x86: disable X86_PTRACE_BTS
|
|
there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28:
config X86_PTRACE_BTS
bool "Branch Trace Store"
it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into
a new task without clearing it.
Fixes exist but they came too late:
c5dee61: x86, bts: memory accounting
bf53de9: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling
and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not
tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and
reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS
facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code.

flush_tlb_mm's "optimized" uniprocessor case of allocating a new

Impact: fix deadlock
This is in response to the following bug report:
Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100
Subject : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L
Submitter : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de>
Date : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old)
Handled-By : Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com>
[ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ]
I think I might have a logical explanation why the system:
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100)
might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time.
(1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is
taken;
(2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer
ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd
think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should
be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem
logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with
memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of
the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a
deadlock.
Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same
version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this
issue has never popped up.
I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the
2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock...").
In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

This patch fixes a long-standing performance bug in classic RCU that
results in massive internal-to-RCU lock contention on systems with
more than a few hundred CPUs. Although this patch creates a separate
flavor of RCU for ease of review and patch maintenance, it is intended
to replace classic RCU.
This patch still handles stress better than does mainline, so I am still
calling it ready for inclusion. This patch is against the -tip tree.
Nevertheless, experience on an actual 1000+ CPU machine would still be
most welcome.
Most of the changes noted below were found while creating an rcutiny
(which should permit ejecting the current rcuclassic) and while doing
detailed line-by-line documentation.
Updates from v9 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/2/334):
o Fixes from remainder of line-by-line code walkthrough,
including comment spelling, initialization, undesirable
narrowing due to type conversion, removing redundant memory
barriers, removing redundant local-variable initialization,
and removing redundant local variables.
I do not believe that any of these fixes address the CPU-hotplug
issues that Andi Kleen was seeing, but please do give it a whirl
in case the machine is smarter than I am.
A writeup from the walkthrough may be found at the following
URL, in case you are suffering from terminal insomnia or
masochism:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/paulmck/tmp/rcutree-walkthrough.2008.12.16a.pdf
o Made rcutree tracing use seq_file, as suggested some time
ago by Lai Jiangshan.
o Added a .csv variant of the rcudata debugfs trace file, to allow
people having thousands of CPUs to drop the data into
a spreadsheet. Tested with oocalc and gnumeric. Updated
documentation to suit.
Updates from v8 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/15/139):
o Fix a theoretical race between grace-period initialization and
force_quiescent_state() that could occur if more than three
jiffies were required to carry out the grace-period
initialization. Which it might, if you had enough CPUs.
o Apply Ingo's printk-standardization patch.
o Substitute local variables for repeated accesses to global
variables.
o Fix comment misspellings and redundant (but harmless) increments
of ->n_rcu_pending (this latter after having explicitly added it).
o Apply checkpatch fixes.
Updates from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/10/291):
o Fixed a number of problems noted by Gautham Shenoy, including
the cpu-stall-detection bug that he was having difficulty
convincing me was real. ;-)
o Changed cpu-stall detection to wait for ten seconds rather than
three in order to reduce false positive, as suggested by Ingo
Molnar.
o Produced a design document (http://lwn.net/Articles/305782/).
The act of writing this document uncovered a number of both
theoretical and "here and now" bugs as noted below.
o Fix dynticks_nesting accounting confusion, simplify WARN_ON()
condition, fix kerneldoc comments, and add memory barriers
in dynticks interface functions.
o Add more data to tracing.
o Remove unused "rcu_barrier" field from rcu_data structure.
o Count calls to rcu_pending() from scheduling-clock interrupt
to use as a surrogate timebase should jiffies stop counting.
o Fix a theoretical race between force_quiescent_state() and
grace-period initialization. Yes, initialization does have to
go on for some jiffies for this race to occur, but given enough
CPUs...
Updates from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/23/448):
o Fix a number of checkpatch.pl complaints.
o Apply review comments from Ingo Molnar and Lai Jiangshan
on the stall-detection code.
o Fix several bugs in !CONFIG_SMP builds.
o Fix a misspelled config-parameter name so that RCU now announces
at boot time if stall detection is configured.
o Run tests on numerous combinations of configurations parameters,
which after the fixes above, now build and run correctly.
Updates from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/15/92, bad subject line):
o Fix a compiler error in the !CONFIG_FANOUT_EXACT case (blew a
changeset some time ago, and finally got around to retesting
this option).
o Fix some tracing bugs in rcupreempt that caused incorrect
totals to be printed.
o I now test with a more brutal random-selection online/offline
script (attached). Probably more brutal than it needs to be
on the people reading it as well, but so it goes.
o A number of optimizations and usability improvements:
o Make rcu_pending() ignore the grace-period timeout when
there is no grace period in progress.
o Make force_quiescent_state() avoid going for a global
lock in the case where there is no grace period in
progress.
o Rearrange struct fields to improve struct layout.
o Make call_rcu() initiate a grace period if RCU was
idle, rather than waiting for the next scheduling
clock interrupt.
o Invoke rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() only when
idle, as suggested by Andi Kleen. I still don't
completely trust this change, and might back it out.
o Make CONFIG_RCU_TRACE be the single config variable
manipulated for all forms of RCU, instead of the prior
confusion.
o Document tracing files and formats for both rcupreempt
and rcutree.
Updates from v4 for those missing v5 given its bad subject line:
o Separated dynticks interface so that NMIs and irqs call separate
functions, greatly simplifying it. In particular, this code
no longer requires a proof of correctness. ;-)
o Separated dynticks state out into its own per-CPU structure,
avoiding the duplicated accounting.
o The case where a dynticks-idle CPU runs an irq handler that
invokes call_rcu() is now correctly handled, forcing that CPU
out of dynticks-idle mode.
o Review comments have been applied (thank you all!!!).
For but one example, fixed the dynticks-ordering issue that
Manfred pointed out, saving me much debugging. ;-)
o Adjusted rcuclassic and rcupreempt to handle dynticks changes.
Attached is an updated patch to Classic RCU that applies a hierarchy,
greatly reducing the contention on the top-level lock for large machines.
This passes 10-hour concurrent rcutorture and online-offline testing on
128-CPU ppc64 without dynticks enabled, and exposes some timekeeping
bugs in presence of dynticks (exciting working on a system where
"sleep 1" hangs until interrupted...), which were fixed in the
2.6.27 kernel. It is getting more reliable than mainline by some
measures, so the next version will be against -tip for inclusion.
See also Manfred Spraul's recent patches (or his earlier work from
2004 at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=108546384711797&w=2).
We will converge onto a common patch in the fullness of time, but are
currently exploring different regions of the design space. That said,
I have already gratefully stolen quite a few of Manfred's ideas.
This patch provides CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, which controls the bushiness
of the RCU hierarchy. Defaults to 32 on 32-bit machines and 64 on
64-bit machines. If CONFIG_NR_CPUS is less than CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT,
there is no hierarchy. By default, the RCU initialization code will
adjust CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT to balance the hierarchy, so strongly NUMA
architectures may choose to set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to disable
this balancing, allowing the hierarchy to be exactly aligned to the
underlying hardware. Up to two levels of hierarchy are permitted
(in addition to the root node), allowing up to 16,384 CPUs on 32-bit
systems and up to 262,144 CPUs on 64-bit systems. I just know that I
am going to regret saying this, but this seems more than sufficient
for the foreseeable future. (Some architectures might wish to set
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4, which would limit such architectures to 64 CPUs.
If this becomes a real problem, additional levels can be added, but I
doubt that it will make a significant difference on real hardware.)
In the common case, a given CPU will manipulate its private rcu_data
structure and the rcu_node structure that it shares with its immediate
neighbors. This can reduce both lock and memory contention by multiple
orders of magnitude, which should eliminate the need for the strange
manipulations that are reported to be required when running Linux on
very large systems.
Some shortcomings:
o More bugs will probably surface as a result of an ongoing
line-by-line code inspection.
Patches will be provided as required.
o There are probably hangs, rcutorture failures, &c. Seems
quite stable on a 128-CPU machine, but that is kind of small
compared to 4096 CPUs. However, seems to do better than
mainline.
Patches will be provided as required.
o The memory footprint of this version is several KB larger
than rcuclassic.
A separate UP-only rcutiny patch will be provided, which will
reduce the memory footprint significantly, even compared
to the old rcuclassic. One such patch passes light testing,
and has a memory footprint smaller even than rcuclassic.
Initial reaction from various embedded guys was "it is not
worth it", so am putting it aside.

Impact: fix disabled MCE after resume
Don't prevent multiple initialization of MCEs.
Back from early prehistory mcheck_init() has a reentry check. Presumably
that was needed in very old kernels to prevent it entering twice.
But as Andreas points out this prevents CPU hotplug (and therefore resume)
to correctly reinitialize MCEs when a AP boots again after being
offlined.
Just drop the check.

Commit d015fe995 'powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt'
has turned a rare failure to kexec on QS22 into a reproducible
error, which we have now analysed.
The problem is that after a kexec, the MSIC hardware still points
into the middle of the old ring buffer. We set up the ring buffer
during reboot, but not the offset into it. On older kernels, this
would cause a storm of thousands of spurious interrupts after a
kexec, which would most of the time get dropped silently.
With the new code, we time out on each interrupt, waiting for
it to become valid. If more interrupts come in that we time
out on, this goes on indefinitely, which eventually leads to
a hard crash.
The solution in this commit is to read the current offset from
the MSIC when reinitializing it. This now works correctly, as
expected.

few broken out loops in do_init_bootmem() to fix it. That changed
the code ordering.
I think this bug is triggered by having reserved areas for a node
which are spanned by another node's contents. In the
mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code, we attempt to reserve the
area for a node before we have allocated the NODE_DATA() for that
nid. We do this since I reordered that loop. I suck.
This is causing crashes at bootup on some systems, as reported
by Jon Tollefson.
This may only present on some systems that have 16GB pages
reserved. But, it can probably happen on any system that is
trying to reserve large swaths of memory that happen to span other
nodes' contents.
This commit ensures that we do not touch bootmem for any node which
has not been initialized, and also removes a compile warning about
an unused variable.

It looks like most of the hugetlb code is doing the correct thing if
hugepages are not supported, but the mmap code is not. If we get into
the mmap code when hugepages are not supported, such as in an LPAR
which is running Active Memory Sharing, we can oops the kernel. This
fixes the oops being seen in this path.

powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix problem with _tlbil_va being interrupted
|

VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation. To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.
This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.

If it is reasonable to apply PTR_ERR to the result of calling clk_get, then
that result should first be tested with IS_ERR, not with !.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

An example calling sequence which we did see:
copy_user_highpage -> kmap_atomic -> flush_tlb_page -> _tlbil_va
We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the
tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did
a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt
the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values.
Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we
need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity.
