x86/reboot: Remove VersaLogic Menlow reboot quirk
x86/reboot: Skip DMI checks if reboot set by user
x86: Properly parenthesize cmpxchg() macro arguments
|
|
This commit removes the reboot quirk originally added by commit
e19e074 ("x86: Fix reboot problem on VersaLogic Menlow boards").
Testing with a VersaLogic Ocelot (VL-EPMs-21a rev 1.00 w/ BIOS
6.5.102) revealed the following regarding the reboot hang
problem:
- v2.6.37 reboot=bios was needed.
- v2.6.38-rc1: behavior changed, reboot=acpi is needed,
reboot=kbd and reboot=bios results in system hang.
- v2.6.38: VersaLogic patch (e19e074 "x86: Fix reboot problem on
VersaLogic Menlow boards") was applied prior to v2.6.38-rc7. This
patch sets a quirk for VersaLogic Menlow boards that forces the use
of reboot=bios, which doesn't work anymore.
- v3.2: It seems that commit 660e34c ("x86: Reorder reboot method
preferences") changed the default reboot method to acpi prior to
v3.0-rc1, which means the default behavior is appropriate for the
Ocelot. No VersaLogic quirk is required.
The Ocelot board used for testing can successfully reboot w/out
having to pass any reboot= arguments for all 3 current versions
of the BIOS.

Smatch complains that we have some inconsistent NULL checking.
If "task" were NULL then it would lead to a NULL dereference
later. We can remove this test because earlier on in the

rsyslog will display KERN_EMERG messages on a connected
terminal. However, these messages are useless/undecipherable
for a general user.
For example, after a softlockup we get:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
kernel:Stack:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
kernel:Call Trace:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
kernel:Code: ff ff a8 08 75 25 31 d2 48 8d 86 38 e0 ff ff 48 89
d1 0f 01 c8 0f ae f0 48 8b 86 38 e0 ff ff a8 08 75 08 b1 01 4c 89 e0 0f 01 c9 <e8> ea 69 dd ff 4c 29 e8 48 89 c7 e8 0f bc da ff 49 89 c4 49 89
This happens because the printk levels for these messages are
incorrect. Only an informational message should be displayed on
a terminal.
I modified the printk levels for various messages in the kernel
and tested the output by using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c kernel
modules (ie, softlockups, panics, hard lockups, etc.) and
confirmed that the console output was still the same and that
the output to the terminals was correct.
For example, in the case of a softlockup we now see the much
more informative:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 10:18:06 ...
BUG: soft lockup - CPU4 stuck for 60s!
instead of the above confusing messages.
AFAICT, the messages no longer have to be KERN_EMERG. In the
most important case of a panic we set console_verbose(). As for
the other less severe cases the correct data is output to the
console and /var/log/messages.
Successfully tested by me using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c module.

Quite oddly, all of the arguments passed through from the top
level macros to the second level which didn't need parentheses
had them, while the only expression (involving a parameter)
needing them didn't.
Very recently I got bitten by the lack thereof when using
something like "array + index" for the first operand, with
"array" being an array more narrow than int.

We've decided to provide CPU family specific container files
(starting with CPU family 15h). E.g. for family 15h we have to
load microcode_amd_fam15h.bin instead of microcode_amd.bin
Rationale is that starting with family 15h patch size is larger
than 2KB which was hard coded as maximum patch size in various
microcode loaders (not just Linux).
Container files which include patches larger than 2KB cause
different kinds of trouble with such old patch loaders. Thus we
have to ensure that the default container file provides only
patches with size less than 2KB.

The lack of explicit initialization seems to be functionally

If NR_CPUS < 256 then arch_spinlock_t is only 16 bits wide but struct
xen_spinlock is 32 bits. When a spin lock is contended and
xl->spinners is modified the two bytes immediately after the spin lock
would be corrupted.
This is a regression caused by 84eb950db13ca40a0572ce9957e14723500943d6
(x86, ticketlock: Clean up types and accessors) which reduced the size
of arch_spinlock_t.
Fix this by making xl->spinners a u8 if NR_CPUS < 256. A
BUILD_BUG_ON() is also added to check the sizes of the two structures
are compatible.
In many cases this was not noticable as there would often be padding
bytes after the lock (e.g., if any of CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK,
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, or CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC were enabled).
The bnx2 driver is affected. In struct bnx2, phy_lock and
indirect_lock may have no padding after them. Contention on phy_lock
would corrupt indirect_lock making it appear locked and the driver
would deadlock.

Several problems fixed in this patch :
1) Target of the conditional jump in case a divide by 0 is performed
by a bpf is wrong.
2) Must 'generate' the full function prologue/epilogue at pass=0,
or else we can stop too early in pass=1 if the proglen doesnt change.
(if the increase of prologue/epilogue equals decrease of all
instructions length because some jumps are converted to near jumps)
3) Change the wrong length detection at the end of code generation to
issue a more explicit message, no need for a full stack trace.

pit_expect_msb() returns success wrongly in the below SMI scenario:
a. pit_verify_msb() has not yet seen the MSB transition.
b. we are close to the MSB transition though and got a SMI immediately after
returning from pit_verify_msb() which didn't see the MSB transition. PIT MSB
transition has happened somewhere during SMI execution.
c. returned from SMI and we noted down the 'tsc', saw the pit MSB change now and
exited the loop to calculate 'deltatsc'. Instead of noting the TSC at the MSB
transition, we are way off because of the SMI. And as the SMI happened
between the pit_verify_msb() and before the 'tsc' is recorded in the
for loop, 'delattsc' (d1/d2 in quick_pit_calibrate()) will be small and
quick_pit_calibrate() will not notice this error.
Depending on whether SMI disturbance happens while computing d1 or d2, we will
see the TSC calibrated value smaller or bigger than the expected value. As a
result, in a cluster we were seeing a variation of approximately +/- 20MHz in
the calibrated values, resulting in NTP failures.
[ As far as the SMI source is concerned, this is a periodic SMI that gets
disabled after ACPI is enabled by the OS. But the TSC calibration happens
before the ACPI is enabled. ]
To address this, change pit_expect_msb() so that
- the 'tsc' is the TSC in between the two reads that read the MSB
change from the PIT (same as before)
- the 'delta' is the difference in TSC from *before* the MSB changed
to *after* the MSB changed.
Now the delta is twice as big as before (it covers four PIT accesses,
roughly 4us) and quick_pit_calibrate() will loop a bit longer to get
the calibrated value with in the 500ppm precision. As the delta (d1/d2)
covers four PIT accesses, actual calibrated result might be closer to
250ppm precision.
As the loop now takes longer to stabilize, double MAX_QUICK_PIT_MS to 50.
SMI disturbance will showup as much larger delta's and the loop will take
longer than usual for the result to be with in the accepted precision. Or will
fallback to slow PIT calibration if it takes more than 50msec.
Also while we are at this, remove the calibration correction that aims to
get the result to the middle of the error bars. We really don't know which
direction to correct into, so remove it.

In the ia32entry syscall exit audit fastpath we have assembly code which calls
__audit_syscall_exit directly. This code was, however, zeroes the upper 32
bits of the return code. It then proceeded to call code which expects longs
to be 64bits long. In order to handle code which expects longs to be 64bit we
sign extend the return code if that code is an error. Thus the
__audit_syscall_exit function can correctly handle using the values in
snprintf("%ld"). This fixes the regression introduced in 5cbf1565f29eb57a86a.
Old record:
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1306197182.256:281): arch=40000003 syscall=192 success=no exit=4294967283

The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the
layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic
is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.
We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit
function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
arch correct structure to dereference it.
The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.
In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this
patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].
For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the
regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is
always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
before calling the audit code when appropriate.

In SRAT v1, we had 8bit proximity domain (PXM) fields; SRAT v2 provides
32bits for these. The new fields were reserved before.
According to the ACPI spec, the OS must disregrard reserved fields.
x86/x86-64 was rather inconsistent prior to this patch; it used 8 bits
for the pxm field in cpu_affinity, but 32 bits in mem_affinity.
This patch makes it consistent: Either use 8 bits consistently (SRAT
rev 1 or lower) or 32 bits (SRAT rev 2 or higher).

Some firmware will access memory in ACPI NVS region via APEI. That
is, instructions in APEI ERST/EINJ table will read/write ACPI NVS
region. The original resource conflict checking in APEI code will
check memory/ioport accessed by APEI via general resource management
mechanism. But ACPI NVS region is marked as busy already, so that the
false resource conflict will prevent APEI ERST/EINJ to work.
To fix this, this patch record ACPI NVS regions, so that we can avoid
request resources for memory region inside it.

This patch implements a workaround for a UV2 hardware bug.
The bug is a non-atomic update of a memory-mapped register. When
hardware message delivery and software message acknowledge occur
simultaneously the pending message acknowledge for the arriving
message may be lost. This causes the sender's message status to
stay busy.
Part of the workaround is to not acknowledge a completed message
until it is verified that no other message is actually using the
resource that is mistakenly recorded in the completed message.
Part of the workaround is to test for long elapsed time in such
a busy condition, then handle it by using a spare sending
descriptor. The stay-busy condition is eventually timed out by
hardware, and then the original sending descriptor can be
re-used. Most of that logic change is in keeping track of the
current descriptor and the state of the spares.
The occurrences of the workaround are added to the BAU
statistics.

When suspending, there was a large list of warnings going something like:
Device 'machinecheck1' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed
This patch turns the static mce_devices into dynamically allocated, and
properly frees them when they are removed from the system. It solves
the warning messages on my laptop here.

This is what the Intel manuals show, but it's not correct.
The 'X' stands for:
Memory addressed by the DS:rSI register pair (for example, MOVS, CMPS, OUTS, or LODS).
On the other hand 'Y' means (also see the ae byte entry for
SCASB):
Memory addressed by the ES:rDI register pair (for example, MOVS, CMPS, INS, STOS, or SCAS).

Commit 8a25a2fd126c ("cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class
to a regular subsystem") changed how things are dealt with in the MCE
subsystem. Some of the things that got broken due to this are CPU
hotplug and suspend/hibernate.
MCE uses per_cpu allocations of struct device. So, when a CPU goes
offline and comes back online, in order to ensure that we start from a
clean slate with respect to the MCE subsystem, zero out the entire
per_cpu device structure to 0 before using it.

Andrew explains:
- various misc stuff
- Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.
- cpumask
- kexec
- kdump
- some direct-io performance tweaking
- radix-tree optimisations
- new selftests code
A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets
thrown into Documentation/(!).
This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance
or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.
The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
evolves.
- checkpoint/restart feature work.
A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.
So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
expose something new or which permit something which is normally
kernel-private to be modified.
The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size
and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.
However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all
eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.
This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.
