2011-06-25x86: Add support for cmpxchg_doubleChristoph Lameter4-0/+98
A simple implementation that only supports the word size and does not have a fallback mode (would require a spinlock). Add 32 and 64 bit support for cmpxchg_double. cmpxchg double uses the cmpxchg8b or cmpxchg16b instruction on x86 processors to compare and swap 2 machine words. This allows lockless algorithms to move more context information through critical sections. Set a flag CONFIG_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE to signal that support for double word cmpxchg detection has been build into the kernel. Note that each subsystem using cmpxchg_double has to implement a fall back mechanism as long as we offer support for processors that do not implement cmpxchg_double. Reviewed-by: H.

2011-06-19x86, efi: Do not reserve boot services regions within reserved areasMaarten Lankhorst3-7/+28
Commit 916f676f8dc started reserving boot service code since some systems require you to keep that code around until SetVirtualAddressMap is called. However, in some cases those areas will overlap with reserved regions. The proper medium-term fix is to fix the bootloader to prevent the conflicts from occurring by moving the kernel to a better position, but the kernel should check for this possibility, and only reserve regions which can be reserved.

2011-06-16xen/setup: Fix for incorrect xen_extra_mem_start.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-4/+6
The earlier attempts (24bdb0b62cc82120924762ae6bc85afc8c3f2b26) at fixing this problem caused other problems to surface (PV guests with no PCI passthrough would have SWIOTLB turned on - which meant 64MB of precious contingous DMA32 memory being eaten up per guest). The problem was: "on xen we add an extra memory region at the end of the e820, and on this particular machine this extra memory region would start below 4g and cross over the 4g boundary: [0xfee01000-0x192655000) Unfortunately e820_end_of_low_ram_pfn does not expect an e820 layout like that so it returns 4g, therefore initial_memory_mapping will map [0 - 0x100000000), that is a memory range that includes some reserved memory regions." The memory range was the IOAPIC regions, and with the 1-1 mapping turned on, it would map them as RAM, not as MMIO regions. This caused the hypervisor to complain. Fortunately this is experienced only under the initial domain so we guard for it.

2011-06-09exec: delay address limit change until point of no returnMathias Krause2-2/+0
Unconditionally changing the address limit to USER_DS and not restoring it to its old value in the error path is wrong because it prevents us using kernel memory on repeated calls to this function. This, in fact, breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being ever successful if the first candidate fails to load. With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded) probed paths. Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread() will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.

2011-06-09xen: partially revert "xen: set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped"Stefano Stabellini1-1/+8
We only need to set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped on x86_64 to make sure that cleanup_highmap doesn't remove important mappings at _end. We don't need to do this on x86_32 because cleanup_highmap is not called on x86_32. Besides lowering max_pfn_mapped on x86_32 has the unwanted side effect of limiting the amount of memory available for the 1:1 kernel pagetable allocation. This patch reverts the x86_32 part of the original patch.

2011-06-08x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on wrong CPUThomas Gleixner1-0/+13
After a newly plugged CPU sets the cpu_online bit it enables interrupts and goes idle. The cpu which brought up the new cpu waits for the cpu_online bit and when it observes it, it sets the cpu_active bit for this cpu. The cpu_active bit is the relevant one for the scheduler to consider the cpu as a viable target. With forced threaded interrupt handlers which imply forced threaded softirqs we observed the following race: cpu 0 cpu 1 bringup(cpu1); set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true); local_irq_enable(); while (!cpu_online(cpu1)); timer_interrupt() -> wake_up(softirq_thread_cpu1); -> enqueue_on(softirq_thread_cpu1, cpu0); ^^^^ cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE, cpu1); -> sched_cpu_active(cpu1) -> set_cpu_active((cpu1, true); When an interrupt happens before the cpu_active bit is set by the cpu which brought up the newly onlined cpu, then the scheduler refuses to enqueue the woken thread which is bound to that newly onlined cpu on that newly onlined cpu due to the not yet set cpu_active bit and selects a fallback runqueue. Not really an expected and desirable behaviour. So far this has only been observed with forced hard/softirq threading, but in theory this could happen without forced threaded hard/softirqs as well. It's probably unobservable as it would take a massive interrupt storm on the newly onlined cpu which causes the softirq loop to wake up the softirq thread and an even longer delay of the cpu which waits for the cpu_online bit.

2011-05-29x86 idle: deprecate mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline paramLen Brown1-0/+1
mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it. But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states. ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle(). Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param to simplify the x86 idle code. After this change, kernels configured with (!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware that support MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above can be used. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

In the long run, we don't want default_idle() or (pm_idle)() to be exported outside of process.c. Start by not exporting them to modules, unless the APM build demands it. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-05-29x86 idle: clarify AMD erratum 400 workaroundLen Brown6-25/+25
The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting: 1. Intel C1E is somehow involved 2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E. Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific to AMD processors with Erratum 400. This patch is text-substitution only, with no functional change. cc: x86@kernel.org Acked-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

* setns: ns: Wire up the setns system call Done as a merge to make it easier to fix up conflicts in arm due to addition of sendmmsg system call
2011-05-28ns: Wire up the setns system callEric W. Biederman4-1/+6
32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked at closely and I can't find any problems. setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I don't expect any weird architecture porting problems. While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300 the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was new in the 2.6.39. v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6 v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts. v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree. >  arch/blackfin/include/asm/unistd.h     |    3 ++- >  arch/blackfin/mach-common/entry.S      |    1 + Acked-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Oh - ia64 wiring looks good.

2011-05-28x86: Put back -pg to tsc.o and add no GCOV to vread_tsc_64.oSteven Rostedt1-0/+2
The commit 44259b1abfaa8bb819d25d41d71e8e33e25dd36a Author: Andy Lutomirski <luto@MIT.EDU> x86-64: Move vread_tsc into a new file with sensible options Removed the -pg from tsc.o which caused the function graph tracer to go into an infinite function call recursion as it uses the tsc internally outside its recursion protection, thus tracing the tsc breaks the function graph tracer. This commit also added the file vread_tsc_64.c that gets used by vdso but failed to prevent GCOV from monkeying with it, causing userspace to try to access kernel data when GCOV was enabled. Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for pointing out GCOV as the likely culprit that added strange kernel accesses into the vread_tsc() call.
