      x86/reboot/quirks: Add iMac10,1 to pci_reboot_dmi_table[] · 2f0c0b2d
      Mario Kleiner authored
      Without the reboot=pci method, the iMac 10,1 simply
      hangs after printing "Restarting system" at the point
      when it should reboot. This fixes it.

      lguest: Map switcher text R/O · e27d90e8
      Rusty Russell authored
      Pavel noted that lguest maps the switcher code executable and
      read-write.  This is a bad idea for any kernel text, but
      particularly for text mapped at a fixed address.
      
      Create two vmas, one for the text (PAGE_KERNEL_RX) and another
      for the stacks (PAGE_KERNEL).  Use VM_NO_GUARD to map them
      adjacent (as expected by the rest of the code).

      x86/fpu: Disable AVX when eagerfpu is off · 394db20c
      yu-cheng yu authored
      When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
      should disable AVX support.
      
      The Task Switched bit used for lazy context switching does not
      support AVX. If AVX is enabled without eagerfpu context
      switching, one task's AVX state could become corrupted or leak
      to other tasks. This is a bug and has bad security implications.
      
      This only affects systems that have AVX/AVX2/AVX512 and this
      issue will be found only when one actually uses AVX/AVX2/AVX512
      _AND_ does eagerfpu=off.
      
      Reference: Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 3A
      
      Sec. 2.5 Control Registers:
      TS Task Switched bit (bit 3 of CR0) -- Allows the saving of the
      x87 FPU/ MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 context on a task switch
      to be delayed until an x87 FPU/MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4
      instruction is actually executed by the new task.
      
      Sec. 13.4.1 Using the TS Flag to Control the Saving of the X87
      FPU and SSE State
      When the TS flag is set, the processor monitors the instruction
      stream for x87 FPU, MMX, SSE instructions. When the processor
      detects one of these instructions, it raises a
      device-not-available exeception (#NM) prior to executing the
      instruction.

      x86/fpu: Disable MPX when eagerfpu is off · a5fe93a5
      yu-cheng yu authored
      This issue is a fallout from the command-line parsing move.
      
      When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
      should disable MPX support. The decision for turning off MPX was
      made in fpu__init_system_ctx_switch(), which is after the
      selection of the XSAVE format. This patch fixes it by getting
      that decision done earlier in fpu__init_system_xstate().

      x86/fpu: Disable XGETBV1 when no XSAVE · eb7c5f87
      yu-cheng yu authored
      When "noxsave" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
      should disable XGETBV1. This issue currently does not cause any
      actual problems. XGETBV1 is only useful if we have something
      using the 'init optimization' (i.e. xsaveopt, xsaves). We
      already clear both of those in fpu__xstate_clear_all_cpu_caps().
      But this is good for completeness.

      x86/fpu: Fix early FPU command-line parsing · 4f81cbaf
      yu-cheng yu authored
      The function fpu__init_system() is executed before
      parse_early_param(). This causes wrong FPU configuration. This
      patch fixes this issue by parsing boot_command_line in the
      beginning of fpu__init_system().

      features as the following:

      selftests/x86: Disable the ldt_gdt_64 test for now · 0f672809
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      ldt_gdt.c relies on cross-cpu invalidation of SS to do one of
      its tests.  On 32-bit builds, this works fine, but on 64-bit
      builds, it only works if the kernel has proper SS sigcontext
      handling for 64-bit user programs.
      
      Since the SS fixes are currently reverted, restrict the test
      case to 32 bits for now.
      
      In principle, I could change the test to use a different segment
      register, but it would be messy: CS can't point to the LDT for
      64-bit code, and the other registers don't result in immediate
      faults because they aren't reloaded on kernel -> user
      transitions.
      
      When we fix sigcontext (in 4.6?), we can revert this.

         - Introduce the 'perf stat record/report' workflow:
      
           Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the
           scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat'
           specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc.
      
           Simple example:
      
              $ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1
      
               Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
      
                     1,134,996      cycles
      
                   0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
      
              $ perf stat report
      
               Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':
      
                     1,134,996      cycles
      
                   0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
      
              $
      
           It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:
      
              $ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
              0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637

              [acme@ssdandy linux]$
      
           An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to
           not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.
      
           The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.
      
         - Make command line options always available, even when they depend
           on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such
           options (Wang Nan)
      
         - Support hw breakpoint events (mem:0xAddress) in the default output
           mode in 'perf script' (Wang Nan)
      
         - Fixes and improvements for supporting annotating ARM binaries,
           support ARM call and jump instructions, more work needed to have
           arch specific stuff separated into tools/perf/arch/*/annotate/
           (Russell King)
      
         - Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list
           command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a
           basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and
           detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read.  (Taeung
           Song)
      
         - Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using DWARF
           info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang,
           Wang Nan)
      
         - Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)
      
         - Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang
           Nan)
      
         - BPF programs now can specify 'perf probe' tunables via its section
           name, separating key=val values using semicolons (Wang Nan)
      
           Testing some of these new BPF features:
      
              Use case: get callchains when receiving SSL packets, filter then in the
                        kernel, at arbitrary place.

         - Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what
           variables can be collected at any given point, experiment first
           collecting without a filter, then filter, use it together with
           'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without callchains, if it
           explodes, please tell us!
      
         - Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
           representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry,
           facilitating 'perf report' output processing by other tools, such
           as Brendan Gregg's flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The changes in this cycle were:
      
         - Adding transitivity uniformly to rcu_node structure ->lock
           acquisitions.  (This is implemented by the first two commits on top
           of v4.4-rc2 due to the pervasive nature of this change.)
      
         - Documentation updates, including RCU requirements.
      
         - Expedited grace-period changes.
      
         - Miscellaneous fixes.
      
         - Linked-list fixes, courtesy of KTSAN.
      
         - Torture-test updates.
      
         - Late-breaking fix to sysrq-generated crash.
      
        One thing I should note is that these pieces of documentation are
        fairly large files:
      
          .../RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.html      | 2897 ++++++++++++++++++++
          .../RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.htmlx     | 2741 ++++++++++++++++++
      
        and are written in HTML, not the usual .txt style.  I hope they are
        fine"
      
      Paul McKenney explains the html docs:
       "For whatever it is worth, the reason for this unconventional choice
        was that attempts to do the diagrams in ASCII art failed miserably.
      
        And attempts to do ASCII art for the upcoming documentation of the
        data structures failed even more miserably"
