2013-12-20stackprotector: Unify the HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR logic between architecturesKees Cook
Instead of duplicating the CC_STACKPROTECTOR Kconfig and Makefile logic in each architecture, switch to using HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR and keep everything in one place. This retains the x86-specific bug verification scripts.

2013-11-11x86, kaslr: Mix entropy sources together as neededKees Cook
Depending on availability, mix the RDRAND and RDTSC entropy together with XOR. Only when neither is available should the i8254 be used. Update the Kconfig documentation to reflect this. Additionally, since bits used for entropy is masked elsewhere, drop the needless masking in the get_random_long(). Similarly, use the entire TSC, not just the low 32 bits. Finally, to improve the starting entropy, do a simple hashing of a build-time versions string and the boot-time boot_params structure for some additional level of unpredictability.

2013-11-06x86/cpu: Allow higher NR_CPUS valuesJosh Boyer
The current range for SMP configs is 2 - 512 CPUs, or a full 4096 in the case of MAXSMP. There are machines that have 1024 CPUs in them today and configuring a kernel for that means you are forced to set MAXSMP. This adds additional unnecessary overhead. While that overhead might be considered tiny for large machines, it isn't necessarily so if you are building a kernel that runs across a wide variety of machines. To cover the range of more common machines today, we allow NR_CPUS to be up to 4096 when CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled.

2013-10-06x86/iommu: Don't make AMD_GART depend on EXPERT and default yAndi Kleen
The AMD_GART driver was made EXPERT/EMBEDDED a long time ago to avoid unbootable 64bit systems with 32bit only devices. This was before swiotlb was there, which does the job of this fallback today. SWIOTLB is always on, so systems should always boot. The drawback is that every system has to compile that driver in (it cannot be a module). Also: - Newer AMD CPUs (the APUs) don't seem to have AMD_GART support at all anymore. - Newer AMD platforms have a much better real IOMMU - The AMD GART driver was never very good (lots of overhead, e.g. in flushing due to some workarounds) and it's doubtful it's really better than SWIOTLB. - On older K8 systems it didn't even work with all chipsets. - The 32bit device bounce buffer case should be rare/ non performance critical these days anyways. - On non AMD systems it is not needed at all. So drop the EXPERT dependency on AMD_GART and remove the default y. The driver can be still compiled in, just it's an explicit decision now, and people who don't want it can unselect it. I also clarified the description a bit. This allows to save ~8K text on most modern x86-64 systems.

2013-10-04x86, build, pci: Fix PCI_MSI build on !SMPThomas Petazzoni
Commit ebd97be635 ('PCI: remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI kconfig option') removed the ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI option which architectures could select to indicate that they support MSI. Now, all architectures are supposed to build fine when MSI support is enabled: instead of having the architecture tell *when* MSI support can be used, it's up to the architecture code to ensure that MSI support can be enabled. On x86, commit ebd97be635 removed the following line: select ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI if (X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_IO_APIC) Which meant that MSI support was only available when the local APIC and I/O APIC were enabled. While this is always true on SMP or x86-64, it is not necessarily the case on i386 !SMP. The below patch makes sure that the local APIC and I/O APIC support is always enabled when MSI support is enabled. To do so, it: * Ensures the X86_UP_APIC option is not visible when PCI_MSI is enabled. This is the option that allows, on UP machines, to enable or not the APIC support. It is already not visible on SMP systems, or x86-64 systems, for example. We're simply also making it invisible on i386 MSI systems. * Ensures that the X86_LOCAL_APIC and X86_IO_APIC options are 'y' when PCI_MSI is enabled. Notice that this change requires a change in drivers/iommu/Kconfig to avoid a recursive Kconfig dependencey. The AMD_IOMMU option selects PCI_MSI, but was depending on X86_IO_APIC. This dependency is no longer needed: as soon as PCI_MSI is selected, the presence of X86_IO_APIC is guaranteed. Moreover, the AMD_IOMMU already depended on X86_64, which already guaranteed that X86_IO_APIC was enabled, so this dependency was anyway redundant.

2013-10-01x86: Tell about irq stack coverageFrederic Weisbecker
x86-64 runs irq_exit() under the irq stack. So it can afford to run softirqs in hardirq exit without the need to switch the stacks. The hardirq stack is good enough for that. Now x86-64 runs softirqs in the hardirq stack anyway, so what we mostly skip is some needless per cpu refcounting updates there. x86-32 is not concerned because it only runs the irq handler on the irq stack.

2013-09-25hotplug / x86: Disable ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE on x86Toshi Kani
Commit d7c53c9e enabled ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE on x86 in order to serialize CPU online/offline operations. Although it is the config option to enable CPU hotplug test interfaces, probe & release, it is also the option to enable cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() as well. Therefore, this option had to be enabled on x86 with dummy arch_cpu_probe() and arch_cpu_release(). Since then, lock_device_hotplug() was introduced to serialize CPU online/offline & hotplug operations. Therefore, this config option is no longer required for the serialization. This patch disables this config option on x86 and revert the changes made by commit d7c53c9e.

2013-09-02lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg()Linus Torvalds
Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock" contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are contended. Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t. Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the spinlock. So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for "atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero), so a locked region can still see the count change. The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock. In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to do three things: (1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works on such a u64 data type. (2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked ("arch_spin_value_unlocked()") (3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its Kconfig file. This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for 32-bit mode).

2013-08-02x86: provide platform-devices for boot-framebuffersDavid Herrmann
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.

2013-07-22mm/hotplug, x86: Disable ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE by defaultToshi Kani
CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE enables the /sys/devices/system/memory/probe interface, which allows a given memory address to be hot-added as follows: # echo start_address_of_new_memory > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe (See Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt for more details.) This probe interface is required on powerpc. On x86, however, ACPI notifies a memory hotplug event to the kernel, which performs its hotplug operation as the result. Therefore, regular users do not need this interface on x86. This probe interface is also error-prone and misleading that the kernel blindly adds a given memory address without checking if the memory is present on the system; no probing is done despite of its name. The kernel crashes when a user requests to online a memory block that is not present on the system. This interface is currently used for testing as it can fake a hotplug event. This patch disables CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE by default on x86, adds its Kconfig menu entry on x86, and clarifies its use in Documentation/ memory-hotplug.txt.

2013-07-19kprobes/x86: Remove unused text_poke_smp() and text_poke_smp_batch() functionsMasami Hiramatsu
Since introducing the text_poke_bp() for all text_poke_smp*() callers, text_poke_smp*() are now unused. This patch basically reverts: 3d55cc8a058e ("x86: Add text_poke_smp for SMP cross modifying code") 7deb18dcf047 ("x86: Introduce text_poke_smp_batch() for batch-code modifying") and related commits. This patch also fixes a Kconfig dependency issue on STOP_MACHINE in the case of CONFIG_SMP && !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD.

2013-07-04Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave HansenLinus Torvalds
Merge Kconfig menu diet patches from Dave Hansen: "I think the "Kernel Hacking" menu has gotten a bit out of hand. It is over 120 lines long on my system with everything enabled and options are scattered around it haphazardly. http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/kconfig-horror.png Let's try to introduce some sanity. This set takes that 120 lines down to 55 and makes it vastly easier to find some things. It's a start. This set stands on its own, but there is plenty of room for follow-up patches. The arch-specific debug options still end up getting stuck in the top-level "kernel hacking" menu. OPTIMIZE_INLINING, for instance, could obviously go in to the "compiler options" menu, but the fact that it is defined in arch/ in a separate Kconfig file keeps it on its own for the moment. The Signed-off-by's in here look funky. I changed employers while working on this set, so I have signoffs from both email addresses" * emailed patches from Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net>: hang and lockup detection menu kconfig: consolidate printk options group locking debugging options consolidate compilation option configs consolidate runtime testing configs order memory debugging Kconfig options consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options
