      init: fix in-place parameter modification regression · 08746a65
      Krzysztof Mazur 提交于
      Before commit 026cee00
      ("params: <level>_initcall-like kernel parameters") the __setup
      parameter parsing code could modify parameter in the
      static_command_line buffer and such modifications were kept. After
      that commit such modifications are destroyed during per-initcall level
      parameter parsing because the same static_command_line buffer is used
      and only parameters for appropriate initcall level are parsed.
      
      That change broke at least parsing "ubd" parameter in the ubd driver
      when the COW file is used.
      
      Now the separate buffer is used for per-initcall parameter parsing.

      perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing · 9e630205
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread
      events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode
      (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair
      share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle
      there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing).
      However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count
      even though cores are asleep.
      
      This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing.  It introduces a
      per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes
      idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on
      system-wide events works much better.
      
      The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the
      multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into
      the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval
      value.
      
      In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and
      off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is
      activated.  It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted.
      
      In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of
      initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run
      before perf_event_init().
      
      The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like
      with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another
      patch.

      init: scream bloody murder if interrupts are enabled too early · f91eb62f
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      As I was testing a lot of my code recently, and having several
      "successes", I accidentally noticed in the dmesg this little line:
      
        start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled *very* early, fixing it
      
      Sure enough, one of my patches two commits ago enabled interrupts early.
      The sad part here is that I never noticed it, and I ran several tests with
      ktest too, and ktest did not notice this line.
      
      What ktest looks for (and so does many other automated testing scripts) is
      a back trace produced by a WARN_ON() or BUG().  As a back trace was never
      produced, my buggy patch could have slipped into linux-next, or even
      worse, mainline.
      
      Adding a WARN(!irqs_disabled()) makes this bug a little more obvious:

      Also, while examining other warnings in init/main.c, I found two other
      locations that deserve a bloody murder scream if their conditions are hit,
      and updated them accordingly.

      efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities · 83e68189
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
      EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
      indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
      bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.
      
      The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,
      
          https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
      
      which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
      designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
      bricked. Also, the following report,
      
          https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
      
      details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
      Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
      running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,
      
          if (!efi_enabled)
      
      hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.
      
      Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
      what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
      facilities.
      
      For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
      the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
      the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
      mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
      driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
      would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).
      
      This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

      init, block: try to load default elevator module early during boot · bb813f4c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default
      block elevator.  During boot, it's called right after initramfs or
      initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
      userland.  This ensures that as long as the modules are available in
      the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the
      default modules are loaded as soon as possible.
      
      This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator

      x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock (again) · bd52276f
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      Other than ix86, x86-64 on EFI so far didn't set the
      {g,s}et_wallclock accessors to the EFI routines, thus
      incorrectly using raw RTC accesses instead.
      
      Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't
      enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in
      physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual
      addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions
      (which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so
      instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode()
      ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling
      efi-get-time in physical mode).
      
      Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable()
      requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be
      avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this
      function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()).
      
      Also make the two EFI functions in question here static -
      they're not being referenced elsewhere.
      
      History:
      
          This commit was originally merged as bacef661 ("x86-64/efi:
          Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock") but it resulted in some
          ASUS machines no longer booting due to a firmware bug, and so was
          reverted in f026cfa8. A pre-emptive fix for the buggy ASUS
          firmware was merged in 03a1c254975e ("x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable
          mapping for virtual EFI calls") so now this patch can be
          reapplied.

      But it doesn't work as expected.  When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the
      new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't
      been called yet.  And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for
      online nodes as:
      
              for_each_online_node(nid) {
                      pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);
      
                      build_zonelists(pgdat);
                      build_zonelist_cache(pgdat);
              }
      
      Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't.  So
      add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for
      the new pgdat too.

      switch fput to task_work_add · 4a9d4b02

      ... and schedule_work() for interrupt/kernel_thread callers
      (and yes, now it *is* OK to call from interrupt).
      
      We are guaranteed that __fput() will be done before we return
      to userland (or exit).  Note that for fput() from a kernel
      thread we get an async behaviour; it's almost always OK, but
      sometimes you might need to have __fput() completed before
      you do anything else.  There are two mechanisms for that -
      a general barrier (flush_delayed_fput()) and explicit
      __fput_sync().  Both should be used with care (as was the
      case for fput() from kernel threads all along).  See comments
      in fs/file_table.c for details.

      9fb48c74 ("params: add 3rd arg to option handler callback

      but they don't contain any info for the general user staring at dmesg.
      I'm very doubtful the count of initcalls registered per level helps
      anyone so drop that output completely.

      module_param: stop double-calling parameters. · ae82fdb1
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Commit 026cee00 "params:
      <level>_initcall-like kernel parameters" set old-style module
      parameters to level 0.  And we call those level 0 calls where we used
      to, early in start_kernel().
      
      We also loop through the initcall levels and call the levelled
      module_params before the corresponding initcall.  Unfortunately level
      0 is early_init(), so we call the standard module_param calls twice.
      
      (Turns out most things don't care, but at least ubi.mtd does).
      
      Change the level to -1 for standard module_param calls.

      x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock · bacef661
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      Other than ix86, x86-64 on EFI so far didn't set the
      {g,s}et_wallclock accessors to the EFI routines, thus
      incorrectly using raw RTC accesses instead.
      
      Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't
      enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in
      physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual
      addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions
      (which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so
      instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode()
      ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling
      efi-get-time in physical mode).
      
      Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable()
      requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be
      avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this
      function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()).
      
      Also make the two EFI functions in question here static -
      they're not being referenced elsewhere.

      Fix blocking allocations called very early during bootup · 31a67102
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      During early boot, when the scheduler hasn't really been fully set up,
      we really can't do blocking allocations because with certain (dubious)
      configurations the "might_resched()" calls can actually result in
      scheduling events.
      
      We could just make such users always use GFP_ATOMIC, but quite often the
      code that does the allocation isn't really aware of the fact that the
      scheduler isn't up yet, and forcing that kind of random knowledge on the
      initialization code is just annoying and not good for anybody.
      
      And we actually have a the 'gfp_allowed_mask' exactly for this reason:
      it's just that the kernel init sequence happens to set it to allow
      blocking allocations much too early.
      
      So move the 'gfp_allowed_mask' initialization from 'start_kernel()'
      (which is some of the earliest init code, and runs with preemption
      disabled for good reasons) into 'kernel_init()'.  kernel_init() is run
      in the newly created thread that will become the 'init' process, as
      opposed to the early startup code that runs within the context of what
      will be the first idle thread.
      
      So by the time we reach 'kernel_init()', we know that the scheduler must
      be at least limping along, because we've already scheduled from the idle
      thread into the init thread.

      params: add 3rd arg to option handler callback signature · 9fb48c74
      Jim Cromie 提交于
      Add a 3rd arg, named "doing", to unknown-options callbacks invoked
      from parse_args(). The arg is passed as:
      
        "Booting kernel" from start_kernel(),
        initcall_level_names[i] from do_initcall_level(),
        mod->name from load_module(), via parse_args(), parse_one()
      
      parse_args() already has the "name" parameter, which is renamed to
      "doing" to better reflect current uses 1,2 above.  parse_args() passes
      it to an altered parse_one(), which now passes it down into the
      unknown option handler callbacks.
      
      The mod->name will be needed to handle dyndbg for loadable modules,
      since params passed by modprobe are not qualified (they do not have a
      "$modname." prefix), and by the time the unknown-param callback is
      called, the module name is not otherwise available.
      
      Minor tweaks:
      
      Add param-name to parse_one's pr_debug(), current message doesnt
      identify the param being handled, add it.
      
      Add a pr_info to print current level and level_name of the initcall,
      and number of registered initcalls at that level.  This adds 7 lines
      to dmesg output, like:
      
         initlevel:6=device, 172 registered initcalls
      
      Drop "parameters" from initcall_level_names[], its unhelpful in the
      pr_info() added above.  This array is passed into parse_args() by
      do_initcall_level().

      params: <level>_initcall-like kernel parameters · 026cee00
      Pawel Moll 提交于
      This patch adds a set of macros that can be used to declare
      kernel parameters to be parsed _before_ initcalls at a chosen
      level are executed.  We rename the now-unused "flags" field of
      struct kernel_param as the level.  It's signed, for when we
      use this for early params as well, in future.
      
      Linker macro collating init calls had to be modified in order
      to add additional symbols between levels that are later used
      by the init code to split the calls into blocks.
