The function calc_nr uses an iterative algorithm to calculate the number of pages needed for the image and the pagedir. Exactly the same result can be obtained with a one-line expression. Note that this was even proved correct ;-). Signed-off-by:

Stop the disks from spinning down and up on suspend. Signed-off-by:

Andreas Steinmetz authored
The patch protects from leaking sensitive data after resume from suspend. During suspend a temporary key is created and this key is used to encrypt the data written to disk. When, during resume, the data was read back into memory the temporary key is destroyed which simply means that all data written to disk during suspend are then inaccessible so they can't be stolen lateron. Think of the following: you suspend while an application is running that keeps sensitive data in memory. The application itself prevents the data from being swapped out. Suspend, however, must write these data to swap to be able to resume lateron. Without suspend encryption your sensitive data are then stored in plaintext on disk. This means that after resume your sensitive data are accessible to all applications having direct access to the swap device which was used for suspend. If you don't need swap after resume these data can remain on disk virtually forever. Thus it can happen that your system gets broken in weeks later and sensitive data which you thought were encrypted and protected are retrieved and stolen from the swap device. Signed-off-by:

This adds type-checking to pm_message_t, so that people can't confuse it with int or u32. It also allows us to fix "disk yoyo" during suspend (disk spinning down/up/down). [We've tried that before; since that cpufreq problems were fixed and I've tried make allyes config and fixed resulting damage.] Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the common code in x86 and x86-64's semaphore.c into a single file in lib/semaphore-sleepers.c. The arch specific asm stubs are left in the arch tree (in semaphore.c for i386 and in the asm for x86-64). There should be no changes in code/functionality with this patch. Signed-off-by:

for_each_cpu walks through all processors in cpu_possible_map, which is defined as cpu_callout_map on i386 and isn't initialised until all processors have been booted. This breaks things which do for_each_cpu iterations early during boot. So, define cpu_possible_map as a bitmap with NR_CPUS bits populated. This was triggered by a patch i'm working on which does alloc_percpu before bringing up secondary processors. From: Alexander Nyberg <alexn@telia.com> i386-boottime-for_each_cpu-broken.patch i386-boottime-for_each_cpu-broken-fix.patch The SMP version of __alloc_percpu checks the cpu_possible_map before allocating memory for a certain cpu. With the above patches the BSP cpuid is never set in cpu_possible_map which breaks CONFIG_SMP on uniprocessor machines (as soon as someone tries to dereference something allocated via __alloc_percpu, which in fact is never allocated since the cpu is not set in cpu_possible_map).

Add a clone operation for pgd updates. This helps complete the encapsulation of updates to page tables (or pages about to become page tables) into accessor functions rather than using memcpy() to duplicate them. This is both generally good for consistency and also necessary for running in a hypervisor which requires explicit updates to page table entries. The new function is: clone_pgd_range(pgd_t *dst, pgd_t *src, int count); dst - pointer to pgd range anwhere on a pgd page src - "" count - the number of pgds to copy. dst and src can be on the same page, but the range must not overlap and must not cross a page boundary. Note that I ommitted using this call to copy pgd entries into the software suspend page root, since this is not technically a live paging structure, rather it is used on resume from suspend. CC'ing Pavel in case he has any feedback on this. Thanks to Chris Wright for noticing that this could be more optimal in PAE compiles by eliminating the memset. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a notify to the die_nmi notify that the system is about to be taken down. If the notify is handled with a NOTIFY_STOP return, the system is given a new lease on life. We also change the nmi watchdog to carry on if die_nmi returns. This give debug code a chance to a) catch watchdog timeouts and b) possibly allow the system to continue, realizing that the time out may be due to debugger activities such as single stepping which is usually done with "other" cpus held.

The pushf/popf in switch_to are ONLY used to switch IOPL. Making this explicit in C code is more clear. This pushf/popf pair was added as a bugfix for leaking IOPL to unprivileged processes when using sysenter/sysexit based system calls (sysexit does not restore flags). When requesting an IOPL change in sys_iopl(), it is just as easy to change the current flags and the flags in the stack image (in case an IRET is required), but there is no reason to force an IRET if we came in from the SYSENTER path. This change is the minimal solution for supporting a paravirtualized Linux kernel that allows user processes to run with I/O privilege. Other solutions require radical rewrites of part of the low level fault / system call handling code, or do not fully support sysenter based system calls. Unfortunately, this added one field to the thread_struct. But as a bonus, on P4, the fastest time measured for switch_to() went from 312 to 260 cycles, a win of about 17% in the fast case through this performance critical path. Signed-off-by:

Privilege checking cleanup. Originally, these diffs were much greater, but recent cleanups in Linux have already done much of the cleanup. I added some explanatory comments in places where the reasoning behind certain tests is rather subtle. Also, in traps.c, we can skip the user_mode check in handle_BUG(). The reason is, there are only two call chains - one via die_if_kernel() and one via do_page_fault(), both entering from die(). Both of these paths already ensure that a kernel mode failure has happened. Also, the original check here, if (user_mode(regs)) was insufficient anyways, since it would not rule out BUG faults from V8086 mode execution. Saving the %ss segment in show_regs() rather than assuming a fixed value also gives better information about the current kernel state in the register dump. Signed-off-by:

Also, setting PDPEs in PAE mode does not require atomic operations, since the PDPEs are cached by the processor, and only reloaded on an explicit or implicit reload of CR3. Since the four PDPEs must always be present in an active root, and the kernel PDPE is never updated, we are safe even from SMIs and interrupts / NMIs using task gates (which reload CR3). Actually, much of this is moot, since the user PDPEs are never updated either, and the only usage of task gates is by the doublefault handler. It appears the only place PGDs get updated in PAE mode is in init_low_mappings() / zap_low_mapping() for initial page table creation and recovery from ACPI sleep state, and these sites are safe by inspection. Getting rid of the cmpxchg8b saves code space and 720 cycles in pgd_alloc on P4. Signed-off-by:

Subtle fix: load_TLS has been moved after saving %fs and %gs segments to avoid creating non-reversible segments. This could conceivably cause a bug if the kernel ever needed to save and restore fs/gs from the NMI handler. It currently does not, but this is the safest approach to avoiding fs/gs corruption. SMIs are safe, since SMI saves the descriptor hidden state. Signed-off-by:

i386 inline assembler cleanup. This change encapsulates descriptor and task register management. Also, it is possible to improve assembler generation in two cases; savesegment may store the value in a register instead of a memory location, which allows GCC to optimize stack variables into registers, and MOV MEM, SEG is always a 16-bit write to memory, making the casting in math-emu unnecessary.

i386 arch cleanup. Introduce the serialize macro to serialize processor state. Why the microcode update needs it I am not quite sure, since wrmsr() is already a serializing instruction, but it is a microcode update, so I will keep the semantic the same, since this could be a timing workaround. As far as I can tell, this has always been there since the original microcode update source. Signed-off-by:

i386 Inline asm cleanup. Use cr/dr accessor functions. Also, a potential bugfix. Also, some CR accessors really should be volatile. Reads from CR0 (numeric state may change in an exception handler), writes to CR4 (flipping CR4.TSD) and reads from CR2 (page fault) prevent instruction re-ordering. I did not add memory clobber to CR3 / CR4 / CR0 updates, as it was not there to begin with, and in no case should kernel memory be clobbered, except when doing a TLB flush, which already has memory clobber. I noticed that page invalidation does not have a memory clobber. I can't find a bug as a result, but there is definitely a potential for a bug here: #define __flush_tlb_single(addr) \ __asm__ __volatile__("invlpg %0": :"m" (*(char *) addr)) Signed-off-by: -

o With introduction of kexec as boot-loader, the assumption that parameter segment will always be loaded at lower address than kernel and will be addressable by early bootup page tables is no longer valid. In kexec on panic case parameter segment might well be loaded beyond kernel image and might not be addressable by early boot page tables. o This case might hit in the scenario where user has reserved a chunk of memory for second kernel, for example 16MB to 64MB, and has also built second kernel for physical memory location 16MB. In this case kexec has no choice but to load the parameter segment at a higher address than new kernel image at safe location where new kernel does not stomp it. o Though problem should automatically go away once relocatable kernel for i386 is in place and kexec can determine the location of new kernel at run time and load parameter segment at lower address than kernel image. But till then this patch can go in (assuming it does not break something else). o This patch moves up the boot parameter saving code. Now boot parameters are copied out in protected mode before page tables are initialized. This will ensure that parameter segment is always addressable irrespective of its physical location.

If the virtual 86 machine reaches an instruction which raises a General Protection Fault (such as CLI or STI), the instruction is emulated (in handle_vm86_fault). However, the emulation ignored the TF bit, so the hardware debug interrupt was not invoked after such an emulated instruction (and the DOS debugger missed it). This patch fixes the problem by emulating the hardware debug interrupt as the last action before control is returned to the VM86 program. Signed-off-by:

The memory descriptors that comprise the EFI memory map are not fixed in stone such that the size could change in the future. This uses the memory descriptor size obtained from EFI to iterate over the memory map entries during boot. This enables the removal of an x86 specific pad (and ifdef) in the EFI header. I also couldn't stomach the broken up nature of the function to put EFI runtime calls into virtual mode any longer so I fixed that up a bit as well. For reference, this patch only impacts x86.

This patch pushes the creation of a rare signal frame (SIGBUS or SIGSEGV) into a separate function, thus saving stackspace in the main do_page_fault() stackframe. The effect is 132 bytes less of stack used by the typical do_page_fault() invocation - resulting in a denser cache-layout. (Another minor effect is that in case of kernel crashes that come from a pagefault, we add less space to the already existing frame, giving the crash functions a slightly higher chance to do their stuff without overflowing the stack.)
