2012-07-19xen/x86: avoid updating TLS descriptors if they haven't changedDavid Vrabel
When switching tasks in a Xen PV guest, avoid updating the TLS descriptors if they haven't changed. This improves the speed of context switches by almost 10% as much of the time the descriptors are the same or only one is different. The descriptors written into the GDT by Xen are modified from the values passed in the update_descriptor hypercall so we keep shadow copies of the three TLS descriptors to compare against. lmbench3 test Before After Improvement -------------------------------------------- lat_ctx -s 32 24 7.19 6.52 9% lat_pipe 12.56 11.66 7% Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

2012-07-19xen/mm: zero PTEs for non-present MFNs in the initial page tableDavid Vrabel
When constructing the initial page tables, if the MFN for a usable PFN is missing in the p2m then that frame is initially ballooned out. In this case, zero the PTE (as in decrease_reservation() in drivers/xen/balloon.c). This is obviously safe instead of having an valid PTE with an MFN of INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (~0).

2012-07-19xen/mm: do direct hypercall in xen_set_pte() if batching is unavailableDavid Vrabel
In xen_set_pte() if batching is unavailable (because the caller is in an interrupt context such as handling a page fault) it would fall back to using native_set_pte() and trapping and emulating the PTE write. On 32-bit guests this requires two traps for each PTE write (one for each dword of the PTE). Instead, do one mmu_update hypercall directly. During construction of the initial page tables, continue to use native_set_pte() because most of the PTEs being set are in writable and unpinned pages (see phys_pmd_init() in arch/x86/mm/init_64.c) and using a hypercall for this is very expensive. This significantly improves page fault performance in 32-bit PV guests. lmbench3 test Before After Improvement ---------------------------------------------- lat_pagefault 3.18 us 2.32 us 27% lat_proc fork 356 us 313.3 us 11% Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

2012-07-19x86, MCE, AMD: Adjust initcall sequence for xenLiu, Jinsong
there are 3 funcs which need to be _initcalled in a logic sequence: 1. xen_late_init_mcelog 2. mcheck_init_device 3. threshold_init_device xen_late_init_mcelog must register xen_mce_chrdev_device before native mce_chrdev_device registration if running under xen platform; mcheck_init_device should be inited before threshold_init_device to initialize mce_device, otherwise a a NULL ptr dereference will cause panic. so we use following _initcalls 1. device_initcall(xen_late_init_mcelog); 2. device_initcall_sync(mcheck_init_device); 3. late_initcall(threshold_init_device); when running under xen, the initcall order is 1,2,3; on baremetal, we skip 1 and we do only 2 and 3.

2012-07-19xen/mce: Add mcelog support for Xen platformLiu, Jinsong
When MCA error occurs, it would be handled by Xen hypervisor first, and then the error information would be sent to initial domain for logging. This patch gets error information from Xen hypervisor and convert Xen format error into Linux format mcelog. This logic is basically self-contained, not touching other kernel components. By using tools like mcelog tool users could read specific error information, like what they did under native Linux.

2012-06-14xen: mark local pages as FOREIGN in the m2p_overrideStefano Stabellini
When the frontend and the backend reside on the same domain, even if we add pages to the m2p_override, these pages will never be returned by mfn_to_pfn because the check "get_phys_to_machine(pfn) != mfn" will always fail, so the pfn of the frontend will be returned instead (resulting in a deadlock because the frontend pages are already locked).

A simplified call graph looks like this: pygrub QEMU ----------------------------------------------- do_read_cache_page io_submit | | lock_page ext3_direct_IO | bio_add_page | lock_page Internally the xen-blkback uses m2p_add_override to swizzle (temporarily) a 'struct page' to have a different MFN (so that it can point to another guest). It also can easily find out whether another pfn corresponding to the mfn exists in the m2p, and can set the FOREIGN bit in the p2m, making sure that mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the backend. This allows the backend to perform direct_IO on these pages, but as a side effect prevents the frontend from using get_user_pages_fast on them while they are being shared with the backend.

2012-06-13perf/x86: Fix broken LBR fixup codeStephane Eranian
I noticed that the LBR fixups were not working anymore on programs where they used to. I tracked this down to a recent change to copy_from_user_nmi(): db0dc75d640 ("perf/x86: Check user address explicitly in copy_from_user_nmi()") This commit added a call to __range_not_ok() to the copy_from_user_nmi() routine. The problem is that the logic of the test must be reversed. __range_not_ok() returns 0 if the range is VALID. We want to return early from copy_from_user_nmi() if the range is NOT valid.

2012-06-08x86/uv: Fix UV2 BAU legacy modeCliff Wickman
The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2 broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the 'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode for selective broadcast. But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

2012-06-07x86, efi stub: Add .reloc section back into imageJordan Justen
Some UEFI firmware will not load a .efi with a .reloc section with a size of 0. Therefore, we create a .efi image with 4 main areas and 3 sections. 1. PE/COFF file header 2. .setup section (covers all setup code following the first sector) 3. .reloc section (contains 1 dummy reloc entry, created in build.c) 4. .text section (covers the remaining kernel image) To make room for the new .setup section data, the header bugger_off_msg had to be shortened.

2012-06-06perf/x86: Allow multiple stacksArun Sharma
Without this patch, applications with two different stack regions (eg: native stack vs JIT stack) get truncated callchains even when RBP chaining is present. GDB shows proper stack traces and the frame pointer chaining is intact. This patch disables the (fp < RSP) check, hoping that other checks in the code save the day for us. In our limited testing, this didn't seem to break anything. In the long term, we could potentially have userspace advise the kernel on the range of valid stack addresses, so we don't spend a lot of time unwinding from bogus addresses.

2012-06-06x86/ioapic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU hotplug after disabling irqsTomoki Sekiyama
In current Linux, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not cleared on offlined cpus while disabling devices' irqs. If the cpu that has the disabled irqs in vector_irq is hotplugged, __setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector and may crash. This bug can be reproduced as following; # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts # vector_irq@cpu7 uncleared # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash This patch fixes this bug by clearing vector_irq in __clear_irq_vector() even if the cpu is offlined.

Booting Node 2 Processor 32 APIC 0xc0 node_to_cpumask_map[2] NULL Pid: 0, comm: swapper/32 Tainted: G A 3.3.5-acd #21 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81048845>] debug_cpumask_set_cpu+0x155/0x160 [<ffffffff8105e28a>] ? add_timer_on+0xaa/0x120 [<ffffffff8150665f>] numa_add_cpu+0x1e/0x22 [<ffffffff815020bb>] identify_cpu+0x1df/0x1e4 [<ffffffff815020d6>] identify_econdary_cpu+0x16/0x1d [<ffffffff81504614>] smp_store_cpu_info+0x3c/0x3e [<ffffffff81505263>] smp_callin+0x139/0x1be [<ffffffff815052fb>] start_secondary+0x13/0xeb The reason is that the bit of node 2 was not set at numa_nodes_parsed. numa_nodes_parsed is set by only acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init / acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init. Thus even if hot-added memory which is same PXM as hot-added CPU is written in ACPI SRAT Table, if the hot-added CPU is not written in ACPI SRAT table, numa_nodes_parsed is not set. But according to ACPI Spec Rev 5.0, it says about ACPI SRAT table as follows: This optional table provides information that allows OSPM to associate processors and memory ranges, including ranges of memory provided by hot-added memory devices, with system localities / proximity domains and clock domains. It means that ACPI SRAT table only provides information for CPUs present at boot time and for memory including hot-added memory. So hot-added memory is written in ACPI SRAT table, but hot-added CPU is not written in it. Thus numa_nodes_parsed should be set by not only acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init / acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init but also acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init for the case. Additionally, if system has cpuless memory node, acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init / acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init cannot set numa_nodes_parseds since these functions cannot find cpu description for the node. In this case, numa_nodes_parsed needs to be set by acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init.

2012-06-06x86/decoder: Fix bsr/bsf/jmpe decoding with operand-size prefixMasami Hiramatsu
Fix the x86 instruction decoder to decode bsr/bsf/jmpe with operand-size prefix (66h). This fixes the test case failure reported by Linus, attached below. bsf/bsr/jmpe have a special encoding. Opcode map in Intel Software Developers Manual vol2 says they have TZCNT/LZCNT variants if it has F3h prefix. However, there is no information if it has other 66h or F2h prefixes. Current instruction decoder supposes that those are bad instructions, but it actually accepts at least operand-size prefixes. H. Peter Anvin further explains: " TZCNT/LZCNT are F3 + BSF/BSR exactly because the F2 and F3 prefixes have historically been no-ops with most instructions. This allows software to unconditionally use the prefixed versions and get TZCNT/LZCNT on the processors that have them if they don't care about the difference.

2012-06-01x86, x32, ptrace: Remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32H.J. Lu
When I added x32 ptrace to 3.4 kernel, I also include PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL support for x32 GDB For ARCH_GET_FS/GS, it takes a pointer to int64. But at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32. So I have to add x32 ptrace to glibc to handle it with a temporary int64 passed to kernel and copy it back to GDB as int32. Roland suggested that PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is obsolete and x32 GDB should use fs_base and gs_base fields of user_regs_struct instead. Accordingly, remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL completely from the x32 code to avoid possible memory overrun when pointer to int32 is passed to kernel.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal Pull third pile of signal handling patches from Al Viro: "This time it's mostly helpers and conversions to them; there's a lot of stuff remaining in the tree, but that'll either go in -rc2 (isolated bug fixes, ideally via arch maintainers' trees) or will sit there until the next cycle." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: x86: get rid of calling do_notify_resume() when returning to kernel mode blackfin: check __get_user() return value whack-a-mole with TIF_FREEZE FRV: Optimise the system call exit path in entry.S [ver #2] FRV: Shrink TIF_WORK_MASK [ver #2] FRV: Prevent syscall exit tracing and notify_resume at end of kernel exceptions new helper: signal_delivered() powerpc: get rid of restore_sigmask() most of set_current_blocked() callers want SIGKILL/SIGSTOP removed from set set_restore_sigmask() is never called without SIGPENDING (and never should be) TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK can be set only when TIF_SIGPENDING is set don't call try_to_freeze() from do_signal() pull clearing RESTORE_SIGMASK into block_sigmask() sh64: failure to build sigframe != signal without handler openrisc: tracehook_signal_handler() is supposed to be called on success new helper: sigmask_to_save() new helper: restore_saved_sigmask() new helpers: {clear,test,test_and_clear}_restore_sigmask() HAVE_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined on all architectures now

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull vfs changes from Al Viro. "A lot of misc stuff. The obvious groups: * Miklos' atomic_open series; kills the damn abuse of ->d_revalidate() by NFS, which was the major stumbling block for all work in that area. * ripping security_file_mmap() and dealing with deadlocks in the area; sanitizing the neighborhood of vm_mmap()/vm_munmap() in general. * ->encode_fh() switched to saner API; insane fake dentry in mm/cleancache.c gone. * assorted annotations in fs (endianness, __user) * parts of Artem's ->s_dirty work (jff2 and reiserfs parts) * ->update_time() work from Josef. * other bits and pieces all over the place. Normally it would've been in two or three pull requests, but signal.git stuff had eaten a lot of time during this cycle ;-/" Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (the 'truncate_range' inode method was removed by the VM changes, the VFS update adds an 'update_time()' method), and in fs/btrfs/ulist.[ch] (due to sparse fix added twice, with other changes nearby). * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (95 commits) nfs: don't open in ->d_revalidate vfs: retry last component if opening stale dentry vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): don't throw away file on error vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): inline __dentry_open() vfs: do_dentry_open(): don't put filp vfs: split __dentry_open() vfs: do_last() common post lookup vfs: do_last(): add audit_inode before open vfs: do_last(): only return EISDIR for O_CREAT vfs: do_last(): check LOOKUP_DIRECTORY vfs: do_last(): make ENOENT exit RCU safe vfs: make follow_link check RCU safe vfs: do_last(): use inode variable vfs: do_last(): inline walk_component() vfs: do_last(): make exit RCU safe vfs: split do_lookup() Btrfs: move over to use ->update_time fs: introduce inode operation ->update_time reiserfs: get rid of resierfs_sync_super reiserfs: mark the superblock as dirty a bit later ...
