      kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping · d7161a65
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
      if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
      system call.
      
      First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
      it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
      any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
      exception.
      
      On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
      inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
      core.  The arch specific stub should always set the
      kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping.  This
      allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
      happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

      kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier · e545a614
      Manfred Spraul 提交于
      Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
      cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
      Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
      by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
      
      The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
      that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
      
      Tested on x86-64.
      All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
      it right.

      flag parameters: pipe · ed8cae8b
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
      takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value.  This patch implements
      the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag.  I did not add support for the new
      syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation.  I
      think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
      implementation but that's up to them.
      
      The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags.  I did that instead of changing
      all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
      I would probably screw up changing the assembly code.  To avoid breaking code
      do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags.  Once all callers are
      changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.
      
      The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
      x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

      PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures · 27ac792c
      Andrea Righi 提交于
      On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
      boundary. For example:
      
      	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
      
      always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
      
      The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
      example):
      
      #define PAGE_SHIFT      12
      #define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
      #define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
      ...
      #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
      
      The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
      PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
      Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
      typeof(addr) for the mask.
      
      Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
      include/linux/mm.h.

      nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop · b8f8c3cf
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
      problem in the NOHZ code:
      
      	scheduler switch to idle task
      	enable interrupts
      
      Window starts here
      
      	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
      	      	irq_exit() stops the tick
      
      	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
      
      	return from schedule()
      	
      	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
      
      Window ends here
      
      The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
      first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
      rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
      disabled.
      
      The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
      NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
      hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
      
      Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
      that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
      
      cpu_idle()
      {
      	preempt_disable();
      
      	while(1) {
      		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
      		 			          are in the idle loop
      
      		 while (!need_resched())
      		       halt();
      
      		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
      		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
      		 schedule();
      		 preempt_disable();
      	}
      }
      
      In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... 
      
      /me grabs a large brown paperbag.
