2011-10-18x86, perf, kprobes: Make kprobes's twobyte_is_boostable volatileJosh Stone1-1/+3
When compiling an i386_defconfig kernel with gcc-4.6.1-9.fc15.i686, I noticed a warning about the asm operand for test_bit in kprobes' can_boost. I discovered that this caused only the first long of twobyte_is_boostable[] to be output. Jakub filed and fixed gcc PR50571 to correct the warning and this output issue. But to solve it for less current gcc, we can make kprobes' twobyte_is_boostable[] volatile, and it won't be optimized out.

2011-10-10x86, nmi: Add in logic to handle multiple events and unknown NMIsDon Zickus4-9/+93
Previous patches allow the NMI subsystem to process multipe NMI events in one NMI. As previously discussed this can cause issues when an event triggered another NMI but is processed in the current NMI. This causes the next NMI to go unprocessed and become an 'unknown' NMI. To handle this, we first have to flag whether or not the NMI handler handled more than one event or not. If it did, then there exists a chance that the next NMI might be already processed. Once the NMI is flagged as a candidate to be swallowed, we next look for a back-to-back NMI condition. This is determined by looking at the %rip from pt_regs. If it is the same as the previous NMI, it is assumed the cpu did not have a chance to jump back into a non-NMI context and execute code and instead handled another NMI. If both of those conditions are true then we will swallow any unknown NMI. There still exists a chance that we accidentally swallow a real unknown NMI, but for now things seem better. An optimization has also been added to the nmi notifier rountine. Because x86 can latch up to one NMI while currently processing an NMI, we don't have to worry about executing _all_ the handlers in a standalone NMI. The idea is if multiple NMIs come in, the second NMI will represent them. For those back-to-back NMI cases, we have the potentail to drop NMIs. Therefore only execute all the handlers in the second half of a detected back-to-back NMI.

2011-10-10x86, nmi: Wire up NMI handlers to new routinesDon Zickus13-227/+99
Just convert all the files that have an nmi handler to the new routines. Most of it is straight forward conversion. A couple of places needed some tweaking like kgdb which separates the debug notifier from the nmi handler and mce removes a call to notify_die. [Thanks to Ying for finding out the history behind that mce call https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/27/114 And Boris responding that he would like to remove that call because of it https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/163] The things that get converted are the registeration/unregistration routines and the nmi handler itself has its args changed along with code removal to check which list it is on (most are on one NMI list except for kgdb which has both an NMI routine and an NMI Unknown routine).

2011-10-10x86, nmi: Create new NMI handler routinesDon Zickus2-0/+171
The NMI handlers used to rely on the notifier infrastructure. This worked great until we wanted to support handling multiple events better. One of the key ideas to the nmi handling is to process _all_ the handlers for each NMI. The reason behind this switch is because NMIs are edge triggered. If enough NMIs are triggered, then they could be lost because the cpu can only latch at most one NMI (besides the one currently being processed). In order to deal with this we have decided to process all the NMI handlers for each NMI. This allows the handlers to determine if they recieved an event or not (the ones that can not determine this will be left to fend for themselves on the unknown NMI list). As a result of this change it is now possible to have an extra NMI that was destined to be received for an already processed event. Because the event was processed in the previous NMI, this NMI gets dropped and becomes an 'unknown' NMI. This of course will cause printks that scare people. However, we prefer to have extra NMIs as opposed to losing NMIs and as such are have developed a basic mechanism to catch most of them. That will be a later patch. To accomplish this idea, I unhooked the nmi handlers from the notifier routines and created a new mechanism loosely based on doIRQ. The reason for this is the notifier routines have a couple of shortcomings. One we could't guarantee all future NMI handlers used NOTIFY_OK instead of NOTIFY_STOP. Second, we couldn't keep track of the number of events being handled in each routine (most only handle one, perf can handle more than one). Third, I wanted to eventually display which nmi handlers are registered in the system in /proc/interrupts to help see who is generating NMIs. The patch below just implements the new infrastructure but doesn't wire it up yet (that is the next patch). Its design is based on doIRQ structs and the atomic notifier routines. So the rcu stuff in the patch isn't entirely untested (as the notifier routines have soaked it) but it should be double checked in case I copied the code wrong.

2011-10-10perf, intel: Use GO/HO bits in perf-ctrGleb Natapov3-3/+112
Intel does not have guest/host-only bit in perf counters like AMD does. To support GO/HO bits KVM needs to switch EVENTSELn values (or PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL if available) at a guest entry. If a counter is configured to count only in a guest mode it stays disabled in a host, but VMX is configured to switch it to enabled value during guest entry. This patch adds GO/HO tracking to Intel perf code and provides interface for KVM to get a list of MSRs that need to be switched on a guest entry. Only cpus with architectural PMU (v1 or later) are supported with this patch. To my knowledge there is not p6 models with VMX but without architectural PMU and p4 with VMX are rare and the interface is general enough to support them if need arise.

2011-09-21x86/rtc: Don't recursively acquire rtc_lockMatt Fleming2-11/+21
A deadlock was introduced on x86 in commit ef68c8f87ed1 ("x86: Serialize EFI time accesses on rtc_lock") because efi_get_time() and friends can be called with rtc_lock already held by read_persistent_time(), e.g.: timekeeping_init() read_persistent_clock() <-- acquire rtc_lock efi_get_time() phys_efi_get_time() <-- acquire rtc_lock <DEADLOCK> To fix this let's push the locking down into the get_wallclock() and set_wallclock() implementations. Only the clock implementations that access the x86 RTC directly need to acquire rtc_lock, so it makes sense to push the locking down into the rtc, vrtc and efi code. The virtualization implementations don't require rtc_lock to be held because they provide their own serialization.

2011-09-15asm alternatives: remove incorrect alignment notesLinus Torvalds3-7/+0
On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16 bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much. However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit 59e97e4d6fbc ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative"). So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good idea. On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>. That header file had used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and rwsem). That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section, causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction replacement. So just remove all the alignment noise entirely. It's wrong, and it's unnecessary. The section itself is already properly aligned by the linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned. So if the align directive were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious bug to begin with.

del_timer_sync() can cause a deadlock when called in interrupt context. It is used with on_each_cpu() in some parts for sysfs files like bank*, check_interval, cmci_disabled and ignore_ce. However, use of on_each_cpu() results in calling the function passed as the argument in interrupt context. This causes a flood of nested warnings from del_timer_sync() (it runs on each CPU) caused even by a simple file access like: $ echo 300 > /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck0/check_interval Fortunately, these MCE-specific files are rarely used and AFAIK only few MCE geeks experience this warning.

The patch "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM" (d312ae878b6aed3912e1acaaf5d0b2a9d08a4f11) breaks machines that do not use 'dom0_mem=' argument with: reserve RAM buffer: 000000133f2e2000 - 000000133fffffff (XEN) mm.c:4976:d0 Global bit is set to kernel page fffff8117e (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0: ... The reason being that the last E820 entry is created using the 'extra_pages' (which is based on how many pages have been freed). The mentioned git commit sets the initial value of 'extra_pages' using a hypercall which returns the number of pages (if dom0_mem has been used) or -1 otherwise. If the later we return with MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES as basis for calculation: return min(max_pages, MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES); and use it: extra_limit = xen_get_max_pages(); if (extra_limit >= max_pfn) extra_pages = extra_limit - max_pfn; else extra_pages = 0; which means we end up with extra_pages = 128GB in PFNs (33554432) - 8GB in PFNs (2097152, on this specific box, can be larger or smaller), and then we add that value to the E820 making it: Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000133f2e2000 (usable) which is clearly wrong.

2011-09-01xen/smp: Warn user why they keel over - nosmp or noapic and what to use instead.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-0/+10
We have hit a couple of customer bugs where they would like to use those parameters to run an UP kernel - but both of those options turn of important sources of interrupt information so we end up not being able to boot. The correct way is to pass in 'dom0_max_vcpus=1' on the Xen hypervisor line and the kernel will patch itself to be a UP kernel.

interrupt context If vmalloc page_fault happens inside of interrupt handler with interrupts disabled then on exit path from exception handler when there is no pending interrupts, the following code (arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S:112): cmpw $0x0001, XEN_vcpu_info_pending(%eax) sete XEN_vcpu_info_mask(%eax) will enable interrupts even if they has been previously disabled according to eflags from the bounce frame (arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S:99) testb $X86_EFLAGS_IF>>8, 8+1+ESP_OFFSET(%esp) setz XEN_vcpu_info_mask(%eax) Solution is in setting XEN_vcpu_info_mask only when it should be set according to cmpw $0x0001, XEN_vcpu_info_pending(%eax) but not clearing it if there isn't any pending events.

2011-09-01xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAMDavid Vrabel1-0/+19
Use the domain's maximum reservation to limit the amount of extra RAM for the memory balloon. This reduces the size of the pages tables and the amount of reserved low memory (which defaults to about 1/32 of the total RAM). On a system with 8 GiB of RAM with the domain limited to 1 GiB the kernel reports: Before: Memory: 627792k/4472000k available After: Memory: 549740k/11132224k available A increase of about 76 MiB (~1.5% of the unused 7 GiB). The reserved low memory is also reduced from 253 MiB to 32 MiB. The total additional usable RAM is 329 MiB. For dom0, this requires at patch to Xen ('x86: use 'dom0_mem' to limit the number of pages for dom0') (c/s 23790) CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

2011-08-26sfi: table irq 0xFF means 'no interrupt'Kirill A. Shutemov1-1/+3
According to the SFI specification irq number 0xFF means device has no interrupt or interrupt attached via GPIO. Currently, we don't handle this special case and set irq field in *_board_info structs to 255. It leads to confusion in some drivers. Accelerometer driver tries to register interrupt 255, fails and prints "Cannot get IRQ" to dmesg. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2011-08-24xen: use non-tracing preempt in xen_clocksource_read()Jeremy Fitzhardinge1-2/+3
The tracing code used sched_clock() to get tracing timestamps, which ends up calling xen_clocksource_read(). xen_clocksource_read() must disable preemption, but if preemption tracing is enabled, this results in infinite recursion. I've only noticed this when boot-time tracing tests are enabled, but it seems like a generic bug. It looks like it would also affect kvm_clocksource_read().

2011-08-23x86-32, vdso: On system call restart after SYSENTER, use int $0x80H. Peter Anvin1-1/+1
When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes errors if the system call as to be restarted. For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower entry point for a post-restart.
