      x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K · 6538b8ea
      由 Minchan Kim 提交于 
      While I play inhouse patches with much memory pressure on qemu-kvm,
3.14 kernel was randomly crashed. The reason was kernel stack overflow.

When I investigated the problem, the callstack was a little bit deeper
by involve with reclaim functions but not direct reclaim path.

I tried to diet stack size of some functions related with alloc/reclaim
so did a hundred of byte but overflow was't disappeard so that I encounter
overflow by another deeper callstack on reclaim/allocator path.

Of course, we might sweep every sites we have found for reducing
stack usage but I'm not sure how long it saves the world(surely,
lots of developer start to add nice features which will use stack
agains) and if we consider another more complex feature in I/O layer
and/or reclaim path, it might be better to increase stack size(
meanwhile, stack usage on 64bit machine was doubled compared to 32bit
while it have sticked to 8K. Hmm, it's not a fair to me and arm64
already expaned to 16K. )

So, my stupid idea is just let's expand stack size and keep an eye
toward stack consumption on each kernel functions via stacktrace of ftrace.
For example, we can have a bar like that each funcion shouldn't exceed 200K
and emit the warning when some function consumes more in runtime.
Of course, it could make false positive but at least, it could make a
chance to think over it.

I guess this topic was discussed several time so there might be
strong reason not to increase kernel stack size on x86_64, for me not
knowing so Ccing x86_64 maintainers, other MM guys and virtio
maintainers.

Here's an example call trace using up the kernel stack:

[ Note: the problem is exacerbated by certain gcc versions that seem to
  generate much bigger stack frames due to apparently bad coalescing of
  temporaries and generating too many spills.  Rusty saw gcc-4.6.4 using
  35% more stack on the virtio path than 4.8.2 does, for example.

  Minchan not only uses such a bad gcc version (4.6.3 in his case), but
  some of the stack use is due to debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is
  what causes that kernel_map_pages() frame, for example). But we're
  clearly getting too close.

  The VM code also seems to have excessive stack frames partly for the
  same compiler reason, triggered by excessive inlining and lots of
  function arguments.

  We need to improve on our stack use, but in the meantime let's do this
  simple stack increase too.  Unlike most earlier reports, there is
  nothing simple that stands out as being really horribly wrong here,
  apart from the fact that the stack frames are just bigger than they
  should need to be.        - Linus ]

      net: filter: x86: internal BPF JIT · 62258278
      由 Alexei Starovoitov 提交于 
      Maps all internal BPF instructions into x86_64 instructions.
This patch replaces original BPF x64 JIT with internal BPF x64 JIT.
sysctl net.core.bpf_jit_enable is reused as on/off switch.

Performance:

1. old BPF JIT and internal BPF JIT generate equivalent x86_64 code.
  No performance difference is observed for filters that were JIT-able before

Example assembler code for BPF filter "tcpdump port 22"

original BPF -> old JIT:            original BPF -> internal BPF -> new JIT:

On fully cached SKBs both JITed functions take 12 nsec to execute.
BPF interpreter executes the program in 30 nsec.

The difference in generated assembler is due to the following:

Old BPF imlements LDX_MSH instruction via sk_load_byte_msh() helper function
inside bpf_jit.S.
New JIT removes the helper and does it explicitly, so ldx_msh cost
is the same for both JITs, but generated code looks longer.

New JIT has 4 registers to save, so prologue/epilogue are larger,
but the cost is within noise on x64.

Old JIT checks whether first insn clears A and if not emits 'xor %eax,%eax'.
New JIT clears %rax unconditionally.

2. old BPF JIT doesn't support ANC_NLATTR, ANC_PAY_OFFSET, ANC_RANDOM
  extensions. New JIT supports all BPF extensions.
  Performance of such filters improves 2-4 times depending on a filter.
  The longer the filter the higher performance gain.
  Synthetic benchmarks with many ancillary loads see 20x speedup
  which seems to be the maximum gain from JIT

Notes:

. net.core.bpf_jit_enable=2 + tools/net/bpf_jit_disasm is still functional
  and can be used to see generated assembler

. there are two jit_compile() functions and code flow for classic filters is:
  sk_attach_filter() - load classic BPF
  bpf_jit_compile() - try to JIT from classic BPF
  sk_convert_filter() - convert classic to internal
  bpf_int_jit_compile() - JIT from internal BPF

  seccomp and tracing filters will just call bpf_int_jit_compile()

run old 16-bit Windows programs on Linux.

A proper fix for this ("espfix64") is coming in the upcoming merge
window, but as a temporary fix, create a sysctl to allow the
administrator to re-enable support for 16-bit segments.

It adds a "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" sysctl that defaults to zero (off). If
you hit this issue and care about your old Windows program more than
you care about a kernel stack address information leak, you can do

   echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16

as root (add it to your startup scripts), and you should be ok.

The sysctl table is only added if you have COMPAT support enabled on
x86-64, but I assume anybody who runs old windows binaries very much
does that ;)

      x86/efi: earlyprintk=efi,keep fix · 5f35eb0e
      由 Dave Young 提交于 
      earlyprintk=efi,keep will cause kernel hangs while freeing initmem like
below:

  VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 254:2.
  devtmpfs: mounted
  Freeing unused kernel memory: 880K (ffffffff817d4000 - ffffffff818b0000)

It is caused by efi earlyprintk use __init function which will be freed
later.  Such as early_efi_write is marked as __init, also it will use
early_ioremap which is init function as well.

To fix this issue, I added early initcall early_efi_map_fb which maps
the whole efi fb for later use. OTOH, adding a wrapper function
early_efi_map which calls early_ioremap before ioremap is available.

With this patch applied efi boot ok with earlyprintk=efi,keep console=efi

      genirq: x86: Ensure that dynamic irq allocation does not conflict · 62a08ae2
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which
are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those
interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation
like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of
the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for
that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a
completely different configuration so hell breaks lose.

Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs,
except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face
for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the
GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose
such a detail to a driver.

To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement
to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations.

Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is
the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations
happen above.

That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects
the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and
htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate
issue.

      KVM: x86: Check for host supported fields in shadow vmcs · fe2b201b
      由 Bandan Das 提交于 
      We track shadow vmcs fields through two static lists,
one for read only and another for r/w fields. However, with
addition of new vmcs fields, not all fields may be supported on
all hosts. If so, copy_vmcs12_to_shadow() trying to vmwrite on
unsupported hosts will result in a vmwrite error. For example, commit
36be0b9d introduced GUEST_BNDCFGS, which is not supported
by all processors. Filter out host unsupported fields before
letting guests use shadow vmcs

      x86/vsmp: Fix irq routing · 39025ba3
      由 Oren Twaig 提交于 
      Correct IRQ routing in case a vSMP box is detected
but the  Interrupt Routing Comply (IRC) value is set to
"comply", which leads to incorrect IRQ routing.

Before the patch:

When a vSMP box was detected and IRC was set to "comply",
users (and the kernel) couldn't effectively set the
destination of the IRQs. This is because the hook inside
vsmp_64.c always setup all CPUs as the IRQ destination using
cpumask_setall() as the return value for IRQ allocation mask.
Later, this "overrided" mask caused the kernel to set the IRQ
destination to the lowest online CPU in the mask (CPU0 usually).

After the patch:

When the IRC is set to "comply", users (and the kernel) can control
the destination of the IRQs as we will not be changing the
default "apic->vector_allocation_domain".

      kprobes/x86: Fix page-fault handling logic · 6381c24c
      由 Masami Hiramatsu 提交于 
      Current kprobes in-kernel page fault handler doesn't
expect that its single-stepping can be interrupted by
an NMI handler which may cause a page fault(e.g. perf
with callback tracing).

In that case, the page-fault handled by kprobes and it
misunderstands the page-fault has been caused by the
single-stepping code and tries to recover IP address
to probed address.

But the truth is the page-fault has been caused by the
NMI handler, and do_page_fault failes to handle real
page fault because the IP address is modified and
causes Kernel BUGs like below.

 ----
 [ 2264.726905] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
 [ 2264.727190] IP: [<ffffffff813c46e0>] copy_user_generic_string+0x0/0x40

To handle this correctly, I fixed the kprobes fault
handler to ensure the faulted ip address is its own
single-step buffer instead of checking current kprobe
state.

      x86/mce: Fix CMCI preemption bugs · ea431643
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      The following commit:

  27f6c573 ("x86, CMCI: Add proper detection of end of CMCI storms")

Added two preemption bugs:

 - machine_check_poll() does a get_cpu_var() without a matching
   put_cpu_var(), which causes preemption imbalance and crashes upon
   bootup.

 - it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
   disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.

To fix these bugs fix the imbalance and change
cmci_discover_lock to a regular spinlock.

      x86: Remove the PCI reboot method from the default chain · 5be44a6f
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Steve reported a reboot hang and bisected it back to this commit:

  a4f1987e x86, reboot: Add EFI and CF9 reboot methods into the default list

He heroically tested all reboot methods and found the following:

  reboot=t       # triple fault                  ok
  reboot=k       # keyboard ctrl                 FAIL
  reboot=b       # BIOS                          ok
  reboot=a       # ACPI                          FAIL
  reboot=e       # EFI                           FAIL   [system has no EFI]
  reboot=p       # PCI 0xcf9                     FAIL

And I think it's pretty obvious that we should only try PCI 0xcf9 as a
last resort - if at all.

The other observation is that (on this box) we should never try
the PCI reboot method, but close with either the 'triple fault'
or the 'BIOS' (terminal!) reboot methods.

Thirdly, CF9_COND is a total misnomer - it should be something like
CF9_SAFE or CF9_CAREFUL, and 'CF9' should be 'CF9_FORCE' ...

So this patch fixes the worst problems:

 - it orders the actual reboot logic to follow the reboot ordering
   pattern - it was in a pretty random order before for no good
   reason.

 - it fixes the CF9 misnomers and uses BOOT_CF9_FORCE and
   BOOT_CF9_SAFE flags to make the code more obvious.

 - it tries the BIOS reboot method before the PCI reboot method.
   (Since 'BIOS' is a terminal reboot method resulting in a hang
    if it does not work, this is essentially equivalent to removing
    the PCI reboot method from the default reboot chain.)

 - just for the miraculous possibility of terminal (resulting
   in hang) reboot methods of triple fault or BIOS returning
   without having done their job, there's an ordering between
   them as well.

      xen/spinlock: Don't enable them unconditionally. · e0fc17a9
      由 Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于 
      The git commit a945928e
('xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init() has executed')
was added to deal with the jump machinery. Earlier the code
that turned on the jump label was only called by Xen specific
functions. But now that it had been moved to the initcall machinery
it gets called on Xen, KVM, and baremetal - ouch!. And the detection
machinery to only call it on Xen wasn't remembered in the heat
of merge window excitement.

This means that the slowpath is enabled on baremetal while it should
not be.
