| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Randy Dunlap reported the following build error: "When CONFIG_SMP=n, CONFIG_X86_MSR=m: ERROR: "msrs_free" [drivers/edac/amd64_edac_mod.ko] undefined! ERROR: "msrs_alloc" [drivers/edac/amd64_edac_mod.ko] undefined!" This is due to the fact that <arch/x86/lib/msr.c> is conditioned on CONFIG_SMP and in the UP case we have only the stubs in the header. Fork off SMP functionality into a new file (msr-smp.c) and build msrs_{alloc,free} unconditionally. Reported-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: H.

| * x86, msr: Add support for non-contiguous cpumasksBorislav Petkov2009-12-111-4/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268. This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU msr structs which are used on the respective cores. Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by the callers of the MSR accessors. Cc: H.

| * | x86: Turn the copy_from_user check into an (optional) compile time warningArjan van de Ven2009-10-011-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A previous patch added the buffer size check to copy_from_user(). One of the things learned from analyzing the result of the previous patch is that in general, gcc is really good at proving that the code contains sufficient security checks to not need to do a runtime check. But that for those cases where gcc could not prove this, there was a relatively high percentage of real security issues. This patch turns the case of "gcc cannot prove" into a compile time warning, as long as a sufficiently new gcc is in use that supports this. The objective is that these warnings will trigger developers checking new cases out before a security hole enters a linux kernel release.

| * | x86: Use __builtin_object_size() to validate the buffer size for ↵Arjan van de Ven2009-09-262-4/+4
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | copy_from_user() gcc (4.x) supports the __builtin_object_size() builtin, which reports the size of an object that a pointer point to, when known at compile time. If the buffer size is not known at compile time, a constant -1 is returned. This patch uses this feature to add a sanity check to copy_from_user(); if the target buffer is known to be smaller than the copy size, the copy is aborted and a WARNing is emitted in memory debug mode. These extra checks compile away when the object size is not known, or if both the buffer size and the copy length are constants.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code. cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there, but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking. This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on all modern systems. Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)

* | x86: Add AMD prefetch and 3DNow! opcodes to opcode mapMasami Hiramatsu2009-10-171-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add AMD prefetch and 3DNow! opcode including FEMMS. Since 3DNow! uses the last immediate byte as an opcode extension byte, x86 insn just treats the extenstion byte as an immediate byte instead of a part of opcode (insn_get_opcode() decodes first "0x0f 0x0f" bytes.) Users who are interested in analyzing 3DNow! opcode still can decode it by analyzing the immediate byte.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add x86 instruction decoder to arch-specific libraries. This decoder can decode x86 instructions used in kernel into prefix, opcode, modrm, sib, displacement and immediates. This can also show the length of instructions. This version introduces instruction attributes for decoding instructions. The instruction attribute tables are generated from the opcode map file (x86-opcode-map.txt) by the generator script(gen-insn-attr-x86.awk). Currently, the opcode maps are based on opcode maps in Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developers Manual Vol.2: Appendix.A, and consist of below two types of opcode tables. 1-byte/2-bytes/3-bytes opcodes, which has 256 elements, are written as below; Table: table-name Referrer: escaped-name opcode: mnemonic|GrpXXX [operand1[,operand2...]] [(extra1)[,(extra2)...] [| 2nd-mnemonic ...] (or) opcode: escape # escaped-name EndTable Group opcodes, which has 8 elements, are written as below; GrpTable: GrpXXX reg: mnemonic [operand1[,operand2...]] [(extra1)[,(extra2)...] [| 2nd-mnemonic ...] EndTable These opcode maps include a few SSE and FP opcodes (for setup), because those opcodes are used in the kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rewrite cmpxchg8b() to not use %edi register but a generic "+m" constraint, to increase compiler freedom in code generation and possibly better code.
