450cc201 ("x86/mce: Provide boot argument to honour bios-set CMCI threshold") added the bios_cmci_threshold sysfs attribute which was supposed to communicate to userspace tools that BIOS CMCI threshold has been honoured. However, this info is not of any importance to userspace - it should rather get the actual error count it has been thresholded already from MCi_STATUS[38:52]. So drop this before it becomes a used interface (good thing we caught this early in 3.7-rc1, right after the merge window closed). Cc: Naveen N.

When booting on a federated multi-server system (NumaScale), the processor Northbridge lookup returns NULL; add guards to prevent this causing an oops. On those systems, the northbridge is accessed through MMIO and the "normal" northbridge enumeration in amd_nb.c doesn't work since we're generating the northbridge ID from the initial APIC ID and the last is not unique on those systems. Long story short, we end up without northbridge descriptors.

Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address, even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest. This patch enforces exclude_guest kernel side.

The following patch adds perf_event support for the Xeon-Phi PMU, as documented in the "Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor (codename: Knights Corner) Performance Monitoring Units" manual. Even though it is a co-processor, a Phi runs a full Linux environment and can support performance counters. This is just barebones support, it does not add support for interesting new features such as the SPFLT intruction that allows starting/stopping events without entering the kernel. The PMU internally is just like that of an original Pentium, but a "P6-like" MSR interface is provided. The interface is different enough from a real P6 that it's not easy (or practical) to re-use the code in perf_event_p6.c Acked-by: NLawrence F Meadows <lawrence.f.meadows@intel.com> Acked-by: NCyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: NVince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: eranian@gmail.com Cc: Lawrence F <lawrence.f.meadows@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.02.1209261405320.8398@vincent-weaver-1.um.maine.eduSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

There is no fundamental reason why we should switch SMEP and SMAP on during early cpu initialization just to switch them off again. Now with %eflags and %cr4 forced to be initialized to a clean state, we only need the one-way enable. Also, make the functions inline to make them (somewhat) harder to abuse. This does mean that SMEP and SMAP do not get initialized anywhere near as early. Even using early_param() instead of __setup() doesn't give us control early enough to do this during the early cpu initialization phase. This seems reasonable to me, because SMEP and SMAP should not matter until we have userspace to protect ourselves from, but it does potentially make it possible for a bug involving a "leak of permissions to userspace" to get uncaught.

%cr4 is supposed to reflect a set of features into which the operating system is opting in. If the BIOS or bootloader leaks bits here, this is not desirable. Consider a bootloader passing in %cr4.pae set to a legacy paging kernel, for example -- it will not have any immediate effect, but the kernel would crash when turning paging on. A similar argument applies to %eflags, and since we have to look for %eflags.id being settable we can use a sequence which clears %eflags as a side effect. Note that we already do this for x86-64.

GAS in binutils(2.16.91) could not parse parentheses within macro parameters unless fully parenthesized, and this is a workaround to make old gas work without generating below errors: arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S: Assembler messages: arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:387: Error: too many positional arguments arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:389: Error: too many positional arguments [...] Signed-off-by: NTao Guo <glorioustao@gmail.com> Reluctantly-Acked-by: NJan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1348648102-12653-1-git-send-email-glorioustao@gmail.com [ Jan argues that these old GAS versions are fragile - which is so, but lets give them a chance. ] Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Commit 31d2092e ("x86: move mp_register_lapic_address to boot.c") renamed mp_register_lapic to acpi_register_lapic. But mp_register_lapic remains in a comment. So the patch rename it.

Since 'cpu == -1' in cpumask_next() is legal, no need to handle '*pos == 0' specially. About the comments: /* just in case, cpu 0 is not the first */ A test with a cpumask in which cpu 0 is not the first has been done, and it works well. This patch will remove that useless branch to clean the code.

With SMAP, the [f][x]rstor_checking() functions are no longer usable for user-space pointers by applying a simple __force cast.

CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how a tick will be at a given HZ. This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ, the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit, so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second. This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources. Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error. Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very early during boot, there are a number of cases where there are different possible hardware timers that have different tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where there are numerous different types of hardware, each having their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to accurately support different hardware with a single kernel. For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources who's granularity error is negligable. Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do everywhere to handle these edge cases. This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified dynamically at boot. This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock. NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies() calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of setup_arch() should resolve the regression: register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE) Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

If arch/x86/kernel/cpuid.c is a module, a CPU might offline or online between the for_each_online_cpu() loop and the call to register_hotcpu_notifier in cpuid_init or the call to unregister_hotcpu_notifier in cpuid_exit. The potential races can lead to leaks/duplicates, attempts to destroy non-existant devices, or random pointer dereferences. For example, in cpuid_exit if: for_each_online_cpu(cpu) cpuid_device_destroy(cpu); class_destroy(cpuid_class); __unregister_chrdev(CPUID_MAJOR, 0, NR_CPUS, "cpu/cpuid"); <----- CPU onlines unregister_hotcpu_notifier(&cpuid_class_cpu_notifier); the hotcpu notifier will attempt to create a device for the cpuid_class, which the module already destroyed. This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier or unregister_hotcpu_notifier with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus. Tested on a VM.
