Denys Fedoryshchenko reported a bootup crash when he upgraded
his system from 3GB to 4GB RAM:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/7/9
the bug is due to HIGHMEM4G && SPARSEMEM kernels making pfn_to_page()
to return an invalid pointer when the pfn is in a memory hole. The
256 MB PCI aperture at the end of RAM was not mapped by sparsemem,
and hence the pfn was not valid. But set_highmem_pages_init() iterated
this range without checking the pfn's validity first.
this bug was probably present in the sparsemem code ever since sparsemem
has been introduced in v2.6.13. It was masked due to HIGHMEM64G using
larger memory regions in sparsemem_32.h:
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE
#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 30
#define MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS 36
#define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS 36
#else
#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 26
#define MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS 32
#define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS 32
#endif
which creates 1GB sparsemem regions instead of 64MB sparsemem regions.
So in practice we only ever created true sparsemem holes on x86 with
HIGHMEM4G - but that was rarely used by distros.
( btw., we could probably save 2MB of mem_map[]s on X86_PAE if we reduced
the sparsemem region size to 256 MB. )

Sometimes cpu_idle_wait gets stuck because it might miss CPUS that are
already in idle, have no tasks waiting to run and have no interrupts going
to them. This is common on bootup when switching cpu idle governors.
This patch gives those CPUS that don't check in an IPI kick.
Background:
-----------
I notice this while developing the mcount patches, that every once in a
while the system would hang. Looking deeper, the hang was always at boot
up when registering init_menu of the cpu_idle menu governor. Talking
with Thomas Gliexner, we discovered that one of the CPUS had no timer
events scheduled for it and it was in idle (running with NO_HZ). So the
CPU would not set the cpu_idle_state bit.
Hitting sysrq-t a few times would eventually route the interrupt to the
stuck CPU and the system would continue.
Note, I would have used the PDA isidle but that is set after the
cpu_idle_state bit is cleared, and would leave a window open where we
may miss being kicked.
hmm, looking closer at this, we still have a small race window between
clearing the cpu_idle_state and disabling interrupts (hence the RFC).
CPU0: CPU 1:
--------- ---------
cpu_idle_wait(): cpu_idle():
| __cpu_cpu_var(is_idle) = 1;
| if (__get_cpu_var(cpu_idle_state)) /* == 0 */
per_cpu(cpu_idle_state, 1) = 1; |
if (per_cpu(is_idle, 1)) /* == 1 */ |
smp_call_function(1) |
| receives ipi and runs do_nothing.
wait on map == empty idle();
/* waits forever */
So really we need interrupts off for most of this then. One might think
that we could simply clear the cpu_idle_state from do_nothing, but I'm
assuming that cpu_idle governors can be removed, and this might cause a
race that a governor might be used after the module was removed.
Venki said:
I think your RFC patch is the right solution here. As I see it, there is
no race with your RFC patch. As long as you call a dummy smp_call_function
on all CPUs, we should be OK. We can get rid of cpu_idle_state and the
current wait forever logic altogether with dummy smp_call_function. And so
there wont be any wait forever scenario.
The whole point of cpu_idle_wait() is to make all CPUs come out of idle
loop atleast once. The caller will use cpu_idle_wait something like this.
// Want to change idle handler
- Switch global idle handler to always present default_idle
- call cpu_idle_wait so that all cpus come out of idle for an instant
and stop using old idle pointer and start using default idle
- Change the idle handler to a new handler
- optional cpu_idle_wait if you want all cpus to start using the new
handler immediately.
Maybe the below 1s patch is safe bet for .24. But for .25, I would say we
just replace all complicated logic by simple dummy smp_call_function and
remove cpu_idle_state altogether.

ACPI and APM used "pm_active" to guarantee that
they would not be simultaneously active.
But pm_active was recently moved under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY,
so that without CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, pm_active became a NOP --
allowing ACPI and APM to both be simultaneously enabled.
This caused unpredictable results, including boot hangs.
Further, the code under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY is scheduled
for removal.
So replace pm_active with pm_flags.
pm_flags depends only on CONFIG_PM,
which is present for both CONFIG_APM and CONFIG_ACPI.

After 17d57a9206b4de6ad082ac9f2d2346985abbd2aa ("x86: fix x86-32 early
fixmap initialization.") removing lg.ko caused a printk from vunmap:
mm/memory.c:115: bad pgd 004b3027.
On the second use after module load, the kernel crashes.
This fixes the immediate problem (accessed and dirty bits not set as
expected in pmd_none_or_clear_bad). I can't see why this would cause
a crash, but I haven't been able to reproduce it once this is applied.

As pointed out by Yanmin Zhang, the problem was already fixed
differently (and correctly), and rather than fix anything, it actually
causes us to create a sub-optimal sched-domains hierarchy (not setting
up the domain belonging to the core) when CONFIG_X86_HT=y.

Andrew "Eagle Eye" Morton noticed that we use raw_local_save_flags()
instead of raw_local_irq_save(flags) in die(). This allows the
preemption of oopsing contexts - which is highly undesirable. It also
causes CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT to complain, as reported by Miles Lane.
this bug was introduced via:
commit 39743c9ef717fd4f2b5583f010115c5f2482b8ae
Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Date: Fri Oct 19 20:35:03 2007 +0200
x86: use raw locks during oopses
- spin_lock_irqsave(&die.lock, flags);
+ __raw_spin_lock(&die.lock);
+ raw_local_save_flags(flags);
that is not a correct open-coding of spin_lock_irqsave(): both the
ordering is wrong (irqs should be disabled _first_), and the wrong
flags-saving API was used.

this is the tale of a full day spent debugging an ancient but elusive bug.
after booting up thousands of random .config kernels, i finally happened
to generate a .config that produced the following rare bootup failure
on 32-bit x86:
| ..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
| ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
| ...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ... failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
| ...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... failed :(.
| Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with apic=debug
| and send a report. Then try booting with the 'noapic' option
this bug has been reported many times during the years, but it was never
reproduced nor fixed.
the bug that i hit was extremely sensitive to .config details.
First i did a .config-bisection - suspecting some .config detail.
That led to CONFIG_X86_MCE: enabling X86_MCE magically made the bug disappear
and the system would boot up just fine.
Debugging my way through the MCE code ended up identifying two unlikely
candidates: the thing that made a real difference to the hang was that
X86_MCE did two printks:
Intel machine check architecture supported.
Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#1.
Adding the same printks to a !CONFIG_X86_MCE kernel made the bug go away!
this left timing as the main suspect: i experimented with adding various
udelay()s to the arch/x86/kernel/io_apic_32.c:check_timer() function, and
the race window turned out to be narrower than 30 microseconds (!).
That made debugging especially funny, debugging without having printk
ability before the bug hits is ... interesting ;-)
eventually i started suspecting IRQ activities - those are pretty much the
only thing that happen this early during bootup and have the timescale of
a few dozen microseconds. Also, check_timer() changes the IRQ hardware
in various creative ways, so the main candidate became IRQ0 interaction.
i've added a counter to track timer irqs (on which core they arrived, at
what exact time, etc.) and found that no timer IRQ would arrive after the
bug condition hits - even if we re-enable IRQ0 and re-initialize the i8259A,
but that we'd get a small number of timer irqs right around the time when we
call the check_timer() function.
Eventually i got the following backtrace triggered from debug code in the
timer interrupt:
...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ...

[<c05f5784>] setup_IO_APIC+0x9c3/0xc5c
the spin_unlock() was called from init_8259A(). Wait ... we have an IRQ0
entry while we are in the middle of setting up the local APIC, the i8259A
and the PIT??
That is certainly not how it's supposed to work! check_timer() was supposed
to be called with irqs turned off - but this eroded away sometime in the
past. This code would still work most of the time because this code runs
very quickly, but just the right timing conditions are present and IRQ0
hits in this small, ~30 usecs window, timer irqs stop and the system does
not boot up. Also, given how early this is during bootup, the hang is
very deterministic - but it would only occur on certain machines (and
certain configs).
The fix was quite simple: disable/restore interrupts properly in this
function. With that in place the test-system now boots up just fine.
(64-bit x86 io_apic_64.c had the same bug.)
Phew! One down, only 1500 other kernel bugs are left ;-)

The recent Kconfig changes in x86 resulted in CONFIG_X86_HT no longer
being set if (X86_32 && MK8).
After grep'ing through the tree I think the problem is that different
places have different assumptions about the semantics of CONFIG_X86_HT,
either:
- hyperthreading or

If HPET was enabled by pci quirks, we use i8253 as initial clockevent
because pci quirks doesn't run until pci is initialized.
The above means the kernel (or something) is assuming HPET legacy

If we used kexec, it isn't true. So, this patch disables HPET legacy

Subdividing the paravirt_ops structure caused a regression in certain

Christoph Hellwig objects to this patch on the grounds that modules
shouldn't be using these operations anyway. I don't think this is a
particularly good reason to reject the patch, for several reasons:
1. These operations are still available to modules when not using
CONFIG_PARAVIRT, since they are implicitly exported as inline
functions via the kernel headers. Exporting the same functionality as
GPL-only symbols just adds a gratuitious difference between
CONFIG_PARAVIRT and non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT configurations. If we really
think these operations are not for module use (or non-GPL module use),
then we should solve the problem in a general way.
2. It's a regression from previous kernels, which would work these
modules even with CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled.
3. The operations in question seem pretty reasonable for modules to
use. The control registers/MSRs can be accessed directly anyway, so there's
no benefit in preventing modules from using standard interfaces. And it seems
reasonable to allow a graphics driver to create its own mappings if it wants.
Therefore, I think this patch should go in for 2.6.24. If people
really think that these operations should not be available to modules,
then we can address that separately.

_PAGE_PCD maps a page with caching disabled, which is typically used for
mapping harware registers. Xen never allows it to be set on a mapping, and
unprivileged guests never need it since they can't see the real underlying
hardware. However, some uncached mappings are made early when probing the
(non-existent) APIC, and its OK to mask off the PCD flag in these cases.
This became necessary because Xen started checking for this bit, rather
than silently masking it off.

In order to work around old LILO versions providing an invalid ss
register, the current setup code always sets up a new stack,
immediately following .bss and the heap. But this breaks LOADLIN.
This rewrite of the workaround checks for an invalid stack (ss!=ds)
first, and leaves ss:sp alone otherwise (apart from aligning esp).
[hpa note: LOADLIN has a number of arbitrary hard-coded limits that
are being pushed up against. Without some major revision of LOADLIN
itself it will not be sustainable keeping it alive. This gives it
another brief lease on life, however. This patch also helps the
cmdline truncation problem with old versions of SYSLINUX.]

For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system
information is displayed when running the new kernel
$ uname -m
x86
On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information
$ uname -m
x66
This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"
on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit.
This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit
kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86"
won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

warmbloodedcreature@gmail.com reported that an APIC-enabled
Asus a7v8x-x with an Athlon XP reboots early in the bootup:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8723
after a long marathon of spontaneous-reboot debugging, it turns
out to be caused by sync_Arb_ids(). AMD CPUs never really needed
this sequence anyway, so just return early if we meet an AMD CPU.

HP ProLiant systems DL385 G2 and DL585 G2 need pci=bfsort to enumerate PCI
devices in the expected order.
Matt sayeth:
biosdevname is a userspace app I wrote to help solve this so we don't need
to patch the kernel for future systems. It's not integrated into any
distributions properly yet, but is included in openSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8
for people who want to download and install it there. It acts as a udev
helper.
For the time being, patching the kernel is necessary. I really hope
biosdevname eliminates that need in future distributions.

today, all oopses contain a version number of the kernel, which is nice
because the people who actually do bother to read the oops get this
vital bit of information always without having to ask the reporter in
another round trip.
However, WARN_ON() and many other dump_stack() users right now lack this
information; the patch below adds this. This information is essential
for getting people to use their time effectively when looking at these
things; in addition, it's essential for tools that try to collect
statistics about defects.
Please consider, since its so simple and important for long term kernel
quality processes.
The code is identical between 32/64 bit; a lot of this code should be
unified over time, the patch keeps the identical-ness intact.

This may be because buggy SMM firmware messes with the 8259A (configured
for a transparent mode -- yes that rare "local-APIC-edge" mode is tricky
;-) ) insanely.
this should resolve:
