One of the things learned from analyzing the result of the previous patch is that in general, gcc is really good at proving that the code contains sufficient security checks to not need to do a runtime check. But that for those cases where gcc could not prove this, there was a relatively high percentage of real security issues. This patch turns the case of "gcc cannot prove" into a compile time warning, as long as a sufficiently new gcc is in use that supports this. The objective is that these warnings will trigger developers checking new cases out before a security hole enters a linux kernel release.

| * | | | x86: Use __builtin_memset and __builtin_memcpy for memset/memcpyArjan van de Ven2009-09-28

For the "unknown" cases, it'll fall back to our current existing functions, but for fixed size versions it'll inline something smart. Quite often that will be the same as we have now, but sometimes it can do something smarter (for example, if the code then sets the first member of a struct, it can do a shorter memset). In addition, and this is more important, gcc knows which registers and such are not clobbered (while for our asm version it pretty much acts like a compiler barrier), so for various cases it can avoid reloading values. The effect on codesize is shown below on my typical laptop .config: text data bss dec hex filename 5605675 2041100 6525148 14171923 d83f13 vmlinux.before 5595849 2041668 6525148 14162665 d81ae9 vmlinux.after Due to some not-so-good behavior in the gcc 3.x series, this change is only done for GCC 4.x and above.

If the buffer size is not known at compile time, a constant -1 is returned. This patch uses this feature to add a sanity check to copy_from_user(); if the target buffer is known to be smaller than the copy size, the copy is aborted and a WARNing is emitted in memory debug mode. These extra checks compile away when the object size is not known, or if both the buffer size and the copy length are constants.

This type depends on MAX_APICS parameter which may be huge enough. Especially it became a problem with apic NOOP driver which is portable between 32 bit and 64 bit environment (where we have really huge MAX_APICS). So apic driver should operate with pointers and a caller in turn should aware of allocation physid_mask_t variable. As a side (but positive) effect -- we may use already implemented physid_set_mask_of_physid function eliminating default_apicid_to_cpu_present completely. Note that physids_coerce and physids_promote turned into static inline from macro (since macro hides the fact that parameter is being interpreted as unsigned long, make it explicit).

But this attempt will fail if the irq is recently moved to this cpu and the irq still hasn't arrived at this cpu (for non intr-remapping platforms this is when we free the vector allocation at the previous destination) that is about to go offline. This will endup with the interrupt subsystem still pointing the irq to the offline cpu, causing that irq to not work any more. Fix this by forcing the irq to complete its move (its been a long time we moved the irq to this cpu which we are offlining now) and then move this irq to a new cpu before this cpu goes offline.

As long as this move_cleanup_count is non-zero (i.e., as long as we have n't freed the vector allocations on the old destinations) we were preventing the irq's further migration. This cleanup count is unnecessary and it is enough to not allow the irq migration till we send the cleanup vector to the previous irq destination, for which we already have irq_cfg's move_in_progress. All we need to make sure is that we free the vector at the old desintation but we don't need to wait till that gets freed.

Unfortunately AP bringup sequence using INIT-SIPI-SIPI clears all the LVT entries except the mask bit. Essentially this results in all LVT entries including the thermal monitoring interrupt set to masked (clearing the bios programmed value for APIC_LVTTHMR). And this leads to kernel take over the thermal monitoring interrupt on AP's but not on BSP (leaving the bios programmed value only on BSP). As a result of this, we have seen system hangs when the thermal monitoring interrupt is generated. Fix this by reading the initial value of thermal LVT entry on BSP and if bios has taken over the control, then program the same value on all AP's and leave the thermal monitoring interrupt control on all the logical cpu's to the bios.

Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc.. The new layering is now made as follows: ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall \ | / / \ | / / / Core breakpoint API / / | / | / Breakpoints perf events | | Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling (Part of core breakpoint API) | | Hardware debug registers Reasons of this rewrite: - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling, implying an easier arch integration - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...) Impact: - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per thread breakpoints references. Todo (in the order): - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement perf_bpcounter_event()) - Support from perf tools Changes in v2: - Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch Changes in v3: - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. Changes in v4: - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) Changes in v5: - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up address registers. - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c Changes in v6: - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

This includes execution breakpoints and read/write breakpoints, also known as "watchpoints". This patch introduces header files containing constants, structure definitions and declaration of functions used by the hardware breakpoint core and x86 specific code. It also introduces an array based storage for the debug-register values in 'struct thread_struct', while modifying all users of debugreg<n> member in the structure.
