2014-03-07x86: fix compile error due to X86_TRAP_NMI use in asm filesLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
It's an enum, not a #define, you can't use it in asm files. Introduced in commit 5fa10196bdb5 ("x86: Ignore NMIs that come in during early boot"), and sadly I didn't compile-test things like I should have before pushing out. My weak excuse is that the x86 tree generally doesn't introduce stupid things like this (and the ARM pull afterwards doesn't cause me to do a compile-test either, since I don't cross-compile).

2014-03-07x86: Ignore NMIs that come in during early bootH. Peter Anvin1-1/+5
Don Zickus reports: A customer generated an external NMI using their iLO to test kdump worked. Unfortunately, the machine hung. Disabling the nmi_watchdog made things work. I speculated the external NMI fired, caused the machine to panic (as expected) and the perf NMI from the watchdog came in and was latched. My guess was this somehow caused the hang. ---- It appears that the latched NMI stays latched until the early page table generation on 64 bits, which causes exceptions to happen which end in IRET, which re-enable NMI. Therefore, ignore NMIs that come in during early execution, until we have proper exception handling.

2013-07-16x86: Make sure IDT is page alignedKees Cook1-15/+0
Since the IDT is referenced from a fixmap, make sure it is page aligned. Merge with 32-bit one, since it was already aligned to deal with F00F bug. Since bss is cleared before IDT setup, it can live there. This also moves the other *_idt_table variables into common locations. This avoids the risk of the IDT ever being moved in the bss and having the mapping be offset, resulting in calling incorrect handlers. In the current upstream kernel this is not a manifested bug, but heavily patched kernels (such as those using the PaX patch series) did encounter this bug. The tables other than idt_table technically do not need to be page aligned, at least not at the current time, but using a common declaration avoids mistakes. On 64 bits the table is exactly one page long, anyway.

2013-06-20x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepointsSeiji Aguchi1-0/+6
[Purpose of this patch] As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors are useful. http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html <snip> The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently running processes. There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events. The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state. <snip> On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting a value of instruction pointer. I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before. But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap. So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now. [Patch Description] Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events. But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events. In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events. So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit. so that we can enable them independently. - local_timer_vector - reschedule_vector - call_function_vector - call_function_single_vector - irq_work_entry_vector - error_apic_vector - thermal_apic_vector - threshold_apic_vector - spurious_apic_vector - x86_platform_ipi_vector Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows. - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq(). - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table. - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers. - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt(). This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons. - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled. - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging is disabled. In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.

2013-05-28x86-64, init: Fix a possible wraparound bug in switchover in head_64.SZhang Yanfei1-2/+4
In head_64.S, a switchover has been used to handle kernel crossing 1G, 512G boundaries. And commit 8170e6bed465b4b0c7687f93e9948aca4358a33b x86, 64bit: Use a #PF handler to materialize early mappings on demand said: During the switchover in head_64.S, before #PF handler is available, we use three pages to handle kernel crossing 1G, 512G boundaries with sharing page by playing games with page aliasing: the same page is mapped twice in the higher-level tables with appropriate wraparound. But from the switchover code, when we set up the PUD table: 114 addq $4096, %rdx 115 movq %rdi, %rax 116 shrq $PUD_SHIFT, %rax 117 andl $(PTRS_PER_PUD-1), %eax 118 movq %rdx, (4096+0)(%rbx,%rax,8) 119 movq %rdx, (4096+8)(%rbx,%rax,8) It seems line 119 has a potential bug there. For example, if the kernel is loaded at physical address 511G+1008M, that is 000000000 111111111 111111000 000000000000000000000 and the kernel _end is 512G+2M, that is 000000001 000000000 000000001 000000000000000000000 So in this example, when using the 2nd page to setup PUD (line 114~119), rax is 511. In line 118, we put rdx which is the address of the PMD page (the 3rd page) into entry 511 of the PUD table. But in line 119, the entry we calculate from (4096+8)(%rbx,%rax,8) has exceeded the PUD page. IMO, the entry in line 119 should be wraparound into entry 0 of the PUD table. The patch fixes the bug.

During early init, we would incorrectly set the NX bit even if the NX feature was not supported. Instead, only set this bit if NX is actually available and enabled. We already do very early detection of the NX bit to enable it in EFER, this simply extends this detection to the early page table mask.

2013-02-22x86-64: don't set the early IDT to point directly to 'early_idt_handler'Linus Torvalds1-0/+2
The code requires the use of the proper per-exception-vector stub functions (set up as the early_idt_handlers[] array - note the 's') that make sure to set up the error vector number. This is true regardless of whether CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is set or not. Why? The stack offset for the comparison of __KERNEL_CS won't be right otherwise, nor will the new check (from commit 8170e6bed465: "x86, 64bit: Use a #PF handler to materialize early mappings on demand") for the page fault exception vector.

2013-01-29x86, 64bit: Use a #PF handler to materialize early mappings on demandH. Peter Anvin1-83/+127
Linear mode (CR0.PG = 0) is mutually exclusive with 64-bit mode; all 64-bit code has to use page tables. This makes it awkward before we have first set up properly all-covering page tables to access objects that are outside the static kernel range. So far we have dealt with that simply by mapping a fixed amount of low memory, but that fails in at least two upcoming use cases: 1. We will support load and run kernel, struct boot_params, ramdisk, command line, etc. above the 4 GiB mark. 2. need to access ramdisk early to get microcode to update that as early possible. We could use early_iomap to access them too, but it will make code to messy and hard to be unified with 32 bit. Hence, set up a #PF table and use a fixed number of buffers to set up page tables on demand. If the buffers fill up then we simply flush them and start over. These buffers are all in __initdata, so it does not increase RAM usage at runtime. Thus, with the help of the #PF handler, we can set the final kernel mapping from blank, and switch to init_level4_pgt later. During the switchover in head_64.S, before #PF handler is available, we use three pages to handle kernel crossing 1G, 512G boundaries with sharing page by playing games with page aliasing: the same page is mapped twice in the higher-level tables with appropriate wraparound. The kernel region itself will be properly mapped; other mappings may be spurious. early_make_pgtable is using kernel high mapping address to access pages to set page table. -v4: Add phys_base offset to make kexec happy, and add init_mapping_kernel() - Yinghai -v5: fix compiling with xen, and add back ident level3 and level2 for xen also move back init_level4_pgt from BSS to DATA again. because we have to clear it anyway. - Yinghai -v6: switch to init_level4_pgt in init_mem_mapping. - Yinghai -v7: remove not needed clear_page for init_level4_page it is with fill 512,8,0 already in head_64.S - Yinghai -v8: we need to keep that handler alive until init_mem_mapping and don't let early_trap_init to trash that early #PF handler. So split early_trap_pf_init out and move it down. - Yinghai -v9: switchover only cover kernel space instead of 1G so could avoid touch possible mem holes. - Yinghai -v11: change far jmp back to far return to initial_code, that is needed to fix failure that is reported by Konrad on AMD systems. - Yinghai Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359058816-7615-12-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org Signed-off-by: H.

2011-12-21x86: Keep current stack in NMI breakpointsSteven Rostedt1-0/+4
We want to allow NMI handlers to have breakpoints to be able to remove stop_machine from ftrace, kprobes and jump_labels. But if an NMI interrupts a current breakpoint, and then it triggers a breakpoint itself, it will switch to the breakpoint stack and corrupt the data on it for the breakpoint processing that it interrupted. Instead, have the NMI check if it interrupted breakpoint processing by checking if the stack that is currently used is a breakpoint stack. If it is, then load a special IDT that changes the IST for the debug exception to keep the same stack in kernel context. When the NMI is done, it puts it back. This way, if the NMI does trigger a breakpoint, it will keep using the same stack and not stomp on the breakpoint data for the breakpoint it interrupted.

2009-09-18x86: convert to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.Tim Abbott1-1/+1
This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head code from ".text.head" to ".head.text". It also eliminates the ".text.head" output section (instead placing head code at the start of the .text output section), which should be harmless. This patch only changes the sections in the actual kernel, not those in the compressed boot loader.

2009-01-16x86: make pda a percpu variableTejun Heo1-2/+3
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] As pda is now allocated in percpu area, it can easily be made a proper percpu variable. Make it so by defining per cpu symbol from linker script and declaring it in C code for SMP and simply defining it for UP. This change cleans up code and brings SMP and UP closer a bit.

2009-01-16x86: fold pda into percpu area on SMPTejun Heo1-4/+11
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately. %gs points to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset. This patch folds pda into percpu area. Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40. To achieve this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu area. After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to point to the actual pda. This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0 already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas(). This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call sites. A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into per cpu area" patch.

Load the real address directly instead. This will help unifying percpu and pda handling later on. This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into per cpu area" patch.

2009-01-16x86: make percpu symbols zerobased on SMPTejun Heo1-1/+23
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S. A new PHDR is added as existing ones cannot contain sections near address zero. PERCPU_VADDR() also adds a new symbol __per_cpu_load which always points to the vaddr of the loaded percpu data.init region. The following adjustments have been made to accomodate the address change. * code to locate percpu gdt_page in head_64.S is updated to add the load address to the gdt_page offset. * __per_cpu_load is used in places where access to the init data area is necessary. * pda->data_offset is initialized soon after C code is entered as zero value doesn't work anymore.

OK, I've worked this out. Short version is that's it's a false alarm, and there was no real failure here. Long version: * I changed the code to create the physical mapping pagetables to reuse any existing mapping rather than replace it. Specifically, reusing an pud pointed to by the pgd caused this symptom to appear. * The specific PUD being reused is the one created statically in head_64.S, which creates an initial 1GB mapping. * That mapping doesn't have _PAGE_GLOBAL set on it, due to the inconsistency between __PAGE_* and PAGE_*. * The CPA test attempts to clear _PAGE_GLOBAL, and then checks to see that the resulting range is 1) shattered into 4k pages, and 2) has no _PAGE_GLOBAL. * However, since it didn't have _PAGE_GLOBAL on that range to start with, change_page_attr_clear() had nothing to do, and didn't bother shattering the range, * resulting in the reported messages The simple fix is to set _PAGE_GLOBAL in level2_ident_pgt. An additional fix to make CPA testing more robust by using some other pagetable bit (one of the unused available-to-software ones). This would solve spurious CPA test warnings under Xen which uses _PAGE_GLOBAL for its own purposes (ie, not under guest control). Also, we should revisit the use of _PAGE_GLOBAL in asm-x86/pgtable.h, and use it consistently, and drop MAKE_GLOBAL. The first time I proposed it it caused breakages in the very early CPA code; with luck that's all fixed now.

2008-07-08paravirt/x86, 64-bit: move __PAGE_OFFSET to leave a space for hypervisorEduardo Habkost1-5/+12
Set __PAGE_OFFSET to the most negative possible address + 16*PGDIR_SIZE. The gap is to allow a space for a hypervisor to fit. The gap is more or less arbitrary, but it's what Xen needs. When booting native, kernel/head_64.S has a set of compile-time generated pagetables used at boot time. This patch removes their absolutely hard-coded layout, and makes it parameterised on __PAGE_OFFSET (and __START_KERNEL_map).

i386 and x86_64 used two different schemes for maintaining the gdt. With this patch, x86_64 initial gdt table is defined in a .c file, same way as i386 is now.
