2005-09-10[PATCH] i386 / uml: add dwarf sections to static link scriptPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Inside the linker script, insert the code for DWARF debug info sections. This may help GDB'ing a Uml binary. Actually, it seems that ld is able to guess what I added correctly, but normal linker scripts include this section so it should be correct anyway adding it. On request by Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>, I've added it to asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.s. I've also moved there the stabs debug section, used the new macro in i386 linker script and added DWARF debug section to that. In the truth, I've not been able to verify the difference in GDB behaviour after this change (I've seen large improvements with another patch). This may depend on my binutils version, older one may have worse defaults. However, this section is present in normal linker script, so add it at least for the sake of cleanness.

2005-09-09[PATCH] Update PCI IOMEM allocation startDaniel Ritz
This fixes the problem with "Averatec 6240 pcmcia_socket0: unable to apply power", which was due to the CardBus IOMEM register region being allocated at an address that was actually inside the RAM window that had been reserved for video frame-buffers in an UMA setup. The BIOS _should_ have marked that region reserved in the e820 memory descriptor tables, but did not. It is fixed by rounding up the default starting address of PCI memory allocations, so that we leave a bigger gap after the final known memory location. The amount of rounding depends on how big the unused memory gap is that we can allocate IOMEM from. Based on example code by Linus.

2005-09-09[PATCH] i386: seccomp fix for auditing/ptraceAndrea Arcangeli
This is the same issue as ppc64 before, when returning to userland we shouldn't re-compute the seccomp check or the task could be killed during sigreturn when orig_eax is overwritten by the sigreturn syscall. This was found by Roland. This was harmless from a security standpoint, but some i686 users reported failures with auditing enabled system wide (some distro surprisingly makes it the default) and I reproduced it too by keeping the whole workload under strace -f. Patch is tested and works for me under strace -f. nobody@athlon:~/cpushare> strace -o /tmp/o -f python seccomp_test.py make: Nothing to be done for `seccomp_test'.

2005-09-07[PATCH] kprobes: fix handling of simultaneous probe hit/unregisterJim Keniston
This patch fixes a bug in kprobes's handling of a corner case on i386 and x86_64. On an SMP system, if one CPU unregisters a kprobe just after another CPU hits that probepoint, kprobe_handler() on the latter CPU sees that the kprobe has been unregistered, and attempts to let the CPU continue as if the probepoint hadn't been hit. The bug is that on i386 and x86_64, we were neglecting to set the IP back to the beginning of the probed instruction. This could cause an oops or crash. This bug doesn't exist on ppc64 and ia64, where a breakpoint instruction leaves the IP pointing to the beginning of the instruction. I don't know about sparc64. (Dave, could you please advise?) This fix has been tested on i386 and x86_64 SMP systems. To reproduce the problem, set one CPU to work registering and unregistering a kprobe repeatedly, and another CPU pounding the probepoint in a tight loop.

2005-09-07[PATCH] fix: dmi_check_systemRobert Love
Background: 1) dmi_check_system() returns the count of the number of matches. Zero thus means no matches. 2) A match callback can return nonzero to stop the match checking. Bug: The count is incremented after we check for the nonzero return value, so it does not reflect the actual count. We could say this is intended, for some dumb reason, except that it means that a match on the first check returns zero--no matches--if the callback returns nonzero. Attached patch implements the count before calling the callback and thus before potentially short-circuiting.

2005-09-07[PATCH] detect soft lockupsIngo Molnar
This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP. When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run once per second. If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident). The feature is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by the lockup.

2005-09-07[PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinityAshok Raj
When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts. CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well. Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing. - Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for lack of a generic name. - added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64 - Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq handling time. - Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set. - Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating when using generic irq framework. Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off. Tested UP builds as well. MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I did test an earlier version of this patch. Will test in a couple days.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> This is simply an adjustment for "Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction with singlestep" to work on top of SYSEMU patches, too. On this patch, I have some doubts: I wonder why we need to alter that way ptrace_disable(). I left the patch this way because it has been extensively tested, but I don't understand the reason. The current PTRACE_DETACH handling simply clears child->ptrace; actually this is not enough because entry.S just looks at the thread_flags; actually, do_syscall_trace checks current->ptrace but I don't think depending on that is good, at least for performance, so I think the clearing is done elsewhere. For instance, on PTRACE_CONT it's done, but doing PTRACE_DETACH without PTRACE_CONT is possible (and happens when gdb crashes and one kills it manually).

2005-09-05[PATCH] UML Support - Ptrace: adds the host SYSEMU support, for UML and ↵Laurent Vivier
general usage Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>, Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade_spam@yahoo.it>, Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@fujitsu-siemens.com> Adds a new ptrace(2) mode, called PTRACE_SYSEMU, resembling PTRACE_SYSCALL except that the kernel does not execute the requested syscall; this is useful to improve performance for virtual environments, like UML, which want to run the syscall on their own. In fact, using PTRACE_SYSCALL means stopping child execution twice, on entry and on exit, and each time you also have two context switches; with SYSEMU you avoid the 2nd stop and so save two context switches per syscall. Also, some architectures don't have support in the host for changing the syscall number via ptrace(), which is currently needed to skip syscall execution (UML turns any syscall into getpid() to avoid it being executed on the host). Fixing that is hard, while SYSEMU is easier to implement. * This version of the patch includes some suggestions of Jeff Dike to avoid adding any instructions to the syscall fast path, plus some other little changes, by myself, to make it work even when the syscall is executed with SYSENTER (but I'm unsure about them). It has been widely tested for quite a lot of time. * Various fixed were included to handle the various switches between various states, i.e. when for instance a syscall entry is traced with one of PT_SYSCALL / _SYSEMU / _SINGLESTEP and another one is used on exit. Basically, this is done by remembering which one of them was used even after the call to ptrace_notify(). * We're combining TIF_SYSCALL_EMU with TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SINGLESTEP to make do_syscall_trace() notice that the current syscall was started with SYSEMU on entry, so that no notification ought to be done in the exit path; this is a bit of a hack, so this problem is solved in another way in next patches. * Also, the effects of the patch: "Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction with singlestep" are cancelled; they are restored back in the last patch of this series. Detailed descriptions of the patches doing this kind of processing follow (but I've already summed everything up). * Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #1. In do_syscall_trace(), we check the status of the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag only after doing the debugger notification; but the debugger might have changed the status of this flag because he continued execution with PTRACE_SYSCALL, so this is wrong. This patch fixes it by saving the flag status before calling ptrace_notify(). * Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #2: avoid intercepting syscall on return when using SYSCALL again. A guest process switching from using PTRACE_SYSEMU to PTRACE_SYSCALL crashes. The problem is in arch/i386/kernel/entry.S. The current SYSEMU patch inhibits the syscall-handler to be called, but does not prevent do_syscall_trace() to be called after this for syscall completion interception. The appended patch fixes this. It reuses the flag TIF_SYSCALL_EMU to remember "we come from PTRACE_SYSEMU and now are in PTRACE_SYSCALL", since the flag is unused in the depicted situation. * Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #3: avoid intercepting syscall on return when using SINGLESTEP. When testing 2.6.9 and the skas3.v6 patch, with my latest patch and had problems with singlestepping on UML in SKAS with SYSEMU. It looped receiving SIGTRAPs without moving forward. EIP of the traced process was the same for all SIGTRAPs. What's missing is to handle switching from PTRACE_SYSCALL_EMU to PTRACE_SINGLESTEP in a way very similar to what is done for the change from PTRACE_SYSCALL_EMU to PTRACE_SYSCALL_TRACE. I.e., after calling ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU), on the return path, the debugger is notified and then wake ups the process; the syscall is executed (or skipped, when do_syscall_trace() returns 0, i.e. when using PTRACE_SYSEMU), and do_syscall_trace() is called again. Since we are on the return path of a SYSEMU'd syscall, if the wake up is performed through ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL), we must still avoid notifying the parent of the syscall exit. Now, this behaviour is extended even to resuming with PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.

In fact no singlestep trap is sent on syscall entry, only on syscall exit, as can be seen in entry.S: # Note that in this mask _TIF_SINGLESTEP is not tested !!! <<<<<<<<<<<<<< testb $(_TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE|_TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT|_TIF_SECCOMP),TI_flags(%ebp) jnz syscall_trace_entry ... syscall_trace_entry: ... call do_syscall_trace But auditing a SINGLESTEP'ed process causes do_syscall_trace to be called, so the tracer will get one more trap on the syscall entry path, which it shouldn't.

2005-09-05[PATCH] add suspend/resume for timerShaohua Li
The timers lack .suspend/.resume methods. Because of this, jiffies got a big compensation after a S3 resume. And then softlockup watchdog reports an oops. This occured with HPET enabled, but it's also possible for other timers.

Reset the ISA DMA controller into a known state after a suspend. Primary concern was reenabling the cascading DMA channel (4). Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman <drzeus@drzeus.cx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-05[PATCH] unify x86/x86-64 semaphore codeBenjamin LaHaise
This patch moves the common code in x86 and x86-64's semaphore.c into a single file in lib/semaphore-sleepers.c. The arch specific asm stubs are left in the arch tree (in semaphore.c for i386 and in the asm for x86-64). There should be no changes in code/functionality with this patch.

2005-09-05[PATCH] i386 boottime for_each_cpu brokenZwane Mwaikambo
for_each_cpu walks through all processors in cpu_possible_map, which is defined as cpu_callout_map on i386 and isn't initialised until all processors have been booted. This breaks things which do for_each_cpu iterations early during boot. So, define cpu_possible_map as a bitmap with NR_CPUS bits populated. This was triggered by a patch i'm working on which does alloc_percpu before bringing up secondary processors. From: Alexander Nyberg <alexn@telia.com> i386-boottime-for_each_cpu-broken.patch i386-boottime-for_each_cpu-broken-fix.patch The SMP version of __alloc_percpu checks the cpu_possible_map before allocating memory for a certain cpu. With the above patches the BSP cpuid is never set in cpu_possible_map which breaks CONFIG_SMP on uniprocessor machines (as soon as someone tries to dereference something allocated via __alloc_percpu, which in fact is never allocated since the cpu is not set in cpu_possible_map).

2005-09-05[PATCH] i386: encapsulate copying of pgd entriesZachary Amsden
Add a clone operation for pgd updates. This helps complete the encapsulation of updates to page tables (or pages about to become page tables) into accessor functions rather than using memcpy() to duplicate them. This is both generally good for consistency and also necessary for running in a hypervisor which requires explicit updates to page table entries. The new function is: clone_pgd_range(pgd_t *dst, pgd_t *src, int count); dst - pointer to pgd range anwhere on a pgd page src - "" count - the number of pgds to copy. dst and src can be on the same page, but the range must not overlap and must not cross a page boundary. Note that I ommitted using this call to copy pgd entries into the software suspend page root, since this is not technically a live paging structure, rather it is used on resume from suspend. CC'ing Pavel in case he has any feedback on this. Thanks to Chris Wright for noticing that this could be more optimal in PAE compiles by eliminating the memset.

2005-09-05[PATCH] x86 NMI: better support for debuggersGeorge Anzinger
This patch adds a notify to the die_nmi notify that the system is about to be taken down. If the notify is handled with a NOTIFY_STOP return, the system is given a new lease on life. We also change the nmi watchdog to carry on if die_nmi returns. This give debug code a chance to a) catch watchdog timeouts and b) possibly allow the system to continue, realizing that the time out may be due to debugger activities such as single stepping which is usually done with "other" cpus held.
