In order to easily detect pathological cases, print some diagnostics when the kernel boots. This also provides helpers to detect that HYP mode is actually available, which can be used by other subsystems to enable HYP specific features. Signed-off-by:

The zImage loader needs to turn on the MMU in order to take advantage of caching while decompressing the zImage. Running this in hyp mode would require the LPAE pagetable format to be supported; to avoid this complexity, this patch switches out of hyp mode, and returns back to hyp mode just before booting the kernel. This implementation assumes that the Hyp mode view of memory and the PL1 view of memory are coherent, providing that the MMU and caches are off in both, as required by the boot protocol. The zImage decompression code must drain the write buffer on completion anyway, and entry into Hyp mode should flush any prefetch buffer, avoiding hazards associated with local write buffers and the pipeline.

This patch does two things: * Ensure that asynchronous aborts are masked at kernel entry. The bootloader should be masking these anyway, but this reduces the damage window just in case it doesn't. * Enter svc mode via exception return to ensure that CPU state is properly serialised. This does not matter when switching from an ordinary privileged mode ("PL1" modes in ARMv7-AR rev C parlance), but it potentially does matter when switching from a another privileged mode such as hyp mode. This should allow the kernel to boot safely either from svc mode or hyp mode, even if no support for use of the ARM Virtualization Extensions is built into the kernel. Signed-off-by:

For now, this patch just adds a definition for the HVC instruction. More can be added here later, as needed. Now that we have a real example of how to use the opcode injection macros properly, this patch also adds a cross-reference from the explanation in opcodes.h (since without an example, figuring out how to use the macros is not that easy).

This patch adds some __inst_() macros for injecting custom opcodes in assembler (both inline and in .S files). They should make it easier and cleaner to get things right in little-/big- endian/ARM/Thumb-2 kernels without a lot of #ifdefs. This pure-preprocessor approach is preferred over the alternative method of wedging extra assembler directives into the assembler input using top-level asm() blocks, since there is no way to guarantee that the compiler won't reorder those with respect to each other or with respect to non-toplevel asm() blocks, unless -fno-toplevel-reorder is passed (which is in itself somewhat undesirable because it defeats some potential optimisations). Currently <asm/unified.h> _does_ silently rely on the compiler not reordering at the top level, but it seems better to avoid adding extra code which depends on this if the same result can be achieved in another way.

Most of the existing macros don't work with assembler, due to the use of type casts and C functions from <linux/swab.h>. This patch abstracts out those operations and provides simple explicit versions for use in assembly code. __opcode_is_thumb32() and __opcode_is_thumb16() are also converted to do bitmask-based testing to avoid confusion if these are used in assembly code (the assembler typically treats all arithmetic values as signed). These changes avoid the need for the compiler to pre-evaluate constant expressions used to generate opcodes. By ensuring that the forms of these expressions can be evaluated directly by the assembler, we can just stringify the expressions directly into the asm during the preprocessing pass. The alternative approach (passing the evaluated expression via an inline asm "i" constraint) gets painful because the contents of the asm and the constraints must be kept in sync. This makes the resulting macros awkward to use. Retaining the C forms of the macros allows more efficient code to be generated when opcodes are generated programmatically at run- time, but there is no way to embed run-time-generated opcodes in asm() blocks.

The existing __mem_to_opcode_thumb32() is incorrect for BE32 platforms. However, these don't support Thumb-2 kernels, so this option is not so relevant for those platforms anyway. This operation is complicated by the lack of unaligned memory access support prior to ARMv6. Rather than provide a "working" macro which will probably won't get used (or worse, will get misused), this patch removes the macro for BE32 kernels. People manipulating Thumb opcodes prior to ARMv6 should almost certainly be splitting these operations into halfwords anyway, using __opcode_thumb32_{first,second,compose}() and the 16-bit opcode transformations.

Commit 644595f8 ("compat: Handle COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/socket.c") introduced a bug where the helper functions to take either a 64-bit or compat time[spec|val] got the arguments in the wrong order, passing the kernel stack pointer off as a user pointer (and vice versa). Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel address. Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit processes with a 64-bit kernel. On odder architectures like HP-PA (with separate user/kernel address spaces), it can be used read kernel memory. Signed-off-by:

When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB. The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev->coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff) our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits. By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting and we get 0xfffffffff. This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit. On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling dma_alloc_coherent_mask. This patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb and is a rebase of the original patch from Ronny Hegewald which never got upstream b/c the underlaying reason was not understood until now.

We would traverse the full P2M top directory (from 0->MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES inclusive) when trying to figure out whether we can re-use some of the P2M middle leafs. Which meant that if the kernel was compiled with MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES=512 we would try to use the 512th entry. Fortunately for us the p2m_top_index has a check for this: BUG_ON(pfn >= MAX_P2M_PFN); which we hit and saw this: (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0: (XEN) ----[ Xen-4.1.2-OVM x86_64 debug=n Tainted: C ]---- (XEN) CPU: 0 (XEN) RIP: e033:[<ffffffff819cadeb>] (XEN) RFLAGS: 0000000000000212 EM: 1 CONTEXT: pv guest (XEN) rax: ffffffff81db5000 rbx: ffffffff81db4000 rcx: 0000000000000000 (XEN) rdx: 0000000000480211 rsi: 0000000000000000 rdi: ffffffff81db4000 (XEN) rbp: ffffffff81793db8 rsp: ffffffff81793d38 r8: 0000000008000000 (XEN) r9: 4000000000000000 r10: 0000000000000000 r11: ffffffff81db7000 (XEN) r12: 0000000000000ff8 r13: ffffffff81df1ff8 r14: ffffffff81db6000 (XEN) r15: 0000000000000ff8 cr0: 000000008005003b cr4: 00000000000026f0 (XEN) cr3: 0000000661795000 cr2: 0000000000000000 Fixes-Oracle-Bug: 14570662 CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # only for v3.5 Signed-off-by:

patch_instruction() can be called very early on ppc32, when the kernel isn't yet running at it's linked address. That can cause the ! is_kernel_addr() test in __put_user() to trip and call might_sleep() which is very bad at that point during boot. Use a lower level function instead for now, at least until we get to rework ppc32 boot process to do the code patching later, like ppc64 does. Signed-off-by:

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote() is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing for it to do. In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule() is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(), this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux(). The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers. Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that ipi_message is not just accessed locally. This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations. Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases. These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on different cores of a POWER7 machine. The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly is due to Milton Miller. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.0+ Reported-by:

During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value. If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management (ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value. Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread DSCR as required. This was found with the following test case, when running with more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all test cases successfully at the same time: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_explicit_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_inherit_test.cSigned-off-by:

If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit. We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from the parent which ends up being much simpler.

When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr. We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is a period where thread.dscr is incorrect. If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with reality. This issue was found with the following testcase: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_inherit_test.cSigned-off-by:

Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR - we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.
