When a machine check or NMI occurs while multiple byte code is patched the CPU could theoretically see an inconsistent instruction and crash. Prevent this by temporarily disabling MCEs and returning early in the NMI handler. Based on discussion with Mathieu Desnoyers.

Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write protected by DEBUG_RODATA Add a general utility function to change write protected text. The new function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU synchronization. It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster. There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the comment. This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code. text_poke also supports multi byte patching now. Contains bug fixes from Zach Amsden and suggestions from Mathieu Desnoyers.

This patch uses the read and write functions provided at system.h for control registers instead of writting raw assembly over and over again in .c files. Functions to manipulate cr2 and cr8 were provided, as they were lacking.

This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a segfault happens. A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 > /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace) Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the following: main() { while (1) if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0; } This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this. Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old 'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts. AK: Enabling by default for i386 will be likely controversal, but let's see what happens AK: Really folks, before complaining just fix your segfaults AK: I bet this will find a lot of silent issues Signed-off-by: Masoud Sharbiani <masouds@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> [ Personally, I've found the complaints useful on x86-64, so I'm all for this. That said, I wonder if we could do it more prettily.. -Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Mark Fortescue authored
__ndelay and __udelay have not been delayung >= specified time. The problem with __ndelay has been tacked down to the rounding of the multiplier constant. By changing this, delays > app 18us are correctly calculated. The problem with __udelay has also been tracked down to rounding issues. Changing the multiplier constant (to match that used in sparc64) corrects for large delays and adding in a rounding constant corrects for trunctaion errors in the claculations. Many short delays will return without looping. This is not an error as there is the fixed delay of doing all the maths to calculate the loop count.

This patch introduces struct pci_sysdata to x86 and x86-64, and converts the existing two users (NUMA, Calgary) to use it. This lays the groundwork for having other users of sysdata, such as the PCI domains work. The Calgary bits are tested, the NUMA bits just look ok.

Insert HPET resources after pci probing has been completed in order to avoid resource conflicts with PCI resource reservation. With this change the HPET firmware resources will be identified, but it should also not cause issues when the HPET address falls on a BAR in a PCI device, and the PCI enumeration cannot reserve the resources.

get_vm_area always returns an area with an adjacent guard page. That guard page is included in vm_struct.size. iounmap uses vm_struct.size to determine how much address space needs to have change_page_attr applied to it, which will BUG if applied to the guard page. This patch adds a helper function - get_vm_area_size() in linux/vmalloc.h - to return the actual size of a vm area, and uses it to make iounmap do the right thing. There are probably other places which should be using get_vm_area_size(). Thanks to Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> for debugging the problem.

e820_hole_size() now uses the newly extracted helper function, e820_find_active_region(), to determine the size of usable RAM in a range of PFN's. This was previously broken because of two reasons: - The start and end PFN's of each e820 entry were not properly rounded prior to excluding those entries in the range, and - Entries smaller than a page were not properly excluded from being accumulated. This resulted in emulated nodes being incorrectly mapped to ranges that were completely reserved and not candidates for being registered as active ranges.

For K8 system: 4G RAM with memory hole remapping enabled, or more than 4G RAM installed. when using kexec to load second kernel. In the second kernel, when mem is allocated for GART, it will do the memset for clear, it will cause restart, because some device still used that for dma. solution will be: in second kernel: disable that at first before we try to allocate mem for it. or in the first kernel: do disable that before shutdown. Andi/Eric/Alan prefer to second one for clean shutdown in first kernel. Andi also point out need to consider to AGP enable but mem less 4G case too.
