2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, remove #ifdef from fault_in_kernel_space()Ingo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Removal of an #ifdef in fault_in_kernel_space(), by making use of the new TASK_SIZE_MAX symbol which is now available on 32-bit too. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-21x86, mm: rename TASK_SIZE64 => TASK_SIZE_MAXIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Rename TASK_SIZE64 to TASK_SIZE_MAX, and provide the define on 32-bit too. (mapped to TASK_SIZE) This allows 32-bit code to make use of the (former-) TASK_SIZE64 symbol as well, in a clean way. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, remove #ifdef from do_page_fault()Ingo Molnar
Impact: cleanup do_page_fault() has this ugly #ifdef in its prototype: #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64 asmlinkage #endif void __kprobes do_page_fault(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long error_code) Replace it with 'dotraplinkage' which maps to exactly the above construct: nothing on 32-bit and asmlinkage on 64-bit. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops handlingIngo Molnar
Impact: add oops-recursion check to 32-bit Unify the oops state-machine, to the 64-bit version. It is slightly more careful in that it does a recursion check in oops_begin(), and is thus more likely to show the relevant oops. It also means that 32-bit will print one more line at the end of pagefault triggered oopses: printk(KERN_EMERG "CR2: %016lx\n", address); Which is generally good information to be seen in partial-dump digital-camera jpegs ;-) The downside is the somewhat more complex critical path. Both variants have been tested well meanwhile by kernel developers crashing their boxes so i dont think this is a practical worry. This removes 3 ugly #ifdefs from no_context() and makes the function a lot nicer read. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops printingIngo Molnar
Impact: refine/extend page fault related oops printing on 64-bit - honor the pause_on_oops logic on 64-bit too - print out NX fault warnings on 64-bit as well - factor out the NX fault message to make it git-greppable and readable Note that this means that we do the PF_INSTR check on 32-bit non-PAE as well where it should not occur ... normally. Cannot hurt. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, reorder functionsIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Avoid a couple more #ifdefs by moving fundamentally non-unifiable functions into a single #ifdef 32-bit / #else / #endif block in fault.c: vmalloc*(), dump_pagetable(), check_vm8086_mode(). No code changed: text data bss dec hex filename 4618 32 24 4674 1242 fault.o.before 4618 32 24 4674 1242 fault.o.after Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-21x86, mm, kprobes: fault.c, simplify notify_page_fault()Ingo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Remove an #ifdef from notify_page_fault(). The function still compiles to nothing in the !CONFIG_KPROBES case. Introduce kprobes_built_in() and kprobe_fault_handler() helpers to allow this - they returns 0 if !CONFIG_KPROBES. No code changed: text data bss dec hex filename 4618 32 24 4674 1242 fault.o.before 4618 32 24 4674 1242 fault.o.after Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, simplify kmmio_fault()Ingo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Remove an #ifdef from kmmio_fault() - we can do this by providing default implementations for is_kmmio_active() and kmmio_handler(). The compiler optimizes it all away in the !CONFIG_MMIOTRACE case. Also, while at it, clean up mmiotrace.h a bit: - standard header guards - standard vertical spaces for structure definitions No code changed (both with mmiotrace on and off in the config): text data bss dec hex filename 2947 12 12 2971 b9b fault.o.before 2947 12 12 2971 b9b fault.o.after Cc: Pekka Paalanen <pq@iki.fi> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, enable PF_RSVD checks on 32-bit tooIngo Molnar
Impact: improve page fault handling robustness The 'PF_RSVD' flag (bit 3) of the page-fault error_code is a relatively recent addition to x86 CPUs, so the 32-bit do_fault() implementation never had it. This flag gets set when the CPU detects nonzero values in any reserved bits of the page directory entries. Extend the existing 64-bit check for PF_RSVD in do_page_fault() to 32-bit too. If we detect such a fault then we print a more informative oops and the pagetables. This unifies the code some more, removes an ugly #ifdef and improves the 32-bit page fault code robustness a bit. It slightly increases the 32-bit kernel text size. Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, factor out the vm86 fault checkIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Instead of an ugly, open-coded, #ifdef-ed vm86 related legacy check in do_page_fault(), put it into the check_v8086_mode() helper function and merge it with an existing #ifdef. Also, simplify the code flow a tiny bit in the helper. No code changed: arch/x86/mm/fault.o: text data bss dec hex filename 2711 12 12 2735 aaf fault.o.before 2711 12 12 2735 aaf fault.o.after Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c, refactor/simplify the is_prefetch() codeIngo Molnar
Impact: no functionality changed Factor out the opcode checker into a helper inline. The code got a tiny bit smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 4632 32 24 4688 1250 fault.o.before 4618 32 24 4674 1242 fault.o.after And it got cleaner / easier to review as well.

2009-02-21x86, mm: fault.c cleanupIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup, no code changed Clean up various small details, which can be correctness checked automatically: - tidy up the include file section - eliminate unnecessary includes - introduce show_signal_msg() to clean up code flow - standardize the code flow - standardize comments and other style details - more cleanups, pointed out by checkpatch No code changed on either 32-bit nor 64-bit: arch/x86/mm/fault.o: text data bss dec hex filename 4632 32 24 4688 1250 fault.o.before 4632 32 24 4688 1250 fault.o.after the md5 changed due to a change in a single instruction: 2e8a8241e7f0d69706776a5a26c90bc0 fault.o.before.asm c5c3d36e725586eb74f0e10692f0193e fault.o.after.asm Because a __LINE__ reference in a WARN_ONCE() has changed.

2009-02-20x86, pat: add large-PAT check to split_large_page()Ingo Molnar
Impact: future-proof the split_large_page() function Linus noticed that split_large_page() is not safe wrt. the PAT bit: it is bit 12 on the 1GB and 2MB page table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE), and it is bit 7 on the 4K page table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT). Currently it is not a problem because we never set _PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE on any of the large-page mappings - but should this happen in the future the split_large_page() would silently lift bit 12 into the lowlevel 4K pte and would start corrupting the physical page frame offset. Not fun. So add a debug warning, to make sure if something ever sets the PAT bit then this function gets updated too.

2009-02-20x86: check PMD in spurious_fault handlerSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on bad PMD permissions If the PMD does not have the correct permissions for a page access, but the PTE does, the spurious fault handler will mistake the fault as a lazy TLB transaction. This will result in an infinite loop of: fault -> spurious_fault check (pass) -> return to code -> fault This patch adds a check and a warn on if the PTE passes the permissions but the PMD does not.

2009-02-20x86: use the right protections for split-up pagetablesIngo Molnar
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. ] Reported-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reported-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-02-18mm: clean up for early_pfn_to_nid()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
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.

2009-02-17[ARM] 5401/1: Orion: fix edge triggered GPIO interrupt supportNicolas Pitre
The GPIO interrupts can be configured as either level triggered or edge triggered, with a default of level triggered. When an edge triggered interrupt is requested, the gpio_irq_set_type method is called which currently switches the given IRQ descriptor between two struct irq_chip instances: orion_gpio_irq_level_chip and orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip. This happens via __setup_irq() which also calls irq_chip_set_defaults() to assign default methods to uninitialized ones. The problem is that irq_chip_set_defaults() is called before the irq_chip reference is switched, leaving the new irq_chip (orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip in this case) with uninitialized methods such as chip->startup() causing a kernel oops. Many solutions are possible, such as making irq_chip_set_defaults() global and calling it from gpio_irq_set_type(), or calling __irq_set_trigger() before irq_chip_set_defaults() in __setup_irq(). But those require modifications to the generic IRQ code which might have adverse effect on other architectures, and that would still be a fragile arrangement. Manually copying the missing methods from within gpio_irq_set_type() would be really ugly and it would break again the day new methods with automatic defaults are added. A better solution is to have a single irq_chip instance which can deal with both edge and level triggered interrupts. It is also a good idea to switch the IRQ handler instead, as the edge IRQ handler allows for one edge IRQ event to be queued as the IRQ is actually masked only when that second IRQ is received, at which point the hardware can queue an additional IRQ event, making edge triggered interrupts a bit more reliable.

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.

2009-02-17x86: truncate ISA addresses to unsigned intH. Peter Anvin
Impact: Cleanup; fix inappropriate macro use ISA addresses on x86 are mapped 1:1 with the physical address space. Since the ISA address space is only 24 bits (32 for VLB or LPC) it will always fit in an unsigned int, and at least in the aha1542 driver using a wider type would cause an undesirable promotion. Hence explicitly cast the ISA bus addresses to unsigned int. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@hansenpartnership.com>
