This patch adds support for loading a kexec on panic (kdump) kernel usning
new system call.
It prepares ELF headers for memory areas to be dumped and for saved cpu
registers. Also prepares the memory map for second kernel and limits its
boot to reserved areas only.

This is loader specific code which can load bzImage and set it up for
64bit entry. This does not take care of 32bit entry or real mode entry.
32bit mode entry can be implemented if somebody needs it.

Load purgatory code in RAM and relocate it based on the location.
Relocation code has been inspired by module relocation code and purgatory
relocation code in kexec-tools.
Also compute the checksums of loaded kexec segments and store them in
purgatory.
Arch independent code provides this functionality so that arch dependent
bootloaders can make use of it.
Helper functions are provided to get/set symbol values in purgatory which
are used by bootloaders later to set things like stack and entry point of
second kernel etc.

Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two
kernels. This name, concept and some code has been taken from
kexec-tools. Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in
minimal environment. So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in
long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code.
This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various
segments which have been loaded into memory. So first we verify that the
kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make
progress only if checsums are verified.
This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

Next two patches provide code for purgatory. This is a code which does
not link against the kernel and runs stand alone. This code runs between
two kernels. One of the primary purpose of this code is to verify the
digest of newly loaded kernel and making sure it matches the digest
computed at kernel load time.
We use sha256 for calculating digest of kexec segmetns. Purgatory can't
use stanard crypto API as that API is not available in purgatory context.
Hence, I have copied code from crypto/sha256_generic.c and compiled it
with purgaotry code so that it could be used. I could not #include
sha256_generic.c file here as some of the function signature requiered
little tweaking. Original functions work with crypto API but these ones
don't
So instead of doing #include on sha256_generic.c I just copied relevant
portions of code into arch/x86/purgatory/sha256.c. Now we shouldn't have
to touch this code at all. Do let me know if there are better ways to
handle it.
This patch does not enable compiling of this code. That happens in next
patch. I wanted to highlight this change in a separate patch for easy
review.

Previous patch provided the interface definition and this patch prvides
implementation of new syscall.
Previously segment list was prepared in user space. Now user space just
passes kernel fd, initrd fd and command line and kernel will create a
segment list internally.
This patch contains generic part of the code. Actual segment preparation
and loading is done by arch and image specific loader. Which comes in
next patch.

This is the new syscall kexec_file_load() declaration/interface. I have
reserved the syscall number only for x86_64 so far. Other architectures
(including i386) can reserve syscall number when they enable the support

currently bin2c builds only if CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y. But bin2c will now be

memfd_create() is similar to mmap(MAP_ANON), but returns a file-descriptor
that you can pass to mmap(). It can support sealing and avoids any
connection to user-visible mount-points. Thus, it's not subject to quotas
on mounted file-systems, but can be used like malloc()'ed memory, but with
a file-descriptor to it.
memfd_create() returns the raw shmem file, so calls like ftruncate() can
be used to modify the underlying inode. Also calls like fstat() will
return proper information and mark the file as regular file. If you want
sealing, you can specify MFD_ALLOW_SEALING. Otherwise, sealing is not
supported (like on all other regular files).
Compared to O_TMPFILE, it does not require a tmpfs mount-point and is not
subject to a filesystem size limit. It is still properly accounted to
memcg limits, though, and to the same overcommit or no-overcommit
accounting as all user memory.

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).
This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.
This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Again, ACPICA leads the pack (47 commits), followed by cpufreq (18
commits) and system suspend/hibernation (9 commits).
From the new code perspective, the ACPICA update brings ACPI 5.1 to
the table, including a new device configuration object called _DSD
(Device Specific Data) that will hopefully help us to operate device
properties like Device Trees do (at least to some extent) and changes
related to supporting ACPI on ARM.
Apart from that we have hibernation changes making it use radix trees
to store memory bitmaps which should speed up some operations carried
out by it quite significantly. We also have some power management
changes related to suspend-to-idle (the "freeze" sleep state) support
and more preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM (outside of
ACPICA).
The rest is fixes and cleanups pretty much everywhere.
Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream version 20140724. That includes ACPI 5.1
material (support for the _CCA and _DSD predefined names, changes
related to the DMAR and PCCT tables and ARM support among other
things) and cleanups related to using ACPICA's header files. A
major part of it is related to acpidump and the core code used by
that utility. Changes from Bob Moore, David E Box, Lv Zheng,
Sascha Wildner, Tomasz Nowicki, Hanjun Guo.
- Radix trees for memory bitmaps used by the hibernation core from
Joerg Roedel.
- Support for waking up the system from suspend-to-idle (also known
as the "freeze" sleep state) using ACPI-based PCI wakeup signaling
(Rafael J Wysocki).
- Fixes for issues related to ACPI button events (Rafael J Wysocki).
- New device ID for an ACPI-enumerated device included into the
Wildcat Point PCH from Jie Yang.
- ACPI video updates related to backlight handling from Hans de Goede
and Linus Torvalds.
- Preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM from Hanjun Guo
and Graeme Gregory.
- ACPI PNP core cleanups from Arjun Sreedharan and Zhang Rui.
- Cleanups related to ACPI_COMPANION() and ACPI_HANDLE() macros
(Rafael J Wysocki).
- ACPI-based device hotplug cleanups from Wei Yongjun and Rafael J
Wysocki.
- Cleanups and improvements related to system suspend from Lan
Tianyu, Randy Dunlap and Rafael J Wysocki.
- ACPI battery cleanup from Wei Yongjun.
- cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar.
- Elimination of a deadband effect from the cpufreq ondemand governor
and intel_pstate driver cleanups from Stratos Karafotis.
- 350MHz CPU support for the powernow-k6 cpufreq driver from Mikulas
Patocka.
- Fix for the imx6 cpufreq driver from Anson Huang.
- cpuidle core and governor cleanups from Daniel Lezcano, Sandeep
Tripathy and Mohammad Merajul Islam Molla.

Commit ea431643d6c3 ("x86/mce: Fix CMCI preemption bugs") breaks RT by
the completely unrelated conversion of the cmci_discover_lock to a
regular (non raw) spinlock. This lock was annotated in commit
59d958d2c7de ("locking, x86: mce: Annotate cmci_discover_lock as raw")
with a proper explanation why.
The argument for converting the lock back to a regular spinlock was:
- it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.
Which is complete nonsense. The raw_spinlock is disabling preemption in
the same way as a regular spinlock. In mainline spinlock maps to
raw_spinlock, in RT spinlock becomes a "sleeping" lock.
raw_spinlock has on RT exactly the same semantics as in mainline. And
because this lock is taken in non preemptible context it must be raw on
RT.
Undo the locking brainfart.

The getrandom(2) system call was requested by the LibreSSL Portable
developers. It is analoguous to the getentropy(2) system call in
OpenBSD.
The rationale of this system call is to provide resiliance against
file descriptor exhaustion attacks, where the attacker consumes all
available file descriptors, forcing the use of the fallback code where
/dev/[u]random is not available. Since the fallback code is often not
well-tested, it is better to eliminate this potential failure mode
entirely.
The other feature provided by this new system call is the ability to
request randomness from the /dev/urandom entropy pool, but to block
until at least 128 bits of entropy has been accumulated in the
/dev/urandom entropy pool. Historically, the emphasis in the
/dev/urandom development has been to ensure that urandom pool is
initialized as quickly as possible after system boot, and preferably
before the init scripts start execution.
This is because changing /dev/urandom reads to block represents an
interface change that could potentially break userspace which is not
acceptable. In practice, on most x86 desktop and server systems, in
general the entropy pool can be initialized before it is needed (and
in modern kernels, we will printk a warning message if not). However,
on an embedded system, this may not be the case. And so with this new
interface, we can provide the functionality of blocking until the
urandom pool has been initialized. Any userspace program which uses
this new functionality must take care to assure that if it is used
during the boot process, that it will not cause the init scripts or
other portions of the system startup to hang indefinitely.
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/random.h>
int getrandom(void *buf, size_t buflen, unsigned int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The system call getrandom() fills the buffer pointed to by buf
with up to buflen random bytes which can be used to seed user
space random number generators (i.e., DRBG's) or for other
cryptographic uses. It should not be used for Monte Carlo
simulations or other programs/algorithms which are doing
probabilistic sampling.
If the GRND_RANDOM flags bit is set, then draw from the
/dev/random pool instead of the /dev/urandom pool. The
/dev/random pool is limited based on the entropy that can be
obtained from environmental noise, so if there is insufficient
entropy, the requested number of bytes may not be returned.
If there is no entropy available at all, getrandom(2) will
either block, or return an error with errno set to EAGAIN if
the GRND_NONBLOCK bit is set in flags.
If the GRND_RANDOM bit is not set, then the /dev/urandom pool
will be used. Unlike using read(2) to fetch data from
/dev/urandom, if the urandom pool has not been sufficiently
initialized, getrandom(2) will block (or return -1 with the
errno set to EAGAIN if the GRND_NONBLOCK bit is set in flags).
The getentropy(2) system call in OpenBSD can be emulated using
the following function:
int getentropy(void *buf, size_t buflen)
{
int ret;
if (buflen > 256)
goto failure;
ret = getrandom(buf, buflen, 0);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
if (ret == buflen)
return 0;
failure:
errno = EIO;
return -1;
}
RETURN VALUE
On success, the number of bytes that was filled in the buf is
returned. This may not be all the bytes requested by the
caller via buflen if insufficient entropy was present in the
/dev/random pool, or if the system call was interrupted by a
signal.
On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EINVAL An invalid flag was passed to getrandom(2)
EFAULT buf is outside the accessible address space.
EAGAIN The requested entropy was not available, and
getentropy(2) would have blocked if the
GRND_NONBLOCK flag was not set.
EINTR While blocked waiting for entropy, the call was
interrupted by a signal handler; see the description
of how interrupted read(2) calls on "slow" devices
are handled with and without the SA_RESTART flag
in the signal(7) man page.
NOTES
For small requests (buflen <= 256) getrandom(2) will not
return EINTR when reading from the urandom pool once the
entropy pool has been initialized, and it will return all of
the bytes that have been requested. This is the recommended
way to use getrandom(2), and is designed for compatibility
with OpenBSD's getentropy() system call.
However, if you are using GRND_RANDOM, then getrandom(2) may
block until the entropy accounting determines that sufficient
environmental noise has been gathered such that getrandom(2)
will be operating as a NRBG instead of a DRBG for those people
who are working in the NIST SP 800-90 regime. Since it may
block for a long time, these guarantees do *not* apply. The
user may want to interrupt a hanging process using a signal,
so blocking until all of the requested bytes are returned
would be unfriendly.
For this reason, the user of getrandom(2) MUST always check
the return value, in case it returns some error, or if fewer
bytes than requested was returned. In the case of
!GRND_RANDOM and small request, the latter should never
happen, but the careful userspace code (and all crypto code
should be careful) should check for this anyway!
Finally, unless you are doing long-term key generation (and
perhaps not even then), you probably shouldn't be using
GRND_RANDOM. The cryptographic algorithms used for
/dev/urandom are quite conservative, and so should be
sufficient for all purposes. The disadvantage of GRND_RANDOM
is that it can block, and the increased complexity required to
deal with partially fulfilled getrandom(2) requests.

The highlights for x86 are nested VMX improvements (Jan Kiszka),
optimizations for old processor (up to Nehalem, by me and Bandan Das),
and a lot of x86 emulator bugfixes (Nadav Amit).

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This pull request has a lot of work done. The main thing is the
changes to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's
introducing a way to allow different functions to call directly
different trampolines instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which
always had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline
was called and did basically nothing, and then the function graph
tracer trampoline was called. The difference now, is that the
function graph tracer trampoline can be called directly if a function
is only being traced by the function graph trampoline. If function
tracing is also happening on the same function, the old way is still
done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph
tracing is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it
uses. I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not
ready yet for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next
one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls
that were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function
tracing when entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of
ftrace was done because there was some function that would crash the
system if one called smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big
hammer to solve the issue at the time, which was when ftrace was first
introduced into Linux. Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug
such issues, and I found the problem function and labeled it with
"notrace" and function tracing can now safely be activated all the way
down into the guts of suspend and resume
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code, clean up of the
trace_seq() code, and other various small fixes and clean ups to
ftrace and tracing"

clean up names related to socket filtering and bpf in the following way:
- everything that deals with sockets keeps 'sk_*' prefix
- everything that is pure BPF is changed to 'bpf_*' prefix
split 'struct sk_filter' into
struct sk_filter {
atomic_t refcnt;
struct rcu_head rcu;
struct bpf_prog *prog;
};
and
struct bpf_prog {
u32 jited:1,
len:31;
struct sock_fprog_kern *orig_prog;
unsigned int (*bpf_func)(const struct sk_buff *skb,
const struct bpf_insn *filter);
union {
struct sock_filter insns[0];
struct bpf_insn insnsi[0];
struct work_struct work;
};
};
so that 'struct bpf_prog' can be used independent of sockets and cleans up
'unattached' bpf use cases
split SK_RUN_FILTER macro into:
SK_RUN_FILTER to be used with 'struct sk_filter *' and
BPF_PROG_RUN to be used with 'struct bpf_prog *'
__sk_filter_release(struct sk_filter *) gains
__bpf_prog_release(struct bpf_prog *) helper function
also perform related renames for the functions that work
with 'struct bpf_prog *', since they're on the same lines:
sk_filter_size -> bpf_prog_size
sk_filter_select_runtime -> bpf_prog_select_runtime
sk_filter_free -> bpf_prog_free
sk_unattached_filter_create -> bpf_prog_create
sk_unattached_filter_destroy -> bpf_prog_destroy
sk_store_orig_filter -> bpf_prog_store_orig_filter
sk_release_orig_filter -> bpf_release_orig_filter
__sk_migrate_filter -> bpf_migrate_filter
__sk_prepare_filter -> bpf_prepare_filter
API for attaching classic BPF to a socket stays the same:
sk_attach_filter(prog, struct sock *)/sk_detach_filter(struct sock *)
and SK_RUN_FILTER(struct sk_filter *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by sockets, tun, af_packet
API for 'unattached' BPF programs becomes:
bpf_prog_create(struct bpf_prog **)/bpf_prog_destroy(struct bpf_prog *)
and BPF_PROG_RUN(struct bpf_prog *, ctx) to execute a program
which is used by isdn, ppp, team, seccomp, ptp, xt_bpf, cls_bpf, test_bpf

This has been run through Intel's LKP tests across a wide range
of modern sytems and workloads and it wasn't shown to make a
measurable performance difference positive or negative.
Now that we have some shiny new tracepoints, we can actually
figure out what the heck is going on.

are for a single page. It breaks down like this:

We get in to dimishing returns pretty quickly. On pre-IvyBridge
CPUs, we used to set the limit at 8 pages, and it was set at 128
on IvyBrige. That 128 number looks pretty silly considering that
less than 0.5% of the flushes are that large.
The previous code tried to size this number based on the size of
the TLB. Good idea, but it's error-prone, needs maintenance
(which it didn't get up to now), and probably would not matter in
practice much.
Settting it to 33 means that we cover the mallopt
M_TRIM_THRESHOLD, which is the most universally common size to do
flushes.
That's the short version. Here's the long one for why I chose 33:
1. These numbers have a constant bias in the timestamps from the
tracing. Probably counts for a couple hundred cycles in each of
these tests, but it should be fairly _even_ across all of them.
The smallest delta between the tracepoints I have ever seen is
335 cycles. This is one reason the cycles/page cost goes down in
general as the flushes get larger. The true cost is nearer to
100 cycles.
2. A full flush is more expensive than a single invlpg, but not
by much (single percentages).
3. A dtlb miss is 17.1ns (~45 cycles) and a itlb miss is 13.0ns
(~34 cycles). At those rates, refilling the 512-entry dTLB takes
22,000 cycles.
4. 22,000 cycles is approximately the equivalent of doing 85
invlpg operations. But, the odds are that the TLB can
actually be filled up faster than that because TLB misses that
are close in time also tend to leverage the same caches.
6. ~98% of flushes are <=33 pages. There are a lot of flushes of
33 pages, probably because libc's M_TRIM_THRESHOLD is set to
128k (32 pages)
7. I've found no consistent data to support changing the IvyBridge
vs. SandyBridge tunable by a factor of 16
I used the performance counters on this hardware (IvyBridge i5-3320M)
to figure out the tlb miss costs:
ocperf.py stat -e dtlb_load_misses.walk_duration,dtlb_load_misses.walk_completed,dtlb_store_misses.walk_duration,dtlb_store_misses.walk_completed,itlb_misses.walk_duration,itlb_misses.walk_completed,itlb.itlb_flush
7,720,030,970 dtlb_load_misses_walk_duration [57.13%]
169,856,353 dtlb_load_misses_walk_completed [57.15%]
708,832,859 dtlb_store_misses_walk_duration [57.17%]
19,346,823 dtlb_store_misses_walk_completed [57.17%]
2,779,687,402 itlb_misses_walk_duration [57.15%]
82,241,148 itlb_misses_walk_completed [57.13%]
770,717 itlb_itlb_flush [57.11%]
Show that a dtlb miss is 17.1ns (~45 cycles) and a itlb miss is 13.0ns
(~34 cycles). At those rates, refilling the 512-entry dTLB takes
22,000 cycles. On a SandyBridge system with more cores and larger
caches, those are dtlb=13.4ns and itlb=9.5ns.
cat perf.stat.txt | perl -pe 's/,//g'
| awk '/itlb_misses_walk_duration/ { icyc+=$1 }
/itlb_misses_walk_completed/ { imiss+=$1 }
/dtlb_.*_walk_duration/ { dcyc+=$1 }
/dtlb_.*.*completed/ { dmiss+=$1 }
END {print "itlb cyc/miss: ", icyc/imiss, " dtlb cyc/miss: ", dcyc/dmiss, " ----- ", icyc,imiss, dcyc,dmiss }
On Westmere CPUs, the counters to use are: itlb_flush,itlb_misses.walk_cycles,itlb_misses.any,dtlb_misses.walk_cycles,dtlb_misses.any
The assumptions that this code went in under:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/12/119 say that a flush and a refill are
about 100ns. Being generous, that is over by a factor of 6 on the
refill side, although it is fairly close on the cost of an invlpg.
An increase of a single invlpg operation seems to lengthen the flush
range operation by about 200 cycles. Here is one example of the data
collected for flushing 10 and 11 pages (full data are below):
10: 0.43% 93.90% avg cycles: 3570 cycles/page: 357 samples: 4714
11: 0.20% 94.10% avg cycles: 3767 cycles/page: 342 samples: 2145
How to generate this table:
echo 10000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
echo x86-tsc > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock
echo 'reason != 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/filter
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/enable
Pipe the trace output in to this script:
http://sr71.net/~dave/intel/201402-tlb/trace-time-diff-process.pl.txt
Note that these data were gathered with the invlpg threshold set to
150 pages. Only data points with >=50 of samples were printed:

Here are the tlb counters during a 10-second slice of a kernel compile
for a SandyBridge system. It's better than IvyBridge, but probably
due to the larger caches since this was one of the 'X' extreme parts.

Most of the logic here is in the documentation file. Please take
a look at it.
I know we've come full-circle here back to a tunable, but this
new one is *WAY* simpler. I challenge anyone to describe in one
sentence how the old one worked. Here's the way the new one
works:
If we are flushing more pages than the ceiling, we use
the full flush, otherwise we use per-page flushes.

We don't have any good way to figure out what kinds of flushes
are being attempted. Right now, we can try to use the vm
counters, but those only tell us what we actually did with the
hardware (one-by-one vs full) and don't tell us what was actually
_requested_.
This allows us to select out "interesting" TLB flushes that we
might want to optimize (like the ranged ones) and ignore the ones
that we have very little control over (the ones at context
switch).

There are currently three paths through the remote flush code:
1. full invalidation
2. single page invalidation using invlpg
3. ranged invalidation using invlpg
This takes 2 and 3 and combines them in to a single path by
making the single-page one just be the start and end be start
plus a single page. This makes placement of our tracepoint easier.

If we take the
if (end == TLB_FLUSH_ALL || vmflag & VM_HUGETLB) {
local_flush_tlb();
goto out;
}
path out of flush_tlb_mm_range(), we will have flushed the tlb,
but not incremented NR_TLB_LOCAL_FLUSH_ALL. This unifies the
way out of the function so that we always take a single path when
doing a full tlb flush.

I think the flush_tlb_mm_range() code that tries to tune the
flush sizes based on the CPU needs to get ripped out for
several reasons:
1. It is obviously buggy. It uses mm->total_vm to judge the
task's footprint in the TLB. It should certainly be using
some measure of RSS, *NOT* ->total_vm since only resident
memory can populate the TLB.
2. Haswell, and several other CPUs are missing from the
intel_tlb_flushall_shift_set() function. Thus, it has been
demonstrated to bitrot quickly in practice.
3. It is plain wrong in my vm:
[ 0.037444] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.037444] Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.037444] tlb_flushall_shift: 6
Which leads to it to never use invlpg.
4. The assumptions about TLB refill costs are wrong:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337782555-8088-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.com
(more on this in later patches)
5. I can not reproduce the original data: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59
I believe the sample times were too short. Running the
benchmark in a loop yields times that vary quite a bit.
Note that this leaves us with a static ceiling of 1 page. This
is a conservative, dumb setting, and will be revised in a later
patch.
This also removes the code which attempts to predict whether we
are flushing data or instructions. We expect instruction flushes
to be relatively rare and not worth tuning for explicitly.
