In drivers/acpi/acpica/tbutils.c, we've improved the early table loading code in acpi_tb_parse_root_table(). We now need 2 mapping entries: 1. One mapping entry is used for RSDT table mapping. Each RSDT entry contains an address for another ACPI table. 2. For each entry in RSDP, we need another mapping entry to map the table to perform necessary check/override before installing it. When acpi_tb_parse_root_table() prints something through EFI earlyprintk console, we'll have 4 mapping entries used. The current 4 slots setting of early_ioremap() seems to be too small for such a use case. """ Thus increase the slot to 8 in this patch to fix this issue. boot-time mappings become 512 page with this patch. Signed-off-by:

Maarten reported that his Macbook pro 8.2 stopped booting after commit f23cf8bd ("efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>"), the main feature of which is changing the visibility of symbol 'efi_early' from local to global. By making 'efi_early' global we end up requiring an entry in the Global Offset Table. Unfortunately, while we do include code to fixup GOT entries in the early boot code, it's only called after we've executed the EFI boot stub. What this amounts to is that references to 'efi_early' in the EFI boot stub don't point to the correct place. Since we've got multiple boot entry points we need to be prepared to fixup the GOT in multiple places, while ensuring that we never do it more than once, otherwise the GOT entries will still point to the wrong place.

Mantas found that after commit 4bf7111f ("x86/efi: Support initrd loaded above 4G"), the kernel freezes at the earliest possible moment when trying to boot via UEFI on Asus laptop. Revert to old way to load initrd under 4G on first try, second try will use above 4G buffer when initrd is too big and does not fit under 4G. [ The cause of the freeze appears to be a firmware bug when reading file data into buffers above 4GB, though the exact reason is unknown. Mantas reports that the hang can be avoid if the file size is a multiple of 512 bytes, but I've seen some ASUS firmware simply corrupting the file data rather than freezing. Laszlo fixed an issue in the upstream EDK2 DiskIO code in Aug 2013 which may possibly be related, commit 4e39b75e ("MdeModulePkg/DiskIoDxe: fix source/destination pointer of overrun transfer").

Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards. Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while. I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used. This new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other arches had to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction of new config option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches. Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I had CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that. For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to "depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is not recursive. Signed-off-by:

Sasha Levin has shown oopses on ffffea0003480048 and ffffea0003480008 at mm/memory.c:1132, running Trinity on different 3.16-rc-next kernels: where zap_pte_range() checks page->mapping to see if PageAnon(page). Those addresses fit struct pages for pfns d2001 and d2000, and in each dump a register or a stack slot showed d2001730 or d2000730: pte flags 0x730 are PCD ACCESSED PROTNONE SPECIAL IOMAP; and Sasha's e820 map has a hole between cfffffff and 100000000, which would need special access. Commit c46a7c81 ("x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the PMD and PTE levels") has broken vm_normal_page(): a PROTNONE SPECIAL pte no longer passes the pte_special() test, so zap_pte_range() goes on to try to access a non-existent struct page. Fix this by refining pte_special() (SPECIAL with PRESENT or PROTNONE) to complement pte_numa() (SPECIAL with neither PRESENT nor PROTNONE). A hint that this was a problem was that c46a7c81 added pte_numa() test to vm_normal_page(), and moved its is_zero_pfn() test from slow to fast path: This was papering over a pte_special() snag when the zero page was encountered during zap. This patch reverts vm_normal_page() to how it was before, relying on pte_special(). It still appears that this patch may be incomplete: aren't there other places which need to be handling PROTNONE along with PRESENT? For example, pte_mknuma() clears _PAGE_PRESENT and sets _PAGE_NUMA, but on a PROT_NONE area, that would make it pte_special(). This is side-stepped by the fact that NUMA hinting faults skipped PROT_NONE VMAs and there are no grounds where a NUMA hinting fault on a PROT_NONE VMA would be interesting.

Commit 15a3c7cc "x86, irq: Introduce two helper functions to support irqdomain map operation" breaks LPSS ACPI enumerated devices. On startup, IOAPIC driver preallocates IRQ descriptors and programs IOAPIC pins with default level and polarity attributes for all legacy IRQs. Later legacy IRQ users may fail to set IOAPIC pin attributes if the requested attributes conflicts with the default IOAPIC pin attributes. So change mp_irqdomain_map() to allow the first legacy IRQ user to reprogram IOAPIC pin with different attributes. Reported-and-tested-by:

Upstream commit: 95d76acc ("x86, irq: Count legacy IRQs by legacy_pic->nr_legacy_irqs instead of NR_IRQS_LEGACY") removed reserved interrupts for the platforms that do not have a legacy IOAPIC. Which breaks the boot on Intel MID platforms such as Medfield: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000003a IP: [<c107079a>] setup_irq+0xf/0x4d [ 0.000000] *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 9bbf32453167e510 The culprit is an uncoditional setting of IRQ2 which is used as cascade IRQ on legacy platforms. It seems we have to check if we have enough legacy IRQs reserved before we can call setup_irq(). The fix adds such check in native_init_IRQ() and in setup_default_timer_irq(). Signed-off-by:

If the timer irqs are resumed during device resume it is possible in certain circumstances for the resume to hang early on, before device interrupts are resumed. For an Ubuntu 14.04 PVHVM guest this would occur in ~0.5% of resume attempts. It is not entirely clear what is occuring the point of the hang but I think a task necessary for the resume calls schedule_timeout(), waiting for a timer interrupt (which never arrives). This failure may require specific tasks to be running on the other VCPUs to trigger (processes are not frozen during a suspend/resume if PREEMPT is disabled). Add IRQF_EARLY_RESUME to the timer interrupts so they are resumed in syscore_resume(). Signed-off-by:

This is the final piece of the puzzle of verifying kernel image signature during kexec_file_load() syscall. This patch calls into PE file routines to verify signature of bzImage. If signature are valid, kexec_file_load() succeeds otherwise it fails. Two new config options have been introduced. First one is CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG. This option enforces that kernel has to be validly signed otherwise kernel load will fail. If this option is not set, no signature verification will be done. Only exception will be when secureboot is enabled. In that case signature verification should be automatically enforced when secureboot is enabled. But that will happen when secureboot patches are merged. Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG. This option enables signature verification support on bzImage. If this option is not set and previous one is set, kernel image loading will fail because kernel does not have support to verify signature of bzImage. I tested these patches with both "pesign" and "sbsign" signed bzImages. I used signing_key.priv key and signing_key.x509 cert for signing as generated during kernel build process (if module signing is enabled). Used following method to sign bzImage. pesign ====== - Convert DER format cert to PEM format cert openssl x509 -in signing_key.x509 -inform DER -out signing_key.x509.PEM -outform PEM - Generate a .p12 file from existing cert and private key file openssl pkcs12 -export -out kernel-key.p12 -inkey signing_key.priv -in signing_key.x509.PEM - Import .p12 file into pesign db pk12util -i /tmp/kernel-key.p12 -d /etc/pki/pesign - Sign bzImage pesign -i /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+ -o /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.pesign -c "Glacier signing key - Magrathea" -s sbsign ====== sbsign --key signing_key.priv --cert signing_key.x509.PEM --output /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.sbsign /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+ Patch details: Well all the hard work is done in previous patches. Now bzImage loader has just call into that code and verify whether bzImage signature are valid or not. Also create two config options. First one is CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG. This option enforces that kernel has to be validly signed otherwise kernel load will fail. If this option is not set, no signature verification will be done. Only exception will be when secureboot is enabled. In that case signature verification should be automatically enforced when secureboot is enabled.

This patch does two things. It passes EFI run time mappings to second kernel in bootparams efi_info. Second kernel parse this info and create new mappings in second kernel. That means mappings in first and second kernel will be same. This paves the way to enable EFI in kexec kernel. This patch also prepares and passes EFI setup data through bootparams. This contains bunch of information about various tables and their addresses. These information gathering and passing has been written along the lines of what current kexec-tools is doing to make kexec work with UEFI.

Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two kernels. This name, concept and some code has been taken from kexec-tools. Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in minimal environment. So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code. This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various segments which have been loaded into memory. So first we verify that the kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make progress only if checsums are verified. This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region. [sfr@canb.auug.org.au: run host built programs from objtree] Signed-off-by:

Next two patches provide code for purgatory. This is a code which does not link against the kernel and runs stand alone. This code runs between two kernels. One of the primary purpose of this code is to verify the digest of newly loaded kernel and making sure it matches the digest computed at kernel load time. We use sha256 for calculating digest of kexec segmetns. Purgatory can't use stanard crypto API as that API is not available in purgatory context. Hence, I have copied code from crypto/sha256_generic.c and compiled it with purgaotry code so that it could be used. I could not #include sha256_generic.c file here as some of the function signature requiered little tweaking. Original functions work with crypto API but these ones don't So instead of doing #include on sha256_generic.c I just copied relevant portions of code into arch/x86/purgatory/sha256.c. Now we shouldn't have to touch this code at all. Do let me know if there are better ways to handle it. This patch does not enable compiling of this code. That happens in next patch. I wanted to highlight this change in a separate patch for easy review. Signed-off-by:

Previous patch provided the interface definition and this patch prvides implementation of new syscall. Previously segment list was prepared in user space. Now user space just passes kernel fd, initrd fd and command line and kernel will create a segment list internally. This patch contains generic part of the code. Actual segment preparation and loading is done by arch and image specific loader. Which comes in next patch. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

This is the new syscall kexec_file_load() declaration/interface. I have reserved the syscall number only for x86_64 so far. Other architectures (including i386) can reserve syscall number when they enable the support for this new syscall. Signed-off-by:

currently bin2c builds only if CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y. But bin2c will now be used by kexec too. So make it compilation dependent on CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C and this config option can be selected by CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_IKCONFIG. Signed-off-by:

memfd_create() is similar to mmap(MAP_ANON), but returns a file-descriptor that you can pass to mmap(). It can support sealing and avoids any connection to user-visible mount-points. Thus, it's not subject to quotas on mounted file-systems, but can be used like malloc()'ed memory, but with a file-descriptor to it. memfd_create() returns the raw shmem file, so calls like ftruncate() can be used to modify the underlying inode. Also calls like fstat() will return proper information and mark the file as regular file. If you want sealing, you can specify MFD_ALLOW_SEALING. Otherwise, sealing is not supported (like on all other regular files). Compared to O_TMPFILE, it does not require a tmpfs mount-point and is not subject to a filesystem size limit. It is still properly accounted to memcg limits, though, and to the same overcommit or no-overcommit accounting as all user memory. Signed-off-by:

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if !defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR). This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML, and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations. This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64. This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

Rather than have architectures #define ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN in an architecture specific scatterlist.h, make it a proper Kconfig option and use that instead. At same time, remove the header files are are now mostly useless and just include asm-generic/scatterlist.h. [sfr@canb.auug.org.au: powerpc files now need asm/dma.h] Signed-off-by:

Now IOAPIC driver dynamically allocates IRQ numbers for IOAPIC pins. We need to keep IRQ assignment for PCI devices during suspend/hibernation, otherwise it may cause failure of suspend/hibernation due to: 1) Device driver calls pci_enable_device() to allocate an IRQ number and register interrupt handler on the returned IRQ. 2) Device driver's suspend callback calls pci_disable_device() and release assigned IRQ in turn. 3) Device driver's resume callback calls pci_enable_device() to allocate IRQ number again. A different IRQ number may be assigned by IOAPIC driver this time. 4) Now the hardware delivers interrupt to the new IRQ but interrupt handler is still registered against the old IRQ, so it breaks suspend/hibernation. To fix this issue, we keep IRQ assignment during suspend/hibernation. Flag pci_dev.dev.power.is_prepared is used to detect that pci_disable_device() is called during suspend/hibernation.

Dave Jones reported seeing a bug from one of my TLB tracepoints: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140806181801.GA4605@redhat.com According to Paul McKenney, the right way to fix this is adding an _rcuidle suffix to the tracepoint. http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140807065055.GA5821@linux.vnet.ibm.com This patch does just that.
