      arm64: fix pud_huge() for 2-level pagetables · 4797ec2d
      Mark Salter 提交于
      The following happens when trying to run a kvm guest on a kernel
      configured for 64k pages. This doesn't happen with 4k pages:
      
        BUG: failure at include/linux/mm.h:297/put_page_testzero()!
        Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!
        CPU: 2 PID: 4228 Comm: qemu-system-aar Tainted: GF            3.13.0-0.rc7.31.sa2.k32v1.aarch64.debug #1

      In arch/arm/kvm/mmu.c:unmap_range(), we end up doing an extra put_page()
      on the stage2 pgd which leads to the BUG in put_page_testzero(). This
      happens because a pud_huge() test in unmap_range() returns true when it
      should always be false with 2-level pages tables used by 64k pages.
      This patch removes support for huge puds if 2-level pagetables are
      being used.

      parisc: Improve LWS-CAS performance · c776cd89
      John David Anglin 提交于
      The attached change significantly improves the performance of the LWS-CAS code
      in syscall.S.
      This allows a number of packages to build (e.g., zeromq3, gtest and libxs)
      that previously failed because slow LWS-CAS performance under contention. In
      particular, interrupts taken while the lock was taken degraded performance
      significantly.
      
      The change does the following:
      
      1) Disables interrupts around the CAS operation, and
      2) Changes the loads and stores to use the ordered completer, "o", on
      PA 2.0. "o" and "ma" with a zero offset are equivalent. The latter is
      accepted on both PA 1.X and 2.0.
      
      The use of ordered loads and stores probably makes no difference on all
      existing hardware, but it seemed pedantically correct. In particular, the CAS
      operation must complete before LDCW lock is released. As written before, a
      processor could reorder the operations.
      
      I don't believe the period interrupts are disabled is long enough to
      significantly increase interrupt latency. For example, the TLB insert code is
      longer. Worst case is a memory fault in the CAS operation.

      Ratelimit printing of userspace segfaults and make it runtime
      configurable via the /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace variable. This
      should resolve syslog from growing way too fast and thus prevents

      x86-64, modify_ldt: Make support for 16-bit segments a runtime option · fa81511b
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Checkin:
      
      b3b42ac2 x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels
      
      disabled 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels due to an information
      leak.  However, it does seem that people are genuinely using Wine to
      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 ;)

      metag: Remove _STK_LIM_MAX override · c70458f5
      James Hogan 提交于
      Meta overrode _STK_LIM_MAX (the default RLIMIT_STACK hard limit) to
      256MB, apparently in an attempt to prevent setup_arg_pages's
      STACK_GROWSUP code from choosing the maximum stack size of 1GB, which is
      far too large for Meta's limited virtual address space and hits a BUG_ON
      (stack_top is usually 0x3ffff000).
      
      However the commit "metag: Reduce maximum stack size to 256MB" reduces
      the absolute stack size limit to a safe value for metag. This allows the
      default _STK_LIM_MAX override to be removed, bringing the default
      behaviour in line with all other architectures. Parisc in particular
      recently removed their override of _STK_LIMT_MAX in commit e0d8898d
      (parisc: remove _STK_LIM_MAX override) since it subtly affects stack
      allocation semantics in userland. Meta's uapi/asm/resource.h can now be
      removed and switch to using generic-y.

      parisc,metag: Do not hardcode maximum userspace stack size · 042d27ac
      Helge Deller 提交于
      This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards
      (currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum
      initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable
      via a config option.
      
      The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two
      memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the
      memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense
      to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used
      as heap then.
      
      This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and
      uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few
      years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

      metag: Reduce maximum stack size to 256MB · d71f290b
      James Hogan 提交于
      Specify the maximum stack size for arches where the stack grows upward
      (parisc and metag) in asm/processor.h rather than hard coding in
      fs/exec.c so that metag can specify a smaller value of 256MB rather than
      1GB.
      
      This fixes a BUG on metag if the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is increased
      beyond a safe value by root. E.g. when starting a process after running
      "ulimit -H -s unlimited" it will then attempt to use a stack size of the
      maximum 1GB which is far too big for metag's limited user virtual
      address space (stack_top is usually 0x3ffff000):

      metag: fix memory barriers · 2425ce84
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      Volatile access doesn't really imply the compiler barrier. Volatile access
      is only ordered with respect to other volatile accesses, it isn't ordered
      with respect to general memory accesses. Gcc may reorder memory accesses
      around volatile access, as we can see in this simple example (if we
      compile it with optimization, both increments of *b will be collapsed to
      just one):
      
      void fn(volatile int *a, long *b)
      {
      	(*b)++;
      	*a = 10;
      	(*b)++;
      }
      
      Consequently, we need the compiler barrier after a write to the volatile
      variable, to make sure that the compiler doesn't reorder the volatile
      write with something else.
