|
| page-allocator: clear N_HIGH_MEMORY map before we set it again
|
| SRAT tables may contains nodes of very small size. The arch code may
| decide to not activate such a node. However, currently the early boot
| code sets N_HIGH_MEMORY for such nodes. These nodes therefore seem to be
| active although these nodes have no present pages.
|
| For 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too
unintentionally and incorrectly clears the cpuset.mems cgroup attribute on
an i386 kvm guest, meaning that cpuset.mems can not be used.
Fix this by only clearing node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] for 64bit only.
and need to do save/restore for that in find_zone_movable_pfn

This patch introduces a new sysctl:
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
which defaults to 0 (off).
When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.
The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.
This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.

Previous code made an assumption that the power on value of global
control MSR has enabled all fixed and general purpose counters properly.
However, this is not the case for certain Intel processors, such as
Atom - and it might also be firmware dependent.
Each enable bit in IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL is AND'ed with the
enable bits for all privilege levels in the respective IA32_PERFEVTSELx
or IA32_PERF_FIXED_CTR_CTRL MSRs to start/stop the counting of
respective counters. Counting is enabled if the AND'ed results is true;
counting is disabled when the result is false.
The end result is that all fixed counters are always disabled on Atom
processors because the assumption is just invalid.
Fix this by not initializing the ctrl-mask out of the global MSR,
but setting it to perf_counter_mask.

To support domain-isolation usages, the platform hardware must be
capable of uniquely identifying the requestor (source-id) for each
interrupt message. Without source-id checking for interrupt remapping
, a rouge guest/VM with assigned devices can launch interrupt attacks
to bring down anothe guest/VM or the VMM itself.
This patch adds source-id checking for interrupt remapping, and then
really isolates interrupts for guests/VMs with assigned devices.

The init_gbpages() function is conditionally called from
init_memory_mapping() function. There are two call-sites where
this 'after_bootmem' condition can be true: setup_arch() and
mem_init() via pci_iommu_alloc().
Therefore, it's safe to move the call to init_gbpages() to
setup_arch() as it's always called before mem_init().
This removes an after_bootmem use - paving the way to remove
all uses of that state variable.

According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the
trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than
PTE TLB. The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual
size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance
degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific
and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more
data.
This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting
which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing.
While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something
failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also,
kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized
quite some time ago.

lpage allocator aliases a PMD page for each cpu and returns whatever
is unused to the page allocator. When the pageattr of the recycled
pages are changed, this makes the two aliases point to the overlapping
regions with different attributes which isn't allowed and known to
cause subtle data corruption in certain cases.
This can be handled in simliar manner to the x86_64 highmap alias.
pageattr code should detect if the target pages have PMD alias and
split the PMD alias and synchronize the attributes.
pcpur allocator is updated to keep the allocated PMD pages map sorted
in ascending address order and provide pcpu_lpage_remapped() function
which binary searches the array to determine whether the given address
is aliased and if so to which address. pageattr is updated to use
pcpu_lpage_remapped() to detect the PMD alias and split it up as
necessary from cpa_process_alias().
Jan Beulich spotted the original problem and incorrect usage of vaddr
instead of laddr for lookup.
With this, lpage percpu allocator should work correctly. Re-enable

This counts when building sched domains in case NUMA information
is not available.
( See cpu_coregroup_mask() which uses llc_shared_map which in turn is
created based on cpu_llc_id. )
Currently Linux builds domains as follows:
(example from a dual socket quad-core system)
CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
domain 0: span 0-7 level CPU
groups: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
...
CPU7 attaching sched-domain:
domain 0: span 0-7 level CPU
groups: 7 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Ever since that is borked for multi-core AMD CPU systems.
This patch fixes that and now we get a proper:
CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
domain 0: span 0-3 level MC
groups: 0 1 2 3
domain 1: span 0-7 level CPU
groups: 0-3 4-7
...
CPU7 attaching sched-domain:
domain 0: span 4-7 level MC
groups: 7 4 5 6
domain 1: span 0-7 level CPU
groups: 4-7 0-3
This allows scheduler to assign tasks to cores on different sockets
(i.e. that don't share last level cache) for performance reasons.

The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see
commit 7f8189068726492950bf1a2dcfd9b51314560abf: "x86: don't use
'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and
end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy
about virtual address checking.
So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual
addresses:
- All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address
space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed
integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when
applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space.
- /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more
obvious when it transforms a file offset into a
(kernel-half) virtual address.
- Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to
be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX.
This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also
uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it
would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the
string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid
strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this.
So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we
already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'. Namely by just
checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the
rest. That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be
mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we
didn't, we'd have the address space hole).

Manually fix up trivial conflict in arch/x86/mm/fault.c
It's really not right to use 'access_ok()', since that is meant for the
normal "get_user()" and "copy_from/to_user()" accesses, which are done
through the TLB, rather than through the page tables.
Why? access_ok() does both too few, and too many checks. Too many,
because it is meant for regular kernel accesses that will not honor the
'user' bit in the page tables, and because it honors the USER_DS vs
KERNEL_DS distinction that we shouldn't care about in GUP. And too few,
because it doesn't do the 'canonical' check on the address on x86-64,
since the TLB will do that for us.
So instead of using a function that isn't meant for this, and does
something else and much more complicated, just do the real rules: we
don't want the range to overflow, and on x86-64, we want it to be a
canonical low address (on 32-bit, all addresses are canonical).

arch_acpi_processor_cleanup_pdc() in x86 and ia64 results in memory allocated
for _PDC objects that is never freed and will cause memory leak in case of
physical CPU remove and add. Patch fixes the memory leak by freeing the
objects soon after _PDC is evaluated.

Improve a few details in perfcounter call-chain recording that
makes use of fast-GUP:
- Use ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the pte value. ptes are fundamentally
racy and can be changed on another CPU, so we have to be careful
about how we access them. The PAE branch is already careful with
read-barriers - but the non-PAE and 64-bit side needs an
ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure the pte value is observed only once.
- make the checks a bit stricter so that we can feed it any kind of
cra^H^H^H user-space input ;-)

Before exposing upstream tools to a callchain-samples ABI, tidy it
up to make it more extensible in the future:
Use markers in the IP chain to denote context, use (u64)-1..-4095 range
for these context markers because we use them for ERR_PTR(), so these
addresses are unlikely to be mapped.
