      x86/mm/pat: Improve scaling of pat_pagerange_is_ram() · fa83523f
      John Dykstra 提交于
      Function pat_pagerange_is_ram() scales poorly to large address
      ranges, because it probes the resource tree for each page.
      
      On a 2.6 GHz Opteron, this function consumes 34 ms for a 1 GB range.
      
      It is called twice during untrack_pfn_vma(), slowing process
      cleanup and handicapping the OOM killer.
      
      This replacement consumes less than 1ms, under the same conditions.

      s390/uaccess: fix access_ok compile warnings · 491af990
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      On s390 access_ok is a macro which discards all parameters and always
      returns 1. This can result in compile warnings which warn about unused
      variables like this:

      fs/read_write.c:684:16: warning: unused variable 'buf' [-Wunused-variable]
      
      Fix this by adding a __range_ok() function which consumes all parameters
      but still always returns 1.

      s390/cmpxchg: fix sign extension bugs · 1896d256
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      For 1 and 2 byte operands for xchg and cmpxchg the old and new values
      get or'ed into the larger 4 byte old value before the compare and swap
      instruction gets executed. This is done without using the proper byte
      mask before or'ing the values.
      If the caller passed in negative old or new values these got sign
      extended by the caller. Which in turn means that either the old value
      never matches, or, even worse, unrelated bytes would be changed in memory.
      
      Luckily there don't seem to be any callers around yet, since that would
      have resulted in the specification exception fixed in an earlies patch.

      s390/cmpxchg: fix 1 and 2 byte memory accesses · bf3db853
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      When accessing a 1 or 2 byte memory operand we cannot use the
      passed address since the compare and swap instruction only works
      for 4 byte aligned memory operands.
      Hence we calculate an aligned address so that compare and swap works
      correctly. However we don't pass the calculated address to the inline
      assembly. This results in incorrect memory accesses and in a
      specification exception if used on non 4 byte aligned memory operands.
      
      Since this didn't happen until now, there don't seem to be
      too many users of cmpxchg on unaligned addresses.

      s390/cmpxchg: fix compile warnings specific to s390 · 6b894a40
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      The cmpxchg macros and functions are a bit different than on other
      architectures. In particular the macros do not store the return
      value of a __cmpxchg function call in a variable before returning the
      value.
      
      This causes compile warnings that only occur on s390 like this one:
      
      net/ipv4/af_inet.c: In function 'build_ehash_secret':
      net/ipv4/af_inet.c:241:2: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value]
      
      To get rid of these warnings use the same construct that we already use
      for the xchg macro, which was introduced for the same reason.

      s390/cpu: remove cpu "capabilities" sysfs attribute · b9e3f776
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      It has been a big mistage to add the capabilities attribute to the
      cpus in sysfs:
      First the attribute only contains the cpu capability of primary cpus,
      which however is not necessarily (or better: unlikely) the type of
      cpu the kernel runs on, which is typically an IFL.
      In addition all information that is necessary is available in
      /proc/sysinfo already. So this attribute partially duplicated
      informations.
      So programs should look into the sysinfo file to retrieve all
      informations they are interested in.
      
      Since with this kernel release also the powersavings cpu attributes
      are removed this seems to be a good opportunity to remove another
      broken interface.

      s390/kernel: Fix smp_call_ipl_cpu() for offline CPUs · 061da3df
      Michael Holzheu 提交于
      If the IPL CPU is offline, currently the pcpu_delegate() function
      used by smp_call_ipl_cpu() does not work because pcpu_delegate()
      modifies the lowcore of the target CPU. In case of an offline
      IPL CPU currently the prefix register is zero but pcpu->lowcore
      still points to the old prefix page. Therefore the lowcore changes
      done by pcpu_delegate() have no effect.
      
      With this fix pcpu_delegate() now uses memcpy_absolute() and therefore
      also prepares the absolute zero lowcore if the target CPU has prefix
      register zero.

      This should be a longstanding bug affecting x86 32bit PAE without THP.
      Only archs with 64bit large pmd_t and 32bit unsigned long should be
      affected.
      
      With THP enabled the barrier() in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad()
      would partly hide the bug when the pmd transition from none to stable,
      by forcing a re-read of the *pmd in pmd_offset_map_lock, but when THP is
      enabled a new set of problem arises by the fact could then transition
      freely in any of the none, pmd_trans_huge or pmd_trans_stable states.
      So making the barrier in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad()
      unconditional isn't good idea and it would be a flakey solution.
      
      This should be fully fixed by introducing a pmd_read_atomic that reads
      the pmd in order with THP disabled, or by reading the pmd atomically
      with cmpxchg8b with THP enabled.
      
      Luckily this new race condition only triggers in the places that must
      already be covered by pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() so the fix
      is localized there but this bug is not related to THP.
      
      NOTE: this can trigger on x86 32bit systems with PAE enabled with more
      than 4G of ram, otherwise the high part of the pmd will never risk to be
      truncated because it would be zero at all times, in turn so hiding the
      SMP race.

      Please note that the PMD is not read atomically. These are two "mov"
      instructions where the high order bits of the PMD entry are fetched
      first. Hence, the above machine code is prone to the following race.
      
      -  The PMD entry {high|low} is 0x0000000000000000.
         The "mov" at 0xc0507a84 loads 0x00000000 into edx.
      
      -  A page fault (on another CPU) sneaks in between the two "mov"
         instructions and instantiates the PMD.
      
      -  The PMD entry {high|low} is now 0x00000003fda38067.
         The "mov" at 0xc0507a8e loads 0xfda38067 into eax.
