The /sys/kernel/debug/zcore/mem interface delivers the memory of the old system with the CPU registers stored to the assigned locations in each prefix page. For the vector registers the prefix page of each CPU has an address of a 1024 byte save area at 0x11b0. But the /sys/kernel/debug/zcore/mem interface fails copy the vector registers saved at boot of the zfcpdump kernel into the dump image. Copy the saved vector registers of a CPU to the outout buffer if the memory area that is read via /sys/kernel/debug/zcore/mem intersects with the vector register save area of this CPU. Acked-by:

Pull more block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "I wasn't going to send off a new pull before next week, but the blk flush fix from Jan from the other day introduced a regression. It's rare enough not to have hit during testing, since it requires both a device that rejects the first flush, and bad timing while it does that. But since someone did hit it, let's get the revert into 4.4-rc3 so we don't have a released rc with that known issue. Apart from that revert, three other fixes: - From Christoph, a fix for a missing unmap in NVMe request preparation. - An NVMe fix from Nishanth that fixes data corruption on powerpc. - Also from Christoph, fix a list_del() attempt on blk-mq that didn't have a matching list_add() at timer start" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: Revert "blk-flush: Queue through IO scheduler when flush not required" block: fix blk_abort_request for blk-mq drivers nvme: add missing unmaps in nvme_queue_rq NVMe: default to 4k device page size

This reverts commit 1b2ff19e. Jan writes: -- Thanks for report! After some investigation I found out we allocate elevator specific data in __get_request() only for non-flush requests. And this is actually required since the flush machinery uses the space in struct request for something else. Doh. So my patch is just wrong and not easy to fix since at the time __get_request() is called we are not sure whether the flush machinery will be used in the end. Jens, please revert 1b2ff19e. Thanks! I'm somewhat surprised that you can reliably hit the race where flushing gets disabled for the device just while the request is in flight. But I guess during boot it makes some sense. -- So let's just revert it, we can fix the queue run manually after the fact. This race is rare enough that it didn't trigger in testing, it requires the specific disable-while-in-flight scenario to trigger.

This patch removes the vpid check when emulating nested invvpid instruction of type all-contexts invalidation. The existing code is incorrect because: (1) According to Intel SDM Vol 3, Section "INVVPID - Invalidate Translations Based on VPID", invvpid instruction does not check vpid in the invvpid descriptor when its type is all-contexts invalidation. (2) According to the same document, invvpid of type all-contexts invalidation does not require there is an active VMCS, so/and get_vmcs12() in the existing code may result in a NULL-pointer dereference. In practice, it can crash both KVM itself and L1 hypervisors that use invvpid (e.g. Xen). Signed-off-by:

Nishanth Aravamudan authored
We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power) is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control Entries). The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size, as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of 8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000). In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and implementation across all architectures in the next merge window. With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel will BUG within a few minutes.

If we call __kvm_hyp_panic while a guest context is active, we call __restore_sysregs before acquiring the system register values for the panic, in the process throwing away the PAR_EL1 value at the point of the panic.

We were incorrectly removing the active state from the physical distributor on the timer interrupt when the timer output level was deasserted. We shouldn't be doing this without considering the virtual interrupt's active state, because the architecture requires that when an LR has the HW bit set and the pending or active bits set, then the physical interrupt must also have the corresponding bits set. This addresses an issue where we have been observing an inconsistency between the LR state and the physical distributor state where the LR state was active and the physical distributor was not active, which shouldn't happen.

When running a 32bit guest under a 64bit hypervisor, the ARMv8 architecture defines a mapping of the 32bit registers in the 64bit space. This includes banked registers that are being demultiplexed over the 64bit ones. On exceptions caused by an operation involving a 32bit register, the HW exposes the register number in the ESR_EL2 register. It was so far understood that SW had to distinguish between AArch32 and AArch64 accesses (based on the current AArch32 mode and register number). It turns out that I misinterpreted the ARM ARM, and the clue is in D1.20.1: "For some exceptions, the exception syndrome given in the ESR_ELx identifies one or more register numbers from the issued instruction that generated the exception. Where the exception is taken from an Exception level using AArch32 these register numbers give the AArch64 view of the register." Which means that the HW is already giving us the translated version, and that we shouldn't try to interpret it at all (for example, doing an MMIO operation from the IRQ mode using the LR register leads to very unexpected behaviours). The fix is thus not to perform a call to vcpu_reg32() at all from vcpu_reg(), and use whatever register number is supplied directly. The only case we need to find out about the mapping is when we actively generate a register access, which only occurs when injecting a fault in a guest. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by:

The open coded tests for checking whether a PTE maps a page as uncached use a flawed '(pte_val(xxx) & CONST) != CONST' pattern, which is not guaranteed to work since the type of a mapping is not a set of mutually exclusive bits For HYP mappings, the type is an index into the MAIR table (i.e, the index itself does not contain any information whatsoever about the type of the mapping), and for stage-2 mappings it is a bit field where normal memory and device types are defined as follows: #define MT_S2_NORMAL 0xf #define MT_S2_DEVICE_nGnRE 0x1 I.e., masking *and* comparing with the latter matches on the former, and we have been getting lucky merely because the S2 device mappings also have the PTE_UXN bit set, or we would misidentify memory mappings as device mappings. Since the unmap_range() code path (which contains one instance of the flawed test) is used both for HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings, and considering the difference between the two, it is non-trivial to fix this by rewriting the tests in place, as it would involve passing down the type of mapping through all the functions. However, since HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings both deal with host physical addresses, we can simply check whether the mapping is backed by memory that is managed by the host kernel, and only perform the D-cache maintenance if this is the case.

Commit 296291cd (mm: make sendfile(2) killable) fixed an issue where sendfile(2) was doing a lot of tiny writes into a filesystem and thus was unkillable for a long time. However sendfile(2) can be (mis)used to issue lots of writes into arbitrary file descriptor such as evenfd or similar special file descriptors which never hit the standard filesystem write path and thus are still unkillable. E.g. the following example from Dmitry burns CPU for ~16s on my test system without possibility to be killed: int r1 = eventfd(0, 0); int r2 = memfd_create("", 0); unsigned long n = 1<<30; fallocate(r2, 0, 0, n); sendfile(r1, r2, 0, n); There are actually quite a few tests for pending signals in sendfile code however we data to write is always available none of them seems to trigger. So fix the problem by adding a test for pending signal into splice_from_pipe_next() also before the loop waiting for pipe buffers to be available. This should fix all the lockup issues with sendfile of the do-ton-of-tiny-writes nature. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by:

When establishing a thin device's discard limits we cannot rely on the underlying thin-pool device's discard capabilities (which are inherited from the thin-pool's underlying data device) given that DM thin devices must provide discard support even when the thin-pool's underlying data device doesn't support discards. Users were exposed to this thin device discard limits regression if their thin-pool's underlying data device does _not_ support discards. This regression caused all upper-layers that called the blkdev_issue_discard() interface to not be able to issue discards to thin devices (because discard_granularity was 0). This regression wasn't caught earlier because the device-mapper-test-suite's extensive 'thin-provisioning' discard tests are only ever performed against thin-pool's with data devices that support discards. Fix is to have thin_io_hints() test the pool's 'discard_enabled' feature rather than inferring whether or not a thin device's discard support should be enabled by looking at the thin-pool's discard_granularity. Fixes: 21607670 ("dm thin: disable discard support for thin devices if pool's is disabled") Reported-by:
