2014-07-17x86, ioremap: Speed up check for RAM pagesRoland Dreier
commit c81c8a1eeede61e92a15103748c23d100880cc8a upstream. In __ioremap_caller() (the guts of ioremap), we loop over the range of pfns being remapped and checks each one individually with page_is_ram(). For large ioremaps, this can be very slow. For example, we have a device with a 256 GiB PCI BAR, and ioremapping this BAR can take 20+ seconds -- sometimes long enough to trigger the soft lockup detector! Internally, page_is_ram() calls walk_system_ram_range() on a single page. Instead, we can make a single call to walk_system_ram_range() from __ioremap_caller(), and do our further checks only for any RAM pages that we find. For the common case of MMIO, this saves an enormous amount of work, since the range being ioremapped doesn't intersect system RAM at all. With this change, ioremap on our 256 GiB BAR takes less than 1 second.

commit fa2ec3ea10bd377f9d55772b1dab65178425a1a2 upstream. include/linux/sched.h implements TASK_SIZE_OF as TASK_SIZE if it is not set by the architecture headers. TASK_SIZE uses the current task to determine the size of the virtual address space. On a 64-bit kernel this will cause reading /proc/pid/pagemap of a 64-bit process from a 32-bit process to return EOF when it reads past 0xffffffff.

2014-07-17powerpc/perf: Clear MMCR2 when enabling PMUJoel Stanley
commit b50a6c584bb47b370f84bfd746770c0bbe7129b7 upstream. On POWER8 when switching to a KVM guest we set bits in MMCR2 to freeze the PMU counters. Aside from on boot they are then never reset, resulting in stuck perf counters for any user in the guest or host. We now set MMCR2 to 0 whenever enabling the PMU, which provides a sane state for perf to use the PMU counters under either the guest or the host. This was manifesting as a bug with ppc64_cpu --frequency: $ sudo ppc64_cpu --frequency WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 0 WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 8 ... WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 144 WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 152 min: 18446744073.710 GHz (cpu -1) max: 0.000 GHz (cpu -1) avg: 0.000 GHz The command uses a perf counter to measure CPU cycles over a fixed amount of time, in order to approximate the frequency of the machine. The counters were returning zero once a guest was started, regardless of weather it was still running or had been shut down. By dumping the value of MMCR2, it was observed that once a guest is running MMCR2 is set to 1s - which stops counters from running: $ sudo sh -c 'echo p > /proc/sysrq-trigger' CPU: 0 PMU registers, ppmu = POWER8 n_counters = 6 PMC1: 5b635e38 PMC2: 00000000 PMC3: 00000000 PMC4: 00000000 PMC5: 1bf5a646 PMC6: 5793d378 PMC7: deadbeef PMC8: deadbeef MMCR0: 0000000080000000 MMCR1: 000000001e000000 MMCRA: 0000040000000000 MMCR2: fffffffffffffc00 EBBHR: 0000000000000000 EBBRR: 0000000000000000 BESCR: 0000000000000000 SIAR: 00000000000a51cc SDAR: c00000000fc40000 SIER: 0000000001000000 This is done unconditionally in book3s_hv_interrupts.S upon entering the guest, and the original value is only save/restored if the host has indicated it was using the PMU.

commit f56029410a13cae3652d1f34788045c40a13ffc7 upstream. We are seeing a lot of PMU warnings on POWER8: Can't find PMC that caused IRQ Looking closer, the active PMC is 0 at this point and we took a PMU exception on the transition from negative to 0. Some versions of POWER8 have an issue where they edge detect and not level detect PMC overflows. A number of places program the PMC with (0x80000000 - period_left), where period_left can be negative. We can either fix all of these or just ensure that period_left is always >= 1. This patch takes the second option.

2014-07-09ARM: OMAP2+: Fix parser-bug in platform muxing codeDavid R. Piegdon
commit c021f241f4fab2bb4fc4120a38a828a03dd3f970 upstream. Fix a parser-bug in the omap2 muxing code where muxtable-entries will be wrongly selected if the requested muxname is a *prefix* of their m0-entry and they have a matching mN-entry. Fix by additionally checking that the length of the m0_entry is equal. For example muxing of "dss_data2.dss_data2" on omap32xx will fail because the prefix "dss_data2" will match the mux-entries "dss_data2" as well as "dss_data20", with the suffix "dss_data2" matching m0 (for dss_data2) and m4 (for dss_data20). Thus both are recognized as signal path candidates: Relevant muxentries from mux34xx.c: _OMAP3_MUXENTRY(DSS_DATA20, 90, "dss_data20", NULL, "mcspi3_somi", "dss_data2", "gpio_90", NULL, NULL, "safe_mode"), _OMAP3_MUXENTRY(DSS_DATA2, 72, "dss_data2", NULL, NULL, NULL, "gpio_72", NULL, NULL, "safe_mode"), This will result in a failure to mux the pin at all: _omap_mux_get_by_name: Multiple signal paths (2) for dss_data2.dss_data2 Patch should apply to linus' latest master down to rather old linux-2.6 trees.

2014-07-06ptrace,x86: force IRET path after a ptrace_stop()Tejun Heo
commit b9cd18de4db3c9ffa7e17b0dc0ca99ed5aa4d43a upstream. The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values. That is very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'. Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which always returns with an iret. However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to return to user space using 'sysret'. Otherwise the modifications that may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't necessarily take effect. Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().

2014-07-06MIPS: MSC: Prevent out-of-bounds writes to MIPS SC ioremap'd regionMarkos Chandras
commit ab6c15bc6620ebe220970cc040b29bcb2757f373 upstream. Previously, the lower limit for the MIPS SC initialization loop was set incorrectly allowing one extra loop leading to writes beyond the MSC ioremap'd space. More precisely, the value of the 'imp' in the last loop increased beyond the msc_irqmap_t boundaries and as a result of which, the 'n' variable was loaded with an incorrect value. This value was used later on to calculate the offset in the MSC01_IC_SUP which led to random crashes like the following one: CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e75c0200, epc == 8058dba4, ra == 8058db90 [...] Call Trace: [<8058dba4>] init_msc_irqs+0x104/0x154 [<8058b5bc>] arch_init_irq+0xd8/0x154 [<805897b0>] start_kernel+0x220/0x36c Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

2014-06-30x86, x32: Use compat shims for io_{setup,submit}Mike Frysinger
commit 7fd44dacdd803c0bbf38bf478d51d280902bb0f1 upstream. The io_setup takes a pointer to a context id of type aio_context_t. This in turn is typed to a __kernel_ulong_t. We could tweak the exported headers to define this as a 64bit quantity for specific ABIs, but since we already have a 32bit compat shim for the x86 ABI, let's just re-use that logic. The libaio package is also written to expect this as a pointer type, so a compat shim would simplify that. The io_submit func operates on an array of pointers to iocb structs. Padding out the array to be 64bit aligned is a huge pain, so convert it over to the existing compat shim too. We don't convert io_getevents to the compat func as its only purpose is to handle the timespec struct, and the x32 ABI uses 64bit times. With this change, the libaio package can now pass its testsuite when built for the x32 ABI.

The bug is happened in cpu_v7_set_pte_ext(ptep, pte): An LPAE PTE is a 64bit quantity, passed to cpu_v7_set_pte_ext in the r2 and r3 registers. On an LE kernel, r2 contains the LSB of the PTE, and r3 the MSB. On a BE kernel, the assignment is reversed. Unfortunately, the current code always assumes the LE case, leading to corruption of the PTE when clearing/setting bits. This patch fixes this issue much like it has been done already in the cpu_v7_switch_mm case.

2014-06-30ARM: stacktrace: avoid listing stacktrace functions in stacktraceRussell King
commit 3683f44c42e991d313dc301504ee0fca1aeb8580 upstream. While debugging the FEC ethernet driver using stacktrace, it was noticed that the stacktraces always begin as follows: [<c00117b4>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x0/0x98 [<c0011870>] save_stack_trace+0x24/0x28 ... This is because the stack trace code includes the stack frames for itself. This is incorrect behaviour, and also leads to "skip" doing the wrong thing (which is the number of stack frames to avoid recording.) Perversely, it does the right thing when passed a non-current thread. Fix this by ensuring that we have a known constant number of frames above the main stack trace function, and always skip these.

2014-06-30s390/lowcore: reserve 96 bytes for IRB in lowcoreChristian Borntraeger
commit 993072ee67aa179c48c85eb19869804e68887d86 upstream. The IRB might be 96 bytes if the extended-I/O-measurement facility is used. This feature is currently not used by Linux, but struct irb already has the emw defined. So let's make the irb in lowcore match the size of the internal data structure to be future proof. We also have to add a pad, to correctly align the paste. The bigger irb field also circumvents a bug in some QEMU versions that always write the emw field on test subchannel and therefore destroy the paste definitions of this CPU. Running under these QEMU version broke some timing functions in the VDSO and all users of these functions, e.g. some JREs.

2014-06-30arm64: ptrace: change fs when passing kernel pointer to regset codeWill Deacon
commit c168870704bcde6bb63d05f7882b620dd3985a46 upstream. Our compat PTRACE_POKEUSR implementation simply passes the user data to regset_copy_from_user after some simple range checking. Unfortunately, the data in question has already been copied to the kernel stack by this point, so the subsequent access_ok check fails and the ptrace request returns -EFAULT. This causes problems tracing fork() with older versions of strace. This patch briefly changes the fs to KERNEL_DS, so that the access_ok check passes even with a kernel address.

Commit 193ab2a60700 ("usb: gadget: allow multiple gadgets to be built") apparently required that checks for CONFIG_USB_GADGET_OMAP would be replaced with checks for CONFIG_USB_OMAP. Do so now for the remaining checks for CONFIG_USB_GADGET_OMAP, even though these checks have basically been broken since v3.1. And, since we're touching this code, use the IS_ENABLED() macro, so things will now (hopefully) also work if USB_OMAP is modular.

2014-06-26MIPS: KVM: Allocate at least 16KB for exception handlersJames Hogan
commit 7006e2dfda9adfa40251093604db76d7e44263b3 upstream. Each MIPS KVM guest has its own copy of the KVM exception vector. This contains the TLB refill exception handler at offset 0x000, the general exception handler at offset 0x180, and interrupt exception handlers at offset 0x200 in case Cause_IV=1. A common handler is copied to offset 0x2000 and offset 0x3000 is used for temporarily storing k1 during entry from guest. However the amount of memory allocated for this purpose is calculated as 0x200 rounded up to the next page boundary, which is insufficient if 4KB pages are in use. This can lead to the common handler at offset 0x2000 being overwritten and infinitely recursive exceptions on the next exit from the guest. Increase the minimum size from 0x200 to 0x4000 to cover the full use of the page.

2014-06-26KVM: lapic: sync highest ISR to hardware apic on EOIPaolo Bonzini
commit fc57ac2c9ca8109ea97fcc594f4be436944230cc upstream. When Hyper-V enlightenments are in effect, Windows prefers to issue an Hyper-V MSR write to issue an EOI rather than an x2apic MSR write. The Hyper-V MSR write is not handled by the processor, and besides being slower, this also causes bugs with APIC virtualization. The reason is that on EOI the processor will modify the highest in-service interrupt (SVI) field of the VMCS, as explained in section 29.1.4 of the SDM; every other step in EOI virtualization is already done by apic_send_eoi or on VM entry, but this one is missing. We need to do the same, and be careful not to muck with the isr_count and highest_isr_cache fields that are unused when virtual interrupt delivery is enabled.

commit 6e20bae8a39c40d4e03698e4160bad2d2629062b upstream. The mvebu-devbus driver had a serious bug, which lead to a 8 bits bus width declared in the Device Tree being considered as a 16 bits bus width when configuring the hardware. This bug in mvebu-devbus driver was compensated by a symetric mistake in the Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3 Device Tree: a 8 bits bus width was declared, even though the hardware actually has a 16 bits bus width connection with the NOR flash. Now that we have fixed the mvebu-devbus driver to behave according to its Device Tree binding, this commit fixes the problematic Device Tree files as well.

2014-06-11perf: Drop sample rate when sampling is too slowDave Hansen
commit 14c63f17b1fde5a575a28e96547a22b451c71fb5 upstream. This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking, and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If the sample length times the expected max number of samples exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate. This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the CPU. This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs. I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's busted and undebuggable any day. BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here. Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on. But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine hanging all the time.

When building up a 64-bit value with lis, ori, shl, oris, ori or similar sequences, you now should use @high and @higha in place of @h and @ha. @h and @ha (and their associated relocs R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI and R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA) now report overflow if the value is out of 32-bit signed range. ie. @h and @ha assume you're building a 32-bit value. This is needed to report out-of-range -mcmodel=medium toc pointer offsets in @toc@h and @toc@ha expressions, and for consistency I did the same for all other @h and @ha relocs. Replacing @h with @high in one strategic location fixes the relocation errors. This has to be done conditionally since the assembler either supports @h or @high but not both.

commit 621b5060e823301d0cba4cb52a7ee3491922d291 upstream. When we fork/clone we currently don't copy any of the TM state to the new thread. This results in a TM bad thing (program check) when the new process is switched in as the kernel does a tmrechkpt with TEXASR FS not set. Also, since R1 is from userspace, we trigger the bad kernel stack pointer detection. So we end up with something like this: Bad kernel stack pointer 0 at c0000000000404fc cpu 0x2: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c00000003ffefd40] pc: c0000000000404fc: restore_gprs+0xc0/0x148 lr: 0000000000000000 sp: 0 msr: 9000000100201030 current = 0xc000001dd1417c30 paca = 0xc00000000fe00800 softe: 0 irq_happened: 0x01 pid = 0, comm = swapper/2 WARNING: exception is not recoverable, can't continue The below fixes this by flushing the TM state before we copy the task_struct to the clone. To do this we go through the tmreclaim patch, which removes the checkpointed registers from the CPU and transitions the CPU out of TM suspend mode. Hence we need to call tmrechkpt after to restore the checkpointed state and the TM mode for the current task. To make this fail from userspace is simply: tbegin li r0, 2 sc <boom> Kudos to Adhemerval Zanella Neto for finding this.

However, it does seem that people are genuinely using Wine to run old 16-bit Windows programs on Linux. A proper fix for this ("espfix64") is coming in the upcoming merge window, but as a temporary fix, create a sysctl to allow the administrator to re-enable support for 16-bit segments. It adds a "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" sysctl that defaults to zero (off). If you hit this issue and care about your old Windows program more than you care about a kernel stack address information leak, you can do echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16 as root (add it to your startup scripts), and you should be ok. The sysctl table is only added if you have COMPAT support enabled on x86-64, but I assume anybody who runs old windows binaries very much does that ;) Signed-off-by: H.
