* [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processesAndi Kleen2006-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction state of other processes. This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as being different from Intel before. The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to clear FOP/FIP/FDP. This means other processes always will only see a constant value defined by the kernel in their FP state. I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low. Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs who don't need it. Patch for both i386/x86-64. The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution from Jan.

* [PATCH] Switch Kprobes inline functions to __kprobes for i386Prasanna S Panchamukhi2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andrew Morton pointed out that compiler might not inline the functions marked for inline in kprobes. There-by allowing the insertion of probes on these kprobes routines, which might cause recursion. This patch removes all such inline and adds them to kprobes section there by disallowing probes on all such routines. Some of the routines can even still be inlined, since these routines gets executed after the kprobes had done necessay setup for reentrancy.

* [PATCH] apm: fix Armada laptops againSamuel Thibault2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the "apm: set display: Interface not engaged" error on Armada laptops again. Jordan said: I think this is fine. It seems to me that this may be the fault of one or both of the APM solutions handling this situation in a non-standard way, but since APM is used very little on the Geode, and I have direct access to our BIOS folks, if this problem comes up with a customer again, we'll solve it from the firmware.

I have about 100 Linux boxes (all with the same (binary the same) kernel). Last time I have upgraded all those boxes from 2.4.32 to 2.6.15.6 (first 2.6.15.1, next .2, .4 and .6) and I have found some problems on VIA based PC's. Probably the reason of this is that some VIA chipsets are unrecognized by IRQ router. In line 586 there is: /* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */ There were only a few of chipsets ID's there, some of my VIA chipsets were not present and kernel used default IRQ router. I have added three entries, so that the code looks like: case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C596: case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686: case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8231: case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8233A: case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8235: case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237: case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237_SATA: /* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */ r->name = "VIA"; r->get = pirq_via_get; r->set = pirq_via_set; return 1; } The kernel goes fine but I haven't testes it for weeks, I'm just a moment after reboot :) One thing is different (better?): Using previus kernel I had: PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 0 now I have: PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 11 Maybe it is good idea to add there some more VIA chipsets?

* | [PATCH] DMI: move dmi_scan.c from arch/i386 to drivers/firmware/Bjorn Helgaas2006-04-14
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dmi_scan.c is arch-independent and is used by i386, x86_64, and ia64. Currently all three arches compile it from arch/i386, which means that ia64 and x86_64 depend on things in arch/i386 that they wouldn't otherwise care about. This is simply "mv arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c drivers/firmware/" (removing trailing whitespace) and the associated Makefile changes.

The former is not supported in x86_64 and the latter is enabled only in i386. Fix by enabling the latter method in x86_64 only if supported by the BIOS.

* [PATCH] No arch-specific strpbrk implementationsKyle McMartin2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't being exported from lib/string.c. Investigating further, I noticed a changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more architectures. The justification was that "other arches do it." I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines __HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it themselves. Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

* [PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFTYasunori Goto2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5 NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy. SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's number. This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary. On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2 config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It would be simpler.

* [PATCH] swsusp: don't require bigsmpAshok Raj2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Switching to automatic bigsmp causes a misleading error message, that more then 8 cpus are detected, and user needs to select either X86_GENERICARCH or X86_BIGSMP to handle. Reason is we switched to bigsmp to avoid IP race when new cpu is comming up. [bigsmp is nothing but using physical flat mode that can work for 1 .. 255 cpus] [default is X86_PC, that uses logical flat mode up to 8 CPUs max] Current x86_64 code uses bigsmp as default when hotplug is enabled. It would be preferable to make bigsmp as default, and work the dependencies of other related code like SMP_SUSPEND, and some related to memory hotplug code for i386. Current logical flat mode doesnt use shortcuts that cause the race by using the send_IPI_mask() instead of shortcuts when HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled. In the meantime this patch is the path of lease resistance. We will switch to bigsmp default sometime soon, when we get to work it again.

* Move request_standard_resources() back to before PCI probingLinus Torvalds2006-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This effectively undoes the PCI resource allocation changes done in commit b408cbc704352eccee301e1103b23203ba1c3a0e, but leaves the cleanups of that commit in place. We're going back to marking the resources reported by e820 busy _before_ doing PCI probing, so that any PCI resource that clashes with the BIOS- reported memory map will be reloacted to a non-clashing area. The reason? Larry Finger reports that his laptop has the cardbus controller set up by the BIOS so that it conflicts with the e820 memory map, and needs to be relocated. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6337 for more details. We'll have to work out how to handle the fbcon problem that caused that commit in the first place in some other way.

* [PATCH] i386: Consolidate modern APIC handlingAndi Kleen2006-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AMD systems have a modern APIC that supports 8 bit IDs, but don't have a XAPIC version number. Add a new "modern_apic" subfunction that handles this correctly and use it (nearly) everywhere where XAPIC is tested for. I removed one wart: the code specified that external APICs would use an 8bit APIC ID. But I checked a real 82093 data sheet and it says clearly that they only use 4bit. So I removed this special case since it would a bit awkward to implement now. I removed the valid APIC tests in mptable parsing completely. On any modern system they only check against the full field width (8bit) anyways and are no-ops. This also fixes them doing the wrong thing on >8 core Opterons. This makes i386 boot again on 16 core Opterons. Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This patch adds a simple sanity check that detects a whole bunch of these cases, and when it detects it, linux now boots rather than crash-and-burns. The accuracy of this detection can in principle be improved if there was a "is this entire range in e820 with THIS attribute", but no such function exist and the complexity needed for this is not really worth it; this simple check already catches most cases anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | Memory hotadd doesn't need SPARSEMEM, but can be handled by just preallocating mem_maps. This only needs some untangling of ifdefs to enable the necessary code even without SPARSEMEM. Originally from Keith Mannthey, hacked by AK.

| * [PATCH] sys_sync_file_range()Andrew Morton2006-03-31

Reasons: - It's more flexible. Things which would require two or three syscalls with fadvise() can be done in a single syscall. - Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX. The patch wires up the syscall for x86. The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later. Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c. A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz. The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the ->fsync call for NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common." Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if the queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set wbc->nonblocking. But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation details down to that level. Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing. Same with fsync() and fdatasync()). Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility. Perhaps it should make such requests fail...

| * [PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]OGAWA Hirofumi2006-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit. This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

| * [PATCH] Mark unwind info for signal trampolines in vDSOsJakub Jelinek2006-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mark unwind info for signal trampolines using the new S augmentation flag introduced in: http://gcc.gnu.org/PR26208. GCC 4.2 (or patched earlier GCC) will be able to special case unwinding through frames right above signal trampolines. As the augmentations start with z flag and S is at the very end of the augmentation string, older GCCs will just skip the S flag as unknown (that's why an augmentation flag was chosen over say a new CFA opcode).

| * [PATCH] i386 kdump timer vector lockup fixVivek Goyal2006-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Porting the patch I posted for x86_64 to i386. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114178139610707&w=2 o While using kdump, after a system crash when second kernel boots, timer vector gets (0x31) locked and CPU does not see timer interrupts travelling from IOAPIC to APIC. Currently it does not lead to boot failure in second kernel as timer interrupts continues to come as ExtInt through LAPIC directly, but fixing it is good in case some boards do not support the other mode. o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for EOI. o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set. o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

| * [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system callJens Axboe2006-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only). From the splice.c comments: "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands. This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other. The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer. Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation bugs.
