      x86: Fix kprobes build with non-gawk awk · 23637568
      Jonathan Nieder authored
      The instruction attribute table generator fails when run by mawk
      or original-awk:
      
       $ mawk -f arch/x86/tools/gen-insn-attr-x86.awk \
      	arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt > /dev/null
       Semantic error at 240: Second IMM error
       $ echo $?
       1
      
      Line 240 contains "c8: ENTER Iw,Ib", which indicates that this
      instruction has two immediate operands, the second of which is
      one byte.  The script loops through the immediate operands using
      a for loop.
      
      Unfortunately, there is no guarantee in awk that a for (variable
      in array) loop will return the indices in increasing order.
      Internally, both original-awk and mawk iterate over a hash table
      for this purpose, and both implementations happen to produce the
      index 2 before 1.  The supposed second immediate operand is more
      than one byte wide, producing the error.
      
      So loop over the indices in increasing order instead.  As a
      side-effect, with mawk this means the silly two-entry hash table
      never has to be built.

      x86: Split swiotlb initialization into two stages · 186a2502
      FUJITA Tomonori authored
      The commit f4780ca0 moves
      swiotlb initialization before dma32_free_bootmem(). It's
      supposed to fix a bug that the commit
      75f1cdf1 introduced, we
      initialize SWIOTLB right after dma32_free_bootmem so we wrongly
      steal memory area allocated for GART with broken BIOS earlier.
      
      However, the above commit introduced another problem, which
      likely breaks machines with huge amount of memory. Such a box
      use the majority of DMA32_ZONE so there is no memory for
      swiotlb.
      
      With this patch, the x86 IOMMU initialization sequence are:
      
      1. We set swiotlb to 1 in the case of (max_pfn > MAX_DMA32_PFN
         && !no_iommu). If swiotlb usage is forced by the boot option,
         we go to the step 3 and finish (we don't try to detect IOMMUs).
      
      2. We call the detection functions of all the IOMMUs. The
         detection function sets x86_init.iommu.iommu_init to the IOMMU
         initialization function (so we can avoid calling the
         initialization functions of all the IOMMUs needlessly).
      
      3. We initialize swiotlb (and set dma_ops to swiotlb_dma_ops) if
         swiotlb is set to 1.
      
      4. If the IOMMU initialization function doesn't need swiotlb
         (e.g. the initialization is sucessful) then sets swiotlb to zero.
      
      5. If we find that swiotlb is set to zero, we free swiotlb
         resource.

      nvram: Fix write beyond end condition; prove to gcc copy is safe · a01c7800
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      In nvram_write, first of all, correctly handle the case where the file
      pointer is already beyond the end; we should return EOF in that case.
      
      Second, make the logic a bit more explicit so that gcc can statically
      prove that the copy_from_user() is safe.  Once the condition of the
      beyond-end filepointer is eliminated, the copy is safe but gcc can't
      prove it, causing build failures for i386 allyesconfig.
      
      Third, eliminate the entirely superfluous variable "len", and just use
      the passed-in variable "count" instead.

      mm: Adjust do_pages_stat() so gcc can see copy_from_user() is safe · b9255850
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      Slightly adjust the logic for determining the size of the
      copy_form_user() in do_pages_stat(); with this change, gcc can see
      that the copying is safe.
      
      Without this, we get a build error for i386 allyesconfig:
      
      /home/hpa/kernel/linux-2.6-tip.urgent/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:213:
      error: call to ‘copy_from_user_overflow’ declared with attribute
      error: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct
      
      Unlike an earlier patch from Arjan, this doesn't introduce new
      variables; merely reshuffles the compare so that gcc can see that an
      overflow cannot happen.

      x86: Limit the number of processor bootup messages · 2eaad1fd
      Mike Travis authored
      When there are a large number of processors in a system, there
      is an excessive amount of messages sent to the system console.
      It's estimated that with 4096 processors in a system, and the
      console baudrate set to 56K, the startup messages will take
      about 84 minutes to clear the serial port.
      
      This set of patches limits the number of repetitious messages
      which contain no additional information.  Much of this information
      is obtainable from the /proc and /sysfs.   Some of the messages
      are also sent to the kernel log buffer as KERN_DEBUG messages so
      dmesg can be used to examine more closely any details specific to
      a problem.
      
      The new cpu bootup sequence for system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING:
      
      Booting Node   0, Processors  #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 Ok.
      Booting Node   1, Processors  #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 Ok.
      ...
      Booting Node   3, Processors  #56 #57 #58 #59 #60 #61 #62 #63 Ok.
      Brought up 64 CPUs
      
      After the system is running, a single line boot message is displayed
      when CPU's are hotplugged on:
      
          Booting Node %d Processor %d APIC 0x%x
      
      Status of the following lines:
      
          CPU: Physical Processor ID:		printed once (for boot cpu)
          CPU: Processor Core ID:		printed once (for boot cpu)
          CPU: Hyper-Threading is disabled	printed once (for boot cpu)

          CPU %d is now offline:		only if system_state == RUNNING

      x86, msr: Add support for non-contiguous cpumasks · 50542251
      Borislav Petkov authored
      The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied
      cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there
      like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core
      enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see
      http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268.
      
      This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU
      msr structs which are used on the respective cores.
      
      Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by
      the callers of the MSR accessors.

      It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable,
      without reserving it.
      
      So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of
      hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.

      x86, AMD: Fix stale cpuid4_info shared_map data in shared_cpu_map cpumasks · ebb682f5
      Prarit Bhargava authored
      The per_cpu cpuid4_info shared_map can contain stale data when CPUs are added
      and removed.
      
      The stale data can lead to a NULL pointer derefernce panic on a remove of a
      CPU that has had siblings previously removed.
      
      This patch resolves the panic by verifying a cpu is actually online before
      adding it to the shared_cpu_map, only examining cpus that are part of
      the same lower level cache, and by updating other siblings lowest level cache
      maps when a cpu is added.
