Dmitry Vyukov reported the following using trinity and the memory error detector AddressSanitizer (https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/AddressSanitizerForKernel ). [ 124.575597] ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address ffff88002e280000 [ 124.576801] ffff88002e280000 is located 131938492886538 bytes to the left of 28857600-byte region [ffffffff81282e0a, ffffffff82e0830a) [ 124.578633] Accessed by thread T10915: [ 124.579295] inlined in describe_heap_address ./arch/x86/mm/asan/report.c:164 [ 124.579295] #0 ffffffff810dd277 in asan_report_error ./arch/x86/mm/asan/report.c:278 [ 124.580137] #1 ffffffff810dc6a0 in asan_check_region ./arch/x86/mm/asan/asan.c:37 [ 124.581050] #2 ffffffff810dd423 in __tsan_read8 ??:0 [ 124.581893] #3 ffffffff8107c093 in get_wchan ./arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c:444 The address checks in the 64bit implementation of get_wchan() are wrong in several ways: - The lower bound of the stack is not the start of the stack page. It's the start of the stack page plus sizeof (struct thread_info) - The upper bound must be: top_of_stack - TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING - 2 * sizeof(unsigned long). The 2 * sizeof(unsigned long) is required because the stack pointer points at the frame pointer. The layout on the stack is: ... IP FP ... IP FP. So we need to make sure that both IP and FP are in the bounds. Fix the bound checks and get rid of the mix of numeric constants, u64 and unsigned long. Making all unsigned long allows us to use the same function for 32bit as well. Use READ_ONCE() when accessing the stack. This does not prevent a concurrent wakeup of the task and the stack changing, but at least it avoids TOCTOU. Also check task state at the end of the loop. Again that does not prevent concurrent changes, but it avoids walking for nothing. Add proper comments while at it. Reported-by:

PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME generates this code (using nmi as an example, trimmed for readability): ff 15 00 00 00 00 callq *0x0(%rip) # 2796 <nmi+0x6> 2792: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_irq_ops+0x2c That's a call through a function pointer to regular C function that does nothing on native boots, but that function isn't protected against kprobes, isn't marked notrace, and is certainly not guaranteed to preserve any registers if the compiler is feeling perverse. This is bad news for a CLBR_NONE operation. Of course, if everything works correctly, once paravirt ops are patched, it gets nopped out, but what if we hit this code before paravirt ops are patched in? This can potentially cause breakage that is very difficult to debug. A more subtle failure is possible here, too: if _paravirt_nop uses the stack at all (even just to push RBP), it will overwrite the "NMI executing" variable if it's called in the NMI prologue. The Xen case, perhaps surprisingly, is fine, because it's already written in asm. Fix all of the cases that default to paravirt_nop (including adjust_exception_frame) with a big hammer: replace paravirt_nop with an asm function that is just a ret instruction. The Xen case may have other problems, so document them. This is part of a fix for some random crashes that Sasha saw. Reported-and-tested-by:

In 2007, commit 07190a08 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable") bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code (now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was set. OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices, because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531 By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus fixing the problem.

The APIC LVTT register is MMIO mapped but the TSC_DEADLINE register is an MSR. The write to the TSC_DEADLINE MSR is not serializing, so it's not guaranteed that the write to LVTT has reached the APIC before the TSC_DEADLINE MSR is written. In such a case the write to the MSR is ignored and as a consequence the local timer interrupt never fires. The SDM decribes this issue for xAPIC and x2APIC modes. The serialization methods recommended by the SDM differ. xAPIC: "1. Memory-mapped write to LVT Timer Register, setting bits 18:17 to 10b. 2. WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR a value much larger than current time-stamp counter. 3. If RDMSR of the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR returns zero, go to step 2. 4. WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR the desired deadline." x2APIC: "To allow for efficient access to the APIC registers in x2APIC mode, the serializing semantics of WRMSR are relaxed when writing to the APIC registers. Thus, system software should not use 'WRMSR to APIC registers in x2APIC mode' as a serializing instruction. Read and write accesses to the APIC registers will occur in program order. A WRMSR to an APIC register may complete before all preceding stores are globally visible; software can prevent this by inserting a serializing instruction, an SFENCE, or an MFENCE before the WRMSR." The xAPIC method is to just wait for the memory mapped write to hit the LVTT by checking whether the MSR write has reached the hardware. There is no reason why a proper MFENCE after the memory mapped write would not do the same. Andi Kleen confirmed that MFENCE is sufficient for the xAPIC case as well. Issue MFENCE before writing to the TSC_DEADLINE MSR. This can be done unconditionally as all CPUs which have TSC_DEADLINE also have MFENCE support. [ tglx: Massaged the changelog ] Signed-off-by:

The recent ioapic cleanups changed the affinity setting in setup_ioapic_dest() from a direct write to the hardware to the delayed affinity setup via irq_set_affinity(). That results in a warning from chained_irq_exit(): WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5 at kernel/irq/migration.c:32 irq_move_masked_irq [<ffffffff810a0a88>] irq_move_masked_irq+0xb8/0xc0 [<ffffffff8103c161>] ioapic_ack_level+0x111/0x130 [<ffffffff812bbfe8>] intel_gpio_irq_handler+0x148/0x1c0 The reason is that irq_set_affinity() does not write directly to the hardware. It marks the affinity setting as pending and executes it from the next interrupt. The chained handler infrastructure does not take the irq descriptor lock for performance reasons because such a chained interrupt is not visible to any interfaces. So the delayed affinity setting triggers the warning in irq_move_masked_irq(). Restore the old behaviour by calling the set_affinity function of the ioapic chip in setup_ioapic_dest(). This is safe as none of the interrupts can be on the fly at this point. Fixes: aa5cb97f 'x86/irq: Remove x86_io_apic_ops.set_affinity and related interfaces' Reported-and-tested-by:

While the following commit: 37868fe1 ("x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous") added a nice comment explaining that Xen needs page-aligned whole page chunks for guest descriptor tables, it then nevertheless used kzalloc() on the small size path. As I'm unaware of guarantees for kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE, ) to return page-aligned memory blocks, I believe this needs to be switched back to __get_free_page() (or better get_zeroed_page()). Signed-off-by:

Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time that's hidden in ->set_dma_mask methods. This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either calls ->set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default implementation. Some architectures used to only call ->set_dma_mask after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the full work. h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has been fixed. Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override for now.

Since 2009 we have a nice asm-generic header implementing lots of DMA API functions for architectures using struct dma_map_ops, but unfortunately it's still missing a lot of APIs that all architectures still have to duplicate. This series consolidates the remaining functions, although we still need arch opt outs for two of them as a few architectures have very non-standard implementations. This patch (of 5): The coherent DMA allocator works the same over all architectures supporting dma_map operations. This patch consolidates them and converges the minor differences: - the debug_dma helpers are now called from all architectures, including those that were previously missing them - dma_alloc_from_coherent and dma_release_from_coherent are now always called from the generic alloc/free routines instead of the ops dma-mapping-common.h always includes dma-coherent.h to get the defintions for them, or the stubs if the architecture doesn't support this feature - checks for ->alloc / ->free presence are removed. There is only one magic instead of dma_map_ops without them (mic_dma_ops) and that one is x86 only anyway. Besides that only x86 needs special treatment to replace a default devices if none is passed and tweak the gfp_flags. An optional arch hook is provided for that.

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

If a subsystem has a need to deactivate the watchdog temporarily, it should utilize the watchdog_suspend() and watchdog_resume() functions.

The kernel's NMI watchdog has nothing to do with the watchdog subsystem. Its header declarations should be in linux/nmi.h, not linux/watchdog.h. The code provided two sets of dummy functions if HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not configured, one in the include file and one in kernel/watchdog.c. Remove the dummy functions from kernel/watchdog.c and use those from the include file. Signed-off-by:

The effort to replace mtrr_add() with architecture agnostic arch_phys_wc_add() is complete, this will ensure write-combining implementations (PAT on x86) is taken advantage instead of using MTRR. With the effort done now, hide direct MTRR access for drivers. The legacy user-space /proc/mtrr ABI is not affected.

" According to the ACPI dump file posted by Nick at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1440072 The ACPI MADT table includes an interrupt source overridden entry for ACPI SCI: [236h 0566 1] Subtable Type : 02 <Interrupt Source Override> [237h 0567 1] Length : 0A [238h 0568 1] Bus : 00 [239h 0569 1] Source : 09 [23Ah 0570 4] Interrupt : 00000009 [23Eh 0574 2] Flags (decoded below) : 000D Polarity : 1 Trigger Mode : 3 And in DSDT table, we have _PRT method to define PCI interrupts, which eventually goes to: Name (PRSA, ResourceTemplate () { IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, ) {3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15} }) Name (PRSB, ResourceTemplate () { IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, ) {3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15} }) Name (PRSC, ResourceTemplate () { IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, ) {3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15} }) Name (PRSD, ResourceTemplate () { IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, ) {3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,14,15} }) According to the MADT and DSDT tables, IRQ 9 may be used for: 1) ACPI SCI in level, high mode 2) PCI legacy IRQ in level, low mode So there's a conflict in polarity setting for IRQ 9. Prior to commit cd68f6bd ("x86, irq, acpi: Get rid of special handling of GSI for ACPI SCI"), ACPI SCI is handled specially and there's no check for conflicts between ACPI SCI and PCI legagy IRQ. And it seems that the HyperV hypervisor doesn't make use of the polarity configuration in IOAPIC entry, so it just works. Commit cd68f6bd gets rid of the specially handling of ACPI SCI, and then the pin attribute checking code discloses the conflicts between ACPI SCI and PCI legacy IRQ on HyperV virtual machine, and rejects the request to assign IRQ9 to PCI devices. So penalize legacy IRQ used by ACPI SCI and mark it unusable if ACPI SCI attributes conflict with PCI IRQ attributes.

As of cf991de2 ("x86/asm/msr: Make wrmsrl_safe() a function"), wrmsrl_safe is a function, but wrmsrl is still a macro. The wrmsrl macro performs invalid shifts if the value argument is 32 bits. This makes it unnecessarily awkward to write code that puts an unsigned long into an MSR. To make this work, syscall_init needs tweaking to stop passing a function pointer to wrmsrl. Signed-off-by:

In the recent x2apic cleanup I got two things really wrong: 1) The safety check in __disable_x2apic which allows the function to be called unconditionally is backwards. The check is there to prevent access to the apic MSR in case that the machine has no apic. Though right now it returns if the machine has an apic and therefor the disabling of x2apic is never invoked. 2) x2apic_disable() sets x2apic_mode to 0 after registering the local apic. That's wrong, because register_lapic_address() checks x2apic mode and therefor takes the wrong code path. This results in boot failures on machines with x2apic preenabled by BIOS and can also lead to an fatal MSR access on machines without apic. The solutions are simple: 1) Correct the sanity check for apic availability 2) Clear x2apic_mode _before_ calling register_lapic_address() Fixes: 659006bf 'x86/x2apic: Split enable and setup function' Reported-and-tested-by:

MWAITX can enable a timer and a corresponding timer value specified in SW P0 clocks. The SW P0 frequency is the same as TSC. The timer provides an upper bound on how long the instruction waits before exiting. This way, a delay function in the kernel can leverage that MWAITX timer of MWAITX. When a CPU core executes MWAITX, it will be quiesced in a waiting phase, diminishing its power consumption. This way, we can save power in comparison to our default TSC-based delays. A simple test shows that: $ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc $ sleep 10000s $ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc Results: * TSC-based default delay: 485115 uWatts average power * MWAITX-based delay: 252738 uWatts average power Thus, that's about 240 milliWatts less power consumption. The test method relies on the support of AMD CPU accumulated power algorithm in fam15h_power for which patches are forthcoming. Suggested-by:

We were asserting that we were all the way in CONTEXT_KERNEL when exception handlers were called. While having this be true is, I think, a nice goal (or maybe a variant in which we assert that we're in CONTEXT_KERNEL or some new IRQ context), we're not quite there. In particular, if an IRQ interrupts the SYSCALL prologue and the IRQ handler in turn causes an exception, the exception entry will be called in RCU IRQ mode but with CONTEXT_USER. This is okay (nothing goes wrong), but until we fix up the SYSCALL prologue, we need to avoid warning. Signed-off-by:

We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following reasons: 1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting 2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem (unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by default) 3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan "iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)" Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by:

Alex Deucher, Mark Rustad and Alexander Holler reported a regression with the latest v4.2-rc4 kernel, which breaks some SATA controllers. With multi-MSI capable SATA controllers, only the first port works, all other ports time out when executing SATA commands. This happens because the first argument to assign_irq_vector_policy() is always the base linux irq number of the multi MSI interrupt block, so all subsequent vector assignments operate on the base linux irq number, so all MSI irqs are handled as the first irq number. Therefor the other MSI irqs of a device are never set up correctly and never fire. Add the loop iterator to the base irq number so all vectors are assigned correctly. Fixes: b5dc8e6c "x86/irq: Use hierarchical irqdomain to manage CPU interrupt vectors" Reported-and-tested-by:

Both the per-APIC flag ".wait_for_init_deassert", and the global atomic_t "init_deasserted" are dead code -- remove them. For all APIC types, "wait_for_master()" prevents an AP from proceeding until the BSP has set cpu_callout_mask, making "init_deasserted" {unnecessary}: BSP: <de-assert INIT> ... BSP: {set init_deasserted} AP: wait_for_master() set cpu_initialized_mask wait for cpu_callout_mask BSP: test cpu_initialized_mask BSP: set cpu_callout_mask AP: test cpu_callout_mask AP: {wait for init_deasserted} ... AP: <touch APIC> Deleting the {dead code} above is necessary to enable some parallelism in a future patch. Signed-off-by:

MPS 1.4 example code shows the following required delays during processor on-lining: INIT udelay(10,000) SIPI udelay(200) SIPI udelay(200) /* Linux actually implements this as udelay(300) */ Linux skips the udelay(10,000) on modern processors. This patch removes the udelay(200) after each SIPI on those same processors. All three legacy delays can be restored by the cmdline "cpu_init_udelay=10000". As measured by analyze_suspend.py, this patch speeds processor resume time on my desktop from 2.4ms to 1.8ms, per AP. Signed-off-by:
