2013-11-08x86, trace: Register exception handler to trace IDTSeiji Aguchi
This patch registers exception handlers for tracing to a trace IDT. To implemented it in set_intr_gate(), this patch does followings. - Register the exception handlers to the trace IDT by prepending "trace_" to the handler's names. - Also, newly introduce trace_page_fault() to add tracepoints in a subsequent patch.

2013-05-20x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume timeLinus Torvalds
In commit 78d77df71510 ("x86-64, init: Do not set NX bits on non-NX capable hardware") we added the early_pmd_flags that gets the NX bit set when a CPU supports NX. However, the new variable was marked __initdata, because the main _use_ of this is in an __init routine. However, the bit setting happens from secondary_startup_64(), which is called not only at bootup, but on every secondary CPU start. Including resuming from STR and at CPU hotplug time. So the value cannot be __initdata.

2013-05-02x86-64, init: Do not set NX bits on non-NX capable hardwareH. Peter Anvin
During early init, we would incorrectly set the NX bit even if the NX feature was not supported. Instead, only set this bit if NX is actually available and enabled. We already do very early detection of the NX bit to enable it in EFER, this simply extends this detection to the early page table mask.

2013-02-22x86-64: don't set the early IDT to point directly to 'early_idt_handler'Linus Torvalds
The code requires the use of the proper per-exception-vector stub functions (set up as the early_idt_handlers[] array - note the 's') that make sure to set up the error vector number. This is true regardless of whether CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is set or not. Why? The stack offset for the comparison of __KERNEL_CS won't be right otherwise, nor will the new check (from commit 8170e6bed465: "x86, 64bit: Use a #PF handler to materialize early mappings on demand") for the page fault exception vector.

2013-01-29x86, 64bit: #PF handler set page to cover only 2M per #PFYinghai Lu
We only map a single 2 MiB page per #PF, even though we should be able to do this a full gigabyte at a time with no additional memory cost. This is a workaround for a broken AMD reference BIOS (and its derivatives in shipping system) which maps a large chunk of memory as WB in the MTRR system but will #MC if the processor wanders off and tries to prefetch that memory, which can happen any time the memory is mapped in the TLB.

2013-01-29x86, 64bit: Use a #PF handler to materialize early mappings on demandH. Peter Anvin
Linear mode (CR0.PG = 0) is mutually exclusive with 64-bit mode; all 64-bit code has to use page tables. This makes it awkward before we have first set up properly all-covering page tables to access objects that are outside the static kernel range. So far we have dealt with that simply by mapping a fixed amount of low memory, but that fails in at least two upcoming use cases: 1. We will support load and run kernel, struct boot_params, ramdisk, command line, etc. above the 4 GiB mark. 2. need to access ramdisk early to get microcode to update that as early possible. We could use early_iomap to access them too, but it will make code to messy and hard to be unified with 32 bit. Hence, set up a #PF table and use a fixed number of buffers to set up page tables on demand. If the buffers fill up then we simply flush them and start over. These buffers are all in __initdata, so it does not increase RAM usage at runtime. Thus, with the help of the #PF handler, we can set the final kernel mapping from blank, and switch to init_level4_pgt later. During the switchover in head_64.S, before #PF handler is available, we use three pages to handle kernel crossing 1G, 512G boundaries with sharing page by playing games with page aliasing: the same page is mapped twice in the higher-level tables with appropriate wraparound. The kernel region itself will be properly mapped; other mappings may be spurious. early_make_pgtable is using kernel high mapping address to access pages to set page table. -v4: Add phys_base offset to make kexec happy, and add init_mapping_kernel() - Yinghai -v5: fix compiling with xen, and add back ident level3 and level2 for xen also move back init_level4_pgt from BSS to DATA again. because we have to clear it anyway. - Yinghai -v6: switch to init_level4_pgt in init_mem_mapping. - Yinghai -v7: remove not needed clear_page for init_level4_page it is with fill 512,8,0 already in head_64.S - Yinghai -v8: we need to keep that handler alive until init_mem_mapping and don't let early_trap_init to trash that early #PF handler. So split early_trap_pf_init out and move it down. - Yinghai -v9: switchover only cover kernel space instead of 1G so could avoid touch possible mem holes. - Yinghai -v11: change far jmp back to far return to initial_code, that is needed to fix failure that is reported by Konrad on AMD systems. - Yinghai Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359058816-7615-12-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org Signed-off-by: H.

2013-01-29x86, 64bit: Copy struct boot_params earlyYinghai Lu
We want to support struct boot_params (formerly known as the zero-page, or real-mode data) above the 4 GiB mark. We will have #PF handler to set page table for not accessible ram early, but want to limit it before x86_64_start_reservations to limit the code change to native path only. Also we will need the ramdisk info in struct boot_params to access the microcode blob in ramdisk in x86_64_start_kernel, so copy struct boot_params early makes it accessing ramdisk info simple.

2011-03-19x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concludedYinghai Lu
Now cleanup_highmap actually is in two steps: one is early in head64.c and only clears above _end; a second one is in init_memory_mapping() and tries to clean from _brk_end to _end. It should check if those boundaries are PMD_SIZE aligned but currently does not. Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory hotplug, so we really should not handle initial kernel mappings there.

Last page could be shared with other users. When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page could be freed and we could corrupt other data. code segment in free_init_pages(): | for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) { | ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr)); | init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr)); | memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)), | POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE); | free_page(addr); | totalram_pages++; | } last half page could be used as one whole free page.

2009-03-14x86: add brk allocation for very, very early allocationsJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: new interface Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations. This is better than using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never get used. The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or something into it. The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area (__brk_base to __brk_limit). The kernel text, data and bss is reserved up to __bss_stop. Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory. Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general kernel memory pool. Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large with a big kernel image and no PSE support). So long as the system has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk, there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

2009-01-16x86: make pda a percpu variableTejun Heo
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] As pda is now allocated in percpu area, it can easily be made a proper percpu variable. Make it so by defining per cpu symbol from linker script and declaring it in C code for SMP and simply defining it for UP. This change cleans up code and brings SMP and UP closer a bit.

2009-01-16x86: merge 64 and 32 SMP percpu handlingTejun Heo
Now that pda is allocated as part of percpu, percpu doesn't need to be accessed through pda. Unify x86_64 SMP percpu access with x86_32 SMP one. Other than the segment register, operand size and the base of percpu symbols, they behave identical now. This patch replaces now unnecessary pda->data_offset with a dummy field which is necessary to keep stack_canary at its place. This patch also moves per_cpu_offset initialization out of init_gdt() into setup_per_cpu_areas(). Note that this change also necessitates explicit per_cpu_offset initializations in voyager_smp.c. With this change, x86_OP_percpu()'s are as efficient on x86_64 as on x86_32 and also x86_64 can use assembly PER_CPU macros.

2009-01-16x86: fold pda into percpu area on SMPTejun Heo
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately. %gs points to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset. This patch folds pda into percpu area. Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40. To achieve this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu area. After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to point to the actual pda. This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0 already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas(). This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call sites. A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into per cpu area" patch.

2009-01-16x86: load pointer to pda into %gs while brining up a CPUTejun Heo
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] CPU startup code in head_64.S loaded address of a zero page into %gs for temporary use till pda is loaded but address to the actual pda is available at the point. Load the real address directly instead. This will help unifying percpu and pda handling later on. This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into per cpu area" patch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-01-16x86: make percpu symbols zerobased on SMPTejun Heo
[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S. A new PHDR is added as existing ones cannot contain sections near address zero. PERCPU_VADDR() also adds a new symbol __per_cpu_load which always points to the vaddr of the loaded percpu data.init region. The following adjustments have been made to accomodate the address change. * code to locate percpu gdt_page in head_64.S is updated to add the load address to the gdt_page offset. * __per_cpu_load is used in places where access to the init data area is necessary. * pda->data_offset is initialized soon after C code is entered as zero value doesn't work anymore.

2009-01-02x86: fix incorrect __read_mostly on _boot_cpu_pdaRavikiran G Thirumalai
The pda rework (commit 3461b0af025251bbc6b3d56c821c6ac2de6f7209) to remove static boot cpu pdas introduced a performance bug. _boot_cpu_pda is the actual pda used by the boot cpu and is definitely not "__read_mostly" and ended up polluting the read mostly section with writes.

2008-07-08x86, 64-bit: split x86_64_start_kernelJeremy Fitzhardinge
Split x86_64_start_kernel() into two pieces: The first essentially cleans up after head_64.S. It clears the bss, zaps low identity mappings, sets up some early exception handlers. The second part preserves the boot data, reserves the kernel's text/data/bss, pagetables and ramdisk, and then starts the kernel proper. This split is so that Xen can call the second part to do the set up it needs done. It doesn't need any of the first part setups, because it doesn't boot via head_64.S, and its redundant or actively damaging.

* Remove the boot_cpu_pda array and pointer table from the data section. Allocate the pointer table and array during init. do_boot_cpu() will reallocate the pda in node local memory and if the cpu is being brought up before the bootmem array is released (after_bootmem = 0), then it will free the initial pda.
