commit be716615fe596ee117292dc615e95f707fb67fd1 upstream.
Commit 3d2a71a596bd9c761c8487a2178e95f8a61da083 ("x86, traps: converge
do_debug handlers") changed the preemption disable logic of do_debug()
so vm86_handle_trap() is called with preemption disabled resulting in:

commit 4f06b0436b2ddbd3b67b10e77098a6862787b3eb upstream.
Impact: fix race leading to crash under KVM and Xen
The CPA code may be called while we're in lazy mmu update mode - for
example, when using DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC and doing a slab allocation
in an interrupt handler which interrupted a lazy mmu update. In this
case, the in-memory pagetable state may be out of date due to pending
queued updates. We need to flush any pending updates before inspecting
the page table. Similarly, we must explicitly flush any modifications
CPA may have made (which comes down to flushing queued operations when
flushing the TLB).

commit 55a8ba4b7f76bebd7e8ce3f74c04b140627a1bad upstream.
Commit 6194ba6ff6ccf8d5c54c857600843c67aa82c407 ("x86: don't special-case
pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations,
and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the
pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path.
As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the
pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a
page table page.
After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and
depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance
and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots).
Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from
the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

commit 858770619debfb9269add63e4ba8b7c6b5538dd1 upstream.
Impact: fix to enable APIC for AMD Fam10h on chipsets with a missing/b0rked
ACPI MP table (MADT)
Booting a 32bit kernel on an AMD Fam10h CPU running on chipsets with
missing/b0rked MP table leads to a hang pretty early in the boot process
due to the APIC not being initialized. Fix that by falling back to the
default APIC base address in 32bit code, as it is done in the 64bit
codepath.

commit 13b40a1a065824d2d4e55c8b48ea9f3f9d162929 upstream.
The Cx Register address obtained from the _CST object is used as the MWAIT
hints if the register type is FFixedHW. And it is used to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.
On some boxes the following Cx state package is obtained from _CST object:
>{
ResourceTemplate ()
{
Register (FFixedHW,
0x01, // Bit Width
0x02, // Bit Offset
0x0000000000889759, // Address
0x03, // Access Size
)
},
0x03,
0xF5,
0x015E }
In such case we should use the bit[7:4] of Cx address to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.
mask the MWAIT hint to avoid array address overflow

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an
early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments
are written before all input arguments are read.
Also add more early clobbers in the rest of the file and fix 32-bit
usercopy.c in the same way.

> x86: track memtype for RAM in page struct
This commit breaks mapping any RAM page through /dev/mem, as the
reserve_memtype() was not initializing the return attribute type and as such
corrupting the PTE entry that was setup with the return attribute type.
Because of this bug, application mapping this RAM page through /dev/mem
will die with "Corrupted page table at address xxxx" message in the kernel
log and also the kernel identity mapping which maps the underlying RAM
page gets converted to UC.
Fix this by initializing the return attribute type before calling
reserve_ram_pages_type()

Here X is trying to map first 8KB of memory using /dev/mem. Existing
code treats first 0-4KB of memory as non-RAM and 4KB-8KB as RAM. Recent
code changes don't allow to map memory with different attributes
at the same time.
Fix this by treating the first 1MB legacy region as special and always
track the attribute requests with in this region using linear linked
list (and don't bother if the range is RAM or non-RAM or mixed)

commit 70b66cbfd3316b792a855cb9a2574e85f1a63d0f upstream.
init_srm_irq() deals with irq's #16 and above, but size of irq_desc
array on nautilus and some other system types is 16. So gcc-4.3
complains that "array subscript is above array bounds", even though
this function is never called on those systems.
This adds a check for NR_IRQS <= 16, which effectively optimizes
init_srm_irq() code away on problematic platforms.
Thanks to Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> for detailed analysis
of the problem.

commit a1e46212a410793d575718818e81ddc442a65283 upstream.
Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages
This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit
58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.
This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.
In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.
If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes,
existing code fails like this:
__change_page_attr_set_clr()
__change_page_attr()
returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
cpa_process_alias()
uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
which can potentially lead to changing the page
attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!
This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.
Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)

[<c0218875>] do_page_fault+0x36f/0x88a
This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.
This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.
union {
struct {
unsigned long private;
struct address_space *mapping;
};
spinlock_t ptl;
struct kmem_cache *slab;
struct page *first_page;
};
Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.
But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.
The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.
It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

commit 2218108e182fd8a6d9106077833ed7ad05fc8e75 upstream.
When running Active Memory Sharing, the Collaborative Memory Manager
(CMM) may mark some pages as "loaned" with the hypervisor.
Periodically, the CMM will query the hypervisor for a loan request,
which is a single signed value. When kexec'ing into a kdump kernel,
the CMM driver in the kdump kernel is not aware of the pages the
previous kernel had marked as "loaned", so the hypervisor and the CMM
driver are out of sync. This results in the CMM driver getting a
negative loan request, which can then get treated as a large unsigned
value and can cause kdump to hang due to the CMM driver inflating too
large. Since there really is no clean way for the CMM driver in the
kdump kernel to clean this up, simply disable CMM in the kdump kernel.
This fixes hangs we were seeing doing kdump with AMS.

commit f313e12308f7c5ea645f18e759d104d088b18615 upstream.
Ajith Kumar noticed:
I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear
about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function.
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address);
pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address);
Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending
faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);
We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

commit 1a94bc34768e463a93cb3751819709ab0ea80a01 upstream.
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
By selecting HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS architectures can activate
system call wrappers in order to sign extend system call arguments.
All architectures where the ABI defines that the caller of a function
has to perform sign extension probably need this.

commit 1134723e96f6e2abcf8bfd7a2d1c96fcc323ef35 upstream.
Remove __attribute__((weak)) from common code sys_pipe implemantation.
IA64, ALPHA, SUPERH (32bit) and SPARC (32bit) have own implemantations
with the same name. Just rename them.
For sys_pipe2 there is no architecture specific implementation.

commit 26799a63110dcbe81291ea53178f6b4810d07424 upstream.
The pda rework (commit 3461b0af025251bbc6b3d56c821c6ac2de6f7209)
to remove static boot cpu pdas introduced a performance bug.
_boot_cpu_pda is the actual pda used by the boot cpu and is definitely
not "__read_mostly" and ended up polluting the read mostly section with
writes. This bug caused regression of about 8-10% on certain syscall
intensive workloads.

commit 46814dded1b972a07b1609d81632eef3009fbb10 upstream.
Impact: fix crash on x86/UV
UV is the SGI "UltraViolet" machine, which is x86_64 based.
BAU is the "Broadcast Assist Unit", used for TLB shootdown in UV.
This patch removes the allocation and initialization of an unused table.
This table is left over from a development test mode. It is unused in
the present code.
And it was incorrectly initialized: 8 entries allocated but 17 initialized,
causing slab corruption.
This patch should go into 2.6.27 and 2.6.28 as well as the current tree.

Impact: fixes korg bugzilla 11980
A kernel for a 64bit x86 system should always contain the swiotlb code
in case it is booted on a machine without any hardware IOMMU supported
by the kernel and more than 4GB of RAM. This patch changes Kconfig to
always compile swiotlb into the kernel for x86_64.

commit 345077cd98ff5532b2d1158013c3fec7b1ae85ec upstream.
Impact: fix wrong cache sharing detection on platforms supporting > 8 bit apicid's
In the presence of extended topology eumeration leaf 0xb provided
by cpuid, 32bit extended initial_apicid in cpuinfo_x86 struct will be
updated by detect_extended_topology(). At this instance, we should also
reinit the apicid (which could also potentially be extended to 32bit).
With out this there will potentially be duplicate apicid's populated in the
per cpu's cpuinfo_x86 struct, resulting in wrong cache sharing topology etc
detected by init_intel_cacheinfo().

x86: disable X86_PTRACE_BTS
|
|
there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28:
config X86_PTRACE_BTS
bool "Branch Trace Store"
it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into
a new task without clearing it.
Fixes exist but they came too late:
c5dee61: x86, bts: memory accounting
bf53de9: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling
and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not
tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and
reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS
facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code.

flush_tlb_mm's "optimized" uniprocessor case of allocating a new
context for userspace is exposing a race where we can suddely return
to a syscall with the protection id and space id out of sync, trapping

Impact: fix deadlock
This is in response to the following bug report:
Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100
Subject : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L
Submitter : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de>
Date : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old)
Handled-By : Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com>
[ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ]
I think I might have a logical explanation why the system:
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100)
might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time.
(1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is
taken;
(2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer
ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd
think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should
be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem
logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with
memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of
the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a
deadlock.
Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same
version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this
issue has never popped up.
I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the
2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock...").
In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.
