* [PATCH] i386/x86-64 Correct for broken MCFG tables on K8 systemsAndi Kleen2005-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | They report all busses as MMCONFIG capable, but it never works for the internal devices in the CPU's builtin northbridge. It just probes all func 0 devices on bus 0 (the internal northbridge is currently always on bus 0) and if they are not accessible using MCFG they are put into a special fallback bitmap. On systems where it isn't we assume the BIOS vendor supplied correct MCFG.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's illegal because it can sleep. Use a two step lookup scheme instead. First look up the vm_struct, then change the direct mapping, then finally unmap it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | With CPU hotplug enabled, NMI watchdog stoped working.

* [PATCH] PCI: remove bogus resource collision errorRajesh Shah2005-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When attempting to hotadd a PCI card with a bridge on it, I saw the kernel reporting resource collision errors even when there were really no collisions. The problem is that the code doesn't skip over "invalid" resources with their resource type flag not set. Others have reported similar problems at boot time and for non-bridge PCI card hotplug too, where the code flags a resource collision for disabled ROMs. This patch fixes both problems.

* [PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execveJim Keniston2005-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve, do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread. The fix is to remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread(). This fix has been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64). Please apply. BACKGROUND Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a task exits, and when it execs. Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit(). Neither is the case for sys_execve() and its callees. Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its kretprobe_instance. When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and x86_64. sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for return probes until this fix was developed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We should zap the low mappings, as soon as possible, so that we can catch kernel bugs more effectively. Previously early boot had NULL mapped and didn't trap on NULL references. This patch introduces boot_level4_pgt, which will always have low identity addresses mapped. Druing boot, all the processors will use this as their level4 pgt. On BP, we will switch to init_level4_pgt as soon as we enter C code and zap the low mappings as soon as we are done with the usage of identity low mapped addresses. On AP's we will zap the low mappings as soon as we jump to C code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | interrupt sources Here's a patch that builds on Natalie Protasevich's IRQ compression patch and tries to work for MPS boots as well as ACPI. It is meant for a 4-node IBM x460 NUMA box, which was dying because it had interrupt pins with GSI numbers > NR_IRQS and thus overflowed irq_desc. The problem is that this system has 270 GSIs (which are 1:1 mapped with I/O APIC RTEs) and an 8-node box would have 540. This is much bigger than NR_IRQS (224 for both i386 and x86_64). Also, there aren't enough vectors to go around. There are about 190 usable vectors, not counting the reserved ones and the unused vectors at 0x20 to 0x2F. So, my patch attempts to compress the GSI range and share vectors by sharing IRQs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5546 The cpu_khz global is not initialized and remains 0 if you boot with clock=pit, even if the processor does have a TSC. This may have bad ramifications since the variable is used in various places scattered around the kernel, though I didn't check them all to see if they can tolerate cpu_khz = 0. You can observe the problem by doing "cat /proc/cpuinfo"; the cpu MHz line says 0.000. The fix is trivial; call init_cpu_khz() from init_pit(), just as it's called from the timers/timer_foo.c:init_foo() for other values of foo.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After much testing and agony, I've discovered that my previous ohci1394 quirk for Toshiba laptops is not 100% reliable. It apparently fails to do the interrupt line change either correctly or in time, since in about 2 out of 5 boots, the kernel's irqdebug code will *still* disable irq 11 when the ohci1394 driver is loaded (at pci_enable_device time I think). This patch switches things around a little in the workaround. First, it removes the mdelay. I didn't see a need for it and my testing has shown that it's not necessary for the quirk to work. Secondly, instead of trying to change the interrupt line to what ACPI tells us it should be, this patch makes the quirk use the value in the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE register. On this laptop at least, that seems to be the right thing to do, though additional testing on other laptops and/or with actual firewire devices would be appreciated.

Improves efficiency of resched_task and some cpu_idle routines. * In resched_task: - TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held, and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe. - If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off. - If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required. - If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI. Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of POLLING_NRFLAG. * In idle routines: - Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet. - Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching to the idle thread. - Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into a halt requiring interrupt wakeup. Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling the idle task. POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

* | [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasksNick Piggin2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Run idle threads with preempt disabled. Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()). How did it ever work before? Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted. We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined. After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead. By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Via reading the code, my understanding is that powernow-k8 uses preempt_disable to ensure that driver->target doesn't migrate across cpus whilst it's accessing per processor registers, however set_cpus_allowed will provide this for us. Additionally, remove schedule() calls from set_cpus_allowed as set_cpus_allowed ensures that you're executing on the target processor on return.

* | | [PATCH] Kprobes: Use RCU for (un)register synchronization - arch changesAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changes to the arch kprobes infrastructure to take advantage of the locking changes introduced by usage of RCU for synchronization. All handlers are now run without any locks held, so they have to be re-entrant or provide their own synchronization.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I386 changes to track kprobe execution on a per-cpu basis.

* | | [PATCH] Kprobes: rearrange preempt_disable/enable() callsAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability. We currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock. With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held. It also allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis. It is now necessary that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on multiple processors. All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64 has been compile tested only. The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks: patch 1: Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls patches 2-7: Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution patches 8-9: Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler execution. Thanks to Maneesh Soni, James Keniston and Anil Keshavamurthy for their review and suggestions. Thanks again to Anil, Hien Nguyen and Kevin Stafford for testing the patches. This patch: Reorder preempt_disable/enable() calls in arch kprobes files in preparation to introduce locking changes. No functional changes introduced by this patch.

* | | [PATCH] consolidate sys_ptrace()Christoph Hellwig2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures. This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as arch_ptrace. Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them. They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call. For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL isn't defined anywhere in the tree.
