      [IA64] Change default PSR.ac from '1' to '0' (Fix erratum #237) · c0b5a64d
      Tony Luck authored
      April 2014 Itanium processor specification update:
      
      http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/itanium/itanium-specification-update.html
      
      describes this erratum:
      
      =========================================================================
      237. Under a complex set of conditions, store to load forwarding for a
      sub 8-byte load may complete incorrectly
      
      Problem: A load instruction may complete incorrectly when a code sequence
      using 4-byte or smaller load and store operations to the same address
      is executed in combination with specific timing of all the following
      concurrent conditions: store to load forwarding, alignment checking
      enabled, a mis-predicted branch, and complex cache utilization activity.
      
      Implication: The affected sub 8-byte instruction may complete
      incorrectly resulting in unpredictable system behavior. There is an
      extremely low probability of exposure due to the significant number of
      complex microarchitectural concurrent conditions required to encounter
      the erratum.
      
      Workaround: Set PSR.ac = 0 to completely avoid the erratum. Disabling
      Hyper-Threading will significantly reduce exposure to the conditions
      that contribute to encountering the erratum.
      
      Status: See the Summary Table of Changes for the affected steppings.
      =========================================================================
      
      [Table of changes essentially lists all models from McKinley to Tukwila]
      
      The PSR.ac bit controls whether the processor will always generate
      an unaligned reference trap (0x5a00) for a misaligned data access
      (when PSR.ac=1) or if it will let the access succeed when running
      on a cpu that implements logic to handle some unaligned accesses.
      
      Way back in 2008 in commit b704882e
        [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
      we made the decision to always enable strict checking. We were
      already doing so in trap/interrupt context because the common
      preamble code set this bit - but the rest of supervisor code
      (and by inheritance user code) ran with PSR.ac=0.
      
      We now reverse that decision and set PSR.ac=0 everywhere in the
      kernel (also inherited by user processes). This will avoid the
      erratum using the method described in the Itanium specification
      update.  Net effect for users is that the processor will handle
      unaligned access when it can (typically with a tiny performance
      bubble in the pipeline ... but much less invasive than taking a
      trap and having the OS perform the access).

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
      
       1) Fix BPF filter validation of netlink attribute accesses, from
          Mathias Kruase.
      
       2) Netfilter conntrack generation seqcount not initialized properly,
          from Andrey Vagin.
      
       3) Fix comparison mask computation on big-endian in nft_cmp_fast(),
          from Patrick McHardy.
      
       4) Properly limit MTU over ipv6, from Eric Dumazet.
      
       5) Fix seccomp system call argument population on 32-bit, from Daniel
          Borkmann.
      
       6) skb_network_protocol() should not use hard-coded ETH_HLEN, instead
          skb->mac_len needs to be used.  From Vlad Yasevich.
      
       7) We have several cases of using socket based communications to
          implement a tunnel.  For example, some tunnels are encapsulations
          over UDP so we use an internal kernel UDP socket to do the
          transmits.
      
          These tunnels should behave just like other software devices and
          pass the packets on down to the next layer.
      
          Most importantly we want the top-level socket (eg TCP) that created
          the traffic to be charged for the SKB memory.
      
          However, once you get into the IP output path, we have code that
          assumed that whatever was attached to skb->sk is an IP socket.
      
          To keep the top-level socket being charged for the SKB memory,
          whilst satisfying the needs of the IP output path, we now pass in an
          explicit 'sk' argument.
      
          From Eric Dumazet.
      
       8) ping_init_sock() leaks group info, from Xiaoming Wang.
