* x86: get rid of the insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bitH. Peter Anvin2010-01-295-23/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries. And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing for a 32-bit compat process. Everything becomes much more straightforward this way. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functionsLinus Torvalds2010-01-291-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable environment, it also starts up the new one. Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails. As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit (TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do the actual personality magic. This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the 'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail (still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed to trivially comply with the new world order. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

It causes a big boot delay because the firmware is not available. See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126267290920060 It also renders the reload sysfs attribute useless. Fixing this is too intrusive for an -rc5 kernel. Thus I'd like to restore the microcode loading behaviour of kernel 2.6.32.

Unequivocally setting the bit in nodes_parsed is insufficient since existing code, such as acpi_get_nodes(), assumes all nodes in the map have online address ranges. In fact, all code using nodes_parsed assumes such nodes represent an address range of online memory. nodes_possible_map is created by unioning nodes_parsed and cpu_nodes_parsed; the former represents nodes with online memory and the latter represents memoryless nodes. We now set the bit for hotpluggable nodes in cpu_nodes_parsed so that it also gets set in nodes_possible_map. [ hpa: Haicheng Li points out that this makes the naming of the variable cpu_nodes_parsed somewhat counterintuitive. However, leave it as is in the interest of keeping the pure bug fix patch small. ] Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Tested-by: Haicheng Li <haicheng.li@linux.intel.com> LKML-Reference: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1001201152040.30528@chino.kir.corp.google.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: H.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we queue an interrupt to the local apic, we set the IRR before the TMR. The vcpu can pick up the IRR and inject the interrupt before setting the TMR, and perhaps even EOI it, causing incorrect behaviour. The race is really insignificant since it can only occur on the first interrupt (usually following interrupts will not change TMR), but it's better closed than open.

Therefore the Xen paravirt backend should use RPL==0 instead of 1 (or 3). Using RPL==1 causes generic arch code to take incorrect code paths because it uses "testl $3, <CS>, je foo" type tests for a userspace CS and this considers 1==userspace. This issue was previously masked because get_kernel_rpl() was omitted when setting CS in kernel_thread(). This was fixed when kernel_thread() was unified with 32 bit in f443ff4201dd25cd4dec183f9919ecba90c8edc2.

Unfortunately userspace can arrange for those pointers to actually be dereferencable, potentially turning an oops to an expolit. To avoid this allow architectures (currently x86_64 only) to override the default values for these pointers with truly-undereferencable values. This is easy on x86_64 as the virtual address space is large and contains areas that cannot be mapped. Other 64-bit architectures will likely find similar unmapped ranges.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the recent irq migration fixes (post 2.6.32), Gary Hade has noticed "No IRQ handler for vector" messages during the 2.6.33-rc1 kernel boot on IBM AMD platforms and root caused the issue to this commit: > commit 23359a88e7eca3c4f402562b102f23014db3c2aa > Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> > Date: Mon Oct 26 14:24:33 2009 -0800 > > x86: Remove move_cleanup_count from irq_cfg As part of this patch, we have removed the move_cleanup_count check in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(). With this change, we can run into a situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get the "No IRQ handler" messages. Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the new cpu destination).

Currently, dump_trace() takes the current bp and starts the callchain from dump_trace() itself. This is wasteful because we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before retrieving the interrupted point. We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.
