| * [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezingChristoph Lameter2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h: frozen(process) Check for frozen process freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator) thaw_process(process) Restart process frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now 2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all kernel sources except sched.h 3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver 4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls. 5. Some whitespace cleanup 6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check PF_FROZEN). This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe! Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* | [PATCH] kdump: Use real pt_regs from exceptionAlexander Nyberg2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Makes kexec_crashdump() take a pt_regs * as an argument. This allows to get exact register state at the point of the crash. If we come from direct panic assertion NULL will be passed and the current registers saved before crashdump. This hooks into two places: die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal fault. die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the pt_regs and go directly to crash_kexec(). We're probably nested up badly at this point so this might be the only chance to escape with proper information.

* | [PATCH] crashdump: x86_64: crashkernel optionEric W. Biederman2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the x86_64 implementation of the crashkernel option. It reserves a window of memory very early in the bootup process, so we never use it for anything but the kernel to switch to when the running kernel panics. In addition to reserving this memory a resource structure is registered so looking at /proc/iomem it is clear what happened to that memory. ISSUES: Is it possible to implement this in a architecture generic way? What should be done with architectures that always use an iommu and thus don't report their RAM memory resources in /proc/iomem?

* | [PATCH] kexec: x86_64: add CONFIG_PHYSICAL_STARTEric W. Biederman2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For one kernel to report a crash another kernel has created we need to have 2 kernels loaded simultaneously in memory. To accomplish this the two kernels need to built to run at different physical addresses. This patch adds the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option to the x86_64 kernel so we can do just that. You need to know what you are doing and the ramifications are before changing this value, and most users won't care so I have made it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED bzImage kernels will work and run at a different address when compiled with this option but they will still load at 1MB. If you need a kernel loaded at a different address as well you need to boot a vmlinux.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vmlinux on x86_64 does not report the correct physical address of the kernel. Instead in the physical address field it currently reports the virtual address of the kernel. This is patch is a bug fix that corrects vmlinux to report the proper physical addresses. This is potentially a help for crash dump analysis tools. This definitiely allows bootloaders that load vmlinux as a standard ELF executable. Bootloaders directly loading vmlinux become of practical importance when we consider the kexec on panic case.

* | [PATCH] kexec: x86_64: restore apic virtual wire mode on shutdownEric W. Biederman2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When coming out of apic mode attempt to set the appropriate apic back into virtual wire mode. This improves on previous versions of this patch by by never setting bot the local apic and the ioapic into veritual wire mode. This code looks at data from the mptable to see if an ioapic has an ExtInt input to make this decision. A future improvement is to figure out which apic or ioapic was in virtual wire mode at boot time and to remember it. That is potentially a more accurate method, of selecting which apic to place in virutal wire mode.

Again, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use. - include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races with NMIs. As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it... - include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this comment is for list_del_rcu(). - security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side. - security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.

* | [PATCH] x86_64: Dont use broadcast shortcut to make it cpu hotplug safe.Ashok Raj2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug. CPU's in offline state also end up receiving the IPI. Once the cpus become online they receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour. This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the CPU's in online map. Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64 systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the API's. The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway. Its simpler to just not use broadcast anymore.

* [PATCH] Move kprobe [dis]arming into arch specific codeRusty Lynch2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is arming and disarming kprobes at registration time. The problem is that the code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write of some magic value to an address. This is problematic for ia64 where our instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points by just doing something like: *p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION; The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent functions: * void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) * void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64). I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe() function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So... I took the liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing with the recursive kprobe case. So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still needs to be tested in sparc64.

* [PATCH] x86_64 specific function return probesRusty Lynch2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch adds the x86_64 architecture specific implementation for function return probes. Function return probes is a mechanism built on top of kprobes that allows a caller to register a handler to be called when a given function exits. For example, to instrument the return path of sys_mkdir: static int sys_mkdir_exit(struct kretprobe_instance *i, struct pt_regs *regs) { printk("sys_mkdir exited\n"); return 0; } static struct kretprobe return_probe = { .handler = sys_mkdir_exit, }; <inside setup function> return_probe.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t *) kallsyms_lookup_name("sys_mkdir"); if (register_kretprobe(&return_probe)) { printk(KERN_DEBUG "Unable to register return probe!\n"); /* do error path */ } <inside cleanup function> unregister_kretprobe(&return_probe); The way this works is that: * At system initialization time, kernel/kprobes.c installs a kprobe on a function called kretprobe_trampoline() that is implemented in the arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c (More on this later) * When a return probe is registered using register_kretprobe(), kernel/kprobes.c will install a kprobe on the first instruction of the targeted function with the pre handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c. * arch_prepare_kretprobe() will prepare a kretprobe instance that stores: - nodes for hanging this instance in an empty or free list - a pointer to the return probe - the original return address - a pointer to the stack address With all this stowed away, arch_prepare_kretprobe() then sets the return address for the targeted function to a special trampoline function called kretprobe_trampoline() implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c * The kprobe completes as normal, with control passing back to the target function that executes as normal, and eventually returns to our trampoline function. * Since a kprobe was installed on kretprobe_trampoline() during system initialization, control passes back to kprobes via the architecture specific function trampoline_probe_handler() which will lookup the instance in an hlist maintained by kernel/kprobes.c, and then call the handler function. * When trampoline_probe_handler() is done, the kprobes infrastructure single steps the original instruction (in this case just a top), and then calls trampoline_post_handler(). trampoline_post_handler() then looks up the instance again, puts the instance back on the free list, and then makes a long jump back to the original return instruction. So to recap, to instrument the exit path of a function this implementation will cause four interruptions: - A breakpoint at the very beginning of the function allowing us to switch out the return address - A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow) - A breakpoint in the trampoline function where our instrumented function returned to - A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow) Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] x86_64: avoid wasting IRQsNatalie Protasevich2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I suggest to change the way IRQs are handed out to PCI devices. Currently, each I/O APIC pin gets associated with an IRQ, no matter if the pin is used or not. It is expected that each pin can potentually be engaged by a device inserted into the corresponding PCI slot. However, this imposes severe limitation on systems that have designs that employ many I/O APICs, only utilizing couple lines of each, such as P64H2 chipset. It is used in ES7000, and currently, there is no way to boot the system with more that 9 I/O APICs. The simple change below allows to boot a system with say 64 (or more) I/O APICs, each providing 1 slot, which otherwise impossible because of the IRQ gaps created for unused lines on each I/O APIC. It does not resolve the problem with number of devices that exceeds number of possible IRQs, but eases up a tension for IRQs on any large system with potentually large number of devices. I only implemented this for the ACPI boot, since if the system is this big and using newer chipsets it is probably (better be!) an ACPI based system :). The change is completely "mechanical" and does not alter any internal structures or interrupt model/implementation. The patch works for both i386 and x86_64 archs. It works with MSIs just fine, and should not intervene with implementations like shared vectors, when they get worked out and incorporated. To illustrate, below is the interrupt distribution for 2-cell ES7000 with 20 I/O APICs, and an Ethernet card in the last slot, which should be eth1 and which was not configured because its IRQ exceeded allowable number (it actially turned out huge - 480!): zorro-tb2:~ # cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7 0: 65716 30012 30007 30002 30009 30010 30010 30010 IO-APIC-edge timer 4: 373 0 725 280 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge serial 8: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 9: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level acpi 14: 39 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge ide0 16: 108 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb1 18: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb3 19: 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb2 23: 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd:usb4 96: 4240 397 18 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx 97: 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx 192: 847 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level eth0 NMI: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LOC: 273423 274528 272829 274228 274092 273761 273827 273694 ERR: 7 MIS: 0 Even though the system doesn't have that many devices, some don't get enabled only because of IRQ numbering model.

* [PATCH] x86_64: never block forced SIGSEGVRoland McGrath2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the x86_64 version of the signal fix I just posted for i386. This problem was first noticed on PPC and has already been fixed there. But the exact same issue applies to other platforms in the same way. The signal blocking for sa_mask and the handled signal takes place after the handler setup. When the stack is bogus, the handler setup forces a SIGSEGV. But then this will be blocked, and returning to user mode will fault again and iterate. This patch fixes the problem by checking whether signal handler setup failed, and not doing the signal-blocking if so. This copies what was done in the ppc code. I think all architectures' signal handler setup code follows this pattern and needs the change.

* [PATCH] x86_64: fix hpet for systems that don't support legacy replacementjohn stultz2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the x86-64 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from the spec is present. This breaks on boxes that do not implement the optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec. This patch fixes this issue, allowing x86-64 systems that cannot use the HPET for the timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source. I've tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement. This version adds a minor check to cap the HPET counter value in gettimeoffset_hpet to avoid possible time inconsistencies. Please ignore the A2 version I sent to you earlier.

* [PATCH] Platform SMIs and their interferance with tsc based delay calibrationVenkatesh Pallipadi2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Issue: Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs (System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6 kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things like legacy keyboard emulation). Description: The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like (0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy (1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough) (2) wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1) (3) Note down current tsc (tsc1) (4) loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy (5) check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine loops_per_jiffy estimate Consider the following cases Case 1: If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified interval). Case 2: If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic(). Solution: The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to user. Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine.

* [PATCH] use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.shIan Campbell2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch causes the various arch specific install.sh scripts to look for ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel rather than just installkernel (in both /sbin/ and ~/bin/ where the script already did this). This allows you to have e.g. arm-linux-installkernel as a handy way to install on your cross target. It also prevents the script picking up on the host /sbin/installkernel which causes the script to fall through and do the install itself (which is what I actually use myself, with $INSTALL_PATH set). I don't believe it causes back-compatibility problems since calling the host installkernel was never likely to work or be what you wanted when cross compiling anyway. If $CROSS_COMPILE isn't set then nothing changes. I only use ARM and i386 myself but I figured it couldn't hurt to do the whole lot.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds in the necessary support for sparsemem such that x86-64 kernels may use sparsemem as an alternative to discontigmem for NUMA kernels. Note that this does no preclude one from continuing to build NUMA kernels using discontigmem, but merely allows the option to build NUMA kernels with sparsemem.

* [PATCH] Avoiding mmap fragmentationWolfgang Wander2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and causes huge performance increases in thread creation. The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6 kernel. The problem is twofold: 1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where the last search ended. Before the change new areas were always searched from the base address on. So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base large and available for larger requests. 2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of 1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation. The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the current free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead. The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my (earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely (as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads requires 0.7s system time. Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in /proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads. Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

* [PATCH] smp_processor_id() cleanupIngo Molnar2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that Arjan van de Ven and I came up with. The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the usage side. Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined __smp_processor_id. In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols: - smp_processor_id(): debug variant. - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h. There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT: - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to smp_processor_id(). Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or clarified. I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86: {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT} I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Appended patch will setup compatibility mode TASK_SIZE properly. This will fix atleast three known bugs that can be encountered while running compatibility mode apps. a) A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page. And instead of exec failing (as it has addresses > TASK_SIZE), we were allowing it to succeed previously. b) With a 32bit app, hugetlb_get_unmapped_area/arch_get_unmapped_area may return addresses beyond 32bits, ultimately causing corruption because of wrap-around and resulting in SEGFAULT, instead of returning ENOMEM. c) 32bit app doing this below mmap will now fail. mmap((void *)(0xFFFFE000UL), 0x10000UL, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, 0, 0); Signed-off-by: Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
