2008-06-17x86-64: Fix "bytes left to copy" return value for copy_from_user()Linus Torvalds
Most users by far do not care about the exact return value (they only really care about whether the copy succeeded in its entirety or not), but a few special core routines actually care deeply about exactly how many bytes were copied from user space. And the unrolled versions of the x86-64 user copy routines would sometimes report that it had copied more bytes than it actually had. Very few uses actually have partial copies to begin with, but to make this bug even harder to trigger, most x86 CPU's use the "rep string" instructions for normal user copies, and that version didn't have this issue. To make it even harder to hit, the one user of this that really cared about the return value (and used the uncached version of the copy that doesn't use the "rep string" instructions) was the generic write routine, which pre-populated its source, once more hiding the problem by avoiding the exception case that triggers the bug. In other words, very special thanks to Bron Gondwana who not only triggered this, but created a test-program to show it, and bisected the behavior down to commit 08291429cfa6258c4cd95d8833beb40f828b194e ("mm: fix pagecache write deadlocks") which changed the access pattern just enough that you can now trigger it with 'writev()' with multiple iovec's. That commit itself was not the cause of the bug, it just allowed all the stars to align just right that you could trigger the problem. [ Side note: this is just the minimal fix to make the copy routines (with __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache as the particular version that was involved in showing this) have the right return values. We really should improve on the exceptional case further - to make the copy do a byte-accurate copy up to the exact page limit that causes it to fail. As it is, the callers have to do extra work to handle the limit case gracefully. ] Reported-by: Bron Gondwana <brong@fastmail.fm> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> (which didn't have this problem), and since most users that do the carethis was very hard to trigger, but
2008-06-17x86: fix bug in arch/i386/lib/delay.c file, delay_loop functionJiri Hladky
when trying to understand how Bogomips are implemented I have found a bug in arch/i386/lib/delay.c file, delay_loop function. The function fails for loops > 2^31+1. It because SF is set when dec returns numbers > 2^31. The fix is to use jnz instruction instead of jns (and add one decl instruction to the end to have exactly the same number of loops as in original version). Martin Mares observed: > It is a long time since I have hacked that file, but you should definitely > make sure that the function is never called with a zero argument. In such > case, the original version made just a single pass, but your version > makes 2^32 of them. fixed that. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-06-04x86: enable preemption in delaySteven Rostedt
The RT team has been searching for a nasty latency. This latency shows up out of the blue and has been seen to be as big as 5ms! Using ftrace I found the cause of the latency. pcscd-2995 3dNh1 52360300us : irq_exit (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : idle_cpu (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (apic_timer_interrupt ) pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : exit_idle (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) Here's an example of a 400 us latency. pcscd took a timer interrupt and returned with "need resched" enabled, but did not reschedule until after the next interrupt came in at 52360771us 400us later! At first I thought we somehow missed a preemption check in entry.S. But I also noticed that this always seemed to happen during a __delay call. pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360836us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3.N.. 52361265us : preempt_schedule (__delay) Looking at the x86 delay, I found my problem. In git commit 35d5d08a085c56f153458c3f5d8ce24123617faf, Andrew Morton placed preempt_disable around the entire delay due to TSC's not working nicely on SMP. Unfortunately for those that care about latencies this is devastating! Especially when we have callers to mdelay(8). Here I enable preemption during the loop and account for anytime the task migrates to a new CPU. The delay asked for may be extended a bit by the migration, but delay only guarantees that it will delay for that minimum time. Delaying longer should not be an issue. [ Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for spotting that cpu wasn't updated, and to place the rep_nop between preempt_enabled/disable. ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Cc: akpm@osdl.org Cc: Clark Williams <clark.williams@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: "Luis Claudio R.

2008-05-13x86: fix csum_partial() exportIngo Molnar
Fix this symbol export problem: Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 193 modules ERROR: "csum_partial" [fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko] undefined! make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1 make: *** [modules] Error 2 This is due to a known weakness of symbol exports: if a symbol's only in-core user is an EXPORT_SYMBOL from a lib-y section, the symbol is not linked in. The solution is to move the export to x8664_ksyms_64.c - but the real solution would be to fix kbuild. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-04-26x86: change x86 to use generic find_next_bitAlexander van Heukelum
The versions with inline assembly are in fact slower on the machines I tested them on (in userspace) (Athlon XP 2800+, p4-like Xeon 2.8GHz, AMD Opteron 270). The i386-version needed a fix similar to 06024f21 to avoid crashing the benchmark. Benchmark using: gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -Os. For each bitmap size 1...512, for each possible bitmap with one bit set, for each possible offset: find the position of the first bit starting at offset. If you follow ;). Times include setup of the bitmap and checking of the results. Athlon Xeon Opteron 32/64bit x86-specific: 0m3.692s 0m2.820s 0m3.196s / 0m2.480s generic: 0m2.622s 0m1.662s 0m2.100s / 0m1.572s If the bitmap size is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, and no set (cleared) bit is found, find_next_bit (find_next_zero_bit) returns a value outside of the range [0, size]. The generic version always returns exactly size. The generic version also uses unsigned long everywhere, while the x86 versions use a mishmash of int, unsigned (int), long and unsigned long. Using the generic version does give a slightly bigger kernel, though. defconfig: text data bss dec hex filename x86-specific: 4738555 481232 626688 5846475 5935cb vmlinux (32 bit) generic: 4738621 481232 626688 5846541 59360d vmlinux (32 bit) x86-specific: 5392395 846568 724424 6963387 6a40bb vmlinux (64 bit) generic: 5392458 846568 724424 6963450 6a40fa vmlinux (64 bit) Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Manually fix trivial conflict with task pid container helper changes in arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c
2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

2007-10-19x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu arrayMike Travis
cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus. When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes 3,145,728 bytes. These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo(). cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP case.

2007-10-17x86: rename .i assembler includes to .hAdrian Bunk
.i is an ending used for preprocessed stuff. This patch therefore renames assembler include files to .h and guards the contents with an #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__.

2007-10-17i386: Remove strrchr assembler implementationAndi Kleen
The constraints in the inline assembler implementation of i386 strrchr() were incorrect and break the build with recent gcc 4.3. Since there are only very few callers of strrchr() and none of them are performance relevant just remove the assembler implementation and use the C fallback instead.

2007-10-12x86: fence oostores on 64-bitNick Piggin
movnt* instructions are not strongly ordered with respect to other stores, so if we are to assume stores are strongly ordered in the rest of the 64 bit code, we must fence these off (see similar examples in 32 bit code). [ The AMD memory ordering document seems to say that nontemporal stores can also pass earlier regular stores, so maybe we need sfences _before_ movnt* everywhere too? ] Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
