2009-02-11x86: use regparm(3) for passed-in pt_regs pointerBrian Gerst
Some syscalls need to access the pt_regs structure, either to copy user register state or to modifiy it. This patch adds stubs to load the address of the pt_regs struct into the %eax register, and changes the syscalls to take the pointer as an argument instead of relying on the assumption that the pt_regs structure overlaps the function arguments. Drop the use of regparm(1) due to concern about gcc bugs, and to move in the direction of the eventual removal of regparm(0) for asmlinkage.

2009-02-11x86: fix x86_32 stack protector bugsTejun Heo
Impact: fix x86_32 stack protector Brian Gerst found out that %gs was being initialized to stack_canary instead of stack_canary - 20, which basically gave the same canary value for all threads. Fixing this also exposed the following bugs. * cpu_idle() didn't call boot_init_stack_canary() * stack canary switching in switch_to() was being done too late making the initial run of a new thread use the old stack canary value. Fix all of them and while at it update comment in cpu_idle() about calling boot_init_stack_canary().

2009-02-11x86, apic: fix initialization of wakeup_cpuAlok Kataria
With refactoring of wake_cpu macros the 32bit code in tip doesn't execute generic_apic_probe if CONFIG_X86_32_NON_STANDARD is not set. Even on a x86 STANDARD cpu we need to execute the generic_apic_probe function, as we rely on this function to execute the update_genapic quirk which initilizes apic->wakeup_cpu. Failing to do so results in we making a call to a null function in do_boot_cpu. The stack trace without the patch goes like this.

2009-02-11tracing, x86: fix constraint for parent variableSteven Rostedt

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: 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.

2009-02-10x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32Tejun Heo
Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary. In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs handling optional by doing the followings. * Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs. * Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path and simplifies entry path with error code. * Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily. * Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly. xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

2009-02-10x86: add %gs accessors for x86_32Tejun Heo
Impact: cleanup On x86_32, %gs is handled lazily. It's not saved and restored on kernel entry/exit but only when necessary which usually is during task switch but there are few other places. Currently, it's done by calling savesegment() and loadsegment() explicitly. Define get_user_gs(), set_user_gs() and task_user_gs() and use them instead.

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>

acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap On x86, __acpi_map_table uses early_ioremap() to create the mapping, replacing the previous mapping with a new one. Once enough of the kernel is up an running it switches to using normal ioremap(). At that point, we need to clean up the final mapping to avoid a warning from the early_ioremap subsystem. This can be removed after all the instances in the ACPI code are fixed that rely on early-ioremap's implicit overmapping of previously mapped tables.

However, unlike early_ioremap(), __acpi_map_table() just maintains a single mapping which gets replaced each call, and has no corresponding unmap function. Implement this by just removing the previous mapping each time its called. Unfortunately, this will leave a stray mapping at the end.

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: find nr_irqs_gsi with mp_ioapic_routingYinghai Lu
Impact: find right nr_irqs_gsi on some systems. One test-system has gap between gsi's: [ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x04] address[0xfec00000] gsi_base[0]) [ 0.000000] IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 4, version 0, address 0xfec00000, GSI 0-23 [ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x05] address[0xfeafd000] gsi_base[48]) [ 0.000000] IOAPIC[1]: apic_id 5, version 0, address 0xfeafd000, GSI 48-54 [ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x06] address[0xfeafc000] gsi_base[56]) [ 0.000000] IOAPIC[2]: apic_id 6, version 0, address 0xfeafc000, GSI 56-62 ... [ 0.000000] nr_irqs_gsi: 38 So nr_irqs_gsi is not right. some irq for MSI will overwrite with io_apic. need to get that with acpi_probe_gsi when acpi io_apic is used Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-09xen: use our own eventchannel->irq pathJeremy Fitzhardinge
Rather than overloading vectors for event channels, take full responsibility for mapping an event channel to irq directly. With this patch Xen has its own irq allocator. When the kernel gets an event channel upcall, it maps the event channel number to an irq and injects it into the normal interrupt path.
