      x86: remove quicklists · 985a34bd
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86,
      as documented at:
      
        http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991
      
      the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose
      cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for
      anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's
      the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was
      supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated
      by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as:
      
        Quicklists:    1194304 kB
      
      given how much trouble this code has caused historically,
      and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86
      (years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them.
      
      [ any performance benefits of caching constructed pgds should
        be implemented in a more generic way (possibly within the page
        allocator), while still allowing constructed pages to be
        allocated by other workloads. ]

      x86: ia32 syscall restart fix · 40f0933d
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a
      negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax.
      These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended.
      The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit
      kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters.
      
      For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as
      0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to
      sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't
      change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall()
      inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of
      signedness there.
      
      The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all
      sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the
      current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the
      time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.

      fix BIOS PCI config cycle buglet causing ACPI boot regression · f5dbb55b
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      I figured out another ACPI related regression today.
      
      randconfig testing triggered an early boot-time hang on a laptop of mine
      (32-bit x86, config attached) - the screen was scrolling ACPI AML
      exceptions [with no serial port and no early debugging available].
      
      v2.6.24 works fine on that laptop with the same .config, so after a few
      hours of bisection (had to restart it 3 times - other regressions
      interacted), it honed in on this commit:

      |     acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read()
      
      reverting this commit ontop of -rc5 gave a correctly booting kernel.
      
      But this commit fixes a real bug so the real question is, why did it
      break the bootup?
      
      After quite some head-scratching, the following change stood out:
      
      -                               pci_id->bus = tu8;
      +                               pci_id->bus = val;
      
      pci_id->bus is defined as u16:
      
         struct acpi_pci_id {
                 u16 segment;
                 u16 bus;
         ...
      
      and 'tu8' changed from u8 to u32. So previously we'd unconditionally
      mask the return value of acpi_os_read_pci_configuration()
      (raw_pci_read()) to 8 bits, but now we just trust whatever comes back
      from the PCI access routines and only crop it to 16 bits.
      
      But if the high 8 bits of that result contains any noise then we'll
      write that into ACPI's PCI ID descriptor and confuse the heck out of the
      rest of ACPI.
      
      So lets check the PCI-BIOS code on that theory. We have this codepath
      for 8-bit accesses (arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c:pci_bios_read()):
      
              switch (len) {
              case 1:
                      __asm__("lcall *(%%esi); cld\n\t"
                              "jc 1f\n\t"
                              "xor %%ah, %%ah\n"
                              "1:"
                              : "=c" (*value),
                                "=a" (result)
                              : "1" (PCIBIOS_READ_CONFIG_BYTE),
                                "b" (bx),
                                "D" ((long)reg),
                                "S" (&pci_indirect));
      
      Aha! The "=a" output constraint puts the full 32 bits of EAX into
      *value. But if the BIOS's routines set any of the high bits to nonzero,
      we'll return a value with more set in it than intended.
      
      The other, more common PCI access methods (v1 and v2 PCI reads) clear
      out the high bits already, for example pci_conf1_read() does:
      
              switch (len) {
              case 1:
                      *value = inb(0xCFC + (reg & 3));
      
      which explicitly converts the return byte up to 32 bits and zero-extends
      it.
      
      So zero-extending the result in the PCI-BIOS read routine fixes the
      regression on my laptop. ( It might fix some other long-standing issues
      we had with PCI-BIOS during the past decade ... ) Both 8-bit and 16-bit
      accesses were buggy.

      lguest: Revert 1ce70c4f, fix real problem. · 4357bd94
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest
      bug, and indeed it wasn't.
      
      The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table
      being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return
      an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables
      for each Guest).
      
      Commit 37cc8d7f introduced this
      behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.
      
      The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
      calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
      early exit path of guest_set_pmd().  But you get lots of segfaults in
      guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.

      non-zero, all the normal TSC code applies.

      x86_64: make ptrace always sign-extend orig_ax to 64 bits · 84c6f604
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
      32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64.  This matches what a
      64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.
      
      This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix".  This didn't
      matter until that was fixed.
      
      The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
      sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly.  It expects
      that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
      32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
      facilities.
      
      This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
      matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension.  Before
      that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
      the restart check anyway.  So this was never noticed as a regression
      of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.

      x86-boot: don't request VBE2 information · 1722770f
      Peter Korsgaard 提交于
      The new x86 setup code (4fd06960) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz
      with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out
      to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data.
      
      Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info
      structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the
      information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K
      BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).

        we encode it this way because there's no space for the 'FPU Last

        that PTRACE_GETFPREGS/PTRACE_SETFPREGS uses.
      
        it's probably pure legacy - i'd be surprised if any user-space relied on
        the FPU Last Opcode in any way. But indeed we used to do it previously
        so the most conservative thing is to preserve that piece of information.
