2009-09-03x86/i386: Make sure stack-protector segment base is cache alignedJeremy Fitzhardinge
The Intel Optimization Reference Guide says: In Intel Atom microarchitecture, the address generation unit assumes that the segment base will be 0 by default. Non-zero segment base will cause load and store operations to experience a delay. - If the segment base isn't aligned to a cache line boundary, the max throughput of memory operations is reduced to one [e]very 9 cycles. [...] Assembly/Compiler Coding Rule 15. (H impact, ML generality) For Intel Atom processors, use segments with base set to 0 whenever possible; avoid non-zero segment base address that is not aligned to cache line boundary at all cost. We can't avoid having a non-zero base for the stack-protector segment, but we can make it cache-aligned.

2009-08-12x86: Fix oops in identify_cpu() on CPUs without CPUIDOndrej Zary
Kernel is broken for x86 CPUs without CPUID since 2.6.28. It crashes with NULL pointer dereference in identify_cpu(): 766 generic_identify(c); 767 768--> if (this_cpu->c_identify) 769 this_cpu->c_identify(c); this_cpu is NULL. This is because it's only initialized in get_cpu_vendor() function, which is not called if the CPU has no CPUID instruction.

2009-08-04x86, percpu: Collect hot percpu variables into one cachelineTejun Heo
On x86_64, percpu variables current_task and kernel_stack are used for get_current() and current_thread_info() respectively and thus are often used close to each other. Move definition of current_task to kernel/cpu/common.c right above kernel_stack definition and align it to cacheline so that they always fall into the same cacheline. Two percpu variables defined there together - irq_stack_ptr and irq_count - are also pretty hot and will benefit from sharing the cacheline. For consistency, current_task definition for x86_32 is also moved to kernel/cpu/common.c. Putting current_task and kernel_stack into the same cacheline was suggested by Linus Torvalds.

DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() put percpu variables in .page_aligned section without adding any alignment restrictions. Currently, this doesn't cause any problem because all users of the macros have explicit page alignment and page-sized but it's much safer to enforce page alignment from the macros. After all, it's what they claim to do. Add __aligned(PAGE_SIZE) to DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() and drop explicit alignment from it users.

2009-06-17i386: fix/simplify espfix stack switching, move it into assemblyAlexander van Heukelum
The espfix code triggers if we have a protected mode userspace application with a 16-bit stack. On returning to userspace, with iret, the CPU doesn't restore the high word of the stack pointer. This is an "official" bug, and the work-around used in the kernel is to temporarily switch to a 32-bit stack segment/pointer pair where the high word of the pointer is equal to the high word of the userspace stackpointer. The current implementation uses THREAD_SIZE to determine the cut-off, but there is no good reason not to use the more natural 64kb... However, implementing this by simply substituting THREAD_SIZE with 65536 in patch_espfix_desc crashed the test application. patch_espfix_desc tries to do what is described above, but gets it subtly wrong if the userspace stack pointer is just below a multiple of THREAD_SIZE: an overflow occurs to bit 13... With a bit of luck, when the kernelspace stackpointer is just below a 64kb-boundary, the overflow then ripples trough to bit 16 and userspace will see its stack pointer changed by 65536. This patch moves all espfix code into entry_32.S. Selecting a 16-bit cut-off simplifies the code. The game with changing the limit dynamically is removed too. It complicates matters and I see no value in it. Changing only the top 16-bit word of ESP is one instruction and it also implies that only two bytes of the ESPFIX GDT entry need to be changed and this can be implemented in just a handful simple to understand instructions. As a side effect, the operation to compute the original ESP from the ESPFIX ESP and the GDT entry simplifies a bit too, and the remaining three instructions have been expanded inline in entry_32.S. impact: can now reliably run userspace with ESP=xxxxfffc on 16-bit stack segment Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Acked-by: Stas Sergeev <stsp@aknet.ru> Signed-off-by: H.

2009-06-16x86: cap iomem_resource to addressable physical memoryH. Peter Anvin
iomem_resource is by default initialized to -1, which means 64 bits of physical address space if 64-bit resources are enabled. However, x86 CPUs cannot address 64 bits of physical address space. Thus, we want to cap the physical address space to what the union of all CPU can actually address. Without this patch, we may end up assigning inaccessible values to uninitialized 64-bit PCI memory resources. Signed-off-by: H.

2009-02-15x86: fix typo in filter_cpuid_features()Yinghai Lu
Impact: fix wrong disabling of cpu features an amd system got this strange output: CPU: CPU feature monitor disabled due to lack of CPUID level 0x5 but in /proc/cpuinfo I have: cpuid level : 5 on intel system: CPU: CPU feature monitor disabled due to lack of CPUID level 0x5 CPU: CPU feature dca disabled due to lack of CPUID level 0x9 but in /proc/cpuinfo i have: cpuid level : 11 Tt turns out there is a typo, and we should use level member in df.

2009-02-10x86: implement x86_32 stack protectorTejun Heo
Impact: stack protector for x86_32 Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it. It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes. CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu variable. x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely need something better.

2009-02-09x86: use linker to offset symbols by __per_cpu_loadBrian Gerst
Impact: cleanup and bug fix Use the linker to create symbols for certain per-cpu variables that are offset by __per_cpu_load. This allows the removal of the runtime fixup of the GDT pointer, which fixes a bug with resume reported by Jiri Slaby.

2009-01-31x86: split loading percpu segments from loading gdtJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: split out a function, no functional change Xen needs to be able to access percpu data from very early on. For various reasons, it cannot also load the gdt at that time. It does, however, have a pefectly functional gdt at that point, so there's no pressing need to reload the gdt. Split the function to load the segment registers off, so Xen can call it directly.

2009-01-31x86: pass in cpu number to switch_to_new_gdt()Brian Gerst
Impact: cleanup, prepare for xen boot fix. Xen needs to call this function very early to setup the GDT and per-cpu segments. Remove the call to smp_processor_id() and just pass in the cpu number. Signed-off-by: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
