This is part of the ops structure constification effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al. Benefits of this constification: * prevents modification of data that is shared (referenced) by many other structure instances at runtime * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional) modification attempts on archs that enforce read-only kernel data at runtime * potentially better optimized code as the compiler can assume that the const data cannot be changed * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata and therefore exclude them from false sharing Signed-off-by: NEmese Revfy <re.emese@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <4B65D712.3080804@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NH.

Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading spaces from strings all over the tree. It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide: text data bss dec hex filename 64688 584 592 65864 10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE) 64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-AFTER) Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words, "a char equals zero is never a space".

The current bound checks for copy_from_user in the MTRR driver are not as obvious as they could be, and gcc agrees with that. This patch simplifies the boundary checks to the point that gcc can now prove to itself that the copy_from_user() is never going past its bounds.

SDM Vol 3a section titled "MTRR considerations in MP systems" specifies the need for synchronizing the logical cpu's while initializing/updating MTRR. Currently Linux kernel does the synchronization of all cpu's only when a single MTRR register is programmed/updated. During an AP online (during boot/cpu-online/resume) where we initialize all the MTRR/PAT registers, we don't follow this synchronization algorithm. This can lead to scenarios where during a dynamic cpu online, that logical cpu is initializing MTRR/PAT with cache disabled (cr0.cd=1) etc while other logical HT sibling continue to run (also with cache disabled because of cr0.cd=1 on its sibling). Starting from Westmere, VMX transitions with cr0.cd=1 don't work properly (because of some VMX performance optimizations) and the above scenario (with one logical cpu doing VMX activity and another logical cpu coming online) can result in system crash. Fix the MTRR initialization by doing rendezvous of all the cpus. During boot and resume, we delay the MTRR/PAT init for APs till all the logical cpu's come online and the rendezvous process at the end of AP's bringup, will initialize the MTRR/PAT for all AP's. For dynamic single cpu online, we synchronize all the logical cpus and do the MTRR/PAT init on the AP that is coming online.

Yinghai noticed that i defined BIOS_BUG_MSG but added no usage for it. The usage is to clean up this turd in generic.c: printk(KERN_WARNING "WARNING: BIOS bug: VAR MTRR %d " "contains strange UC entry under 1M, check " "with your system vendor!\n", i); Breaking printk lines in the middle looks ugly, is hard to read and breaks 'git grep'. Use the BIOS_BUG_MSG instead. Also complete the moving of structure definitions and variables to the top of the file.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454Signed-off-by: NAlexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

Impact: bug fix + BIOS workaround BIOS is expected to clear the SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on AMD CPUs after fixed MTRRs are configured. Some BIOSes do not clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on BP (and on APs). This can lead to obfuscation in Linux when this bit is not cleared on BP but cleared on APs. A consequence of this is that the saved fixed-MTRR state (from BP) differs from the fixed-MTRRs of APs -- because RdDram/WrDram bits are read as zero when SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] is cleared -- and Linux tries to sync fixed-MTRR state from BP to AP. This implies that Linux sets SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and activates those bits. More important is that (some) systems change these bits in SMM when ACPI is enabled. Hence it is racy if Linux modifies RdMem/WrMem bits, too. (1) The patch modifies an old fix from Bernhard Kaindl to get suspend/resume working on some Acer Laptops. Bernhard's patch tried to sync RdMem/WrMem bits of fixed MTRR registers and that helped on those old Laptops. (Don't ask me why -- can't test it myself). But this old problem was not the motivation for the patch. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/3/110) (2) The more important effect is to fix issues on some more current systems. On those systems Linux panics or just freezes, see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541 (and also duplicates of this bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11737 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11714) The affected systems boot only using acpi=ht, acpi=off or when the kernel is built with CONFIG_MTRR=n. The acpi options prevent full enablement of ACPI. Obviously when ACPI is enabled the BIOS/SMM modfies RdMem/WrMem bits. When CONFIG_MTRR=y Linux also accesses and modifies those bits when it needs to sync fixed-MTRRs across cores (Bernhard's fix, see (1)). How do you synchronize that? You can't. As a consequence Linux shouldn't touch those bits at all (Rationale are AMD's BKDGs which recommend to clear the bit that makes RdMem/WrMem accessible). This is the purpose of this patch. And (so far) this suffices to fix (1) and (2). I suggest not to touch RdDram/WrDram bits of fixed-MTRRs and SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and to clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] as suggested by AMD K8, and AMD family 10h/11h BKDGs. BIOS is expected to do this anyway. This should avoid that Linux and SMM tread on each other's toes ...

Impact: improve MTRR debugging messages There's still inefficiencies suspected with the MTRR sanitizing code, so make sure we get all the info we need from a dmesg. - Remove unneeded mtrr_show (It will only printout one time by first cpu, so it is no big deal.) - Also print out directly from get_mtrr, because it doesn't update mtrr_state.

kerneloops.org is reporting a lot of these warnings that come due to vmware not setting up any MTRRs for emulated CPUs: | Reported 709 times (14696 total reports) | BIOS bug (often in VMWare) where the MTRR's are set up incorrectly | or not at all | | This warning was last seen in version 2.6.29-rc2-git1, and first | seen in 2.6.24. | | More info: | http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=mtrr_trim_uncached_memory Keep a one-liner KERN_INFO about it - so that we have so notice if empty MTRRs are caused by native hardware/BIOS weirdness.

while looking at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541 I realized that the mtrr.show param cannot work, because the code is processed much too early. This patch: - Declares mtrr.show as early_param - Stays consistent with the previous param (which I doubt that it ever worked), so mtrr.show=1 would still work - Declares mtrr_show as initdata Signed-off-by: NThomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Acked-by: NJan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
