[PATCH] i386 CPU hotplug (The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing) The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree. In order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs(). The difference being that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any queued external interrupts on the APICs. There are additional changes to s390 and ppc64 to account for this change. 1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU 2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus. 3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down. 4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus. 5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus. 6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online. 7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside. 8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others(). 9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down. 10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die(). 11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs() 12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus. 13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

x86/dumpstack: Remove kernel text addresses from stack dump Printing kernel text addresses in stack dumps is of questionable value, especially now that address randomization is becoming common. It can be a security issue because it leaks kernel addresses. It also affects the usefulness of the stack dump. Linus says: "I actually spend time cleaning up commit messages in logs, because useless data that isn't actually information (random hex numbers) is actively detrimental. It makes commit logs less legible. It also makes it harder to parse dumps. It's not useful. That makes it actively bad. I probably look at more oops reports than most people. I have not found the hex numbers useful for the last five years, because they are just randomized crap. The stack content thing just makes code scroll off the screen etc, for example." The only real downside to removing these addresses is that they can be used to disambiguate duplicate symbol names. However such cases are rare, and the context of the stack dump should be enough to be able to figure it out. There's now a 'faddr2line' script which can be used to convert a function address to a file name and line: $ ./scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60 write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60: write_sysrq_trigger at drivers/tty/sysrq.c:1098 Or gdb can be used: $ echo "list *write_sysrq_trigger+0x51" |gdb ~/k/vmlinux |grep "is in" (gdb) 0xffffffff815b5d83 is in driver_probe_device (/home/jpoimboe/git/linux/drivers/base/dd.c:378). (But note that when there are duplicate symbol names, gdb will only show the first symbol it finds. faddr2line is recommended over gdb because it handles duplicates and it also does function size checking.) Here's an example of what a stack dump looks like after this change: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: sysrq_handle_crash+0x45/0x80 PGD 36bfa067 [ 29.650644] PUD 7aca3067 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: ...

[PATCH] x86 stack initialisation fix The recent change fix-crash-in-entrys-restore_all.patch childregs->esp = esp; p->thread.esp = (unsigned long) childregs; - p->thread.esp0 = (unsigned long) (childregs+1); + p->thread.esp0 = (unsigned long) (childregs+1) - 8; p->thread.eip = (unsigned long) ret_from_fork; introduces an inconsistency between esp and esp0 before the task is run the first time. esp0 is no longer the actual start of the stack, but 8 bytes off. This shows itself clearly in a scenario when a ptracer that is set to also ptrace eventual children traces program1 which then clones thread1. Now the ptracer wants to modify the registers of thread1. The x86 ptrace implementation bases it's knowledge about saved user-space registers upon p->thread.esp0. But this will be a few bytes off causing certain writes to the kernel stack to overwrite a saved kernel function address making the kernel when actually running thread1 jump out into user-space. Very spectacular. The testcase I've used is: /* start with strace -f ./a.out */ #include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> void *do_thread(void *p) { for (;;); } int main() { pthread_t one; pthread_create(&one, NULL, &do_thread, NULL); for (;;); return 0; } So, my solution is to instead of just adjusting esp0 that creates an inconsitent state I adjust where the user-space registers are saved with -8 bytes. This gives us the wanted extra bytes on the start of the stack and esp0 is now correct. This solves the issues I saw from the original testcase from Mateusz Berezecki and has survived testing here. I think this should go into -mm a round or two first however as there might be some cruft around depending on pt_regs lying on the start of the stack. That however would have broken with the first change too! It's actually a 2-line diff but I had to move the comment of why the -8 bytes are there a few lines up. Thanks to Zwane for helping me with this. Signed-off-by: Alexander Nyberg <alexn@telia.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of perf events instances. Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc.. The new layering is now made as follows: ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall \ | / / \ | / / / Core breakpoint API / / | / | / Breakpoints perf events | | Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling (Part of core breakpoint API) | | Hardware debug registers Reasons of this rewrite: - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling, implying an easier arch integration - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...) Impact: - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per thread breakpoints references. Todo (in the order): - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement perf_bpcounter_event()) - Support from perf tools Changes in v2: - Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch Changes in v3: - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. Changes in v4: - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) Changes in v5: - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up address registers. - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c Changes in v6: - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

[PATCH] seccomp: tsc disable I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for HT but for the L2 cache too. So it's up to you, either you turn it off completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below patch. This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;). People selling the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind. There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied (gettimeofday is forbidden of course). The seccomp environment is completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3 seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished). Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the same time. Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't per-cpu-safe. The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race. So no need to disable irqs in switch_to slow path. Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@cpushare.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

i387: re-introduce FPU state preloading at context switch time After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870ef3ff ("i387: do not preload FPU state at task switch time"). However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements preloading with several fixes, most notably - properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as open-coded save and restore with various hacks. In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for no good reason. - Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the way they save and restore segment state differently due to architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state. - Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines, and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit. That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use 'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the state saving also trashes the state. In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving, rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to follow as a result.
