perf/x86: Fix copy_from_user_nmi() return if range is not ok

2015-07-06T12:09:27+00:00

Commit 0a196848ca36 ("perf: Fix arch_perf_out_copy_user default"),
changes copy_from_user_nmi() to return the number of
remaining bytes so that it behave like copy_from_user().

Unfortunately, when the range is outside of the process
memory, the return value  is still the number of byte
copied, eg. 0, instead of the remaining bytes.

As all users of copy_from_user_nmi() were modified as
part of commit 0a196848ca36, the function should be
fixed to return the total number of bytes if range is
not correct.

Merge branch 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2015-06-23T00:59:09+00:00

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
  in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
  so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
  collected into the 'x86/core' topic.

  The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
  bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
  but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
  dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
  end.

  The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
  have fewer dependencies).

  The main changes in this cycle were:

   * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
     Gleixner)

     - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
       interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
       domains:

          [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                 |
          [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                 |   (optional)          |
          [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                         |
          [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                         |
          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"

Merge branch 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2015-06-23T00:16:11+00:00

Pull x86 FPU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree contains two main changes:

   - The big FPU code rewrite: wide reaching cleanups and reorganization
     that pulls all the FPU code together into a clean base in
     arch/x86/fpu/.

     The resulting code is leaner and faster, and much easier to
     understand.  This enables future work to further simplify the FPU
     code (such as removing lazy FPU restores).

     By its nature these changes have a substantial regression risk: FPU
     code related bugs are long lived, because races are often subtle
     and bugs mask as user-space failures that are difficult to track
     back to kernel side backs.  I'm aware of no unfixed (or even
     suspected) FPU related regression so far.

   - MPX support rework/fixes.  As this is still not a released CPU
     feature, there were some buglets in the code - should be much more
     robust now (Dave Hansen)"

* 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (250 commits)

preempt: Use preempt_schedule_context() as the official tracing preemption point

2015-06-07T13:57:42+00:00

preempt_schedule_context() is a tracing safe preemption point but it's
only used when CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING=y. Other configs have tracing
recursion issues since commit:

  b30f0e3ffedf ("sched/preempt: Optimize preemption operations on __schedule() callers")

introduced function based preemp_count_*() ops.

Lets make it available on all configs and give it a more appropriate
name for its new position.

x86/asm/entry: Move the 'thunk' functions to arch/x86/entry/

2015-06-04T05:37:33+00:00

These are all calling x86 entry code functions, so move them close
to other entry code.

Change lib-y to obj-y: there's no real difference between the two
as we don't really drop any of them during the linking stage, and
obj-y is the more common approach for core kernel object code.

x86/debug: Remove perpetually broken, unmaintainable dwarf annotations

2015-06-02T05:57:48+00:00

So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.

These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.

In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.

So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:

   27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-)

Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:

 - it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
   'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.

 - find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
   automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
   instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
   be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
   looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
   the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
   We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
   that makes sense.

 - it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
   CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
   the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
   done on the dwarf side.

x86/fpu: Rename i387.h to fpu/api.h

2015-05-19T13:47:30+00:00

We already have fpu/types.h, move i387.h to fpu/api.h.

The file name has become a misnomer anyway: it offers generic FPU APIs,
but is not limited to i387 functionality.

mm/uaccess, mm/fault: Clarify that uaccess may only sleep if pagefaults are enabled

2015-05-19T06:39:14+00:00

In general, non-atomic variants of user access functions must not sleep
if pagefaults are disabled.

Let's update all relevant comments in uaccess code. This also reflects
the might_sleep() checks in might_fault().
