xen: fix xen_qlock_wait()

2018-11-09T15:37:27+00:00

Commit a856531951dc80 ("xen: make xen_qlock_wait() nestable") introduced a regression for Xen guests running fully virtualized (HVM or PVH mode). The Xen hypervisor wouldn't return from the poll hypercall with interrupts disabled in case of an interrupt (for PV guests it does). So instead of disabling interrupts in xen_qlock_wait() use a nesting counter to avoid calling xen_clear_irq_pending() in case xen_qlock_wait() is nested.

xen: make xen_qlock_wait() nestable

2018-10-24T08:18:04+00:00

xen_qlock_wait() isn't safe for nested calls due to interrupts. A call of xen_qlock_kick() might be ignored in case a deeper nesting level was active right before the call of xen_poll_irq(): CPU 1: CPU 2: spin_lock(lock1) spin_lock(lock1) -> xen_qlock_wait() -> xen_clear_irq_pending() Interrupt happens spin_unlock(lock1) -> xen_qlock_kick(CPU 2) spin_lock_irqsave(lock2) spin_lock_irqsave(lock2) -> xen_qlock_wait() -> xen_clear_irq_pending() clears kick for lock1 -> xen_poll_irq() spin_unlock_irq_restore(lock2) -> xen_qlock_kick(CPU 2) wakes up spin_unlock_irq_restore(lock2) IRET resumes in xen_qlock_wait() -> xen_poll_irq() never wakes up The solution is to disable interrupts in xen_qlock_wait() and not to poll for the irq in case xen_qlock_wait() is called in nmi context.

xen: fix race in xen_qlock_wait()

2018-10-24T08:17:38+00:00

In the following situation a vcpu waiting for a lock might not be woken up from xen_poll_irq(): CPU 1: CPU 2: CPU 3: takes a spinlock tries to get lock -> xen_qlock_wait() frees the lock -> xen_qlock_kick(cpu2) -> xen_clear_irq_pending() takes lock again tries to get lock -> *lock = _Q_SLOW_VAL -> *lock == _Q_SLOW_VAL ? -> xen_poll_irq() frees the lock -> xen_qlock_kick(cpu3) And cpu 2 will sleep forever. This can be avoided easily by modifying xen_qlock_wait() to call xen_poll_irq() only if the related irq was not pending and to call xen_clear_irq_pending() only if it was pending.

x86/paravirt: Use a single ops structure

2018-09-03T14:50:35+00:00

Instead of using six globally visible paravirt ops structures combine them in a single structure, keeping the original structures as sub-structures. This avoids the need to assemble struct paravirt_patch_template at runtime on the stack each time apply_paravirt() is being called (i.e. when loading a module).

xen/spinlock: Don't use pvqspinlock if only 1 vCPU

2018-07-27T03:05:14+00:00

On a VM with only 1 vCPU, the locking fast paths will always be successful. In this case, there is no need to use the the PV qspinlock code which has higher overhead on the unlock side than the native qspinlock code. The xen_pvspin veriable is also turned off in this 1 vCPU case to eliminate unneeded pvqspinlock initialization in xen_init_lock_cpu() which is run after xen_init_spinlocks().

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

x86/paravirt: Set up the virt_spin_lock_key after static keys get initialized

Commit: 9043442b43b1 ("locking/paravirt: Use new static key for controlling call of virt_spin_lock()") sets the static virt_spin_lock_key to a value before jump_label_init() has been called, which will result in a WARN(). Reorder the initialization sequence: - Move the native_pv_lock_init() into native_smp_prepare_cpus() - set the value in xen_init_lock_cpu() to avoid calling into the not yet initialized static keys subsystem.
