The introduction of call_softirq switching to the interrupt stack several releases earlier resulted in a problem with the code in show_trace, which assumes that it can pick the previous stack pointer from the end of the interrupt stack.

Be more careful with TF handling to fix some copy protection codes in wine patch originally for i386 by Linus, then ported to x86_64 by Andi Kleen see: [PATCH] x86_64: Some fixes for single step handling commit: be61bff7 But it was never applied to the ia32 emulation code which breaks some copy-protection schemes under wine when running on x86_64.

As discussed, the flags register on x86-64 is saved and restored by the assembly code which sets up struct pt_regs, so we do not need to save and restore it in the inline assembler which already informs gcc that we're clobbering the flags. This patch has been sanity booted and works okay here. Signed-off-by:

So why are we calling smp_send_stop from machine_halt? We don't. Looking more closely at the bug report the problem here is that halt -p is called which triggers not a halt but an attempt to power off. machine_power_off calls machine_shutdown which calls smp_send_stop. If pm_power_off is set we should never make it out machine_power_off to the call of do_exit. So pm_power_off must not be set in this case. When pm_power_off is not set we expect machine_power_off to devolve into machine_halt. So how do we fix this? Playing too much with smp_send_stop is dangerous because it must also be safe to be called from panic. It looks like the obviously correct fix is to only call machine_shutdown when pm_power_off is defined. Doing that will make Andi's assumption about not scheduling true and generally simplify what must be supported. This turns machine_power_off into a noop like machine_halt when pm_power_off is not defined. If the expected behavior is that sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF) becomes sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT) if pm_power_off is NULL this is not quite a comprehensive fix as we pass a different parameter to the reboot notifier and we set system_state to a different value before calling device_shutdown(). Unfortunately any fix more comprehensive I can think of is not obviously correct. The core problem is that there is no architecture independent way to detect if machine_power will become a noop, without calling it. Signed-off-by:

I noticed that some lowlevel send_IPI_mask helpers had a hotplug/preempt race whereupon the cpu_online_map was read before disabling preemption; ... cpumask_t mask = cpu_online_map; int cpu = get_cpu(); cpu_clear(cpu, mask); ... But then i realised that there is no need for these lowlevel functions to be going through all this trouble when all the callers are already made hotplug/preempt safe. Signed-off-by:

This - switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's %gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with the INT1 handler's [AK: this also allows setting a kprobe on the interrupt/exception entry points] - allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3 handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel- debugger-free kernel doesn't need it Signed-Off-By:

Print bits for RDTSCP, SVM, CR8-LEGACY. Also now print power flags on i386 like x86-64 always did. This will add a new line in the 386 cpuinfo, but that shouldn't be an issue - did that in the past too and I haven't heard of any breakage. I shrunk some of the fields in the i386 cpuinfo_x86 to chars to make up for the new int "x86_power" field. Overall it's smaller than before. Signed-off-by:

Define it for i386 too. This is a synthetic flag that signifies that the CPU's TSC runs at a constant P state invariant frequency. Fix up the logic on x86-64/i386 to set it on all known CPUs. Use the AMD defined bit to set it on future AMD CPUs. Cc: venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com Signed-off-by:

Most users don't need it so no need to waste memory. This means an user has to specify the appropiate number of hotplug CPUs on the command line with additional_cpus=... or fix their BIOS to follow the convention in Documentation/x86-64/cpu-hotplug-spec Signed-off-by:

Make sure no iret can fault without attached recovery code. Cannot happen in the normal case, but might be useful with kernel debuggers Signed-off-by:
-
Jan Beulich authored
Since a double fault always implies that kernel data structures are corrupt, this fault should neither be handed to user mode handling, nor should the handler allow resuming the faulting code stream (since architecturally this isn't a fault, but an abort). Note that this slightly depends on the previously submitted patch adjusting the prototype of notify_die() (a compiler warning will result without that other patch). AK: Removed obsolete CONFIG_CHECKING code, added comments Signed-off-by:

Jan Beulich authored
This adjusts things so that handlers of the die() notifier will have sufficient information about the trap currently being handled. It also adjusts the notify_die() prototype to (again) match that of i386. Signed-off-by:

With Andi Kleen's x86_64 patch to use DMI, and my ia64 to use DMI, there is now a new CONFIG_DMI option which takes the place of CONFIG_X86 to denote the availability of the DMI functions. Make the IPMI driver use CONFIG_DMI instead. Tested on ia64 2.6.15 kernel plus the previous patch, on a Dell PowerEdge 7250 Itanium2 server, and it now autodetects the IPMI KCS driver as expected.

There is a window where a probe gets removed right after the probe is hit on some different cpu. In this case probe handlers can't find a matching probe instance related to break address. In this case we need to read the original instruction at break address to see if that is not a break/int3 instruction and recover safely. Previous code had a bug where we were not checking for the above race in case of reentrant probes and the below patch fixes this race. Tested on IA64, Powerpc, x86_64. Signed-off-by:

When a kprobes modules is written in such a way that probes are inserted on itself, then unload of that moudle was not possible due to reference couning on the same module. The below patch makes a check and incrementes the module refcount only if it is not a self probed module. We need to allow modules to probe themself for kprobes performance measurements This patch has been tested on several x86_64, ppc64 and IA64 architectures.
