This occurs because of the following sequence in the boot: Main kernel boots and sets E820 map. The second kernel is booted with a map generated by the kdump service using memmap= and memmap=exactmap. These parameters are added to the kernel parameters of the kexec/kdump kernel. The kexec/kdump kernel has limited memory resources so as not to severely impact the main kernel. The system then panics and the kdump/kexec kernel boots (which is a completely new kernel boot). During this boot ACPI is initialized and the kernel (as can be seen above) traverses the ACPI namespace and finds an entry for a memory device to be hotadded. ie) [<ffffffff815a1e9f>] __add_pages+0xaf/0x240 [<ffffffff81047359>] arch_add_memory+0x59/0xd0 [<ffffffff815a21d9>] add_memory+0xb9/0x1b0 [<ffffffff81333b9c>] acpi_memory_device_add+0x18d/0x26d [<ffffffff81309a01>] acpi_bus_device_attach+0x7d/0xcd [<ffffffff8132379d>] acpi_ns_walk_namespace+0xc8/0x17f [<ffffffff81309984>] ? acpi_bus_type_and_status+0x90/0x90 [<ffffffff81309984>] ? acpi_bus_type_and_status+0x90/0x90 [<ffffffff81323c8c>] acpi_walk_namespace+0x95/0xc5 [<ffffffff8130a6d6>] acpi_bus_scan+0x8b/0x9d [<ffffffff81a2019a>] acpi_scan_init+0x63/0x160 [<ffffffff81a1ffb5>] acpi_init+0x25d/0x2a6 At this point the kernel adds page table information and the the kexec/kdump kernel runs out of memory. This can also be reproduced by using the memmap=exactmap and mem=X parameters on the main kernel and booting. This patchset resolves the problem by adding a kernel parameter, acpi_no_memhotplug, to disable ACPI memory hotplug.

由 HATAYAMA Daisuke 提交于
Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter. To use this kernel parameter, specify an initial APIC ID of the corresponding CPU you want to disable. This is mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to disable BSP to wake up multiple CPUs without causing system reset or hang due to sending INIT from AP to BSP. Kdump users first figure out initial APIC ID of the BSP, CPU0 in the 1st kernel, for example from /proc/cpuinfo and then set up this kernel parameter for the 2nd kernel using the obtained APIC ID. However, doing this procedure at each boot time manually is awkward, which should be automatically done by user-land service scripts, for example, kexec-tools on fedora/RHEL distributions. This design is more flexible than disabling BSP in kernel boot time automatically in that in kernel boot time we have no choice but referring to ACPI/MP table to obtain initial APIC ID for BSP, meaning that the method is not applicable to the systems without such BIOS tables. One assumption behind this design is that users get initial APIC ID of the BSP in still healthy state and so BSP is uniquely kept in CPU0. Thus, through the kernel parameter, only one initial APIC ID can be specified. In a comparison with disabled_cpu_apicid, we use read_apic_id(), not boot_cpu_physical_apicid, because on some platforms, the variable is modified to the apicid reported as BSP through MP table and this function is executed with the temporarily modified boot_cpu_physical_apicid. As a result, disabled_cpu_apicid kernel parameter doesn't work well for apicids of APs. Fixing the wrong handling of boot_cpu_physical_apicid requires some reviews and tests beyond some platforms and it could take some time. The fix here is a kind of workaround to focus on the main topic of this patch.

由 Richard Guy Briggs 提交于
The default audit_backlog_limit is 64. This was a reasonable limit at one time. systemd causes so much audit queue activity on startup that auditd doesn't start before the backlog queue has already overflowed by more than a factor of 2. On a system with audit= not set on the kernel command line, this isn't an issue since that history isn't kept for auditd when it is available. On a system with audit=1 set on the kernel command line, kaudit tries to keep that history until auditd is able to drain the queue. This default can be changed by the "-b" option in audit.rules once the system has booted, but won't help with lost messages on boot. One way to solve this would be to increase the default backlog queue size to avoid losing any messages before auditd is able to consume them. This would be overkill to the embedded community and insufficient for some servers. Another way to solve it might be to add a kconfig option to set the default based on the system type. An embedded system would get the current (or smaller) default, while Workstations might get more than now and servers might get more. None of these solutions helps if a system's compiled default is too small to see the lost messages without compiling a new kernel. This patch adds a kernel set-up parameter (audit already has one to enable/disable it) "audit_backlog_limit=<n>" that overrides the default to allow the system administrator to set the backlog limit.

The CONFIG_HPET_MMAP Kconfig option exposes the memory map of the HPET registers to userspace. The Kconfig help points out that in some cases this can be a security risk as some systems may erroneously configure the map such that additional data is exposed to userspace. This is a problem for distributions -- some users want the MMAP functionality but it comes with a significant security risk. In an effort to mitigate this risk, and due to the low number of users of the MMAP functionality, I've introduced a kernel parameter, hpet_mmap_enable, that is required in order to actually have the HPET MMAP exposed.

The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable. As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it cannot be hot-removed. So memory hotplug users may want to set all hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it. Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed. But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE. By doing this, the kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes. This will cause NUMA performance down. And other users may be unhappy. So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality. In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE. To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock allocation direction. That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in the previous patches. So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel does the following: 1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up. 2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory top down. Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this functionality. For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything. The kernel will work as before.

We map the EFI regions needed for runtime services non-contiguously, with preserved alignment on virtual addresses starting from -4G down for a total max space of 64G. This way, we provide for stable runtime services addresses across kernels so that a kexec'd kernel can still use them. Thus, they're mapped in a separate pagetable so that we don't pollute the kernel namespace. Add an efi= kernel command line parameter for passing miscellaneous options and chicken bits from the command line. While at it, add a chicken bit called "efi=old_map" which can be used as a fallback to the old runtime services mapping method in case there's some b0rkage with a particular EFI implementation (haha, it is hard to hold up the sarcasm here...).

The IMA measurement list contains two hashes - a template data hash and a filedata hash. The template data hash is committed to the TPM, which is limited, by the TPM v1.2 specification, to 20 bytes. The filedata hash is defined as 20 bytes as well. Now that support for variable length measurement list templates was added, the filedata hash is not limited to 20 bytes. This patch adds Kconfig support for defining larger default filedata hash algorithms and replacing the builtin default with one specified on the kernel command line. <uapi/linux/hash_info.h> contains a list of hash algorithms. The Kconfig default hash algorithm is a subset of this list, but any hash algorithm included in the list can be specified at boot, using the 'ima_hash=' kernel command line option.

Additionally, enforces CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as the minimum relocation position when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE.

Any hacker who thinks that a command prompt on a "black screen with white font" is not supicious enough can now use the kernel parameter vt.color=10 to get a nice, evil green.

This patch changes the "acpi_osi=" boot parameter implementation so that: 1. "acpi_osi=!" can be used to disable all _OSI OS vendor strings by default. It is meaningless to specify "acpi_osi=!" multiple times as it can only affect the default state of the target _OSI strings. 2. "acpi_osi=!*" can be used to remove all _OSI OS vendor strings and all _OSI feature group strings. It is useful to specify "acpi_osi=!*" multiple times through kernel command line to override the current state of the target _OSI strings.

This patch introduces "acpi_osi=!" command line to force Linux replying "UNSUPPORTED" to all of the _OSI strings. This patch is based on an ACPICA enhancement - the new API acpi_update_interfaces(). The _OSI object provides the platform with the ability to query OSPM to determine the set of ACPI related interfaces, behaviors, or features that the operating system supports. The argument passed to the _OSI is a string like the followings: 1. Feature Group String, examples include Module Device Processor Device 3.0 _SCP Extensions Processor Aggregator Device ... 2. OS Vendor String, examples include Linux FreeBSD Windows ... There are AML codes provided in the ACPI namespace written in the following style to determine OSPM interfaces / features: Method(OSCK) { if (CondRefOf(_OSI, Local0)) { if (\_OSI("Windows")) { Return (One) } if (\_OSI("Windows 2006")) { Return (Ones) } Return (Zero) } Return (Zero) } There is a debugging facility implemented in Linux. Users can pass "acpi_osi=" boot parameters to the kernel to tune the _OSI evaluation result so that certain AML codes can be executed. Current implementation includes: 1. 'acpi_osi=' - this makes CondRefOf(_OSI, Local0) TRUE 2. 'acpi_osi="Windows"' - this makes \_OSI("Windows") TRUE 3. 'acpi_osi="!Windows"' - this makes \_OSI("Windows") FALSE The function to implement this feature is also used as a quirk mechanism in the Linux ACPI subystem. When _OSI is evaluatated by the AML codes, ACPICA replies "SUPPORTED" to all Windows operating system vendor strings. This is because Windows operating systems return "SUPPORTED" if the argument to the _OSI method specifies an earlier version of Windows. Please refer to the following MSDN document: How to Identify the Windows Version in ACPI by Using _OSI http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hardware/gg463275.aspx This adds difficulties when developers want to feed specific Windows operating system vendor string to the BIOS codes for debugging purpose, multiple acpi_osi="!xxx" have to be specified in the command line to force Linux replying "UNSUPPORTED" to the Windows OS vendor strings listed in the AML codes.

Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the ring buffer. This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse, by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

The package power limit notification interrupt is primarily for system diagnosis, and should not be blindly enabled on every system by default -- particuarly since Linux does nothing in the handler except count how many times it has been called... Add a new kernel cmdline parameter "int_pln_enable" for situations where users want to oberve these events via existing system counters: $ grep TRM /proc/interrupts $ grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/thermal_throttle/* https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36182Signed-off-by: NFenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Some device require DMADIR to be enabled, but are not detected as such by atapi_id_dmadir. One such example is "Asus Serillel 2" SATA-host-to-PATA-device bridge: the bridge itself requires DMADIR, even if the bridged device does not. As atapi_dmadir module parameter can cause problems with some devices (as per Tejun Heo's memory), enabling it globally may not be possible depending on the hardware. This patch adds atapi_dmadir in the form of a "force" horkage value, allowing global, per-bus and per-device control.
