irq_data is protected by irq_desc->lock, so retrieving the irq chip from irq_data outside the lock is racy vs. an concurrent update. Move it into the lock held region.

Jin debugged a nasty cpu hotplug race which results in leaking a irq vector on the newly hotplugged cpu. cpu N cpu M native_cpu_up device_shutdown do_boot_cpu free_msi_irqs start_secondary arch_teardown_msi_irqs smp_callin default_teardown_msi_irqs setup_vector_irq arch_teardown_msi_irq __setup_vector_irq native_teardown_msi_irq lock(vector_lock) destroy_irq install vectors unlock(vector_lock) lock(vector_lock) ---> __clear_irq_vector unlock(vector_lock) lock(vector_lock) set_cpu_online unlock(vector_lock) This leaves the irq vector(s) which are torn down on CPU M stale in the vector array of CPU N, because CPU M does not see CPU N online yet. There is a similar issue with concurrent newly setup interrupts. The alloc/free protection of irq descriptors does not prevent the above race, because it merily prevents interrupt descriptors from going away or changing concurrently. Prevent this by moving the call to setup_vector_irq() into the vector_lock held region which protects set_cpu_online(): cpu N cpu M native_cpu_up device_shutdown do_boot_cpu free_msi_irqs start_secondary arch_teardown_msi_irqs smp_callin default_teardown_msi_irqs lock(vector_lock) arch_teardown_msi_irq setup_vector_irq() __setup_vector_irq native_teardown_msi_irq install vectors destroy_irq set_cpu_online unlock(vector_lock) lock(vector_lock) __clear_irq_vector unlock(vector_lock) So cpu M either sees the cpu N online before clearing the vector or cpu N installs the vectors after cpu M has cleared it.

When I enable early_printk on a kernel, I cut and paste the console= input and add to earlyprintk parameter. But I notice recently that ktest has not been detecting triple faults. The way it detects it, is by seeing the kernel banner "Linux version .." with a different kernel version pop up. Then I noticed that early printk was no longer working on my console, which was why ktest was not seeing it. I bisected it down and it was added to 4.0 with this commit: ea9e9d80 ("Specify PCI based UART for earlyprintk") because it converted the simple_strtoul() that converts the baud number into a kstrtoul(). The problem with this is, I had as my baud rate, 115200n8 (acceptable for console=ttyS0), but because of the "n8", the kstrtoul() doesn't parse the baud rate and returns an error, which sets the baud rate to the default 9600. This explains the garbage on my screen. Now, earlyprintk= kernel parameter does not say it accepts that format. Thus, one answer would simply be me changing my kernel parameters to remove the "n8" since it isn't parsed anyway. But I wonder if other people run into this, and it seems strange that the two consoles for serial accepts different input. I could also extend this to have earlyprintk do something with that "n8" or whatever it has and have it match the console parsing (which, BTW, still uses simple_strtoul(), as I guess it has to). This patch just makes my old kernel parameter parsing work like it use to. Although, simple_strtoull() is considered obsolete, it is the only standard string parsing function that parses a number that is attached to text. Ironically, commit ea9e9d80 also added several calls to simple_strtoul()!

As we alloc pages with GFP_KERNEL in init_espfix_ap() which is called before we enable local irqs, so the lockdep sub-system would (correctly) trigger a warning about the potentially blocking API. So we allocate them on the boot CPU side when the secondary CPU is brought up by the boot CPU, and hand them over to the secondary CPU. And we use alloc_pages_node() with the secondary CPU's node, to make sure the espfix stack is NUMA-local to the CPU that is going to use it.

Currently KASAN shadow region page tables created without respect of physical offset (phys_base). This causes kernel halt when phys_base is not zero. So let's initialize KASAN shadow region page tables in kasan_early_init() using __pa_nodebug() which considers phys_base. This patch also separates x86_64_start_kernel() from KASAN low level details by moving kasan_map_early_shadow(init_level4_pgt) into kasan_early_init(). Remove the comment before clear_bss() which stopped bringing much profit to the code readability. Otherwise describing all the new order dependencies would be too verbose.

Currently x86_64_start_kernel() has two KASAN related function calls. The first call maps shadow to early_level4_pgt, the second maps shadow to init_level4_pgt. If we move clear_page(init_level4_pgt) earlier, we could hide KASAN low level detail from generic x86_64 initialization code. The next patch will do it.

Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning") thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing out the list pointers and removed it. But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further). So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling (which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc()) This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong An.

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of different areas. The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric drivers tree-wide. There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a completely lockless code-path. It also removes the original hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint. The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes. The highlights include: - Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi) - Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker (Christophe Vu-Brugier) - Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover) - Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch) - Add crc_t10dif_update common helper (akinobu + mkp) - Handle target-core odd SGL mapping for data transfer memory (akinobu) - Move transport ID handling into target-core (hch) - Move task tag into struct se_cmd + support 64-bit tags (bart) - Convert se_node_acl->device_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch + paulmck) - Convert se_portal_group->tpg_lun_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch + paulmck) - Simplify target backend driver registration (hch) - Consolidate + simplify target backend attribute implementations (hch + nab) - Subsume se_port + t10_alua_tg_pt_gp_member into se_lun (hch) - Drop lun_sep_lock for se_lun->lun_se_dev RCU usage (hch + nab) - Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter (nab) - Use 64-bit LUNs tree-wide (hannes) - Drop left-over TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT limit (hannes)" * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (76 commits) target: Bump core version to v5.0 target: remove target_core_configfs.h target: remove unused TARGET_CORE_CONFIG_ROOT define target: consolidate version defines target: implement WRITE_SAME with UNMAP bit using ->execute_unmap target: simplify UNMAP handling target: replace se_cmd->execute_rw with a protocol_data field target/user: Fix inconsistent kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic target: Send UA when changing LUN inventory target: Send UA upon LUN RESET tmr completion target: Send UA on ALUA target port group change target: Convert se_lun->lun_deve_lock to normal spinlock target: use 'se_dev_entry' when allocating UAs target: Remove 'ua_nacl' pointer from se_ua structure target_core_alua: Correct UA handling when switching states xen-scsiback: Fix compile warning for 64-bit LUN target: Remove TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT target: use 64-bit LUNs target: Drop duplicate + unused se_dev_check_wce target: Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter ...

Changing the memory window BAR mappings to write combining significantly boosts the performance. We will also use memcpy that uses non-temporal store, which showed performance improvement when doing non-cached memcpys.

This is a simple debugging driver that enables the doorbell and scratch pad registers to be read and written from the debugfs. This tool enables more complicated debugging to be scripted from user space. This driver may be used to test that your ntb hardware and drivers are functioning at a basic level.
