With -mmovbe enabled (implicit with -march=atom), this allows the
compiler to use the movbe instruction. This doesn't have a significant
effect on code size (unlike on PowerPC), because the movbe instruction
actually takes as many bytes to encode as a simple mov and a bswap. But
for Atom in particular I believe it should give a performance win over
the mov+bswap alternative. That was kind of why movbe was invented in
the first place, after all...
I've done basic functionality testing with IPv6 and Legacy IP, but no
performance testing. The EFI firmware on my test box unfortunately no
longer starts up.

We have historically hard-coded entry points in head.S just so it's easy
to build the executable/bzImage headers with references to them.
Unfortunately, this leads to boot loaders abusing these "known" addresses
even when they are *explicitly* told that they "should look at the ELF
header to find this address, as it may change in the future". And even
when the address in question *has* actually been changed in the past,
without fanfare or thought to compatibility.
Thus we have bootloaders doing stunningly broken things like jumping
to offset 0x200 in the kernel startup code in 64-bit mode, *hoping*
that startup_64 is still there (it has moved at least once
before). And hoping that it's actually a 64-bit kernel despite the
fact that we don't give them any indication of that fact.
This patch should hopefully remove the temptation to abuse internal
addresses in future, where sternly worded comments have not sufficed.
Instead of having hard-coded addresses and saying "please don't abuse
these", we actually pull the addresses out of the ELF payload into
zoffset.h, and make build.c shove them back into the right places in
the bzImage header.
Rather than including zoffset.h into build.c and thus having to rebuild
the tool for every kernel build, we parse it instead. The parsing code
is small and simple.
This patch doesn't actually move any of the interesting entry points, so
any offending bootloader will still continue to "work" after this patch
is applied. For some version of "work" which includes jumping into the
compressed payload and crashing, if the bzImage it's given is a 32-bit
kernel. No change there then.
[ hpa: some of the issues in the description are addressed or
retconned by the 2.12 boot protocol. This patch has been edited to
only remove fixed addresses that were *not* thus retconned. ]

When booting under OVMF we have precisely one GOP device, and it
implements the ConOut protocol.
We break out of the loop when we look at it... and then promptly abort
because 'first_gop' never gets set. We should set first_gop *before*
breaking out of the loop. Yes, it doesn't really mean "first" any more,
but that doesn't matter. It's only a flag to indicate that a suitable
GOP was found.
In fact, we'd do just as well to initialise 'width' to zero in this
function, then just check *that* instead of first_gop. But I'll do the
minimal fix for now (and for stable@).

Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol: add xloadflags and additional

live above the 4 GiB mark.
The xloadflags now communicates if this is a 64-bit kernel with the
legacy 64-bit entry point and which of the EFI handover entry points
are supported.
Avoid adding new read flags to loadflags because of claimed
bootloaders testing the whole byte for == 1 to determine bzImageness
at least until the issue can be researched further.

At the moment the MSR driver only relies upon file system
checks. This means that anything as root with any capability set
can write to MSRs. Historically that wasn't very interesting but
on modern processors the MSRs are such that writing to them
provides several ways to execute arbitary code in kernel space.
Sample code and documentation on doing this is circulating and
MSR attacks are used on Windows 64bit rootkits already.
In the Linux case you still need to be able to open the device
file so the impact is fairly limited and reduces the security of
some capability and security model based systems down towards
that of a generic "root owns the box" setup.
Therefore they should require CAP_SYS_RAWIO to prevent an
elevation of capabilities. The impact of this is fairly minimal
on most setups because they don't have heavy use of
capabilities. Those using SELinux, SMACK or AppArmor rules might
want to consider if their rulesets on the MSR driver could be
tighter.

The MSI specification has several constraints in comparison with
MSI-X, most notable of them is the inability to configure MSIs
independently. As a result, it is impossible to dispatch
interrupts from different queues to different CPUs. This is
largely devalues the support of multiple MSIs in SMP systems.
Also, a necessity to allocate a contiguous block of vector
numbers for devices capable of multiple MSIs might cause a
considerable pressure on x86 interrupt vector allocator and
could lead to fragmentation of the interrupt vectors space.
This patch overcomes both drawbacks in presense of IRQ remapping
and lets devices take advantage of multiple queues and per-IRQ
affinity assignments.

asmlinkage_protect() validly says that this doesn't guarantee
clobbering of the function arguments, using "m" constraints
rather than "g" ones reduces the risk (by making it less
attractive to the compiler to move those variables into
registers) and generally results in better code (because we know
the arguments are in memory anyway, and are frequently - if not
always - used just once, with the second [compiler visible] use
in asmlinkage_protect() itself being a fake one).

perf x86: revert 20b279 - require exclude_guest to use PEBS - kernel side
putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can
safely play with its stack. However a killed tracee can return from
ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means
that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee
does SAVE_REST again.
set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this
race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the
logic.
As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace()
call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the
debugger looks at it. Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we
can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths.
Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it
makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before
access_process_vm().
While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why
ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().

Patch
5a5a51db78 x86-32: Start out eflags and cr4 clean
... made x86-32 match x86-64 in that we initialize %eflags and %cr4
from scratch. This broke OLPC XO-1.5, because the XO enters the
kernel with paging enabled, which the kernel doesn't expect.
Since we no longer support 386 (the source of most of the variability
in %cr0 configuration), we can simply match further x86-64 and
initialize %cr0 to a fixed value -- the one variable part remaining in
%cr0 is for FPU control, but all that is handled later on in
initialization; in particular, configuring %cr0 as if the FPU is
present until proven otherwise is correct and necessary for the probe
to work.
To deal with the XO case sanely, explicitly disable paging in %cr0
before we muck with %cr3, %cr4 or EFER -- those operations are
inherently unsafe with paging enabled.
NOTE: There is still a lot of 386-related junk in head_32.S which we
can and should get rid of, however, this is intended as a minimal fix
whereas the cleanup can be deferred to the next merge window.

x86/xen : Fix the wrong check in pciback
xen/privcmd: Relax access control in privcmd_ioctl_mmap
This fixes CVE-2013-0190 / XSA-40
There has been an error on the xen_failsafe_callback path for failed
iret, which causes the stack pointer to be wrong when entering the
iret_exc error path. This can result in the kernel crashing.
In the classic kernel case, the relevant code looked a little like:
popl %eax # Error code from hypervisor
jz 5f
addl $16,%esp
jmp iret_exc # Hypervisor said iret fault
5: addl $16,%esp
# Hypervisor said segment selector fault
Here, there are two identical addls on either option of a branch which
appears to have been optimised by hoisting it above the jz, and
converting it to an lea, which leaves the flags register unaffected.
In the PVOPS case, the code looks like:
popl_cfi %eax # Error from the hypervisor
lea 16(%esp),%esp # Add $16 before choosing fault path
CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET -16
jz 5f
addl $16,%esp # Incorrectly adjust %esp again
jmp iret_exc
It is possible unprivileged userspace applications to cause this
behaviour, for example by loading an LDT code selector, then changing
the code selector to be not-present. At this point, there is a race
condition where it is possible for the hypervisor to return back to
userspace from an interrupt, fault on its own iret, and inject a
failsafe_callback into the kernel.
This bug has been present since the introduction of Xen PVOPS support
in commit 5ead97c84 (xen: Core Xen implementation), in 2.6.23.

Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
During some experiments with an external clock (in a FPGA), we saw that
the TSC clock drifted approx. 2.5ms per second.
This drift was caused by the current way of calculating the scale.
In our case cpu_khz had a value of 3292725. This resulted in a scale
value of 310. But when doing the calculation by hand it shows that the
actual value is 310.9886188491, so a value of 311 would be more precise.
With this change the value is rounded.

Commit 20b279 breaks compatiblity with older perf binaries when run with
precise modifier (:p or :pp) by requiring the exclude_guest attribute to be
set. Older binaries default exclude_guest to 0 (ie., wanting guest-based
samples) unless host only profiling is requested (:H modifier). The workaround
for older binaries is to add H to the modifier list (e.g., -e cycles:ppH -
toggles exclude_guest to 1). This was deemed unacceptable by Linus:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/12/570
Between family in town and the fresh snow in Breckenridge there is no time left
to be working on the proper fix for this over the holidays. In the New Year I
have more pressing problems to resolve -- like some memory leaks in perf which
are proving to be elusive -- although the aforementioned snow is probably why
they are proving to be elusive. Either way I do not have any spare time to work
on this and from the time I have managed to spend on it the solution is more
difficult than just moving to a new exclude_guest flag (does not work) or
flipping the logic to include_guest (which is not as trivial as one would
think).
So, two options: silently force exclude_guest on as suggested by Gleb which
means no impact to older perf binaries or revert the original patch which
caused the breakage.
This patch does the latter -- reverts the original patch that introduced the
regression. The problem can be revisited in the future as time allows.

It is easy to waste a bunch of time when one takes a 32-bit .config
from a test machine and try to build it on a faster 64-bit system, and
its existing setting of CONFIG_64BIT=n gets *changed* to match the
build host. Similarly, if one has an existing build tree it is easy
to trash an entire build tree that way.
This is because the default setting for $ARCH when discovered from
'uname' is one of the legacy pre-x86-merge values (i386 or x86_64),
which effectively force the setting of CONFIG_64BIT to match. We should
default to ARCH=x86 instead, finally completing the merge that we
started so long ago.
This patch preserves the behaviour of the legacy ARCH settings for commands
such as:
make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig
make ARCH=i386 randconfig
... since making the value of CONFIG_64BIT actually random in that situation
is not desirable.
In time, perhaps we can retire this legacy use of the old ARCH= values.
We already have a way to override values for *any* config option, using
$KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, so it could be argued that we don't necessarily need
to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} around as a special case just for overriding
CONFIG_64BIT.
We'd probably at least want to add a way to override config options from
the command line ('make CONFIG_FOO=y oldconfig') before we talk about doing
that though.

This patch adds user eqs exception hooks for async page fault page not
present code path, to exit the user eqs and re-enter it as necessary.
Async page fault is different from other exceptions that it may be
triggered from idle process, so we still need rcu_irq_enter() and
rcu_irq_exit() to exit cpu idle eqs when needed, to protect the code
that needs use rcu.
As Frederic pointed out it would be safest and simplest to protect the
whole kvm_async_pf_task_wait(). Otherwise, "we need to check all the
code there deeply for potential RCU uses and ensure it will never be
extended later to use RCU.".
However, We'd better re-enter the cpu idle eqs if we get the exception
in cpu idle eqs, by calling rcu_irq_exit() before native_safe_halt().
So the patch does what Frederic suggested for rcu_irq_*() API usage
here, except that I moved the rcu_irq_*() pair originally in
do_async_page_fault() into kvm_async_pf_task_wait().
That's because, I think it's better to have rcu_irq_*() pairs to be in
one function ( rcu_irq_exit() after rcu_irq_enter() ), especially here,
kvm_async_pf_task_wait() has other callers, which might cause
rcu_irq_exit() be called without a matching rcu_irq_enter() before it,
which is illegal if the cpu happens to be in rcu idle state.

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma
Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."
