2010-12-02x86: Improve TSC calibration using a delayed workqueueJohn Stultz
Boot to boot the TSC calibration may vary by quite a large amount. While normal variance of 50-100ppm can easily be seen, the quick calibration code only requires 500ppm accuracy, which is the limit of what NTP can correct for. This can cause problems for systems being used as NTP servers, as every time they reboot it can take hours for them to calculate the new drift error caused by the calibration. The classic trade-off here is calibration accuracy vs slow boot times, as during the calibration nothing else can run. This patch uses a delayed workqueue to calibrate the TSC over the period of a second. This allows very accurate calibration (in my tests only varying by 1khz or 0.4ppm boot to boot). Additionally this refined calibration step does not block the boot process, and only delays the TSC clocksoure registration by a few seconds in early boot. If the refined calibration strays 1% from the early boot calibration value, the system will fall back to already calculated early boot calibration. Credit to Andi Kleen who suggested using a timer quite awhile back, but I dismissed it thinking the timer calibration would be done after the clocksource was registered (which would break things). Forgive me for my short-sightedness. This patch has worked very well in my testing, but TSC hardware is quite varied so it would probably be good to get some extended testing, possibly pushing inclusion out to 2.6.39.

2010-11-26perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detectorPeter Zijlstra
The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot, some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall). The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall() and expects the hardware pmu to be present. Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit initcall right after that.

2010-11-26x86, perf, nmi: Disable perf if counters are not accessibleDon Zickus
In a kvm virt guests, the perf counters are not emulated. Instead they return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all NMIs thinking the counters overflowed. This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests. The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the initialization and hopefully reading back the same number. On kvm guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as a result.

2010-11-18x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routinesSoeren Sandmann Pedersen
The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass 0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing: (a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any (b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack (c) Trace some other task In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just be 0. If it _is_ defined, then - in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so the caller should pass NULL for regs, - in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to dump_trace(), - in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so the caller should pass NULL for regs. Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp. This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs) that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the two versions of dump_stack().

2010-11-18x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modulesmatthieu castet
This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each individual section: 1. Code: RO+X 2. RO data: RO+NX 3. RW data: RW+NX In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access permissions are set right before successful exit from load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right before calling module_free(). By default, the original section layout and access flags are preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y, the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that each page contains only one type of content and will enforce RO/NX for each group of pages. -v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch. -v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also been corrected. -v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional. Section page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y. -v4: Removed most macros and improved coding style. -v5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation -v6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only -v7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added calls to set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro() in ftrace -v8: updated for compatibility with linux 2.6.33-rc5 -v9: coding style fixes -v10: more coding style fixes -v11: minor adjustments for -tip -v12: minor adjustments for v2.6.35-rc2-tip -v13: minor adjustments for v2.6.37-rc1-tip Signed-off-by: Siarhei Liakh <sliakh.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Xuxian Jiang <jiang@cs.ncsu.edu> Acked-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Signed-off-by: H.

2010-11-18x86: Add NX protection for kernel dataMatthieu Castet
This patch expands functionality of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to set main (static) kernel data area as NX. The following steps are taken to achieve this: 1.

2010-11-18x86: UV: Address interrupt/IO port operation conflictDimitri Sivanich
This patch for SGI UV systems addresses a problem whereby interrupt transactions being looped back from a local IOH, through the hub to a local CPU can (erroneously) conflict with IO port operations and other transactions. To workaound this we set a high bit in the APIC IDs used for interrupts. This bit appears to be ignored by the sockets, but it avoids the conflict in the hub.

2010-11-18x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove all stub function calls from old nmi_watchdogDon Zickus
Now that the bulk of the old nmi_watchdog is gone, remove all the stub variables and hooks associated with it. This touches lots of files mainly because of how the io_apic nmi_watchdog was implemented. Now that the io_apic nmi_watchdog is forever gone, remove all its fingers. Most of this code was not being exercised by virtue of nmi_watchdog != NMI_IO_APIC, so there shouldn't be anything to risky here.

2010-11-18x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove the old nmi_watchdogDon Zickus
Now that we have a new nmi_watchdog that is more generic and sits on top of the perf subsystem, we really do not need the old nmi_watchdog any more. In addition, the old nmi_watchdog doesn't really work if you are using the default clocksource, hpet. The old nmi_watchdog code relied on local apic interrupts to determine if the cpu is still alive. With hpet as the clocksource, these interrupts don't increment any more and the old nmi_watchdog triggers false postives. This piece removes the old nmi_watchdog code and stubs out any variables and functions calls. The stubs are the same ones used by the new nmi_watchdog code, so it should be well tested.

2010-11-17kgdb,x86: fix regression in detach handlingJason Wessel
The fix from ba773f7c510c0b252145933926c636c439889207 (x86,kgdb: Fix hw breakpoint regression) was not entirely complete. The kgdb_remove_all_hw_break() function also needs to call the hw_break_release_slot() or else a breakpoint can get activated again after the debugger has detached. The kgdb test suite exposes the behavior in the form of either a hang or repetitive failure. The kernel config that exposes the problem contains all of the following: CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING="V1F100" Reported-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Tested-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

2010-11-12x86: Ignore trap bits on single step exceptionsFrederic Weisbecker
When a single step exception fires, the trap bits, used to signal hardware breakpoints, are in a random state. These trap bits might be set if another exception will follow, like a breakpoint in the next instruction, or a watchpoint in the previous one. Or there can be any junk there. So if we handle these trap bits during the single step exception, we are going to handle an exception twice, or we are going to handle junk. Just ignore them in this case.

2010-11-10x86, cpu: Call verify_cpu during 32bit CPU startupKees Cook
The XD_DISABLE-clearing side-effect needs to happen for both 32bit and 64bit, but the 32bit init routines were not calling verify_cpu() yet. This adds that call to gain the side-effect. The longmode/SSE tests being performed in verify_cpu() need to happen very early for 64bit but not for 32bit. Instead of including it in two places for 32bit, we can just include it once in arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S.
