ARM: perf: hook up perf_sample_event_took around pmu irq handling

2014-06-11T19:03:27+00:00

commit 5f5092e72cc25a6a5785308270e0085b2b2772cc upstream.

Since we indirect all of our PMU IRQ handling through a dispatcher, it's
trivial to hook up perf_sample_event_took to prevent applications such
as oprofile from generating interrupt storms due to an unrealisticly
low sample period.

perf: Drop sample rate when sampling is too slow

2014-06-11T19:03:26+00:00

commit 14c63f17b1fde5a575a28e96547a22b451c71fb5 upstream.

This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking,
and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second.  If
the sample length times the expected max number of samples
exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate.

This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the
CPU.

This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where
perf doesn't work very well.  *BUT* the alternative is that my
system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs.

I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's
busted and undebuggable any day.

BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here.
Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing
factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on.
But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine
hanging all the time.

ARM: 8051/1: put_user: fix possible data corruption in put_user

2014-06-11T19:03:23+00:00

commit 537094b64b229bf3ad146042f83e74cf6abe59df upstream.

According to arm procedure call standart r2 register is call-cloberred.
So after the result of x expression was put into r2 any following
function call in p may overwrite r2. To fix this, the result of p
expression must be saved to the temporary variable before the
assigment x expression to __r2.

ARM: OMAP4: Fix the boot regression with CPU_IDLE enabled

2014-06-11T19:03:23+00:00

commit 4b353a706a86598ba47307c47301c3c428b79e09 upstream.

On OMAP4 panda board, there have been several bug reports about boot
hang and lock-ups with CPU_IDLE enabled. The root cause of the issue
is missing interrupts while in idle state. Commit cb7094e8 {cpuidle / omap4 :
use CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag} moved the broadcast notifiers to common
code for right reasons but on OMAP4 which suffers from a nasty ROM code
bug with GIC, commit ff999b8a {ARM: OMAP4460: Workaround for ROM bug ..},
we loose interrupts which leads to issues like lock-up, hangs etc.

Patch reverts commit cb7094 {cpuidle / omap4 : use CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP
flag} and 54769d6 {cpuidle: OMAP4: remove timer broadcast initialization} to
avoid the issue. With this change, OMAP4 panda boards, the mentioned
issues are getting fixed. We no longer loose interrupts which was the cause
of the regression.

powerpc: Fix 64 bit builds with binutils 2.24

2014-06-07T20:25:40+00:00

commit 7998eb3dc700aaf499f93f50b3d77da834ef9e1d upstream.

With binutils 2.24, various 64 bit builds fail with relocation errors
such as

arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e':
	(.text+0x165ee): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI
	against symbol `interrupt_base_book3e' defined in .text section
	in arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e':
	(.text+0x16602): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI
	against symbol `interrupt_end_book3e' defined in .text section
	in arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o

The assembler maintainer says:

 I changed the ABI, something that had to be done but unfortunately
 happens to break the booke kernel code.  When building up a 64-bit
 value with lis, ori, shl, oris, ori or similar sequences, you now
 should use @high and @higha in place of @h and @ha.  @h and @ha
 (and their associated relocs R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI and R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA)
 now report overflow if the value is out of 32-bit signed range.
 ie. @h and @ha assume you're building a 32-bit value. This is needed
 to report out-of-range -mcmodel=medium toc pointer offsets in @toc@h
 and @toc@ha expressions, and for consistency I did the same for all
 other @h and @ha relocs.

Replacing @h with @high in one strategic location fixes the relocation
errors. This has to be done conditionally since the assembler either
supports @h or @high but not both.

An additional testcase found an issue with the last
series of patches applied: the fallback solution may
not save the iv value after operation. This very small
fix just makes sure the iv is copied back to the

powerpc/tm: Fix crash when forking inside a transaction

2014-06-07T20:25:38+00:00

commit 621b5060e823301d0cba4cb52a7ee3491922d291 upstream.

When we fork/clone we currently don't copy any of the TM state to the new
thread.  This results in a TM bad thing (program check) when the new process is
switched in as the kernel does a tmrechkpt with TEXASR FS not set.  Also, since
R1 is from userspace, we trigger the bad kernel stack pointer detection.  So we
end up with something like this:

   Bad kernel stack pointer 0 at c0000000000404fc
   cpu 0x2: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c00000003ffefd40]
       pc: c0000000000404fc: restore_gprs+0xc0/0x148
       lr: 0000000000000000
       sp: 0
      msr: 9000000100201030
     current = 0xc000001dd1417c30
     paca    = 0xc00000000fe00800   softe: 0        irq_happened: 0x01
       pid   = 0, comm = swapper/2
   WARNING: exception is not recoverable, can't continue

The below fixes this by flushing the TM state before we copy the task_struct to
the clone.  To do this we go through the tmreclaim patch, which removes the
checkpointed registers from the CPU and transitions the CPU out of TM suspend
mode.  Hence we need to call tmrechkpt after to restore the checkpointed state
and the TM mode for the current task.

To make this fail from userspace is simply:
	tbegin
	li	r0, 2
	sc

x86-64, modify_ldt: Make support for 16-bit segments a runtime option

2014-06-07T20:25:38+00:00

commit fa81511bb0bbb2b1aace3695ce869da9762624ff upstream.

Checkin:

b3b42ac2cbae x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels

disabled 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels due to an information
leak.  However, it does seem that people are genuinely using Wine to
run old 16-bit Windows programs on Linux.

A proper fix for this ("espfix64") is coming in the upcoming merge
window, but as a temporary fix, create a sysctl to allow the
administrator to re-enable support for 16-bit segments.

It adds a "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" sysctl that defaults to zero (off). If
you hit this issue and care about your old Windows program more than
you care about a kernel stack address information leak, you can do

   echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16

as root (add it to your startup scripts), and you should be ok.

The sysctl table is only added if you have COMPAT support enabled on
x86-64, but I assume anybody who runs old windows binaries very much
does that ;)
