There is currently a large divide between kernel development and the development of EFI boot loaders. The idea behind this patch is to give the kernel developers full control over the EFI boot process. As H. Peter Anvin put it, "The 'kernel carries its own stub' approach been very successful in dealing with BIOS, and would make a lot of sense to me for EFI as well." This patch introduces an EFI boot stub that allows an x86 bzImage to be loaded and executed by EFI firmware. The bzImage appears to the firmware as an EFI application. Luckily there are enough free bits within the bzImage header so that it can masquerade as an EFI application, thereby coercing the EFI firmware into loading it and jumping to its entry point. The beauty of this masquerading approach is that both BIOS and EFI boot loaders can still load and run the same bzImage, thereby allowing a single kernel image to work in any boot environment. The EFI boot stub supports multiple initrds, but they must exist on the same partition as the bzImage. Command-line arguments for the kernel can be appended after the bzImage name when run from the EFI shell, e.g. Shell> bzImage console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sdb initrd=initrd.img v7: - Fix checkpatch warnings. v6: - Try to allocate initrd memory just below hdr->inird_addr_max. v5: - load_options_size is UTF-16, which needs dividing by 2 to convert to the corresponding ASCII size. v4: - Don't read more than image->load_options_size v3: - Fix following warnings when compiling CONFIG_EFI_STUB=n arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c: In function ‘main’: arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:24: warning: unused variable ‘pe_header’ arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:15: warning: unused variable ‘file_sz’ - As reported by Matthew Garrett, some Apple machines have GOPs that don't have hardware attached. We need to weed these out by searching for ones that handle the PCIIO protocol. - Don't allocate memory if no initrds are on cmdline - Don't trust image->load_options_size Maarten Lankhorst noted: - Don't strip first argument when booted from efibootmgr - Don't allocate too much memory for cmdline - Don't update cmdline_size, the kernel considers it read-only - Don't accept '\n' for initrd names v2: - File alignment was too large, was 8192 should be 512. Reported by Maarten Lankhorst on LKML. - Added UGA support for graphics - Use VIDEO_TYPE_EFI instead of hard-coded number. - Move linelength assignment until after we've assigned depth - Dynamically fill out AddressOfEntryPoint in tools/build.c - Don't use magic number for GDT/TSS stuff. Requested by Andi Kleen - The bzImage may need to be relocated as it may have been loaded at a high address address by the firmware. This was required to get my macbook booting because the firmware loaded it at 0x7cxxxxxx, which triggers this error in decompress_kernel(), if (heap > ((-__PAGE_OFFSET-(128<<20)-1) & 0x7fffffff)) error("Destination address too large"); Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Cc: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Tested-by: NHenrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se> Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1321383097.2657.9.camel@mfleming-mobl1.ger.corp.intel.comSigned-off-by: NH.

efi_call_phys_prelog() sets up a 1:1 mapping of the physical address range in swapper_pg_dir. Instead of replacing then restoring entries in swapper_pg_dir we should be using initial_page_table which already contains the 1:1 mapping. It's safe to blindly switch back to swapper_pg_dir in the epilog because the physical EFI routines are only called before efi_enter_virtual_mode(), e.g. before any user processes have been forked. Therefore, we don't need to track which pgd was in %cr3 when we entered the prelog. The previous code actually contained a bug because it assumed that the kernel was loaded at a physical address within the first 8MB of ram, usually at 0x100000. However, this isn't the case with a CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y kernel which could have been loaded anywhere in the physical address space. Also delete the ancient (and bogus) comments about the page table being restored after the lock is released. There is no locking.

With the 3.2-rc kernel, IOMMU 2M pages in KVM works. But when I tried to use IOMMU 1GB pages in KVM, I encountered an oops and the 1GB page failed to be used. The root cause is that 1GB page allocation calls gup_huge_pud() while 2M page calls gup_huge_pmd. If compound pages are used and the page is a tail page, gup_huge_pmd() increases _mapcount to record tail page are mapped while gup_huge_pud does not do that. So when the mapped page is relesed, it will result in kernel oops because the page is not marked mapped. This patch add tail process for compound page in 1GB huge page which keeps the same process as 2M page. Reproduce like: 1. Add grub boot option: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=8 2. mount -t hugetlbfs -o pagesize=1G hugetlbfs /dev/hugepages 3. qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda os-kvm.img -cpu kvm64 -smp 4 -mem-path /dev/hugepages -net none -device pci-assign,host=07:00.1 kernel BUG at mm/swap.c:114! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Call Trace: put_page+0x15/0x37 kvm_release_pfn_clean+0x31/0x36 kvm_iommu_put_pages+0x94/0xb1 kvm_iommu_unmap_memslots+0x80/0xb6 kvm_assign_device+0xba/0x117 kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device+0x301/0xa47 kvm_vm_ioctl+0x36c/0x3a2 do_vfs_ioctl+0x49e/0x4e4 sys_ioctl+0x5a/0x7c system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b RIP put_compound_page+0xd4/0x168 Signed-off-by: NYouquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Reviewed-by: NAndrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

If we encounter an efi_memory_desc_t without EFI_MEMORY_WB set in ->attribute we currently call set_memory_uc(), which in turn calls __pa() on a potentially ioremap'd address. On CONFIG_X86_32 this is invalid, resulting in the following oops on some machines: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f7f22280 IP: [<c10257b9>] reserve_ram_pages_type+0x89/0x210 [...] Call Trace: [<c104f8ca>] ? page_is_ram+0x1a/0x40 [<c1025aff>] reserve_memtype+0xdf/0x2f0 [<c1024dc9>] set_memory_uc+0x49/0xa0 [<c19334d0>] efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1c2/0x3aa [<c19216d4>] start_kernel+0x291/0x2f2 [<c19211c7>] ? loglevel+0x1b/0x1b [<c19210bf>] i386_start_kernel+0xbf/0xc8 A better approach to this problem is to map the memory region with the correct attributes from the start, instead of modifying it after the fact. The uncached case can be handled by ioremap_nocache() and the cached by ioremap_cache(). Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on CONFIG_X86_64 because EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions really don't like being mapped into the vmalloc space, as detailed in the following bug report, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516 Therefore, we need to ensure that any EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions are covered by the direct kernel mapping table on CONFIG_X86_64. To accomplish this we now map E820_RESERVED_EFI regions via the direct kernel mapping with the initial call to init_memory_mapping() in setup_arch(), whereas previously these regions wouldn't be mapped if they were after the last E820_RAM region until efi_ioremap() was called. Doing it this way allows us to delete efi_ioremap() completely. Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> Cc: H.

由 Mark Langsdorf 提交于
When HPET is operating in RTC mode, the TN_ENABLE bit on timer1 controls whether the HPET or the RTC delivers interrupts to irq8. When the system goes into suspend, the RTC driver sends a signal to the HPET driver so that the HPET releases control of irq8, allowing the RTC to wake the system from suspend. The switchover is accomplished by a write to the HPET configuration registers which currently only occurs while servicing the HPET interrupt. On some systems, I have seen the system suspend before an HPET interrupt occurs, preventing the write to the HPET configuration register and leaving the HPET in control of the irq8. As the HPET is not active during suspend, it does not generate a wake signal and RTC alarms do not work. This patch forces the HPET driver to immediately transfer control of the irq8 channel to the RTC instead of waiting until the next interrupt event.

Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually set up the PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done synchronously and ends up trying to dereference a page that has not been set. Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn(), it uses 'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and doing the same in kmap_atomic_prot() and __kunmap_atomic() makes the problem go away. Interestingly, commit b8bcfe99 ("x86/paravirt: remove lazy mode in interrupts") removed part of this to fix an interrupt issue - but it went to far and did not consider this scenario.

Following is from Notes of section 11.5.3 of Intel processor manual available at: http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/325384.pdf For the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors, after the sequence of steps given above has been executed, the cache lines containing the code between the end of the WBINVD instruction and before the MTRRS have actually been disabled may be retained in the cache hierarchy. Here, to remove code from the cache completely, a second WBINVD instruction must be executed after the MTRRs have been disabled. This patch provides resolution for that. Ideally, I will like to make changes only for Pentium 4 and Xeon processors. But, I am not finding easier way to do it. And, extra wbinvd() instruction does not hurt much for other processors.

In commit f8924e77 ("x86: unify mp_bus_info"), the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MP_bus_info were rearranged to match each other better. Unfortunately it introduced a regression: prior to that change we used to always set the mp_bus_not_pci bit, then clear it if we found a PCI bus. After it, we set mp_bus_not_pci for ISA buses, clear it for PCI buses, and leave it alone otherwise. In the cases of ISA and PCI, there's not much difference. But ISA is not the only non-PCI bus, so it's better to always set mp_bus_not_pci and clear it only for PCI. Without this change, Dan's Dell PowerEdge 4200 panics on boot with a log indicating interrupt routing trouble unless the "noapic" option is supplied. With this change, the machine boots reliably without "noapic".

Force LVT offset assignment in this case. If the OS assignment fails, fallback to BIOS settings and try to setup this. The fallback to BIOS settings weakens the family check since force_ibs_eilvt_setup() may fail e.g. in case of virtual machines. But setup may still succeed if BIOS offsets are correct. Other families don't have a workaround implemented that assigns LVT offsets. It's ok, to drop calling force_ibs_eilvt_setup() for that families. With the patch the [Firmware Bug] messages vanish.

People with old AMD chips are getting hung boots, because commit bcb80e53 ("x86, microcode, AMD: Add microcode revision to /proc/cpuinfo") moved the microcode detection too early into "early_init_amd()". At that point we are *so* early in the booth that the exception tables haven't even been set up yet, so the whole rdmsr_safe(MSR_AMD64_PATCH_LEVEL, &c->microcode, &dummy); doesn't actually work: if the rdmsr does a GP fault (due to non-existant MSR register on older CPU's), we can't fix it up yet, and the boot fails. Fix it by simply moving the code to a slightly later point in the boot (init_amd() instead of early_init_amd()), since the kernel itself doesn't even really care about the microcode patchlevel at this point (or really ever: it's made available to user space in /proc/cpuinfo, and updated if you do a microcode load).

The idea behind commit d91ee586 ("cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle") was to have one call - disable_cpuidle() which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code. It disallows cpuidle_idle_call to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent). But in the select_idle_routine() and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still be set to either: amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle. This depends on some CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU. In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor (Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get: Brought up 2 CPUs invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 #1 RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81015d1d>] [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4 ... Call Trace: [<ffffffff8100e2ed>] cpu_idle+0xae/0xe8 [<ffffffff8149ee78>] cpu_bringup_and_idle+0xe/0x10 RIP [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4 RSP <ffff8801d28ddf10> In the case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but we do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor, and then follow it up with a yield hypercall. Meaning we end up going to hypervisor twice instead of just once. The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set to default_idle regardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup. We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen. This patch does that.

Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and prevents the recursion. Based on a similar patch for Xen from Jeremy Fitzhardinge. Tested-by: NGleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Acked-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

(Added the missing signed-off-by line) In hundreds of days, the __cycles_2_ns calculation in sched_clock has an overflow. cyc * per_cpu(cyc2ns, cpu) exceeds 64 bits, causing the final value to become zero. We can solve this without losing any precision. We can decompose TSC into quotient and remainder of division by the scale factor, and then use this to convert TSC into nanoseconds.

When mapping a foreign page with xenbus_map_ring_valloc() with the GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref hypercall, set the GNTMAP_contains_pte flag and pass a pointer to the PTE (in init_mm). After the page is mapped, the usual fault mechanism can be used to update additional MMs. This allows the vmalloc_sync_all() to be removed from alloc_vm_area().

Now that the core offcore support is fixed up (thanks Stephane) and we have sane generic events utilizing them, re-enable the raw access to the feature as well. Note that it doesn't matter if you use event 0x1b7 or 0x1bb to specify an offcore event, either one works and neither guarantees you'll end up on a particular offcore MSR.
