      x86: implement percpu_alloc kernel parameter · fa8a7094
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the
trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than
PTE TLB.  The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual
size of percpu area and specific processor.  As performance
degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific
and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more
data.

This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting
which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing.

While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something
failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working.  Also,
kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized
quite some time ago.

      gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure · 2521f2c2
      由 Peter Oberparleiter 提交于 
      Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel.  gcov may be useful for:

 * debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
 * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
 * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
   associated code is never run?)

The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:

 * change kbuild to include profiling flags
 * provide functions needed by profiling code
 * present profiling data as files in debugfs

Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.

For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

      ide: preserve Host Protected Area by default (v2) · 075affcb
      由 Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 提交于 
      From the perspective of most users of recent systems, disabling Host
Protected Area (HPA) can break vendor RAID formats, GPT partitions and
risks corrupting firmware or overwriting vendor system recovery tools.

Unfortunately the original (kernels < 2.6.30) behavior (unconditionally
disabling HPA and using full disk capacity) was introduced at the time
when the main use of HPA was to make the drive look small enough for the
BIOS to allow the system to boot with large capacity drives.

Thus to allow the maximum compatibility with the existing setups (using
HPA and partitioned with HPA disabled) we automically disable HPA if
any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.  Additionally HPA can also
be disabled using the "nohpa" module parameter (i.e. "ide_core.nohpa=0.0"
to disable HPA on /dev/hda).

v2:
Fix ->resume HPA support.

While at it:
- remove stale "idebus=" entry from Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

      ftrace: add kernel command line function filtering · 2af15d6a
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions
on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called.

This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands.

  ftrace_notrace=function-list
  ftrace_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.
The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included
in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions
listed.

These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and
debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively.

The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also
be used by the command line interface.

	ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin*

Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has
the word spin in it.

Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering
set by the command lines.

      IMA: Minimal IMA policy and boot param for TCB IMA policy · 5789ba3b
      由 Eric Paris 提交于 
      The IMA TCB policy is dangerous.  A normal use can use all of a system's
memory (which cannot be freed) simply by building and running lots of
executables.  The TCB policy is also nearly useless because logging in as root
often causes a policy violation when dealing with utmp, thus rendering the
measurements meaningless.

There is no good fix for this in the kernel.  A full TCB policy would need to
be loaded in userspace using LSM rule matching to get both a protected and
useful system.  But, if too little is measured before userspace can load a real
policy one again ends up with a meaningless set of measurements.  One option
would be to put the policy load inside the initrd in order to get it early
enough in the boot sequence to be useful, but this runs into trouble with the
LSM.  For IMA to measure the LSM policy and the LSM policy loading mechanism
it needs rules to do so, but we already talked about problems with defaulting
to such broad rules....

IMA also depends on the files being measured to be on an FS which implements
and supports i_version.  Since the only FS with this support (ext4) doesn't
even use it by default it seems silly to have any IMA rules by default.

This should reduce the performance overhead of IMA to near 0 while still
letting users who choose to configure their machine as such to inclue the
ima_tcb kernel paramenter and get measurements during boot before they can
load a customized, reasonable policy in userspace.

      oprofile: re-add force_arch_perfmon option · 1dcdb5a9
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      This re-adds the force_arch_perfmon option that was in the original
arch perfmon patchkit. Originally this was rejected in favour
of a generalized perfmon=name option, but it turned out implementing
the later in a reliable way is hard (and it would have been easy
to crash the kernel if a user gets it wrong)

But now Atom and Core i7 support being readded a user would
need to update their oprofile userland to beyond 0.9.4 to use oprofile again
on Atom or Core i7.

To avoid this problem readd the force_arch_perfmon option.

      Intel IOMMU Pass Through Support · 4ed0d3e6
      由 Fenghua Yu 提交于 
      The patch adds kernel parameter intel_iommu=pt to set up pass through
mode in context mapping entry. This disables DMAR in linux kernel; but
KVM still runs on VT-d and interrupt remapping still works.

In this mode, kernel uses swiotlb for DMA API functions but other VT-d
functionalities are enabled for KVM. KVM always uses multi level
translation page table in VT-d. By default, pass though mode is disabled
in kernel.

This is useful when people don't want to enable VT-d DMAR in kernel but
still want to use KVM and interrupt remapping for reasons like DMAR
performance concern or debug purpose.
