2009-02-17x86, mce: don't disable machine checks during code patchingAndi Kleen
Impact: low priority bug fix This removes part of a a patch I added myself some time ago. After some consideration the patch was a bad idea. In particular it stopped machine check exceptions during code patching. To quote the comment: * MCEs only happen when something got corrupted and in this * case we must do something about the corruption. * Ignoring it is worse than a unlikely patching race. * Also machine checks tend to be broadcast and if one CPU * goes into machine check the others follow quickly, so we don't * expect a machine check to cause undue problems during to code * patching. So undo the machine check related parts of 8f4e956b313dcccbc7be6f10808952345e3b638c NMIs are still disabled. This only removes code, the only additions are a new comment.

num_possible_cpus() can be > 1 when disabled CPUs have been accounted. Disabled CPUs are not in the cpu_present_map, so we can use num_present_cpus() as a safe indicator to switch to UP alternatives.

2008-08-15x86: alternatives : fix LOCK_PREFIX race with preemptible kernel and CPU hotplugMathieu Desnoyers
If a kernel thread is preempted in single-cpu mode right after the NOP (nop about to be turned into a lock prefix), then we CPU hotplug a CPU, and then the thread is scheduled back again, a SMP-unsafe atomic operation will be used on shared SMP variables, leading to corruption. No corruption would happen in the reverse case : going from SMP to UP is ok because we split a bit instruction into tiny pieces, which does not present this condition. Changing the 0x90 (single-byte nop) currently used into a 0x3E DS segment override prefix should fix this issue. Since the default of the atomic instructions is to use the DS segment anyway, it should not affect the behavior. The exception to this are references that use ESP/RSP and EBP/RBP as the base register (they will use the SS segment), however, in Linux (a) DS == SS at all times, and (b) we do not distinguish between segment violations reported as #SS as opposed to #GP, so there is no need to disassemble the instruction to figure out the suitable segment. This patch assumes that the 0x3E prefix will leave atomic operations as-is (thus assuming they normally touch data in the DS segment). Since there seem to be no obvious ill-use of other segment override prefixes for atomic operations, it should be safe. It can be verified with a quick grep -r LOCK_PREFIX include/asm-x86/ grep -A 1 -r LOCK_PREFIX arch/x86/ Taken from This source : AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 3: General-Purpose and System Instructions States "Instructions that Reference a Non-Stack Segment—If an instruction encoding references any base register other than rBP or rSP, or if an instruction contains an immediate offset, the default segment is the data segment (DS). These instructions can use the segment-override prefix to select one of the non-default segments, as shown in Table 1-5." Therefore, forcing the DS segment on the atomic operations, which already use the DS segment, should not change. This source : http://wiki.osdev.org/X86_Instruction_Encoding States "In 64-bit the CS, SS, DS and ES segment overrides are ignored." Confirmed by "AMD 64-Bit Technology" A.7 http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/x86-64_overview.pdf "In 64-bit mode, the DS, ES, SS and CS segment-override prefixes have no effect. These four prefixes are no longer treated as segment-override prefixes in the context of multipleprefix rules. Instead, they are treated as null prefixes." This patch applies to 2.6.27-rc2, but would also have to be applied to earlier kernels (2.6.26, 2.6.25, ...). Performance impact of the fix : tests done on "xaddq" and "xaddl" shows it actually improves performances on Intel Xeon, AMD64, Pentium M. It does not change the performance on Pentium II, Pentium 3 and Pentium 4.

I suspect that without this fix, with the enhanced hotplug and kprobes patch, kprobes will use text_poke to insert breakpoints in modules (vmalloced pages used), which will map the wrong pages and corrupt random kernel locations instead of updating the correct page. Work that would write protect the module pages should clearly be done, but it can come in a later time. We have to make sure we interact correctly with the page allocation debugging, as an example. Here is the patch against x86.git 2.6.25-rc5 : The shadow vmap for DEBUG_RODATA kernel text modification uses virt_to_page to get the pages from the pointer address. However, I think vmalloc_to_page would be required in case the page is used for modules. Since only the core kernel text is marked read-only, use kernel_text_address() to make sure we only shadow map the core kernel text, not modules.

2008-04-17x86: enhance DEBUG_RODATA support - alternativesMathieu Desnoyers
Fix a memcpy that should be a text_poke (in apply_alternatives). Use kernel_wp_save/kernel_wp_restore in text_poke to support DEBUG_RODATA correctly and so the CPU HOTPLUG special case can be removed. Add text_poke_early, for alternatives and paravirt boot-time and module load time patching. Changelog: - Fix text_set and text_poke alignment check (mixed up bitwise and and or) - Remove text_set - Export add_nops, so it can be used by others. - Document text_poke_early. - Remove clflush, since it breaks some VIA architectures and is not strictly necessary. - Add kerneldoc to text_poke and text_poke_early. - Create a second vmap instead of using the WP bit to support Xen and VMI. - Move local_irq disable within text_poke and text_poke_early to be able to be sleepable in these functions.

2008-04-09pop previous section in alternative.cSteven Rostedt
gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type. The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when executing this code. This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the original section. Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel. ;-) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-01-30x86: optimize lock prefix switching to run less frequentlyAndi Kleen
On VMs implemented using JITs that cache translated code changing the lock prefixes is a quite costly operation that forces the JIT to throw away and retranslate a lot of code. Previously a SMP kernel would rewrite the locks once for each CPU which is quite unnecessary. This patch changes the code to never switch at boot in the normal case (SMP kernel booting with >1 CPU) or only once for SMP kernel on UP. This makes a significant difference in boot up performance on AMD SimNow! Also I expect it to be a little faster on native systems too because a smp switch does a lot of text_poke()s which each synchronize the pipeline. v1->v2: Rename max_cpus v1->v2: Fix off by one in UP check (Thomas Gleixner) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2007-10-19x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu arrayMike Travis
cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus. When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes 3,145,728 bytes. These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo(). cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP case.

2007-10-16paravirt: refactor struct paravirt_ops into smaller pv_*_opsJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of functionally related ops: pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too) pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else pv_time_ops - time-related functions pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state pv_apic_ops - APIC operations pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables There are several motivations for this: 1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be i386/x86-64 specific. This makes it easier to share common stuff while allowing separate implementations where needed. 2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only need selected parts of it. This allows us to export on a case by case basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply). 3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable. Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting into jmp/calls when patching. It is only instantiated when needed.
