efi: fix 32bit kernel boot failed problem using efi

2015-08-10T19:21:06+00:00

Commit 35d5134b7d5a
("x86/efi: Correct EFI boot stub use of code32_start")
imported a bug, which will cause 32bit kernel boot failed
using efi method. It should use the label's address instead
of the value stored in the label to caculate the address of
code32_start.

avr32: handle NULL as a valid clock object

2015-08-10T19:21:06+00:00

commit 5c02a4206538da12c040b51778d310df84c6bf6c upstream.

Since NULL is used as valid clock object on optional clocks we have to handle
this case in avr32 implementation as well.

x86/efi: Use all 64 bit of efi_memmap in setup_e820()

2015-08-10T19:21:06+00:00

commit 7cc03e48965453b5df1cce5062c826189b04b960 upstream.

The efi_info structure stores low 32 bits of memory map
in efi_memmap and high 32 bits in efi_memmap_hi.

While constructing pointer in the setup_e820(), need
to take into account all 64 bit of the pointer.

It is because on 64bit machine the function
efi_get_memory_map() may return full 64bit pointer and before
the patch that pointer was truncated.

The issue is triggered on Parallles virtual machine and
fixed with this patch.

ARC: make sure instruction_pointer() returns unsigned value

2015-08-10T19:21:04+00:00

commit f51e2f1911122879eefefa4c592dea8bf794b39c upstream.

Currently instruction_pointer() returns pt_regs->ret and so return value
is of type "long", which implicitly stands for "signed long".

While that's perfectly fine when dealing with 32-bit values if return
value of instruction_pointer() gets assigned to 64-bit variable sign
extension may happen.

And at least in one real use-case it happens already.
In perf_prepare_sample() return value of perf_instruction_pointer()
(which is an alias to instruction_pointer() in case of ARC) is assigned
to (struct perf_sample_data)->ip (which type is "u64").

And what we see if instuction pointer points to user-space application
that in case of ARC lays below 0x8000_0000 "ip" gets set properly with
leading 32 zeros. But if instruction pointer points to kernel address
space that starts from 0x8000_0000 then "ip" is set with 32 leadig
"f"-s. I.e. id instruction_pointer() returns 0x8100_0000, "ip" will be
assigned with 0xffff_ffff__8100_0000. Which is obviously wrong.

In particular that issuse broke output of perf, because perf was unable
to associate addresses like 0xffff_ffff__8100_0000 with anything from
/proc/kallsyms.

That's what we used to see:
 ----------->8----------
  6.27%  ls       [unknown]                [k] 0xffffffff8046c5cc
  2.96%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] memcpy
  2.25%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] memset
  1.66%  ls       [unknown]                [k] 0xffffffff80666536
  1.54%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] 0x000224d6
  1.18%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] 0x00022472
 ----------->8----------

With that change perf output looks much better now:
 ----------->8----------
  8.21%  ls       [kernel.kallsyms]        [k] memset
  3.52%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] memcpy
  2.11%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] malloc
  1.88%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so  [.] memset
  1.64%  ls       [kernel.kallsyms]        [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
  1.41%  ls       [kernel.kallsyms]        [k] __d_lookup_rcu

s390/sclp: clear upper register halves in _sclp_print_early

2015-08-10T19:21:04+00:00

commit f9c87a6f46d508eae0d9ae640be98d50f237f827 upstream.

If the kernel is compiled with gcc 5.1 and the XZ compression option
the decompress_kernel function calls _sclp_print_early in 64-bit mode
while the content of the upper register half of %r6 is non-zero.
This causes a specification exception on the servc instruction in
_sclp_servc.

The _sclp_print_early function saves and restores the upper registers
halves but it fails to clear them for the 31-bit code of the mini sclp
driver.

arm64: Don't report clear pmds and puds as huge

2015-08-03T16:29:59+00:00

commit fd28f5d439fca77348c129d5b73043a56f8a0296 upstream.

The current pmd_huge() and pud_huge() functions simply check if the table
bit is not set and reports the entries as huge in that case.  This is
counter-intuitive as a clear pmd/pud cannot also be a huge pmd/pud, and
it is inconsistent with at least arm and x86.

To prevent others from making the same mistake as me in looking at code
that calls these functions and to fix an issue with KVM on arm64 that
causes memory corruption due to incorrect page reference counting
resulting from this mistake, let's change the behavior.

arm64: vdso: work-around broken ELF toolchains in Makefile

2015-08-03T16:29:51+00:00

commit 6f1a6ae87c0c60d7c462ef8fd071f291aa7a9abb upstream.

When building the kernel with a bare-metal (ELF) toolchain, the -shared
option may not be passed down to collect2, resulting in silent corruption
of the vDSO image (in particular, the DYNAMIC section is omitted).

The effect of this corruption is that the dynamic linker fails to find
the vDSO symbols and libc is instead used for the syscalls that we
intended to optimise (e.g. gettimeofday). Functionally, there is no
issue as the sigreturn trampoline is still intact and located by the
kernel.

This patch fixes the problem by explicitly passing -shared to the linker
when building the vDSO.

arm64: mm: Fix freeing of the wrong memmap entries with !SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP

2015-08-03T16:29:51+00:00

commit b9bcc919931611498e856eae9bf66337330d04cc upstream.

The memmap freeing code in free_unused_memmap() computes the end of
each memblock by adding the memblock size onto the base.  However,
if SPARSEMEM is enabled then the value (start) used for the base
may already have been rounded downwards to work out which memmap
entries to free after the previous memblock.

This may cause memmap entries that are in use to get freed.

In general, you're not likely to hit this problem unless there
are at least 2 memblocks and one of them is not aligned to a
sparsemem section boundary.  Note that carve-outs can increase
the number of memblocks by splitting the regions listed in the
device tree.

This problem doesn't occur with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, because the
vmemmap code deals with freeing the unused regions of the memmap
instead of requiring the arch code to do it.

This patch gets the memblock base out of the memblock directly when
computing the block end address to ensure the correct value is used.
