Currently the sigreturn compat code is copied to an offset in the vectors table. When using a BE kernel this data will be stored in the wrong endianess so when returning from a signal on a 32-bit BE system, arbitrary code will be executed. Instead of declaring the code inside a struct and copying that, use the assembler's .byte directives to store the code in the correct endianess regardless of platform endianess.

The arm64 port contains wrappers for arm32 syscalls that pass 64-bit values. These wrappers concatenate the two registers to hold a 64-bit value in a single X register. On BE, however, the lower and higher words are swapped. Create a new assembler macro, regs_to_64, that when on BE systems swaps the registers in the orr instruction.

This patch adds support for using PSCI CPU_OFF calls for CPU hotplug. With this code it is possible to hot unplug CPUs with "psci" as their boot-method, as long as there's an appropriate cpu_off function id specified in the psci node.

This patch adds the basic infrastructure necessary to support CPU_HOTPLUG on arm64, based on the arm implementation. Actual hotplug support will depend on an implementation's cpu_operations (e.g. PSCI). Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

With the advent of CPU_HOTPLUG, the enable-method property for CPU0 may tells us something useful (i.e. how to hotplug it back on), so we must read it along with all the enable-method for all the other CPUs. Even on UP the enable-method may tell us useful information (e.g. if a core has some mechanism that might be usable for cpuidle), so we should always read it. This patch factors out the reading of the enable method, and ensures that CPU0's enable method is read regardless of whether the kernel is built with SMP support.

The arm64 kernel has an internal holding pen, which is necessary for some systems where we can't bring CPUs online individually and must hold multiple CPUs in a safe area until the kernel is able to handle them. The current SMP infrastructure for arm64 is closely coupled to this holding pen, and alternative boot methods must launch CPUs into the pen, where they sit before they are launched into the kernel proper. With PSCI (and possibly other future boot methods), we can bring CPUs online individually, and need not perform the secondary_holding_pen dance. Instead, this patch factors the holding pen management code out to the spin-table boot method code, as it is the only boot method requiring the pen. A new entry point for secondaries, secondary_entry is added for other boot methods to use, which bypasses the holding pen and its associated overhead when bringing CPUs online. The smp.pen.text section is also removed, as the pen can live in head.text without problem. The cpu_operations structure is extended with two new functions, cpu_boot and cpu_postboot, for bringing a cpu into the kernel and performing any post-boot cleanup required by a bootmethod (e.g. resetting the secondary_holding_pen_release to INVALID_HWID). Documentation is added for cpu_operations. Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

For hotplug support, we're going to want a place to store operations that do more than bring CPUs online, and it makes sense to group these with our current smp_enable_ops. For cpuidle support, we'll want to group additional functions, and we may want them even for UP kernels. This patch renames smp_enable_ops to the more general cpu_operations, and pulls the definitions out of smp code such that they can be used in UP kernels. While we're at it, fix up instances of the cpu parameter to be an unsigned int, drop the init markings and rename the *_cpu functions to cpu_* to reduce future churn when cpu_operations is extended.

The functions in psci.c are only used from smp_psci.c, and smp_psci cannot function without psci.c. Additionally psci.c is built when !SMP, where it's expected that cpu_suspend may be useful. This patch unifies the two files, removing pointless duplication and paving the way for PSCI support in UP systems.

There are a few points in the arm64 booting document which are unclear (such as the initial state of secondary CPUs), and/or have not been documented (PSCI is a supported mechanism for booting secondary CPUs). This patch amends the arm64 boot document to better express the (existing) requirements, and to describe PSCI as a supported booting mechanism.

AKASHI Takahiro authored
In ftrace_syscall_enter(), syscall_get_arguments(..., 0, n, ...) if (i == 0) { <handle orig_x0> ...; n--;} memcpy(..., n * sizeof(args[0])); If 'number of arguments(n)' is zero and 'argument index(i)' is also zero in syscall_get_arguments(), none of arguments should be copied by memcpy(). Otherwise 'n--' can be a big positive number and unexpected amount of data will be copied. Tracing system calls which take no argument, say sync(void), may hit this case and eventually make the system corrupted. This patch fixes the issue both in syscall_get_arguments() and syscall_set_arguments().

The fix adds special handling for that case. - One of recent commits changed the export of acpi_bus_get_device() to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), which was technically correct but broke existing binary modules using that function including one in particularly widespread use. Change it back to EXPORT_SYMBOL(). - The intel_pstate driver sometimes fails to disable turbo if its no_turbo sysfs attribute is set. Fix from Srinivas Pandruvada. - One of recent cpufreq fixes forgot to update a check in cpufreq-cpu0 which still (incorrectly) treats non-NULL as non-error.

The current implementation of worker threads in Btrfs has races in worker stopping code, which cause all kinds of panics and lockups when running btrfs/011 xfstest in a loop. The problem is that btrfs_stop_workers is unsynchronized with respect to check_idle_worker, check_busy_worker and __btrfs_start_workers. E.g., check_idle_worker race flow: btrfs_stop_workers(): check_idle_worker(aworker): - grabs the lock - splices the idle list into the working list - removes the first worker from the working list - releases the lock to wait for its kthread's completion - grabs the lock - if aworker is on the working list, moves aworker from the working list to the idle list - releases the lock - grabs the lock - puts the worker - removes the second worker from the working list ...... btrfs_stop_workers returns, aworker is on the idle list FS is umounted, memory is freed ...... aworker is waken up, fireworks ensue With this applied, I wasn't able to trigger the problem in 48 hours, whereas previously I could reliably reproduce at least one of these races within an hour.
