The DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator support on x86 is disabled when
swiotlb config option is enabled. So DMA CMA is always disabled on
x86_64 because swiotlb is always enabled. This attempts to support for
DMA CMA with enabling swiotlb config option.
The contiguous memory allocator on x86 is integrated in the function
dma_generic_alloc_coherent() which is .alloc callback in nommu_dma_ops
for dma_alloc_coherent().
x86_swiotlb_alloc_coherent() which is .alloc callback in swiotlb_dma_ops
tries to allocate with dma_generic_alloc_coherent() firstly and then
swiotlb_alloc_coherent() is called as a fallback.
The main part of supporting DMA CMA with swiotlb is that changing
x86_swiotlb_free_coherent() which is .free callback in swiotlb_dma_ops
for dma_free_coherent() so that it can distinguish memory allocated by
dma_generic_alloc_coherent() from one allocated by
swiotlb_alloc_coherent() and release it with dma_generic_free_coherent()
which can handle contiguous memory. This change requires making
is_swiotlb_buffer() global function.
This also needs to change .free callback in the dma_map_ops for amd_gart
and sta2x11, because these dma_ops are also using
dma_generic_alloc_coherent().

_PAGE_NUMA is currently an alias of _PROT_PROTNONE to trap NUMA hinting
faults on x86. Care is taken such that _PAGE_NUMA is used only in
situations where the VMA flags distinguish between NUMA hinting faults
and prot_none faults. This decision was x86-specific and conceptually
it is difficult requiring special casing to distinguish between PROTNONE
and NUMA ptes based on context.
Fundamentally, we only need the _PAGE_NUMA bit to tell the difference
between an entry that is really unmapped and a page that is protected
for NUMA hinting faults as if the PTE is not present then a fault will
be trapped.
Swap PTEs on x86-64 use the bits after _PAGE_GLOBAL for the offset.
This patch shrinks the maximum possible swap size and uses the bit to
uniquely distinguish between NUMA hinting ptes and swap ptes.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"ACPICA is the leader this time (63 commits), followed by cpufreq (28
commits), devfreq (15 commits), system suspend/hibernation (12
commits), ACPI video and ACPI device enumeration (10 commits each).
We have no major new features this time, but there are a few
significant changes of how things work. The most visible one will
probably be that we are now going to create platform devices rather
than PNP devices by default for ACPI device objects with _HID. That
was long overdue and will be really necessary to be able to use the
same drivers for the same hardware blocks on ACPI and DT-based systems
going forward. We're not expecting fallout from this one (as usual),
but it's something to watch nevertheless.
The second change having a chance to be visible is that ACPI video
will now default to using native backlight rather than the ACPI
backlight interface which should generally help systems with broken
Win8 BIOSes. We're hoping that all problems with the native backlight
handling that we had previously have been addressed and we are in a
good enough shape to flip the default, but this change should be easy
enough to revert if need be.
In addition to that, the system suspend core has a new mechanism to
allow runtime-suspended devices to stay suspended throughout system
suspend/resume transitions if some extra conditions are met
(generally, they are related to coordination within device hierarchy).
However, enabling this feature requires cooperation from the bus type
layer and for now it has only been implemented for the ACPI PM domain
(used by ACPI-enumerated platform devices mostly today).
Also, the acpidump utility that was previously shipped as a separate
tool will now be provided by the upstream ACPICA along with the rest
of ACPICA code, which will allow it to be more up to date and better
supported, and we have one new cpuidle driver (ARM clps711x).
The rest is improvements related to certain specific use cases,
cleanups and fixes all over the place.
Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream version 20140424. That includes a number
of fixes and improvements related to things like GPE handling,
table loading, headers, memory mapping and unmapping, DSDT/SSDT

- a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration,
GDB support and more
- ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall

- support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets
- pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace interface
and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware
- for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17. Still,
we have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested
fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have
always worked). And some optimizations too.
The only missing architecture here is ia64. It's not a coincidence
that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17.

While I play inhouse patches with much memory pressure on qemu-kvm,
3.14 kernel was randomly crashed. The reason was kernel stack overflow.
When I investigated the problem, the callstack was a little bit deeper
by involve with reclaim functions but not direct reclaim path.
I tried to diet stack size of some functions related with alloc/reclaim
so did a hundred of byte but overflow was't disappeard so that I encounter
overflow by another deeper callstack on reclaim/allocator path.
Of course, we might sweep every sites we have found for reducing
stack usage but I'm not sure how long it saves the world(surely,
lots of developer start to add nice features which will use stack
agains) and if we consider another more complex feature in I/O layer
and/or reclaim path, it might be better to increase stack size(
meanwhile, stack usage on 64bit machine was doubled compared to 32bit
while it have sticked to 8K. Hmm, it's not a fair to me and arm64
already expaned to 16K. )
So, my stupid idea is just let's expand stack size and keep an eye
toward stack consumption on each kernel functions via stacktrace of ftrace.
For example, we can have a bar like that each funcion shouldn't exceed 200K
and emit the warning when some function consumes more in runtime.
Of course, it could make false positive but at least, it could make a
chance to think over it.
I guess this topic was discussed several time so there might be
strong reason not to increase kernel stack size on x86_64, for me not
knowing so Ccing x86_64 maintainers, other MM guys and virtio
maintainers.
Here's an example call trace using up the kernel stack:

[ Note: the problem is exacerbated by certain gcc versions that seem to
generate much bigger stack frames due to apparently bad coalescing of
temporaries and generating too many spills. Rusty saw gcc-4.6.4 using
35% more stack on the virtio path than 4.8.2 does, for example.
Minchan not only uses such a bad gcc version (4.6.3 in his case), but
some of the stack use is due to debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is
what causes that kernel_map_pages() frame, for example). But we're
clearly getting too close.
The VM code also seems to have excessive stack frames partly for the
same compiler reason, triggered by excessive inlining and lots of
function arguments.
We need to improve on our stack use, but in the meantime let's do this
simple stack increase too. Unlike most earlier reports, there is
nothing simple that stands out as being really horribly wrong here,
apart from the fact that the stack frames are just bigger than they
should need to be. - Linus ]

There is a mis-order inclusion for <asm/acpi.h>.
As we will enforce including <linux/acpi.h> for all Linux ACPI users, we
can find the inclusion order is as follows:
<linux/acpi.h>
<acpi/acpi.h>
<acpi/platform/acenv.h>
(acenv.h before including aclinux.h)
<acpi/platform/aclinux.h>

<acpi/acpi_drivers.h> |
<asm/acpi.h> (Excluded) |
(Linux ACPI specific stuff) ! <- - - - - - - - - - - - - +
NOTE that, in ACPICA, <acpi/platform/acenv.h> is more like Kconfig
generated <generated/autoconf.h> for Linux, it is meant to be included
before including any ACPICA code.
In the above figure, there is a question mark for "Linux ACPI specific
stuff" in <asm/acpi.h> which should be included after including all other
ACPICA header files. Thus they really need to be moved to the position
marked with exclaimation mark or the definitions in the blocks marked with
"@Invisible@" will be invisible to such architecture specific "Linux ACPI
specific stuff" header blocks. This leaves 2 issues:
1. All environmental definitions in these blocks should have a copy in the
area marked with "@Redundant@" if they are required by the "Linux ACPI
specific stuff".
2. We cannot use any ACPICA defined types in <asm/acpi.h>.
This patch splits architecture specific ACPICA stuff from <asm/acpi.h> to
fix this issue.

I noticed on some of my systems that page fault tracing doesn't
work:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo 1 > events/exceptions/enable
cat trace;
# nothing shows up
I eventually traced it down to CONFIG_KVM_GUEST. At least in a
KVM VM, enabling that option breaks page fault tracing, and
disabling fixes it. I tried on some old kernels and this does
not appear to be a regression: it never worked.
There are two page-fault entry functions today. One when tracing
is on and another when it is off. The KVM code calls do_page_fault()
directly instead of calling the traced version:
> dotraplinkage void __kprobes
> do_async_page_fault(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long
> error_code)
> {
> enum ctx_state prev_state;
>
> switch (kvm_read_and_reset_pf_reason()) {
> default:
> do_page_fault(regs, error_code);
> break;
> case KVM_PV_REASON_PAGE_NOT_PRESENT:
I'm also having problems with the page fault tracing on bare
metal (same symptom of no trace output). I'm unsure if it's
related.
Steven had an alternative to this which has zero overhead when
tracing is off where this includes the standard noops even when
tracing is disabled. I'm unconvinced that the extra complexity
of his apporach:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140508194508.561ed220@gandalf.local.home
is worth it, expecially considering that the KVM code is already
making page fault entry slower here. This solution is
dirt-simple.

CS.RPL is not equal to the CPL in the few instructions between
setting CR0.PE and reloading CS. And CS.DPL is also not equal
to the CPL for conforming code segments.
However, SS.DPL *is* always equal to the CPL except for the weird
case of SYSRET on AMD processors, which sets SS.DPL=SS.RPL from the
value in the STAR MSR, but force CPL=3 (Intel instead forces
SS.DPL=SS.RPL=CPL=3).
So this patch:
- modifies SVM to update the CPL from SS.DPL rather than CS.RPL;
the above case with SYSRET is not broken further, and the way
to fix it would be to pass the CPL to userspace and back
- modifies VMX to always return the CPL from SS.DPL (except
forcing it to 0 if we are emulating real mode via vm86 mode;
in vm86 mode all DPLs have to be 3, but real mode does allow
privileged instructions). It also removes the CPL cache,
which becomes a duplicate of the SS access rights cache.
This fixes doing KVM_IOCTL_SET_SREGS exactly after setting
CR0.PE=1 but before CS has been reloaded.

The invalidation is required in order to maintain proper semantics
under CoW conditions. In scenarios where a process clones several
threads, a thread operating on a core whose DTLB entry for a
particular hugepage has not been invalidated, will be reading from
the hugepage that belongs to the forked child process, even after
hugetlb_cow().
The thread will not see the updated page as long as the stale DTLB
entry remains cached, the thread attempts to write into the page,
the child process exits, or the thread gets migrated to a different
processor.

Standardize the idle polling indicator to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG such that
both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG are in the same word.
This will allow us, using fetch_or(), to both set NEED_RESCHED and
check for POLLING_NRFLAG in a single operation and avoid pointless
wakeups.
Changing from the non-atomic thread_info::status flags to the atomic
thread_info::flags shouldn't be a big issue since most polling state
changes were followed/preceded by a full memory barrier anyway.
Also, fix up the apm_32 idle function, clearly that was forgotten in
the last conversion. The default idle state is !POLLING so just kill
the lot.

As part of this make the usual change to xen_ulong_t in place of unsigned long.
This change has no impact on x86.
The Linux definition of struct multicall_entry.result differs from the Xen
definition, I think for good reasons, and used a long rather than an unsigned
long. Therefore introduce a xen_long_t, which is a long on x86 architectures
and a signed 64-bit integer on ARM.
Use uint32_t nr_calls on x86 for consistency with the ARM definition.

See the previous "Emulate unconditional relative jmp's" which explains
why we can not execute "jmp" out-of-line, the same applies to "call".
Emulating of rip-relative call is trivial, we only need to additionally
push the ret-address. If this fails, we execute this instruction out of
line and this should trigger the trap, the probed application should die
or the same insn will be restarted if a signal handler expands the stack.
We do not even need ->post_xol() for this case.
But there is a corner (and almost theoretical) case: another thread can
expand the stack right before we execute this insn out of line. In this
case it hit the same problem we are trying to solve. So we simply turn
the probed insn into "call 1f; 1:" and add ->post_xol() which restores
->sp and restarts.
Many thanks to Jonathan who finally found the standalone reproducer,
otherwise I would never resolve the "random SIGSEGV's under systemtap"
bug-report. Now that the problem is clear we can write the simplified
test-case:
void probe_func(void), callee(void);
int failed = 1;
asm (
".text\n"
".align 4096\n"
".globl probe_func\n"
"probe_func:\n"
"call callee\n"
"ret"
);
/*
* This assumes that:
*
* - &probe_func = 0x401000 + a_bit, aligned = 0x402000
*
* - xol_vma->vm_start = TASK_SIZE_MAX - PAGE_SIZE = 0x7fffffffe000
* as xol_add_vma() asks; the 1st slot = 0x7fffffffe080
*
* so we can target the non-canonical address from xol_vma using
* the simple math below, 100 * 4096 is just the random offset
*/
asm (".org . + 0x800000000000 - 0x7fffffffe080 - 5 - 1 + 100 * 4096\n");
void callee(void)
{
failed = 0;
}
int main(void)
{
probe_func();
return failed;
}
It SIGSEGV's if you probe "probe_func" (although this is not very reliable,
randomize_va_space/etc can change the placement of xol area).
Note: as Denys Vlasenko pointed out, amd and intel treat "callw" (0x66 0xe8)
differently. This patch relies on lib/insn.c and thus implements the intel's
behaviour: 0x66 is simply ignored. Fortunately nothing sane should ever use
this insn, so we postpone the fix until we decide what should we do; emulate
or not, support or not, etc.

Currently we always execute all insns out-of-line, including relative
jmp's and call's. This assumes that even if regs->ip points to nowhere
after the single-step, default_post_xol_op(UPROBE_FIX_IP) logic will
update it correctly.
However, this doesn't work if this regs->ip == xol_vaddr + insn_offset
is not canonical. In this case CPU generates #GP and general_protection()
kills the task which tries to execute this insn out-of-line.
Now that we have uprobe_xol_ops we can teach uprobes to emulate these
insns and solve the problem. This patch adds branch_xol_ops which has
a single branch_emulate_op() hook, so far it can only handle rel8/32
relative jmp's.

set of methods and change arch_uprobe_pre/post_xol() accordingly.
This way we can add the new uprobe_xol_ops's to handle the insns
which need the special processing (rip-relative jmp/call at least).

This patch series takes the common bits from the x86 early ioremap
implementation and creates a generic implementation which may be used by
other architectures. The early ioremap interfaces are intended for
situations where boot code needs to make temporary virtual mappings
before the normal ioremap interfaces are available. Typically, this
means before paging_init() has run.
This patch (of 6):
There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below: void *a =
early_memremap(phys_addr, size);
early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the
return pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one.
For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch
do below two things:
1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap
2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap
From Boris:
"Ingo told me yesterday, it makes sense too. I'd guess we can try it.
FWIW, all callers of early_memremap use the memory they get remapped
as normal memory so we should be safe"

The kernel has never been audited to ensure that this_cpu operations are
consistently used throughout the kernel. The code generated in many
places can be improved through the use of this_cpu operations (which
uses a segment register for relocation of per cpu offsets instead of
performing address calculations).
The patch set also addresses various consistency issues in general with
the per cpu macros.
A. The semantics of __this_cpu_ptr() differs from this_cpu_ptr only
because checks are skipped. This is typically shown through a raw_
prefix. So this patch set changes the places where __this_cpu_ptr()
is used to raw_cpu_ptr().
B. There has been the long term wish by some that __this_cpu operations
would check for preemption. However, there are cases where preemption
checks need to be skipped. This patch set adds raw_cpu operations that
do not check for preemption and then adds preemption checks to the
__this_cpu operations.
C. The use of __get_cpu_var is always a reference to a percpu variable
that can also be handled via a this_cpu operation. This patch set
replaces all uses of __get_cpu_var with this_cpu operations.
D. We can then use this_cpu RMW operations in various places replacing
sequences of instructions by a single one.
E. The use of this_cpu operations throughout will allow other arches than
x86 to implement optimized references and RMV operations to work with
per cpu local data.
F. The use of this_cpu operations opens up the possibility to
further optimize code that relies on synchronization through
per cpu data.
The patch set works in a couple of stages:
I. Patch 1 adds the additional raw_cpu operations and raw_cpu_ptr().
Also converts the existing __this_cpu_xx_# primitive in the x86
code to raw_cpu_xx_#.
II. Patch 2-4 use the raw_cpu operations in places that would give
us false positives once they are enabled.
III. Patch 5 adds preemption checks to __this_cpu operations to allow
checking if preemption is properly disabled when these functions
are used.
IV. Patches 6-20 are patches that simply replace uses of __get_cpu_var
with this_cpu_ptr. They do not depend on any changes to the percpu
code. No preemption tests are skipped if they are applied.
V. Patches 21-46 are conversion patches that use this_cpu operations
in various kernel subsystems/drivers or arch code.
VI. Patches 47/48 (not included in this series) remove no longer used
functions (__this_cpu_ptr and __get_cpu_var). These should only be
applied after all the conversion patches have made it and after we
have done additional passes through the kernel to ensure that none of
the uses of these functions remain.
This patch (of 46):
The patches following this one will add preemption checks to __this_cpu
ops so we need to have an alternative way to use this_cpu operations
without preemption checks.
raw_cpu_ops will be the basis for all other ops since these will be the
operations that do not implement any checks.
Primitive operations are renamed by this patch from __this_cpu_xxx to
raw_cpu_xxxx.
Also change the uses of the x86 percpu primitives in preempt.h.
These depend directly on asm/percpu.h (header #include nesting issue).

This ensures that BUG() always has a definition that causes a trap (via
an undefined instruction), and that the compiler still recognizes the
code following BUG() as unreachable, avoiding warnings that would
otherwise appear (such as on non-void functions that don't return a
value after BUG()).
In addition to saving a few bytes over the generic infinite-loop
implementation, this implementation traps rather than looping, which
potentially allows for better error-recovery behavior (such as by
rebooting).

This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have

remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.
This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.
This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have
agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
cycle.
An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't
before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
this had the potential of information leaks"
