      x86/boot/smp: Don't try to poke disabled/non-existent APIC · ff856051
      Ville Syrjälä authored 
      Apparently trying to poke a disabled or non-existent APIC
leads to a box that doesn't even boot. Let's not do that.

No real clue if this is the right fix, but at least my
P3 machine boots again.

      sched/core, x86: Make struct thread_info arch specific again · c8061485
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      The following commit:

  c65eacbe ("sched/core: Allow putting thread_info into task_struct")

... made 'struct thread_info' a generic struct with only a
single ::flags member, if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT=y is
selected.

This change however seems to be quite x86 centric, since at least the
generic preemption code (asm-generic/preempt.h) assumes that struct
thread_info also has a preempt_count member, which apparently was not
true for x86.

We could add a bit more #ifdefs to solve this problem too, but it seems
to be much simpler to make struct thread_info arch specific
again. This also makes the conversion to THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT a
bit easier for architectures that have a couple of arch specific stuff
in their thread_info definition.

The arch specific stuff _could_ be moved to thread_struct. However
keeping them in thread_info makes it easier: accessing thread_info
members is simple, since it is at the beginning of the task_struct,
while the thread_struct is at the end. At least on s390 the offsets
needed to access members of the thread_struct (with task_struct as
base) are too large for various asm instructions.  This is not a
problem when keeping these members within thread_info.

      x86/signal: Remove bogus user_64bit_mode() check from sigaction_compat_abi() · ed1e7db3
      Dmitry Safonov authored 
      The recent introduction of SA_X32/IA32 sa_flags added a check for
user_64bit_mode() into sigaction_compat_abi(). user_64bit_mode() is true
for native 64-bit processes and x32 processes.

Due to that the function returns w/o setting the SA_X32_ABI flag for X32
processes. In consequence the kernel attempts to deliver the signal to the
X32 process in native 64-bit mode causing the process to segfault.

Remove the check, so the actual check for X32 mode which sets the ABI flag
can be reached. There is no side effect for native 64-bit mode.

      x86/platform/UV: Fix support for EFI_OLD_MEMMAP after BIOS callback updates · caef78b6
      Alex Thorlton authored 
      Some time ago, we brought our UV BIOS callback code up to speed with the
new EFI memory mapping scheme, in commit:

    d1be84a2 ("x86/uv: Update uv_bios_call() to use efi_call_virt_pointer()")

By leveraging some changes that I made to a few of the EFI runtime
callback mechanisms, in commit:

    80e75596 ("efi: Convert efi_call_virt() to efi_call_virt_pointer()")

This got everything running smoothly on UV, with the new EFI mapping
code.  However, this left one, small loose end, in that EFI_OLD_MEMMAP
(a.k.a. efi=old_map) will no longer work on UV, on kernels that include
the aforementioned changes.

At the time this was not a major issue (in fact, it still really isn't),
but there's no reason that EFI_OLD_MEMMAP *shouldn't* work on our
systems.  This commit adds a check into uv_bios_call(), to see if we have
the EFI_OLD_MEMMAP bit set in efi.flags.  If it is set, we fall back to
using our old callback method, which uses efi_call() directly on the __va()
of our function pointer.

      x86/e820: Don't merge consecutive E820_PRAM ranges · 23446cb6
      Dan Williams authored 
      Commit:

  917db484 ("x86/boot: Fix kdump, cleanup aborted E820_PRAM max_pfn manipulation")

... fixed up the broken manipulations of max_pfn in the presence of
E820_PRAM ranges.

However, it also broke the sanitize_e820_map() support for not merging
E820_PRAM ranges.

Re-introduce the enabling to keep resource boundaries between
consecutive defined ranges. Otherwise, for example, an environment that
boots with memmap=2G!8G,2G!10G will end up with a single 4G /dev/pmem0
device instead of a /dev/pmem0 and /dev/pmem1 device 2G in size.

KASAN stack instrumentation poisons stack redzones on function entry
and unpoisons them on function exit. If a function exits abnormally
(e.g. with a longjmp like jprobe_return()), stack redzones are left
poisoned. Later this leads to random KASAN false reports.

Unpoison stack redzones in the frames we are going to jump over
before doing actual longjmp in jprobe_return().

      kprobes: Avoid false KASAN reports during stack copy · 9254139a
      Dmitry Vyukov authored 
      Kprobes save and restore raw stack chunks with memcpy().
With KASAN these chunks can contain poisoned stack redzones,
as the result memcpy() interceptor produces false
stack out-of-bounds reports.

Use __memcpy() instead of memcpy() for stack copying.
__memcpy() is not instrumented by KASAN and does not lead
to the false reports.

Currently there is a spew of KASAN reports during boot
if CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST is enabled:

      objtool: Skip all "unreachable instruction" warnings for gcov kernels · 9cfffb11
      Josh Poimboeuf authored 
      Recently objtool has started reporting a few "unreachable instruction"
warnings when CONFIG_GCOV is enabled for newer versions of GCC.  Usually
this warning means there's some new control flow that objtool doesn't
understand.  But in this case, objtool is correct and the instructions
really are inaccessible.  It's an annoying quirk of gcov, but it's
harmless, so it's ok to just silence the warnings.

With older versions of GCC, it was relatively easy to detect
gcov-specific instructions and to skip any unreachable warnings produced
by them.  But GCC 6 has gotten craftier.

Instead of continuing to play whack-a-mole with gcov, just use a bigger,
more permanent hammer and disable unreachable warnings for the whole
file when gcov is enabled.  This is fine to do because a) unreachable
warnings are usually of questionable value; and b) gcov isn't used for
production kernels and we can relax the checks a bit there.

      objtool: Improve rare switch jump table pattern detection · 3732710f
      Josh Poimboeuf authored 
      GCC 6 added a new switch statement jump table optimization which makes
objtool's life harder.  It looks like:

  mov [rodata addr],%reg1
  ... some instructions ...
  jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)

The optimization is quite rare, but objtool still needs to be able to
identify the pattern so that it can follow all possible control flow
paths related to the switch statement.

In order to detect the pattern, objtool starts from the indirect jump
and scans backwards through the function until it finds the first
instruction in the pattern.  If it encounters an unconditional jump
along the way, it stops and considers the pattern to be not found.

As it turns out, unconditional jumps can happen, as long as they are
small forward jumps within the range being scanned.

This fixes the following warnings:

  drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_comp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_completer()+0x2f4: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
  drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.o: warning: objtool: rxe_responder()+0x10f: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
