Impact: fix stuck NMIs and non-working oprofile on certain CPUs
Resetting the counter width of the performance counters on Intel's
Core2 CPUs, breaks the delivery of NMIs, when running in x86_64 mode.
This should fix bug #12395:

Impact: fix failed EFI bootup in certain circumstances
Ying Huang found init_memory_mapping() has problem with small ranges
less than 2M when he tried to direct map the EFI runtime code out of
max_low_pfn_mapped.
It turns out we never considered that case and didn't check the range...

fix warning in io_mapping_map_wc()
x86: i915 needs pgprot_writecombine() and is_io_mapping_possible()
|

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.

There was a theoretical possibility to a race between arming a page in
post_kmmio_handler() and disarming the page in
release_kmmio_fault_page():
cpu0 cpu1
------------------------------------------------------------------
mmiotrace shutdown
enter release_kmmio_fault_page
fault on the page
disarm the page
disarm the page
handle the MMIO access
re-arm the page
put the page on release list
remove_kmmio_fault_pages()
fault on the page
page not known to mmiotrace
fall back to do_page_fault()
*KABOOM*
(This scenario also shows the double disarm case which is allowed.)
Fixed by acquiring kmmio_lock in post_kmmio_handler() and checking
if the page is being released from mmiotrace.

Blindly setting _PAGE_PRESENT in disarm_kmmio_fault_page() overlooks the
possibility, that the page was not present when it was armed.
Make arm_kmmio_fault_page() store the previous page presence in struct
kmmio_fault_page and use it on disarm.

Print a full warning once, if arming or disarming a page fails.
Also, if initial arming fails, do not handle the page further. This
avoids the possibility of a page failing to arm and then later claiming
to have handled any fault on that page.

Apparently pages far into an ioremapped region might not actually be
mapped during ioremap(). Add an optional read test to try to trigger a
multiply faulting MMIO access. Also add more messages to the kernel log
to help debugging.

Stuart Bennett <stuart@freedesktop.org>
who discovered bugs in mmiotrace related to normal kernel space faults.

io_mapping_create_wc should take a resource_size_t parameter in place of
unsigned long. With unsigned long, there will be no way to map greater than 4GB
address in i386/32 bit.
On x86, greater than 4GB addresses cannot be mapped on i386 without PAE. Return
error for such a case.
Patch also adds a structure for io_mapping, that saves the base, size and
type on HAVE_ATOMIC_IOMAP archs, that can be used to verify the offset on
io_mapping_map calls.

This was changed to a physmap_t giving a clashing symbol redefinition,
but actually using a physmap_t consumes rather a lot of space on x86,
so stick with a private copy renamed with a voyager_ prefix and made
static. Nothing outside of the Voyager code uses it, anyway.

Right now nobody cares, but the suspend/resume code will eventually want
to suspend device interrupts without suspending the timer, and will
depend on this flag to know.
The modern x86 timer infrastructure uses the local APIC timers and never
shows up as a device interrupt at all, so it isn't affected and doesn't
need any of this.

As acpi_enter_sleep_state can fail, take this into account in
do_suspend_lowlevel and don't return to the do_suspend_lowlevel's
caller. This would break (currently) fpu status and preempt count.
Technically, this means use `call' instead of `jmp' and `jmp' to
the `resume_point' after the `call' (i.e. if
acpi_enter_sleep_state returns=fails). `resume_point' will handle
the restore of fpu and preempt count gracefully.

Impact: Bug fix on UP
Checkin 6ec68bff3c81e776a455f6aca95c8c5f1d630198:
x86, mce: reinitialize per cpu features on resume
introduced a call to mce_cpu_features() in the resume path, in order
for the MCE machinery to get properly reinitialized after a resume.
However, this function (and its successors) was flagged __cpuinit,
which becomes __init on UP configurations (on SMP suspend/resume
requires CPU hotplug and so this would not be seen.)
Remove the offending __cpuinit annotations for mce_cpu_features() and
its successor functions.

Steven Rostedt found a bug in where in his modified kernel
ftrace was unable to modify the kernel text, due to the PMD
itself having been marked read-only as well in
split_large_page().
The fix, suggested by Linus, is to not try to 'clone' the
reference protection of a huge-page, but to use the standard
(and permissive) page protection bits of KERNPG_TABLE.
The 'cloning' makes sense for the ptes but it's a confused and
incorrect concept at the page table level - because the
pagetable entry is a set of all ptes and hence cannot
'clone' any single protection attribute - the ptes can be any
mixture of protections.
With the permissive KERNPG_TABLE, even if the pte protections
get changed after this point (due to ftrace doing code-patching
or other similar activities like kprobes), the resulting combined
protections will still be correct and the pte's restrictive
(or permissive) protections will control it.
Also update the comment.
This bug was there for a long time but has not caused visible
problems before as it needs a rather large read-only area to
trigger. Steve possibly hacked his kernel with some really
large arrays or so. Anyway, the bug is definitely worth fixing.
[ Huang Ying also experienced problems in this area when writing
the EFI code, but the real bug in split_large_page() was not
realized back then. ]

What's happening is that the assertion in mm/page_alloc.c:move_freepages()
is triggering:
BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));
Once I knew this is what was happening, I added some annotations:
if (unlikely(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page))) {
printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: Bogus zones: "
"start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n",
start_page, end_page, zone);
printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
"start_zone[%p] end_zone[%p]\n",
page_zone(start_page), page_zone(end_page));
printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
"start_pfn[0x%lx] end_pfn[0x%lx]\n",
page_to_pfn(start_page), page_to_pfn(end_page));
printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
"start_nid[%d] end_nid[%d]\n",
page_to_nid(start_page), page_to_nid(end_page));
...
And here's what I got:
move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00]
move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00]
move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff]
move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0]
My memory layout on this box is:
[ 0.000000] Zone PFN ranges:
[ 0.000000] Normal 0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d
[ 0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node
[ 0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges
[ 0.000000] 0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d
So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers
the problem.
This patch:
Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include
files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used.
I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy.
This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h
After this,
if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
-> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h
else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
-> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c
else
-> per-arch back end function will be called.

Shows rcu_check_callbacks() being invoked way too often. It should be called
once per jiffy, and here it is called no less than 22 times in about
3.5 milliseconds, meaning one call every 160 microseconds or so.
Why do we need to call rcu_pending() and rcu_check_callbacks() from the
idle loop of 32-bit x86, especially given that no other architecture does
this?
The following patch removes the call to rcu_pending() and
rcu_check_callbacks() from the x86 32-bit idle loop in order to
reduce the softirq load on idle systems.

Impact: fix powernow-k8 when acpi=off (or other error).
There was a spurious change introduced into powernow-k8 in this patch:
so that we try to "restore" the cpus_allowed we never saved. We revert
that file.
See lkml "[PATCH] x86/powernow: fix cpus_allowed brokage when

Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout
This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it
was forgotten.
CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable
directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel
configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64.
Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own
sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there.
Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture
specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by
x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

In the past, kvm_get_kvm() and kvm_put_kvm() was called in assigned device irq
handler and interrupt_work, in order to prevent cancel_work_sync() in
kvm_free_assigned_irq got a illegal state when waiting for interrupt_work done.
But it's tricky and still got two problems:
1. A bug ignored two conditions that cancel_work_sync() would return true result
in a additional kvm_put_kvm().
2. If interrupt type is MSI, we would got a window between cancel_work_sync()
and free_irq(), which interrupt would be injected again...
This patch discard the reference count used for irq handler and interrupt_work,
and ensure the legal state by moving the free function at the very beginning of
kvm_destroy_vm(). And the patch fix the second bug by disable irq before
cancel_work_sync(), which may result in nested disable of irq but OK for we are
going to free it.

contemporary with VM destroy process, like IRQ handler and work struct for

the state of KVM here is legal and can provide a environment to quiet down other

Commit e51a1ac2dfca9ad869471e88f828281db7e810c0 ("x86, olpc: fix endian
bug in openfirmware workaround") breaks model comparison on OLPC; the value
0xc2 needs to be scaled up by olpc_board().
The pre-patch version was wrong, but accidentally worked anyway
(big-endian 0xc2 is big enough to satisfy all other board revisions,
but little endian 0xc2 is not).

Between 2.6.23 and 2.6.24-rc1 a change was made that broke IBM LS21
systems that had the HPET enabled in the BIOS, resulting in boot hangs
for x86_64.
Specifically commit b8ce33590687888ebb900d09557b8807c4539022, which
merges the i386 and x86_64 HPET code.
Prior to this commit, when we setup the HPET timers in x86_64, we did
the following:
hpet_writel(HPET_TN_ENABLE | HPET_TN_PERIODIC | HPET_TN_SETVAL |
HPET_TN_32BIT, HPET_T0_CFG);
However after the i386/x86_64 HPET merge, we do the following:
cfg = hpet_readl(HPET_Tn_CFG(timer));
cfg |= HPET_TN_ENABLE | HPET_TN_PERIODIC |
HPET_TN_SETVAL | HPET_TN_32BIT;
hpet_writel(cfg, HPET_Tn_CFG(timer));
However on LS21s with HPET enabled in the BIOS, the HPET_T0_CFG register
boots with Level triggered interrupts (HPET_TN_LEVEL) enabled. This
causes the periodic interrupt to be not so periodic, and that results in
the boot time hang I reported earlier in the delay calibration.
My fix: Always disable HPET_TN_LEVEL when setting up periodic mode.
