The ptep_establish macro is only used on user-level PTEs, for P->P mapping
changes. Since these always happen under protection of the pagetable lock,
the strong synchronization of a 64-bit cmpxchg is not needed, in fact, not
even a lock prefix needs to be used. We can simply instead clear the P-bit,
followed by a normal set. The write ordering is still important to avoid the
possibility of the TLB snooping a partially written PTE and getting a bad
mapping installed.

Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the
subsequent flush. This allows the two to be easily combined into a single
hypercall or paravirt-op. More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for
kmap_atomic. Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing
a mapping. This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries
which may still have valid TLB mappings. This is required for direct mode
hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when
changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page
table or descriptor table page). But it also provides some nicer semantics
for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale
mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the
cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when
two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

Remove ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty|young} from i386, and instead use the
dominating functions, ptep_clear_flush_{dirty|young}. This allows the TLB
page flush to be contained in the same macro, and allows for an eager
optimization - if reading the PTE initially returned dirty/accessed, we can
assume the fact that no subsequent update to the PTE which cleared accessed /
dirty has occurred, as the only way A/D bits can change without holding the
page table lock is if a remote processor clears them. This eliminates an
extra branch which came from the generic version of the code, as we know that
no other CPU could have cleared the A/D bit, so the flush will always be
needed.
We still export these two defines, even though we do not actually define
the macros in the i386 code:
#define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG
#define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_DIRTY
The reason for this is that the only use of these functions is within the
generic clear_flush functions, and we want a strong guarantee that there
are no other users of these functions, so we want to prevent the generic
code from defining them for us.

This is a the first of a series of patch-sets aiming at making kdump more
robust against stack overflows.
This patch set does the following:
* Add safe_smp_processor_id function to i386 architecture (this function was
inspired by the x86_64 function of the same name).
* Substitute "smp_processor_id" with the stack overflow-safe
"safe_smp_processor_id" in the reboot path to the second kernel.
This patch:
On the event of a stack overflow critical data that usually resides at the
bottom of the stack is likely to be stomped and, consequently, its use should
be avoided.
In particular, in the i386 and IA64 architectures the macro smp_processor_id
ultimately makes use of the "cpu" member of struct thread_info which resides
at the bottom of the stack. x86_64, on the other hand, is not affected by
this problem because it benefits from the use of the PDA infrastructure.
To circumvent this problem I suggest implementing "safe_smp_processor_id()"
(it already exists in x86_64) for i386 and IA64 and use it as a replacement
for smp_processor_id in the reboot path to the dump capture kernel. This is a
possible implementation for i386.

On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
regard to spinlocks and rw-locks. If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
lock (directed yield).
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
common code changes. Powerpc already does this.
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
_raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c. If the lock
could not be taken cpu_relax is called. A directed yield is not possible
because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock. To be able to
yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax,
_raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information
provided by the SRAT. It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago
and was seen as an acceptable fix. The current way of obtaining the nodeid
static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid)
{
return logical_apicid >> 5;
}
is just not correct for all summit systems/bios. Assuming the apicid
matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped
out the apicids a set way. Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its
bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa.
The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT
table during boot. It lays out what apicid belongs to what node. I use
this information to create a table for use at run time.

The use of SEGMENT_RPL_MASK in the i386 ptrace.h introduced by
x86-allow-a-kernel-to-not-be-in-ring-0.patch broke the UML build, as UML
includes the underlying architecture's ptrace.h, but has no easy access to the
x86 segment definitions.
Rather than kludging around this, as in the past, this patch splits the
userspace-usable parts, which are the bits that UML needs, of ptrace.h into
ptrace-abi.h, which is included back into ptrace.h. Thus, there is no net
effect on i386.
As a side-effect, this creates a ptrace header which is close to being usable
in /usr/include.
x86_64 is also treated in this way for consistency. There was some trailing
whitespace there, which is cleaned up.

One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros. pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.
Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch. Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the

Address a long standing issue of booting with an initrd on an i386 numa
system. Currently (and always) the numa kva area is mapped into low memory
by finding the end of low memory and moving that mark down (thus creating
space for the kva). The issue with this is that Grub loads initrds into
this similar space so when the kernel check the initrd it finds it outside
max_low_pfn and disables it (it thinks the initrd is not mapped into usable
memory) thus initrd enabled kernels can't boot i386 numa :(
My solution to the problem just converts the numa kva area to use the
bootmem allocator to save it's area (instead of moving the end of low
memory). Using bootmem allows the kva area to be mapped into more diverse
addresses (not just the end of low memory) and enables the kva area to be
mapped below the initrd if present.
I have tested this patch on numaq(no initrd) and summit(initrd) i386 numa
based systems.

Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the
return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder.
This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception
frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach
the unwinder to decode this.
For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids
this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick.
It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original
example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the
unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.
This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16

requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking
privilege level (user vs kernel).
This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather
than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use
Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace. I also used
"get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in
the code...
1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a
get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero.
And:
Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0:
a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros.
b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask
in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.)
c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them.
d. Change the entry.S tests for LDT stack segment to use the macros

kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, i386)
This patch upgrades the i386-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the
current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used
to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel.
The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide
an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd.

Descriptor and trap table cleanups. Add cleanly written accessors for

allows the hypervisor to transparently tweak the DPL of the descriptors
as well as the RPL of segments in those descriptors, with no unnecessary

This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing
throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used
by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390). The code was inconsistent with
whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of
these will get passed through the environment into init.
This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable
parts:
1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/
2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning. When someone
actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use
early_param().
[AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next
x86-64 patch]
3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h
4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi).
5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL,
except one where it has subtle humor value.

For NUMA optimization and some other algorithms it is useful to have a fast
to get the current CPU and node numbers in user space.
x86-64 added a fast way to do this in a vsyscall. This adds a generic
syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility.
I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall.
The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since
what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space
often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time. The norma
methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow
The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct
access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization
it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs
portable
I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow
as needed.

Adds basic infrastructure to allow subsystems to reserve performance
counters on the x86 chips. Only UP kernels are supported in this patch to
make reviewing easier. The SMP portion makes a lot more changes.
Think of this as a locking mechanism where each bit represents a different
counter. In addition, each subsystem should also reserve an appropriate
event selection register that will correspond to the performance counter it
will be using (this is mainly neccessary for the Pentium 4 chips as they
break the 1:1 relationship to performance counters).

This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
recvmsg.
Patch purpose:
This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket. The application
can then use this security context to determine the security context for
processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.
Patch design and implementation:
The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
sockets. Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
retrieving user credentials. Linux offers the API for obtaining user
credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
that are bundled together with a normal message). To retrieve the security
context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt. Then the application
retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.
An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:
toggle = 1;
toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
}
}
sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
a server socket to receive security context of the peer.
Testing:
We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
applications. We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

sysfs entries 'sched_mc_power_savings' and 'sched_smt_power_savings' in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/ control the MC/SMT power savings policy for the
scheduler.
Based on the values (1-enable, 0-disable) for these controls, sched groups
cpu power will be determined for different domains. When power savings
policy is enabled and under light load conditions, scheduler will minimize
the physical packages/cpu cores carrying the load and thus conserving
power(with a perf impact based on the workload characteristics... see OLS
2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..)

Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it.
Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which
can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do
single-stepping and other debugging features.
It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same
high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they
get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which
slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the
VDSO).
There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support
for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer
distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning
it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the
predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore.
There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime
/proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned
on/off.
(This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF
coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.)
This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization
code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell
started this patch and i completed it.

Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.
What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.
Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.
Patch handles both i386 and x86-64 kernels.

On some i386/x86_64 systems, sending an NMI IPI as a broadcast will
reset the system. This seems to be a BIOS bug which affects machines
where one or more cpus are not under OS control. It occurs on HT
systems with a version of the OS that is not compiled without HT
support. It also occurs when a system is booted with max_cpus=n where
2 <= n < cpus known to the BIOS. The fix is to always send NMI IPI as
a mask instead of as a broadcast.

x86_64 and i386 behave inconsistently when sending an IPI on vector 2
(NMI_VECTOR). Make both behave the same, so IPI 2 is sent as NMI.
The crash code was abusing send_IPI_allbutself() by passing a code
instead of a vector, it only worked because crash knew about the
internal code of send_IPI_allbutself(). Change crash to use NMI_VECTOR
instead, and remove the comment about how crash was abusing the function.
This patch is a pre-requisite for fixing the problem where sending an
IPI as NMI would reboot some Dell Xeon systems. I cannot fix that
problem while crash continus to abuse send_IPI_allbutself().
It also removes the inconsistency between i386 and x86_64 for
NMI_VECTOR. That will simplify all the RAS code that needs to bring
all the cpus to a clean stop, even when one or more cpus are spinning
disabled.

During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
Converted i386/x86-64/ia64 for now because that was the easiest
way to fix ACPI which also manipulates these flags in its idle
function.

Changes are largely identical to the i386 version:
* alternative #define are moved to the new alternative.h file.
* one new elf section with pointers to the lock prefixes which can be
nop'ed out for non-smp.
* two new elf sections simliar to the "classic" alternatives to
replace SMP code with simpler UP code.
* fixup headers to use alternative.h instead of defining their own
LOCK / LOCK_PREFIX macros.
The patch reuses the i386 version of the alternatives code to avoid code
duplication. The code in alternatives.c was shuffled around a bit to
reduce the number of #ifdefs needed. It also got some tweaks needed for
x86_64 (vsyscall page handling) and new features (noreplacement option
which was x86_64 only up to now). Debug printk's are changed from

As described in a previous patch and documented in mm/filemap.h,
copy_from_user_inatomic* shouldn't zero out the tail of the buffer after an
incomplete copy.
This patch implements that change for i386.
For the _nocache version, a new __copy_user_intel_nocache is defined similar
to copy_user_zeroio_intel_nocache, and this is ultimately used for the copy.
For the regular version, __copy_from_user_ll_nozero is defined which uses
__copy_user and __copy_user_intel - the later needs casts to reposition the
__user annotations.
If copy_from_user_atomic is given a constant length of 1, 2, or 4, then we do
still zero the destintion on failure. This didn't seem worth the effort of
fixing as the places where it is used really don't care.

The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source address is
not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the* *destination*.
This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd thing
to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or what was
there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a reasonable thing
to see).
If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't cause an
error.
The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing so
causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than copy_from_user
so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic to *not* zero out
bytes on failure.
The first of these two patches prepares for the change by fixing two places
which assume copy_from_user_atomic does zero the tail. The two usages are
very similar pieces of code which copy from a userspace iovec into one or more
page-cache pages. These are changed to remove the assumption.
The second patch changes __copy_from_user_inatomic* to not zero the tail.
Once these are accepted, I will look at similar patches of other architectures
where this is important (ppc, mips and sparc being the ones I can find).
This patch:
There is a problem with __copy_from_user_inatomic zeroing the tail of the
buffer in the case of an error. As it is called in atomic context, the error
may be transient, so it results in zeros being written where maybe they
shouldn't be.
In the usage in filemap, this opens a window for a well timed read to see data
(zeros) which is not consistent with any ordering of reads and writes.
Most cases where __copy_from_user_inatomic is called, a failure results in
__copy_from_user being called immediately. As long as the latter zeros the
tail, the former doesn't need to. However in *copy_from_user_iovec
implementations (in both filemap and ntfs/file), it is assumed that
copy_from_user_inatomic will zero the tail.
This patch removes that assumption, so that after this patch it will
be safe for copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero the tail.
This patch also adds some commentary to filemap.h and asm-i386/uaccess.h.
After this patch, all architectures that might disable preempt when
kmap_atomic is called need to have their __copy_from_user_inatomic* "fixed".
This includes
- powerpc
- i386
- mips
- sparc

Several functions in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c needed to be made non-static

sys_move_pages() support for 32bit (i386 plus x86_64 compat layer)
Add support for move_pages() on i386 and also add the compat functions
necessary to run 32 bit binaries on x86_64.
Add compat_sys_move_pages to the x86_64 32bit binary layer. Note that it is
not up to date so I added the missing pieces. Not sure if this is done the
right way.

VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures. It makes sense
to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between
vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end.
But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because
we aren't going to access memory starting there. On ia64, which always has
to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely
incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being
nonsense.
As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap()
correctly, rather than giving it a zero size.

In IA64 platform, msi driver does not use irq_vector variable, and in
x86 platform LAST_DEVICE_VECTOR should one before FIRST_SYSTEM_VECTOR,
this patch modify this.

Abstract portions of the MSI core for platforms that do not use standard
APIC interrupt controllers. This is implemented through a new arch-specific
msi setup routine, and a set of msi ops which can be set on a per platform
basis.

The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets
re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device. The patch
corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is
avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by
original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. The VIA chipset uses
4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot
handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this
problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

The FXSAVE information leak patch introduced a bug in FP exception
handling: it clears FP exceptions only when there are already
none outstanding. Mikael Pettersson reported that causes problems
with the Erlang runtime and has tested this fix.

These aren't needed by glibc or klibc, and they're broken in some cases
anyway. The uClibc folks are apparently switching over to stop using
them too (now that we agreed that they should be dropped, at least).
