Merge branch 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2015-06-23T00:59:09+00:00

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat - so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request, collected into the 'x86/core' topic. The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good - but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the end. The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will have fewer dependencies). The main changes in this cycle were: * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner) - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86 interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt domains: [IOAPIC domain] ----- | [MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ] | (optional) | [HPET MSI domain] ----- | | [DMAR domain] ----------------------------- | [Legacy domain] ----------------------------- This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet and the vector management. - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt injection into guests (Feng Wu) * x86/asm changes: - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski, Brian Gerst) - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar) - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations. Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does not rely on them (Ingo Molnar) - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov) * x86/mm changes: - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers - in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov) - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani) * x86/ras changes: - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan) This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as far as possible. - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system- wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj) - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov) * x86/platform changes: - Intel Atom SoC updates ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the shortlog and the Git log for details" * 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits) x86/hpet: Use proper hpet device number for MSI allocation x86/hpet: Check for irq==0 when allocating hpet MSI interrupts x86/mm/pat, drivers/infiniband/ipath: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/mm/pat, drivers/media/ivtv: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/platform/intel/baytrail: Add comments about why we disabled HPET on Baytrail genirq: Prevent crash in irq_move_irq() genirq: Enhance irq_data_to_desc() to support hierarchy irqdomain iommu, x86: Properly handle posted interrupts for IOMMU hotplug iommu, x86: Provide irq_remapping_cap() interface iommu, x86: Setup Posted-Interrupts capability for Intel iommu iommu, x86: Add cap_pi_support() to detect VT-d PI capability iommu, x86: Avoid migrating VT-d posted interrupts iommu, x86: Save the mode (posted or remapped) of an IRTE iommu, x86: Implement irq_set_vcpu_affinity for intel_ir_chip iommu: dmar: Provide helper to copy shared irte fields iommu: dmar: Extend struct irte for VT-d Posted-Interrupts iommu: Add new member capability to struct irq_remap_ops x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code x86/asm/entry/32: Shorten __audit_syscall_entry() args preparation x86/asm/entry/32: Explain reloading of registers after __audit_syscall_entry() ...

x86/debug: Remove perpetually broken, unmaintainable dwarf annotations

2015-06-02T05:57:48+00:00

So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths of the Linux kernel. These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based stack unwinding method. In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups. There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that keeps it correct. So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth: 27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-) Someone who has the willingness and time to do this properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86 assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles, with the following conditions: - it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to 'ordinary' code reading and maintenance. - find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could be done for example via a preprocessing step that just looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for the few cases where we want to depart from the default. We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of that makes sense. - it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be done on the dwarf side.

x86/fpu: Split out fpu/signal.h from fpu/internal.h for signal frame handling functions

2015-05-19T13:48:05+00:00

Most of the FPU does not use them, so split it out and include them in signal.c and ia32_signal.c Also fix header file dependency assumption in fpu/core.c.

x86/fpu: Rename restore_xstate_sig() to fpu__restore_sig()

2015-05-19T13:48:04+00:00

restore_xstate_sig() is a misnomer: it's not limited to 'xstate' at all, it is the high level 'restore FPU state from a signal frame' function that works with all legacy FPU formats as well. Rename it (and its helper) accordingly, and also move it to the fpu__*() namespace. Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: H.

x86/fpu: Rename save_xstate_sig() to copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()

2015-05-19T13:48:01+00:00

Standardize the naming of save_xstate_sig() by renaming it to copy_fpstate_to_sigframe(): this tells us at a glance that the function copies an FPU fpstate to a signal frame. This naming also follows the naming of copy_fpregs_to_fpstate(). Don't put 'xstate' into the name: since this is a generic name, it's expected that the function is able to handle xstate frames as well, beyond legacy frames. xstate used to be the odd case in the x86 FPU code - now it's the common case.

x86/fpu: Rename fpu-internal.h to fpu/internal.h

2015-05-19T13:47:31+00:00

This unifies all the FPU related header files under a unified, hiearchical naming scheme: - asm/fpu/types.h: FPU related data types, needed for 'struct task_struct', widely included in almost all kernel code, and hence kept as small as possible. - asm/fpu/api.h: FPU related 'public' methods exported to other subsystems. - asm/fpu/internal.h: FPU subsystem internal methods - asm/fpu/xsave.h: XSAVE support internal methods (Also standardize the header guard in asm/fpu/internal.h.)

x86/fpu: Get rid of PF_USED_MATH usage, convert it to fpu->fpstate_active

2015-05-19T13:47:25+00:00

Introduce a simple fpu->fpstate_active flag in the fpu context data structure and use that instead of PF_USED_MATH in task->flags. Testing for this flag byte should be slightly more efficient than testing a bit in a bitmask, but the main advantage is that most FPU functions can now be performed on a 'struct fpu' alone, they don't need access to 'struct task_struct' anymore. There's a slight linecount increase, mostly due to the 'fpu' local variables and due to extra comments. The local variables will go away once we move most of the FPU methods to pure 'struct fpu' parameters. Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: H.

x86/fpu: Open code PF_USED_MATH usages

2015-05-19T13:47:24+00:00

PF_USED_MATH is used directly, but also in a handful of helper inlines. To ease the elimination of PF_USED_MATH, convert all inline helpers to open-coded PF_USED_MATH usage.
