x86, crash: wrap crash dumping code into crash related ifdefs Now crash codes under kernel/ folder has been split out from kexec code, crash dumping can be separated from kexec reboot in config items on x86 with some adjustments. Here, also change some ifdefs or IS_ENABLED() check to more appropriate ones, e,g - #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE -> #ifdef CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP - (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE)) - > (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE)) [bhe@redhat.com: don't nest CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdef inside CONFIG_KEXEC_CODE ifdef scope] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/SN6PR02MB4157931105FA68D72E3D3DB8D47B2@SN6PR02MB4157.namprd02.prod.outlook.com/T/#u Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240124051254.67105-7-bhe@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Eric W.

crash: split vmcoreinfo exporting code out from crash_core.c Now move the relevant codes into separate files: kernel/crash_reserve.c, include/linux/crash_reserve.h. And add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling. And also update the old ifdeffery of CONFIG_CRASH_CORE, including of <linux/crash_core.h> and config item dependency on CRASH_CORE accordingly. And also do renaming as follows: - arch/xxx/kernel/{crash_core.c => vmcore_info.c} because they are only related to vmcoreinfo exporting on x86, arm64, riscv. And also Remove config item CRASH_CORE, and rely on CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE to decide if build in crash_core.c.

x86/boot/32: Disable stackprotector and tracing for mk_early_pgtbl_32() Stackprotector cannot work before paging is enabled. The read from the per CPU variable __stack_chk_guard is always accessing the virtual address either directly on UP or via FS on SMP. In physical address mode this results in an access to memory above 3GB. So this works by chance as the hardware returns the same value when there is no RAM at this physical address. When there is RAM populated above 3G then the read is by chance the same as nothing changes that memory during the very early boot stage. Stop relying on pure luck and disable the stack protector for the only C function which is called during early boot before paging is enabled. Remove function tracing from the whole source file as there is no way to trace this at all, but in case of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n mk_early_pgtbl_32() would access global function tracer variables in physical address mode which again might work by chance.

x86/ibt: Convert IBT selftest to asm The following warning is reported when frame pointers and kernel IBT are enabled: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ibt_selftest+0x11: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame The problem is that objtool interprets the indirect branch in ibt_selftest() as a sibling call, and GCC inserts a (partial) frame pointer prologue before it: 0000 000000000003f550 <ibt_selftest>: 0000 3f550: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64 0004 3f554: e8 00 00 00 00 call 3f559 <ibt_selftest+0x9> 3f555: R_X86_64_PLT32 __fentry__-0x4 0009 3f559: 55 push %rbp 000a 3f55a: 48 8d 05 02 00 00 00 lea 0x2(%rip),%rax # 3f563 <ibt_selftest_ip> 0011 3f561: ff e0 jmp *%rax Note the inline asm is missing ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT, so the 'push %rbp' happens before the indirect branch and the 'mov %rsp, %rbp' happens afterwards.

x86/kernel: increase kcov coverage under arch/x86/kernel folder Currently kcov instrument is disabled for object files under arch/x86/kernel folder. For object files under arch/x86/kernel, actually just disabling the kcov instrument of files:"head32.o or head64.o and sev.o" could achieve successful booting and provide kcov coverage for object files that do not disable kcov instrument. The additional kcov coverage collected from arch/x86/kernel folder helps kernel fuzzing efforts to find bugs.

x86/callthunks: Add call patching for call depth tracking Mitigating the Intel SKL RSB underflow issue in software requires to track the call depth. That is every CALL and every RET need to be intercepted and additional code injected. The existing retbleed mitigations already include means of redirecting RET to __x86_return_thunk; this can be re-purposed and RET can be redirected to another function doing RET accounting. CALL accounting will use the function padding introduced in prior patches. For each CALL instruction, the destination symbol's padding is rewritten to do the accounting and the CALL instruction is adjusted to call into the padding. This ensures only affected CPUs pay the overhead of this accounting. Unaffected CPUs will leave the padding unused and have their 'JMP __x86_return_thunk' replaced with an actual 'RET' instruction. Objtool has been modified to supply a .call_sites section that lists all the 'CALL' instructions. Additionally the paravirt instruction sites are iterated since they will have been patched from an indirect call to direct calls (or direct instructions in which case it'll be ignored). Module handling and the actual thunk code for SKL will be added in subsequent steps.

kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments: - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place them before other archives in the linker command line. - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a. This commit gets rid of the latter. Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'. With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y for builtin objects. There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py. $(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug.

x86/ftrace: Remove OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD usage The file-wide OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD annotation is used with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to tell objtool to skip the entire file when frame pointers are enabled. However that annotation is now deprecated because it doesn't work with IBT, where objtool runs on vmlinux.o instead of individual translation units. Instead, use more fine-grained function-specific annotations: - The 'save_mcount_regs' macro does funny things with the frame pointer. Use STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD_FP to tell objtool to ignore the functions using it. - The return_to_handler() "function" isn't actually a callable function. Instead of being called, it's returned to. The real return address isn't on the stack, so unwinding is already doomed no matter which unwinder is used. So just remove the STT_FUNC annotation, telling objtool to ignore it. That also removes the implicit ANNOTATE_NOENDBR, which now needs to be made explicit. Fixes the following warning: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __fentry__+0x16: return with modified stack frame Fixes: ed53a0d97192 ("x86/alternative: Use .ibt_endbr_seal to seal indirect calls") Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/b7a7a42fe306aca37826043dac89e113a1acdbac.1654268610.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org

x86/head/64: Re-enable stack protection Due to 103a4908ad4d ("x86/head/64: Disable stack protection for head$(BITS).o") kernel/head{32,64}.c are compiled with -fno-stack-protector to allow a call to set_bringup_idt_handler(), which would otherwise have stack protection enabled with CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG. While sufficient for that case, there may still be issues with calls to any external functions that were compiled with stack protection enabled that in-turn make stack-protected calls, or if the exception handlers set up by set_bringup_idt_handler() make calls to stack-protected functions. Subsequent patches for SEV-SNP CPUID validation support will introduce both such cases. Attempting to disable stack protection for everything in scope to address that is prohibitive since much of the code, like the SEV-ES #VC handler, is shared code that remains in use after boot and could benefit from having stack protection enabled. Attempting to inline calls is brittle and can quickly balloon out to library/helper code where that's not really an option. Instead, re-enable stack protection for head32.c/head64.c, and make the appropriate changes to ensure the segment used for the stack canary is initialized in advance of any stack-protected C calls. For head64.c: - The BSP will enter from startup_64() and call into C code (startup_64_setup_env()) shortly after setting up the stack, which may result in calls to stack-protected code. Set up %gs early to allow for this safely. - APs will enter from secondary_startup_64*(), and %gs will be set up soon after. There is one call to C code prior to %gs being setup (__startup_secondary_64()), but it is only to fetch 'sme_me_mask' global, so just load 'sme_me_mask' directly instead, and remove the now-unused __startup_secondary_64() function. For head32.c: - BSPs/APs will set %fs to __BOOT_DS prior to any C calls. In recent kernels, the compiler is configured to access the stack canary at %fs:__stack_chk_guard [1], which overlaps with the initial per-cpu '__stack_chk_guard' variable in the initial/"master" .data..percpu area. This is sufficient to allow access to the canary for use during initial startup, so no changes are needed there.

But the code is generic enough to be reused by other architectures and can be moved out of the arch/x86 directory.

trace: Add osnoise tracer In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating System Noise (*osnoise*) refers to the interference experienced by an application due to activities inside the operating system. In the context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can also cause noise, for example, via SMIs. The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all the sources of *osnoise* during its execution. Using the same approach of hwlat, osnoise takes note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences, increasing a per-cpu interference counter. The osnoise tracer also saves an interference counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens without any interference from the operating system level, the hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources. Usage Write the ASCII text "osnoise" into the current_tracer file of the tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing). For example:: [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ [root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > current_tracer It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file:: [root@f32 tracing]# cat trace # tracer: osnoise # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth MAX # || / SINGLE Interference counters: # |||| RUNTIME NOISE % OF CPU NOISE +-----------------------------+ # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP IN US IN US AVAILABLE IN US HW NMI IRQ SIRQ THREAD # | | | |||| | | | | | | | | | | <...>-859 [000] .... 81.637220: 1000000 190 99.98100 9 18 0 1007 18 1 <...>-860 [001] .... 81.638154: 1000000 656 99.93440 74 23 0 1006 16 3 <...>-861 [002] .... 81.638193: 1000000 5675 99.43250 202 6 0 1013 25 21 <...>-862 [003] .... 81.638242: 1000000 125 99.98750 45 1 0 1011 23 0 <...>-863 [004] .... 81.638260: 1000000 1721 99.82790 168 7 0 1002 49 41 <...>-864 [005] .... 81.638286: 1000000 263 99.97370 57 6 0 1006 26 2 <...>-865 [006] .... 81.638302: 1000000 109 99.98910 21 3 0 1006 18 1 <...>-866 [007] .... 81.638326: 1000000 7816 99.21840 107 8 0 1016 39 19 In addition to the regular trace fields (from TASK-PID to TIMESTAMP), the tracer prints a message at the end of each period for each CPU that is running an osnoise/CPU thread. The osnoise specific fields report: - The RUNTIME IN USE reports the amount of time in microseconds that the osnoise thread kept looping reading the time. - The NOISE IN US reports the sum of noise in microseconds observed by the osnoise tracer during the associated runtime. - The % OF CPU AVAILABLE reports the percentage of CPU available for the osnoise thread during the runtime window. - The MAX SINGLE NOISE IN US reports the maximum single noise observed during the runtime window. - The Interference counters display how many each of the respective interference happened during the runtime window. Note that the example above shows a high number of HW noise samples. The reason being is that this sample was taken on a virtual machine, and the host interference is detected as a hardware interference. Tracer options The tracer has a set of options inside the osnoise directory, they are: - osnoise/cpus: CPUs at which a osnoise thread will execute. - osnoise/period_us: the period of the osnoise thread. - osnoise/runtime_us: how long an osnoise thread will look for noise. - osnoise/stop_tracing_us: stop the system tracing if a single noise higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this option. - osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us: stop the system tracing if total noise higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this option. - tracing_threshold: the minimum delta between two time() reads to be considered as noise, in us. When set to 0, the default value will be used, which is currently 5 us. Additional Tracing In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to facilitate the identification of the osnoise source. - osnoise:sample_threshold: printed anytime a noise is higher than the configurable tolerance_ns. - osnoise:nmi_noise: noise from NMI, including the duration. - osnoise:irq_noise: noise from an IRQ, including the duration. - osnoise:softirq_noise: noise from a SoftIRQ, including the duration. - osnoise:thread_noise: noise from a thread, including the duration. Note that all the values are *net values*. For example, if while osnoise is running, another thread preempts the osnoise thread, it will start a thread_noise duration at the start. Then, an IRQ takes place, preempting the thread_noise, starting a irq_noise. When the IRQ ends its execution, it will compute its duration, and this duration will be subtracted from the thread_noise, in such a way as to avoid the double accounting of the IRQ execution. This logic is valid for all sources of noise. Here is one example of the usage of these tracepoints:: osnoise/8-961 [008] d.h. 5789.857532: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.857529929 duration 1845 ns osnoise/8-961 [008] dNh. 5789.858408: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.858404871 duration 2848 ns migration/8-54 [008] d... 5789.858413: thread_noise: migration/8:54 start 5789.858409300 duration 3068 ns osnoise/8-961 [008] .... 5789.858413: sample_threshold: start 5789.858404555 duration 8723 ns interferences 2 In this example, a noise sample of 8 microseconds was reported in the last line, pointing to two interferences. Looking backward in the trace, the two previous entries were about the migration thread running after a timer IRQ execution. The first event is not part of the noise because it took place one millisecond before. It is worth noticing that the sum of the duration reported in the tracepoints is smaller than eight us reported in the sample_threshold. The reason roots in the overhead of the entry and exit code that happens before and after any interference execution. This justifies the dual approach: measuring thread and tracing.

livepatch: Remove .klp.arch After the previous patch, vmlinux-specific KLP relocations are now applied early during KLP module load. This means that .klp.arch sections are no longer needed for *vmlinux-specific* KLP relocations. One might think they're still needed for *module-specific* KLP relocations. If a to-be-patched module is loaded *after* its corresponding KLP module is loaded, any corresponding KLP relocations will be delayed until the to-be-patched module is loaded. If any special sections (.parainstructions, for example) rely on those relocations, their initializations (apply_paravirt) need to be done afterwards. Thus the apparent need for arch_klp_init_object_loaded() and its corresponding .klp.arch sections -- it allows some of the special section initializations to be done at a later time. But... if you look closer, that dependency between the special sections and the module-specific KLP relocations doesn't actually exist in reality. Looking at the contents of the .altinstructions and .parainstructions sections, there's not a realistic scenario in which a KLP module's .altinstructions or .parainstructions section needs to access a symbol in a to-be-patched module. It might need to access a local symbol or even a vmlinux symbol; but not another module's symbol. When a special section needs to reference a local or vmlinux symbol, a normal rela can be used instead of a KLP rela. Since the special section initializations don't actually have any real dependency on module-specific KLP relocations, .klp.arch and arch_klp_init_object_loaded() no longer have a reason to exist. So remove them. As Peter said much more succinctly: So the reason for .klp.arch was that .klp.rela.* stuff would overwrite paravirt instructions. If that happens you're doing it wrong. Those RELAs are core kernel, not module, and thus should've happened in .rela.* sections at patch-module loading time. Reverting this removes the two apply_{paravirt,alternatives}() calls from the late patching path, and means we don't have to worry about them when removing module_disable_ro().

x86/entry/32: Use IA32-specific wrappers for syscalls taking 64-bit arguments For the 32-bit syscall interface, 64-bit arguments (loff_t) are passed via a pair of 32-bit registers. These register pairs end up in consecutive stack slots, which matches the C ABI for 64-bit arguments. But when accessing the registers directly from pt_regs, the wrapper needs to manually reassemble the 64-bit value. These wrappers already exist for 32-bit compat, so make them available to 32-bit native in preparation for enabling pt_regs-based syscalls.

x86/crash: Define arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() if CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y On x86 kernels configured with CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n, the vmcoreinfo note in /proc/kcore is incomplete. Specifically, it is missing arch-specific information like the KASLR offset and whether 5-level page tables are enabled. This breaks applications like drgn [1] and crash [2], which need this information for live debugging via /proc/kcore. This happens because: 1. CONFIG_PROC_KCORE selects CONFIG_CRASH_CORE. 2. kernel/crash_core.c (compiled if CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y) calls arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() to get the arch-specific parts of vmcoreinfo. If it is not defined, then it uses a no-op fallback. 3. x86 defines arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() in arch/x86/kernel/machine_kexec_*.c, which is only compiled if CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y. Therefore, an x86 kernel with CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n uses the no-op fallback and gets incomplete vmcoreinfo data. This isn't relevant to kdump, which requires CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. It only affects applications which read vmcoreinfo at runtime, like the ones mentioned above. Fix it by moving arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() into two new arch/x86/kernel/crash_core_*.c files, which are gated behind CONFIG_CRASH_CORE. 1: https://github.com/osandov/drgn/blob/73dd7def1217e24cc83d8ca95c995decbd9ba24c/libdrgn/program.c#L385 2: https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/60a42d709280cdf38ab06327a5b4fa9d9208ef86 Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: "H.

x86/paravirt: Make native_save_fl() extern inline native_save_fl() is marked static inline, but by using it as a function pointer in arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c, it MUST be outlined. paravirt's use of native_save_fl() also requires that no GPRs other than %rax are clobbered. Compilers have different heuristics which they use to emit stack guard code, the emittance of which can break paravirt's callee saved assumption by clobbering %rcx. Marking a function definition extern inline means that if this version cannot be inlined, then the out-of-line version will be preferred. By having the out-of-line version be implemented in assembly, it cannot be instrumented with a stack protector, which might violate custom calling conventions that code like paravirt rely on. The semantics of extern inline has changed since gnu89. This means that folks using GCC versions >= 5.1 may see symbol redefinition errors at link time for subdirs that override KBUILD_CFLAGS (making the C standard used implicit) regardless of this patch. This has been cleaned up earlier in the patch set, but is left as a note in the commit message for future travelers.

x86/jailhouse: Allow to use PCI_MMCONFIG without ACPI Jailhouse does not use ACPI, but it does support MMCONFIG. Make sure the latter can be built without having to enable ACPI as well. Primarily, its required to make the AMD mmconf-fam10h_64 depend upon MMCONFIG and ACPI, instead of just the former. Saves some bytes in the Jailhouse non-root kernel.

x86/ftrace: Fix ORC unwinding from ftrace handlers Steven Rostedt discovered that the ftrace stack tracer is broken when it's used with the ORC unwinder. The problem is that objtool is instructed by the Makefile to ignore the ftrace_64.S code, so it doesn't generate any ORC data for it. Fix it by making the asm code objtool-friendly: - Objtool doesn't like the fact that save_mcount_regs pushes RBP at the beginning, but it's never restored (directly, at least). So just skip the original RBP push, which is only needed for frame pointers anyway. - Annotate some functions as normal callable functions with ENTRY/ENDPROC. - Add an empty unwind hint to return_to_handler(). The return address isn't on the stack, so there's nothing ORC can do there. It will just punt in the unlikely case it tries to unwind from that code. With all that fixed, remove the OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD Makefile annotation so objtool can read the file.

x86/jailhouse: Add infrastructure for running in non-root cell The Jailhouse hypervisor is able to statically partition a multicore system into multiple so-called cells. Linux is used as boot loader and continues to run in the root cell after Jailhouse is enabled. Linux can also run in non-root cells. Jailhouse does not emulate usual x86 devices. It also provides no complex ACPI but basic platform information that the boot loader forwards via setup data. This adds the infrastructure to detect when running in a non-root cell so that the platform can be configured as required in succeeding steps. Support is limited to x86-64 so far, primarily because no boot loader stub exists for i386 and, thus, we wouldn't be able to test the 32-bit path.

x86/umip: Add emulation code for UMIP instructions The feature User-Mode Instruction Prevention present in recent Intel processor prevents a group of instructions (sgdt, sidt, sldt, smsw, and str) from being executed with CPL > 0. Otherwise, a general protection fault is issued. Rather than relaying to the user space the general protection fault caused by the UMIP-protected instructions (in the form of a SIGSEGV signal), it can be trapped and the instruction emulated to provide a dummy result. This allows to both conserve the current kernel behavior and not reveal the system resources that UMIP intends to protect (i.e., the locations of the global descriptor and interrupt descriptor tables, the segment selectors of the local descriptor table, the value of the task state register and the contents of the CR0 register). This emulation is needed because certain applications (e.g., WineHQ and DOSEMU2) rely on this subset of instructions to function. Given that sldt and str are not commonly used in programs that run on WineHQ or DOSEMU2, they are not emulated. Also, emulation is provided only for 32-bit processes; 64-bit processes that attempt to use the instructions that UMIP protects will receive the SIGSEGV signal issued as a consequence of the general protection fault. The instructions protected by UMIP can be split in two groups. Those which return a kernel memory address (sgdt and sidt) and those which return a value (smsw, sldt and str; the last two not emulated). For the instructions that return a kernel memory address, applications such as WineHQ rely on the result being located in the kernel memory space, not the actual location of the table. The result is emulated as a hard-coded value that lies close to the top of the kernel memory. The limit for the GDT and the IDT are set to zero. The instruction smsw is emulated to return the value that the register CR0 has at boot time as set in the head_32. Care is taken to appropriately emulate the results when segmentation is used. That is, rather than relying on USER_DS and USER_CS, the function insn_get_addr_ref() inspects the segment descriptor pointed by the registers in pt_regs. This ensures that we correctly obtain the segment base address and the address and operand sizes even if the user space application uses a local descriptor table.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

x86/kasan: Use the same shadow offset for 4- and 5-level paging We are going to support boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level paging. For KASAN it means we cannot have different KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET for different paging modes: the constant is passed to gcc to generate code and cannot be changed at runtime. This patch changes KASAN code to use 0xdffffc0000000000 as shadow offset for both 4- and 5-level paging. For 5-level paging it means that shadow memory region is not aligned to PGD boundary anymore and we have to handle unaligned parts of the region properly. In addition, we have to exclude paravirt code from KASAN instrumentation as we now use set_pgd() before KASAN is fully ready.

x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinder Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y. It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework. It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections. For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to profiling workloads like perf. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas: splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

mm: add arch-independent testcases for RODATA This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA. Both x86 and x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific because using inline assembly directly. And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build. To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it to shared location.

x86/mm: Remove CONFIG_DEBUG_NX_TEST CONFIG_DEBUG_NX_TEST has been broken since CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y was added in v2.6.37 via: 84e1c6bb38eb ("x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules") since the exception table was then made read-only. Additionally, the manually constructed extables were never fixed when relative extables were introduced in v3.5 via: 706276543b69 ("x86, extable: Switch to relative exception table entries") However, relative extables won't work for test_nx.c, since test instruction memory areas may be more than INT_MAX away from an executable fixup (e.g. stack and heap too far away from executable memory with the fixup). Since clearly no one has been using this code for a while now, and similar tests exist in LKDTM, this should just be removed entirely.

x86/tsc: Store and check TSC ADJUST MSR The TSC_ADJUST MSR shows whether the TSC has been modified. This is helpful in a two aspects: 1) It allows to detect BIOS wreckage, where SMM code tries to 'hide' the cycles spent by storing the TSC value at SMM entry and restoring it at SMM exit. On affected machines the TSCs run slowly out of sync up to the point where the clocksource watchdog (if available) detects it. The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the TSC modification before that and eventually restore it. This is also important for SoCs which have no watchdog clocksource and therefore TSC wreckage cannot be detected and acted upon. 2) All threads in a package are required to have the same TSC_ADJUST value. Broken BIOSes break that and as a result the TSC synchronization check fails. The TSC_ADJUST MSR allows to detect the deviation when a CPU comes online. If detected set it to the value of an already online CPU in the same package. This also allows to reduce the number of sync tests because with that in place the test is only required for the first CPU in a package. In principle all CPUs in a system should have the same TSC_ADJUST value even across packages, but with physical CPU hotplug this assumption is not true because the TSC starts with power on, so physical hotplug has to do some trickery to bring the TSC into sync with already running packages, which requires to use an TSC_ADJUST value different from CPUs which got powered earlier. A final enhancement is the opportunity to compensate for unsynced TSCs accross nodes at boot time and make the TSC usable that way. It won't help for TSCs which run apart due to frequency skew between packages, but this gets detected by the clocksource watchdog later. The first step toward this is to store the TSC_ADJUST value of a starting CPU and compare it with the value of an already online CPU in the same package. If they differ, emit a warning and adjust it to the reference value. The !SMP version just stores the boot value for later verification.

x86: Enable Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 On platforms supporting Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, the maximum turbo frequencies of some cores in a CPU package may be higher than for the other cores in the same package. In that case, better performance (and possibly lower energy consumption as well) can be achieved by making the scheduler prefer to run tasks on the CPUs with higher max turbo frequencies. To that end, set up a core priority metric to abstract the core preferences based on the maximum turbo frequency. In that metric, the cores with higher maximum turbo frequencies are higher-priority than the other cores in the same package and that causes the scheduler to favor them when making load-balancing decisions using the asymmertic packing approach. At the same time, the priority of SMT threads with a higher CPU number is reduced so as to avoid scheduling tasks on all of the threads that belong to a favored core before all of the other cores have been given a task to run. The priority metric will be initialized by the P-state driver with the help of the sched_set_itmt_core_prio() function. The P-state driver will also determine whether or not ITMT is supported by the platform and will call sched_set_itmt_support() to indicate that.

x86/unwind: Add new unwind interface and implementations The x86 stack dump code is a bit of a mess. dump_trace() uses callbacks, and each user of it seems to have slightly different requirements, so there are several slightly different callbacks floating around. Also there are some upcoming features which will need more changes to the stack dump code, including the printing of stack pt_regs, reliable stack detection for live patching, and a DWARF unwinder. Each of those features would at least need more callbacks and/or callback interfaces, resulting in a much bigger mess than what we have today. Before doing all that, we should try to clean things up and replace dump_trace() with something cleaner and more flexible. The new unwinder is a simple state machine which was heavily inspired by a suggestion from Andy Lutomirski: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrUbNTqaM2LRyXGRx=kVLRPeY5A3Pc6k4TtQxF320rUT=w@mail.gmail.com It's also similar to the libunwind API: http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/man/libunwind(3).html Some if its advantages: - Simplicity: no more callback sprawl and less code duplication. - Flexibility: it allows the caller to stop and inspect the stack state at each step in the unwinding process. - Modularity: the unwinder code, console stack dump code, and stack metadata analysis code are all better separated so that changing one of them shouldn't have much of an impact on any of the others. Two implementations are added which conform to the new unwind interface: - The frame pointer unwinder which is used for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y. - The "guess" unwinder which is used for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n. This isn't an "unwinder" per se. All it does is scan the stack for kernel text addresses. But with no frame pointers, guesses are better than nothing in most cases.

livepatch/x86: apply alternatives and paravirt patches after relocations Implement arch_klp_init_object_loaded() for x86, which applies alternatives/paravirt patches. This fixes the order in which relocations and alternatives/paravirt patches are applied. Previously, if a patch module had alternatives or paravirt patches, these were applied first by the module loader before livepatch can apply per-object relocations. The (buggy) sequence of events was: (1) Load patch module (2) Apply alternatives and paravirt patches to patch module * Note that these are applied to the new functions in the patch module (3) Apply per-object relocations to patch module when target module loads. * This clobbers what was written in step 2 This lead to crashes and corruption in general, since livepatch would overwrite or step on previously applied alternative/paravirt patches. The correct sequence of events should be: (1) Load patch module (2) Apply per-object relocations to patch module (3) Apply alternatives and paravirt patches to patch module This is fixed by delaying paravirt/alternatives patching until after relocations are applied. Any .altinstructions or .parainstructions sections are prefixed with ".klp.arch.${objname}" and applied in arch_klp_init_object_loaded().

x86/rtc: Replace paravirt rtc check with platform legacy quirk We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC: * Intel MID * Lguest - uses paravirt * Xen dom-U - uses paravirt * x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can be dealt with separately. For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be to account for the lack of semantics available within your given x86_hardware_subarch. As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as follows: TOTAL TEXT init.text x86_early_init_platform_quirks() +70 +62 +62 +43 Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is all removed via __init.

livepatch: reuse module loader code to write relocations Reuse module loader code to write relocations, thereby eliminating the need for architecture specific relocation code in livepatch. Specifically, reuse the apply_relocate_add() function in the module loader to write relocations instead of duplicating functionality in livepatch's arch-dependent klp_write_module_reloc() function. In order to accomplish this, livepatch modules manage their own relocation sections (marked with the SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH section flag) and livepatch-specific symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section index). To apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch symbols referenced by relocs are resolved and then apply_relocate_add() is called to apply those relocations. In addition, remove x86 livepatch relocation code and the s390 klp_write_module_reloc() function stub. They are no longer needed since relocation work has been offloaded to module loader. Lastly, mark the module as a livepatch module so that the module loader canappropriately identify and initialize it.

mm, kasan: stackdepot implementation. Enable stackdepot for SLAB Implement the stack depot and provide CONFIG_STACKDEPOT. Stack depot will allow KASAN store allocation/deallocation stack traces for memory chunks. The stack traces are stored in a hash table and referenced by handles which reside in the kasan_alloc_meta and kasan_free_meta structures in the allocated memory chunks. IRQ stack traces are cut below the IRQ entry point to avoid unnecessary duplication. Right now stackdepot support is only enabled in SLAB allocator. Once KASAN features in SLAB are on par with those in SLUB we can switch SLUB to stackdepot as well, thus removing the dependency on SLUB stack bookkeeping, which wastes a lot of memory. This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: stack depots" patch originally prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov. Joonsoo has said that he plans to reuse the stackdepot code for the mm/page_owner.c debugging facility.

kernel: add kcov code coverage kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a system. A notable user-space example is AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel support. kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs. To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking). Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've dropped the second mode for simplicity. This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296. We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller. Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire. Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.

objtool: Mark non-standard object files and directories Code which runs outside the kernel's normal mode of operation often does unusual things which can cause a static analysis tool like objtool to emit false positive warnings: - boot image - vdso image - relocation - realmode - efi - head - purgatory - modpost Set OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD for their related files and directories, which will tell objtool to skip checking them. It's ok to skip them because they don't affect runtime stack traces. Also skip the following code which does the right thing with respect to frame pointers, but is too "special" to be validated by a tool: - entry - mcount Also skip the test_nx module because it modifies its exception handling table at runtime, which objtool can't understand. Fortunately it's just a test module so it doesn't matter much. Currently objtool is the only user of OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, but it might eventually be useful for other tools.

kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following reasons: 1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting 2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem (unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by default) 3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan "iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)" Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

It's located in range [ffffec0000000000 - fffffc0000000000] between vmemmap and %esp fixup stacks. At early stage we map whole shadow region with zero page. Latter, after pages mapped to direct mapping address range we unmap zero pages from corresponding shadow (see kasan_map_shadow()) and allocate and map a real shadow memory reusing vmemmap_populate() function. Also replace __pa with __pa_nodebug before shadow initialized. __pa with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y make external function call (__phys_addr) __phys_addr is instrumented, so __asan_load could be called before shadow area initialized.

livepatch: kernel: add support for live patching This commit introduces code for the live patching core. It implements an ftrace-based mechanism and kernel interface for doing live patching of kernel and kernel module functions. It represents the greatest common functionality set between kpatch and kgraft and can accept patches built using either method. This first version does not implement any consistency mechanism that ensures that old and new code do not run together. In practice, ~90% of CVEs are safe to apply in this way, since they simply add a conditional check. However, any function change that can not execute safely with the old version of the function can _not_ be safely applied in this version.

kexec: create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for new syscall Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards. Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while. I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used. This new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other arches had to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction of new config option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches. Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I had CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that. For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to "depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is not recursive. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: H.

On some ACPI hardware-reduced platforms(e.g. ASUS-T100), ACPI sleep registers are not valid so that (*pm_power_off)() is not hooked by acpi_power_off().

x86, espfix: Make espfix64 a Kconfig option, fix UML Make espfix64 a hidden Kconfig option. This fixes the x86-64 UML build which had broken due to the non-existence of init_espfix_bsp() in UML: since UML uses its own Kconfig, this option does not appear in the UML build. This also makes it possible to make support for 16-bit segments a configuration option, for the people who want to minimize the size of the kernel.

x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp returning to 16-bit stack The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer. This causes some 16-bit software to break, but it also leaks kernel state to user space. We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which is not available in 64-bit mode. In checkin: b3b42ac2cbae x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels we "solved" this by forbidding 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels, with the logic that 16-bit support is crippled on 64-bit kernels anyway (no V86 support), but it turns out that people are doing stuff like running old Win16 binaries under Wine and expect it to work. This works around this by creating percpu "ministacks", each of which is mapped 2^16 times 64K apart. When we detect that the return SS is on the LDT, we copy the IRET frame to the ministack and use the relevant alias to return to userspace. The ministacks are mapped readonly, so if IRET faults we promote #GP to #DF which is an IST vector and thus has its own stack; we then do the fixup in the #DF handler. (Making #GP an IST exception would make the msr_safe functions unsafe in NMI/MC context, and quite possibly have other effects.) Special thanks to: - Andy Lutomirski, for the suggestion of using very small stack slots and copy (as opposed to map) the IRET frame there, and for the suggestion to mark them readonly and let the fault promote to #DF. - Konrad Wilk for paravirt fixup and testing. - Borislav Petkov for testing help and useful comments.

arch: x86: New MailBox support driver for Intel SOC's Current Intel SOC cores use a MailBox Interface (MBI) to provide access to configuration registers on devices (called units) connected to the system fabric. This is a support driver that implements access to this interface on those platforms that can enumerate the device using PCI. Initial support is for BayTrail, for which port definitons are provided. This is a requirement for implementing platform specific features (e.g. RAPL driver requires this to perform platform specific power management using the registers in PUNIT). Dependant modules should select IOSF_MBI in their respective Kconfig configuraiton. Serialized access is handled by all exported routines with spinlocks. The API includes 3 functions for access to unit registers: int iosf_mbi_read(u8 port, u8 opcode, u32 offset, u32 *mdr) int iosf_mbi_write(u8 port, u8 opcode, u32 offset, u32 mdr) int iosf_mbi_modify(u8 port, u8 opcode, u32 offset, u32 mdr, u32 mask) port: indicating the unit being accessed opcode: the read or write port specific opcode offset: the register offset within the port mdr: the register data to be read, written, or modified mask: bit locations in mdr to change Returns nonzero on error Note: GPU code handles access to the GFX unit. Therefore access to that unit with this driver is disallowed to avoid conflicts. Signed-off-by: David E.

x86: provide platform-devices for boot-framebuffers The current situation regarding boot-framebuffers (VGA, VESA/VBE, EFI) on x86 causes troubles when loading multiple fbdev drivers. The global "struct screen_info" does not provide any state-tracking about which drivers use the FBs. request_mem_region() theoretically works, but unfortunately vesafb/efifb ignore it due to quirks for broken boards. Avoid this by creating a platform framebuffer devices with a pointer to the "struct screen_info" as platform-data. Drivers can now create platform-drivers and the driver-core will refuse multiple drivers being active simultaneously. We keep the screen_info available for backwards-compatibility. Drivers can be converted in follow-up patches. Different devices are created for VGA/VESA/EFI FBs to allow multiple drivers to be loaded on distro kernels. We create: - "vesa-framebuffer" for VBE/VESA graphics FBs - "efi-framebuffer" for EFI FBs - "platform-framebuffer" for everything else This allows to load vesafb, efifb and others simultaneously and each picks up only the supported FB types. Apart from platform-framebuffer devices, this also introduces a compatibility option for "simple-framebuffer" drivers which recently got introduced for OF based systems. If CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is selected, we try to match the screen_info against a simple-framebuffer supported format. If we succeed, we create a "simple-framebuffer" device instead of a platform-framebuffer. This allows to reuse the simplefb.c driver across architectures and also to introduce a SimpleDRM driver. There is no need to have vesafb.c, efifb.c, simplefb.c and more just to have architecture specific quirks in their setup-routines. Instead, we now move the architecture specific quirks into x86-setup and provide a generic simple-framebuffer. For backwards-compatibility (if strange formats are used), we still allow vesafb/efifb to be loaded simultaneously and pick up all remaining devices.

x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepoints [Purpose of this patch] As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors are useful. http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html <snip> The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently running processes. There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events. The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state. <snip> On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting a value of instruction pointer. I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before. But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap. So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now. [Patch Description] Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events. But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events. In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events. So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit. so that we can enable them independently. - local_timer_vector - reschedule_vector - call_function_vector - call_function_single_vector - irq_work_entry_vector - error_apic_vector - thermal_apic_vector - threshold_apic_vector - spurious_apic_vector - x86_platform_ipi_vector Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows. - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq(). - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table. - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers. - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt(). This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons. - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled. - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging is disabled. In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.

A quick search on the internet, and you see that even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series. This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in carrying this any further into the future. One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

uprobes, mm, x86: Add the ability to install and remove uprobes breakpoints Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support. This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits. General design: Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset (the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique (inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the rb-tree. Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe. Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The 'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the 'filter' criteria. The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are appended to this list. On subsequent probes, the consumer gets appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of consumers. Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a probe needs to be inserted/removed. We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the inode. - The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we walk the rmap and keeps changing. - extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a size-critical data structure. - There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm. We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas that are of interest to uprobes. When a vma of interest is mapped, we insert the breakpoint at the right address. Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the uprobed address. This is needed for: a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol). b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups. c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered. We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a single byte). Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE file map. The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic. In essence, similar to KSM: a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that has the uprobed vaddr b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required address c. switch the original page with the copy containing the breakpoint d. flush page tables. replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work. Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the necessary fixups after singlestep. Instruction analysis is done at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the same analysis every time a probe is hit. A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs from Peter Zijlstra. Changelog: (v10): - Add code to clear REX.B prefix as suggested by Denys Vlasenko and Masami Hiramatsu. (v9): - Use insn_offset_modrm as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu. (v7): Handle comments from Peter Zijlstra: - Dont take reference to inode. (expect inode to uprobe_register to be sane). - Use PTR_ERR to set the return value. - No need to take reference to inode. - use PTR_ERR to return error value. - register and uprobe_unregister share code. (v5): - Modified del_consumer as per comments from Peter. - Drop reference to inode before dropping reference to uprobe. - Use i_size_read(inode) instead of inode->i_size. - Ensure uprobe->consumers is NULL, before __uprobe_unregister() is called. - Includes errno.h as recommended by Stephen Rothwell to fix a build issue on sparc defconfig - Remove restrictions while unregistering. - Earlier code leaked inode references under some conditions while registering/unregistering. - Continue the vma-rmap walk even if the intermediate vma doesnt meet the requirements. - Validate the vma found by find_vma before inserting/removing the breakpoint - Call del_consumer under mutex_lock. - Use hash locks. - Handle mremap. - Introduce find_least_offset_node() instead of close match logic in find_uprobe - Uprobes no more depends on MM_OWNER; No reference to task_structs while inserting/removing a probe. - Uses read_mapping_page instead of grab_cache_page so that the pages have valid content. - pass NULL to get_user_pages for the task parameter. - call SetPageUptodate on the new page allocated in write_opcode. - fix leaking a reference to the new page under certain conditions. - Include Instruction Decoder if Uprobes gets defined. - Remove const attributes for instruction prefix arrays. - Uses mm_context to know if the application is 32 bit.

x86, NMI: Add NMI IPI selftest The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI instead of IRQ as the way to communicate to the other cpus to shutdown. There were some concerns that various machines may have problems with using an NMI IPI. This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at boot. The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine panics and we learn the hard way. Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file runs a couple of simple tests and reports the results. The output looks like: ... Brought up 4 CPUs ---------------- | NMI testsuite: -------------------- remote IPI: ok | local IPI: ok | -------------------- Good, all 2 testcases passed! | --------------------------------- Total of 4 processors activated (21330.61 BogoMIPS). ...

x86: Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h from tables Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the tables in arch/x86/syscalls. All other information, like NR_syscalls, is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c. This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place, and allows for kernel space and user space to see different information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in the near future. This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64 and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with the same mechanism. Cc: H. J.

x86-64: Emulate legacy vsyscalls There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page. It contains a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of some other code. Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the middle. This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real syscalls. Fortunately sensible programs don't use them. The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the development tree. This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet functions are still at a fixed address. Fixing that might involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

This commit also added the file vread_tsc_64.c that gets used by vdso but failed to prevent GCOV from monkeying with it, causing userspace to try to access kernel data when GCOV was enabled.

x86: avoid low BIOS area when allocating address space This implements arch_remove_reservations() so allocate_resource() can avoid any arch-specific reserved areas. This currently just avoids the BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if that turns out to be necessary. We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource(). This patch moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all* resource allocations will avoid this area. Acked-by: H.

irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers. Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also benefit. The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately. Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in processing the work.

This patch will add early console function based on it. As it will be used long before Linux spi subsystem get initialised, we simply directly manipulate the spi controller's register to acheive the early console func. This is safe as it will be disabled when devices subsytem get initialised. To use it, user need enable CONFIG_X86_MRST_EARLY_PRINTK in kenrel config and add "earlyprintk=mrst" in kernel command line.

x86, iommu: Add proper dependency sort routine (and sanity check). We are using a very simple sort routine which sorts the .iommu_table array in the order of dependencies. Specifically each structure of iommu_table_entry has a field 'depend' which contains the function pointer to the IOMMU that MUST be run before us. We sort the array of structures so that the struct iommu_table_entry with no 'depend' field are first, and then the subsequent ones are the ones for which the 'depend' function has been already invoked (in other words, precede us). Using the kernel's version 'sort', which is a mergeheap is feasible, but would require making the comparison operator scan recursivly the array to satisfy the "heapify" process: setting the levels properly. The end result would much more complex than it should be an it is just much simpler to utilize this simple sort routine.

x86, vmware: Remove deprecated VMI kernel support With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform. These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this feature from the hypervisor. Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels still work fine on VMware's platform. Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are, Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence releases for these products will continue supporting VMI. For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this, http://blogs.vmware.com/guestosguide/2009/09/vmi-retirement.html This feature removal was scheduled for 2.6.37 back in September 2009.

OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range 0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's page table. This is currently only used by the OLPC XO. Note that this particular calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer x86 hardware.

Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it.

x86: Add x86_init infrastructure The upcoming Moorestown support brings the embedded world to x86. The setup code of x86 has already a couple of hooks which are either x86_quirks or paravirt ops. Some of those setup hooks are pretty convoluted like the timer setup and the tsc calibration code. But there are other places which could do with a cleanup. Instead of having inline functions/macros which are modified at compile time I decided to introduce x86_init ops which are unconditional in the code and make it clear that they can be changed either during compile time or in the early boot process. The function pointers are initialized by default functions which can be noops so that the pointer can be called unconditionally in the most cases. This also allows us to remove 32bit/64bit, paravirt and other #ifdeffery. paravirt guests are just a hardware platform in the setup code, so we should treat them as such and not hide all behind multiple layers of indirection and compile time dependencies. It's more obvious that x86_init.timers.timer_init() is a function pointer than the late_time_init = choose_time_init() obscurity. It's also way simpler to grep for x86_init.timers.timer_init and find all the places which modify that function pointer instead of analyzing weak functions, macros and paravirt indirections. Note. This is not a general paravirt_ops replacement. It just will move setup related hooks which are potentially useful for other platform setup purposes as well out of the paravirt domain. Add the base infrastructure without any functionality. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

x86, intel_txt: Intel TXT boot support This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT). Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms. Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT). Intel TXT in Brief: o Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM) o Data protection in case of improper shutdown o Measurement and verification of launched environment Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some non-vPro systems. It is currently available on desktop systems based on the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45 Express chipsets. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/. This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which has been updated for the new released platforms. A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file in this patch. This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality, documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure, and boot detection of a TXT launch. Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes properly.

x86: Fix performance regression caused by paravirt_ops on native kernels Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native. It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized spinlocks introduced by: | commit 8efcbab674de2bee45a2e4cdf97de16b8e609ac8 | Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700 | | paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7% (seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions executed). If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown). Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a no-pvops build as baseline: nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18% instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15% CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03% cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28% cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56% cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31% branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04% branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72% branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67% wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20% The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is directly reflected in the final wallclock time. (The other interesting effect is that the more ops are out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside, the branch misses go up correspondingly...) So, what's the fix? Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so _spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30 <_spin_lock+22>: retq The indirect call will get patched to: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock> <_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */ <_spin_lock+22>: retq One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial. The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user). But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a reasonable short-term workaround.

It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes. CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu variable. x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely need something better.

tracing/function-graph-tracer: introduce __notrace_funcgraph to filter special functions Impact: trace more functions When the function graph tracer is configured, three more files are not traced to prevent only four functions to be traced. And this impacts the normal function tracer too. arch/x86/kernel/process_64/32.c: I had crashes when I let this file traced. After some debugging, I saw that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie: "write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store the original return address of the function inside current, we had crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing. kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c: Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer: __kernel_text_address() To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64 Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86 This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64. Both static and dynamic tracing are supported. This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion. That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these function for other archs ports. Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer). So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags). A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and, after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I hadn't problems with it.

tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing Add low level support for ftrace return tracing. This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of the current task. The index of the current return address is initialized when the task is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall, it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called. Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3. For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution. That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on this function enabled.

It hooks into the general patch loading module. Main difference is that a container file format is used to hold all patch data for multiple processors as well as an equivalent CPU table, which comes seperately, as opposed to Intel's microcode patching solution.

However, that is exclusive, there is only one vendor specific module allowed at a time. A CPU vendor check makes sure only the correct module for the underlying system gets called. Functinally in terms of patch loading itself there are no changes. This refactoring provides a basis for future implementations of other vendors' patch loaders.

x86, SGI UV: TLB shootdown using broadcast assist unit TLB shootdown for SGI UV. Depends on patch (in tip/x86/irq): x86-update-macros-used-by-uv-platform.patch Jack Steiner May 29 This patch provides the ability to flush TLB's in cpu's that are not on the local node. The hardware mechanism for distributing the flush messages is the UV's "broadcast assist unit". The hook to intercept TLB shootdown requests is a 2-line change to native_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_64.c). This code has been tested on a hardware simulator. The real hardware is not yet available. The shootdown statistics are provided through /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics. The use of /sys was considered, but would have required the use of many /sys files. The debugfs was also considered, but these statistics should be available on an ongoing basis, not just for debugging. Issues to be fixed later: - The IRQ for the messaging interrupt is currently hardcoded as 200 (see UV_BAU_MESSAGE). It should be dynamically assigned in the future. - The use of appropriate udelay()'s is untested, as they are a problem in the simulator.

x86: stackprotector & PARAVIRT fix on paravirt enabled 64-bit kernels the paravirt ops do function calls themselves - which is bad with the stackprotector - for example pda_init() loads 0 into %gs and then does MSR_GS_BASE write (which modifies gs.base) - but that MSR write is a function call on paravirt, which with stackprotector tries to read the stack canary from the PDA ... crashing the bootup. the solution was suggested by Arjan van de Ven: to exclude paravirt.c from stackprotector, too many lowlevel functionality is in it. It's not like we'll have paravirt functions with character arrays on their stack anyway...

x86: mmiotrace - trace memory mapped IO Mmiotrace is a tool for trapping memory mapped IO (MMIO) accesses within the kernel. It is used for debugging and especially for reverse engineering evil binary drivers. Mmiotrace works by wrapping the ioremap family of kernel functions and marking the returned pages as not present. Access to the IO memory triggers a page fault, which will be handled by mmiotrace's custom page fault handler. This will single-step the faulted instruction with the MMIO page marked as present. Access logs are directed to user space via relay and debug_fs. This page fault approach is necessary, because binary drivers have readl/writel etc. calls inlined and therefore extremely difficult to trap with with e.g. kprobes. This patch depends on the custom page fault handlers patch. Signed-off-by: Pekka Paalanen <pq@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

ftrace: dynamic enabling/disabling of function calls This patch adds a feature to dynamically replace the ftrace code with the jmps to allow a kernel with ftrace configured to run as fast as it can without it configured. The way this works, is on bootup (if ftrace is enabled), a ftrace function is registered to record the instruction pointer of all places that call the function. Later, if there's still any code to patch, a kthread is awoken (rate limited to at most once a second) that performs a stop_machine, and replaces all the code that was called with a jmp over the call to ftrace. It only replaces what was found the previous time. Typically the system reaches equilibrium quickly after bootup and there's no code patching needed at all. e.g. call ftrace /* 5 bytes */ is replaced with jmp 3f /* jmp is 2 bytes and we jump 3 forward */ 3: When we want to enable ftrace for function tracing, the IP recording is removed, and stop_machine is called again to replace all the locations of that were recorded back to the call of ftrace. When it is disabled, we replace the code back to the jmp. Allocation is done by the kthread. If the ftrace recording function is called, and we don't have any record slots available, then we simply skip that call. Once a second a new page (if needed) is allocated for recording new ftrace function calls. A large batch is allocated at boot up to get most of the calls there. Because we do this via stop_machine, we don't have to worry about another CPU executing a ftrace call as we modify it. But we do need to worry about NMI's so all functions that might be called via nmi must be annotated with notrace_nmi. When this code is configured in, the NMI code will not call notrace.

x86, fpu: split FPU state from task struct - v5 Split the FPU save area from the task struct. This allows easy migration of FPU context, and it's generally cleaner. It also allows the following two optimizations: 1) only allocate when the application actually uses FPU, so in the first lazy FPU trap. This could save memory for non-fpu using apps. Next patch does this lazy allocation. 2) allocate the right size for the actual cpu rather than 512 bytes always. Patches enabling xsave/xrstor support (coming shortly) will take advantage of this.

x86: support for new UV apic UV supports really big systems. So big, in fact, that the APICID register does not contain enough bits to contain an APICID that is unique across all cpus. The UV BIOS supports 3 APICID modes: - legacy mode. This mode uses the old APIC mode where APICID is in bits [31:24] of the APICID register. - x2apic mode. This mode is whitebox-compatible. APICIDs are unique across all cpus. Standard x2apic APIC operations (Intel-defined) can be used for IPIs. The node identifier fits within the Intel-defined portion of the APICID register. - x2apic-uv mode. In this mode, the APICIDs on each node have unique IDs, but IDs on different node are not unique. For example, if each mode has 32 cpus, the APICIDs on each node might be 0 - 31. Every node has the same set of IDs. The UV hub is used to route IPIs/interrupts to the correct node. Traditional APIC operations WILL NOT WORK. In x2apic-uv mode, the ACPI tables all contain a full unique ID (note: exact bit layout still changing but the following is close): nnnnnnnnnnlc0cch n = unique node number l = socket number on board c = core h = hyperthread Only the "lc0cch" bits are written to the APICID register. The remaining bits are supplied by having the get_apic_id() function "OR" the extra bits into the value read from the APICID register. (Hmmm.. why not keep the ENTIRE APICID register in per-cpu data....) The x2apic-uv mode is recognized by the MADT table containing: oem_id = "SGI" oem_table_id = "UV-X" Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

x86: reboot_{32|64}.c unification reboot_{32|64}.c unification patch. This patch unifies the code from the reboot_32.c and reboot_64.c files. It has been tested in computers with X86_32 and X86_64 kernels and it looks like all reboot modes work fine (EFI restart system hasn't been tested yet). Probably I made some mistakes (like I usually do) so I hope we can identify and fix them soon.

x86: unify arch/x86/kernel/Makefile(s) Combine the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles in one file. While doing so link order was (almost) preserved on 32 bit but on 64 bit link order changed a lot. Patch was checked with defconfig + allyesconfig builds. The same .o files were linked in these configurations. To keep readability of the Makefiles a few Kconfig symbols was added/modified and it was checked that they were not used anywhere else. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: "H.

x86: delete vsyscall files during make clean make clean failed to delete a few files in x86/kernel. This is because kbuild does not see the correct/full kernel/Makefile. As a workaround until the Makefiles are merged specify the files to be deleted in the common Makefile.
