2008-12-31x86: disable VMX on all CPUs on rebootEduardo Habkost
On emergency_restart, we may need to use an NMI to disable virtualization on all CPUs. We do that using nmi_shootdown_cpus() if VMX is enabled. Note: With this patch, we will run the NMI stuff only when the CPU where emergency_restart() was called has VMX enabled. This should work on most cases because KVM enables VMX on all CPUs, but we may miss the small window where KVM is doing that. Also, I don't know if all code using VMX out there always enable VMX on all CPUs like KVM does. We have two other alternatives for that: a) Have an API that all code that enables VMX on any CPU should use to tell the kernel core that it is going to enable VMX on the CPUs. b) Always call nmi_shootdown_cpus() if the CPU supports VMX. This is a bit intrusive and more risky, as it would run nmi_shootdown_cpus() on emergency_reboot() even on systems where virtualization is never enabled. Finding a proper point to hook the nmi_shootdown_cpus() call isn't trivial, as the non-emergency machine_restart() (that doesn't need the NMI tricks) uses machine_emergency_restart() directly. The solution to make this work without adding a new function or argument to machine_ops was setting a 'reboot_emergency' flag that tells if native_machine_emergency_restart() needs to do the virt cleanup or not.

2008-12-31kdump: forcibly disable VMX and SVM on machine_crash_shutdown()Eduardo Habkost
We need to disable virtualization extensions on all CPUs before booting the kdump kernel, otherwise the kdump kernel booting will fail, and rebooting after the kdump kernel did its task may also fail. We do it using cpu_emergency_vmxoff() and cpu_emergency_svm_disable(), that should always work, because those functions check if the CPUs support SVM or VMX before doing their tasks.

2008-12-25tracing/ftrace: don't trace on early stage of a secondary cpu boot, v3Frederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state. On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime. Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too. Changes on v2: We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing. This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper function used at this stage.

2008-12-22x86: prioritize the FPU traps for the error codeH. Peter Anvin
In the case of multiple FPU errors, prioritize the error codes, instead of returning __SI_FAULT, which ends up pushing a 0 as the error code to userspace, a POSIX violation. For i386, we will simply return if there are no errors at all; for x86-64 this is probably a "can't happen" (and the code should be unified), but for this patch, return __SI_FAULT|SI_KERNEL if this ever happens.

2008-12-20x86: fix resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110LDmitry Adamushko
Impact: fix deadlock This is in response to the following bug report: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100 Subject : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L Submitter : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de> Date : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old) Handled-By : Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> [ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ] I think I might have a logical explanation why the system: (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100) might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time. (1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is taken; (2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a deadlock. Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this issue has never popped up. I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the 2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock..."). In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

Impact: fix wrong cache sharing detection on platforms supporting > 8 bit apicid's In the presence of extended topology eumeration leaf 0xb provided by cpuid, 32bit extended initial_apicid in cpuinfo_x86 struct will be updated by detect_extended_topology(). At this instance, we should also reinit the apicid (which could also potentially be extended to 32bit). With out this there will potentially be duplicate apicid's populated in the per cpu's cpuinfo_x86 struct, resulting in wrong cache sharing topology etc detected by init_intel_cacheinfo().

this warning: arch/x86/kernel/microcode_amd.c: In function ‘apply_microcode_amd’: arch/x86/kernel/microcode_amd.c:163: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size arch/x86/kernel/microcode_amd.c:163: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size triggers because we want to pass the address to the microcode MSR, which is 64-bit even on 32-bit.
