2009-10-01x86: Don't generate cmpxchg8b_emu if CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64=yEric Dumazet

2009-09-30x86: Provide an alternative() based cmpxchg64()Arjan van de Ven
cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code. cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there, but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking. This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on all modern systems. Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)

2009-09-04x86, msr: change msr-reg.o to obj-y, and export its symbolsH. Peter Anvin
Change msr-reg.o to obj-y (it will be included in virtually every kernel since it is used by the initialization code for AMD processors) and add a separate C file to export its symbols to modules, so that msr.ko can use them; on uniprocessors we bypass the helper functions in msr.o and use the accessor functions directly via inlines.

Linus noted (based on Eric Dumazet's numbers) that we would probably be better off not trying an atomic_read() in atomic64_add_return() but intead intentionally let the first cmpxchg8b fail - to get a cache-friendly 'give me ownership of this cacheline' transaction. That can then be followed by the real cmpxchg8b which sets the value local to the CPU.

2009-07-03x86: atomic64: Improve atomic64_read()Eric Dumazet
Linus noticed that the 32-bit version of atomic64_read() was being overly complex with re-reading the value and doing a retry loop over that. Instead we can just rely on cmpxchg8b returning either the new value or returning the current value. We can use any 'old' value, which will be faster as it can be loaded via immediates. Using some value that is not equal to the real value in memory the instruction gets faster. This also has the advantage that the CPU could avoid dirtying the cacheline.

2009-06-20x86, 64-bit: Clean up user address maskingLinus Torvalds
The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see commit 7f8189068726492950bf1a2dcfd9b51314560abf: "x86: don't use 'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy about virtual address checking. So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual addresses: - All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space. - /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more obvious when it transforms a file offset into a (kernel-half) virtual address. - Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX. This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this. So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'. Namely by just checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the rest. That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we didn't, we'd have the address space hole).

2009-06-10x86: MSR: add methods for writing of an MSR on several CPUsBorislav Petkov
Provide for concurrent MSR writes on all the CPUs in the cpumask. Also, add a temporary workaround for smp_call_function_many which skips the CPU we're executing on.

2009-06-10x86: MSR: add a struct representation of an MSRBorislav Petkov
Add a struct representing a 64bit MSR pair consisting of a low and high register part and convert msr_info to use it. Also, rename msr-on-cpu.c to msr.c. Side note: Put the cpumask.h include in __KERNEL__ space thus fixing an allmodconfig build failure in the headers_check target. CC: H.

Impact: fix rare (but currently harmless) miscompile with certain configs and gcc versions Hugh Dickins noticed that strncpy_from_user() was miscompiled in some circumstances with gcc 4.3. Thanks to Hugh's excellent analysis it was easy to track down. Hugh writes: > Try building an x86_64 defconfig 2.6.29-rc1 kernel tree, > except not quite defconfig, switch CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y > and CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY off (because it expands a > might_fault() there, which hides the issue): using a > gcc 4.3.2 (I've checked both openSUSE 11.1 and Fedora 10). > > It generates the following: > > 0000000000000000 <__strncpy_from_user>: > 0: 48 89 d1 mov %rdx,%rcx > 3: 48 85 c9 test %rcx,%rcx > 6: 74 0e je 16 <__strncpy_from_user+0x16> > 8: ac lods %ds:(%rsi),%al > 9: aa stos %al,%es:(%rdi) > a: 84 c0 test %al,%al > c: 74 05 je 13 <__strncpy_from_user+0x13> > e: 48 ff c9 dec %rcx > 11: 75 f5 jne 8 <__strncpy_from_user+0x8> > 13: 48 29 c9 sub %rcx,%rcx > 16: 48 89 c8 mov %rcx,%rax > 19: c3 retq > > Observe that "sub %rcx,%rcx; mov %rcx,%rax", whereas gcc 4.2.1 > (and many other configs) say "sub %rcx,%rdx; mov %rdx,%rax". > Isn't it returning 0 when it ought to be returning strlen? The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments are written before all input arguments are read. Also add more early clobbers in the rest of the file and fix 32-bit usercopy.c in the same way. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> [ since this API is rarely used and no in-kernel user relies on a 'len' return value (they only rely on negative return values) this miscompile was never noticed in the field.

2008-09-10x86: some lock annotations for user copy pathsNick Piggin
copy_to/from_user and all its variants (except the atomic ones) can take a page fault and perform non-trivial work like taking mmap_sem and entering the filesyste/pagecache. Unfortunately, this often escapes lockdep because a common pattern is to use it to read in some arguments just set up from userspace, or write data back to a hot buffer. In those cases, it will be unlikely for page reclaim to get a window in to cause copy_*_user to fault. With the new might_lock primitives, add some annotations to x86. I don't know if I caught all possible faulting points (it's a bit of a maze, and I didn't really look at 32-bit). But this is a starting point. Boots and runs OK so far.

2008-08-18x86: make movsl_mask definition non-CPU specificThomas Petazzoni
movsl_mask is currently defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c, which contains code specific to Intel CPUs. However, movsl_mask is used in the non-CPU specific code in arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c, which breaks the compilation when support for Intel CPUs is compiled out. This patch solves this problem by moving movsl_mask's definition close to its users in arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c.
