: add kcov code coverage · 5c9a8750
      Dmitry Vyukov 提交于
      kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
      (randomized testing).  Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
      that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
      system.  A notable user-space example is AFL
      (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).  However, this technique is not
      widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
      support.
      
      kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible.  It aims to
      collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
      To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
      interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
      non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g.  scheduler, locking).
      
      Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
      API anticipates additional collection modes.  Initially I also
      implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
      table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch).  I've
      dropped the second mode for simplicity.
      
      This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side.  The complimentary
      compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.
      
      We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
      found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
      
        https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
      
      We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
      Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
      help is more traditional "blob mutation".  For example, mounting a
      random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.
      
      Why not gcov.  Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
      coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat.  A
      typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g.  an invalid
      input).  In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
      reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
      blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M).  Cost of
      kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges.  On top of
      that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
      background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
      With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.
      
      kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
      insecure.  But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.
      
      Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

      perf/x86/amd/power: Add AMD accumulated power reporting mechanism · c7ab62bf
      Huang Rui 提交于
      Introduce an AMD accumlated power reporting mechanism for the Family
      15h, Model 60h processor that can be used to calculate the average
      power consumed by a processor during a measurement interval. The
      feature support is indicated by CPUID Fn8000_0007_EDX[12].
      
      This feature will be implemented both in hwmon and perf. The current
      design provides one event to report per package/processor power
      consumption by counting each compute unit power value.
      
      Here the gory details of how the computation is done:
      
      * Tsample: compute unit power accumulator sample period
      * Tref: the PTSC counter period (PTSC: performance timestamp counter)
      * N: the ratio of compute unit power accumulator sample period to the
        PTSC period
      
      * Jmax: max compute unit accumulated power which is indicated by
        MSR_C001007b[MaxCpuSwPwrAcc]
      
      * Jx/Jy: compute unit accumulated power which is indicated by
        MSR_C001007a[CpuSwPwrAcc]
      
      * Tx/Ty: the value of performance timestamp counter which is indicated
        by CU_PTSC MSR_C0010280[PTSC]
      * PwrCPUave: CPU average power
      
      i. Determine the ratio of Tsample to Tref by executing CPUID Fn8000_0007.
      	N = value of CPUID Fn8000_0007_ECX[CpuPwrSampleTimeRatio[15:0]].
      
      ii. Read the full range of the cumulative energy value from the new
          MSR MaxCpuSwPwrAcc.
      	Jmax = value returned.
      
      iii. At time x, software reads CpuSwPwrAcc and samples the PTSC.
      	Jx = value read from CpuSwPwrAcc and Tx = value read from PTSC.
      
      iv. At time y, software reads CpuSwPwrAcc and samples the PTSC.
      	Jy = value read from CpuSwPwrAcc and Ty = value read from PTSC.
      
      v. Calculate the average power consumption for a compute unit over
      time period (y-x). Unit of result is uWatt:
      
      	if (Jy < Jx) // Rollover has occurred
      		Jdelta = (Jy + Jmax) - Jx
      	else
      		Jdelta = Jy - Jx
      	PwrCPUave = N * Jdelta * 1000 / (Ty - Tx)

      mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Store protection bits in high VMA flags · 63c17fb8
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      vma->vm_flags is an 'unsigned long', so has space for 32 flags
      on 32-bit architectures.  The high 32 bits are unused on 64-bit
      platforms.  We've steered away from using the unused high VMA
      bits for things because we would have difficulty supporting it
      on 32-bit.
      
      Protection Keys are not available in 32-bit mode, so there is
      no concern about supporting this feature in 32-bit mode or on
      32-bit CPUs.
      
      This patch carves out 4 bits from the high half of
      vma->vm_flags and allows architectures to set config option
      to make them available.
      
      Sparse complains about these constants unless we explicitly
      call them "UL".

      x86/mm/pkeys: Add Kconfig option · 35e97790
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      I don't have a strong opinion on whether we need a Kconfig prompt
      or not.  Protection Keys has relatively little code associated
      with it, and it is not a heavyweight feature to keep enabled.
      However, I can imagine that folks would still appreciate being
      able to disable it.
      
      Note that, with disabled-features.h, the checks in the code
      for protection keys are always the same:
      
      	cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_PKU)

      x86/PCI: Add driver for Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) · 185a383a
      Keith Busch 提交于
      The Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) is a Root Complex Integrated
      Endpoint that acts as a host bridge to a secondary PCIe domain.  BIOS can
      reassign one or more Root Ports to appear within a VMD domain instead of
      the primary domain.  The immediate benefit is that additional PCIe domains
      allow more than 256 buses in a system by letting bus numbers be reused
      across different domains.
      
      VMD domains do not define ACPI _SEG, so to avoid domain clashing with host
      bridges defining this segment, VMD domains start at 0x10000, which is
      greater than the highest possible 16-bit ACPI defined _SEG.
      
      This driver enumerates and enables the domain using the root bus
      configuration interface provided by the PCI subsystem.  The driver provides
      configuration space accessor functions (pci_ops), bus and memory resources,
      an MSI IRQ domain with irq_chip implementation, and DMA operations
      necessary to use devices through the VMD endpoint's interface.
      
      VMD routes I/O as follows:
      
         1) Configuration Space: BAR 0 ("CFGBAR") of VMD provides the base
         address and size for configuration space register access to VMD-owned
         root ports.  It works similarly to MMCONFIG for extended configuration
         space.  Bus numbering is independent and does not conflict with the
         primary domain.
      
         2) MMIO Space: BARs 2 and 4 ("MEMBAR1" and "MEMBAR2") of VMD provide the
         base address, size, and type for MMIO register access.  These addresses
         are not translated by VMD hardware; they are simply reservations to be
         distributed to root ports' memory base/limit registers and subdivided
         among devices downstream.
      
         3) DMA: To interact appropriately with an IOMMU, the source ID DMA read
         and write requests are translated to the bus-device-function of the VMD
         endpoint.  Otherwise, DMA operates normally without VMD-specific address
         translation.
      
         4) Interrupts: Part of VMD's BAR 4 is reserved for VMD's MSI-X Table and
         PBA.  MSIs from VMD domain devices and ports are remapped to appear as
         if they were issued using one of VMD's MSI-X table entries.  Each MSI
         and MSI-X address of VMD-owned devices and ports has a special format
         where the address refers to specific entries in the VMD's MSI-X table.
         As with DMA, the interrupt source ID is translated to VMD's
         bus-device-function.
      
         The driver provides its own MSI and MSI-X configuration functions
         specific to how MSI messages are used within the VMD domain, and
         provides an irq_chip for independent IRQ allocation to relay interrupts
         from VMD's interrupt handler to the appropriate device driver's handler.
      
         5) Errors: PCIe error message are intercepted by the root ports normally
         (e.g., AER), except with VMD, system errors (i.e., firmware first) are
         disabled by default.  AER and hotplug interrupts are translated in the
         same way as endpoint interrupts.
      
         6) VMD does not support INTx interrupts or IO ports.  Devices or drivers
         requiring these features should either not be placed below VMD-owned
         root ports, or VMD should be disabled by BIOS for such endpoints.

      x86: mm: support ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS · 9e08f57d
      Daniel Cashman 提交于
      x86: arch_mmap_rnd() uses hard-coded values, 8 for 32-bit and 28 for
      64-bit, to generate the random offset for the mmap base address.  This
      value represents a compromise between increased ASLR effectiveness and
      avoiding address-space fragmentation.  Replace it with a Kconfig option,
      which is sensibly bounded, so that platform developers may choose where
      to place this compromise.  Keep default values as new minimums.

      locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics · 45e898b7
      Waiman Long 提交于
      This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related
      PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration
      option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which
      enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have
      a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used.
      
      The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the
      performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported
      via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory.  When the
      corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the
      required data are then performed.
      
      The measured latencies for different CPUs are:
      
      	CPU		Wakeup		Kicking
      	---		------		-------
      	Haswell-EX	63.6us		 7.4us
      	Westmere-EX	67.6us		 9.3us
      
      The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
      latency is much higher than the kicking latency.
      
      A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU
      overcommit) was:
      
      	pv_hash_hops=1.00
      	pv_kick_unlock=1148
      	pv_kick_wake=1146

      x86/vm86: Fix the misleading CONFIG_VM86 Kconfig help text · 1e642812
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      The CONFIG_VM86 Kconfig help text is actively misleading, so fix it:
      
        - Don't mark it 'obsolete' in the text as we'll support the ABI as long as CPUs
          support it.
      
        - Qualify the part about software emulation and mention that for some apps you
          want a real vm86 mode.
      
        - Don't scare users away from the option, instead explain what it does.

      kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code · 2965faa5
      Dave Young 提交于
      There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
       kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c.  In this patch I
      split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
      
      And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
      use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
      
      The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
      being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled.  But kexec-tools use
      kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
      
      Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
      in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel.  KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
      KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
      
      Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
      architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
      KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.  Also updated general kernel code with to
      kexec_load syscall.

      mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages · 72b252ae
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
      potentially accesssed by other CPUs.  There are many circumstances where
      this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
      running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
      CPUs.
      
      On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
      larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
      high.  This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
      potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped.  When the unmapping
      is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
      is lower than flushing individual entries.
      
      Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.
      
              If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
              architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
              from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.
      
      This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
      much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting.  The
      architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
      higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry.  An additional
      architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required.  It's a trivial
      wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.
      
      The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
      requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure.  The
      case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
      taken from the vm-scalability test suite.  The test case uses NR_CPU
      readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

      This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
      system CPU time.  From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
      interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
      test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.
      
      The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

      Elapsed        27.29        22.55
      
      It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
      from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.
      
      The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
      relatively few mapped pages.  It will have an unpredictable impact on the
      workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
      entries need to be refilled and how long that takes.  Worst case, the TLB
      will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
      resident at all.

      x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB · 96601adb
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Given that a write-back (WB) mapping plus non-temporal stores is
      expected to be the most efficient way to access PMEM, update the
      definition of ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API to imply arch support for
      WB-mapped-PMEM.  This is needed as a pre-requisite for adding PMEM to
      the direct map and mapping it with struct page.
      
      The above clarification for X86_64 means that memcpy_to_pmem() is
      permitted to use the non-temporal arch_memcpy_to_pmem() rather than
      needlessly fall back to default_memcpy_to_pmem() when the pcommit
      instruction is not available.  When arch_memcpy_to_pmem() is not
      guaranteed to flush writes out of cache, i.e. on older X86_32
      implementations where non-temporal stores may just dirty cache,
      ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is simply disabled.
      
      The default fall back for persistent memory handling remains.  Namely,
      map it with the WT (write-through) cache-type and hope for the best.
      
      arch_has_pmem_api() is updated to only indicate whether the arch
      provides the proper helpers to meet the minimum "writes are visible
      outside the cache hierarchy after memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem()".  Code
      that cares whether wmb_pmem() actually flushes writes to pmem must now
      call arch_has_wmb_pmem() directly.
