It causes crash on system with lots of cards with MSI-X when irq_balancer enabled... The patches fixing it were both complex and fragile, according to Eric they were also doing quite dangerous things to the hardware. Instead we now have patches that solve this problem via static NUMA node mappings - not dynamic allocation and balancing. The patches are much simpler than this method but are still too large outside of the merge window, so we mark the dynamic balancer as broken for now, and queue up the new approach for v2.6.31.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages(). This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

Impact: cleanup; preparation for feature The mce_amd_64 code has an own private MC threshold vector with an own interrupt handler. Since Intel needs a similar handler it makes sense to share the vector because both can not be active at the same time. I factored the common APIC handler code into a separate file which can be used by both the Intel or AMD MC code. This is needed for the next patch which adds an Intel specific CMCI handler. This patch should be a nop for AMD, it just moves some code around. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation. However, this is done a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions can't be wrapped. This not only is messy but also leads to strange situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be able to be used interchangeably. This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping. Also, HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@saeurebad.de>

Impact: remove unused/broken code The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27, v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels. No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage. Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken. In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the build problems already known, needs serious and significant changes and probably a rewrite to support it. CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it. While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme, voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable fashion. So remove this inactive code for now. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: stack protector for x86_32 Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it. It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes. CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu variable. x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely need something better.

Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary. In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs handling optional by doing the followings. * Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs. * Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path and simplifies entry path with error code. * Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily. * Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly. xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

The function graph tracer piggy backed onto the dynamic ftracer to use the in_nmi custom code for dynamic tracing. The problem was (as Andrew Morton pointed out) it really only wanted to bail out if the context of the current CPU was in NMI context. But the dynamic ftrace in_nmi custom code was true if _any_ CPU happened to be in NMI context. Now that we have a generic in_nmi interface, this patch changes the function graph code to use it instead of the dynamic ftarce custom code.

Impact: prevent deadlock in NMI The ring buffers are not yet totally lockless with writing to the buffer. When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant with the spinlocks disabling interrupts. The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then we risk the chance of a deadlock. This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates the Kconfig to handle it. When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry is discarded. This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
