commit 14315592009c17035cac81f4954d5a1f4d71e489 upstream.
Distros generally (I looked at Debian, RHEL5 and SLES11) seem to
enable CONFIG_HIGHPTE for any x86 configuration which has highmem
enabled. This means that the overhead applies even to machines which
have a fairly modest amount of high memory and which therefore do not
really benefit from allocating PTEs in high memory but still pay the
price of the additional mapping operations.
Running kernbench on a 4G box I found that with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but
no actual highptes being allocated there was a reduction in system
time used from 59.737s to 55.9s.
With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y and highmem PTEs being allocated:
Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation):
Elapsed Time 175.396 (0.238914)
User Time 515.983 (5.85019)
System Time 59.737 (1.26727)
Percent CPU 263.8 (71.6796)
Context Switches 39989.7 (4672.64)
Sleeps 42617.7 (246.307)
With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but with no highmem PTEs being allocated:
Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation):
Elapsed Time 174.278 (0.831968)
User Time 515.659 (6.07012)
System Time 55.9 (1.07799)
Percent CPU 263.8 (71.266)
Context Switches 39929.6 (4485.13)
Sleeps 42583.7 (373.039)
This patch allows the user to control the allocation of PTEs in
highmem from the command line ("userpte=nohigh") but retains the
status-quo as the default.
It is possible that some simple heuristic could be developed which
allows auto-tuning of this option however I don't have a sufficiently
large machine available to me to perform any particularly meaningful
experiments. We could probably handwave up an argument for a threshold
at 16G of total RAM.
Assuming 768M of lowmem we have 196608 potential lowmem PTE
pages. Each page can map 2M of RAM in a PAE-enabled configuration,
meaning a maximum of 384G of RAM could potentially be mapped using
lowmem PTEs.
Even allowing generous factor of 10 to account for other required
lowmem allocations, generous slop to account for page sharing (which
reduces the total amount of RAM mappable by a given number of PT
pages) and other innacuracies in the estimations it would seem that
even a 32G machine would not have a particularly pressing need for
highmem PTEs. I think 32G could be considered to be at the upper bound
of what might be sensible on a 32 bit machine (although I think in
practice 64G is still supported).
It's seems questionable if HIGHPTE is even a win for any amount of RAM
you would sensibly run a 32 bit kernel on rather than going 64 bit.

commit ced5b697a76d325e7a7ac7d382dbbb632c765093 upstream.
Keep chip_data in create_irq_nr and destroy_irq.
When two drivers are setting up MSI-X at the same time via
pci_enable_msix() there is a race. See this dmesg excerpt:
[ 85.170610] ixgbe 0000:02:00.1: irq 97 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 85.170611] alloc irq_desc for 99 on node -1

[ 85.170625] ixgbe 0000:02:00.1: irq 99 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 85.170626] alloc irq_desc for 101 on node -1
[ 85.170628] igb 0000:08:00.1: irq 100 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 85.170630] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1

[ 85.170636] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1
[ 85.170639] alloc irq_2_iommu on node -1
[ 85.170646] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
at 0000000000000088
As you can see igb and ixgbe are both alternating on create_irq_nr()
via pci_enable_msix() in their probe function.
ixgbe: While looping through irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr() ixgbe
choses irq_desc_ptrs[102] and exits the loop, drops vector_lock and
calls dynamic_irq_init. Then it sets irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data =
NULL via dynamic_irq_init().
igb: Grabs the vector_lock now and starts looping over irq_desc_ptrs[]
via create_irq_nr(). It gets to irq_desc_ptrs[102] and does this:
cfg_new = irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data;
if (cfg_new->vector != 0)
continue;
This hits the NULL deref.
Another possible race exists via pci_disable_msix() in a driver or in
the number of error paths that call free_msi_irqs():
destroy_irq()
dynamic_irq_cleanup() which sets desc->chip_data = NULL
...race window...
desc->chip_data = cfg;
Remove the save and restore code for cfg in create_irq_nr() and
destroy_irq() and take the desc->lock when checking the irq_cfg.

commit 817a824b75b1475f1b067c8cee318c7b4d66fcde upstream.
There's a path in the pagefault code where the kernel deliberately
breaks its own locking rules by kmapping a high pte page without
holding the pagetable lock (in at least page_check_address). This
breaks Xen's ability to track the pinned/unpinned state of the
page. There does not appear to be a viable workaround for this
behaviour so simply disable HIGHPTE for all Xen guests.

commit 89baaaa98a10cad5cc8516c7208b02d9fc711890 upstream.
Standard AMD systems have the same number of nodes as there are
northbridge devices. However, there may kernel configurations
(especially for 32 bit) or system setups exist, where the node number
is different or it can not be detected properly. Thus the check is not
reliable and may fail though IBS setup was fine. For this reason it is
better to remove the check.

commit 68dc819ce829f7e7977a56524e710473bdb55115 upstream.
Multiple virtual counters share one physical counter. The reservation
of virtual counters fails due to duplicate allocation of the same

[ Upstream commit 1f474646fdc36b457606bbcd6a3592e6cbd31ac4 ]
Thanks to testcase and report from Brad Spengler:
--------------------
#include <stdio.h>
typedef int (* _wee)(void);
int main(void)
{
char buf[8] = { '\x81', '\xc7', '\xe0', '\x08', '\x81', '\xe8',

_wee wee;
printf("%p\n", &buf);
wee = (_wee)&buf;
wee();

}
--------------------
TSB I-tlb load code tries to use andcc to check the _PAGE_EXEC_4U bit,
but that's bit 12 so it gets sign extended all the way up to bit 63
and the test nearly always passes as a result.

Accidently changed the struct stat uid/gid members

Those are of type 'int' but the structure is meant

correct this.

Easy fix for a regression introduced in 2.6.31.
On managed CPUs the cpufreq.c core will call driver->exit(cpu) on the
managed cpus and powernow_k8 will free the core's data.
Later driver->get(cpu) function might get called trying to read out the
current freq of a managed cpu and the NULL pointer check does not work on
the freed object -> better set it to NULL.
->get() is unsigned and must return 0 as invalid frequency.

(cherry picked from afbcf7ab8d1bc8c2d04792f6d9e786e0adeb328d)
When we migrate a kvm guest that uses pvclock between two hosts, we may
suffer a large skew. This is because there can be significant differences
between the monotonic clock of the hosts involved. When a new host with
a much larger monotonic time starts running the guest, the view of time
will be significantly impacted.
Situation is much worse when we do the opposite, and migrate to a host with
a smaller monotonic clock.
This proposed ioctl will allow userspace to inform us what is the monotonic
clock value in the source host, so we can keep the time skew short, and
more importantly, never goes backwards. Userspace may also need to trigger
the current data, since from the first migration onwards, it won't be
reflected by a simple call to clock_gettime() anymore.

int. Fix it by changing i to unsigned long.

commit 7c099ce1575126395f186ecf58b51a60d5c3be7d upstream.
Commit 6aa542a694dc9ea4344a8a590d2628c33d1b9431 added a quirk for the
Intel DG45ID board due to low memory corruption. The Intel DG45FC
shares the same BIOS (and the same bug) as noted in:

commit 05d43ed8a89c159ff641d472f970e3f1baa66318 upstream.
Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality
setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries.
And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go
away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing
for a 32-bit compat process.
Everything becomes much more straightforward this way.

commit 221af7f87b97431e3ee21ce4b0e77d5411cf1549 upstream.
'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.
Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.
As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.
This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

commit 04e4f2b18c8de1389d1e00fef0f42a8099910daf upstream.
The current code will load the stack size and protection markings, but
then only use the markings in the MMU code path. The NOMMU code path
always passes PROT_EXEC to the mmap() call. While this doesn't matter
to most people whilst the code is running, it will cause a pointless
icache flush when starting every FDPIC application. Typically this
icache flush will be of a region on the order of 128KB in size, or may
be the entire icache, depending on the facilities available on the CPU.
In the case where the arch default behaviour seems to be desired
(EXSTACK_DEFAULT), we probe VM_STACK_FLAGS for VM_EXEC to determine
whether we should be setting PROT_EXEC or not.
For arches that support an MPU (Memory Protection Unit - an MMU without
the virtual mapping capability), setting PROT_EXEC or not will make an
important difference.
It should be noted that this change also affects the executability of
the brk region, since ELF-FDPIC has that share with the stack. However,
this is probably irrelevant as NOMMU programs aren't likely to use the
brk region, preferring instead allocation via mmap().

commit b160091802d4a76dd063facb09fcf10bf5d5d747 upstream.
CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG, which provides some parsed versions of the x86
CPU configuration via debugfs, has caused boot failures on real
hardware. The value of this feature has been marginal at best, as all
this information is already available to userspace via generic
interfaces.
Causes crashes that have not been fixed + minimal utility -> remove.
See the referenced LKML thread for more information.

commit 3a5fc0e40cb467e692737bc798bc99773c81e1e2 upstream.
nodes_possible_map does not currently include nodes that have SRAT
entries that are all ACPI_SRAT_MEM_HOT_PLUGGABLE since the bit is
cleared in nodes_parsed if it does not have an online address range.
Unequivocally setting the bit in nodes_parsed is insufficient since
existing code, such as acpi_get_nodes(), assumes all nodes in the map
have online address ranges. In fact, all code using nodes_parsed
assumes such nodes represent an address range of online memory.
nodes_possible_map is created by unioning nodes_parsed and
cpu_nodes_parsed; the former represents nodes with online memory and
the latter represents memoryless nodes. We now set the bit for
hotpluggable nodes in cpu_nodes_parsed so that it also gets set in
nodes_possible_map.
[ hpa: Haicheng Li points out that this makes the naming of the
variable cpu_nodes_parsed somewhat counterintuitive. However, leave
it as is in the interest of keeping the pure bug fix patch small. ]

If irq flags tracing is enabled the TRACE_IRQS_ON macros expands to
a function call which clobbers registers %r0-%r5. The macro is used
in the code path for single stepped system calls. The argument
registers %r2-%r6 need to be restored from the stack before the system
call function is called.

commit 6c56ccecf05fafe100ab4ea94f6fccbf5ff00db7 upstream.
Commit 83ce4009 did the following change
If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.
But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across
sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync
test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later.
So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems.
Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in
mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails.
This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems
where TSC is reliable.
