The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI instead of IRQ as the way to communicate to the other cpus to shutdown. There were some concerns that various machines may have problems with using an NMI IPI. This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at boot. The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine panics and we learn the hard way. Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file runs a couple of simple tests and reports the results. The output looks like: ... Brought up 4 CPUs ---------------- | NMI testsuite: -------------------- remote IPI: ok | local IPI: ok | -------------------- Good, all 2 testcases passed! | --------------------------------- Total of 4 processors activated (21330.61 BogoMIPS). ...

A recent discussion started talking about the locking on the pstore fs and how it relates to the kmsg infrastructure. We noticed it was possible for userspace to r/w to the pstore fs (grabbing the locks in the process) and block the panic path from r/w to the same fs. The reason was the cpu with the lock could be doing work while the crashing cpu is panic'ing. Busting those spinlocks might cause those cpus to step on each other's data. Fine, fair enough. It was suggested it would be nice to serialize the panic path (ie stop the other cpus) and have only one cpu running. This would allow us to bust the spinlocks and not worry about another cpu stepping on the data. Of course, smp_send_stop() does this in the panic case. kmsg_dump() would have to be moved to be called after it. Easy enough. The only problem is on x86 the smp_send_stop() function calls the REBOOT_VECTOR. Any cpu with irqs disabled (which pstore and its backend ERST would do), block this IPI and thus do not stop. This makes it difficult to reliably log data to the pstore fs. The patch below switches from the REBOOT_VECTOR to NMI (and mimics what kdump does). Switching to NMI allows us to deliver the IPI when irqs are disabled, increasing the reliability of this function. However, Andi carefully noted that on some machines this approach does not work because of broken BIOSes or whatever. To help accomodate this, the next couple of patches will run a selftest and provide a knob to disable.

Currently, messages are just output on the detection of stack overflow, which is not sufficient for systems that need a high reliability. This is because in general the overflow may corrupt data, and the additional corruption may occur due to reading them unless systems stop.

The kernel stack overflow is checked in stack_overflow_check(), which may wrongly detect the overflow if the stack pointer in user space points to the kernel stack intentionally or accidentally. So, the actual overflow is never detected after this misdetection because WARN_ONCE() is used on the detection of it. This patch adds user-mode-vm checking before it to avoid this problem and bails out early if the user stack is used.

People with old AMD chips are getting hung boots, because commit bcb80e53 ("x86, microcode, AMD: Add microcode revision to /proc/cpuinfo") moved the microcode detection too early into "early_init_amd()". At that point we are *so* early in the booth that the exception tables haven't even been set up yet, so the whole rdmsr_safe(MSR_AMD64_PATCH_LEVEL, &c->microcode, &dummy); doesn't actually work: if the rdmsr does a GP fault (due to non-existant MSR register on older CPU's), we can't fix it up yet, and the boot fails. Fix it by simply moving the code to a slightly later point in the boot (init_amd() instead of early_init_amd()), since the kernel itself doesn't even really care about the microcode patchlevel at this point (or really ever: it's made available to user space in /proc/cpuinfo, and updated if you do a microcode load).

The idea behind commit d91ee586 ("cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle") was to have one call - disable_cpuidle() which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code. It disallows cpuidle_idle_call to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent). But in the select_idle_routine() and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still be set to either: amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle. This depends on some CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU. In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor (Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get: Brought up 2 CPUs invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 #1 RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81015d1d>] [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4 ... Call Trace: [<ffffffff8100e2ed>] cpu_idle+0xae/0xe8 [<ffffffff8149ee78>] cpu_bringup_and_idle+0xe/0x10 RIP [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4 RSP <ffff8801d28ddf10> In the case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but we do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor, and then follow it up with a yield hypercall. Meaning we end up going to hypervisor twice instead of just once. The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set to default_idle regardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup. We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen. This patch does that.

Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and prevents the recursion.

Arjan would like to make struct file_operations const, but mce-inject directly writes to the mce_chrdev_ops to install its write handler. In an ideal world mce-inject would have its own character device, but we have a sizable legacy of test scripts that hardwire "/dev/mcelog", so it would be painful to switch to a separate device now. Instead, this patch switches to a stub function in the mce code, with a registration helper that mce-inject can call when it is loaded. Note that this would also allow for a sane process to allow mce-inject to be unloaded again (with an unregister function, and appropriate module_{get,put}() calls), but that is left for potential future patches.

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a double copy of the message via shared memory. The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory directly from the source process into its own address space via a system call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current process's address space into a destination process's address space. - Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with using it: - Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or written to would need to be contiguous. - Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call, but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping (reason appears to have been lost) - Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view, especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands of processes that all need to do this with each other - Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to consider adding in the future (see below) - Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily) As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the copying. There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source and destination and store it in the destination. Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up when the mm changes. There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2 There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here: http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for 64-bit kernels.

When compiling an i386_defconfig kernel with gcc-4.6.1-9.fc15.i686, I noticed a warning about the asm operand for test_bit in kprobes' can_boost. I discovered that this caused only the first long of twobyte_is_boostable[] to be output. Jakub filed and fixed gcc PR50571 to correct the warning and this output issue. But to solve it for less current gcc, we can make kprobes' twobyte_is_boostable[] volatile, and it won't be optimized out.

I got a request to make it easier to determine the microcode update level on Intel CPUs. This patch adds a new "microcode" field to /proc/cpuinfo. The microcode level is also outputed on fatal machine checks together with the other CPUID model information. I removed the respective code from the microcode update driver, it just reads the field from cpu_data. Also when the microcode is updated it fills in the new values too. I had to add a memory barrier to native_cpuid to prevent it being optimized away when the result is not used. This turns out to clean up further code which already got this information manually. This is done in followon patches. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: NH.

Requesting the microcode from userspace *every time* when onlining CPUs (during a CPU hotplug operation) is unnecessary. Thus, ensure that once the kernel gets the microcode after booting, it is not freed nor invalidated when a CPU goes offline, so that it can be reused when that CPU comes back online, without requesting userspace for it again. As a result, the CPU hotplug operations become faster as well. Signed-off-by: NSrivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NRafael J.

Sparseirq got introduced in v2.6.28 and Thomas did a huge cleanup around v2.6.38 that eliminated basically all disadvantages of it. So we can remove non-sparseirq support now and simplify our IRQ degrees of freedom a bit.

While looking at the code, apic_id sometime is referred to index of ioapic, but sometime is used for phys apic id. and some even use apic for real apic id. It is very confusing. So try to limit apic_id or ioapic_id to be real apic id for ioapic, and use ioapic_idx for ioapic index in the array. -v2: Suggested by Ingo, use ioapic_idx consistently, instead of ioapic Signed-off-by: NYinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Naga Chumbalkar <nagananda.chumbalkar@hp.com> Cc: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4E9542DC.3090509@oracle.comSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

It is getting too big after the interrupt remaping entries debug print out was added. Original print_IO_APIC() becomes print_IO_APICs(). New print_IO_APIC() will only print one ioapic's registers As a side-effect this clean-up also made checkpatch.pl happier.

While checking irte dump in dmesg, the print out is confusing ioapic index with real io apic id: IOAPIC[0]: Set routing entry (1-1 -> 0x31 -> IRQ 1 Mode:0 Active:0 Dest:1) IOAPIC[1]: Set IRTE entry (P:1 FPD:0 Dst_Mode:1 Redir_hint:1 Trig_Mode:0 Dlvry_Mode:1 Avail:0 Vector:31 Dest:00000001 SID:00FF SQ:0 SVT:1) IOAPIC[0]: Set routing entry (1-2 -> 0x30 -> IRQ 0 Mode:0 Active:0 Dest:1) IOAPIC[1]: Set IRTE entry (P:1 FPD:0 Dst_Mode:1 Redir_hint:1 Trig_Mode:0 Dlvry_Mode:1 Avail:0 Vector:30 Dest:00000001 SID:00FF SQ:0 SVT:1) The system's first ioapic id is 1.

Ingo pointed out that setup_ioapic_entry() is way too big now. Split the intr-remap code out into setup_ir_ioapic_entry(). Also pass struct io_apic_irq_attr * instead of 5 parameters in those two functions. At last in setup_ir_ioapic_entry() we don't need to panic.

This UML breakage: linux-2.6.30.1[3800] vsyscall fault (exploit attempt?) ip:ffffffffff600000 cs:33 sp:7fbfb9c498 ax:ffffffffff600000 si:0 di:606790 linux-2.6.30.1[3856] vsyscall fault (exploit attempt?) ip:ffffffffff600000 cs:33 sp:7fbfb13168 ax:ffffffffff600000 si:0 di:606790 Is caused by commit 3ae36655 ("x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameter") - the vsyscall emulation code is not fully cooked yet as UML relies on some rather fragile SIGSEGV semantics.
