Jan Beulich 7269e8812a x86-64: Modify memcpy()/memset() alternatives mechanism
In order to avoid unnecessary chains of branches, rather than
implementing memcpy()/memset()'s access to their alternative
implementations via a jump, patch the (larger) original function
directly.

The memcpy() part of this is slightly subtle: while alternative
instruction patching does itself use memcpy(), with the
replacement block being less than 64-bytes in size the main loop
of the original function doesn't get used for copying memcpy_c()
over memcpy(), and hence we can safely write over its beginning.

Also note that the CFI annotations are fine for both variants of
each of the functions.

Jan Beulich 1b1d925818 x86-64: Modify copy_user_generic() alternatives mechanism
In order to avoid unnecessary chains of branches, rather than
implementing copy_user_generic() as a function consisting of
just a single (possibly patched) branch, instead properly deal
with patching call instructions in the alternative instructions
framework, and move the patching into the callers.

As a follow-on, one could also introduce something like
__EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALT() to avoid patching call sites in modules.

Borislav Petkov 6ede31e030 x86, msr: msrs_alloc/free for CONFIG_SMP=n
Randy Dunlap reported the following build error:

"When CONFIG_SMP=n, CONFIG_X86_MSR=m:

ERROR: "msrs_free" [drivers/edac/amd64_edac_mod.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "msrs_alloc" [drivers/edac/amd64_edac_mod.ko] undefined!"

This is due to the fact that <arch/x86/lib/msr.c> is conditioned on
CONFIG_SMP and in the UP case we have only the stubs in the header.
Fork off SMP functionality into a new file (msr-smp.c) and build
msrs_{alloc,free} unconditionally.

Borislav Petkov 505422517d x86, msr: Add support for non-contiguous cpumasks
The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied
cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there
like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core
enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268.

This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU
msr structs which are used on the respective cores.

Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by
the callers of the MSR accessors.

Frederic Weisbecker 3c93ca00ee x86: Add missing might_fault() checks to copy_{to,from}_user()
On x86-64, copy_[to|from]_user() rely on assembly routines that
never call might_fault(), making us missing various lockdep
checks.

This doesn't apply to __copy_from,to_user() that explicitly
handle these calls, neither is it a problem in x86-32 where
copy_to,from_user() rely on the "__" prefixed versions that
also call might_fault().

This v2.6.26 commit:

    ad2fc2c: x86: fix copy_user on x86

rendered __copy_from_user_inatomic() identical to

latter from an inline function.

Furthermore, this v2.6.19 commit:

    b885808: [PATCH] Add proper sparse __user casts to __copy_to_user_inatomic

converted the return type of __copy_to_user_inatomic() from
unsigned long to int, but didn't do the same to
__copy_from_user_inatomic().

Add AMD prefetch and 3DNow! opcode including FEMMS. Since 3DNow!
uses the last immediate byte as an opcode extension byte, x86
insn just treats the extenstion byte as an immediate byte
instead of a part of opcode (insn_get_opcode() decodes first
"0x0f 0x0f" bytes.)

Users who are interested in analyzing 3DNow! opcode still can
decode it by analyzing the immediate byte.

Arjan van de Ven 4a31276930 x86: Turn the copy_from_user check into an (optional) compile time warning
A previous patch added the buffer size check to copy_from_user().

One of the things learned from analyzing the result of the previous
patch is that in general, gcc is really good at proving that the
code contains sufficient security checks to not need to do a
runtime check. But that for those cases where gcc could not prove
this, there was a relatively high percentage of real security
issues.

This patch turns the case of "gcc cannot prove" into a compile time
warning, as long as a sufficiently new gcc is in use that supports
this. The objective is that these warnings will trigger developers
checking new cases out before a security hole enters a linux kernel
release.

Arjan van de Ven 79e1dd05d1 x86: Provide an alternative() based cmpxchg64()
cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code.

cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there,
but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking.

This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that
uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on
all modern systems.

Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback
is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems
are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)

Arjan van de Ven 9f0cf4adb6 x86: Use __builtin_object_size() to validate the buffer size for copy_from_user()
gcc (4.x) supports the __builtin_object_size() builtin, which
reports the size of an object that a pointer point to, when known
at compile time. If the buffer size is not known at compile time, a
constant -1 is returned.

This patch uses this feature to add a sanity check to
copy_from_user(); if the target buffer is known to be smaller than
the copy size, the copy is aborted and a WARNing is emitted in
memory debug mode.

These extra checks compile away when the object size is not known,
or if both the buffer size and the copy length are constants.

Masami Hiramatsu eb13296cfa x86: Instruction decoder API
Add x86 instruction decoder to arch-specific libraries. This decoder
can decode x86 instructions used in kernel into prefix, opcode, modrm,
sib, displacement and immediates. This can also show the length of
instructions.

This version introduces instruction attributes for decoding
instructions.
The instruction attribute tables are generated from the opcode map file
(x86-opcode-map.txt) by the generator script(gen-insn-attr-x86.awk).

Currently, the opcode maps are based on opcode maps in Intel(R) 64 and
IA-32 Architectures Software Developers Manual Vol.2: Appendix.A,
and consist of below two types of opcode tables.

1-byte/2-bytes/3-bytes opcodes, which has 256 elements, are
written as below;

 Table: table-name
 Referrer: escaped-name
 opcode: mnemonic|GrpXXX [operand1[,operand2...]] [(extra1)[,(extra2)...] [| 2nd-mnemonic ...]
  (or)
 opcode: escape # escaped-name
 EndTable

Group opcodes, which has 8 elements, are written as below;

 GrpTable: GrpXXX
 reg:  mnemonic [operand1[,operand2...]] [(extra1)[,(extra2)...] [| 2nd-mnemonic ...]
 EndTable

These opcode maps include a few SSE and FP opcodes (for setup), because
those opcodes are used in the kernel.

Ingo Molnar 3ac805d2af x86: atomic64: Reduce size of functions
cmpxchg8b is a huge instruction in terms of register footprint,
we almost never want to inline it, not even within the same
code module.

GCC 4.3 still messes up for two functions, under-judging the
true cost of this instruction - so annotate two key functions
to reduce the bloat:

arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.o:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   1763	      0	      0	   1763	    6e3	atomic64_32.o.before
    435	      0	      0	    435	    1b3	atomic64_32.o.after

Ingo Molnar 824975ef19 x86: atomic64: Improve atomic64_add_return()
Linus noted (based on Eric Dumazet's numbers) that we would
probably be better off not trying an atomic_read() in
atomic64_add_return() but intead intentionally let the first
cmpxchg8b fail - to get a cache-friendly 'give me ownership
of this cacheline' transaction. That can then be followed
by the real cmpxchg8b which sets the value local to the CPU.

Eric Dumazet aacf682fd8 x86: atomic64: Improve atomic64_read()
Linus noticed that the 32-bit version of atomic64_read() was
being overly complex with re-reading the value and doing a
retry loop over that.

Instead we can just rely on cmpxchg8b returning either the new
value or returning the current value.

We can use any 'old' value, which will be faster as it can be
loaded via immediates. Using some value that is not equal to
the real value in memory the instruction gets faster.

This also has the advantage that the CPU could avoid dirtying
the cacheline.

Ingo Molnar b7882b7c65 x86: atomic64: Move the 32-bit atomic64_t implementation to a .c file
Linus noted that the atomic64_t primitives are all inlines
currently which is crazy because these functions have a large
register footprint anyway.

Move them to a separate file: arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c

Also, while at it, rename all uses of 'unsigned long long' to
the much shorter u64.

This makes the appearance of the prototypes a lot nicer - and
it also uncovered a few bugs where (yet unused) API variants
had 'long' as their return type instead of u64.

[ More intrusive changes are not yet done in this patch. ]

Linus Torvalds 9063c61fd5 x86, 64-bit: Clean up user address masking
The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see
commit 7f8189068726492950bf1a2dcfd9b51314560abf: "x86: don't use
'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and
end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy
about virtual address checking.

So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual
addresses:

 - All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address
   space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed
   integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when
   applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space.

 - /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more
   obvious when it transforms a file offset into a
   (kernel-half) virtual address.

 - Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to
   be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX.

This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also
uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it
would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the
string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid
strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this.

So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we
already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'.  Namely by just
checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the
rest.  That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be
mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we
didn't, we'd have the address space hole).

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an
early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments
are written before all input arguments are read.

Also add more early clobbers in the rest of the file and fix 32-bit
usercopy.c in the same way.

Nick Piggin c10d38dda1 x86: some lock annotations for user copy paths
copy_to/from_user and all its variants (except the atomic ones) can take a
page fault and perform non-trivial work like taking mmap_sem and entering
the filesyste/pagecache.

Unfortunately, this often escapes lockdep because a common pattern is to
use it to read in some arguments just set up from userspace, or write data
back to a hot buffer. In those cases, it will be unlikely for page reclaim
to get a window in to cause copy_*_user to fault.

With the new might_lock primitives, add some annotations to x86. I don't
know if I caught all possible faulting points (it's a bit of a maze, and I
didn't really look at 32-bit). But this is a starting point.

Boots and runs OK so far.

Linus Torvalds 42a886af72 x86-64: Fix "bytes left to copy" return value for copy_from_user()
Most users by far do not care about the exact return value (they only
really care about whether the copy succeeded in its entirety or not),
but a few special core routines actually care deeply about exactly how
many bytes were copied from user space.

And the unrolled versions of the x86-64 user copy routines would
sometimes report that it had copied more bytes than it actually had.

Very few uses actually have partial copies to begin with, but to make
this bug even harder to trigger, most x86 CPU's use the "rep string"
instructions for normal user copies, and that version didn't have this
issue.

To make it even harder to hit, the one user of this that really cared
about the return value (and used the uncached version of the copy that
doesn't use the "rep string" instructions) was the generic write
routine, which pre-populated its source, once more hiding the problem by
avoiding the exception case that triggers the bug.

In other words, very special thanks to Bron Gondwana who not only
triggered this, but created a test-program to show it, and bisected the
behavior down to commit 08291429cf ("mm:
fix pagecache write deadlocks") which changed the access pattern just
enough that you can now trigger it with 'writev()' with multiple
iovec's.

That commit itself was not the cause of the bug, it just allowed all the
stars to align just right that you could trigger the problem.

[ Side note: this is just the minimal fix to make the copy routines
  (with __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache as the particular version that
  was involved in showing this) have the right return values.

  We really should improve on the exceptional case further - to make the
  copy do a byte-accurate copy up to the exact page limit that causes it
  to fail.  As it is, the callers have to do extra work to handle the
  limit case gracefully. ]

Jiri Hladky e01b70ef3e x86: fix bug in arch/i386/lib/delay.c file, delay_loop function
when trying to understand how Bogomips are implemented I have found a
bug in arch/i386/lib/delay.c file, delay_loop function.

The function fails for loops > 2^31+1. It because SF is set when dec
returns numbers > 2^31.

The fix is to use jnz instruction instead of jns (and add one decl
instruction to the end to have exactly the same number of loops as in
original version).

Martin Mares observed:

> It is a long time since I have hacked that file, but you should definitely
> make sure that the function is never called with a zero argument. In such
> case, the original version made just a single pass, but your version
> makes 2^32 of them.

Steven Rostedt 5c1ea08215 x86: enable preemption in delay
The RT team has been searching for a nasty latency. This latency shows
up out of the blue and has been seen to be as big as 5ms!

Using ftrace I found the cause of the latency.

   pcscd-2995  3dNh1 52360300us : irq_exit (smp_apic_timer_interrupt)
   pcscd-2995  3dN.2 52360301us : idle_cpu (irq_exit)
   pcscd-2995  3dN.2 52360301us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit)
   pcscd-2995  3dN.1 52360771us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (apic_timer_interrupt
)
   pcscd-2995  3dN.1 52360771us : exit_idle (smp_apic_timer_interrupt)

Here's an example of a 400 us latency. pcscd took a timer interrupt and
returned with "need resched" enabled, but did not reschedule until after
the next interrupt came in at 52360771us 400us later!

At first I thought we somehow missed a preemption check in entry.S. But
I also noticed that this always seemed to happen during a __delay call.

   pcscd-2995  3dN.2 52360836us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit)
   pcscd-2995  3.N.. 52361265us : preempt_schedule (__delay)

Looking at the x86 delay, I found my problem.

In git commit 35d5d08a08, Andrew Morton
placed preempt_disable around the entire delay due to TSC's not working
nicely on SMP.  Unfortunately for those that care about latencies this
is devastating! Especially when we have callers to mdelay(8).

Here I enable preemption during the loop and account for anytime the task
migrates to a new CPU. The delay asked for may be extended a bit by
the migration, but delay only guarantees that it will delay for that minimum
time. Delaying longer should not be an issue.

[
  Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for spotting that cpu wasn't updated,
    and to place the rep_nop between preempt_enabled/disable.

Steven Rostedt 81d68a96a3 ftrace: trace irq disabled critical timings
This patch adds latency tracing for critical timings
(how long interrupts are disabled for).

 "irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers

Note:
  tracing_max_latency
    also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs).
   (default to large number so one must start latency tracing)

  tracing_thresh
    threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off
    is detected to be longer than stated here.
    If irq_thresh is non-zero, then max_irq_latency
    is ignored.

Ingo Molnar 89804c022f x86: fix csum_partial() export
Fix this symbol export problem:

    Building modules, stage 2.
    MODPOST 193 modules
    ERROR: "csum_partial" [fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko] undefined!
    make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
    make: *** [modules] Error 2

This is due to a known weakness of symbol exports: if a symbol's
only in-core user is an EXPORT_SYMBOL from a lib-y section, the
symbol is not linked in.

The solution is to move the export to x8664_ksyms_64.c - but the real
solution would be to fix kbuild.

Alexander van Heukelum 5245698f66 x86, UML: remove x86-specific implementations of find_first_bit
x86 has been switched to the generic versions of find_first_bit
and find_first_zero_bit, but the original versions were retained.
This patch just removes the now unused x86-specific versions.

Alexander van Heukelum 6fd92b63d0 x86: change x86 to use generic find_next_bit
The versions with inline assembly are in fact slower on the machines I
tested them on (in userspace) (Athlon XP 2800+, p4-like Xeon 2.8GHz, AMD
Opteron 270). The i386-version needed a fix similar to 06024f21 to avoid
crashing the benchmark.

Benchmark using: gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -Os. For each bitmap size
1...512, for each possible bitmap with one bit set, for each possible
offset: find the position of the first bit starting at offset. If you
follow ;). Times include setup of the bitmap and checking of the
results.

		Athlon		Xeon		Opteron 32/64bit
x86-specific:	0m3.692s	0m2.820s	0m3.196s / 0m2.480s
generic:	0m2.622s	0m1.662s	0m2.100s / 0m1.572s

If the bitmap size is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, and no set
(cleared) bit is found, find_next_bit (find_next_zero_bit) returns a
value outside of the range [0, size]. The generic version always returns
exactly size. The generic version also uses unsigned long everywhere,
while the x86 versions use a mishmash of int, unsigned (int), long and
unsigned long.

Using the generic version does give a slightly bigger kernel, though.

Sam Ravnborg c6c2d7a084 x86: fix usage of .section .sched.text in assembler code
Without this patch the linker will generate a section
named .sched.text.1 which is unexpected.
This is because the gcc generated section has "ax" but the
assembler usage of .sched.text lacks the "ax" specifier.

It would be better to have a definition we could use from
assembler code but I did not find a suitable header
file for it.

John Reiser 6b8be6df7f x86: add ENDPROC() markers
The ENDPROCs() were not used everywhere.  Some code used just END() instead,
while other code used nothing.  um/sys-i386/checksum.S didn't #include
<linux/linkage.h> .  I also got confused because gcc puts the
.type near the ENTRY, while ENDPROC puts it on the opposite end.

Sam Ravnborg 583d0e90ea x86: unify arch/x86/lib/Makefile(s)
Trivial unification of Makefiles for the
x86 specific library part.
Linking order is slightly modified but should be harmless.

Tested doing a defconfig build before and after and saw
no build changes.

It adds almost as many lines as it deletes - bacause
I broke a few lines up fo readability in the Makefile.

Andrew Morton 35d5d08a08 x86: disable preemption in delay_tsc()
Marin Mitov points out that delay_tsc() can misbehave if it is preempted and
rescheduled on a different CPU which has a skewed TSC.  Fix it by disabling
preemption.

(I assume that the worst-case behaviour here is a stall of 2^32 cycles)

Manually fix trivial conflict with task pid container helper changes in
arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c
2007-10-19 15:06:00 -07:00
Serge E. Hallyn b460cbc581 pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().

A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.

A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.

Changelog:

	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().

	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:

	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

Mike Travis 92cb7612ae x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu array
cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS.  This means that
we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus.
When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes
3,145,728 bytes.

These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code.  An
additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu
index.  This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the
per_cpu index.  It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo().

cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP
case.

Adrian Bunk 7e02cb941d x86: rename .i assembler includes to .h
.i is an ending used for preprocessed stuff.

This patch therefore renames assembler include files to .h and guards
the contents with an #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__.

Andi Kleen 61d08a9ea3 i386: Remove strrchr assembler implementation
The constraints in the inline assembler implementation of i386
strrchr() were incorrect and break the build with recent gcc 4.3.
Since there are only very few callers of strrchr() and none of them
are performance relevant just remove the assembler implementation
and use the C fallback instead.

Nick Piggin df1bdc0667 x86: fence oostores on 64-bit
movnt* instructions are not strongly ordered with respect to other stores,
so if we are to assume stores are strongly ordered in the rest of the 64
bit code, we must fence these off (see similar examples in 32 bit code).

[ The AMD memory ordering document seems to say that nontemporal stores can
  also pass earlier regular stores, so maybe we need sfences _before_
  movnt* everywhere too? ]
