2009-03-17prevent boosting kprobes on exception addressMasami Hiramatsu
Don't boost at the addresses which are listed on exception tables, because major page fault will occur on those addresses. In that case, kprobes can not ensure that when instruction buffer can be freed since some processes will sleep on the buffer. kprobes-ia64 already has same check.

2009-03-17Fast TSC calibration: calculate proper frequency error boundsLinus Torvalds
In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead. The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than 500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm error value). However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors. So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads, and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum error bars fall below 500ppm. In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

2009-03-17Fix potential fast PIT TSC calibration startup glitchLinus Torvalds
During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer) to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value. That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

2009-03-09Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod."Dave Jones
This reverts commit e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6. Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826. Course of action: - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically. If it isn't, we need to fix that. - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated - try again with the removal in six months. It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

The former will WARN() if the context is not NULL. Oleg Nesterov submitted patches that move ptrace_exit() before exit_thread() and thus reverse the order of the above calls. Remove the bad warning.

2009-03-04x86, math-emu: fix init_fpu for task != currentDaniel Glöckner
Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get a null pointer exception in finit. This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction. An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined. The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

2009-03-02x86-64: syscall-audit: fix 32/64 syscall holeRoland McGrath
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80. In both these cases, audit_syscall_entry() will use the wrong system call number table and the wrong system call argument registers. This could be used to circumvent a syscall audit configuration that filters based on the syscall numbers or argument details.

As acpi_enter_sleep_state can fail, take this into account in do_suspend_lowlevel and don't return to the do_suspend_lowlevel's caller. This would break (currently) fpu status and preempt count. Technically, this means use `call' instead of `jmp' and `jmp' to the `resume_point' after the `call' (i.e. if acpi_enter_sleep_state returns=fails). `resume_point' will handle the restore of fpu and preempt count gracefully.

2009-02-13x86, hpet: fix for LS21 + HPET = boot hangjohn stultz
Between 2.6.23 and 2.6.24-rc1 a change was made that broke IBM LS21 systems that had the HPET enabled in the BIOS, resulting in boot hangs for x86_64. Specifically commit b8ce33590687888ebb900d09557b8807c4539022, which merges the i386 and x86_64 HPET code. Prior to this commit, when we setup the HPET timers in x86_64, we did the following: hpet_writel(HPET_TN_ENABLE | HPET_TN_PERIODIC | HPET_TN_SETVAL | HPET_TN_32BIT, HPET_T0_CFG); However after the i386/x86_64 HPET merge, we do the following: cfg = hpet_readl(HPET_Tn_CFG(timer)); cfg |= HPET_TN_ENABLE | HPET_TN_PERIODIC | HPET_TN_SETVAL | HPET_TN_32BIT; hpet_writel(cfg, HPET_Tn_CFG(timer)); However on LS21s with HPET enabled in the BIOS, the HPET_T0_CFG register boots with Level triggered interrupts (HPET_TN_LEVEL) enabled. This causes the periodic interrupt to be not so periodic, and that results in the boot time hang I reported earlier in the delay calibration.

2009-02-11tracing, x86: fix constraint for parent variableSteven Rostedt
The constraint used for retrieving and restoring the parent function pointer is incorrect. The parent variable is a pointer, and the address of the pointer is modified by the asm statement and not the pointer itself. It is incorrect to pass it in as an output constraint since the asm will never update the pointer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-10tracing, x86: fix fixup section to return to original codeSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix to prevent a kernel crash on fault If for some reason the pointer to the parent function on the stack takes a fault, the fix up code will not return back to the original faulting code. This can lead to unpredictable results and perhaps even a kernel panic. A fault should not happen, but if it does, we should simply disable the tracer, warn, and continue running the kernel. It should not lead to a kernel crash. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2009-02-10x86: fix math_emu register frame accessTejun Heo
do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless of configuration in the current code. This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate() like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler used. This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it somewhat working. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-02-09x86, vmi: put a missing paravirt_release_pmd in pgd_dtorAlok Kataria
Commit 6194ba6ff6ccf8d5c54c857600843c67aa82c407 ("x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations, and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path. As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a page table page. After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots). Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

2009-02-09x86: add clflush before monitor for Intel 7400 seriesPallipadi, Venkatesh
For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1]. This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the monitored address was recently written to.

2009-02-05[CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Get transition latency from ACPI _PSS tableMark Langsdorf
At this time, the PowerNow! driver for K8 uses an experimentally derived formula to calculate transition latency. The value it provides is orders of magnitude too large on modern systems. This patch replaces the formula with ACPI _PSS latency values for more accuracy and better performance. I've tested it on two 2nd generation Opteron systems, a 3rd generation Operton system, and a Turion X2 without seeing any stability problems.

2009-02-05x86: fix hpet timer reinit for x86_64Pavel Emelyanov
There's a small problem with hpet_rtc_reinit function - it checks for the: hpet_readl(HPET_COUNTER) - hpet_t1_cmp > 0 to continue increasing both the HPET_T1_CMP (register) and the hpet_t1_cmp (variable). But since the HPET_COUNTER is always 32-bit, if the hpet_t1_cmp is 64-bit this condition will always be FALSE once the latter hits the 32-bit boundary, and we can have a situation, when we don't increase the HPET_T1_CMP register high enough. The result - timer stops ticking, since HPET_T1_CMP becomes less, than the COUNTER and never increased again. The solution is (based on Linus's suggestion) to not compare 64-bits (on 64-bit x86), but to do the comparison on 32-bit signed integers.

Impact: fix to enable APIC for AMD Fam10h on chipsets with a missing/b0rked ACPI MP table (MADT) Booting a 32bit kernel on an AMD Fam10h CPU running on chipsets with missing/b0rked MP table leads to a hang pretty early in the boot process due to the APIC not being initialized.
