Take mm->page_table_lock while syncing the vmalloc region. This prevents a race with the Xen pagetable pin/unpin code, which expects that the page_table_lock is already held. If this race occurs, then Xen can see an inconsistent page type (a page can either be read/write or a pagetable page, and pin/unpin converts it between them), which will cause either the pin or the set_p[gm]d to fail; either will crash the kernel. vmalloc_sync_all() should be called rarely, so this extra use of page_table_lock should not interfere with its normal users. The mm pointer is stashed in the pgd page's index field, as that won't be otherwise used for pgds.

It's wrong for several reasons, but the most direct one is that the fault may be for the stack accesses to set up a previous SIGBUS. When we have a kernel exception, the kernel exception handler does all the fixups, not some user-level signal handler. Even apart from the nested SIGBUS issue, it's also wrong to give out kernel fault addresses in the signal handler info block, or to send a SIGBUS when a system call already returns EFAULT.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

Since commit 5fd29d6c ("printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlines"), the kernel logs segfaults like: <6>gnome-power-man[24509]: segfault at 20 ip 00007f9d4950465a sp 00007fffbb50fc70 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.2103.0[7f9d494f7000+45000] with the extra "<6>" being KERN_INFO. This happens because the printk in show_signal_msg() started with KERN_CONT and then used "%s" to pass in the real level; and KERN_CONT is no longer an empty string, and printk only pays attention to the level at the very beginning of the format string. Therefore, remove the KERN_CONT from this printk, since it is now actively causing problems (and never really made any sense).

Prefetch instructions can generate spurious faults on certain models of older CPUs. The faults themselves cannot be stopped and they can occur pretty much anywhere - so the way we solve them is that we detect certain patterns and ignore the fault. There is one small path of code where we must not take faults though: the #PF handler execution leading up to the reading of the CR2 (the faulting address). If we take a fault there then we destroy the CR2 value (with that of the prefetching instruction's) and possibly mishandle user-space or kernel-space pagefaults. It turns out that in current upstream we do exactly that: prefetchw(&mm->mmap_sem); /* Get the faulting address: */ address = read_cr2(); This is not good. So turn around the order: first read the cr2 then prefetch the lock address. Reading cr2 is plenty fast (2 cycles) so delaying the prefetch by this amount shouldnt be a big issue performance-wise. [ And this might explain a mystery fault.c warning that sometimes occurs on one an old AMD/Semptron based test-system i have - which does have such prefetch problems. ] Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk> LKML-Reference: <20090616030522.GA22162@Krystal> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: extend prefetch handling on 64-bit Currently there's an extra is_prefetch() check done in do_sigbus(), which we only do on 32 bits. This is a last-ditch check before we terminate a task, so it's worth giving prefetch instructions another chance - should none of our existing quirks have caught a prefetch instruction related spurious fault. The only risk is if a prefetch causes a real sigbus, in that case we'll not OOM but try another fault. But this code has been on 32-bit for a long time, so it should be fine in practice.

Impact: add oops-recursion check to 32-bit Unify the oops state-machine, to the 64-bit version. It is slightly more careful in that it does a recursion check in oops_begin(), and is thus more likely to show the relevant oops. It also means that 32-bit will print one more line at the end of pagefault triggered oopses: printk(KERN_EMERG "CR2: %016lx\n", address); Which is generally good information to be seen in partial-dump digital-camera jpegs ;-) The downside is the somewhat more complex critical path. Both variants have been tested well meanwhile by kernel developers crashing their boxes so i dont think this is a practical worry.

Impact: improve page fault handling robustness The 'PF_RSVD' flag (bit 3) of the page-fault error_code is a relatively recent addition to x86 CPUs, so the 32-bit do_fault() implementation never had it. This flag gets set when the CPU detects nonzero values in any reserved bits of the page directory entries. Extend the existing 64-bit check for PF_RSVD in do_page_fault() to 32-bit too. If we detect such a fault then we print a more informative oops and the pagetables. This unifies the code some more, removes an ugly #ifdef and improves the 32-bit page fault code robustness a bit.
