| | * x86/paravirt: remove lazy mode in interruptsJeremy Fitzhardinge2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: simplification, robustness Make paravirt_lazy_mode() always return PARAVIRT_LAZY_NONE when in an interrupt. This prevents interrupt code from accidentally inheriting an outer lazy state, and instead does everything synchronously. Outer batched operations are left deferred.

For now, only the software pagefault events provide data addresses, but in the future power might as well for some events. x86 doesn't seem capable of providing this atm.

* x86, mm: fault.c, give another attempt at prefetch handing before SIGBUSIngo Molnar2009-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: extend prefetch handling on 64-bit Currently there's an extra is_prefetch() check done in do_sigbus(), which we only do on 32 bits. This is a last-ditch check before we terminate a task, so it's worth giving prefetch instructions another chance - should none of our existing quirks have caught a prefetch instruction related spurious fault. The only risk is if a prefetch causes a real sigbus, in that case we'll not OOM but try another fault. But this code has been on 32-bit for a long time, so it should be fine in practice. So do this on 64-bit too - and thus remove one more #ifdef. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* x86, mm: fault.c, remove #ifdef from fault_in_kernel_space()Ingo Molnar2009-02-20

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup Rename TASK_SIZE64 to TASK_SIZE_MAX, and provide the define on 32-bit too.

* x86, mm: fault.c, remove #ifdef from do_page_fault()Ingo Molnar2009-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup do_page_fault() has this ugly #ifdef in its prototype: #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64 asmlinkage #endif void __kprobes do_page_fault(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long error_code) Replace it with 'dotraplinkage' which maps to exactly the above construct: nothing on 32-bit and asmlinkage on 64-bit.

* x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops handlingIngo Molnar2009-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: add oops-recursion check to 32-bit Unify the oops state-machine, to the 64-bit version. It is slightly more careful in that it does a recursion check in oops_begin(), and is thus more likely to show the relevant oops. It also means that 32-bit will print one more line at the end of pagefault triggered oopses: printk(KERN_EMERG "CR2: %016lx\n", address); Which is generally good information to be seen in partial-dump digital-camera jpegs ;-) The downside is the somewhat more complex critical path. Both variants have been tested well meanwhile by kernel developers crashing their boxes so i dont think this is a practical worry. This removes 3 ugly #ifdefs from no_context() and makes the function a lot nicer read. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops printingIngo Molnar2009-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: refine/extend page fault related oops printing on 64-bit - honor the pause_on_oops logic on 64-bit too - print out NX fault warnings on 64-bit as well - factor out the NX fault message to make it git-greppable and readable Note that this means that we do the PF_INSTR check on 32-bit non-PAE as well where it should not occur ... normally.

* x86, mm: fault.c, enable PF_RSVD checks on 32-bit tooIngo Molnar2009-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: improve page fault handling robustness The 'PF_RSVD' flag (bit 3) of the page-fault error_code is a relatively recent addition to x86 CPUs, so the 32-bit do_fault() implementation never had it. This flag gets set when the CPU detects nonzero values in any reserved bits of the page directory entries. Extend the existing 64-bit check for PF_RSVD in do_page_fault() to 32-bit too. If we detect such a fault then we print a more informative oops and the pagetables. This unifies the code some more, removes an ugly #ifdef and improves the 32-bit page fault code robustness a bit. It slightly increases the 32-bit kernel text size. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Also, simplify the code flow a tiny bit in the helper.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on bad PMD permissions If the PMD does not have the correct permissions for a page access, but the PTE does, the spurious fault handler will mistake the fault as a lazy TLB transaction. This will result in an infinite loop of: fault -> spurious_fault check (pass) -> return to code -> fault This patch adds a check and a warn on if the PTE passes the permissions but the PMD does not.

I consider this actually to be somewhat of a cleanup too: the main function now contains about half the number of lines so the normal path is easier to read, while the error cases are also nicely split away. Also, ensure the order of arguments to functions is always the same: regs, addr, error_code. This can reduce code size a tiny bit, and just looks neater too. And add a couple of branch annotations. Before: do_page_fault: subq $360, %rsp #, After: do_page_fault: subq $56, %rsp #, bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 8/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 2222/-1680 (542) function old new delta __bad_area_nosemaphore - 506 +506 no_context - 474 +474 vmalloc_fault - 424 +424 spurious_fault - 358 +358 mm_fault_error - 272 +272 bad_area_access_error - 89 +89 bad_area - 89 +89 bad_area_nosemaphore - 10 +10 do_page_fault 2464 784 -1680 Yes, the total size increases by 542 bytes, due to the extra function calls. But these will very rarely be called (except for vmalloc_fault) in a normal workload. Importantly, do_page_fault is less than 1/3rd it's original size, and touches far less stack. Existing gotos and branch hints did move a lot of the infrequently used text out of the fastpath, but that's even further improved after this patch.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ajith Kumar noticed: I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function. pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address); Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k). However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd = pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd = pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address); We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

| * mm: invoke oom-killer from page faultNick Piggin2009-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer. With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups, oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling, panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting process at page fault time. Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call into instead. Only converted x86 and uml so far.

| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change oops_end such that signr=0 signals that do_exit is not to be called. Currently, each use of __die is soon followed by a call to oops_end and 'regs' is set to NULL if oops_end is expected not to call do_exit. Change all such pairs to set signr=0 instead. On x86_64 oops_end is used 'bare' in die_nmi; use signr=0 instead of regs=NULL there, too.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.
