2012-10-27rcu: Fix unrecovered RCU user mode in syscall_trace_leave()Frederic Weisbecker
On x86-64 syscall exit, 3 non exclusive events may happen looping in the following order: 1) Check if we need resched for user preemption, if so call schedule_user() 2) Check if we have pending signals, if so call do_notify_resume() 3) Check if we do syscall tracing, if so call syscall_trace_leave() However syscall_trace_leave() has been written assuming it directly follows the syscall and forget about the above possible 1st and 2nd steps. Now schedule_user() and do_notify_resume() exit in RCU user mode because they have most chances to resume userspace immediately and this avoids an rcu_user_enter() call in the syscall fast path. So by the time we call syscall_trace_leave(), we may well be in RCU user mode. To fix this up, simply call rcu_user_exit() in the beginning of this function. This fixes some reported RCU uses in extended quiescent state.

2012-10-24x86/irq/ioapic: Check for valid irq_cfg pointer in ↵Dimitri Sivanich
smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt Posting this patch to fix an issue concerning sparse irq's that I raised a while back. There was discussion about adding refcounting to sparse irqs (to fix other potential race conditions), but that does not appear to have been addressed yet. This covers the only issue of this type that I've encountered in this area. A NULL pointer dereference can occur in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() if we haven't yet setup the irq_cfg pointer in the irq_desc.irq_data.chip_data. In create_irq_nr() there is a window where we have set vector_irq in __assign_irq_vector(), but not yet called irq_set_chip_data() to set the irq_cfg pointer. Should an IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR hit the cpu in question during this time, smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() will attempt to process the aforementioned irq, but panic when accessing irq_cfg. Only continue processing the irq if irq_cfg is non-NULL.

2012-10-24perf/x86: Enable overflow on Intel KNC with a custom knc_pmu_handle_irq()Vince Weaver
Although based on the Intel P6 design, the interrupt mechnanism for KNC more closely resembles the Intel architectural perfmon one. We can't just re-use that code though, because KNC has different MSR numbers for the status and ack registers. In this case we just cut-and paste from perf_event_intel.c with some minor changes, as it looks like it would not be worth the trouble to change that code to be MSR-configurable.

2012-10-24perf/x86: Remove cpuc->enable check on Intl KNC event enable/disableVince Weaver
x86_pmu.enable() is called from x86_pmu_enable() with cpuc->enabled set to 0. This means we weren't re-enabling the counters after a context switch. This patch just removes the check, as it should't be necessary (and the equivelent x86_ generic code does not have the checks). The origin of this problem is the KNC driver being based on the P6 one. The P6 driver also has this issue, but works anyway due to various lucky accidents.

2012-10-24perf/x86: Make Intel KNC use full 40-bit width of countersVince Weaver
Early versions of Intel KNC chips have a bug where bits above 32 were not properly set. We worked around this by only using the bottom 32 bits (out of 40 that should be available). It turns out this workaround breaks overflow handling. The buggy silicon will in theory never be used in production systems, so remove this workaround so we get proper overflow support.

2012-10-24perf/x86: Remove P6 cpuc->enabled checkVince Weaver
Between 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 the PMU code was made modular. The x86_pmu_enable() call was extended to disable cpuc->enabled and iterate the counters, enabling one at a time, before calling enable_all() at the end, followed by re-enabling cpuc->enabled. Since cpuc->enabled was set to 0, that change effectively caused the "val |= ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_ENABLE;" code in p6_pmu_enable_event() and p6_pmu_disable_event() to be dead code that was never called. This change removes this code (which was confusing) and adds some extra commentary to make it more clear what is going on.

2012-10-24x86/perf: Fix virtualization sanity checkAndre Przywara
In check_hw_exists() we try to detect non-emulated MSR accesses by writing an arbitrary value into one of the PMU registers and check if it's value after a readout is still the same. This algorithm silently assumes that the register does not contain the magic value already, which is wrong in at least one situation. Fix the algorithm to really do a read-modify-write cycle. This fixes a warning under Xen under some circumstances on AMD family 10h CPUs. The reasons in more details actually sound like a story from Believe It or Not!: First you need an AMD family 10h/12h CPU. These do not reset the PERF_CTR registers on a reboot. Now you boot bare metal Linux, which goes successfully through this check, but leaves the magic value of 0xabcd in the register. You don't use the performance counters, but do a reboot (warm reset). Then you choose to boot Xen. The check will be triggered with a recent Linux kernel as Dom0 again, trying to write 0xabcd into the MSR. Xen silently drops the write (expected), but the subsequent read will return the value in the register, which just happens to be the expected magic value.

2012-10-19xen/x86: don't corrupt %eip when returning from a signal handlerDavid Vrabel
In 32 bit guests, if a userspace process has %eax == -ERESTARTSYS (-512) or -ERESTARTNOINTR (-513) when it is interrupted by an event /and/ the process has a pending signal then %eip (and %eax) are corrupted when returning to the main process after handling the signal. The application may then crash with SIGSEGV or a SIGILL or it may have subtly incorrect behaviour (depending on what instruction it returned to). The occurs because handle_signal() is incorrectly thinking that there is a system call that needs to restarted so it adjusts %eip and %eax to re-execute the system call instruction (even though user space had not done a system call). If %eax == -514 (-ERESTARTNOHAND (-514) or -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK (-516) then handle_signal() only corrupted %eax (by setting it to -EINTR). This may cause the application to crash or have incorrect behaviour. handle_signal() assumes that regs->orig_ax >= 0 means a system call so any kernel entry point that is not for a system call must push a negative value for orig_ax. For example, for physical interrupts on bare metal the inverse of the vector is pushed and page_fault() sets regs->orig_ax to -1, overwriting the hardware provided error code. xen_hypervisor_callback() was incorrectly pushing 0 for orig_ax instead of -1. Classic Xen kernels pushed %eax which works as %eax cannot be both non-negative and -RESTARTSYS (etc.), but using -1 is consistent with other non-system call entry points and avoids some of the tests in handle_signal(). There were similar bugs in xen_failsafe_callback() of both 32 and 64-bit guests. If the fault was corrected and the normal return path was used then 0 was incorrectly pushed as the value for orig_ax.

From Borislav Petkov <bp@amd64.org>: Below is a RAS fix which reverts the addition of a sysfs attribute which we agreed is not needed, post-factum. And this should go in now because that sysfs attribute is going to end up in 3.7 otherwise and thus exposed to userspace; removing it then would be a lot harder.

450cc201038f3 ("x86/mce: Provide boot argument to honour bios-set CMCI threshold") added the bios_cmci_threshold sysfs attribute which was supposed to communicate to userspace tools that BIOS CMCI threshold has been honoured. However, this info is not of any importance to userspace - it should rather get the actual error count it has been thresholded already from MCi_STATUS[38:52]. So drop this before it becomes a used interface (good thing we caught this early in 3.7-rc1, right after the merge window closed). Cc: Naveen N.

When booting on a federated multi-server system (NumaScale), the processor Northbridge lookup returns NULL; add guards to prevent this causing an oops. On those systems, the northbridge is accessed through MMIO and the "normal" northbridge enumeration in amd_nb.c doesn't work since we're generating the northbridge ID from the initial APIC ID and the last is not unique on those systems. Long story short, we end up without northbridge descriptors.
