Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock" contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are contended. Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t. Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the spinlock. So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for "atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero), so a locked region can still see the count change. The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock. In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to do three things: (1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works on such a u64 data type. (2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked ("arch_spin_value_unlocked()") (3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its Kconfig file. This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for 32-bit mode).

Silvermont (22nm Atom) has two offcore response configuration MSRs, unlike other Intel CPU, its event code for MSR_OFFCORE_RSP_1 is 0x02b7. To avoid complicating intel_fixup_er(), use INTEL_UEVENT_EXTRA_REG to define MSR_OFFCORE_RSP_X. So intel_fixup_er() can find the event code for OFFCORE_RSP_N by x86_pmu.extra_regs[N].event.

Update comment in uaccess.h to reflect the changes for clang support: gcc only cares about the base register (most architectures don't encode the size of the operation in the operands like x86 does, and so it is treated effectively like a register number), whereas clang tries to enforce the size -- but not for register pairs.

Clang does not support the "shortcut" we're taking here for gcc (see below). The patch uses the macro _ASM_DX to do the job. From arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h: /* * Careful: we have to cast the result to the type of the pointer * for sign reasons. * * The use of %edx as the register specifier is a bit of a * simplification, as gcc only cares about it as the starting point * and not size: for a 64-bit value it will use %ecx:%edx on 32 bits * (%ecx being the next register in gcc's x86 register sequence), and * %rdx on 64 bits. */ [ hpa: I consider this a compatibility bug in clang as this reflects a bit of a misunderstanding about how register strings are used by gcc, but the workaround is straightforward and there is no particular reason to not do it. ] Signed-off-by: NJan-Simon Möller <dl9pf@gmx.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1377803585-5913-3-git-send-email-dl9pf@gmx.deSigned-off-by: NH.

The __ASM_* macros (e.g. __ASM_DX) are used to return the proper register name (e.g. edx for 32bit / rdx for 64bit). We want to use this also in arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h / get_user() . For this to work, we need a raw form as both gcc and clang choke on the whitespace in a register asm() statement, and the __ASM_FORM macro surrounds the argument with blanks. A new macro, __ASM_FORM_RAW was added and we change __ASM_REG to use the new RAW form.

由 Liu Ping Fan 提交于
When programming ioapic pinX more than once, current code does not check whether the later attr (trigger & polarity) is the same as the former or not. This causes broken semantics which can be observed in a qemu q35 machine, where ioapic's ioredtbl[x] can never be set as low-active, even if the hpet driver registered it. And hpet driver may share a high-level active IRQ line with other devices. So in qemu, when hpet-dev asserts low-level as kernel expects, the kernel has no response. With this patch, we can observe an ioredtbl[x] set as low-active for hpet. Fix it by reporting -EBUSY to the caller, when attr is different.

This reverts commit df54d6fa. The commit isn't necessarily wrong, but because it recalculates the random mmap_base every time, it seems to confuse user memory allocators that expect contiguous mmap allocations even when the mmap address isn't specified. In particular, the MATLAB Java runtime seems to be unhappy. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60774 So we'll want to apply the random offset only once, and Radu has a patch for that.

The "mpss" argument is redundant since we can easily look it up internally. In addition, all callers check "bus->self" for NULL, which we can also do internally. This patch simplifies the interface and the callers. No functional change.

An older PVHVM guest (v3.0 based) crashed during vCPU hot-plug with: kernel BUG at drivers/xen/events.c:1328! RCU has detected that a CPU has not entered a quiescent state within the grace period. It needs to send the CPU a reschedule IPI if it is not offline. rcu_implicit_offline_qs() does this check: /* * If the CPU is offline, it is in a quiescent state. We can * trust its state not to change because interrupts are disabled. */ if (cpu_is_offline(rdp->cpu)) { rdp->offline_fqs++; return 1; } Else the CPU is online. Send it a reschedule IPI. The CPU is in the middle of being hot-plugged and has been marked online (!cpu_is_offline()). See start_secondary(): set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true); ... per_cpu(cpu_state, smp_processor_id()) = CPU_ONLINE; start_secondary() then waits for the CPU bringing up the hot-plugged CPU to mark it as active: /* * Wait until the cpu which brought this one up marked it * online before enabling interrupts. If we don't do that then * we can end up waking up the softirq thread before this cpu * reached the active state, which makes the scheduler unhappy * and schedule the softirq thread on the wrong cpu. This is * only observable with forced threaded interrupts, but in * theory it could also happen w/o them. It's just way harder * to achieve. */ while (!cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), cpu_active_mask)) cpu_relax(); /* enable local interrupts */ local_irq_enable(); The CPU being hot-plugged will be marked active after it has been fully initialized by the CPU managing the hot-plug. In the Xen PVHVM case xen_smp_intr_init() is called to set up the hot-plugged vCPU's XEN_RESCHEDULE_VECTOR. The hot-plugging CPU is marked online, not marked active and does not have its IPI vectors set up. rcu_implicit_offline_qs() sees the hot-plugging cpu is !cpu_is_offline() and tries to send it a reschedule IPI: This will lead to: kernel BUG at drivers/xen/events.c:1328! xen_send_IPI_one() xen_smp_send_reschedule() rcu_implicit_offline_qs() rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs() force_qs_rnp() force_quiescent_state() __rcu_process_callbacks() rcu_process_callbacks() __do_softirq() call_softirq() do_softirq() irq_exit() xen_evtchn_do_upcall() because xen_send_IPI_one() will attempt to use an uninitialized IRQ for the XEN_RESCHEDULE_VECTOR. There is at least one other place that has caused the same crash: xen_smp_send_reschedule() wake_up_idle_cpu() add_timer_on() clocksource_watchdog() call_timer_fn() run_timer_softirq() __do_softirq() call_softirq() do_softirq() irq_exit() xen_evtchn_do_upcall() xen_hvm_callback_vector() clocksource_watchdog() uses cpu_online_mask to pick the next CPU to handle a watchdog timer: /* * Cycle through CPUs to check if the CPUs stay synchronized * to each other. */ next_cpu = cpumask_next(raw_smp_processor_id(), cpu_online_mask); if (next_cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) next_cpu = cpumask_first(cpu_online_mask); watchdog_timer.expires += WATCHDOG_INTERVAL; add_timer_on(&watchdog_timer, next_cpu); This resulted in an attempt to send an IPI to a hot-plugging CPU that had not initialized its reschedule vector. One option would be to make the RCU code check to not check for CPU offline but for CPU active. As becoming active is done after a CPU is online (in older kernels). But Srivatsa pointed out that "the cpu_active vs cpu_online ordering has been completely reworked - in the online path, cpu_active is set *before* cpu_online, and also, in the cpu offline path, the cpu_active bit is reset in the CPU_DYING notification instead of CPU_DOWN_PREPARE." Drilling in this the bring-up path: "[brought up CPU].. send out a CPU_STARTING notification, and in response to that, the scheduler sets the CPU in the cpu_active_mask. Again, this mask is better left to the scheduler alone, since it has the intelligence to use it judiciously." The conclusion was that: " 1. At the IPI sender side: It is incorrect to send an IPI to an offline CPU (cpu not present in the cpu_online_mask). There are numerous places where we check this and warn/complain. 2. At the IPI receiver side: It is incorrect to let the world know of our presence (by setting ourselves in global bitmasks) until our initialization steps are complete to such an extent that we can handle the consequences (such as receiving interrupts without crashing the sender etc.) " (from Srivatsa) As the native code enables the interrupts at some point we need to be able to service them. In other words a CPU must have valid IPI vectors if it has been marked online. It doesn't need to handle the IPI (interrupts may be disabled) but needs to have valid IPI vectors because another CPU may find it in cpu_online_mask and attempt to send it an IPI. This patch will change the order of the Xen vCPU bring-up functions so that Xen vectors have been set up before start_secondary() is called. It also will not continue to bring up a Xen vCPU if xen_smp_intr_init() fails to initialize it. Orabug 13823853 Signed-off-by Chuck Anderson <chuck.anderson@oracle.com> Acked-by: NSrivatsa S.

If there are UNUSABLE regions in the machine memory map, dom0 will attempt to map them 1:1 which is not permitted by Xen and the kernel will crash. There isn't anything interesting in the UNUSABLE region that the dom0 kernel needs access to so we can avoid making the 1:1 mapping and treat it as RAM. We only do this for dom0, as that is where tboot case shows up. A PV domU could have an UNUSABLE region in its pseudo-physical map and would need to be handled in another patch. This fixes a boot failure on hosts with tboot. tboot marks a region in the e820 map as unusable and the dom0 kernel would attempt to map this region and Xen does not permit unusable regions to be mapped by guests.

Prevent crash_kexec() from deadlocking on ioapic_lock. When crash_kexec() is executed on a CPU, the CPU will take ioapic_lock in disable_IO_APIC(). So if the cpu gets an NMI while locking ioapic_lock, a deadlock will happen. In this patch, ioapic_lock is zapped/initialized before disable_IO_APIC(). You can reproduce this deadlock the following way: 1. Add mdelay(1000) after raw_spin_lock_irqsave() in native_ioapic_set_affinity()@arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c Although the deadlock can occur without this modification, it will increase the potential of the deadlock problem. 2. Build and install the kernel 3. Set up the OS which will run panic() and kexec when NMI is injected # echo "kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf # vim /etc/default/grub add "nmi_watchdog=0 crashkernel=256M" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line # grub2-mkconfig 4. Reboot the OS 5. Run following command for each vcpu on the guest # while true; do echo <CPU num> > /proc/irq/<IO-APIC-edge or IO-APIC-fasteoi>/smp_affinitity; done; By running this command, cpus will get ioapic_lock for setting affinity. 6. Inject NMI (push a dump button or execute 'virsh inject-nmi <domain>' if you use VM). After injecting NMI, panic() is called in an nmi-handler context. Then, kexec will normally run in panic(), but the operation will be stopped by deadlock on ioapic_lock in crash_kexec()->machine_crash_shutdown()-> native_machine_crash_shutdown()->disable_IO_APIC()->clear_IO_APIC()-> clear_IO_APIC_pin()->ioapic_read_entry().

Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when pte read back. To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in pte entry for the page being swapped out. When such page is to be read back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back. One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap. The _PAGE_PSE was chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in pte.

This is only theoretical, but after try_to_wake_up(p) was changed to check p->state under p->pi_lock the code like __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); schedule(); can miss a signal. This is the special case of wait-for-condition, it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending). However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with "if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section. The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already does by the same reason. We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(), for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change the default implementation. While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers. Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for prepare_to_wait().

load_microcode_amd() (and the helper it is using) should not have an cpu parameter. The microcode loading does not depend on the CPU wrt the patches loaded since they will end up in a global list for all CPUs anyway. The change from cpu to x86family in load_microcode_amd() now allows to drop the code messing with cpu_data(cpu) from collect_cpu_info_amd_early(), which is wrong anyway because at that point the per-cpu cpu_info is not yet setup (These values would later be overwritten by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info()). Fold the rest of collect_cpu_info_amd_early() into load_ucode_amd_ap(), because its only used at one place and without the cpuinfo_x86 accesses it was not much left.

cpu_has_amd_erratum() is buggy, because it uses the per-cpu cpu_info before it is filled by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info(). If early microcode loading is enabled its collect_cpu_info_amd_early() will fill ->x86 and so the fallback to boot_cpu_data is not used. But ->x86_vendor was not filled and is still X86_VENDOR_INTEL resulting in no errata fixes getting applied and my system hangs on boot. Using cpu_info in cpu_has_amd_erratum() is wrong anyway: its only caller init_amd() will have a struct cpuinfo_x86 as parameter and the set_cpu_bug() that is controlled by cpu_has_amd_erratum() also only uses that struct. So pass the struct cpuinfo_x86 from init_amd() to cpu_has_amd_erratum() and the broken fallback can be dropped.

OpenFirmware wasn't quite following the protocol described in boot.txt and the kernel has detected this through use of the sentinel value in boot_params. OFW does zero out almost all of the stuff that it should do, but not the sentinel. This causes the kernel to clear olpc_ofw_header, which breaks x86 OLPC support. OpenFirmware has now been fixed. However, it would be nice if we could maintain Linux compatibility with old firmware versions. To do that, we just have to avoid zeroing out olpc_ofw_header. OFW does not write to any other parts of the header that are being zapped by the sentinel-detection code, and all users of olpc_ofw_header are somewhat protected through checking for the OLPC_OFW_SIG magic value before using it. So this should not cause any problems for anyone.
