This patch introduces a new sysctl: /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi which defaults to 0 (off). When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI caused by an IO error. The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice, so one can figure out what's causing the IO error. This could be especially important to companies running IO intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a bank's databases.

The init_gbpages() function is conditionally called from init_memory_mapping() function. There are two call-sites where this 'after_bootmem' condition can be true: setup_arch() and mem_init() via pci_iommu_alloc(). Therefore, it's safe to move the call to init_gbpages() to setup_arch() as it's always called before mem_init(). This removes an after_bootmem use - paving the way to remove all uses of that state variable.

According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than PTE TLB. The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more data. This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing. While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also, kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized quite some time ago.

lpage allocator aliases a PMD page for each cpu and returns whatever is unused to the page allocator. When the pageattr of the recycled pages are changed, this makes the two aliases point to the overlapping regions with different attributes which isn't allowed and known to cause subtle data corruption in certain cases. This can be handled in simliar manner to the x86_64 highmap alias. pageattr code should detect if the target pages have PMD alias and split the PMD alias and synchronize the attributes. pcpur allocator is updated to keep the allocated PMD pages map sorted in ascending address order and provide pcpu_lpage_remapped() function which binary searches the array to determine whether the given address is aliased and if so to which address. pageattr is updated to use pcpu_lpage_remapped() to detect the PMD alias and split it up as necessary from cpa_process_alias(). Jan Beulich spotted the original problem and incorrect usage of vaddr instead of laddr for lookup. With this, lpage percpu allocator should work correctly. Re-enable it.

This counts when building sched domains in case NUMA information is not available. ( See cpu_coregroup_mask() which uses llc_shared_map which in turn is created based on cpu_llc_id. ) Currently Linux builds domains as follows: (example from a dual socket quad-core system) CPU0 attaching sched-domain: domain 0: span 0-7 level CPU groups: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ... CPU7 attaching sched-domain: domain 0: span 0-7 level CPU groups: 7 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Ever since that is borked for multi-core AMD CPU systems. This patch fixes that and now we get a proper: CPU0 attaching sched-domain: domain 0: span 0-3 level MC groups: 0 1 2 3 domain 1: span 0-7 level CPU groups: 0-3 4-7 ... CPU7 attaching sched-domain: domain 0: span 4-7 level MC groups: 7 4 5 6 domain 1: span 0-7 level CPU groups: 4-7 0-3 This allows scheduler to assign tasks to cores on different sockets (i.e. that don't share last level cache) for performance reasons.

The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see commit 7f818906: "x86: don't use 'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy about virtual address checking. So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual addresses: - All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space. - /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more obvious when it transforms a file offset into a (kernel-half) virtual address. - Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX. This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this. So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'. Namely by just checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the rest. That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we didn't, we'd have the address space hole).

It's really not right to use 'access_ok()', since that is meant for the normal "get_user()" and "copy_from/to_user()" accesses, which are done through the TLB, rather than through the page tables. Why? access_ok() does both too few, and too many checks. Too many, because it is meant for regular kernel accesses that will not honor the 'user' bit in the page tables, and because it honors the USER_DS vs KERNEL_DS distinction that we shouldn't care about in GUP. And too few, because it doesn't do the 'canonical' check on the address on x86-64, since the TLB will do that for us. So instead of using a function that isn't meant for this, and does something else and much more complicated, just do the real rules: we don't want the range to overflow, and on x86-64, we want it to be a canonical low address (on 32-bit, all addresses are canonical).

Improve a few details in perfcounter call-chain recording that makes use of fast-GUP: - Use ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the pte value. ptes are fundamentally racy and can be changed on another CPU, so we have to be careful about how we access them. The PAE branch is already careful with read-barriers - but the non-PAE and 64-bit side needs an ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure the pte value is observed only once. - make the checks a bit stricter so that we can feed it any kind of cra^H^H^H user-space input ;-) Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return from function code, we would like to detect that. An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for this purpose. This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit. There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes. This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was. This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate the new prototype. Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace. This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be used instead. This patch does not touch that code.
