linux-stable.git/arch/arm/kernel/machine_kexec.c, branch v5.2 Linux kernel stable tree ARM: avoid Cortex-A9 livelock on tight dmb loops 2019-02-01T22:05:50+00:00 Russell King rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk 2018-04-10T10:35:36+00:00 5388a5b82199facacd3d7ac0d05aca6e8f902fed machine_crash_nonpanic_core() does this: while (1) cpu_relax(); because the kernel has crashed, and we have no known safe way to deal with the CPU. So, we place the CPU into an infinite loop which we expect it to never exit - at least not until the system as a whole is reset by some method. In the absence of erratum 754327, this code assembles to: b . In other words, an infinite loop. When erratum 754327 is enabled, this becomes: 1: dmb b 1b It has been observed that on some systems (eg, OMAP4) where, if a crash is triggered, the system tries to kexec into the panic kernel, but fails after taking the secondary CPU down - placing it into one of these loops. This causes the system to livelock, and the most noticable effect is the system stops after issuing: Loading crashdump kernel... to the system console. The tested as working solution I came up with was to add wfe() to these infinite loops thusly: while (1) { cpu_relax(); wfe(); } which, without 754327 builds to: 1: wfe b 1b or with 754327 is enabled: 1: dmb wfe b 1b Adding "wfe" does two things depending on the environment we're running under: - where we're running on bare metal, and the processor implements "wfe", it stops us spinning endlessly in a loop where we're never going to do any useful work. - if we're running in a VM, it allows the CPU to be given back to the hypervisor and rescheduled for other purposes (maybe a different VM) rather than wasting CPU cycles inside a crashed VM. However, in light of erratum 794072, Will Deacon wanted to see 10 nops as well - which is reasonable to cover the case where we have erratum 754327 enabled _and_ we have a processor that doesn't implement the wfe hint. So, we now end up with: 1: wfe b 1b when erratum 754327 is disabled, or: 1: dmb nop nop nop nop nop nop nop nop nop nop wfe b 1b when erratum 754327 is enabled. We also get the dmb + 10 nop sequence elsewhere in the kernel, in terminating loops. This is reasonable - it means we get the workaround for erratum 794072 when erratum 754327 is enabled, but still relinquish the dead processor - either by placing it in a lower power mode when wfe is implemented as such or by returning it to the hypervisior, or in the case where wfe is a no-op, we use the workaround specified in erratum 794072 to avoid the problem. These as two entirely orthogonal problems - the 10 nops addresses erratum 794072, and the wfe is an optimisation that makes the system more efficient when crashed either in terms of power consumption or by allowing the host/other VMs to make use of the CPU. I don't see any reason not to use kexec() inside a VM - it has the potential to provide automated recovery from a failure of the VMs kernel with the opportunity for saving a crashdump of the failure. A panic() with a reboot timeout won't do that, and reading the libvirt documentation, setting on_reboot to "preserve" won't either (the documentation states "The preserve action for an on_reboot event is treated as a destroy".)

machine_crash_nonpanic_core() does this:

	while (1)
		cpu_relax();

because the kernel has crashed, and we have no known safe way to deal
with the CPU.  So, we place the CPU into an infinite loop which we
expect it to never exit - at least not until the system as a whole is
reset by some method.

In the absence of erratum 754327, this code assembles to:

	b	.

In other words, an infinite loop.  When erratum 754327 is enabled,
this becomes:

1:	dmb
	b	1b

It has been observed that on some systems (eg, OMAP4) where, if a
crash is triggered, the system tries to kexec into the panic kernel,
but fails after taking the secondary CPU down - placing it into one
of these loops.  This causes the system to livelock, and the most
noticable effect is the system stops after issuing:

	Loading crashdump kernel...

to the system console.

The tested as working solution I came up with was to add wfe() to
these infinite loops thusly:

	while (1) {
		cpu_relax();
		wfe();
	}

which, without 754327 builds to:

1:	wfe
	b	1b

or with 754327 is enabled:

1:	dmb
	wfe
	b	1b

Adding "wfe" does two things depending on the environment we're running
under:
- where we're running on bare metal, and the processor implements
  "wfe", it stops us spinning endlessly in a loop where we're never
  going to do any useful work.
- if we're running in a VM, it allows the CPU to be given back to the
  hypervisor and rescheduled for other purposes (maybe a different VM)
  rather than wasting CPU cycles inside a crashed VM.

However, in light of erratum 794072, Will Deacon wanted to see 10 nops
as well - which is reasonable to cover the case where we have erratum
754327 enabled _and_ we have a processor that doesn't implement the
wfe hint.

So, we now end up with:

1:      wfe
        b       1b

when erratum 754327 is disabled, or:

1:      dmb
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        wfe
        b       1b

when erratum 754327 is enabled.  We also get the dmb + 10 nop
sequence elsewhere in the kernel, in terminating loops.

This is reasonable - it means we get the workaround for erratum
794072 when erratum 754327 is enabled, but still relinquish the dead
processor - either by placing it in a lower power mode when wfe is
implemented as such or by returning it to the hypervisior, or in the
case where wfe is a no-op, we use the workaround specified in erratum
794072 to avoid the problem.

These as two entirely orthogonal problems - the 10 nops addresses
erratum 794072, and the wfe is an optimisation that makes the system
more efficient when crashed either in terms of power consumption or
by allowing the host/other VMs to make use of the CPU.

I don't see any reason not to use kexec() inside a VM - it has the
potential to provide automated recovery from a failure of the VMs
kernel with the opportunity for saving a crashdump of the failure.
A panic() with a reboot timeout won't do that, and reading the
libvirt documentation, setting on_reboot to "preserve" won't either
(the documentation states "The preserve action for an on_reboot event
is treated as a destroy".)  Surely it has to be a good thing to

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license 2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00 Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@linuxfoundation.org 2017-11-01T14:07:57+00:00 b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------

   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

ARM: use virt_to_idmap() for soft_restart() 2016-02-08T15:48:32+00:00 Russell King rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk 2016-01-11T17:03:54+00:00 4138323eac0b485316e54ad9ce241bac24ddd175 Code run via soft_restart() is run with the MMU disabled, so we need to pass the identity map physical address rather than the address obtained from virt_to_phys(). Therefore, replace virt_to_phys() with virt_to_idmap() for all callers of soft_restart(). Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

ARM: 8338/1: kexec: Relax SMP validation to improve DT compatibility 2015-04-02T08:59:43+00:00 Geert Uytterhoeven geert@linux-m68k.org 2015-04-01T12:36:57+00:00 fee3fd4fd2ad136b26226346c3f8b446cc120bf5 When trying to kexec into a new kernel on a platform where multiple CPU cores are present, but no SMP bringup code is available yet, the kexec_load system call fails with: kexec_load failed: Invalid argument The SMP test added to machine_kexec_prepare() in commit 2103f6cba61a8b8b ("ARM: 7807/1: kexec: validate CPU hotplug support") wants to prohibit kexec on SMP platforms where it cannot disable secondary CPUs. However, this test is too strict: if the secondary CPUs couldn't be enabled in the first place, there's no need to disable them later at kexec time. Hence skip the test in the absence of SMP bringup code. This allows to add all CPU cores to the DTS from the beginning, without having to implement SMP bringup first, improving DT compatibility.

When trying to kexec into a new kernel on a platform where multiple CPU
cores are present, but no SMP bringup code is available yet, the
kexec_load system call fails with:

    kexec_load failed: Invalid argument

The SMP test added to machine_kexec_prepare() in commit 2103f6cba61a8b8b
("ARM: 7807/1: kexec: validate CPU hotplug support") wants to prohibit
kexec on SMP platforms where it cannot disable secondary CPUs.
However, this test is too strict: if the secondary CPUs couldn't be
enabled in the first place, there's no need to disable them later at
kexec time.  Hence skip the test in the absence of SMP bringup code.

This allows to add all CPU cores to the DTS from the beginning, without
having to implement SMP bringup first, improving DT compatibility.
