2009-01-26x86: fix section mismatch warningRakib Mullick
Here function vmi_activate calls a init function activate_vmi , which causes the following section mismatch warnings: LD arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x13ba9): Section mismatch in reference from the function vmi_activate() to the function .init.text:vmi_time_init() The function vmi_activate() references the function __init vmi_time_init().

2009-01-26x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs, fixIngo Molnar
Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup. So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that support it. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-26x86: work around PAGE_KERNEL_WC not getting WC in iomap_atomic_prot_pfn.Eric Anholt
In the absence of PAT, PAGE_KERNEL_WC ends up mapping to a memory type that gets UC behavior even in the presence of a WC MTRR covering the area in question. By swapping to PAGE_KERNEL_UC_MINUS, we can get the actual behavior the caller wanted (WC if you can manage it, UC otherwise). This recovers the 40% performance improvement of using WC in the DRM to upload vertex data. Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2009-01-25x86: use standard PIT frequencyIngo Molnar
the RDC and ELAN platforms use slighly different PIT clocks, resulting in a timex.h hack that changes PIT_TICK_RATE during build time. But if a tester enables any of these platform support .config options, the PIT will be miscalibrated on standard PC platforms. So use one frequency - in a subsequent patch we'll add a quirk to allow x86 platforms to define different PIT frequencies. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl) which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct. union { struct { unsigned long private; struct address_space *mapping; }; spinlock_t ptl; struct kmem_cache *slab; struct page *first_page; }; Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks. But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping. The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free path __pte_free_tlb() does. It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

2009-01-21x86: fix page attribute corruption with cpa()Suresh Siddha
Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit 58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff) which exposed the issue, existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute corruption) behavior. This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that various people reported. In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping. If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes, existing code fails like this: __change_page_attr_set_clr() __change_page_attr() returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn. cpa_process_alias() uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value) which can potentially lead to changing the page attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity mapping of RAM pages etc. oops! This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell. Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes.

2009-01-21Revert "x86: signal: change type of paramter for sys_rt_sigreturn()"Ingo Molnar
This reverts commit 4217458dafaa57d8e26a46f5d05ab8c53cf64191. Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox crashes. The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and thus corrupts user-space register state. So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments are written before all input arguments are read.

2009-01-20x86: remove kernel_physical_mapping_init() from init sectionGary Hade
Impact: fix crash with memory hotplug enabled kernel_physical_mapping_init() is called during memory hotplug so it does not belong in the init section. If the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y on the make command line, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c is compiled with the -fno-inline-functions-called-once gcc option defeating inlining of kernel_physical_mapping_init() within init_memory_mapping(). When kernel_physical_mapping_init() is not inlined it is placed in the .init.text section according to the __init in it's current declaration. A later call to kernel_physical_mapping_init() during a memory hotplug operation encounters an int3 trap because the .init.text section memory has been freed. This patch eliminates the crash caused by the int3 trap by moving the non-inlined kernel_physical_mapping_init() from .init.text to .meminit.text.

2009-01-16x86: fix assumed to be contiguous leaf page tables for kmap_atomic region ↵Jan Beulich
(take 2) Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to calculate pte addresses). This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't show up the problem). Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile scheme ever breaks again... Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration, namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the time the fixmap area page tables get constructed. Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for large CPU counts to actually boot.

Impact: reduce kernel image size Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops.

The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code, but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the policy lock taken. Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch. work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.

2009-01-12x86: avoid theoretical vmalloc fault loopAndi Kleen
Ajith Kumar noticed: I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function. pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address); Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k). However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd = pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd = pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address); We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

2009-01-09x86: only scan the root bus in early PCI quirksAndi Kleen
We found a situation on Linus' machine that the Nvidia timer quirk hit on a Intel chipset system. The problem is that the system has a fancy Nvidia card with an own PCI bridge, and the early-quirks code looking for any NVidia bridge triggered on it incorrectly. This didn't lead a boot failure by luck, but the timer routing code selecting the wrong timer first and some ugly messages. It might lead to real problems on other systems. I checked all the devices which are currently checked for by early_quirks and it turns out they are all located in the root bus zero. So change the early-quirks loop to only scan bus 0. This incidently also saves quite some unnecessary scanning work, because early_quirks doesn't go through all the non root busses. The graphics card is not on bus 0, so it is not matched anymore.

2009-01-09[S390] dasd: add device attribute to disable blocking on lost pathsHolger Smolinski
When the connection between host and storage server is lost, the dasd device driver usually blocks all I/O on affected devices and waits for them to reappear. In some setups however it would be better if the I/O is returned as error so that device can be recovered by some other means, eg. in a raid or multipath setup.
