2012-11-21x86-64: Fix ordering of CFI directives and recent ASM_CLAC additionsJan Beulich
While these got added in the right place everywhere else, entry_64.S is the odd one where they ended up before the initial CFI directive(s). In order to cover the full code ranges, the CFI directive must be first, though.

2012-11-21x86-32: Fix invalid stack address while in softirqRobert Richter
In 32 bit the stack address provided by kernel_stack_pointer() may point to an invalid range causing NULL pointer access or page faults while in NMI (see trace below). This happens if called in softirq context and if the stack is empty. The address at &regs->sp is then out of range. Fixing this by checking if regs and &regs->sp are in the same stack context. Otherwise return the previous stack pointer stored in struct thread_info. If that address is invalid too, return address of regs.

2012-10-31x86, amd: Disable way access filter on Piledriver CPUsAndre Przywara
The Way Access Filter in recent AMD CPUs may hurt the performance of some workloads, caused by aliasing issues in the L1 cache. This patch disables it on the affected CPUs. The issue is similar to that one of last year: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1107.3/00041.html This new patch does not replace the old one, we just need another quirk for newer CPUs. The performance penalty without the patch depends on the circumstances, but is a bit less than the last year's 3%. The workloads affected would be those that access code from the same physical page under different virtual addresses, so different processes using the same libraries with ASLR or multiple instances of PIE-binaries. The code needs to be accessed simultaneously from both cores of the same compute unit. More details can be found here: http://developer.amd.com/Assets/SharedL1InstructionCacheonAMD15hCPU.pdf CPUs affected are anything with the core known as Piledriver. That includes the new parts of the AMD A-Series (aka Trinity) and the just released new CPUs of the FX-Series (aka Vishera). The model numbering is a bit odd here: FX CPUs have model 2, A-Series has model 10h, with possible extensions to 1Fh. Hence the range of model ids.

2012-10-30x86/mce: Do not change worker's running cpu in cmci_rediscover().Tang Chen
cmci_rediscover() used set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to change the current process's running cpu, and migrate itself to the dest cpu. But worker processes are not allowed to be migrated. If current is a worker, the worker will be migrated to another cpu, but the corresponding worker_pool is still on the original cpu. In this case, the following BUG_ON in try_to_wake_up_local() will be triggered: BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()); This will cause the kernel panic.

2012-10-24x86/irq/ioapic: Check for valid irq_cfg pointer in ↵Dimitri Sivanich
smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt Posting this patch to fix an issue concerning sparse irq's that I raised a while back. There was discussion about adding refcounting to sparse irqs (to fix other potential race conditions), but that does not appear to have been addressed yet. This covers the only issue of this type that I've encountered in this area. A NULL pointer dereference can occur in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() if we haven't yet setup the irq_cfg pointer in the irq_desc.irq_data.chip_data. In create_irq_nr() there is a window where we have set vector_irq in __assign_irq_vector(), but not yet called irq_set_chip_data() to set the irq_cfg pointer. Should an IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR hit the cpu in question during this time, smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() will attempt to process the aforementioned irq, but panic when accessing irq_cfg. Only continue processing the irq if irq_cfg is non-NULL.

2012-10-24perf/x86: Enable overflow on Intel KNC with a custom knc_pmu_handle_irq()Vince Weaver
Although based on the Intel P6 design, the interrupt mechnanism for KNC more closely resembles the Intel architectural perfmon one. We can't just re-use that code though, because KNC has different MSR numbers for the status and ack registers. In this case we just cut-and paste from perf_event_intel.c with some minor changes, as it looks like it would not be worth the trouble to change that code to be MSR-configurable.

x86_pmu.enable() is called from x86_pmu_enable() with cpuc->enabled set to 0. This means we weren't re-enabling the counters after a context switch. This patch just removes the check, as it should't be necessary (and the equivelent x86_ generic code does not have the checks). The origin of this problem is the KNC driver being based on the P6 one. The P6 driver also has this issue, but works anyway due to various lucky accidents.

2012-10-24perf/x86: Make Intel KNC use full 40-bit width of countersVince Weaver
Early versions of Intel KNC chips have a bug where bits above 32 were not properly set. We worked around this by only using the bottom 32 bits (out of 40 that should be available). It turns out this workaround breaks overflow handling. The buggy silicon will in theory never be used in production systems, so remove this workaround so we get proper overflow support.

2012-10-24perf/x86: Remove P6 cpuc->enabled checkVince Weaver
Between 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 the PMU code was made modular. The x86_pmu_enable() call was extended to disable cpuc->enabled and iterate the counters, enabling one at a time, before calling enable_all() at the end, followed by re-enabling cpuc->enabled. Since cpuc->enabled was set to 0, that change effectively caused the "val |= ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_ENABLE;" code in p6_pmu_enable_event() and p6_pmu_disable_event() to be dead code that was never called. This change removes this code (which was confusing) and adds some extra commentary to make it more clear what is going on.

2012-10-24x86/perf: Fix virtualization sanity checkAndre Przywara
In check_hw_exists() we try to detect non-emulated MSR accesses by writing an arbitrary value into one of the PMU registers and check if it's value after a readout is still the same. This algorithm silently assumes that the register does not contain the magic value already, which is wrong in at least one situation. Fix the algorithm to really do a read-modify-write cycle. This fixes a warning under Xen under some circumstances on AMD family 10h CPUs. The reasons in more details actually sound like a story from Believe It or Not!: First you need an AMD family 10h/12h CPU. These do not reset the PERF_CTR registers on a reboot. Now you boot bare metal Linux, which goes successfully through this check, but leaves the magic value of 0xabcd in the register. You don't use the performance counters, but do a reboot (warm reset). Then you choose to boot Xen. The check will be triggered with a recent Linux kernel as Dom0 again, trying to write 0xabcd into the MSR. Xen silently drops the write (expected), but the subsequent read will return the value in the register, which just happens to be the expected magic value. Thus the test misleadingly succeeds, leaving the kernel in the belief that the PMU is available. This will trigger the following message: [ 0.020294] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 0.020311] WARNING: at arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:730 xen_apic_write+0x15/0x17() [ 0.020318] Hardware name: empty [ 0.020323] Modules linked in: [ 0.020334] Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.3.8 #7 [ 0.020340] Call Trace: [ 0.020354] [<ffffffff81050379>] warn_slowpath_common+0x80/0x98 [ 0.020369] [<ffffffff810503a6>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x17 [ 0.020378] [<ffffffff810034df>] xen_apic_write+0x15/0x17 [ 0.020392] [<ffffffff8101cb2b>] perf_events_lapic_init+0x2e/0x30 [ 0.020410] [<ffffffff81ee4dd0>] init_hw_perf_events+0x250/0x407 [ 0.020419] [<ffffffff81ee4b80>] ? check_bugs+0x2d/0x2d [ 0.020430] [<ffffffff81002181>] do_one_initcall+0x7a/0x131 [ 0.020444] [<ffffffff81edbbf9>] kernel_init+0x91/0x15d [ 0.020456] [<ffffffff817caaa4>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [ 0.020471] [<ffffffff817c347c>] ? retint_restore_args+0x5/0x6 [ 0.020481] [<ffffffff817caaa0>] ? gs_change+0x13/0x13 [ 0.020500] ---[ end trace a7919e7f17c0a725 ]--- The new code will change every of the 16 low bits read from the register and tries to write and read-back that modified number from the MSR.

2012-10-19xen/x86: don't corrupt %eip when returning from a signal handlerDavid Vrabel
In 32 bit guests, if a userspace process has %eax == -ERESTARTSYS (-512) or -ERESTARTNOINTR (-513) when it is interrupted by an event /and/ the process has a pending signal then %eip (and %eax) are corrupted when returning to the main process after handling the signal. The application may then crash with SIGSEGV or a SIGILL or it may have subtly incorrect behaviour (depending on what instruction it returned to). The occurs because handle_signal() is incorrectly thinking that there is a system call that needs to restarted so it adjusts %eip and %eax to re-execute the system call instruction (even though user space had not done a system call). If %eax == -514 (-ERESTARTNOHAND (-514) or -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK (-516) then handle_signal() only corrupted %eax (by setting it to -EINTR). This may cause the application to crash or have incorrect behaviour. handle_signal() assumes that regs->orig_ax >= 0 means a system call so any kernel entry point that is not for a system call must push a negative value for orig_ax. For example, for physical interrupts on bare metal the inverse of the vector is pushed and page_fault() sets regs->orig_ax to -1, overwriting the hardware provided error code. xen_hypervisor_callback() was incorrectly pushing 0 for orig_ax instead of -1. Classic Xen kernels pushed %eax which works as %eax cannot be both non-negative and -RESTARTSYS (etc.), but using -1 is consistent with other non-system call entry points and avoids some of the tests in handle_signal(). There were similar bugs in xen_failsafe_callback() of both 32 and 64-bit guests. If the fault was corrected and the normal return path was used then 0 was incorrectly pushed as the value for orig_ax.

Plus sanitizing the asm glue and do_notify_resume() on alpha, fixing the "disabled irq while running task_work stuff" breakage there. At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work can be done independently for different architectures. The only pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for the next cycle.

2012-10-07uprobes/x86: Only rep+nop can be emulated correctlyOleg Nesterov
__skip_sstep() correctly detects the "nontrivial" nop insns, but since it doesn't update regs->ip we can not really skip "0x0f 0x1f | 0x0f 0x19 | 0x87 0xc0", the probed application is killed by SIGILL'ed handle_swbp(). Remove these additional checks. If we want to implement this correctly we need to know the full insn length to update ->ip. rep* + nop is fine even without updating ->ip.
