It turns out that there's a lurking ABI issue. GCC, when compiling this in a 32-bit program: struct user_desc desc = { .entry_number = idx, .base_addr = base, .limit = 0xfffff, .seg_32bit = 1, .contents = 0, /* Data, grow-up */ .read_exec_only = 0, .limit_in_pages = 1, .seg_not_present = 0, .useable = 0, }; will leave .lm uninitialized. This means that anything in the kernel that reads user_desc.lm for 32-bit tasks is unreliable. Revert the .lm check in set_thread_area(). The value never did anything in the first place.

Add support of Hardware Managed Performance States (HWP) described in Volume 3 section 14.4 of the SDM. With HWP enbaled intel_pstate will no longer be responsible for selecting P states for the processor. intel_pstate will continue to register to the cpufreq core as the scaling driver for CPUs implementing HWP. In HWP mode intel_pstate provides three functions reporting frequency to the cpufreq core, support for the set_policy() interface from the core and maintaining the intel_pstate sysfs interface in /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate. User preferences expressed via the set_policy() interface or the sysfs interface are forwared to the CPU via the HWP MSR interface.

Specially for HP z420 workstation we need save the smbios physical address. The kernel boot sequence proceeds in the following order. Step 2 requires efi.smbios to be the physical address. However, I found that on HP z420 EFI system table has a virtual address of SMBIOS in step 1. Hence, we need set it back to the physical address with the smbios in efi_setup_data. (When it is still the physical address, it simply sets the same value.) 1. efi_init() - Set efi.smbios from EFI system table 2. dmi_scan_machine() - Temporary map efi.smbios to access SMBIOS table 3. efi_enter_virtual_mode() - Map EFI ranges Tested on ovmf+qemu, lenovo thinkpad, a dell laptop and an HP z420 workstation.

If we let L1 use EPT, we should probably also support the INVEPT instruction. In our current nested EPT implementation, when L1 changes its EPT table for L2 (i.e., EPT12), L0 modifies the shadow EPT table (EPT02), and in the course of this modification already calls INVEPT. But if last level of shadow page is unsync not all L1's changes to EPT12 are intercepted, which means roots need to be synced when L1 calls INVEPT. Global INVEPT should not be different since roots are synced by kvm_mmu_load() each time EPTP02 changes.

由 Andi Kleen 提交于
Recent Intel CPUs like Haswell and IvyBridge have a new alternative MSR range for perfctrs that allows writing the full counter width. Enable this range if the hardware reports it using a new capability bit. Currently the perf code queries CPUID to get the counter width, and sign extends the counter values as needed. The traditional PERFCTR MSRs always limit to 32bit, even though the counter internally is larger (usually 48 bits on recent CPUs) When the new capability is set use the alternative range which do not have these restrictions. This lowers the overhead of perf stat slightly because it has to do less interrupts to accumulate the counter value. On Haswell it also avoids some problems with TSX aborting when the end of the counter range is reached. ( See the patch "perf/x86/intel: Avoid checkpointed counters causing excessive TSX aborts" for more details. ) Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1372173153-20215-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.orgSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

由 Matthew Garrett 提交于
This patch reworks the UEFI anti-bricking code, including an effective reversion of cc5a080c and 31ff2f20. It turns out that calling QueryVariableInfo() from boot services results in some firmware implementations jumping to physical addresses even after entering virtual mode, so until we have 1:1 mappings for UEFI runtime space this isn't going to work so well. Reverting these gets us back to the situation where we'd refuse to create variables on some systems because they classify deleted variables as "used" until the firmware triggers a garbage collection run, which they won't do until they reach a lower threshold. This results in it being impossible to install a bootloader, which is unhelpful. Feedback from Samsung indicates that the firmware doesn't need more than 5KB of storage space for its own purposes, so that seems like a reasonable threshold. However, there's still no guarantee that a platform will attempt garbage collection merely because it drops below this threshold. It seems that this is often only triggered if an attempt to write generates a genuine EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error. We can force that by attempting to create a variable larger than the remaining space. This should fail, but if it somehow succeeds we can then immediately delete it. I've tested this on the UEFI machines I have available, but I don't have a Samsung and so can't verify that it avoids the bricking problem.

We hope to at some point deprecate KVM legacy device assignment in favor of VFIO-based assignment. Towards that end, allow legacy device assignment to be deconfigured.

Add support for AMD Family 15h [and above] northbridge performance counters. MSRs 0xc0010240 ~ 0xc0010247 are shared across all cores that share a common northbridge. Add support for AMD Family 16h L2 performance counters. MSRs 0xc0010230 ~ 0xc0010237 are shared across all cores that share a common L2 cache. We do not enable counter overflow interrupts. Sampling mode and per-thread events are not supported.
