This (simplified) piece of code didn't behave as expected due to incorrect constraints in some of the bitops functions, when X86_FEATURE_xxx is referring to other than the first long: int test(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) { if (cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_xxx)) clear_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_xxx); return cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_xxx); } I'd really like understand, though, what the policy of (not) having a "memory" clobber in these operations is - currently, this appears to be totally inconsistent. Also, many comments of the non-atomic functions say those may also be re-ordered - this contradicts the use of "asm volatile" in there, which again I'd like to understand. As much as all of these, using 'int' for the 'nr' parameter and 'void *' for the 'addr' one is in conflict with Documentation/atomic_ops.txt, especially because bt{,c,r,s} indeed take the bit index as signed (which hence would really need special precaution) and access the full 32 bits (if 'unsigned long' was used properly here, 64 bits for x86-64) pointed at, so invalid uses like referencing a 'char' array cannot currently be caught. Finally, the code with and without this patch relies heavily on the -fno-strict-aliasing compiler switch and I'm not certain this really is a good idea. In the light of all of this I'm sending this as RFC, as fixing the above might warrant a much bigger patch...

Bug fixes for reserve_memtype() call in __ioremap and pci_mmap_page_range(). If reserve_memtype returns non-zero, then it is an error and subsequent free is not required.

Add reserve_memtype and free_memtype wrapper for pci_mmap_page_range. Free is called on unmap, but identity map continues to be mapped as per pci_mmap_page_range request, until next request for the same region calls ioremap_change_attr(), which will go through without conflict. This way of mapping is identical to one used in ioremap/iounmap.

Use reserve_memtype and free_memtype interfaces in set_memory_uc/set_memory_wb interfaces to avoid aliasing. Usage model of set_memory_uc and set_memory_wb is for RAM memory and users will first call set_memory_uc and call set_memory_wb after use to reset the attribute.

Sets up pat_init() infrastructure. PAT MSR has following setting. PAT |PCD ||PWT ||| 000 WB _PAGE_CACHE_WB 001 WC _PAGE_CACHE_WC 010 UC- _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS 011 UC _PAGE_CACHE_UC We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC. UC_MINUS is used to provide backward compatibility to existing /dev/mem users(X). reserve_memtype and free_memtype are new interfaces for maintaining alias-free mapping. It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT. pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr are same.

I was trying to get the address of instruction to be executed next after the kprobed instruction. But regs->eip in post_handler() contains value which is useless to the user. It's pre-corrected value. This value is difficult to use without access to resume_execution(), which is not exported anyway. I moved the invocation of post_handler() to *after* resume_execution(). Now regs->eip contains meaningful value in post_handler(). I do not think this change breaks any backward-compatibility. To make meaning of the old value, post_handler() would need access to resume_execution() which is not exported. I have difficulty to believe that previous, uncorrected, regs->eip can be meaningfully used in post_handler().

The previous "x86_64 ia32 ptrace vs -ENOSYS" fix only covered the int $0x80 system call entries. This does the same fix for the sysenter and syscall instruction paths. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
-
Roland McGrath authored
When we're stopped at syscall entry tracing, ptrace can change the %rax value from -ENOSYS to something else. If no system call is actually made because the syscall number (now in orig_rax) is bad, then we now always reset %rax to -ENOSYS again. This changes it to leave the return value alone after entry tracing. That way, the %rax value set by ptrace is there to be seen in user mode (or in syscall exit tracing). This is consistent with what the 32-bit kernel does. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

When we're stopped at syscall entry tracing, ptrace can change the %eax value from -ENOSYS to something else. If no system call is actually made because the syscall number (now in orig_eax) is bad, then the %eax value set by ptrace should be returned to the user. But, instead it gets reset to -ENOSYS again. This is a regression from the native 32-bit kernel. This change fixes it by leaving the return value alone after entry tracing.
