16 years agox86: fix vsyscall wreckage
Thomas Gleixner [Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:57:30 +0000 (23:57 +0100)]
x86: fix vsyscall wreckage

based on a report from Arne Georg Gleditsch about user-space apps
misbehaving after toggling /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64, a review
of the code revealed that the "NOP patching" done there is
fundamentally unsafe for a number of reasons:

1) the patching code runs without synchronizing other CPUs

2) it inserts NOPs even if there is no clock source which provides vread

3) when the clock source changes to one without vread we run in
   exactly the same problem as in #2

4) if nobody toggles the proc entry from 1 to 0 and to 1 again, then
   the syscall is not patched out

as a result it is possible to break user-space via this patching.
The only safe thing for now is to remove the patching.

This code was broken since v2.6.21.

16 years agox86: rename KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE => KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE

text but data, bss and init sections as well.

That name led me on the wrong path with the KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE regression,
because i knew how big of _text_ my images have and i knew about the 40 MB

x86: fix spontaneous reboot with allyesconfig bzImage

recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously
rebooting during early bootup.

after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out
that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel
image:

      #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE  (40*1024*1024)

which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass:

       text           data       bss        dec       hex   filename
   29703744        4222751   8646224   42572719   2899baf   vmlinux

40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/

So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is
the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-)

So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped.
(should anyone be that crazy or lazy)

We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these
mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather
pointless and arbitrary.

x86: handle BIOSes which terminate e820 with CF=1 and no SMAP

The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the
last legitimate memory block.  However, several BIOSes don't do that
and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of
the list.  For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the
SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code
in this case.

To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820
chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a
plain insane e820 implementation.  However, we need to make the test
for CF = 1 before the SMAP check.

This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the

x86/lguest: fix pgdir pmd index calculation

Hi all,

Beginning from commits close to v2.6.25-rc2, running lguest always oopses
the host kernel. Oops is at [1].

Bisection led to the following commit:

commit 37cc8d7f963ba2deec29c9b68716944516a3244f

    x86/early_ioremap: don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir

    At the early stages of boot, before the kernel pagetable has been
    fully initialized, a Xen kernel will still be running off the
    Xen-provided pagetables rather than swapper_pg_dir[].  Therefore,
    readback cr3 to determine the base of the pagetable rather than
    assuming swapper_pg_dir[].

 static inline pmd_t * __init early_ioremap_pmd(unsigned long addr)
 {
- pgd_t *pgd = &swapper_pg_dir[pgd_index(addr)];
+ /* Don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir at this point */
+ pgd_t *base = __va(read_cr3());
+ pgd_t *pgd = &base[pgd_index(addr)];
  pud_t *pud = pud_offset(pgd, addr);
  pmd_t *pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);

Trying to analyze the problem, it seems on the guest side of lguest,
%cr3 has a different value from &swapper_pg-dir (which
is AFAIK fine on a pravirt guest):

Putting some debugging messages in early_ioremap_pmd:

/* Appears 3 times */
[    0.000000] ***************************
[    0.000000] __va(%cr3) = c0000000, &swapper_pg_dir = c02cc000
[    0.000000] ***************************

After 8 hours of debugging and staring on lguest code, I noticed something
strange in paravirt_ops->set_pmd hypercall invocation:

static void lguest_set_pmd(pmd_t *pmdp, pmd_t pmdval)
{
*pmdp = pmdval;
lazy_hcall(LHCALL_SET_PMD, __pa(pmdp)&PAGE_MASK,
   (__pa(pmdp)&(PAGE_SIZE-1))/4, 0);
}

The first hcall parameter is global pgdir which looks fine. The second
parameter is the pmd index in the pgdir which is suspectful.

AFAIK, calculating the index of pmd does not need a divisoin over four.
Removing the division made lguest work fine again . Patch is at [2].

I am not sure why the division over four existed in the first place. It
seems bogus, maybe the Xen patch just made the problem appear ?

[2]: The patch:

[PATCH] lguest: fix pgdir pmd index cacluation

Remove an error in index calculation which leads to removing
a not existing shadow page table (leading to a Null dereference).

libata-pmp: clear hob for pmp register accesses

This behavior has been confirmed by Marvell with a SATA analyzer.
The Marvell port-multiplier apparently likes to see clean HOB
information when accessing PMP registers.

Since sata_mv uses PIO shadow register access, this doesn't happen
automatically, as it might in a more purely FIS-based driver (eg. ahci).

One way to fix this is to flag these commands with ATA_TFLAG_LBA48,
forcing libata to write out the HOB fields with known (zero) values.

libata: automatically use DMADIR if drive/bridge requires it

Back in 2.6.17-rc2, a libata module parameter was added for atapi_dmadir.

That's nice, but most SATA devices which need it will tell us about it
in their IDENTIFY PACKET response, as bit-15 of word-62 of the
returned data (as per ATA7, ATA8 specifications).

So for those which specify it, we should automatically use the DMADIR bit.
Otherwise, disc writing will fail by default on many SATA-ATAPI drives.

This patch adds ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR and make ata_dev_configure() set it
if atapi_dmadir is set or identify data indicates DMADIR is necessary.
atapi_xlat() is converted to check ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR before setting
DMADIR.

Original patch is from Mark Lord.

Add memory barrier semantics to wake_up() & co

Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures,
the traditional sequence of

set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
if (CONDITION)
return;
schedule();

is racy wrt another CPU doing

CONDITION = 1;
wake_up_process(p);

because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating
setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION
variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side.

Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and
sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other
architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier,
but that is not generally guaranteed.  The write that sets CONDITION
could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock.

However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the
writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt
the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old
state).

This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in
practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will
make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the
spinlock already gave the required protection).

X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on X86_64
ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32
ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32
So X86_64_ACPI_NUMA implies SPARSEMEM, right?

So we can mark the stack of functions __init for !SPARSEMEM, but we must mark
them __meminit for SPARSEMEM configurations.  This is ok, because then the
calls to alloc_bootmem_node are also avoided.

Compile-tested on:
silly minimal config

defconfig x86_64
defconfig x86_64 -HIBERNATION +MEMORY_HOTPLUG

kernel-doc: fix function-pointer-parameter parsing

When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused
by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c.

The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..."
in combination with:
Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter ''

The function pointers are defined without a * i.e.
int (drv_callback)(struct request *)

The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't.

This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of
function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ?
The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c.

However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter
description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't
normally.

I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal
form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed
kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code
that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it
should not be used and will removed at some point).

Thomas Gleixner [Sat, 23 Feb 2008 23:23:57 +0000 (15:23 -0800)]
futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionality

Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic().  The default
implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the
futex guts.

Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless
loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support.

Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would
add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code.  It
is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to
register robust lists.

Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already
architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support.

Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization
code.  This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled.

On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime
CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features.

On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and
the PI/robust features are enabled.

The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked,
when the detection fails.

16 years agouml: fix FP register corruption
Jeff Dike [Sat, 23 Feb 2008 23:23:49 +0000 (15:23 -0800)]
uml: fix FP register corruption

Commit ee3d9bd4de1ed93d2a7ee41c331ed30a1c7b8acd ("uml: simplify SIGSEGV
handling"), while greatly simplifying the kernel SIGSEGV handler that
runs in the process address space, introduced a bug which corrupts FP
state in the process.

Previously, the SIGSEGV handler called the sigreturn system call by hand - it
couldn't return through the restorer provided to it because that could try to
call the libc restorer which likely wouldn't exist in the process address
space.  So, it blocked off some signals, including SIGUSR1, on entry to the
SIGSEGV handler, queued a SIGUSR1 to itself, and invoked sigreturn.  The
SIGUSR1 was delivered, and was visible to the UML kernel after sigreturn
finished.

The commit eliminated the signal masking and the call to sigreturn.  The
handler simply hits itself with a SIGTRAP to let the UML kernel know that it
is finished.  UML then restores the process registers, which effectively
longjmps the process out of the signal handler, skipping sigreturn's restoring
of register state and the signal mask.

The bug is that the host apparently sets used_fp to 0 when it saves the
process FP state in the sigcontext on the process signal stack.  Thus, when
the process is longjmped out of the handler, its FP state is corrupt because
it wasn't saved on the context switch to the UML kernel.

This manifested itself as sleep hanging.  For some reason, sleep uses floating
point in order to calculate the sleep interval.  When a page fault corrupts
its FP state, it is faked into essentially sleeping forever.

Ned Forrester [Sat, 23 Feb 2008 23:23:40 +0000 (15:23 -0800)]
spi: pxa2xx_spi clock polarity fix

Fixes a sequencing bug in spi driver pxa2xx_spi.c in which the chip select
for a transfer may be asserted before the clock polarity is set on the
interface.  As a result of this bug, the clock signal may have the wrong
polarity at transfer start, so it may need to make an extra half transition
before the intended clock/data signals begin.  (This probably means all
transfers are one bit out of sequence.)

This only occurs on the first transfer following a change in clock polarity
in systems using more than one more than one such polarity.  The fix
assures that the clock mode is properly set before asserting chip select.

This bug was introduced in a patch merged on 2006/12/10, kernel 2.6.20.
The patch defines an additional bit in: include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/regs-ssp.h
for 2.6.25 and newer kernels but this addition must be made in:
include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/pxa-regs.h for kernels between 2.6.20 and 2.6.24,
inclusive

Atsushi Nemoto [Sat, 23 Feb 2008 23:23:39 +0000 (15:23 -0800)]
atmel_spi: fix clock polarity

The atmel_spi driver does not initialize clock polarity correctly (except for
at91rm9200 CS0 channel) in some case.

The atmel_spi driver uses gpio-controlled chipselect.  OTOH spi clock signal
is controlled by CSRn.CPOL bit, but this register controls clock signal
correctly only in 'real transfer' duration.  At the time of cs_activate()
call, CSRn.CPOL will be initialized correctly, but the controller do not know
which channel is to be used next, so clock signal will stay at the inactive
state of last transfer.  If clock polarity of new transfer and last transfer
was differ, new transfer will start with wrong clock signal state.

For example, if you started SPI MODE 2 or 3 transfer after SPI MODE 0 or 1
transfer, the clock signal state at the assertion of chipselect will be low.
Of course this will violates SPI transfer.

This patch is short term solution for this problem.  It makes all CSRn.CPOL
match for the transfer before activating chipselect.  For longer term, the
best fix might be to let NPCS0 stay selected permanently in MR and overwrite
CSR0 with to the new slave's settings before asserting CS.
