Unoptimization occurs when a probe is unregistered or disabled,
and is heavy because it recovers instructions by using
stop_machine(). This patch delays unoptimization operations and
unoptimize several probes at once by using
text_poke_smp_batch(). This can avoid unexpected system slowdown
coming from stop_machine().
Changes in v5:
- Split this patch into several cleanup patches and this patch.
- Fix some text_mutex lock miss.
- Use bool instead of int for behavior flags.
- Add additional comment for (un)optimizing path.
Changes in v2:
- Use dynamic allocated buffers and params.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

In a kvm virt guests, the perf counters are not emulated. Instead they
return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing
a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have
specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all
NMIs thinking the counters overflowed.
This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its
magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests.
The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the
initialization and hopefully reading back the same number. On kvm
guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as
a result.

The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.
However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:
(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task
In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0. If it _is_ defined, then
- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs,
- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
dump_trace(),
- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs.
Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.
This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

Now that the bulk of the old nmi_watchdog is gone, remove all
the stub variables and hooks associated with it.
This touches lots of files mainly because of how the io_apic
nmi_watchdog was implemented. Now that the io_apic nmi_watchdog
is forever gone, remove all its fingers.
Most of this code was not being exercised by virtue of
nmi_watchdog != NMI_IO_APIC, so there shouldn't be anything to
risky here.

Now that we have a new nmi_watchdog that is more generic and
sits on top of the perf subsystem, we really do not need the old
nmi_watchdog any more.
In addition, the old nmi_watchdog doesn't really work if you are
using the default clocksource, hpet. The old nmi_watchdog code
relied on local apic interrupts to determine if the cpu is still
alive. With hpet as the clocksource, these interrupts don't
increment any more and the old nmi_watchdog triggers false
postives.
This piece removes the old nmi_watchdog code and stubs out any
variables and functions calls. The stubs are the same ones used
by the new nmi_watchdog code, so it should be well tested.

We now use load_gs_index() to load gs safely; unfortunately this also
changes MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, which we managed separately. This resulted
in confusion and breakage running 32-bit host userspace on a 64-bit kernel.
Fix by
- saving guest MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE before we we reload the host's gs
- doing the host save/load unconditionally, instead of only when in guest
long mode
Things can be cleaned up further, but this is the minmal fix for now.

The fix from ba773f7c510c0b252145933926c636c439889207
(x86,kgdb: Fix hw breakpoint regression) was not entirely complete.
The kgdb_remove_all_hw_break() function also needs to call the
hw_break_release_slot() or else a breakpoint can get activated again
after the debugger has detached.
The kgdb test suite exposes the behavior in the form of either a hang
or repetitive failure. The kernel config that exposes the problem
contains all of the following:
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING="V1F100"

When a single step exception fires, the trap bits, used to
signal hardware breakpoints, are in a random state.
These trap bits might be set if another exception will follow,
like a breakpoint in the next instruction, or a watchpoint in the
previous one. Or there can be any junk there.
So if we handle these trap bits during the single step exception,
we are going to handle an exception twice, or we are going to
handle junk.
Just ignore them in this case.

Some BIOSes provide PCI host bridge windows that overlap, e.g.,
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xb0000000-0xffffffff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xafffffff-0xdfffffff]
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xf0000000-0xffffffff]
If we simply insert these as children of iomem_resource, the second window
fails because it conflicts with the first, and the third is inserted as a
child of the first, i.e.,
b0000000-ffffffff PCI Bus 0000:00
f0000000-ffffffff PCI Bus 0000:00
When we claim PCI device resources, this can cause collisions like this
if we put them in the first window:
pci 0000:00:01.0: address space collision: [mem 0xff300000-0xff4fffff] conflicts with PCI Bus 0000:00 [mem 0xf0000000-0xffffffff]
Host bridge windows are top-level resources by definition, so it doesn't
make sense to make the third window a child of the first. This patch
coalesces any host bridge windows that overlap. For the example above,
the result is this single window:
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xafffffff-0xffffffff]
This fixes a 2.6.34 regression.

When running ktest.pl randconfig tests, I would sometimes trigger
a lockdep annotation bug (possible reason: unannotated irqs-on).
This triggering happened right after function tracer self test was
executed. After doing a config bisect I found that this was caused with
having function tracer, paravirt guest, prove locking, and rcu torture
all enabled.
The rcu torture just enhanced the likelyhood of triggering the bug.
Prove locking was needed, since it was the thing that was bugging.
Function tracer would trace and disable interrupts in all sorts
of funny places.
paravirt guest would turn arch_local_irq_* into functions that would
be traced.
Besides the fact that tracing arch_local_irq_* is just a bad idea,
this is what is happening.
The bug happened simply in the local_irq_restore() code:
if (raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)) { \
raw_local_irq_restore(flags); \
trace_hardirqs_off(); \
} else { \
trace_hardirqs_on(); \
raw_local_irq_restore(flags); \
} \
The raw_local_irq_restore() was defined as arch_local_irq_restore().
Now imagine, we are about to enable interrupts. We go into the else
case and call trace_hardirqs_on() which tells lockdep that we are enabling
interrupts, so it sets the current->hardirqs_enabled = 1.
Then we call raw_local_irq_restore() which calls arch_local_irq_restore()
which gets traced!
Now in the function tracer we disable interrupts with local_irq_save().
This is fine, but flags is stored that we have interrupts disabled.
When the function tracer calls local_irq_restore() it does it, but this
time with flags set as disabled, so we go into the if () path.
This keeps interrupts disabled and calls trace_hardirqs_off() which
sets current->hardirqs_enabled = 0.
When the tracer is finished and proceeds with the original code,
we enable interrupts but leave current->hardirqs_enabled as 0. Which
now breaks lockdeps internal processing.

In patch v1 Jan Kiszka suggested to fill reserved fields with zeros
instead of memset'ting the whole struct. It makes sense as these
fields are explicitly marked as padding. No more fields need zeroing.

I have observed the following bug trigger:
1. userspace calls GET_DIRTY_LOG
2. kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access is called and makes a page ro
3. page fault happens and makes the page writeable
fault is logged in the bitmap appropriately
4. kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log swaps slot pointers
a lot of time passes
5. guest writes into the page
6. userspace calls GET_DIRTY_LOG
At point (5), bitmap is clean and page is writeable,
thus, guest modification of memory is not logged
and GET_DIRTY_LOG returns an empty bitmap.
The rule is that all pages are either dirty in the current bitmap,
or write-protected, which is violated here.
It seems that just moving kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access down
to after the slot pointer swap should fix this bug.

function, which is called from __cpuinit init_smp_flash(). So -
it's safe.
We were warned by the following warning:
WARNING: arch/x86/mm/built-in.o(.text+0x356d): Section mismatch
in reference from the function tlb_cpuhp_notify() to the
function .cpuinit.text:calculate_tlb_offset()
The function tlb_cpuhp_notify() references
the function __cpuinit calculate_tlb_offset().
This is often because tlb_cpuhp_notify lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of calculate_tlb_offset is wrong.

x86: Check irq_remapped instead of remapping_enabled in destroy_irq()
|
|
Russ Anderson reported:
| There is a regression that is causing a NULL pointer dereference
| in free_irte when shutting down xpc. git bisect narrowed it down
| to git commit d585d06(intr_remap: Simplify the code further), which
| changed free_irte(). Reverse applying the patch fixes the problem.
We need to use irq_remapped() for each irq instead of checking only
intr_remapping_enabled as there might be non remapped irqs even when
remapping is enabled.
[ tglx: use cfg instead of retrieving it again. Massaged changelog ]

Currently, text_poke_smp() passes a NULL as the third argument to
__stop_machine(), which will only run stop_machine_text_poke()
on 1 cpu. Change NULL -> cpu_online_mask, as stop_machine_text_poke()
is intended to be run on all cpus.
I actually didn't notice any problems with stop_machine_text_poke()
only being called on 1 cpu, but found this via code inspection.

sizeof(pmd_t *) is 4 bytes on 32-bit PAE leading to an allocation of
only 2048 bytes. The correct size is sizeof(pmd_t) giving us a full
page allocation.
