* [PATCH] x86_64: Avoid EBDA area in early boot allocatorAndi Kleen2006-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on analysis&patch from Robert Hentosch Observed on a Dell PE6850 with 16GB The problem occurs very early on, when the kernel allocates space for the temporary memory map called bootmap. The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region. EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the bootmap is freed it marks the EBDA region as usable. If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range. AK: I redid the original patch. Thanks also to Jan Beulich for spotting some mistakes.

* [PATCH] x86_64: add nmi_exit to die_nmiCorey Minyard2006-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Playing with NMI watchdog on x86_64, I discovered that it didn't do what I expected. It always panic-ed, even when it didn't happen from interrupt context. This patch solves that problem for me. Also, in this case, do_exit() will be called with interrupts disabled, I believe. Would it be wise to also call local_irq_enable() after nmi_exit()? [Yes I added it -AK] Currently, on x86_64, any NMI watchdog timeout will cause a panic because the irq count will always be set to be in an interrupt when do_exit() is called from die_nmi(). If we add nmi_exit() to the die_nmi() call (since the nmi will never exit "normally") it seems to solve this problem. The following small program can be used to trigger the NMI watchdog to reproduce this: main () { iopl(3); for (;;) asm("cli"); } Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] x86_64: fix die_lock nestingCorey Minyard2006-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed this when poking around in this area. The oops_begin() function in x86_64 would only conditionally claim the die_lock if the call is nested, but oops_end() would always release the spinlock. This patch adds a nest count for the die lock so that the release of the lock is only done on the final oops_end().

* [PATCH] x86_64: avoid IRQ0 ioapic pin collisionKimball Murray2006-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device. The patch corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. 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] x86_64: make PC Speaker driver workMikael Pettersson2006-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The PC Speaker driver's ->probe() routine doesn't even get called in the 64-bit kernels. The reason for that is that the arch code apparently has to explictly add a "pcspkr" platform device in order for the driver core to call the ->probe() routine. arch/i386/kernel/setup.c unconditionally adds a "pcspkr" device, but the x86_64 kernel has no code at all related to the PC Speaker. The patch below copies the relevant code from i386 to x86_64, which makes the PC Speaker work for me on x86_64.

This still races with other simultaneous alloc_iommu or free_iommu(size > 1) which both use bus-unlocked operations.

* [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processesAndi Kleen2006-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction state of other processes. This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as being different from Intel before. The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to clear FOP/FIP/FDP. This means other processes always will only see a constant value defined by the kernel in their FP state. I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low. Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs who don't need it. Patch for both i386/x86-64. The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution from Jan.

* [PATCH] No arch-specific strpbrk implementationsKyle McMartin2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't being exported from lib/string.c. Investigating further, I noticed a changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more architectures. The justification was that "other arches do it." I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines __HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it themselves. Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

* [PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFTYasunori Goto2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5 NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy. SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's number. This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary. On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2 config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It would be simpler.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Plug GS leak in arch_prctl()John Blackwood2006-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In linux-2.6.16, we have noticed a problem where the gs base value returned from an arch_prtcl(ARCH_GET_GS, ...) call will be incorrect if: - the current/calling task has NOT set its own gs base yet to a non-zero value, - some other task that ran on the same processor previously set their own gs base to a non-zero value. In this situation, the ARCH_GET_GS code will read and return the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE msr register. However, since the __switch_to() code does NOT load/zero the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE register when the task that is switched IN has a zero next->gs value, the caller of arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_GS, ...) will get back the value of some previous tasks's gs base value instead of 0. Change the arch_prctl() ARCH_GET_GS code to only read and return the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE msr register if the 'gs' register of the calling task is non-zero. Side note: Since in addition to using arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_GS, ...), a task can also setup a gs base value by using modify_ldt() and write an index value into 'gs' from user space, the patch below reads 'gs' instead of using thread.gs, since in the modify_ldt() case, the thread.gs value will be 0, and incorrect value would be returned (the task->thread.gs value). When the user has not set its own gs base value and the 'gs' register is zero, then the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE register will not be read and a value of zero will be returned by reading and returning 'task->thread.gs'. The first patch shown below is an attempt at implementing this approach. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | Rename e820_mapped to e820_any_mapped since it tests if any part of the range is mapped according to the type. Later steps will introduce e820_all_mapped which will check if the entire range is mapped with the type. Both have their merit.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Handle empty PXMs that only contain hotplug memoryAndi Kleen2006-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The node setup code would try to allocate the node metadata in the node itself, but that fails if there is no memory in there. This can happen with memory hotplug when the hotplug area defines an so far empty node. Now use bootmem to try to allocate the mem_map in other nodes. And if it fails don't panic, but just ignore the node. To make this work I added a new __alloc_bootmem_nopanic function that does what its name implies. TBD should try to use nearby nodes here. Currently we just use any. It's hard to do it better because bootmem doesn't have proper fallback lists yet. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] x86_64: Reserve SRAT hotadd memory on x86-64Andi Kleen2006-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Keith Mannthey, Andi Kleen Implement memory hotadd without sparsemem. The memory in the SRAT hotadd area is just preserved instead and can be activated later. There are a few restrictions: - Only one continuous hotadd area allowed per node The main problem is dealing with the many buggy SRAT tables that are out there. The strategy here is to reject anything suspicious. Originally from Keith Mannthey, with several hacks and changes by AK and also contributions from Andrew Morton [ TBD: Problems pointed out by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>: 1) Goto's rebuild_zonelist patch will not work if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n. Rebuilding zonelist is necessary when the system has just memory < 4G at boot, and hot add memory > 4G. because x86_64 has DMA32, ZONE_NORAML is not included into zonelist at boot time if system doesn't have memory >4G at boot. [AK: should just force the higher zones at boot time when SRAT tells us] 2) zone and node's spanned_pages and present_pages are not incremented. They should be. For example, our server (ia64/Fujitsu PrimeQuest) can equip memory from 4G to 1T(maybe 2T in future), and SRAT will *always* say we have possible 1T +memory. (Microsoft requires "write all possible memory in SRAT") When we reserve memmap for possible 1T memory, Linux will not work well in +minimum 4G configuraion ;) [AK: needs limiting to 5-10% of max memory] ] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] x86_64: Support memory hotadd without sparsememAndi Kleen2006-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | Memory hotadd doesn't need SPARSEMEM, but can be handled by just preallocating mem_maps. This only needs some untangling of ifdefs to enable the necessary code even without SPARSEMEM. Originally from Keith Mannthey, hacked by AK.

* [PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]OGAWA Hirofumi2006-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit. This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

* [PATCH] Mark unwind info for signal trampolines in vDSOsJakub Jelinek2006-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mark unwind info for signal trampolines using the new S augmentation flag introduced in: http://gcc.gnu.org/PR26208. GCC 4.2 (or patched earlier GCC) will be able to special case unwinding through frames right above signal trampolines. As the augmentations start with z flag and S is at the very end of the augmentation string, older GCCs will just skip the S flag as unknown (that's why an augmentation flag was chosen over say a new CFA opcode).
