x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous

2015-07-31T08:23:23+00:00

modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize threads. Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications. This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place. This fixes some fallout from the CVE-2015-5157 fixes.

x86/fpu: Move various internal function prototypes to fpu/internal.h

2015-05-19T13:47:48+00:00

There are a number of FPU internal function prototypes and an inline function in fpu/api.h, mostly placed so historically as the code grew over the years. Move them over into fpu/internal.h where they belong. (Add sched.h include to stackprotector.h which incorrectly relied on getting it from fpu/api.h.) fpu/api.h is now a pure file that only contains FPU APIs intended for driver use.

2015-05-19T13:47:33+00:00

So the 'pcntxt_mask' is a misnomer, it's essentially meaningless to anyone who doesn't know what it does exactly. Name it more descriptively as 'xfeatures_mask'.

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/asm/entry: Rename 'init_tss' to 'cpu_tss'

2015-03-06T07:32:58+00:00

It has nothing to do with init -- there's only one TSS per cpu. Other names considered include: - current_tss: Confusing because we never switch the tss. - singleton_tss: Too long. This patch was generated with 's/init_tss/cpu_tss/g'. Followup patches will fix INIT_TSS and INIT_TSS_IST by hand. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.

x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4

2015-02-04T11:10:42+00:00

Context switches and TLB flushes can change individual bits of CR4. CR4 reads take several cycles, so store a shadow copy of CR4 in a per-cpu variable. To avoid wasting a cache line, I added the CR4 shadow to cpu_tlbstate, which is already touched in switch_mm. The heaviest users of the cr4 shadow will be switch_mm and __switch_to_xtra, and __switch_to_xtra is called shortly after switch_mm during context switch, so the cacheline is likely to be hot.

x86, power, suspend: Annotate restore_processor_state() with notrace

2014-07-17T13:45:05+00:00

ftrace_stop() is used to stop function tracing during suspend and resume which removes a lot of possible debugging opportunities with tracing. The reason was that some function in the resume path was causing a triple fault if it were to be traced. The issue I found was that doing something as simple as calling smp_processor_id() would reboot the box! When function tracing was first created I didn't have a good way to figure out what function was having issues, or it looked to be multiple ones. To fix it, we just created a big hammer approach to the problem which was to add a flag in the mcount trampoline that could be checked and not call the traced functions. Lately I developed better ways to find problem functions and I can bisect down to see what function is causing the issue. I removed the flag that stopped tracing and proceeded to find the problem function and it ended up being restore_processor_state(). This function makes sense as when the CPU comes back online from a suspend it calls this function to set up registers, amongst them the GS register, which stores things such as what CPU the processor is (if you call smp_processor_id() without this set up properly, it would fault). By making restore_processor_state() notrace, the system can suspend and resume without the need of the big hammer tracing to stop.

x86, gdt, hibernate: Store/load GDT for hibernate path.

2013-05-02T18:27:35+00:00

The git commite7a5cd063c7b4c58417f674821d63f5eb6747e37 ("x86-64, gdt: Store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernate/resume path is not needed.") assumes that for the hibernate path the booting kernel and the resuming kernel MUST be the same. That is certainly the case for a 32-bit kernel (see check_image_kernel and CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_HEADER config option). However for 64-bit kernels it is OK to have a different kernel version (and size of the image) of the booting and resuming kernels. Hence the above mentioned git commit introduces an regression. This patch fixes it by introducing a 'struct desc_ptr gdt_desc' back in the 'struct saved_context'. However instead of having in the 'save_processor_state' and 'restore_processor_state' the store/load_gdt calls, we are only saving the GDT in the save_processor_state. For the restore path the lgdt operation is done in hibernate_asm_[32|64].S in the 'restore_registers' path. The apt reader of this description will recognize that only 64-bit kernels need this treatment, not 32-bit. This patch adds the logic in the 32-bit path to be more similar to 64-bit so that in the future the unification process can take advantage of this.
