The i386 thread_info contains a previous_esp field that is used to daisy chain the different stacks for dump_stack() (ie. irq, softirq, thread stacks). The goal is to eventual make i386 handling of thread_info the same as x86_64, which means that the thread_info will not be in the stack but as a per_cpu variable. We will no longer depend on thread_info being able to daisy chain different stacks as it will only exist in one location (the thread stack). By moving previous_esp to the end of thread_info and referencing it as an offset instead of using a thread_info field, this becomes a stepping stone to moving the thread_info. The offset to get to the previous stack is rather ugly in this patch, but this is only temporary and the prev_esp will be changed in the next commit. This commit is more for sanity checks of the change.

Convert x86 to use a per-cpu preemption count. The reason for doing so is that accessing per-cpu variables is a lot cheaper than accessing thread_info variables. We still need to save/restore the actual preemption count due to PREEMPT_ACTIVE so we place the per-cpu __preempt_count variable in the same cache-line as the other hot __switch_to() variables such as current_task. NOTE: this save/restore is required even for !PREEMPT kernels as cond_resched() also relies on preempt_count's PREEMPT_ACTIVE to ignore task_struct::state. Also rename thread_info::preempt_count to ensure nobody is 'accidentally' still poking at it.

The tracing of ia32 compat system calls has been a bit of a pain as they use different system call numbers than the 64bit equivalents. I wrote a simple 'lls' program that lists files. I compiled it as a i686 ELF binary and ran it under a x86_64 box. This is the result: echo 0 > /debug/tracing/tracing_on echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/enable echo 1 > /debug/tracing/tracing_on ; ./lls ; echo 0 > /debug/tracing/tracing_on grep lls /debug/tracing/trace [.. skipping calls before TS_COMPAT is set ...] lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409188: sys_recvfrom(fd: 0, ubuf: 4d560fc4, size: 0, flags: 8048034, addr: 8, addr_len: f7700420) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409190: sys_recvfrom -> 0x8a77000 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409211: sys_lgetxattr(pathname: 0, name: 1000, value: 3, size: 22) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409215: sys_lgetxattr -> 0xf76ff000 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409223: sys_dup2(oldfd: 4d55ae9b, newfd: 4) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409228: sys_dup2 -> 0xfffffffffffffffe lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409236: sys_newfstat(fd: 4d55b085, statbuf: 80000) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409242: sys_newfstat -> 0x3 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409243: sys_removexattr(pathname: 3, name: ffcd0060) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409244: sys_removexattr -> 0x0 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409245: sys_lgetxattr(pathname: 0, name: 19614, value: 1, size: 2) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409248: sys_lgetxattr -> 0xf76e5000 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409248: sys_newlstat(filename: 3, statbuf: 19614) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409249: sys_newlstat -> 0x0 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409262: sys_newfstat(fd: f76fb588, statbuf: 80000) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409279: sys_newfstat -> 0x3 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.409279: sys_close(fd: 3) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.421550: sys_close -> 0x200 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.421558: sys_removexattr(pathname: 3, name: ffcd00d0) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.421560: sys_removexattr -> 0x0 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.421569: sys_lgetxattr(pathname: 4d564000, name: 1b1abc, value: 5, size: 802) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.421574: sys_lgetxattr -> 0x4d564000 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.421575: sys_capget(header: 4d70f000, dataptr: 1000) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.421580: sys_capget -> 0x0 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.421580: sys_lgetxattr(pathname: 4d710000, name: 3000, value: 3, size: 812) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.421589: sys_lgetxattr -> 0x4d710000 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.426130: sys_lgetxattr(pathname: 4d713000, name: 2abc, value: 3, size: 32) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.426141: sys_lgetxattr -> 0x4d713000 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.426145: sys_newlstat(filename: 3, statbuf: f76ff3f0) lls-1127 [005] d... 936.426146: sys_newlstat -> 0x0 lls-1127 [005] d... 936.431748: sys_lgetxattr(pathname: 0, name: 1000, value: 3, size: 22) Obviously I'm not calling newfstat with a fd of 4d55b085. The calls are obviously incorrect, and confusing. Other efforts have been made to fix this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/26/367 But the real solution is to rewrite the syscall internals and come up with a fixed solution. One that doesn't require all the kluge that the current solution has. Thus for now, instead of outputting incorrect data, simply ignore them. With this patch the changes now have: #> grep lls /debug/tracing/trace #> Compat system calls simply are not traced. If users need compat syscalls, then they should just use the raw syscall tracepoints. For an architecture to make their compat syscalls ignored, it must define ARCH_TRACE_IGNORE_COMPAT_SYSCALLS (done in asm/ftrace.h) and also define an arch_trace_is_compat_syscall() function that will return true if the current task should ignore tracing the syscall. I want to stress that this change does not affect actual syscalls in any way, shape or form. It is only used within the tracing system and doesn't interfere with the syscall logic at all. The changes are consolidated nicely into trace_syscalls.c and asm/ftrace.h. I had to make one small modification to asm/thread_info.h and that was to remove the include of asm/ftrace.h. As asm/ftrace.h required the current_thread_info() it was causing include hell. That include was added back in 2008 when the function graph tracer was added: commit caf4b323 "tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing" It does not need to be included there.

Uprobes uses exception notifiers to get to know if a thread hit a breakpoint or a singlestep exception. When a thread hits a uprobe or is singlestepping post a uprobe hit, the uprobe exception notifier sets its TIF_UPROBE bit, which will then be checked on its return to userspace path (do_notify_resume() ->uprobe_notify_resume()), where the consumers handlers are run (in task context) based on the defined filters. Uprobe hits are thread specific and hence we need to maintain information about if a task hit a uprobe, what uprobe was hit, the slot where the original instruction was copied for xol so that it can be singlestepped with appropriate fixups. In some cases, special care is needed for instructions that are executed out of line (xol). These are architecture specific artefacts, such as handling RIP relative instructions on x86_64. Since the instruction at which the uprobe was inserted is executed out of line, architecture specific fixups are added so that the thread continues normal execution in the presence of a uprobe. Postpone the signals until we execute the probed insn. post_xol() path does a recalc_sigpending() before return to user-mode, this ensures the signal can't be lost. Uprobes relies on DIE_DEBUG notification to notify if a singlestep is complete. Adds x86 specific uprobe exception notifiers and appropriate hooks needed to determine a uprobe hit and subsequent post processing. Add requisite x86 fixups for xol for uprobes. Specific cases needing fixups include relative jumps (x86_64), calls, etc. Where possible, we check and skip singlestepping the breakpointed instructions. For now we skip single byte as well as few multibyte nop instructions. However this can be extended to other instructions too.

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.

GET_THREAD_INFO() involves a memory read immediately followed by an "sub" on the value read, in turn (in several cases) immediately followed by a use of the calculated value as the base address of a memory access. This combination of instructions has a non-negligible potential for stalls. In the system call entry point code, however, the (fixed) offset of the stack pointer from the end of the stack is generally known, and hence we can instead avoid the memory load and subtract, and instead do the memory reference using %rsp as the base register. To do so in a legible fashion, introduce a THREAD_INFO() macro which, provided a register (generally %rsp) and the known offset from the end of the stack, produces a suitable memory access operand. The patch attempts to only touch the fast paths (no auditing and alike), but manages to do so only in the 64-bit entry point case; the compatibility mode entry points have so many interdependencies between their various branch targets that it was necessary to also adjust the slow paths to eliminate the risk of having missed some register dependency during code analysis.

To make this work, we teach the page fault handler how to send signals on failed uaccess. This only works for user addresses (kernel addresses will never hit the page fault handler in the first place), so we need to generate signals for those separately. This gets the tricky case right: if the user buffer spans multiple pages and only the second page is invalid, we set cr2 and si_addr correctly. UML relies on this behavior to "fault in" pages as needed. We steal a bit from thread_info.uaccess_err to enable this. Before this change, uaccess_err was a 32-bit boolean value. This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate.

TS_POLLING set tells the scheduler an idle_task will poll need_resched() to look for work. TS_POLLING clear tells resched_task() and wake_up_idle_cpu() that the remote CPU's idle_task is now sleeping in idle, and thus requires a reschedule interrupt notice work. Update the description of TS_POLLING to reflect how it works.

The fpu code currently uses current->thread_info->status & TS_XSAVE as a way to distinguish between XSAVE capable processors and older processors. The decision is not really task specific; instead we use the task status to avoid a global memory reference - the value should be the same across all threads. Eliminate this tie-in into the task structure by using an alternative instruction keyed off the XSAVE cpu feature; this results in shorter and faster code, without introducing a global memory reference.

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries. And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing for a 32-bit compat process. Everything becomes much more straightforward this way. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Add a general per-cpu notifier that is called whenever the kernel is about to return to userspace. The notifier uses a thread_info flag and existing checks, so there is no impact on user return or context switch fast paths. This will be used initially to speed up KVM task switching by lazily updating MSRs.

This is very useful for some common things like 'get_current()' and 'get_thread_info()', which can be used multiple times in a function, and where the result is cacheable. tj: Added the magical undocumented "P" modifier to UP __percpu_arg() to force gcc to dereference the pointer value passed in via the "p" input constraint. Without this, percpu_read_stable() returns the address of the percpu variable. Also added comment explaining the difference between percpu_read() and percpu_read_stable().

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single definition site. Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look, your arch code is funny. The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included sched.h so we're good.

While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on them. This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this issue. Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based single link list implementation to track counters that have pending wakeups. [ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the network wakeups. ] Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the wakeup. The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be sufficient.
