2013-05-11T14:18:22+00:00

commit 7cc23cd6c0c7d7f4bee057607e7ce01568925717 upstream.

We should always have proper privileges when requesting kernel
data.

perf/x86/intel/lbr: Fix LBR filter

2013-05-11T14:18:21+00:00

commit 6e15eb3ba6c0249c9e8c783517d131b47db995ca upstream.

The LBR 'from' adddress is under full userspace control; ensure
we validate it before reading from it.

Note: is_module_text_address() can potentially be quite
expensive; for those running into that with high overhead
in modules optimize it using an RCU backed rb-tree.

perf/x86: Blacklist all MEM_*_RETIRED events for Ivy Bridge

2013-05-11T14:18:21+00:00

commit 741a698f420c34c458294a6accecfbad702a7c52 upstream.

Errata BV98 states that all MEM_*_RETIRED events corrupt the
counter value of the SMT sibling's counters. Blacklist these
events

perf/x86/intel: Fix unintended variable name reuse

2013-05-11T14:18:21+00:00

commit 1b0dac2ac6debdbf1541e15f2cede03613cf4465 upstream.

The variable name events_group is already in used and led to a
compilation error when using clang to build the Linux Kernel .
The fix is just to rename the var. No functional change. Please
apply.

Fix suggested in discussion by PaX Team

perf/x86/intel: Add support for IvyBridge model 58 Uncore

2013-05-11T14:18:20+00:00

commit 9a6bc14350b130427725f33e371e86212fa56c85 upstream.

According to Intel Vol3b 18.9, the IvyBridge model 58 uncore is
the same as that of SandyBridge.

I've done some simple tests and with this patch things seem to
work on my mac-mini.

x86: Eliminate irq_mis_count counted in arch_irq_stat

2013-05-08T03:33:15+00:00

commit f7b0e1055574ce06ab53391263b4e205bf38daf3 upstream.

With the current implementation, kstat_cpu(cpu).irqs_sum is also
increased in case of irq_mis_count increment.

So there is no need to count irq_mis_count in arch_irq_stat,
otherwise irq_mis_count will be counted twice in the sum of
/proc/stat.

x86-64, init: Do not set NX bits on non-NX capable hardware

2013-05-08T03:33:14+00:00

commit 78d77df71510a96e042de7ba6dbd7998103642cb upstream.

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.

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support
  for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle.  This
  is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the
  various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual
  in many places.)

  After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
  but of course it is now very late in the cycle.  However, because it
  changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
  would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken
  interfaces."

I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release
the final 3.9 tomorrow.  But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "Three groups of fixes:

   1. Make sure we don't execute the early microcode patching if family
      < 6, since it would touch MSRs which don't exist on those
      families, causing crashes.

   2. The Xen partial emulation of HyperV can be dealt with more
      gracefully than just disabling the driver.

   3. More EFI variable space magic.  In particular, variables hidden
      from runtime code need to be taken into account too."
