Pull leftover x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Two leftover fixes that did not make it into v3.13"
* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86: Add check for number of available vectors before CPU down
x86, cpu, amd: Add workaround for family 16h, erratum 793
|
|
This adds the workaround for erratum 793 as a precaution in case not
every BIOS implements it. This addresses CVE-2013-6885.
Erratum text:
[Revision Guide for AMD Family 16h Models 00h-0Fh Processors,
document 51810 Rev. 3.04 November 2013]
793 Specific Combination of Writes to Write Combined Memory Types and
Locked Instructions May Cause Core Hang
Description
Under a highly specific and detailed set of internal timing
conditions, a locked instruction may trigger a timing sequence whereby
the write to a write combined memory type is not flushed, causing the
locked instruction to stall indefinitely.
Potential Effect on System
Processor core hang.
Suggested Workaround
BIOS should set MSR
C001_1020[15] = 1b.
Fix Planned
No fix planned
[ hpa: updated description, fixed typo in MSR name ]

Old kexec-tools can not load new kernels. The reason is kexec-tools does
not fill efi_info in x86 setup header previously, thus EFI failed to
initialize. In new kexec-tools it will by default to fill efi_info and
pass other EFI required infomation to 2nd kernel so kexec kernel EFI
initialization can succeed finally.
To prevent from breaking userspace, add a new xloadflags bit so
kexec-tools can check the flag and switch to old logic.

Add a new setup_data type SETUP_EFI for kexec use. Passing the saved
fw_vendor, runtime, config tables and EFI runtime mappings.
When entering virtual mode, directly mapping the EFI runtime regions
which we passed in previously. And skip the step to call
SetVirtualAddressMap().
Specially for HP z420 workstation we need save the smbios physical
address. The kernel boot sequence proceeds in the following order.
Step 2 requires efi.smbios to be the physical address. However, I found
that on HP z420 EFI system table has a virtual address of SMBIOS in step
1. Hence, we need set it back to the physical address with the smbios
in efi_setup_data. (When it is still the physical address, it simply
sets the same value.)
1. efi_init() - Set efi.smbios from EFI system table
2. dmi_scan_machine() - Temporary map efi.smbios to access SMBIOS table
3. efi_enter_virtual_mode() - Map EFI ranges
Tested on ovmf+qemu, lenovo thinkpad, a dell laptop and an
HP z420 workstation.

Pull KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Here are the 3.13 KVM changes. There was a lot of work on the PPC
side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel
is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view.
On the x86 side there are nested virtualization improvements and a few
bugfixes.
ARM got transparent huge page support, improved overcommit, and
support for big endian guests.
Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO. This
helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the
driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions. This includes some
nVidia cards on Windows, that fail to start without these patches and
the corresponding userspace changes"

Support the next generation Intel Atom processor
mirco-architecture, formerly called Silvermont.
The server version, formerly called "Avoton",
is named the "Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor C2000 Product Family".
The client version, formerly called "Bay Trail",
is named the "Intel Atom Processor Z3000 Series",
as well as various "Intel Pentium Processor"
and "Intel Celeron Processor" brands, depending
on form-factor.
Silvermont has a set of MSRs not far off from NHM,
but the RAPL register set is a sub-set of those previously supported.

mrst is used as common name to represent all intel_mid type
soc's. But moorsetwon is just one of the intel_mid soc. So
renamed them to use intel_mid.
This patch mainly renames the variables and related
functions that uses *mrst* prefix with *intel_mid*.
To ensure that there are no functional changes, I have compared
the objdump of related files before and after rename and found
the only difference is symbol and name changes.

Hyper-V supports a mechanism for retrieving the local APIC frequency.
Use this and bypass the calibration code in the kernel . This would
allow us to boot the Linux kernel as a "modern VM" on Hyper-V where
many of the legacy devices (such as PIT) are not emulated.

If we let L1 use EPT, we should probably also support the INVEPT instruction.
In our current nested EPT implementation, when L1 changes its EPT table
for L2 (i.e., EPT12), L0 modifies the shadow EPT table (EPT02), and in
the course of this modification already calls INVEPT. But if last level
of shadow page is unsync not all L1's changes to EPT12 are intercepted,
which means roots need to be synced when L1 calls INVEPT. Global INVEPT
should not be different since roots are synced by kvm_mmu_load() each
time EPTP02 changes.

Recent Intel CPUs like Haswell and IvyBridge have a new
alternative MSR range for perfctrs that allows writing the full
counter width. Enable this range if the hardware reports it
using a new capability bit.
Currently the perf code queries CPUID to get the counter width,
and sign extends the counter values as needed. The traditional
PERFCTR MSRs always limit to 32bit, even though the counter
internally is larger (usually 48 bits on recent CPUs)
When the new capability is set use the alternative range which
do not have these restrictions.
This lowers the overhead of perf stat slightly because it has to
do less interrupts to accumulate the counter value. On Haswell
it also avoids some problems with TSX aborting when the end of
the counter range is reached.
( See the patch "perf/x86/intel: Avoid checkpointed counters
causing excessive TSX aborts" for more details. )

This patch reworks the UEFI anti-bricking code, including an effective
reversion of cc5a080c and 31ff2f20. It turns out that calling
QueryVariableInfo() from boot services results in some firmware
implementations jumping to physical addresses even after entering virtual
mode, so until we have 1:1 mappings for UEFI runtime space this isn't
going to work so well.
Reverting these gets us back to the situation where we'd refuse to create
variables on some systems because they classify deleted variables as "used"
until the firmware triggers a garbage collection run, which they won't do
until they reach a lower threshold. This results in it being impossible to
install a bootloader, which is unhelpful.
Feedback from Samsung indicates that the firmware doesn't need more than
5KB of storage space for its own purposes, so that seems like a reasonable
threshold. However, there's still no guarantee that a platform will attempt
garbage collection merely because it drops below this threshold. It seems
that this is often only triggered if an attempt to write generates a
genuine EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error. We can force that by attempting to
create a variable larger than the remaining space. This should fail, but if
it somehow succeeds we can then immediately delete it.
I've tested this on the UEFI machines I have available, but I don't have
a Samsung and so can't verify that it avoids the bricking problem.

EFI variables can be flagged as being accessible only within boot services.
This makes it awkward for us to figure out how much space they use at
runtime. In theory we could figure this out by simply comparing the results
from QueryVariableInfo() to the space used by all of our variables, but
that fails if the platform doesn't garbage collect on every boot. Thankfully,
calling QueryVariableInfo() while still inside boot services gives a more
reliable answer. This patch passes that information from the EFI boot stub
up to the efi platform code.

This patch adds support for memory profiling using the
PEBS Load Latency facility.
Load accesses are sampled by HW and the instruction
address, data address, load latency, data source, tlb,
locked information can be saved in the sampling buffer
if using the PERF_SAMPLE_COST (for latency),
PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR, PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC types.
To enable PEBS Load Latency, users have to use the
model specific event:
- on NHM/WSM: MEM_INST_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD
- on SNB/IVB: MEM_TRANS_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD
To make things easier, this patch also exports a generic
alias via sysfs: mem-loads. It export the right event
encoding based on the host CPU and can be used directly
by the perf tool.
Loosely based on Intel's Lin Ming patch posted on LKML
in July 2011.

- Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was

- tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller

- Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by

- Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob

- This tracing commit:
tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events
changes the ABI. All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...
Main tooling side changes:
- Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:
To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And
then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can
use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:
$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]
$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}
With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately.
You can use --group option to enable event group view:
$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ....... ................. ..........................
99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp
0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del
0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time
0.01% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
0.00% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe

0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks
0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time
As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles
and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
group { ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of
group leader first.
- Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim.
- Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report,
just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current
directory will be presented, from Feng Tang.
- Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri
Olsa.
- Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from
Stephane Eranian.
- Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian.
- 'perf test' improvements
- Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri
Olsa.
- Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.
- perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being
put in place by organizations such as Fedora.
- perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with
'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top'
snapshots, etc.
- perf top now supports DWARF callchains.
- Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller.
- 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite
- ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other
improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for
details."

On AMD family 15h processors, there are 4 new performance
counters (in addition to 6 core performance counters) that can
be used for counting northbridge events (i.e. DRAM accesses).
Their bit fields are almost identical to the core performance
counters. However, unlike the core performance counters, these
MSRs are shared between multiple cores (that share the same
northbridge).
We will reuse the same code path as existing family 10h
northbridge event constraints handler logic to enforce
this sharing.

The SMI counter is popular -- so display it by default
rather than requiring an option. What the heck,
we've blown the 80 column budget on many systems already...
Note that the value displayed is the delta
during the measurement interval.
The absolute value of the counter can still be seen with
the generic 32-bit MSR option, ie. -m 0x34

Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol: add xloadflags and additional
fields to allow the command line, initramfs and struct boot_params to
live above the 4 GiB mark.
The xloadflags now communicates if this is a 64-bit kernel with the
legacy 64-bit entry point and which of the EFI handover entry points
are supported.
Avoid adding new read flags to loadflags because of claimed
bootloaders testing the whole byte for == 1 to determine bzImageness
at least until the issue can be researched further.
This is based on patches by Yinghai Lu and David Woodhouse.

Retract back most macro definitions which went into the
user-visible mce.h header. Even though those bits are mostly
hardware-defined/-architectural, their naming is not. If we export them
to userspace, any kernel unification/renaming/cleanup cannot be done
anymore since those are effectively cast in stone. Besides, if userspace
wants those definitions, they can write their own defines and go crazy.
