2010-03-15x86, mm: Allow highmem user page tables to be disabled at boot timeIan Campbell
commit 14315592009c17035cac81f4954d5a1f4d71e489 upstream. Distros generally (I looked at Debian, RHEL5 and SLES11) seem to enable CONFIG_HIGHPTE for any x86 configuration which has highmem enabled. This means that the overhead applies even to machines which have a fairly modest amount of high memory and which therefore do not really benefit from allocating PTEs in high memory but still pay the price of the additional mapping operations. Running kernbench on a 4G box I found that with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but no actual highptes being allocated there was a reduction in system time used from 59.737s to 55.9s. With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y and highmem PTEs being allocated: Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation): Elapsed Time 175.396 (0.238914) User Time 515.983 (5.85019) System Time 59.737 (1.26727) Percent CPU 263.8 (71.6796) Context Switches 39989.7 (4672.64) Sleeps 42617.7 (246.307) With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but with no highmem PTEs being allocated: Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation): Elapsed Time 174.278 (0.831968) User Time 515.659 (6.07012) System Time 55.9 (1.07799) Percent CPU 263.8 (71.266) Context Switches 39929.6 (4485.13) Sleeps 42583.7 (373.039) This patch allows the user to control the allocation of PTEs in highmem from the command line ("userpte=nohigh") but retains the status-quo as the default. It is possible that some simple heuristic could be developed which allows auto-tuning of this option however I don't have a sufficiently large machine available to me to perform any particularly meaningful experiments. We could probably handwave up an argument for a threshold at 16G of total RAM. Assuming 768M of lowmem we have 196608 potential lowmem PTE pages. Each page can map 2M of RAM in a PAE-enabled configuration, meaning a maximum of 384G of RAM could potentially be mapped using lowmem PTEs. Even allowing generous factor of 10 to account for other required lowmem allocations, generous slop to account for page sharing (which reduces the total amount of RAM mappable by a given number of PT pages) and other innacuracies in the estimations it would seem that even a 32G machine would not have a particularly pressing need for highmem PTEs. I think 32G could be considered to be at the upper bound of what might be sensible on a 32 bit machine (although I think in practice 64G is still supported). It's seems questionable if HIGHPTE is even a win for any amount of RAM you would sensibly run a 32 bit kernel on rather than going 64 bit.

2010-03-15x86: Avoid race condition in pci_enable_msix()Brandon Phiilps
commit ced5b697a76d325e7a7ac7d382dbbb632c765093 upstream. Keep chip_data in create_irq_nr and destroy_irq. When two drivers are setting up MSI-X at the same time via pci_enable_msix() there is a race. See this dmesg excerpt: [ 85.170610] ixgbe 0000:02:00.1: irq 97 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170611] alloc irq_desc for 99 on node -1 [ 85.170613] igb 0000:08:00.1: irq 98 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170614] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170616] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170617] alloc irq_desc for 100 on node -1 [ 85.170619] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170621] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170625] ixgbe 0000:02:00.1: irq 99 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170626] alloc irq_desc for 101 on node -1 [ 85.170628] igb 0000:08:00.1: irq 100 for MSI/MSI-X [ 85.170630] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170631] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170635] alloc irq_desc for 102 on node -1 [ 85.170636] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 [ 85.170639] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1 [ 85.170646] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000088 As you can see igb and ixgbe are both alternating on create_irq_nr() via pci_enable_msix() in their probe function. ixgbe: While looping through irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr() ixgbe choses irq_desc_ptrs[102] and exits the loop, drops vector_lock and calls dynamic_irq_init. Then it sets irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data = NULL via dynamic_irq_init(). igb: Grabs the vector_lock now and starts looping over irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr(). It gets to irq_desc_ptrs[102] and does this: cfg_new = irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data; if (cfg_new->vector != 0) continue; This hits the NULL deref. Another possible race exists via pci_disable_msix() in a driver or in the number of error paths that call free_msi_irqs(): destroy_irq() dynamic_irq_cleanup() which sets desc->chip_data = NULL ...race window... desc->chip_data = cfg; Remove the save and restore code for cfg in create_irq_nr() and destroy_irq() and take the desc->lock when checking the irq_cfg.

2010-03-15x86, xen: Disable highmem PTE allocation even when CONFIG_HIGHPTE=yIan Campbell
commit 817a824b75b1475f1b067c8cee318c7b4d66fcde upstream. There's a path in the pagefault code where the kernel deliberately breaks its own locking rules by kmapping a high pte page without holding the pagetable lock (in at least page_check_address). This breaks Xen's ability to track the pinned/unpinned state of the page. There does not appear to be a viable workaround for this behaviour so simply disable HIGHPTE for all Xen guests.

commit 89baaaa98a10cad5cc8516c7208b02d9fc711890 upstream. Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations (especially for 32 bit) or system setups exist, where the node number is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not reliable and may fail though IBS setup was fine. For this reason it is better to remove the check.

2010-03-15x86/PCI: Prevent mmconfig memory corruptionThomas Gleixner
commit bb8d41330ce27edb91adb6922d3f8e1a8923f727 upstream. commit ff097ddd4 (x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: manage pci_mmcfg_region as a list, not a table) introduced a nasty memory corruption when pci_mmcfg_list is empty. pci_mmcfg_check_end_bus_number() dereferences pci_mmcfg_list.prev even when the list is empty. The following write hits some variable near to pci_mmcfg_list. Further down a similar problem exists, where cfg->list.next is dereferenced unconditionally and a comparison with some variable near to pci_mmcfg_list happens. Add a check for the last element into the for_each_entry() loop and remove all the other crappy logic which is just a leftover of the old array based code which was replaced by the list conversion.

Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during boot. This can prevent systems booting properly. There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be booted. So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via the kernel command line. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2010-02-19sparc64: Fix sun4u execute bit check in TSB I-TLB load.David S. Miller
Thanks to testcase and report from Brad Spengler: -------------------- #include <stdio.h> typedef int (* _wee)(void); int main(void) { char buf[8] = { '\x81', '\xc7', '\xe0', '\x08', '\x81', '\xe8', '\x00', '\x00' }; _wee wee; printf("%p\n", &buf); wee = (_wee)&buf; wee(); return 0; } -------------------- TSB I-tlb load code tries to use andcc to check the _PAGE_EXEC_4U bit, but that's bit 12 so it gets sign extended all the way up to bit 63 and the test nearly always passes as a result. Use sethi to fix the bug. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-19hw-breakpoint: Keep track of dr7 local enable bitsFrederic Weisbecker
When the user enables breakpoints through dr7, he can choose between "local" or "global" enable bits but given how linux is implemented, both have the same effect. That said we don't keep track how the user enabled the breakpoints so when the user requests the dr7 value, we only translate the "enabled" status using the global enabled bits. It means that if the user enabled a breakpoint using the local enabled bit, reading back dr7 will set the global bit and clear the local one. Apps like Wine expect a full dr7 POKEUSER/PEEKUSER match for emulated softwares that implement old reverse engineering protection schemes. We fix that by keeping track of the whole dr7 value given by the user in the thread structure to drop this bug. We'll think about something more proper later. This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.

2010-02-19hw-breakpoints: Accept breakpoints on NULL addressFrederic Weisbecker
Before we had a generic breakpoint API, ptrace was accepting breakpoints on NULL address in x86. The new API refuse them, without given strong reasons. We need to follow the previous behaviour as some userspace apps like Wine need such NULL breakpoints to ensure old emulated software protections are still working. This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.

The 'outer_cache' variable is needed by the outer_inv_range(), outer_clean_range() and outer_flush_range() functions, which are declared as inline in asm/cacheflush.h. Otherwise drivers built as a loadable module, which access these functions, will have an undefined symbol.

We broke "acpi=ht" in 2.6.32 by disabling MADT parsing for acpi=disabled. e5b8fc6ac158f65598f58dba2c0d52ba3b412f52 This also broke systems which invoked acpi=ht via DMI blacklist. acpi=ht is a really ugly hack, but restore it for those that still use it. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14886 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
