* [PATCH] x86-64: use proper VM_FAULT_xxx macrosAlexander Nyberg2005-08-04

* [PATCH] x86_64: avoid wasting IRQs patch updateNatalie.Protasevich@unisys.com2005-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch adds boundary check for the MAX_GSI_NUM. Same as the update for i386, the patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI IRQ. The patch corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is avoided. The VIA chipset uses 4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

* [PATCH] Fix sync_tsc hangEric W. Biederman2005-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sync_tsc was using smp_call_function to ask the boot processor to report it's tsc value. smp_call_function performs an IPI_send_allbutself which is a broadcast ipi. There is a window during processor startup during which the target cpu has started and before it has initialized it's interrupt vectors so it can properly process an interrupt. Receveing an interrupt during that window will triple fault the cpu and do other nasty things. Why cli does not protect us from that is beyond me. The simple fix is to match ia64 and provide a smp_call_function_single. Which avoids the broadcast and is more efficient. This certainly fixes the problem of getting stuck on boot which was very easy to trigger on my SMP Hyperthreaded Xeon, and I think it fixes it for the right reasons.

* [PATCH] x86_64 machine_kexec: Cleanup inline assembly.Eric W. Biederman2005-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In an uncensored copy of code from i386 to x86_64 I wound up with inline assembly with the wrong constraints. Use input constraints instead of output constraints. So I know the assembler will do the right thing specify the size of the operand lidtq and lgdtq instead of just lidt and lgdt. Make load_segments use an input constraint, and delete the macro fun. Without having to reload %cs like I do on i386 this code is noticeably simpler. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] x86_64: cpu hotplug changes kills nmi watchdogAlexander Nyberg2005-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the x86_64 cpu hotplug changes went in it added a check in default_do_nmi() which kills NMI delivery on any CPU but the BSP. The NMI watchdog is brought up quite some time before the online bit is set in num_online_cpus so this won't work very well. The nmi watchdogs on cpus that are not BSP will never be reprogrammed and no NMIs. Why was this check added? How does an offlined cpu receive an NMI?

* [CRYPTO] Add x86_64 asm AESAndreas Steinmetz2005-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implementation: =============== The encrypt/decrypt code is based on an x86 implementation I did a while ago which I never published. This unpublished implementation does include an assembler based key schedule and precomputed tables. For simplicity and best acceptance, however, I took Gladman's in-kernel code for table generation and key schedule for the kernel port of my assembler code and modified this code to produce the key schedule as required by my assembler implementation. File locations and Kconfig are kept similar to the i586 AES assembler implementation. It may seem a little bit strange to use 32 bit I/O and registers in the assembler implementation but this gives the best code size. My implementation takes one instruction more per round compared to Gladman's x86 assembler but it doesn't require any stack for local variables or saved registers and it is less serialized than Gladman's code. Note that all comparisons to Gladman's code were done after my code was implemented. I did only use FIPS PUB 197 for the implementation so my implementation is independent work. If anybody has a better assembler solution for x86_64 I'll be pleased to have my code replaced with the better solution. Testing: ======== The implementation passes the in-kernel crypto testing module and I'm running it without any problems on my laptop where it is mainly used for dm-crypt. Microbenchmark: =============== The microbenchmark was done in userspace with similar compile flags as used during kernel compile. Encrypt/decrypt is about 35% faster than the generic C implementation. As the generic C as well as my assembler implementation are both table I don't really expect that there is much room for further improvements though I'll be glad to be corrected here. The key schedule is about 5% slower than the generic C implementation. This is due to the fact that some more work has to be done in the key schedule routine to fit the schedule to the assembler implementation. Code Size: ========== Encrypt and decrypt are together about 2.1 Kbytes smaller than the generic C implementation which is important with regard to L1 cache usage. The key schedule routine is about 100 bytes larger than the generic C implementation. Data Size: ========== There's no difference in data size requirements between the assembler implementation and the generic C implementation. License: ======== Gladmans's code is dual BSD/GPL whereas my assembler code is GPLv2 only (I'm not going to change the license for my code). So I had to change the module license for the x86_64 aes module from 'Dual BSD/GPL' to 'GPL' to reflect the most restrictive license within the module.

| * [PATCH] seccomp: tsc disableAndrea Arcangeli2005-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for HT but for the L2 cache too. So it's up to you, either you turn it off completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below patch. This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;). People selling the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind. There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied (gettimeofday is forbidden of course). The seccomp environment is completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3 seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished). Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the same time. Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't per-cpu-safe. The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race. So no need to disable irqs in switch_to slow path. Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@cpushare.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
