The Intel Software Developer Manual describes bit 24 in the MCG_CAP MSR: MCG_SER_P (software error recovery support present) flag, bit 24 — Indicates (when set) that the processor supports software error recovery But only some models with this capability bit set will actually generate recoverable machine checks. Check the model name and set a synthetic capability bit. Provide a command line option to set this bit anyway in case the kernel doesn't recognise the model name.

A kernel page fault oops with the callstack below was observed when a read syscall was made to a pmem device after a huge amount (>512GB) of vmalloc ranges was allocated by ioremap() on a x86_64 system: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880840000ff8 IP: vmalloc_fault+0x1be/0x300 PGD c7f03a067 PUD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SM Call Trace: __do_page_fault+0x285/0x3e0 do_page_fault+0x2f/0x80 ? put_prev_entity+0x35/0x7a0 page_fault+0x28/0x30 ? memcpy_erms+0x6/0x10 ? schedule+0x35/0x80 ? pmem_rw_bytes+0x6a/0x190 [nd_pmem] ? schedule_timeout+0x183/0x240 btt_log_read+0x63/0x140 [nd_btt] : ? __symbol_put+0x60/0x60 ? kernel_read+0x50/0x80 SyS_finit_module+0xb9/0xf0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xa4 Since v4.1, ioremap() supports large page (pud/pmd) mappings in x86_64 and PAE. vmalloc_fault() however assumes that the vmalloc range is limited to pte mappings. vmalloc faults do not normally happen in ioremap'd ranges since ioremap() sets up the kernel page tables, which are shared by user processes. pgd_ctor() sets the kernel's PGD entries to user's during fork(). When allocation of the vmalloc ranges crosses a 512GB boundary, ioremap() allocates a new pud table and updates the kernel PGD entry to point it. If user process's PGD entry does not have this update yet, a read/write syscall to the range will cause a vmalloc fault, which hits the Oops above as it does not handle a large page properly. Following changes are made to vmalloc_fault(). 64-bit: - No change for the PGD sync operation as it handles large pages already. - Add pud_huge() and pmd_huge() to the validation code to handle large pages. - Change pud_page_vaddr() to pud_pfn() since an ioremap range is not directly mapped (while the if-statement still works with a bogus addr). - Change pmd_page() to pmd_pfn() since an ioremap range is not backed by struct page (while the if-statement still works with a bogus addr). 32-bit: - No change for the sync operation since the index3 PGD entry covers the entire vmalloc range, which is always valid. (A separate change to sync PGD entry is necessary if this memory layout is changed regardless of the page size.) - Add pmd_huge() to the validation code to handle large pages. This is for completeness since vmalloc_fault() won't happen in ioremap'd ranges as its PGD entry is always valid.

Signal delivery needs to know the sign of an interrupted syscall's return value in order to detect -ERESTART variants. Normally this works independently of bitness because syscalls internally return long. Under ptrace, however, this can break, and syscall_get_error is supposed to sign-extend regs->ax if needed. We were clearing TS_COMPAT too early, though, and this prevented sign extension, which subtly broke syscall restart under ptrace.

This catches a regression from the compat syscall rework. The 32-bit variant of this test currently fails. The issue is that, for a 32-bit tracer and a 32-bit tracee, GETREGS+SETREGS with no changes should be a no-op. It currently isn't a no-op if RAX indicates signal restart, because the high bits get cleared and the kernel loses track of the restart state.

Data corruption issues were observed in tests which initiated a system crash/reset while accessing BTT devices. This problem is reproducible. The BTT driver calls pmem_rw_bytes() to update data in pmem devices. This interface calls __copy_user_nocache(), which uses non-temporal stores so that the stores to pmem are persistent. __copy_user_nocache() uses non-temporal stores when a request size is 8 bytes or larger (and is aligned by 8 bytes). The BTT driver updates the BTT map table, which entry size is 4 bytes. Therefore, updates to the map table entries remain cached, and are not written to pmem after a crash. Change __copy_user_nocache() to use non-temporal store when a request size is 4 bytes. The change extends the current byte-copy path for a less-than-8-bytes request, and does not add any overhead to the regular path.

One of ftrace_caller_end and ftrace_return is redundant so unify them. Rename ftrace_return to ftrace_epilogue to mean that everything after that label represents, like an afterword, work which happens *after* the ftrace call, e.g., the function graph tracer for one. Steve wants this to rather mean "[a]n event which reflects meaningfully on a recently ended conflict or struggle." I can imagine that ftrace can be a struggle sometimes. Anyway, beef up the comment about the code contents and layout before ftrace_epilogue label.

This is a second attempt to make the improvements from c6f20629 ("x86/signal/64: Fix SS handling for signals delivered to 64-bit programs"), which was reverted by 51adbfbba5c6 ("x86/signal/64: Add support for SS in the 64-bit signal context"). This adds two new uc_flags flags. UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS will be set for all 64-bit signals (including x32). It indicates that the saved SS field is valid and that the kernel supports the new behavior. The goal is to fix a problems with signal handling in 64-bit tasks: SS wasn't saved in the 64-bit signal context, making it awkward to determine what SS was at the time of signal delivery and making it impossible to return to a non-flat SS (as calling sigreturn clobbers SS). This also made it extremely difficult for 64-bit tasks to return to fully-defined 16-bit contexts, because only the kernel can easily do espfix64, but sigreturn was unable to set a non-flag SS:ESP. (DOSEMU has a monstrous hack to partially work around this limitation.) If we could go back in time, the correct fix would be to make 64-bit signals work just like 32-bit signals with respect to SS: save it in signal context, reset it when delivering a signal, and restore it in sigreturn. Unfortunately, doing that (as I tried originally) breaks DOSEMU: DOSEMU wouldn't reset the signal context's SS when clearing the LDT and changing the saved CS to 64-bit mode, since it predates the SS context field existing in the first place. This patch is a bit more complicated, and it tries to balance a bunch of goals. It makes most cases of changing ucontext->ss during signal handling work as expected. I do this by special-casing the interesting case. On sigreturn, ucontext->ss will be honored by default, unless the ucontext was created from scratch by an old program and had a 64-bit CS (unfortunately, CRIU can do this) or was the result of changing a 32-bit signal context to 64-bit without resetting SS (as DOSEMU does). For the benefit of new 64-bit software that uses segmentation (new versions of DOSEMU might), the new behavior can be detected with a new ucontext flag UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS. To avoid compilation issues, __pad0 is left as an alias for ss in ucontext. The nitty-gritty details are documented in the header file. This patch also re-enables the sigreturn_64 and ldt_gdt_64 selftests, as the kernel change allows both of them to pass.

Signals are always delivered to 64-bit tasks with CS set to a long mode segment. In long mode, SS doesn't matter as long as it's a present writable segment. If SS starts out invalid (this can happen if the signal was caused by an IRET fault or was delivered on the way out of set_thread_area or modify_ldt), then IRET to the signal handler can fail, eventually killing the task. The straightforward fix would be to simply reset SS when delivering a signal. That breaks DOSEMU, though: 64-bit builds of DOSEMU rely on SS being set to the faulting SS when signals are delivered. As a compromise, this patch leaves SS alone so long as it's valid. The net effect should be that the behavior of successfully delivered signals is unchanged. Some signals that would previously have failed to be delivered will now be delivered successfully. This has no effect for x32 or 32-bit tasks: their signal handlers were already called with SS == __USER_DS. (On Xen, there's a slight hole: if a task sets SS to a writable *kernel* data segment, then we will fail to identify it as invalid and we'll still kill the task. If anyone cares, this could be fixed with a new paravirt hook.)

Laszlo explains why this is a good idea, 'This is because the pstore filesystem can be backed by UEFI variables, and (for example) a crash might dump the last kilobytes of the dmesg into a number of pstore entries, each entry backed by a separate UEFI variable in the above GUID namespace, and with a variable name according to the above pattern. Please see "drivers/firmware/efi/efi-pstore.c". While this patch series will not prevent the user from deleting those UEFI variables via the pstore filesystem (i.e., deleting a pstore fs entry will continue to delete the backing UEFI variable), I think it would be nice to preserve the possibility for the sysadmin to delete Linux-created UEFI variables that carry portions of the crash log, *without* having to mount the pstore filesystem.' There's also no chance of causing machines to become bricked by deleting these variables, which is the whole purpose of excluding things from the whitelist. Use the LINUX_EFI_CRASH_GUID guid and a wildcard '*' for the match so that we don't have to update the string in the future if new variable name formats are created for crash dump variables.

When GCC cannot do constant folding for this macro, it falls back to cpu_has(). But static_cpu_has() is optimal and it works at all times now. So use it and speedup the fallback case. Before we had this: mov 0x99d674(%rip),%rdx # ffffffff81b0d9f4 <boot_cpu_data+0x34> shr $0x2e,%rdx and $0x1,%edx jne ffffffff811704e9 <do_munmap+0x3f9> After alternatives patching, it turns into: jmp 0xffffffff81170390 nopl (%rax) ... callq ffffffff81056e00 <mpx_notify_unmap> ffffffff81170390: mov 0x170(%r12),%rdi Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Joerg Roedel <joro@8bytes.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1455578358-28347-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.deSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Update the mailing list used for development of support for ARM64 Renesas SoCs. This is a follow-up for a similar change for other Renesas SoCs and drivers uses by Renesas SoCs. The ARM64 SoC entry was not updated in that patch as it was not yet present in mainline. The motivation for the mailing list update is that Renesas SoCs are now much wider than the SH architecture and there is some desire from some for the linux-sh list to refocus on discussion of the work on the SH architecture.

Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger: "This includes the long awaited series to address a set of bugs around active I/O remote-port LUN_RESET, as well as properly handling this same case with concurrent fabric driver session disconnect -> reconnect. Note this set of LUN_RESET bug-fixes has been surviving extended testing on both v4.5-rc1 and v3.14.y code over the last weeks, and is CC'ed for stable as it's something folks using multiple ESX connected hosts with slow backends can certainly trigger.
