In the spirit of commit 29cf7a30f8a0 ("x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS
info on ASUS M2V-MX SE"), this DMI quirk turns on "pci_use_crs" by
default on a board that needs it.
This fixes boot failures and oopses introduced in 3e3da00c01d0
("x86/pci: AMD one chain system to use pci read out res"). The quirk
is quite targetted (to a specific board and BIOS version) for two
reasons:
(1) to emphasize that this method of tackling the problem one quirk
at a time is a little insane
(2) to give BIOS vendors an opportunity to use simpler tables and
allow us to return to generic behavior (whatever that happens to
be) with a later BIOS update
In other words, I am not at all happy with having quirks like this.
But it is even worse for the kernel not to work out of the box on
these machines, so...

We may need to convert the endianness of the data we read from/write
to 'buf', so let's use {get,put}_unaligned_le32() to do that. Failure
to do so can result in accessing invalid memory, leading to a
segfault. Stephen Rothwell noticed this bug while cross-building an
x86_64 allmodconfig kernel on PowerPC.
We need to read from and write to 'buf' a byte at a time otherwise
it's possible we'll perform an unaligned access, which can lead to bus
errors when cross-building an x86 kernel on risc architectures.

Currently tools/build has access to all the kernel headers in
$(srctree). This is unnecessary and could potentially allow
tools/build to erroneously include kernel headers when it should only
be including userspace-exported headers.
Unfortunately, mkcpustr still needs access to some of the asm kernel
headers, so explicitly special case that hostprog.

If X32 is enabled in .config, but the binutils can't build it, issue a
warning and disable the feature rather than erroring out.
In order to support this, have CONFIG_X86_X32 be the option set in
Kconfig, and CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI be the option set by the Makefile when
it is enabled and binutils has been found to be functional.

Commit eab9e6137f23 ("x86-64: Fix CFI data for interrupt frames")
introduced a DW_CFA_def_cfa_expression in the SAVE_ARGS_IRQ
macro. To later define the CFA using a simple register+offset
rule both register and offset need to be supplied. Just using
CFI_DEF_CFA_REGISTER leaves the offset undefined. So use
CFI_DEF_CFA with reg+off explicitly at the end of
common_interrupt.

Two fixes to fix a memory corruption bug when WC pages never get

There is a better way of fixing this, but there is not enough time to do

task->thread.usersp is unusable immediately after a binary is exec()'d
until it undergoes a context switch cycle. The start_thread() function
called during execve() saves the stack pointer into pt_regs and into
old_rsp, but fails to record it into task->thread.usersp.
Because of this, KSTK_ESP(task) returns an incorrect value for a
64-bit program until the task is switched out and back in since
switch_to swaps %rsp values in and out into task->thread.usersp.

In one case, use an address register that was computed earlier (and
with a simpler instruction), thus reducing the risk of a stall.
In the second case, eliminate a branch by using a conditional move (as
is already done in call_softirq and xen_do_hypervisor_callback).

The saving and restoring of %rdx wasn't annotated at all, and the
jumping over sections where state gets partly restored wasn't handled
either.
Further, by folding the pushing of the previous frame in repeat_nmi
into that which so far was immediately preceding restart_nmi (after
moving the restore of %rdx ahead of that, since it doesn't get used
anymore when pushing prior frames), annotations of the replicated
frame creations can be made consistent too.
v2: Fully fold repeat_nmi into the normal code flow (adding a single
redundant instruction to the "normal" code path), thus retaining
the special protection of all instructions between repeat_nmi and
end_repeat_nmi.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ras/ras into x86/mce
Add symbolic defines for architectural MCACOD constants
|
|
static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()
So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
Typical usage scenarios:
#include <linux/static_key.h>
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
Or:
if (static_key_true(&key))
do likely code
else
do unlikely code
The static key is modified via:
static_key_slow_inc(&key);
...
static_key_slow_dec(&key);
The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.
I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

Traditionally the kernel has refused to setup EFI at all if there's been
a mismatch in 32/64-bit mode between EFI and the kernel.
On some platforms that boot natively through EFI (Chrome OS being one),
we still need to get at least some of the static data such as memory
configuration out of EFI. Runtime services aren't as critical, and
it's a significant amount of work to implement switching between the
operating modes to call between kernel and firmware for thise cases. So
I'm ignoring it for now.
v5:
* Fixed some printk strings based on feedback
* Renamed 32/64-bit specific types to not have _ prefix
* Fixed bug in printout of efi runtime disablement
v4:
* Some of the earlier cleanup was accidentally reverted by this patch, fixed.
* Reworded some messages to not have to line wrap printk strings
v3:
* Reorganized to a series of patches to make it easier to review, and
do some of the cleanups I had left out before.
v2:
* Added graceful error handling for 32-bit kernel that gets passed
EFI data above 4GB.
* Removed some warnings that were missed in first version.

It's not perfect, but way better than before. Mark efi_enabled as false in
case of error and at least stop dereferencing pointers that are known to
be invalid.
The only significant missing piece is the lack of undoing the
memblock_reserve of the memory that efi marks as in use. On the other
hand, it's not a large amount of memory, and leaving it unavailable for
system use should be the safer choice anyway.

Current kernel MCE code reads ERST at the first reading of /dev/mcelog

which results in a fake "no such device" message (as described in [1].)
This problem is not critical, but can confuse system admins.
This patch fixes it by filtering the return value from lower (ACPI) layer.

141168c36cde ("x86: Simplify code by removing a !SMP #ifdefs
from 'struct cpuinfo_x86'") removed a bunch of CONFIG_SMP ifdefs
around code touching struct cpuinfo_x86 members but also caused
the following build error with Randy's randconfigs:
mce_amd.c:(.cpuinit.text+0x4723): undefined reference to `cpu_llc_shared_map'
Restore the #ifdef in threshold_create_bank() which creates
symlinks on the non-BSP CPUs.
There's a better patch series being worked on by Kevin Winchester
which will solve this in a cleaner fashion, but that series is
too ambitious for v3.3 merging - so we first queue up this trivial
fix and then do the rest for v3.4.

For each logical CPU that is coming online, we spend 20msec for
checking the TSC synchronization. And as this is done
sequentially for each logical CPU boot, this time gets added up
depending on the number of logical CPU's supported by the
platform.
Minimize this by using the socket topology information.
If the target CPU coming online doesn't have any of its
core-siblings online, a timeout of 20msec will be used for the
TSC-warp measurement loop. Otherwise a smaller timeout of 2msec
will be used, as we have some information about this socket
already (and this information grows as we have more and more
logical-siblings in that socket).
Ideally we should be able to skip the TSC sync check on the
other core-siblings, if the first logical CPU in a socket passed
the sync test. But as the TSC is per-logical CPU and can
potentially be modified wrongly by the bios before the OS boot,
TSC sync test for smaller duration should be able to catch such
errors. Also this will catch the condition where all the cores
in the socket doesn't get reset at the same time.
For example, with this modification, time spent in TSC sync
checks on a 4 socket 10-core with HT system gets reduced from
1580msec to 212msec.
