kexec-tools use boot_params for getting the 1st kernel hardware_subarch, the kexec kernel EFI runtime support also needs to read the old efi_info from boot_params. Currently it exists in debugfs which is not a good place for such infomation. Per HPA, we should avoid "sploit debugfs". In this patch /sys/kernel/boot_params are exported, also the setup_data is exported as a subdirectory. kexec-tools is using debugfs for hardware_subarch for a long time now so we're not removing it yet. Structure is like below: /sys/kernel/boot_params |__ data /* boot_params in binary*/ |__ setup_data | |__ 0 /* the first setup_data node */ | | |__ data /* setup_data node 0 in binary*/ | | |__ type /* setup_data type of setup_data node 0, hex string */ [snip] |__ version /* boot protocal version (in hex, "0x" prefixed)*/ Signed-off-by: NDave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Acked-by: NBorislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Tested-by: NToshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

Old kexec-tools can not load new kernels. The reason is kexec-tools does not fill efi_info in x86 setup header previously, thus EFI failed to initialize. In new kexec-tools it will by default to fill efi_info and pass other EFI required infomation to 2nd kernel so kexec kernel EFI initialization can succeed finally. To prevent from breaking userspace, add a new xloadflags bit so kexec-tools can check the flag and switch to old logic.

Add a new setup_data type SETUP_EFI for kexec use. Passing the saved fw_vendor, runtime, config tables and EFI runtime mappings. When entering virtual mode, directly mapping the EFI runtime regions which we passed in previously. And skip the step to call SetVirtualAddressMap(). Specially for HP z420 workstation we need save the smbios physical address. The kernel boot sequence proceeds in the following order. Step 2 requires efi.smbios to be the physical address. However, I found that on HP z420 EFI system table has a virtual address of SMBIOS in step 1. Hence, we need set it back to the physical address with the smbios in efi_setup_data. (When it is still the physical address, it simply sets the same value.) 1. efi_init() - Set efi.smbios from EFI system table 2. dmi_scan_machine() - Temporary map efi.smbios to access SMBIOS table 3. efi_enter_virtual_mode() - Map EFI ranges Tested on ovmf+qemu, lenovo thinkpad, a dell laptop and an HP z420 workstation.

arch/um/defconfig only lists one default configuration, and that applies only to the i386 architecture. Replace it with two minimal configuration files generated using `make savedefconfig`: i386_defconfig and x86_64_defconfig The build scripts now require two updates: 1. um's Kconfig (arch/x86/um/Kconfig) should specify an ARCH_DEFCONFIG section explicitly pointing to these scripts if the required variables are set. Take care to remove the DEFCONFIG_LIST section defined in the included file arch/um/Kconfig.common. 2. um's Makefile (arch/um/Makefile) should set KBUILD_DEFCONFIG properly for the top-level Makefile to pick up. Copy the logic in arch/x86/Makefile to properly pick the defconfig file depending on the actual architecture; except we're working with $SUBARCH here, instead of $ARCH. Now, you can do: $ ARCH=um make defconfig $ ARCH=um make and successfully build User-Mode Linux on an x86_64 box in default configuration.

If split page table lock is in use, we embed the lock into struct page of table's page. We have to disable split lock, if spinlock_t is too big be to be embedded, like when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC enabled. This patch add support for dynamic allocation of split page table lock if we can't embed it to struct page. page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t. The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table. All other helpers converted to support dynamically allocated page->ptl.

In split page table lock case, we embed spinlock_t into struct page. For obvious reason, we don't want to increase size of struct page if spinlock_t is too big, like with DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC or on -rt kernel. So we disable split page table lock, if spinlock_t is too big. This patchset allows to allocate the lock dynamically if spinlock_t is big. In this page->ptl is used to store pointer to spinlock instead of spinlock itself. It costs additional cache line for indirect access, but fix page fault scalability for multi-threaded applications. LOCK_STAT depends on DEBUG_SPINLOCK, so on current kernel enabling LOCK_STAT to analyse scalability issues breaks scalability. ;) The patchset mostly fixes this. Results for ./thp_memscale -c 80 -b 512M on 4-socket machine: baseline, no CONFIG_LOCK_STAT: 9.115460703 seconds time elapsed baseline, CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y: 53.890567123 seconds time elapsed patched, no CONFIG_LOCK_STAT: 8.852250368 seconds time elapsed patched, CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y: 11.069770759 seconds time elapsed Patch count is scary, but most of them trivial. Overview: Patches 1-4 Few bug fixes. No dependencies to other patches. Probably should applied as soon as possible. Patch 5 Changes signature of pgtable_page_ctor(). We will use it for dynamic lock allocation, so it can fail. Patches 6-8 Add missing constructor/destructor calls on few archs. It's fixes NR_PAGETABLE accounting and prepare to use split ptl. Patches 9-33 Add pgtable_page_ctor() fail handling to all archs. Patches 34 Finally adds support of dynamically-allocated page->pte. Also contains documentation for split page table lock. This patch (of 34): I've missed that we preallocate few pmds on pgd_alloc() if X86_PAE enabled. Let's add missed constructor/destructor calls. I haven't noticed it during testing since prep_new_page() clears page->mapping and therefore page->ptl. It's effectively equal to spin_lock_init(&page->ptl). Signed-off-by: NKirill A.

Modify struct acpi_dev_node to contain a pointer to struct acpi_device associated with the given device object (that is, its ACPI companion device) instead of an ACPI handle corresponding to it. Introduce two new macros for manipulating that pointer in a CONFIG_ACPI-safe way, ACPI_COMPANION() and ACPI_COMPANION_SET(), and rework the ACPI_HANDLE() macro to take the above changes into account. Drop the ACPI_HANDLE_SET() macro entirely and rework its users to use ACPI_COMPANION_SET() instead. For some of them who used to pass the result of acpi_get_child() directly to ACPI_HANDLE_SET() introduce a helper routine acpi_preset_companion() doing an equivalent thing. The main motivation for doing this is that there are things represented by struct acpi_device objects that don't have valid ACPI handles (so called fixed ACPI hardware features, such as power and sleep buttons) and we would like to create platform device objects for them and "glue" them to their ACPI companions in the usual way (which currently is impossible due to the lack of valid ACPI handles). However, there are more reasons why it may be useful. First, struct acpi_device pointers allow of much better type checking than void pointers which are ACPI handles, so it should be more difficult to write buggy code using modified struct acpi_dev_node and the new macros. Second, the change should help to reduce (over time) the number of places in which the result of ACPI_HANDLE() is passed to acpi_bus_get_device() in order to obtain a pointer to the struct acpi_device associated with the given "physical" device, because now that pointer is returned by ACPI_COMPANION() directly. Finally, the change should make it easier to write generic code that will build both for CONFIG_ACPI set and unset without adding explicit compiler directives to it. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

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.

When SRAT is parsed, we will be able to know which memory is hotpluggable, and we can avoid allocating this memory for the kernel. So reorder reserve_crashkernel() after SRAT is parsed.

The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result, kernel pages cannot be hot-removed. So we cannot allocate hotpluggable memory for the kernel. In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be unhotpluggable. And for a modern server, each node could have at least 16GB memory. So memory around the kernel image is highly likely unhotpluggable. ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug info. But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate memory for the kernel. So we need to prevent memblock from doing this. So direct memory mapping page tables setup is the case. init_mem_mapping() is called before SRAT is parsed. To prevent page tables being allocated within hotpluggable memory, we will use bottom-up direction to allocate page tables from the end of kernel image to the higher memory. Note: As for allocating page tables in lower memory, TJ said: : This is an optional behavior which is triggered by a very specific kernel : boot param, which I suspect is gonna need to stick around to support : memory hotplug in the current setup unless we add another layer of address : translation to support memory hotplug. As for page tables may occupy too much lower memory if using 4K mapping (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and CONFIG_KMEMCHECK both disable using >4k pages), TJ said: : But as I said in the same paragraph, parsing SRAT earlier doesn't solve : the problem in itself either. Ignoring the option if 4k mapping is : required and memory consumption would be prohibitive should work, no? : Something like that would be necessary if we're gonna worry about cases : like this no matter how we implement it, but, frankly, I'm not sure this : is something worth worrying about.

Create a new function memory_map_top_down to factor out of the top-down direct memory mapping pagetable setup. This is also a preparation for the following patch, which will introduce the bottom-up memory mapping. That said, we will put the two ways of pagetable setup into separate functions, and choose to use which way in init_mem_mapping, which makes the code more clear.

Support the next generation Intel Atom processor mirco-architecture, formerly called Silvermont. The server version, formerly called "Avoton", is named the "Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor C2000 Product Family". The client version, formerly called "Bay Trail", is named the "Intel Atom Processor Z3000 Series", as well as various "Intel Pentium Processor" and "Intel Celeron Processor" brands, depending on form-factor. Silvermont has a set of MSRs not far off from NHM, but the RAPL register set is a sub-set of those previously supported. Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

Do it the same way as done in microcode_intel.c: use pr_debug() for missing firmware files.

Consider a kernel crash in a module, simulated the following way: static int my_init(void) { char *map = (void *)0x5; *map = 3; return 0; } module_init(my_init); When we turn off FRAME_POINTERs, the very first instruction in that function causes a BUG. The problem is that we print IP in the BUG report using %pB (from printk_address). And %pB decrements the pointer by one to fix printing addresses of functions with tail calls. This was added in commit 71f9e598 ("x86, dumpstack: Use %pB format specifier for stack trace") to fix the call stack printouts. So instead of correct output: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005 IP: [<ffffffffa01ac000>] my_init+0x0/0x10 [pb173] We get: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005 IP: [<ffffffffa0152000>] 0xffffffffa0151fff To fix that, we use %pS only for stack addresses printouts (via newly added printk_stack_address) and %pB for regs->ip (via printk_address). I.e. we revert to the old behaviour for all except call stacks. And since from all those reliable is 1, we remove that parameter from printk_address.

This reverts commit 8eba1842. uv_trace() is not used by anything, nor is uv_trace_nmi_func, nor uv_trace_func. That's not how we do instrumentation code in the kernel: we add tracepoints, printk()s, etc. so that everyone not just those with magic kernel modules can debug a system. So remove this unused (and misguied) piece of code.
