Looks like on some Acer Aspire 1s with older bioses, reboot via bios
fails. It works on my machine, (with BIOS version 0.3310) but
not on some others (BIOS version 0.3309).
There's a log of problems at:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124136
This patch adds a different callback to the reboot quirk table,
to allow rebooting via keybaord controller.

Following is from Notes of section 11.5.3 of Intel processor
manual available at:
http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/325384.pdf
For the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors, after the sequence of
steps given above has been executed, the cache lines containing the
code between the end of the WBINVD instruction and before the
MTRRS have actually been disabled may be retained in the cache
hierarchy. Here, to remove code from the cache completely, a
second WBINVD instruction must be executed after the MTRRs have
been disabled.
This patch provides resolution for that.
Ideally, I will like to make changes only for Pentium 4 and Xeon
processors. But, I am not finding easier way to do it.
And, extra wbinvd() instruction does not hurt much for other
processors.

In commit f8924e770e04 ("x86: unify mp_bus_info"), the 32-bit
and 64-bit versions of MP_bus_info were rearranged to match each
other better. Unfortunately it introduced a regression: prior
to that change we used to always set the mp_bus_not_pci bit,
then clear it if we found a PCI bus. After it, we set
mp_bus_not_pci for ISA buses, clear it for PCI buses, and leave
it alone otherwise.
In the cases of ISA and PCI, there's not much difference. But
ISA is not the only non-PCI bus, so it's better to always set
mp_bus_not_pci and clear it only for PCI.
Without this change, Dan's Dell PowerEdge 4200 panics on boot
with a log indicating interrupt routing trouble unless the
"noapic" option is supplied. With this change, the machine
boots reliably without "noapic".

To make this work, we teach the page fault handler how to send
signals on failed uaccess. This only works for user addresses
(kernel addresses will never hit the page fault handler in the
first place), so we need to generate signals for those
separately.
This gets the tricky case right: if the user buffer spans
multiple pages and only the second page is invalid, we set
cr2 and si_addr correctly. UML relies on this behavior to
"fault in" pages as needed.
We steal a bit from thread_info.uaccess_err to enable this.
Before this change, uaccess_err was a 32-bit boolean value.
This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate.

The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI
instead of IRQ as the way to communicate to the other cpus to
shutdown. There were some concerns that various machines may
have problems with using an NMI IPI.
This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at
boot. The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine
panics and we learn the hard way.
Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file
runs a couple of simple tests and reports the results. The
output looks like:
...
Brought up 4 CPUs
----------------
| NMI testsuite:
--------------------
remote IPI: ok |
local IPI: ok |
--------------------
Good, all 2 testcases passed! |
---------------------------------
Total of 4 processors activated (21330.61 BogoMIPS).

A recent discussion started talking about the locking on the
pstore fs and how it relates to the kmsg infrastructure. We
noticed it was possible for userspace to r/w to the pstore fs
(grabbing the locks in the process) and block the panic path
from r/w to the same fs.
The reason was the cpu with the lock could be doing work while
the crashing cpu is panic'ing. Busting those spinlocks might
cause those cpus to step on each other's data. Fine, fair
enough.
It was suggested it would be nice to serialize the panic path
(ie stop the other cpus) and have only one cpu running. This
would allow us to bust the spinlocks and not worry about another
cpu stepping on the data.
Of course, smp_send_stop() does this in the panic case.
kmsg_dump() would have to be moved to be called after it. Easy
enough.
The only problem is on x86 the smp_send_stop() function calls
the REBOOT_VECTOR. Any cpu with irqs disabled (which pstore and
its backend ERST would do), block this IPI and thus do not stop.
This makes it difficult to reliably log data to the pstore fs.
The patch below switches from the REBOOT_VECTOR to NMI (and
mimics what kdump does). Switching to NMI allows us to deliver
the IPI when irqs are disabled, increasing the reliability of
this function.
However, Andi carefully noted that on some machines this
approach does not work because of broken BIOSes or whatever.
To help accomodate this, the next couple of patches will run a
selftest and provide a knob to disable.
V2:
uses atomic ops to serialize the cpu that shuts everyone down
V3:

The overflow checking of kernel stack checks if the stack
pointer points to the available kernel stack range, which is
derived from the original overflow checking.
It is clear that curbase address is always less than low
boundary of available kernel stack. So, this patch removes the
first condition that checks if the pointer is higher than
curbase.

Currently, messages are just output on the detection of stack
overflow, which is not sufficient for systems that need a
high reliability. This is because in general the overflow may
corrupt data, and the additional corruption may occur due to
reading them unless systems stop.
This patch adds the sysctl parameter
kernel.panic_on_stackoverflow and causes a panic when detecting
the overflows of kernel, IRQ and exception stacks except user
stack according to the parameter. It is disabled by default.

enhance it, it is required to check the IRQ and exception

The kernel stack overflow is checked in stack_overflow_check(),
which may wrongly detect the overflow if the stack pointer in
user space points to the kernel stack intentionally or
accidentally. So, the actual overflow is never detected after
this misdetection because WARN_ONCE() is used on the detection
of it.
This patch adds user-mode-vm checking before it to avoid this
problem and bails out early if the user stack is used.

On AMD family 10h we see firmware bug messages like the following:
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 6, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x10400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 6, IBS interrupt offset 0 not available (MSRC001103A=0x0000000000000100)
[Firmware Bug]: using offset 1 for IBS interrupts
[Firmware Bug]: workaround enabled for IBS LVT offset
perf: AMD IBS detected (0x00000007)
We always see this, since the offsets are not assigned by the BIOS for
this family. Force LVT offset assignment in this case. If the OS
assignment fails, fallback to BIOS settings and try to setup this.
The fallback to BIOS settings weakens the family check since
force_ibs_eilvt_setup() may fail e.g. in case of virtual machines.
But setup may still succeed if BIOS offsets are correct.
Other families don't have a workaround implemented that assigns LVT
offsets. It's ok, to drop calling force_ibs_eilvt_setup() for that
families.
With the patch the [Firmware Bug] messages vanish. We see now:
IBS: LVT offset 1 assigned
perf: AMD IBS detected (0x00000007)

People with old AMD chips are getting hung boots, because commit
bcb80e53877c ("x86, microcode, AMD: Add microcode revision to
/proc/cpuinfo") moved the microcode detection too early into
"early_init_amd()".
At that point we are *so* early in the booth that the exception tables
haven't even been set up yet, so the whole
rdmsr_safe(MSR_AMD64_PATCH_LEVEL, &c->microcode, &dummy);
doesn't actually work: if the rdmsr does a GP fault (due to non-existant
MSR register on older CPU's), we can't fix it up yet, and the boot fails.
Fix it by simply moving the code to a slightly later point in the boot
(init_amd() instead of early_init_amd()), since the kernel itself
doesn't even really care about the microcode patchlevel at this point
(or really ever: it's made available to user space in /proc/cpuinfo, and
updated if you do a microcode load).

The idea behind commit d91ee5863b71 ("cpuidle: replace xen access to x86
pm_idle and default_idle") was to have one call - disable_cpuidle()
which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code. It disallows
cpuidle_idle_call to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent).
But in the select_idle_routine() and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still
be set to either: amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle. This
depends on some CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU.
In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor
(Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get:
Brought up 2 CPUs
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 #1
RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81015d1d>] [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4

RIP [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4
RSP <ffff8801d28ddf10>
In the case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but we
do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor, and then
follow it up with a yield hypercall. Meaning we end up going to
hypervisor twice instead of just once.
The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set to
default_idle regardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup.
We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen. This patch
does that.

Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in
kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled,
preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph
tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the
preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace
version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and
prevents the recursion.

is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c.
This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place,
and allows for kernel space and user space to see different
information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers
when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in
the near future.
This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64
and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with
the same mechanism.

The option iommu=group_mf indicates the that the iommu driver should
expose all functions of a multi-function PCI device as the same
iommu_device_group. This is useful for disallowing individual functions
being exposed as independent devices to userspace as there are often
hidden dependencies. Virtual functions are not affected by this option.

Now that the core offcore support is fixed up (thanks Stephane) and we
have sane generic events utilizing them, re-enable the raw access to
the feature as well.
Note that it doesn't matter if you use event 0x1b7 or 0x1bb to specify
an offcore event, either one works and neither guarantees you'll end
up on a particular offcore MSR.

ioapic chip
with "apic=verbose" the print_IO_APIC() function tries to print
IRQ to pin mappings for every active irq. It assumes chip_data
is of type irq_cfg and may cause an oops if not.
As the print_IO_APIC() is called from a late_initcall other
chained irq chips may already be registered with custom
chip_data information, causing an oops. This is the case with
intel MID SoC devices with gpio demuxers registered as irq_chips.

Moorestown/Medfield platform does not have port 0x61 to report
NMI status, nor does it have external NMI sources. The only NMI
sources are from lapic, as results of perf counter overflow or
IPI, e.g. NMI watchdog or spin lock debug.
Reading port 0x61 on Moorestown will return 0xff which misled
NMI handlers to false critical errors such memory parity error.
The subsequent ioport access for NMI handling can also cause
undefined behavior on Moorestown.
This patch allows kernel process NMI due to watchdog or backrace
dump without unnecessary hangs.

Arjan would like to make struct file_operations const, but
mce-inject directly writes to the mce_chrdev_ops to install its
write handler. In an ideal world mce-inject would have its own
character device, but we have a sizable legacy of test scripts
that hardwire "/dev/mcelog", so it would be painful to switch to
a separate device now. Instead, this patch switches to a stub
function in the mce code, with a registration helper that
mce-inject can call when it is loaded.
Note that this would also allow for a sane process to allow
mce-inject to be unloaded again (with an unregister function,
and appropriate module_{get,put}() calls), but that is left for
potential future patches.

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
double copy of the message via shared memory.
The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
process's address space into a destination process's address space.
- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
using it:
- Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
written to would need to be contiguous.
- Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
(reason appears to have been lost)
- Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
of processes that all need to do this with each other
- Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
consider adding in the future (see below)
- Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)
As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to
do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all
communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the
example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
copying.
There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an
MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data
from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
and destination and store it in the destination.
Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which
hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for
OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
when the mm changes.
There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2
There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:
http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt
This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.
For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:
