For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling __put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest. Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad for performance. Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace __[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().

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.

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().

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.

Maintain a flag in the LSB of the ticket lock tail which indicates whether anyone is in the lock slowpath and may need kicking when the current holder unlocks. The flags are set when the first locker enters the slowpath, and cleared when unlocking to an empty queue (ie, no contention). In the specific implementation of lock_spinning(), make sure to set the slowpath flags on the lock just before blocking. We must do this before the last-chance pickup test to prevent a deadlock with the unlocker: Unlocker Locker test for lock pickup -> fail unlock test slowpath -> false set slowpath flags block Whereas this works in any ordering: Unlocker Locker set slowpath flags test for lock pickup -> fail block unlock test slowpath -> true, kick If the unlocker finds that the lock has the slowpath flag set but it is actually uncontended (ie, head == tail, so nobody is waiting), then it clears the slowpath flag. The unlock code uses a locked add to update the head counter. This also acts as a full memory barrier so that its safe to subsequently read back the slowflag state, knowing that the updated lock is visible to the other CPUs. If it were an unlocked add, then the flag read may just be forwarded from the store buffer before it was visible to the other CPUs, which could result in a deadlock. Unfortunately this means we need to do a locked instruction when unlocking with PV ticketlocks. However, if PV ticketlocks are not enabled, then the old non-locked "add" is the only unlocking code. Note: this code relies on gcc making sure that unlikely() code is out of line of the fastpath, which only happens when OPTIMIZE_SIZE=n. If it doesn't the generated code isn't too bad, but its definitely suboptimal. Thanks to Srivatsa Vaddagiri for providing a bugfix to the original version of this change, which has been folded in. Thanks to Stephan Diestelhorst for commenting on some code which relied on an inaccurate reading of the x86 memory ordering rules.

由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
Rather than outright replacing the entire spinlock implementation in order to paravirtualize it, keep the ticket lock implementation but add a couple of pvops hooks on the slow patch (long spin on lock, unlocking a contended lock). Ticket locks have a number of nice properties, but they also have some surprising behaviours in virtual environments. They enforce a strict FIFO ordering on cpus trying to take a lock; however, if the hypervisor scheduler does not schedule the cpus in the correct order, the system can waste a huge amount of time spinning until the next cpu can take the lock. (See Thomas Friebel's talk "Prevent Guests from Spinning Around" http://www.xen.org/files/xensummitboston08/LHP.pdf for more details.) To address this, we add two hooks: - __ticket_spin_lock which is called after the cpu has been spinning on the lock for a significant number of iterations but has failed to take the lock (presumably because the cpu holding the lock has been descheduled). The lock_spinning pvop is expected to block the cpu until it has been kicked by the current lock holder. - __ticket_spin_unlock, which on releasing a contended lock (there are more cpus with tail tickets), it looks to see if the next cpu is blocked and wakes it if so. When compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS disabled, a set of stub functions causes all the extra code to go away.

Obviously these functions have to be visible, otherwise the whole kernel could be optimized away. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1375740170-7446-5-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.orgSigned-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>

These handlers are all referenced from assembler stubs, so need to be visible. The handlers without arguments become asmlinkage, the others __visible to not force regparms(0) on x86-32. I put it all into a single patch, please let me know if you want it it split up.

Make the sys_call_table type defined in asm/syscall.h match the definition in syscall_64.c v2: include asm/syscall.h in syscall_64.c too. I left uml alone because it doesn't have an syscall.h on its own and including the native one leads to other errors.

We try to handle the hypervisor compatibility mode by detecting hypervisor through a specific order. This is not robust, since hypervisors may implement each others features. This patch tries to handle this situation by always choosing the last one in the CPUID leaves. This is done by letting .detect() return a priority instead of true/false and just re-using the CPUID leaf where the signature were found as the priority (or 1 if it was found by DMI). Then we can just pick hypervisor who has the highest priority. Other sophisticated detection method could also be implemented on top. Suggested by H. Peter Anvin and Paolo Bonzini. Acked-by: NK. Y.

John McCalpin reports that the "drs_data" and "ncb_data" QPI uncore events are missing the "extra bit" and always return zero values unless the bit is properly set. More details from him: According to the Xeon E5-2600 Product Family Uncore Performance Monitoring Guide, Table 2-94, about 1/2 of the QPI Link Layer events (including the ones that "perf" calls "drs_data" and "ncb_data") require that the "extra bit" be set. This was confusing for a while -- a note at the bottom of page 94 says that the "extra bit" is bit 16 of the control register. Unfortunately, Table 2-86 clearly says that bit 16 is reserved and must be zero. Looking around a bit, I found that bit 21 appears to be the correct "extra bit", and further investigation shows that "perf" actually agrees with me: [root@c560-003.stampede]# cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore_qpi_0/format/event config:0-7,21 So the command # perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=drs_data/" Is the same as # perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x02,umask=0x08/" While it should be # perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x102,umask=0x08/" I confirmed that this last version gives results that agree with the amount of data that I expected the STREAM benchmark to move across the QPI link in the second (cross-chip) test of the original script.

The EFI FB quirks from efifb.c are useful for simple-framebuffer devices as well. Apply them by default so we can convert efifb.c to use efi-framebuffer platform devices.

The current situation regarding boot-framebuffers (VGA, VESA/VBE, EFI) on x86 causes troubles when loading multiple fbdev drivers. The global "struct screen_info" does not provide any state-tracking about which drivers use the FBs. request_mem_region() theoretically works, but unfortunately vesafb/efifb ignore it due to quirks for broken boards. Avoid this by creating a platform framebuffer devices with a pointer to the "struct screen_info" as platform-data. Drivers can now create platform-drivers and the driver-core will refuse multiple drivers being active simultaneously. We keep the screen_info available for backwards-compatibility. Drivers can be converted in follow-up patches. Different devices are created for VGA/VESA/EFI FBs to allow multiple drivers to be loaded on distro kernels. We create: - "vesa-framebuffer" for VBE/VESA graphics FBs - "efi-framebuffer" for EFI FBs - "platform-framebuffer" for everything else This allows to load vesafb, efifb and others simultaneously and each picks up only the supported FB types. Apart from platform-framebuffer devices, this also introduces a compatibility option for "simple-framebuffer" drivers which recently got introduced for OF based systems. If CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is selected, we try to match the screen_info against a simple-framebuffer supported format. If we succeed, we create a "simple-framebuffer" device instead of a platform-framebuffer. This allows to reuse the simplefb.c driver across architectures and also to introduce a SimpleDRM driver. There is no need to have vesafb.c, efifb.c, simplefb.c and more just to have architecture specific quirks in their setup-routines. Instead, we now move the architecture specific quirks into x86-setup and provide a generic simple-framebuffer. For backwards-compatibility (if strange formats are used), we still allow vesafb/efifb to be loaded simultaneously and pick up all remaining devices.
