commit 8f0750f19789cf352d7e24a6cc50f2ab1b4f1372 upstream.
These are used as offsets into an array of GDT_ENTRY_TLS_ENTRIES members
so GDT_ENTRY_TLS_ENTRIES is one past the end of the array.

commit 57779dc2b3b75bee05ef5d1ada47f615f7a13932 upstream.
While running the latest Linux as guest under VMware in highly
over-committed situations, we have seen cases when the refined TSC
algorithm fails to get a valid tsc_start value in
tsc_refine_calibration_work from multiple attempts. As a result the
kernel keeps on scheduling the tsc_irqwork task for later. Subsequently
after several attempts when it gets a valid start value it goes through
the refined calibration and either bails out or uses the new results.
Given that the kernel originally read the TSC frequency from the
platform, which is the best it can get, I don't think there is much
value in refining it.
So for systems which get the TSC frequency from the platform we
should skip the refined tsc algorithm.
We can use the TSC_RELIABLE cpu cap flag to detect this, right now it is
set only on VMware and for Moorestown Penwell both of which have there
own TSC calibration methods.

commit 29a2e2836ff9ea65a603c89df217f4198973a74f upstream.
The problem occurs on !CONFIG_VM86 kernels [1] when a kernel-mode task
returns from a system call with a pending signal.
A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed
kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ].
kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of
"kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot).
The loop is as follows:
* syscall_exit_work:
- work_pending: // start_of_the_loop
- work_notify_sig:
- do_notify_resume()
- do_signal()
- if (!user_mode(regs)) return;
- resume_userspace // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set
- work_pending // so we call work_pending => goto
// start_of_the_loop
More information can be found in another LKML thread:
http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,457826
[1] the problem was also seen on MIPS.

commit 1a5a9906d4e8d1976b701f889d8f35d54b928f25 upstream.
In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode. In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.
It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds). The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().
Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously. This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this. For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.
Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).
The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value. Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care. If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).
All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd. The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds). I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).
if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
continue;
/* fall through */
}
if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
Because this race condition could be exercised without special
privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.
The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.
====== start quote =======
mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!
At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
following is logged on the console:
mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).
The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
the page's PMD table entry.
143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
144 {
-> 145 pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
146 pmd_clear(pmd);
147 }
After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.
1381 if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
1382 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
1383 mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
-> 1384 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));
The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
it in shared mode (down_read). Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated. However, Thread A
does not synchronize on that lock.

commit 73d63d038ee9f769f5e5b46792d227fe20e442c5 upstream.
With the recent changes to clear_IO_APIC_pin() which tries to
clear remoteIRR bit explicitly, some of the users started to see
"Unable to reset IRR for apic .." messages.
Close look shows that these are related to bogus IO-APIC entries
which return's all 1's for their io-apic registers. And the
above mentioned error messages are benign. But kernel should
have ignored such io-apic's in the first place.
Check if register 0, 1, 2 of the listed io-apic are all 1's and
ignore such io-apic.

It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not
count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control
register and SVM is disabled in EFER.
This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit
in the performance counter control register when SVM is not
enabled.
The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the
user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is
disabled the counter should not run at all and the
not-counting is the intended behaviour.

(And define it properly for x86-32, which had its 'current_task'
declaration in separate from x86-64)
Bitten by my dislike for modules on the machines I use, and the fact
that apparently nobody else actually wanted to test the patches I sent
out.
Snif. Nobody else cares.
Anyway, we probably should uninline the 'kernel_fpu_begin()' function
that is what modules actually use and that references this, but this is
the minimal fix for now.

Linus noticed that the cmp used to check if the code segment is
__KERNEL_CS or not did not specify a size. Perhaps it does not matter
as H. Peter Anvin noted that user space can not set the bottom two
bits of the %cs register. But it's best not to let the assembly choose
and change things between different versions of gas, but instead just
pick the size.
Four bytes are used to compare the saved code segment against
__KERNEL_CS. Perhaps this might mess up Xen, but we can fix that when
the time comes.
Also I noticed that there was another non-specified cmp that checks
the special stack variable if it is 1 or 0. This too probably doesn't
matter what cmp is used, but this patch uses cmpl just to make it non
ambiguous.

This makes us recognize when we try to restore FPU state that matches
what we already have in the FPU on this CPU, and avoids the restore
entirely if so.
To do this, we add two new data fields:
- a percpu 'fpu_owner_task' variable that gets written any time we
update the "has_fpu" field, and thus acts as a kind of back-pointer
to the task that owns the CPU. The exception is when we save the FPU
state as part of a context switch - if the save can keep the FPU
state around, we leave the 'fpu_owner_task' variable pointing at the
task whose FP state still remains on the CPU.
- a per-thread 'last_cpu' field, that indicates which CPU that thread
used its FPU on last. We update this on every context switch
(writing an invalid CPU number if the last context switch didn't
leave the FPU in a lazily usable state), so we know that *that*
thread has done nothing else with the FPU since.
These two fields together can be used when next switching back to the
task to see if the CPU still matches: if 'fpu_owner_task' matches the
task we are switching to, we know that no other task (or kernel FPU
usage) touched the FPU on this CPU in the meantime, and if the current
CPU number matches the 'last_cpu' field, we know that this thread did no
other FP work on any other CPU, so the FPU state on the CPU must match
what was saved on last context switch.
In that case, we can avoid the 'f[x]rstor' entirely, and just clear the
CR0.TS bit.

This inlines what is usually just a couple of instructions, but more
importantly it also fixes the theoretical error case (can that FPU
restore really ever fail? Maybe we should remove the checking).
We can't start sending signals from within the scheduler, we're much too
deep in the kernel and are holding the runqueue lock etc. So don't
bother even trying.

This makes sure we clear the FPU usage counter for newly created tasks,
just so that we start off in a known state (for example, don't try to
preload the FPU state on the first task switch etc).
It also fixes a thinko in when we increment the fpu_counter at task
switch time, introduced by commit 34ddc81a230b ("i387: re-introduce FPU
state preloading at context switch time"). We should increment the
*new* task fpu_counter, not the old task, and only if we decide to use
that state (whether lazily or preloaded).

Currently, the NMI handler tests if it is nested by checking the
special variable saved on the stack (set during NMI handling)
and whether the saved stack is the NMI stack as well (to prevent
the race when the variable is set to zero).
But userspace may set their %rsp to any value as long as they do
not derefence it, and it may make it point to the NMI stack,
which will prevent NMIs from triggering while the userspace app
is running. (I tested this, and it is indeed the case)
Add another check to determine nested NMIs by looking at the
saved %cs (code segment register) and making sure that it is the
kernel code segment.

After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that
caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the
preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870ef3ff ("i387:
do not preload FPU state at task switch time").
However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements
preloading with several fixes, most notably
- properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as
open-coded save and restore with various hacks.
In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us
to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the
TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses
are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for
no good reason.
- Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so
that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the
way they save and restore segment state differently due to
architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state.
- Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines,
and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing
else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on
the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just
re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit.
That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the
infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use
'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the
state saving also trashes the state.
In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving,
rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to
follow as a result.

This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own
(called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu.
This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:
- changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
supposed to indicate).
So perfectly valid code could (and did) do
ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;
and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.
In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
fat and preemption-safe.
- On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
thread_info copy aliases.
This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
away the FPU state.
(It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).
It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
found there too.
Thanks to Arjan Van De Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for pointing us to
the %esp issue.

The AMD K7/K8 CPUs don't save/restore FDP/FIP/FOP unless an exception is
pending. In order to not leak FIP state from one process to another, we
need to do a floating point load after the fxsave of the old process,
and before the fxrstor of the new FPU state. That resets the state to
the (uninteresting) kernel load, rather than some potentially sensitive
user information.
We used to do this directly after the FPU state save, but that is
actually very inconvenient, since it
(a) corrupts what is potentially perfectly good FPU state that we might
want to lazy avoid restoring later and
(b) on x86-64 it resulted in a very annoying ordering constraint, where
"__unlazy_fpu()" in the task switch needs to be delayed until after
the DS segment has been reloaded just to get the new DS value.
Coupling it to the fxrstor instead of the fxsave automatically avoids
both of these issues, and also ensures that we only do it when actually
necessary (the FP state after a save may never actually get used). It's
simply a much more natural place for the leaked state cleanup.

Yes, taking the trap to re-load the FPU/MMX state is expensive, but so
is spending several days looking for a bug in the state save/restore
code. And the preload code has some rather subtle interactions with
both paravirtualization support and segment state restore, so it's not
nearly as simple as it should be.
Also, now that we no longer necessarily depend on a single bit (ie
TS_USEDFPU) for keeping track of the state of the FPU, we migth be able
to do better. If we are really switching between two processes that
keep touching the FP state, save/restore is inevitable, but in the case
of having one process that does most of the FPU usage, we may actually
be able to do much better than the preloading.
In particular, we may be able to keep track of which CPU the process ran
on last, and also per CPU keep track of which process' FP state that CPU
has. For modern CPU's that don't destroy the FPU contents on save time,
that would allow us to do a lazy restore by just re-enabling the
existing FPU state - with no restore cost at all!

This creates three helper functions that do the TS_USEDFPU accesses, and
makes everybody that used to do it by hand use those helpers instead.
In addition, there's a couple of helper functions for the "change both
CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU at the same time" case, and the places that do
that together have been changed to use those. That means that we have
fewer random places that open-code this situation.
The intent is partly to clarify the code without actually changing any
semantics yet (since we clearly still have some hard to reproduce bug in
this area), but also to make it much easier to use another approach
entirely to caching the CR0.TS bit for software accesses.
Right now we use a bit in the thread-info 'status' variable (this patch
does not change that), but we might want to make it a full field of its
own or even make it a per-cpu variable.

Commit 5b1cbac37798 ("i387: make irq_fpu_usable() tests more robust")
added a sanity check to the #NM handler to verify that we never cause
the "Device Not Available" exception in kernel mode.
However, that check actually pinpointed a (fundamental) race where we do
cause that exception as part of the signal stack FPU state save/restore
code.
Because we use the floating point instructions themselves to save and
restore state directly from user mode, we cannot do that atomically with
testing the TS_USEDFPU bit: the user mode access itself may cause a page
fault, which causes a task switch, which saves and restores the FP/MMX
state from the kernel buffers.
This kind of "recursive" FP state save is fine per se, but it means that
when the signal stack save/restore gets restarted, it will now take the
'#NM' exception we originally tried to avoid. With preemption this can
happen even without the page fault - but because of the user access, we
cannot just disable preemption around the save/restore instruction.
There are various ways to solve this, including using the
"enable/disable_page_fault()" helpers to not allow page faults at all
during the sequence, and fall back to copying things by hand without the
use of the native FP state save/restore instructions.
However, the simplest thing to do is to just allow the #NM from kernel
space, but fix the race in setting and clearing CR0.TS that this all
exposed: the TS bit changes and the TS_USEDFPU bit absolutely have to be
atomic wrt scheduling, so while the actual state save/restore can be
interrupted and restarted, the act of actually clearing/setting CR0.TS
and the TS_USEDFPU bit together must not.
Instead of just adding random "preempt_disable/enable()" calls to what
is already excessively ugly code, this introduces some helper functions
that mostly mirror the "kernel_fpu_begin/end()" functionality, just for
the user state instead.
Those helper functions should probably eventually replace the other
ad-hoc CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU tests too, but I'll need to think about it
some more: the task switching functionality in particular needs to
expose the difference between the 'prev' and 'next' threads, while the
new helper functions intentionally were written to only work with
'current'.

Some code - especially the crypto layer - wants to use the x86
FP/MMX/AVX register set in what may be interrupt (typically softirq)
context.
That *can* be ok, but the tests for when it was ok were somewhat
suspect. We cannot touch the thread-specific status bits either, so
we'd better check that we're not going to try to save FP state or
anything like that.
Now, it may be that the TS bit is always cleared *before* we set the
USEDFPU bit (and only set when we had already cleared the USEDFP
before), so the TS bit test may actually have been sufficient, but it
certainly was not obviously so.
So this explicitly verifies that we will not touch the TS_USEDFPU bit,
and adds a few related sanity-checks. Because it seems that somehow
AES-NI is corrupting user FP state. The cause is not clear, and this
patch doesn't fix it, but while debugging it I really wanted the code to
be more obviously correct and robust.

The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following
commit:
e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on
the sampling frequency adjustments:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4()
It was caused by the following call sequence:
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() {
stop()
if (delta > 0) {
perf_adjust_period() {
if (period > 8*...) {
stop()
...
start()
}
}
}
start()
}
Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering
the assert in x86_pmu_start().
The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We
pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether
or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the
start/stop from that function because it's called from
__perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a
stop/start back-toback call.
The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which
was removed by commit:
84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()")
In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU
during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report
of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

With the new throttling/unthrottling code introduced with
commit:
e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
we occasionally hit two WARN_ON_ONCE() checks in:
- intel_pmu_pebs_enable()
- intel_pmu_lbr_enable()
- x86_pmu_start()
The assertions are no longer problematic. There is a valid
path where they can trigger but it is harmless.
The assertion can be triggered with:
$ perf record -e instructions:pp ....
Leading to paths:
intel_pmu_pebs_enable
intel_pmu_enable_event
x86_perf_event_set_period
x86_pmu_start
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context
perf_event_task_tick
scheduler_tick
And:
intel_pmu_lbr_enable
intel_pmu_enable_event
x86_perf_event_set_period
x86_pmu_start
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.
perf_event_task_tick
scheduler_tick
cpuc->enabled is always on because when we get to
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() the PMU is not totally
disabled. Furthermore when we need to adjust a period,
we only stop the event we need to change and not the
entire PMU. Thus, when we re-enable, cpuc->enabled is
already set. Note that when we stop the event, both
pebs and lbr are stopped if necessary (and possible).

x86/reboot: Remove VersaLogic Menlow reboot quirk

x86: Properly parenthesize cmpxchg() macro arguments
|

This commit removes the reboot quirk originally added by commit
e19e074 ("x86: Fix reboot problem on VersaLogic Menlow boards").
Testing with a VersaLogic Ocelot (VL-EPMs-21a rev 1.00 w/ BIOS
6.5.102) revealed the following regarding the reboot hang
problem:
- v2.6.37 reboot=bios was needed.
- v2.6.38-rc1: behavior changed, reboot=acpi is needed,
reboot=kbd and reboot=bios results in system hang.
- v2.6.38: VersaLogic patch (e19e074 "x86: Fix reboot problem on
VersaLogic Menlow boards") was applied prior to v2.6.38-rc7. This
patch sets a quirk for VersaLogic Menlow boards that forces the use
of reboot=bios, which doesn't work anymore.
- v3.2: It seems that commit 660e34c ("x86: Reorder reboot method
preferences") changed the default reboot method to acpi prior to
v3.0-rc1, which means the default behavior is appropriate for the
Ocelot. No VersaLogic quirk is required.
The Ocelot board used for testing can successfully reboot w/out
having to pass any reboot= arguments for all 3 current versions
of the BIOS.

rsyslog will display KERN_EMERG messages on a connected
terminal. However, these messages are useless/undecipherable
for a general user.
For example, after a softlockup we get:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
kernel:Stack:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
kernel:Call Trace:

kernel:Code: ff ff a8 08 75 25 31 d2 48 8d 86 38 e0 ff ff 48 89

This happens because the printk levels for these messages are
incorrect. Only an informational message should be displayed on
a terminal.
I modified the printk levels for various messages in the kernel
and tested the output by using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c kernel
modules (ie, softlockups, panics, hard lockups, etc.) and
confirmed that the console output was still the same and that
the output to the terminals was correct.
For example, in the case of a softlockup we now see the much
more informative:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 10:18:06 ...
BUG: soft lockup - CPU4 stuck for 60s!
instead of the above confusing messages.
AFAICT, the messages no longer have to be KERN_EMERG. In the
most important case of a panic we set console_verbose(). As for
the other less severe cases the correct data is output to the
console and /var/log/messages.
Successfully tested by me using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c module.

We've decided to provide CPU family specific container files
(starting with CPU family 15h). E.g. for family 15h we have to
load microcode_amd_fam15h.bin instead of microcode_amd.bin
Rationale is that starting with family 15h patch size is larger
than 2KB which was hard coded as maximum patch size in various
microcode loaders (not just Linux).
Container files which include patches larger than 2KB cause
different kinds of trouble with such old patch loaders. Thus we
have to ensure that the default container file provides only
patches with size less than 2KB.
