Decoding machine checks is CPU specific and so machine_check_generic doesn't do the right thing on 64bit chips. Luckily we never call into this code because we call ppc_md.machine_check_exception instead if available. Since we check cur_cpu_spec->machine_check before calling it, we may as well remove machine_check_generic from 64bit archs. Signed-off-by:

The FWNMI code uses a global buffer without any locks to read the RTAS error information. If two CPUs take a machine check at once then we will corrupt this buffer. Since most FWNMI rtas messages are not of the extended type, we can create a 64bit percpu buffer and use it where possible. If we do receive an extended RTAS log then we fall back to the old behaviour of using the global buffer. Signed-off-by:

Rework pseries machine check handler: - If MSR_RI isn't set, we cannot recover even if the machine check was fully recovered - Rename nonfatal to recovered - Handle RTAS_DISP_LIMITED_RECOVERY - Use BUS_MCEERR_AR instead of BUS_ADRERR - Don't check all the RTAS error log fields when receiving a synchronous machine check. Recent versions of the pseries firmware do not fill them in during a machine check and instead send a follow up error log with the detailed information. If we see a synchronous machine check, and we came from userspace then kill the task. Signed-off-by:

If a machine check comes from userspace we send a SIGBUS to the task and fail to printk anything. If we are taking machine checks due to bad hardware we want to know about it right away. Furthermore if we don't complain loudly then it will look a lot like a bug in the userspace application, potentially causing a lot of confusion. Signed-off-by:

Anton Blanchard authored
Newer versions of the System p firwmare send a partial RTAS error log in the machine check handler with a more detailed response appearing sometime later via check event. This means at machine check time we do not have enough information to ascertain exactly what went on. Furthermore, I have found the RTAS error logs in the machine check handler contain no useful information, so halting on them makes little sense. If we want to halt it would make more sense to do it following the error log received sometime later via check event. In light of this, never halt the error log in the pseries machine check handler.

We should disable ftrace during kexec, some of the tracers are very invasive and we do not want them going off while doing the low level work of swapping one kernel out for another.

When an interrupt occurs in userspace, we can call trace_hardirqs_on/off() With one level stack. But if we have irqsoff tracing enabled, it checks both CALLER_ADDR0 and CALLER_ADDR1. The second call goes two stack frames up. If this is from user space, then there may not exist a second stack.

When we create an alternative feature section, the else case must be the same size or smaller than the body. This is because when we patch the else case in we just overwrite the body, so there must be room. Up to now we just did this by inspection, but it's quite easy to enforce it in the assembler, so we should. The only change is to add the ifgt block, but that effects the alignment of the tabs and so the whole macro is modified. Also add a test, but #if 0 it because we don't want to break the build. Anyone who's modifying the feature macros should enable the test. Signed-off-by:

It turns out that some device drivers map pages from the ACPI NVS region during resume using ioremap(), which conflicts with ioremap_cache() used for mapping those pages by the NVS save/restore code in nvs.c.

Commit ca9b600b ("ACPI / PM: Make suspend_nvs_save() use acpi_os_map_memory()") attempted to prevent the code in osl.c and nvs.c from using different ioremap() variants by making the latter use acpi_os_map_memory() for mapping the NVS pages. However, that also requires acpi_os_unmap_memory() to be used for unmapping them, which causes synchronize_rcu() to be executed many times in a row unnecessarily and introduces substantial delays during resume on some systems. Instead of using acpi_os_map_memory() for mapping the NVS pages in nvs.c introduce acpi_os_ioremap() calling ioremap_cache() and make the code in both osl.c and nvs.c use it. Reported-by:

We have to test the cpu mask in the interrupt handler before checking the refs, otherwise we can start to follow an entry before its deleted and find it partially initailzed for the next trip. Presently we also clear the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies getting write access to the line. After the function is called we then decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure. However, this implies getting write access to the call function data before and after another the function is called. If we can assert that no smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing both writes with one cache line bounce. On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms. I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the information needed.

I noticed a failure where we hit the following WARN_ON in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt: if (!cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu, data->cpumask)) continue; data->csd.func(data->csd.info); refs = atomic_dec_return(&data->refs); WARN_ON(refs < 0); <------------------------- We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0. How can this be? It turns out commit 54fdade1 ("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault. It removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a rather complicated race. The problem comes about because: - The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue without any locking. - We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many. - We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next smp_call_function_many. Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back, and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between. We concentrate on how CPU C handles the calls: CPU A CPU B CPU C CPU D smp_call_function smp_call_function_interrupt walks call_function.queue sees data from CPU A on list smp_call_function smp_call_function_interrupt walks call_function.queue sees (stale) CPU A on list smp_call_function int clears last ref on A list_del_rcu, unlock smp_call_function reuses percpu *data A data->cpumask sees and clears bit in cpumask might be using old or new fn! decrements refs below 0 set data->refs (too late!) The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner is in the process of initialising it. The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC box (having 128 threads does help :) #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/init.h> #define ITERATIONS 100 static void do_nothing_ipi(void *dummy) { } static void do_ipis(struct work_struct *dummy) { int i; for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) smp_call_function(do_nothing_ipi, NULL, 1); printk(KERN_DEBUG "cpu %d finished\n", smp_processor_id()); } static struct work_struct work[NR_CPUS]; static int __init testcase_init(void) { int cpu; for_each_online_cpu(cpu) { INIT_WORK(&work[cpu], do_ipis); schedule_work_on(cpu, &work[cpu]); } return 0; } static void __exit testcase_exit(void) { } module_init(testcase_init) module_exit(testcase_exit) MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Anton Blanchard"); I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and ->refs. In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then ->refs _again_. Thanks to Milton Miller and Paul McKenney for helping to debug this issue.
