      vfs: make word-at-a-time accesses handle a non-existing page · e419b4cc
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It turns out that there are more cases than CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that
      can have holes in the kernel address space: it seems to happen easily
      with Xen, and it looks like the AMD gart64 code will also punch holes
      dynamically.
      
      Actually hitting that case is still very unlikely, so just do the
      access, and take an exception and fix it up for the very unlikely case
      of it being a page-crosser with no next page.
      
      And hey, this abstraction might even help other architectures that have
      other issues with unaligned word accesses than the possible missing next
      page.  IOW, this could do the byte order magic too.
      
      Peter Anvin fixed a thinko in the shifting for the exception case.

      x86/amd: Re-enable CPU topology extensions in case BIOS has disabled it · f7f286a9
      Andreas Herrmann 提交于
      BIOS will switch off the corresponding feature flag on family
      15h models 10h-1fh non-desktop CPUs.
      
      The topology extension CPUID leafs are required to detect which
      cores belong to the same compute unit. (thread siblings mask is
      set accordingly and also correct information about L1i and L2
      cache sharing depends on this).
      
      W/o this patch we wouldn't see which cores belong to the same
      compute unit and also cache sharing information for L1i and L2
      would be incorrect on such systems.

      xen/enlighten: Disable MWAIT_LEAF so that acpi-pad won't be loaded. · df88b2d9
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于
      There are exactly four users of __monitor and __mwait:
      
       - cstate.c (which allows acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_enter to be called
         when the cpuidle API drivers are used. However patch
         "cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle"
         provides a mechanism to disable the cpuidle and use safe_halt.
       - smpboot (which allows mwait_play_dead to be called). However
         safe_halt is always used so we skip that.
       - intel_idle (same deal as above).
       - acpi_pad.c. This the one that we do not want to run as we
         will hit the below crash.
      
      Why do we want to expose MWAIT_LEAF in the first place?
      We want it for the xen-acpi-processor driver - which uploads
      C-states to the hypervisor. If MWAIT_LEAF is set, the cstate.c
      sets the proper address in the C-states so that the hypervisor
      can benefit from using the MWAIT functionality. And that is
      the sole reason for using it.
      
      Without this patch, if a module performs mwait or monitor we
      get this:

      x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up · 92ae03f2
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This merges the 32- and 64-bit versions of the x86 strncpy_from_user()
      by just rewriting it in C rather than the ancient inline asm versions
      that used lodsb/stosb and had been duplicated for (trivial) differences
      between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
      
      While doing that, it also speeds them up by doing the accesses a word at
      a time.  Finally, the new routines also properly handle the case of
      hitting the end of the address space, which we have never done correctly
      before (fs/namei.c has a hack around it for that reason).
      
      Despite all these improvements, it actually removes more lines than it
      adds, due to the de-duplication.  Also, we no longer export (or define)
      the legacy __strncpy_from_user() function (that was defined to not do
      the user permission checks), since it's not actually used anywhere, and
      the user address space checks are built in to the new code.
      
      Other architecture maintainers have been notified that the old hack in
      fs/namei.c will be going away in the 3.5 merge window, in case they
      copied the x86 approach of being a bit cavalier about the end of the
      address space.
