To solve the deadlock problem, we move "->resync_finish()" from md_do_sync to md_reap_sync_thread (after md_update_sb), also MD_HELD_RESYNC_LOCK is introduced since it is possible that node can't get resync lock in md_do_sync. Then we do not need to wait for MD_CHANGE_PENDING is cleared or not since metadata should be updated after md_update_sb, so just call resync_finish if MD_HELD_RESYNC_LOCK is set. We also unified the code after skip label, since set PENDING for non-clustered case should be harmless.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GSBASE upper limit exists to prevent user code from confusing the paranoid idtentry path. The FSBASE upper limit is just for consistency. There's no need to enforce a smaller limit for 32-bit tasks. Just use TASK_SIZE_MAX. This simplifies the logic and will save a few bytes of code.

| * | x86/mm/mpx: Work around MPX erratum SKD046Dave Hansen2016-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This erratum essentially causes the CPU to forget which privilege level it is operating on (kernel vs. user) for the purposes of MPX. This erratum can only be triggered when a system is not using Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention (SMEP). Our workaround for the erratum is to ensure that MPX can only be used in cases where SMEP is present in the processor and is enabled. This erratum only affects Core processors. Atom is unaffected. But, there is no architectural way to determine Atom vs. Core. So, we just apply this workaround to all processors. It's possible that it will mistakenly disable MPX on some Atom processsors or future unaffected Core processors. There are currently no processors that have MPX and not SMEP. It would take something akin to a hypervisor masking SMEP out on an Atom processor for this to present itself on current hardware. More details can be found at: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/desktop-6th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf " SKD046 Branch Instructions May Initialize MPX Bound Registers Incorrectly Problem: Depending on the current Intel MPX (Memory Protection Extensions) configuration, execution of certain branch instructions (near CALL, near RET, near JMP, and Jcc instructions) without a BND prefix (F2H) initialize the MPX bound registers. Due to this erratum, such a branch instruction that is executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3 may not use the correct MPX configuration register (BNDCFGU or BNDCFGS, respectively) for determining whether to initialize the bound registers; it may thus initialize the bound registers when it should not, or fail to initialize them when it should. Implication: A branch instruction that has executed both in user mode and in supervisor mode (from the same linear address) may cause a #BR (bound range fault) when it should not have or may not cause a #BR when it should have. Workaround An operating system can avoid this erratum by setting CR4.SMEP[bit 20] to enable supervisor-mode execution prevention (SMEP). When SMEP is enabled, no code can be executed both with CPL = 3 and with CPL < 3.

| * | x86/entry/64: Fix stack return address retrieval in thunkJosh Poimboeuf2016-05-19

'9*8(%rsp)' actually gets the frame pointer, not the return address. The only users of the 'put_ret_addr_in_rdi' option are two functions which trace the enabling and disabling of interrupts, so this bug can result in bad debug or tracing information with CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER or CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING. Fix this by implementing the suggestion of Linus: explicitly push the frame pointer all the time and constify the stack offsets that way. This is both correct and easier to read.

Furthermore, the SAVE_XMM code saves the old stack pointer, but that's just crazy. It saves the stack pointer *AFTER* we've done the: FRAME_BEGIN ... which will have *changed* the stack pointer, depending on whether stack frames are enabled or not. So when the code then does: mov (%rsp), %rax ... we now move that old stack pointer into %rax, but the offset off that stack pointer will depend on whether that FRAME_BEGIN saved off %rbp or not. So that whole 8-vs-16 offset confusion depends on the frame pointer! If frame pointers were enabled, it will be 16. If they weren't, it will be 8. The right fix is to just get rid of that silly conditional frame pointer thing, and always use frame pointers in this stub function. And then we don't need that (odd) load to get the old stack pointer into %rax - we can just use the frame pointer.

I'm not quite sure how I bungled it, but I consulted the wrong word at the end. This only affected required or disabled cpu features in cpufeature words 14, 15 and 16. So, only Protection Keys itself was screwed over here. The result was that if you disabled pkeys in your .config, you might still see some code show up that should have been compiled out. There should be no functional problems, though. In verifying this patch I also realized that the DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE macros were defined backwards and that the cpu_has() check in setup_pku() was not doing the compile-time disabled checks. So also fix the macro for DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE and add a compile-time check for pkeys being enabled in setup_pku().

Since this is not so; we need to transfer this information between queueing the wakeup and actually doing the wakeup.

As it is never right to combine/elide preempt_count manipulations like this. Therefore sprinkle some volatile in the two generic accessors to ensure the compiler is aware of the fact that the preempt_count is observed outside of the regular program-order view and thus cannot be optimized away like this. x86; the only arch not using the generic code is not affected as we do all this in asm in order to use the segment base per-cpu stuff.

'head' is maintained by the kernel, points to the last written record. 'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to perf.data. The names of these variables are not very intutive. In addition, when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got. Add 'start' and 'end' pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to 'head' instead of the moved 'old' pointer.

Instead leave the ref_reloc_sym as NULL and code using it will cope. This allows 'perf trace' to work on such systems for !root, the only issue would be when trying to resolve kernel symbols, which happens, for instance, in some libtracevent plugins. A warning for that case will be provided in the next patch in this series. Noticed in Ubuntu 16.04, that comes with kptr_restrict=1.
