2009-12-16x86, cpuid: Add "volatile" to asm in native_cpuid()Suresh Siddha
xsave_cntxt_init() does something like: cpuid(0xd, ..); // find out what features FP/SSE/.. etc are supported xsetbv(); // enable the features known to OS cpuid(0xd, ..); // find out the size of the context for features enabled Depending on what features get enabled in xsetbv(), value of the cpuid.eax=0xd.ecx=0.ebx changes correspondingly (representing the size of the context that is enabled). As we don't have volatile keyword for native_cpuid(), gcc 4.1.2 optimizes away the second cpuid and the kernel continues to use the cpuid information obtained before xsetbv(), ultimately leading to kernel crash on processors supporting more state than the legacy FP/SSE. Add "volatile" for native_cpuid(). Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <1261009542.2745.55.camel@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: H.

2009-11-08hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf eventsFrederic Weisbecker
This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of perf events instances. Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc.. The new layering is now made as follows: ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall \ | / / \ | / / / Core breakpoint API / / | / | / Breakpoints perf events | | Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling (Part of core breakpoint API) | | Hardware debug registers Reasons of this rewrite: - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling, implying an easier arch integration - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...) Impact: - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per thread breakpoints references. Todo (in the order): - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement perf_bpcounter_event()) - Support from perf tools Changes in v2: - Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch Changes in v3: - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. Changes in v4: - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) Changes in v5: - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up address registers. - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c Changes in v6: - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2009-11-04x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bitStefani Seibold
This patch fixes two issues in the procfs stack information on x86-64 linux. The 32 bit loader compat_do_execve did not store stack start. (this was figured out by Alexey Dobriyan). The stack information on a x64_64 kernel always shows 0 kbyte stack usage, because of a missing implementation of the KSTK_ESP macro which always returned -1. The new implementation now returns the right value.

2009-09-10x86: Fix code patching for paravirt-alternatives on 486Ben Hutchings
As reported in <http://bugs.debian.org/511703> and <http://bugs.debian.org/515982>, kernels with paravirt-alternatives enabled crash in text_poke_early() on at least some 486-class processors. The problem is that text_poke_early() itself uses inline functions affected by paravirt-alternatives and so will modify instructions that have already been prefetched. Pentium and later processors will invalidate the prefetched instructions in this case, but 486-class processors do not. Change sync_core() to limit prefetching on 486-class (and 386-class) processors, and move the call to sync_core() above the call to the modifiable local_irq_restore().

2009-09-03x86/i386: Make sure stack-protector segment base is cache alignedJeremy Fitzhardinge
The Intel Optimization Reference Guide says: In Intel Atom microarchitecture, the address generation unit assumes that the segment base will be 0 by default. Non-zero segment base will cause load and store operations to experience a delay. - If the segment base isn't aligned to a cache line boundary, the max throughput of memory operations is reduced to one [e]very 9 cycles. [...] Assembly/Compiler Coding Rule 15. (H impact, ML generality) For Intel Atom processors, use segments with base set to 0 whenever possible; avoid non-zero segment base address that is not aligned to cache line boundary at all cost. We can't avoid having a non-zero base for the stack-protector segment, but we can make it cache-aligned.

2009-06-02hw-breakpoints: prepare the code for Hardware Breakpoint interfacesK.Prasad
The generic hardware breakpoint interface provides an abstraction of hardware breakpoints in front of specific arch implementations for both kernel and user side breakpoints. This includes execution breakpoints and read/write breakpoints, also known as "watchpoints". This patch introduces header files containing constants, structure definitions and declaration of functions used by the hardware breakpoint core and x86 specific code. It also introduces an array based storage for the debug-register values in 'struct thread_struct', while modifying all users of debugreg<n> member in the structure.

2009-05-11x86: add extension fields for bootloader type and versionH. Peter Anvin
A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor. There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel header. Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader type and version. This has generally worked without *too* much pain, but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields. Add extension fields for both type and version. The type will be extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB extension. Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing (type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version number.

2009-04-21FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()David Howells
In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.

2009-03-13x86, 32-bit: also use cpuinfo_x86's x86_{phys,virt}_bits membersJan Beulich
Impact: 32/64-bit consolidation In a first step, this allows fixing phys_addr_valid() for PAE (which until now reported all addresses to be valid). Subsequently, this will also allow simplifying some MTRR handling code.

2009-03-02x86-32: use non-lazy io bitmap context switchingJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: remove 32-bit optimization to prepare unification x86-32 and -64 differ in the way they context-switch tasks with io permission bitmaps. x86-64 simply copies the next tasks io bitmap into place (if any) on context switch. x86-32 invalidates the bitmap on context switch, so that the next IO instruction will fault; at that point it installs the appropriate IO bitmap. This makes context switching IO-bitmap-using tasks a bit more less expensive, at the cost of making the next IO instruction slower due to the extra fault. This tradeoff only makes sense if IO-bitmap-using processes are relatively common, but they don't actually use IO instructions very often. However, in a typical desktop system, the only process likely to be using IO bitmaps is the X server, and nothing at all on a server. Therefore the lazy context switch doesn't really win all that much, and its just a gratuitious difference from 64-bit code. This patch removes the lazy context switch, with a view to unifying this code in a later change.

2009-02-21x86, mm: rename TASK_SIZE64 => TASK_SIZE_MAXIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Rename TASK_SIZE64 to TASK_SIZE_MAX, and provide the define on 32-bit too. (mapped to TASK_SIZE) This allows 32-bit code to make use of the (former-) TASK_SIZE64 symbol as well, in a clean way.

2009-02-10x86: implement x86_32 stack protectorTejun Heo
Impact: stack protector for x86_32 Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it. 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.

2009-01-31x86: split loading percpu segments from loading gdtJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: split out a function, no functional change Xen needs to be able to access percpu data from very early on. For various reasons, it cannot also load the gdt at that time. It does, however, have a pefectly functional gdt at that point, so there's no pressing need to reload the gdt. Split the function to load the segment registers off, so Xen can call it directly.
