2019-10-17x86/asm: Fix MWAITX C-state hint valueJanakarajan Natarajan
commit 454de1e7d970d6bc567686052329e4814842867c upstream. As per "AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 3: General-Purpose and System Instructions", MWAITX EAX[7:4]+1 specifies the optional hint of the optimized C-state. For C0 state, EAX[7:4] should be set to 0xf. Currently, a value of 0xf is set for EAX[3:0] instead of EAX[7:4]. Fix this by changing MWAITX_DISABLE_CSTATES from 0xf to 0xf0. This hasn't had any implications so far because setting reserved bits in EAX is simply ignored by the CPU.

2017-12-25x86/entry/64: Make cpu_entry_area.tss read-onlyAndy Lutomirski
commit c482feefe1aeb150156248ba0fd3e029bc886605 upstream. The TSS is a fairly juicy target for exploits, and, now that the TSS is in the cpu_entry_area, it's no longer protected by kASLR. Make it read-only on x86_64. On x86_32, it can't be RO because it's written by the CPU during task switches, and we use a task gate for double faults. I'd also be nervous about errata if we tried to make it RO even on configurations without double fault handling. [ tglx: AMD confirmed that there is no problem on 64-bit with TSS RO. So it's probably safe to assume that it's a non issue, though Intel might have been creative in that area.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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.

2017-04-30Prevent timer value 0 for MWAITXJanakarajan Natarajan
Newer hardware has uncovered a bug in the software implementation of using MWAITX for the delay function. A value of 0 for the timer is meant to indicate that a timeout will not be used to exit MWAITX. On newer hardware this can result in MWAITX never returning, resulting in NMI soft lockup messages being printed. On older hardware, some of the other conditions under which MWAITX can exit masked this issue. The AMD APM does not currently document this and will be updated. Please refer to http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=148950623231140 for information regarding NMI soft lockup messages on an AMD Ryzen 1800X. This has been root-caused as a 0 passed to MWAITX causing it to wait indefinitely. This change has the added benefit of avoiding the unnecessary setup of MONITORX/MWAITX when the delay value is zero.

2017-01-22x86/timer: Make delay() work during early bootupJiri Slaby
When a panic happens during bootup, "Rebooting in X seconds.." is shown, but reboot happens immediatelly. It is because panic() uses mdelay() and mdelay() calls __const_udelay() immediately, which does not work while booting. The per_cpu cpu_info.loops_per_jiffy value is not initialized yet, so __const_udelay() actually multiplies the number of loops by zero. This results in __const_udelay() to delay the execution only by a nanosecond or so. So check whether cpu_info.loops_per_jiffy is zero and use loops_per_jiffy in that case. mdelay() will not be so precise without proper calibration, but it works relatively well. Before: [ 0.170039] delaying 100ms [ 0.170828] done After [ 0.214042] delaying 100ms [ 0.313974] done I do not think the added check matters given we are about to spin the processor in the next few hundred cycles.

2016-07-14x86/lib: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.hPaul Gortmaker
Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file. This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using. Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance for the presence of either and replace as needed. Build testing revealed a couple implicit header usage issues that were fixed.

2016-03-10x86/delay: Avoid preemptible context checks in delay_mwaitx()Borislav Petkov
We do use this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_tss) as a cacheline-aligned, seldomly accessed per-cpu var as the MONITORX target in delay_mwaitx(). However, when called in preemptible context, this_cpu_ptr -> smp_processor_id() -> debug_smp_processor_id() fires: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: udevd/312 caller is delay_mwaitx+0x40/0xa0 But we don't care about that check - we only need cpu_tss as a MONITORX target and it doesn't really matter which CPU's var we're touching as we're going idle anyway.

2015-08-22x86/asm/delay: Introduce an MWAITX-based delay with a configurable timerHuang Rui
MWAITX can enable a timer and a corresponding timer value specified in SW P0 clocks. The SW P0 frequency is the same as TSC. The timer provides an upper bound on how long the instruction waits before exiting. This way, a delay function in the kernel can leverage that MWAITX timer of MWAITX. When a CPU core executes MWAITX, it will be quiesced in a waiting phase, diminishing its power consumption. This way, we can save power in comparison to our default TSC-based delays. A simple test shows that: $ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc $ sleep 10000s $ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc Results: * TSC-based default delay: 485115 uWatts average power * MWAITX-based delay: 252738 uWatts average power Thus, that's about 240 milliWatts less power consumption. The test method relies on the support of AMD CPU accumulated power algorithm in fam15h_power for which patches are forthcoming.

2012-03-09x86: Derandom delay_tsc for 64 bitThomas Gleixner
Commit f0fbf0abc093 ("x86: integrate delay functions") converted delay_tsc() into a random delay generator for 64 bit. The reason is that it merged the mostly identical versions of delay_32.c and delay_64.c. Though the subtle difference of the result was: static void delay_tsc(unsigned long loops) { - unsigned bclock, now; + unsigned long bclock, now; Now the function uses rdtscl() which returns the lower 32bit of the TSC. On 32bit that's not problematic as unsigned long is 32bit. On 64 bit this fails when the lower 32bit are close to wrap around when bclock is read, because the following check if ((now - bclock) >= loops) break; evaluated to true on 64bit for e.g. bclock = 0xffffffff and now = 0 because the unsigned long (now - bclock) of these values results in 0xffffffff00000001 which is definitely larger than the loops value. That explains Tvortkos observation: "Because I am seeing udelay(500) (_occasionally_) being short, and that by delaying for some duration between 0us (yep) and 491us." Make those variables explicitely u32 again, so this works for both 32 and 64 bit.
