x86-32: Fix possible incomplete TLB invalidate with PAE pagetables

2013-04-17T04:48:29Z

commit 1de14c3c5cbc9bb17e9dcc648cda51c0c85d54b9 upstream. This patch attempts to fix: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56461 The symptom is a crash and messages like this: chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000 *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000 Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3f520 ("x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free unused pagetables. On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table (aka pgd_t entries). The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg does not actually affect the CPU's copy. If we clear one we *HAVE* to do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page. (note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()). This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush. BTW, I disassembled and checked that: if (tlb->fullmm == 0) and if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all) generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there to the !PAE case.

mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT

2013-01-05T00:11:46Z

Since commit e303297e6c3a ("mm: extended batches for generic mmu_gather") we are batching pages to be freed until either tlb_next_batch cannot allocate a new batch or we are done. This works just fine most of the time but we can get in troubles with non-preemptible kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY) on large machines where too aggressive batching might lead to soft lockups during process exit path (exit_mmap) because there are no scheduling points down the free_pages_and_swap_cache path and so the freeing can take long enough to trigger the soft lockup. The lockup is harmless except when the system is setup to panic on softlockup which is not that unusual. The simplest way to work around this issue is to limit the maximum number of batches in a single mmu_gather. 10k of collected pages should be safe to prevent from soft lockups (we would have 2ms for one) even if they are all freed without an explicit scheduling point. This patch doesn't add any new explicit scheduling points because it relies on zap_pmd_range during page tables zapping which calls cond_resched per PMD. The following lockup has been reported for 3.0 kernel with a huge process (in order of hundreds gigs but I do know any more details). BUG: soft lockup - CPU#56 stuck for 22s!

include: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:16Z

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit from some include files that were previously missed. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand. Cc: Bill Pemberton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

CONFIG_GENERIC_SIGALTSTACK build breakage with asm-generic/syscalls.h

2012-12-26T06:15:01Z

Saner transition plan for GENERIC_SIGALTSTACK conversion - instead of adding #define sys_sigaltstack sys_sigaltstack in asm/syscalls.h of architecture if it's pulls asm-generic/syscalls.h, only to have those defines removed once all architectures are converted, make the declaration in said asm-generic/syscalls.h conditional on the lack of GENERIC_SIGALTSTACK. Less messy in intermediate stages that way...

asm-generic/dma-mapping-broken.h: Provide dma_alloc_attrs()/dma_free_attrs()

Since commit 0049fb2603b7afb1080776ee691dfa5a3d282357 ("OMAPFB: use dma_alloc_attrs to allocate memory") we have one non-arch user of dma_{alloc,free}_attrs(). Hence provide these functions, as wrappers around dma_{alloc,free}_coherent(). Note that most architectures do it the other way around. But as these are dummy functions, we don't care.

asm-generic: io: don't perform swab during {in,out} string functions

2012-12-18T01:15:13Z

The {in,out}s{b,w,l} functions are designed to operate on a stream of bytes and therefore should not perform any byte-swapping, regardless of the CPU byte order. This patch fixes the generic IO header so that {in,out}s{b,w,l} call the __raw_{read,write} functions directly rather than going via the endian-correcting accessors.
