The patch renames xsave_cntxt_init() and __xsave_init() into xstate_enable_boot_cpu() and xstate_enable() as this names are more meaningful. It also removes the duplicate xcr setup for the boot cpu.

As xsave also supports other than fpu features, it should be initialized independently of the fpu. This patch moves this out of fpu initialization. There is also a lot of cross referencing between fpu and xsave code. This patch reduces this by making xsave_cntxt_init() and init_thread_xstate() static functions. The patch moves the cpu_has_xsave check at the beginning of xsave_init(). All other checks may removed then.

Boot cpu id is always 0, thus simplifying and unifying boot cpu check. boot_cpu_id is there for historical reasons and was renamed to boot_cpu_physical_apicid in patch: c70dcb74 x86: change boot_cpu_id to boot_cpu_physical_apicid However, there are some remaining occurrences of boot_cpu_id that are never touched in the kernel and thus its value is always 0.

xsaveopt is a more optimized form of xsave specifically designed for the context switch usage. xsaveopt doesn't save the state that's not modified from the prior xrstor. And if a specific feature state gets modified to the init state, then xsaveopt just updates the header bit in the xsave memory layout without updating the corresponding memory layout.

With xsaveopt, if a processor implementation discern that a processor state component is in its initialized state it may modify the corresponding bit in the xsave_hdr.xstate_bv as '0', with out modifying the corresponding memory layout. Hence wHile presenting the xstate information to the user, we always ensure that the memory layout of a feature will be in the init state if the corresponding header bit is zero. This ensures the consistency and avoids the condition of the user seeing some some stale state in the memory layout during signal handling, debugging etc. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <20100719230205.351459480@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.

The new IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS MSR allows system software to give hardware a hint whether OS policy favors more power saving, or more performance. This allows the OS to have some influence on internal hardware power/performance tradeoffs where the OS has previously had no influence. The support for this feature is indicated by CPUID.06H.ECX.bit3, as documented in the Intel Architectures Software Developer's Manual. This patch discovers support of this feature and displays it as "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo.

This is in preparation for disabling L3 cache indices after having received correctable ECCs in the L3 cache. Now we allow for initial setting of a disabled index slot (write once) and deny writing new indices to it after it has been disabled. Also, we deny using both slots to disable one and the same index. Userspace can restore the previously disabled indices by rewriting those sysfs entries when booting. Cleanup and reorganize code while at it.

The places which call check_for_xstate() only care about zero or non-zero so this patch doesn't change how the code runs, but it's a cleanup. The main reason for this patch is that I'm looking for places which don't return -EFAULT for copy_from_user() failures.

Cursors need to be in the GTT domain when being accessed by the GPU. Previously this was a fortuitous byproduct of userspace using pwrite() to upload the image data into the cursor. The redundant clflush was removed in commit 9b8c4a and so the image was no longer being flushed out of the caches into main memory. One could also devise a scenario where the cursor was rendered by the GPU, prior to being attached as the cursor, resulting in similar corruption due to the missing MI_FLUSH.

Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a request_module these days. And it's not clear it's always a bad idea: for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right one. In this particular case, it's libcrc32c: libcrc32c_mod_init crypto_alloc_shash crypto_alloc_tfm crypto_find_alg crypto_alg_mod_lookup crypto_larval_lookup request_module If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress until that is released. Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard: we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep where we don't hold the lock. Error reporting is a bit trickier: we need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the lock. Other notes: 1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow symbol version mismatches to be ignored. 2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module slipping in before this module is added to the global list now we don't hold the lock the whole time. So we check this just after we check for duplicate modules, and just before we put the module in the global list. (find_symbol finds symbols in coming and going modules, too).

I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed ("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't hold it at all when it did the find_module()). Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a bit. In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before adding ourselves to the list.

Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> reports that we still have some contention over module loading which is slowing boot. Linus also disliked a previous "drop lock and regrab" patch to fix the bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c" message. This is more ambitious: we only grab the lock where we need it.

Linus Torvalds authored
When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could see who needs a module. It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are "used by me". In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are used by that module. But because we didn't have that list, we used to first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me" list of that module. By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it allows for some trivial fixes later too.

I believe a moderate SYN flood attack can corrupt RFS flow table (rps_sock_flow_table), making RPS/RFS much less effective. Even in a normal situation, server handling short lived sessions suffer from bad steering for the first data packet of a session, if another SYN packet is received for another session. We do following action in tcp_v4_rcv() : sock_rps_save_rxhash(sk, skb->rxhash); We should _not_ do this if sk is a LISTEN socket, as about each packet received on a LISTEN socket has a different rxhash than previous one. -> RPS_NO_CPU markers are spread all over rps_sock_flow_table. Also, it makes sense to protect sk->rxhash field changes with socket lock (We currently can change it even if user thread owns the lock and might use rxhash) This patch moves sock_rps_save_rxhash() to a sock locked section, and only for non LISTEN sockets.
