* [PATCH] namespaces: add nsproxySerge E. Hallyn2006-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname namespace into the nsproxy. The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each contained in the nsproxy.

* [PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portableAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli2006-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that: o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe. The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have to specify the ".symbols" o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to specify an offset into a symbol. o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported. However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified, probe registration fails with an -EINVAL. o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't work, say, on powerpc) Signed-off-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* | [PATCH] paravirt: update pte hookZachary Amsden2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a pte_update_hook which notifies about pte changes that have been made without using the set_pte / clear_pte interfaces. This allows shadow mode hypervisors which do not trap on page table access to maintain synchronized shadows. It also turns out, there was one pte update in PAE mode that wasn't using any accessor interface at all for setting NX protection. Considering it is PAE specific, and the accessor is i386 specific, I didn't want to add a generic encapsulation of this behavior yet.

* | [PATCH] paravirt: kpte flushZachary Amsden2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the subsequent flush. This allows the two to be easily combined into a single hypercall or paravirt-op. More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for kmap_atomic. Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing a mapping. This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries which may still have valid TLB mappings. This is required for direct mode hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page table or descriptor table page). But it also provides some nicer semantics for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

This patch set does the following: * Add safe_smp_processor_id function to i386 architecture (this function was inspired by the x86_64 function of the same name). * Substitute "smp_processor_id" with the stack overflow-safe "safe_smp_processor_id" in the reboot path to the second kernel. This patch: On the event of a stack overflow critical data that usually resides at the bottom of the stack is likely to be stomped and, consequently, its use should be avoided. In particular, in the i386 and IA64 architectures the macro smp_processor_id ultimately makes use of the "cpu" member of struct thread_info which resides at the bottom of the stack. x86_64, on the other hand, is not affected by this problem because it benefits from the use of the PDA infrastructure. To circumvent this problem I suggest implementing "safe_smp_processor_id()" (it already exists in x86_64) for i386 and IA64 and use it as a replacement for smp_processor_id in the reboot path to the dump capture kernel. This is a possible implementation for i386. Signed-off-by: Fernando Vazquez <fernando@intellilink.co.jp> Looks-reasonable-to: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Acked-by: "Eric W.

* | [PATCH] kill wall_jiffiesAtsushi Nemoto2006-10-01

So we can kill wall_jiffies completely. This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of kill the whole "if" block.

(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* | [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READJason Baron2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't support write only in hardware. While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c: " if (cause < 0) { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC)) goto bad_area; } else if (!cause) { /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */ if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE))) goto bad_area; } else { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)) goto bad_area; } " Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on ia64, x86_64 and x86. Additional discussion: Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings. The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w. Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read on a page can potentially result in a SEGV. According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am suggesting. The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

* | [PATCH] convert i386 Summit subarch to use SRAT info for apicid_to_node callskeith mannthey2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information provided by the SRAT. It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago and was seen as an acceptable fix. The current way of obtaining the nodeid static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid) { return logical_apicid >> 5; } is just not correct for all summit systems/bios. Assuming the apicid matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped out the apicids a set way. Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa. The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT table during boot. It lays out what apicid belongs to what node. I use this information to create a table for use at run time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IA32 manual says if micorcode update's size is 0, then the size is default size (2048 bytes). But this doesn't suggest all microcode update's size should be above 2048 bytes to me. We actually had a microcode update whose size is 1024 bytes. The patch just removed the check.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add sysfs support. Currently each CPU has three microcode related attributes. One is 'version' which shows current ucode version of CPU. Tools can use the attribute do validation or show CPU ucode status. one is 'reload' which allows manually reloading ucode. Another is 'processor_flags', which exports processor flags, so we can write tools to check if CPU has latest ucode. Also add suspend/resume and CPU hotplug support.

* | [PATCH] x86 microcode: using request_firmware to pull microcodeShaohua Li2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using request_firmware to pull ucode from userspace, so we don't need the application 'microcode_ctl' to assist. We name each ucode file according to CPU's info as intel-ucode/family-model-stepping. In this way we could split ucode file as small one. This has a lot of advantages such as selectively update and validate microcode for specific models, better manage microcode file, easily write tools for administerators and so on. with the changes, we should put all intel-ucode/xx-xx-xx microcode files into the firmware dir (I had a tool to split previous big data file into small one and later we will release new style data file).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor the event processing (syslog messaging and rate limiting) into separate file therm_throt.c. This allows consistent reporting of CPU thermal throttle events. After ACK'ing the interrupt, if the event is current, the user (p4.c/mce_intel.c) calls therm_throt_process to log (and rate limit) the event. If that function returns 1, the user has the option to log things further (such as to mce_log in x86_64).

| * [PATCH] x86: Allow disabling early pci scans with pci=noearly or disallowing ↵Andi Kleen2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | conf1 Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses happen for some non existent devices. i386/x86-64 do some early device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early accesses which are always type1. This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter. I don't think this can break anything because it only changes a single global that is only used by PCI.

| * [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinderJan Beulich2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore. This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16 unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame [AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes, bug reports come in where we've had an oops, and the only record we have is what the reporter saw on screen shortly before the system locked up completely. Unfortunatly, syslog only prints lines beginning with KERN_EMERG to the console, so some lines get lost. An example of this can be seen at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203723 Some of this information isn't vital to diagnosis, but some parts are useful, such as the tainted flag.
