#define _COMPONENT ACPI_PCI_COMPONENT
|
|
|
|
Bits in debug_level correspond to a level in

|
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statements, e.g.,
|
|
|
|
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, ...

2013-07-22 15:08:25 +07:00
|
|
|
'acpi_osi=!' can be used in combination with single or
|
|
|
|
multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific OS
|
|
|
|
vendor string(s). Note that such command can only
|
|
|
|
affect the default state of the OS vendor strings, thus
|
|
|
|
it cannot affect the default state of the feature group
|
|
|
|
strings and the current state of the OS vendor strings,
|
|
|
|
specifying it multiple times through kernel command line
|
2013-07-22 15:08:36 +07:00
|
|
|
is meaningless. This command is useful when one do not
|
|
|
|
care about the state of the feature group strings which
|
|
|
|
should be controlled by the OSPM.
|
2013-07-22 15:08:25 +07:00
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
1. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is equivalent
|
|
|
|
to 'acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!', they all
|
|
|
|
can make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'acpi_osi=' cannot be used in combination with other
|
|
|
|
'acpi_osi=' command lines, the _OSI method will not
|
|
|
|
exist in the ACPI namespace. NOTE that such command can
|
|
|
|
only affect the _OSI support state, thus specifying it
|
|
|
|
multiple times through kernel command line is also
|
|
|
|
meaningless.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
1. 'acpi_osi=' can make 'CondRefOf(_OSI, Local1)'
|
|
|
|
FALSE.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-22 15:08:36 +07:00
|
|
|
'acpi_osi=!*' can be used in combination with single or
|
|
|
|
multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific
|
|
|
|
string(s). Note that such command can affect the
|
|
|
|
current state of both the OS vendor strings and the
|
|
|
|
feature group strings, thus specifying it multiple times
|
|
|
|
through kernel command line is meaningful. But it may
|
|
|
|
still not able to affect the final state of a string if
|
|
|
|
there are quirks related to this string. This command
|
|
|
|
is useful when one want to control the state of the
|
|
|
|
feature group strings to debug BIOS issues related to
|
|
|
|
the OSPM features.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
1. 'acpi_osi="Module Device" acpi_osi=!*' can make
|
|
|
|
'_OSI("Module Device")' FALSE.
|
|
|
|
2. 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device"' can make
|
|
|
|
'_OSI("Module Device")' TRUE.
|
|
|
|
3. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is
|
|
|
|
equivalent to
|
|
|
|
'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"'
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!',

they all will make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.

s3_bios and s3_mode.
|
|
|
|
s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
|
|
|
|
as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
|
|
|
|
s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
|
|
|
|
used during resume from hibernation.
|
|
|
|
old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
|
|
|
|
control method, with respect to putting devices into
|
|
|
|
low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
|
|
|
|
of _PTS is used by default).
|
2010-07-24 03:59:09 +07:00
|

nonvs prevents the kernel from saving/restoring the

ACPI NVS memory during suspend/hibernation and resume.
|
2009-12-30 14:36:42 +07:00
|
|
|
sci_force_enable causes the kernel to set SCI_EN directly
|
|
|

alloc_snapshot [FTRACE]
|
|
|
|
Allocate the ftrace snapshot buffer on boot up when the
|
|
|
|
main buffer is allocated. This is handy if debugging
|
|
|
|
and you need to use tracing_snapshot() on boot up, and
|
|
|
|
do not want to use tracing_snapshot_alloc() as it needs
|
|
|
|
to be done where GFP_KERNEL allocations are allowed.

ACPI / APEI: Add Boot Error Record Table (BERT) support
ACPI/APEI is designed to verifiy/report H/W errors, like Corrected
Error(CE) and Uncorrected Error(UC). It contains four tables: HEST,
ERST, EINJ and BERT. The first three tables have been merged for
a long time, but because of lacking BIOS support for BERT, the
support for BERT is pending until now. Recently on ARM 64 platform
it is has been supported. So here we come.
Under normal circumstances, when a hardware error occurs, kernel will
be notified via NMI, MCE or some other method, then kernel will
process the error condition, report it, and recover it if possible.
But sometime, the situation is so bad, so that firmware may choose to
reset directly without notifying Linux kernel.
Linux kernel can use the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) to get the
un-notified hardware errors that occurred in a previous boot. In this
patch, the error information is reported via printk.
For more information about BERT, please refer to ACPI Specification
version 6.0, section 18.3.1:
http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6.0.pdf
The following log is a BERT record after system reboot because of hitting
a fatal memory error:
BERT: Error records from previous boot:
[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
[Hardware Error]: event severity: corrected
[Hardware Error]: Error 0, type: recoverable
[Hardware Error]: section_type: memory error
[Hardware Error]: error_status: 0x0000000000000400
[Hardware Error]: physical_address: 0xffffffffffffffff
[Hardware Error]: card: 1 module: 2 bank: 3 row: 1 column: 2 bit_position: 5
[Hardware Error]: error_type: 2, single-bit ECC
[Tomasz Nowicki: Clear error status at the end of error handling]

[CLK]

|
|
|
Prevents the clock framework from automatically gating
|
|
|
|
clocks that have not been explicitly enabled by a Linux
|
|
|
|
device driver but are enabled in hardware at reset or
|
|
|
|
by the bootloader/firmware. Note that this does not
|
|
|
|
force such clocks to be always-on nor does it reserve
|
|
|
|
those clocks in any way. This parameter is useful for
|
|
|
|
debug and development, but should not be needed on a
|
|
|
|
platform with proper driver support. For more
|
|
|
|
information, see Documentation/clk.txt.

serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250
Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.
Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.
new command line will be:
console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
it will print in very early stage:
Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

x86, kdump: Change crashkernel_high/low= to crashkernel=,high/low
Per hpa, use crashkernel=X,high crashkernel=Y,low instead of
crashkernel_hign=X crashkernel_low=Y. As that could be extensible.
-v2: according to Vivek, change delimiter to ;
-v3: let hign and low only handle simple form and it conforms to
description in kernel-parameters.txt
still keep crashkernel=X override any crashkernel=X,high
crashkernel=Y,low
-v4: update get_last_crashkernel returning and add more strict
checking in parse_crashkernel_simple() found by HATAYAMA.
-v5: Change delimiter back to , according to HPA.
also separate parse_suffix from parse_simper according to vivek.
so we can avoid @pos in that path.
-v6: Tight the checking about crashkernel=X,highblahblah,high
found by HTYAYAMA.

x86, apic, kexec: Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter
Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter. To use this kernel parameter,
specify an initial APIC ID of the corresponding CPU you want to
disable.
This is mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to disable BSP to wake up
multiple CPUs without causing system reset or hang due to sending INIT
from AP to BSP.
Kdump users first figure out initial APIC ID of the BSP, CPU0 in the
1st kernel, for example from /proc/cpuinfo and then set up this kernel
parameter for the 2nd kernel using the obtained APIC ID.
However, doing this procedure at each boot time manually is awkward,
which should be automatically done by user-land service scripts, for
example, kexec-tools on fedora/RHEL distributions.
This design is more flexible than disabling BSP in kernel boot time
automatically in that in kernel boot time we have no choice but
referring to ACPI/MP table to obtain initial APIC ID for BSP, meaning
that the method is not applicable to the systems without such BIOS
tables.
One assumption behind this design is that users get initial APIC ID of
the BSP in still healthy state and so BSP is uniquely kept in
CPU0. Thus, through the kernel parameter, only one initial APIC ID can
be specified.
In a comparison with disabled_cpu_apicid, we use read_apic_id(), not
boot_cpu_physical_apicid, because on some platforms, the variable is
modified to the apicid reported as BSP through MP table and this
function is executed with the temporarily modified
boot_cpu_physical_apicid. As a result, disabled_cpu_apicid kernel
parameter doesn't work well for apicids of APs.
Fixing the wrong handling of boot_cpu_physical_apicid requires some
reviews and tests beyond some platforms and it could take some
time. The fix here is a kind of workaround to focus on the main topic
of this patch.

disable_mtrr_trim [X86, Intel and AMD only]
|
x86, 32-bit: trim memory not covered by wb mtrrs
On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all
available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be
marked uncached. Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses
first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel
starts really using memory (i.e. right around init time).
This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and
figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code)
goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match. A
fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that
not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug.
Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering
would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the
boot_cpu_data structure being setup.
This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on
non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested
on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

x86/efi: Retrieve and assign Apple device properties
Apple's EFI drivers supply device properties which are needed to support
Macs optimally. They contain vital information which cannot be obtained
any other way (e.g. Thunderbolt Device ROM). They're also used to convey
the current device state so that OS drivers can pick up where EFI
drivers left (e.g. GPU mode setting).
There's an EFI driver dubbed "AAPL,PathProperties" which implements a
per-device key/value store. Other EFI drivers populate it using a custom
protocol. The macOS bootloader /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
retrieves the properties with the same protocol. The kernel extension
AppleACPIPlatform.kext subsequently merges them into the I/O Kit
registry (see ioreg(8)) where they can be queried by other kernel
extensions and user space.
This commit extends the efistub to retrieve the device properties before
ExitBootServices is called. It assigns them to devices in an fs_initcall
so that they can be queried with the API in <linux/property.h>.
Note that the device properties will only be available if the kernel is
booted with the efistub. Distros should adjust their installers to
always use the efistub on Macs. grub with the "linux" directive will not
work unless the functionality of this commit is duplicated in grub.
(The "linuxefi" directive should work but is not included upstream as of
this writing.)
The custom protocol has GUID 91BD12FE-F6C3-44FB-A5B7-5122AB303AE0 and
looks like this:
typedef struct {
unsigned long version; /* 0x10000 */
efi_status_t (*get) (
IN struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
IN struct efi_dev_path *device,
IN efi_char16_t *property_name,
OUT void *buffer,
IN OUT u32 *buffer_len);
/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_NOT_FOUND, EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL */
efi_status_t (*set) (
IN struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
IN struct efi_dev_path *device,
IN efi_char16_t *property_name,
IN void *property_value,
IN u32 property_value_len);
/* allocates copies of property name and value */
/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES */
efi_status_t (*del) (
IN struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
IN struct efi_dev_path *device,
IN efi_char16_t *property_name);
/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_NOT_FOUND */
efi_status_t (*get_all) (
IN struct apple_properties_protocol *this,
OUT void *buffer,
IN OUT u32 *buffer_len);
/* EFI_SUCCESS, EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL */
} apple_properties_protocol;
Thanks to Pedro Vilaça for this blog post which was helpful in reverse
engineering Apple's EFI drivers and bootloader:
https://reverse.put.as/2016/06/25/apple-efi-firmware-passwords-and-the-scbo-myth/
If someone at Apple is reading this, please note there's a memory leak
in your implementation of the del() function as the property struct is
freed but the name and value allocations are not.
Neither the macOS bootloader nor Apple's EFI drivers check the protocol
version, but we do to avoid breakage if it's ever changed. It's been the
same since at least OS X 10.6 (2009).
The get_all() function conveniently fills a buffer with all properties
in marshalled form which can be passed to the kernel as a setup_data
payload. The number of device properties is dynamic and can change
between a first invocation of get_all() (to determine the buffer size)
and a second invocation (to retrieve the actual buffer), hence the
peculiar loop which does not finish until the buffer size settles.
The macOS bootloader does the same.
The setup_data payload is later on unmarshalled in an fs_initcall. The
idea is that most buses instantiate devices in "subsys" initcall level
and drivers are usually bound to these devices in "device" initcall
level, so we assign the properties in-between, i.e. in "fs" initcall
level.
This assumes that devices to which properties pertain are instantiated
from a "subsys" initcall or earlier. That should always be the case
since on macOS, AppleACPIPlatformExpert::matchEFIDevicePath() only
supports ACPI and PCI nodes and we've fully scanned those buses during
"subsys" initcall level.
The second assumption is that properties are only needed from a "device"
initcall or later. Seems reasonable to me, but should this ever not work
out, an alternative approach would be to store the property sets e.g. in
a btree early during boot. Then whenever device_add() is called, an EFI
Device Path would have to be constructed for the newly added device,
and looked up in the btree. That way, the property set could be assigned
to the device immediately on instantiation. And this would also work for
devices instantiated in a deferred fashion. It seems like this approach
would be more complicated and require more code. That doesn't seem
justified without a specific use case.
For comparison, the strategy on macOS is to assign properties to objects
in the ACPI namespace (AppleACPIPlatformExpert::mergeEFIProperties()).
That approach is definitely wrong as it fails for devices not present in
the namespace: The NHI EFI driver supplies properties for attached
Thunderbolt devices, yet on Macs with Thunderbolt 1 only one device
level behind the host controller is described in the namespace.
Consequently macOS cannot assign properties for chained devices. With
Thunderbolt 2 they started to describe three device levels behind host
controllers in the namespace but this grossly inflates the SSDT and
still fails if the user daisy-chained more than three devices.
We copy the property names and values from the setup_data payload to
swappable virtual memory and afterwards make the payload available to
the page allocator. This is just for the sake of good housekeeping, it
wouldn't occupy a meaningful amount of physical memory (4444 bytes on my
machine). Only the payload is freed, not the setup_data header since
otherwise we'd break the list linkage and we cannot safely update the
predecessor's ->next link because there's no locking for the list.
The payload is currently not passed on to kexec'ed kernels, same for PCI
ROMs retrieved by setup_efi_pci(). This can be added later if there is
demand by amending setup_efi_state(). The payload can then no longer be
made available to the page allocator of course.

For K8 system: 4G RAM with memory hole remapping enabled, or more than
4G RAM installed.
when try to use kexec second kernel, and the first doesn't include
gart_shutdown. the second kernel could have different aper position than
the first kernel. and second kernel could use that hole as RAM that is
still used by GART set by the first kernel. esp. when try to kexec
2.6.24 with sparse mem enable from previous kernel (from RHEL 5 or SLES
10). the new kernel will use aper by GART (set by first kernel) for
vmemmap. and after new kernel setting one new GART. the position will be
real RAM. the _mapcount set is lost.

add e820 modification for gart inconsistent setting.
gart_fix_e820=off could be used to disable e820 fix.

ieee754= [MIPS] Select IEEE Std 754 conformance mode
|

|
|
Format: { strict | legacy | 2008 | relaxed }
|
|
|
|
Default: strict
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Choose which programs will be accepted for execution
|
|
|
|
based on the IEEE 754 NaN encoding(s) supported by
|
|
|
|
the FPU and the NaN encoding requested with the value
|
|
|
|
of an ELF file header flag individually set by each
|
|
|
|
binary. Hardware implementations are permitted to
|
|
|
|
support either or both of the legacy and the 2008 NaN
|
|
|
|
encoding mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Available settings are as follows:
|
|
|
|
strict accept binaries that request a NaN encoding
|
|
|
|
supported by the FPU
|
|
|
|
legacy only accept legacy-NaN binaries, if supported
|
|
|
|
by the FPU
|
|
|
|
2008 only accept 2008-NaN binaries, if supported
|
|
|
|
by the FPU
|
|
|
|
relaxed accept any binaries regardless of whether
|
|
|
|
supported by the FPU
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The FPU emulator is always able to support both NaN
|
|
|
|
encodings, so if no FPU hardware is present or it has
|
|
|
|
been disabled with 'nofpu', then the settings of
|
|
|
|
'legacy' and '2008' strap the emulator accordingly,
|
|
|
|
'relaxed' straps the emulator for both legacy-NaN and
|
|
|
|
2008-NaN, whereas 'strict' enables legacy-NaN only on
|
|
|
|
legacy processors and both NaN encodings on MIPS32 or
|
|
|
|
MIPS64 CPUs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The setting for ABS.fmt/NEG.fmt instruction execution
|
|
|
|
mode generally follows that for the NaN encoding,
|
|
|
|
except where unsupported by hardware.

ima: integrity appraisal extension
IMA currently maintains an integrity measurement list used to assert the
integrity of the running system to a third party. The IMA-appraisal
extension adds local integrity validation and enforcement of the
measurement against a "good" value stored as an extended attribute
'security.ima'. The initial methods for validating 'security.ima' are
hashed based, which provides file data integrity, and digital signature
based, which in addition to providing file data integrity, provides
authenticity.
This patch creates and maintains the 'security.ima' xattr, containing
the file data hash measurement. Protection of the xattr is provided by
EVM, if enabled and configured.
Based on policy, IMA calls evm_verifyxattr() to verify a file's metadata
integrity and, assuming success, compares the file's current hash value
with the one stored as an extended attribute in 'security.ima'.
Changelov v4:
- changed iint cache flags to hex values
Changelog v3:
- change appraisal default for filesystems without xattr support to fail
Changelog v2:
- fix audit msg 'res' value
- removed unused 'ima_appraise=' values
Changelog v1:
- removed unused iint mutex (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- setattr hook must not reset appraised (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- evm_verifyxattr() now differentiates between no 'security.evm' xattr
(INTEGRITY_NOLABEL) and no EVM 'protected' xattrs included in the
'security.evm' (INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS).
- replace hash_status with ima_status (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- re-initialize slab element ima_status on free (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- include 'security.ima' in EVM if CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE, not CONFIG_IMA
- merged half "ima: ima_must_appraise_or_measure API change" (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- removed unnecessary error variable in process_measurement() (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- use ima_inode_post_setattr() stub function, if IMA_APPRAISE not configured
(moved ima_inode_post_setattr() to ima_appraise.c)
- make sure ima_collect_measurement() can read file
Changelog:
- add 'iint' to evm_verifyxattr() call (Dimitry Kasatkin)
- fix the race condition between chmod, which takes the i_mutex and then
iint->mutex, and ima_file_free() and process_measurement(), which take
the locks in the reverse order, by eliminating iint->mutex. (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- cleanup of ima_appraise_measurement() (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- changes as a result of the iint not allocated for all regular files, but
only for those measured/appraised.
- don't try to appraise new/empty files
- expanded ima_appraisal description in ima/Kconfig
- IMA appraise definitions required even if IMA_APPRAISE not enabled
- add return value to ima_must_appraise() stub
- unconditionally set status = INTEGRITY_PASS *after* testing status,
not before. (Found by Joe Perches)

ima: add appraise action keywords and default rules
Unlike the IMA measurement policy, the appraise policy can not be dependent
on runtime process information, such as the task uid, as the 'security.ima'
xattr is written on file close and must be updated each time the file changes,
regardless of the current task uid.
This patch extends the policy language with 'fowner', defines an appraise
policy, which appraises all files owned by root, and defines 'ima_appraise_tcb',
a new boot command line option, to enable the appraise policy.
Changelog v3:
- separate the measure from the appraise rules in order to support measuring
without appraising and appraising without measuring.
- change appraisal default for filesystems without xattr support to fail
- update default appraise policy for cgroups
Changelog v1:
- don't appraise RAMFS (Dmitry Kasatkin)
- merged rest of "ima: ima_must_appraise_or_measure API change" commit
(Dmtiry Kasatkin)
ima_must_appraise_or_measure() called ima_match_policy twice, which
searched the policy for a matching rule. Once for a matching measurement
rule and subsequently for an appraisal rule. Searching the policy twice
is unnecessary overhead, which could be noticeable with a large policy.
The new version of ima_must_appraise_or_measure() does everything in a
single iteration using a new version of ima_match_policy(). It returns
IMA_MEASURE, IMA_APPRAISE mask.
With the use of action mask only one efficient matching function
is enough. Removed other specific versions of matching functions.
Changelog:
- change 'owner' to 'fowner' to conform to the new LSM conditions posted by
Roberto Sassu.
- fix calls to ima_log_string()

x86/pkeys: Default to a restrictive init PKRU
PKRU is the register that lets you disallow writes or all access to a given
protection key.
The XSAVE hardware defines an "init state" of 0 for PKRU: its most
permissive state, allowing access/writes to everything. Since we start off
all new processes with the init state, we start all processes off with the
most permissive possible PKRU.
This is unfortunate. If a thread is clone()'d [1] before a program has
time to set PKRU to a restrictive value, that thread will be able to write
to all data, no matter what pkey is set on it. This weakens any integrity
guarantees that we want pkeys to provide.
To fix this, we define a very restrictive PKRU to override the
XSAVE-provided value when we create a new FPU context. We choose a value
that only allows access to pkey 0, which is as restrictive as we can
practically make it.
This does not cause any practical problems with applications using
protection keys because we require them to specify initial permissions for
each key when it is allocated, which override the restrictive default.
In the end, this ensures that threads which do not know how to manage their
own pkey rights can not do damage to data which is pkey-protected.
I would have thought this was a pretty contrived scenario, except that I
heard a bug report from an MPX user who was creating threads in some very
early code before main(). It may be crazy, but folks evidently _do_ it.

intel-iommu: Enable super page (2MiB, 1GiB, etc.) support
There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the
internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping:
- size >= 2MiB, and
- virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and
- physical address aligned to 2MiB, and
- on hardware that supports superpages.
(and likewise for larger superpages).
We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to
worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always
*unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure
that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages.
Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so
it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always
extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is
simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small
pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same
virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page
tables freed.
Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a
chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required.

The original commit seen in the iommu-2.6.git was Youquan's
implementation (and completion) of my own half-baked code which I'd
typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'.
I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the
original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make
life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to
older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment
which (hopefully) gives a better explanation of what's going on.
The original sequence of commits leading to identical code was:
Youquan Song (3):
intel-iommu: super page support
intel-iommu: Fix superpage alignment calculation error
intel-iommu: Fix superpage level calculation error in dma_pfn_level_pte()
David Woodhouse (4):
intel-iommu: Precalculate superpage support for dmar_domain
intel-iommu: Fix hardware_largepage_caps()
intel-iommu: Fix inappropriate use of superpages in __domain_mapping()

Update the maximum depth of C-state from 6 to 9
Hi Jon,
This patch is an old one, we have corrected some minor issues on the newer one.
Please only review the newest version from my last mail with this subject
"[PATCH] ACPI: Update the maximum depth of C-state from 6 to 9".
And I also attached it to this mail.
Thanks,

Currently, CPUIDLE_STATE_MAX has been defined as 10 in the cpuidle head file,

isolcpus= [KNL,SMP] Isolate CPUs from the general scheduler.
|
2016-10-12 03:51:35 +07:00
|
|
|
The argument is a cpu list, as described above.
|
2008-11-07 03:53:39 +07:00
|
|
|
|
2005-04-17 05:20:36 +07:00
|
|
|
This option can be used to specify one or more CPUs
|
|
|
|
to isolate from the general SMP balancing and scheduling
|
2008-11-07 03:53:39 +07:00
|
|
|
algorithms. You can move a process onto or off an
|
|
|
|
"isolated" CPU via the CPU affinity syscalls or cpuset.
|
2005-04-17 05:20:36 +07:00
|
|
|
<cpu number> begins at 0 and the maximum value is
|
|
|
|
"number of CPUs in system - 1".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This option is the preferred way to isolate CPUs. The
|
2005-10-24 02:57:11 +07:00
|
|
|
alternative -- manually setting the CPU mask of all
|
|
|
|
tasks in the system -- can cause problems and
|
|
|
|
suboptimal load balancer performance.

kernelcore= [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC]
|
|
|
|
Format: nn[KMGTPE] | "mirror"
|
|
|
|
This parameter
|
2007-07-17 18:03:14 +07:00
|
|
|
specifies the amount of memory usable by the kernel
|
|
|
|
for non-movable allocations. The requested amount is
|
|
|
|
spread evenly throughout all nodes in the system. The
|
|
|
|
remaining memory in each node is used for Movable
|
|
|
|
pages. In the event, a node is too small to have both
|
|
|
|
kernelcore and Movable pages, kernelcore pages will
|
|
|
|
take priority and other nodes will have a larger number
|
2013-10-01 03:45:10 +07:00
|
|
|
of Movable pages. The Movable zone is used for the
|
2007-07-17 18:03:14 +07:00
|
|
|
allocation of pages that may be reclaimed or moved
|
|
|
|
by the page migration subsystem. This means that
|
|
|
|
HugeTLB pages may not be allocated from this zone.
|
|
|
|
Note that allocations like PTEs-from-HighMem still
|
|
|
|
use the HighMem zone if it exists, and the Normal
|
|
|
|
zone if it does not.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-03-16 04:55:22 +07:00
|
|
|
Instead of specifying the amount of memory (nn[KMGTPE]),
|
|
|
|
you can specify "mirror" option. In case "mirror"
|
|
|
|
option is specified, mirrored (reliable) memory is used
|
|
|
|
for non-movable allocations and remaining memory is used
|
|
|
|
for Movable pages. nn[KMGTPE] and "mirror" are exclusive,
|
|
|
|
so you can NOT specify nn[KMGTPE] and "mirror" at the same
|
|
|
|
time.

kgdbdbgp= [KGDB,HW] kgdb over EHCI usb debug port.
|
|
|
|
Format: <Controller#>[,poll interval]

port as it is probed via PCI. The poll interval is
|
|
|
|
optional and is the number seconds in between
|

|
|
|
the functionality for interrupting the kernel with

|
PORT[.DEVICE]. PORT and DEVICE are decimal numbers
|
2008-02-13 07:15:09 +07:00
|
|
|
matching port, link or device. Basically, it matches
|
|
|
|
the ATA ID string printed on console by libata. If
|
|
|
|
the whole ID part is omitted, the last PORT and DEVICE
|
|
|

values are used. If ID hasn't been specified yet, the
|
|
|
|
configuration applies to all ports, links and devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If only DEVICE is omitted, the parameter applies to
|
|
|
|
the port and all links and devices behind it. DEVICE
|
|
|
|
number of 0 either selects the first device or the
|
|
|
|
first fan-out link behind PMP device. It does not
|
|
|
|
select the host link. DEVICE number of 15 selects the
|
|
|
|
host link and device attached to it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The VAL specifies the configuration to force. As long
|
|
|
|
as there's no ambiguity shortcut notation is allowed.
|
|
|
|
For example, both 1.5 and 1.5G would work for 1.5Gbps.

lp=0 [LP] Specify parallel ports to use, e.g,
|
|
|
|
lp=port[,port...] lp=none,parport0 (lp0 not configured, lp1 uses
|
|
|
|
lp=reset first parallel port). 'lp=0' disables the
|
|
|
|
lp=auto printer driver. 'lp=reset' (which can be
|
|
|
|
specified in addition to the ports) causes
|
|
|
|
attached printers to be reset. Using
|
|
|
|
lp=port1,port2,... specifies the parallel ports
|
|
|
|
to associate lp devices with, starting with
|
|
|
|
lp0. A port specification may be 'none' to skip
|
|
|
|
that lp device, or a parport name such as
|
|
|
|
'parport0'. Specifying 'lp=auto' instead of a
|
|
|
|
port specification list means that device IDs
|
|
|
|
from each port should be examined, to see if
|
|
|
|
an IEEE 1284-compliant printer is attached; if
|
|
|
|
so, the driver will manage that printer.

lpj=n [KNL]
|
|
|
|
Sets loops_per_jiffy to given constant, thus avoiding
|
|
|
|
time-consuming boot-time autodetection (up to 250 ms per
|
|
|
|
CPU). 0 enables autodetection (default). To determine
|
|
|
|
the correct value for your kernel, boot with normal
|
|
|
|
autodetection and see what value is printed. Note that
|
|
|
|
on SMP systems the preset will be applied to all CPUs,
|
|
|
|
which is likely to cause problems if your CPUs need
|
|
|
|
significantly divergent settings. An incorrect value
|
|
|
|
will cause delays in the kernel to be wrong, leading to
|
|
|
|
unpredictable I/O errors and other breakage. Although
|
|
|
|
unlikely, in the extreme case this might damage your
|
|
|
|
hardware.

the kernel to bring up 'n' processors. Surely after

bootup you can bring up the other plugged cpu by executing

"echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online". So maxcpus

Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: Update 'memmap=' boot option description
In commit:
9710f581bb4c ("x86, mm: Let "memmap=" take more entries one time")
... 'memmap=' was changed to adopt multiple, comma delimited values in a
single entry, so update the related description.
In the special case of only specifying size value without an offset,
like memmap=nn[KMG], memmap behaves similarly to mem=nn[KMG], so update
it too here.
Furthermore, for memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG], an escape character needs be added
before '$' for some bootloaders. E.g in grub2, if we specify memmap=100M$5G
as suggested by the documentation, "memmap=100MG" gets passed to the kernel.
Clarify all this.

memory_corruption_check=0/1 [X86]
|
|
|
|
Some BIOSes seem to corrupt the first 64k of
|
|
|
|
memory when doing things like suspend/resume.
|
|
|
|
Setting this option will scan the memory
|
|
|
|
looking for corruption. Enabling this will
|
|
|
|
both detect corruption and prevent the kernel
|
|
|
|
from using the memory being corrupted.
|
|
|
|
However, its intended as a diagnostic tool; if
|
|
|
|
repeatable BIOS-originated corruption always
|
|
|
|
affects the same memory, you can use memmap=
|
|
|
|
to prevent the kernel from using that memory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
memory_corruption_check_size=size [X86]
|
|
|
|
By default it checks for corruption in the low
|
|
|
|
64k, making this memory unavailable for normal
|
|
|
|
use. Use this parameter to scan for
|
|
|
|
corruption in more or less memory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
memory_corruption_check_period=seconds [X86]
|
|
|
|
By default it checks for corruption every 60

other rate. 0 disables periodic checking.

PM / sleep: System sleep state selection interface rework
There are systems in which the platform doesn't support any special
sleep states, so suspend-to-idle (PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE) is the only
available system sleep state. However, some user space frameworks
only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so
the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be
able to use system suspend at all and that may be a pain in practice.
Commit 0399d4db3edf (PM / sleep: Introduce command line argument for
sleep state enumeration) attempted to address this problem by adding
a command line argument to change the meaning of the "mem" string in
/sys/power/state to make it trigger suspend-to-idle (instead of
suspend-to-RAM).
However, there also are systems in which the platform does support
special sleep states, but suspend-to-idle is the preferred one anyway
(it even may save more energy than the platform-provided sleep states
in some cases) and the above commit doesn't help in those cases.
For this reason, rework the system sleep state selection interface
again (but preserve backwards compatibiliby). Namely, add a new
sysfs file, /sys/power/mem_sleep, that will control the system
suspend mode triggered by writing "mem" to /sys/power/state (in
analogy with what /sys/power/disk does for hibernation). Make it
select suspend-to-RAM ("deep" sleep) by default (if supported) and
fall back to suspend-to-idle ("s2idle") otherwise and add a new
command line argument, mem_sleep_default, allowing that default to
be overridden if need be.
At the same time, drop the relative_sleep_states command line
argument that doesn't make sense any more.

movable_node [KNL] Boot-time switch to make hotplugable memory
|
|
|
|
NUMA nodes to be movable. This means that the memory
|
|
|
|
of such nodes will be usable only for movable
|
|
|
|
allocations which rules out almost all kernel
|
|
|
|
allocations. Use with caution!
|
mem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot option
The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable.
As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it
cannot be hot-removed. So memory hotplug users may want to set all
hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it.
Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has
ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed.
But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE. By doing this, the
kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes. This will cause NUMA
performance down. And other users may be unhappy.
So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality.
In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to
choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later
we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE.
To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock
allocation direction. That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is
parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in
the previous patches. So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel
does the following:
1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up.
2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory
top down.
Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this
functionality. For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want
to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything. The kernel
will work as before.

netfilter: accounting rework: ct_extend + 64bit counters (v4)
Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but
it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are
still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters
waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime.
This patch:
- reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure,
- makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(),
- makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n),
- makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs,
- extends counters from 32bit to 64bit,
- renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter,
- enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT),
- set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT
- removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling.
If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend.
Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area
to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with
acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

ensures that both the RPC level authentication

scheme and the NFS level operations agree to use

numeric uids/gids if the mount is using the

disabling idmapping, which can make migration from

sched: Add 'autogroup' scheduling feature: automated per session task groups
A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
a negative impact on desktop interactivity. This patch
implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
groups. Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.
Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
init_task_group. When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
reference to the preveious task group is dropped. Child
processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
refcount. When the last thread of a process exits, the
process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.
At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
its current autogroup is used.
Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
through the proc filesystem:
cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.
echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task.
Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
abuse risk of task group locking.
The feature is enabled from boot by default if
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
the fly via:
echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled
... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.

file capabilities: add no_file_caps switch (v4)
Add a no_file_caps boot option when file capabilities are
compiled into the kernel (CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y).
This allows distributions to ship a kernel with file capabilities
compiled in, without forcing users to use (and understand and
trust) them.
When no_file_caps is specified at boot, then when a process executes
a file, any file capabilities stored with that file will not be
used in the calculation of the process' new capability sets.
This means that booting with the no_file_caps boot option will
not be the same as booting a kernel with file capabilities
compiled out - in particular a task with CAP_SETPCAP will not
have any chance of passing capabilities to another task (which
isn't "really" possible anyway, and which may soon by killed
altogether by David Howells in any case), and it will instead
be able to put new capabilities in its pI. However since fI
will always be empty and pI is masked with fI, it gains the
task nothing.
We also support the extra prctl options, setting securebits and
dropping capabilities from the per-process bounding set.
The other remaining difference is that killpriv, task_setscheduler,
setioprio, and setnice will continue to be hooked. That will
be noticable in the case where a root task changed its uid
while keeping some caps, and another task owned by the new uid
tries to change settings for the more privileged task.

cpu0_hotplug [X86] Turn on CPU0 hotplug feature when
|

|
|
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is off.
|
|
|
|
Some features depend on CPU0. Known dependencies are:
|
|
|
|
1. Resume from suspend/hibernate depends on CPU0.
|
|
|
|
Suspend/hibernate will fail if CPU0 is offline and you
|
|
|
|
need to online CPU0 before suspend/hibernate.
|
|
|
|
2. PIC interrupts also depend on CPU0. CPU0 can't be
|
|
|
|
removed if a PIC interrupt is detected.
|
|
|
|
It's said poweroff/reboot may depend on CPU0 on some
|
|
|
|
machines although I haven't seen such issues so far
|
|
|
|
after CPU0 is offline on a few tested machines.
|
|
|
|
If the dependencies are under your control, you can
|
|
|
|
turn on cpu0_hotplug.

Rather than timing out after 20 ms if an EC

mm/page_owner: keep track of page owners
This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It
is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.
This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When
allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
analyze it from this stored information.
In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
without considerable memory waste.
Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the
trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.
Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For
example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this
patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature
using this interface.
I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.
Below is people who has "Signed-off-by" in the patches in Andrew's tree.

because some panic notifiers can make the crashed

PCI: optionally sort device lists breadth-first
Problem:
New Dell PowerEdge servers have 2 embedded ethernet ports, which are
labeled NIC1 and NIC2 on the chassis, in the BIOS setup screens, and
in the printed documentation. Assuming no other add-in ethernet ports
in the system, Linux 2.4 kernels name these eth0 and eth1
respectively. Many people have come to expect this naming. Linux 2.6
kernels name these eth1 and eth0 respectively (backwards from
expectations). I also have reports that various Sun and HP servers
have similar behavior.
Root cause:
Linux 2.4 kernels walk the pci_devices list, which happens to be
sorted in breadth-first order (or pcbios_find_device order on i386,
which most often is breadth-first also). 2.6 kernels have both the
pci_devices list and the pci_bus_type.klist_devices list, the latter
is what is walked at driver load time to match the pci_id tables; this
klist happens to be in depth-first order.
On systems where, for physical routing reasons, NIC1 appears on a
lower bus number than NIC2, but NIC2's bridge is discovered first in
the depth-first ordering, NIC2 will be discovered before NIC1. If the
list were sorted breadth-first, NIC1 would be discovered before NIC2.
A PowerEdge 1955 system has the following topology which easily
exhibits the difference between depth-first and breadth-first device
lists.
-[0000:00]-+-00.0 Intel Corporation 5000P Chipset Memory Controller Hub
+-02.0-[0000:03-08]--+-00.0-[0000:04-07]--+-00.0-[0000:05-06]----00.0-[0000:06]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC2, 2.4 kernel name eth1, 2.6 kernel name eth0)
+-1c.0-[0000:01-02]----00.0-[0000:02]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC1, 2.4 kernel name eth0, 2.6 kernel name eth1)
Other factors, such as device driver load order and the presence of
PCI slots at various points in the bus hierarchy further complicate
this problem; I'm not trying to solve those here, just restore the
device order, and thus basic behavior, that 2.4 kernels had.
Solution:
The solution can come in multiple steps.
Suggested fix #1: kernel
Patch below optionally sorts the two device lists into breadth-first
ordering to maintain compatibility with 2.4 kernels. It adds two new
command line options:
pci=bfsort
pci=nobfsort
to force the sort order, or not, as you wish. It also adds DMI checks
for the specific Dell systems which exhibit "backwards" ordering, to
make them "right".
Suggested fix #2: udev rules from userland
Many people also have the expectation that embedded NICs are always
discovered before add-in NICs (which this patch does not try to do).
Using the PCI IRQ Routing Table provided by system BIOS, it's easy to
determine which PCI devices are embedded, or if add-in, which PCI slot
they're in. I'm working on a tool that would allow udev to name
ethernet devices in ascending embedded, slot 1 .. slot N order,
subsort by PCI bus/dev/fn breadth-first. It'll be possible to use it
independent of udev as well for those distributions that don't use
udev in their installers.
Suggested fix #3: system board routing rules
One can constrain the system board layout to put NIC1 ahead of NIC2
regardless of breadth-first or depth-first discovery order. This adds
a significant level of complexity to board routing, and may not be
possible in all instances (witness the above systems from several
major manufacturers). I don't want to encourage this particular train
of thought too far, at the expense of not doing #1 or #2 above.
Feedback appreciated. Patch tested on a Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade
with 2.6.18.
You'll also note I took some liberty and temporarily break the klist
abstraction to simplify and speed up the sort algorithm. I think
that's both safe and appropriate in this instance.

PCI: PCIe: Ask BIOS for control of all native services at once
After commit 852972acff8f10f3a15679be2059bb94916cba5d (ACPI: Disable
ASPM if the platform won't provide _OSC control for PCIe) control of
the PCIe Capability Structure is unconditionally requested by
acpi_pci_root_add(), which in principle may cause problems to
happen in two ways. First, the BIOS may refuse to give control of
the PCIe Capability Structure if it is not asked for any of the
_OSC features depending on it at the same time. Second, the BIOS may
assume that control of the _OSC features depending on the PCIe
Capability Structure will be requested in the future and may behave
incorrectly if that doesn't happen. For this reason, control of
the PCIe Capability Structure should always be requested along with
control of any other _OSC features that may depend on it (ie. PCIe
native PME, PCIe native hot-plug, PCIe AER).
Rework the PCIe port driver so that (1) it checks which native PCIe
port services can be enabled, according to the BIOS, and (2) it
requests control of all these services simultaneously. In
particular, this causes pcie_portdrv_probe() to fail if the BIOS
refuses to grant control of the PCIe Capability Structure, which
means that no native PCIe port services can be enabled for the PCIe
Root Complex the given port belongs to. If that happens, ASPM is
disabled to avoid problems with mishandling it by the part of the
PCIe hierarchy for which control of the PCIe Capability Structure
has not been received.
Make it possible to override this behavior using 'pcie_ports=native'
(use the PCIe native services regardless of the BIOS response to the
control request), or 'pcie_ports=compat' (do not use the PCIe native
services at all).
Accordingly, rework the existing PCIe port service drivers so that
they don't request control of the services directly.

rcu: Distinguish "rcuo" kthreads by RCU flavor
Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by
the CPU number, for example, "rcuo". This is problematic given that
there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU
kthread with exactly the same name. This commit therefore introduces
a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh,
'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched. This abbreviation is used
to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have
"rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0".

rcu_nocb_poll [KNL]
|
2012-08-20 11:35:53 +07:00
|
|
|
Rather than requiring that offloaded CPUs
|
|
|
|
(specified by rcu_nocbs= above) explicitly
|
|
|
|
awaken the corresponding "rcuoN" kthreads,
|
|
|
|
make these kthreads poll for callbacks.
|
|
|
|
This improves the real-time response for the
|
|
|
|
offloaded CPUs by relieving them of the need to
|
|
|
|
wake up the corresponding kthread, but degrades
|
|
|
|
energy efficiency by requiring that the kthreads
|
|
|
|
periodically wake up to do the polling.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups
An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.
To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.
For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

rcu: Control grace-period duration from sysfs
Although almost everyone is well-served by the defaults, some uses of RCU
benefit from shorter grace periods, while others benefit more from the
greater efficiency provided by longer grace periods. Situations requiring
a large number of grace periods to elapse (and wireshark startup has
been called out as an example of this) are helped by lower-latency
grace periods. Furthermore, in some embedded applications, people are
willing to accept a small degradation in update efficiency (due to there
being more of the shorter grace-period operations) in order to gain the
lower latency.
In contrast, those few systems with thousands of CPUs need longer grace
periods because the CPU overhead of a grace period rises roughly
linearly with the number of CPUs. Such systems normally do not make
much use of facilities that require large numbers of grace periods to
elapse, so this is a good tradeoff.
Therefore, this commit allows the durations to be controlled from sysfs.
There are two sysfs parameters, one named "jiffies_till_first_fqs" that
specifies the delay in jiffies from the end of grace-period initialization
until the first attempt to force quiescent states, and the other named
"jiffies_till_next_fqs" that specifies the delay (again in jiffies)
between subsequent attempts to force quiescent states. They both default
to three jiffies, which is compatible with the old hard-coded behavior.
At some future time, it may be possible to automatically increase the
grace-period length with the number of CPUs, but we do not yet have
sufficient data to do a good job. Preliminary data indicates that we
should add an addiitonal jiffy to each of the delays for every 200 CPUs
in the system, but more experimentation is needed. For now, the number
of systems with more than 1,000 CPUs is small enough that this can be
relegated to boot-time hand tuning.

real-time latency, CPU utilization, and
|
|
|
|
energy efficiency, but can expose users to
|
|
|
|
increased grace-period latency. This parameter

srcu: Prevent sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed counter wrap
If a given CPU never happens to ever start an SRCU grace period, the
grace-period sequence counter might wrap. If this CPU were to decide to
finally start a grace period, the state of its sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed
might make it appear that it has already requested this grace period,
which would prevent starting the grace period. If no other CPU ever started
a grace period again, this would look like a grace-period hang. Even
if some other CPU took pity and started the needed grace period, the
leaf rcu_node structure's ->srcu_data_have_cbs field won't have record
of the fact that this CPU has a callback pending, which would look like
a very localized grace-period hang.
This might seem very unlikely, but SRCU grace periods can take less than
a microsecond on small systems, which means that overflow can happen
in much less than an hour on a 32-bit embedded system. And embedded
systems are especially likely to have long-term idle CPUs. Therefore,
it makes sense to prevent this scenario from happening.
This commit therefore scans each srcu_data structure occasionally,
with frequency controlled by the srcutree.counter_wrap_check kernel
boot parameter. This parameter can be set to something like 255
in order to exercise the counter-wrap-prevention code.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas
Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.
This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.
Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.
One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).
Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.
Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

PM / sleep: add configurable delay for pm_test
When CONFIG_PM_DEBUG=y, we provide a sysfs file (/sys/power/pm_test) for
selecting one of a few suspend test modes, where rather than entering a
full suspend state, the kernel will perform some subset of suspend
steps, wait 5 seconds, and then resume back to normal operation.
This mode is useful for (among other things) observing the state of the
system just before entering a sleep mode, for debugging or analysis
purposes. However, a constant 5 second wait is not sufficient for some
sorts of analysis; for example, on an SoC, one might want to use
external tools to probe the power states of various on-chip controllers
or clocks.
This patch turns this 5 second delay into a configurable module
parameter, so users can determine how long to wait in this
pseudo-suspend state before resuming the system.
Example (wait 30 seconds);
# echo 30 > /sys/module/suspend/parameters/pm_test_delay
# echo core > /sys/power/pm_test
# time echo mem > /sys/power/state
...
[ 17.583625] suspend debug: Waiting for 30 second(s).

ACPI: thermal: expose "thermal.tzp=" to set global polling frequency
Thermal Zone Polling frequency (_TZP) is an optional ACPI object
recommending the rate that the OS should poll the associated thermal zone.
If _TZP is 0, no polling should be used.
If _TZP is non-zero, then the platform recommends that
the OS poll the thermal zone at the specified rate.
The minimum period is 30 seconds.
The maximum period is 5 minutes.
(note _TZP and thermal.tzp units are in deci-seconds,
so _TZP = 300 corresponds to 30 seconds)
If _TZP is not present, ACPI 3.0b recommends that the
thermal zone be polled at an "OS provided default frequency".
However, common industry practice is:
1. The BIOS never specifies any _TZP
2. High volume OS's from this century never poll any thermal zones
Ie. The OS depends on the platform's ability to
provoke thermal events when necessary, and
the "OS provided default frequency" is "never":-)
There is a proposal that ACPI 4.0 be updated to reflect
common industry practice -- ie. no _TZP, no polling.
The Linux kernel already follows this practice --
thermal zones are not polled unless _TZP is present and non-zero.
But thermal zone polling is useful as a workaround for systems
which have ACPI thermal control, but have an issue preventing
thermal events. Indeed, some Linux distributions still
set a non-zero thermal polling frequency for this reason.
But rather than ask the user to write a polling frequency
into all the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/polling_frequency
files, here we simply document and expose the already
existing module parameter to do the same at system level,
to simplify debugging those broken platforms.
Note that thermal.tzp is a module-load time parameter only.

[PATCH] vdso: randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vma
Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it.
Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which
can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do
single-stepping and other debugging features.
It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same
high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they
get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which
slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the
VDSO).
There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support
for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer
distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning
it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the
predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore.
There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime
/proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned
on/off.
(This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF
coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.)
This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization
code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell
started this patch and i completed it.

Controls the behavior of vsyscalls (i.e. calls to

code). Most statically-linked binaries and older
|
|

versions of glibc use these calls. Because these

functions are at fixed addresses, they make nice

targets for exploits that can control RIP.

native Vsyscalls are native syscall instructions.
|
2011-08-10 22:15:32 +07:00

This is a little bit faster than trapping
|
|

and makes a few dynamic recompilers work
|
|
|
|
better than they would in emulation mode.
|
|
|
|
It also makes exploits much easier to write.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
none Vsyscalls don't work at all. This makes
|
|
|
|
them quite hard to use for exploits but

|
|

might break your system.

workqueue: implement lockup detector
Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as
missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item
indefinitely staying RUNNING. These stalls can be extremely difficult
to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect
workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque.
To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup
detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and,
if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold
duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.
BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s!
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
workqueue events: flags=0x0
pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=17/256

workqueue cgroup_pidlist_destroy: flags=0x0
pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1
pending: cgroup_pidlist_destroy_work_fn
...
The detection mechanism is controller through kernel parameter
workqueue.watchdog_thresh and can be updated at runtime through the
sysfs module parameter file.
v2: Decoupled from softlockup control knobs.

workqueue.watchdog_thresh=
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_WQ_WATCHDOG is configured, workqueue can
|
|
|
|
warn stall conditions and dump internal state to
|
|
|
|
help debugging. 0 disables workqueue stall
|
|
|
|
detection; otherwise, it's the stall threshold
|
|
|
|
duration in seconds. The default value is 30 and
|
|
|
|
it can be updated at runtime by writing to the
|
|
|
|
corresponding sysfs file.

workqueue.disable_numa
|
|
|
|
By default, all work items queued to unbound
|
|
|
|
workqueues are affine to the NUMA nodes they're
|
|
|
|
issued on, which results in better behavior in
|
|
|
|
general. If NUMA affinity needs to be disabled for
|
|
|
|
whatever reason, this option can be used. Note
|
|
|
|
that this also can be controlled per-workqueue for
|
|
|
|
workqueues visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/.

|
workqueue.power_efficient
|
|
|
|
Per-cpu workqueues are generally preferred because
|
|
|
|
they show better performance thanks to cache
|
|
|
|
locality; unfortunately, per-cpu workqueues tend to
|
|
|
|
be more power hungry than unbound workqueues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enabling this makes the per-cpu workqueues which
|
|
|
|
were observed to contribute significantly to power
|
|
|
|
consumption unbound, leading to measurably lower
|
|
|
|
power usage at the cost of small performance
|
|
|
|
overhead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default value of this parameter is determined by
|
|
|
|
the config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

workqueue.debug_force_rr_cpu
|
|
|
|
Workqueue used to implicitly guarantee that work
|
|
|
|
items queued without explicit CPU specified are put
|
|
|
|
on the local CPU. This guarantee is no longer true
|
|
|
|
and while local CPU is still preferred work items
|
|
|
|
may be put on foreign CPUs. This debug option
|
|
|
|
forces round-robin CPU selection to flush out
|
|
|
|
usages which depend on the now broken guarantee.
|
|
|
|
When enabled, memory and cache locality will be
|
|
|
|
impacted.
