x86/vm86: Set thread.vm86 to NULL on fork/clone

2015-10-31T08:50:25+00:00

thread.vm86 points to per-task information -- the pointer should not
be copied on clone.

x86/mm, kasan: Silence KASAN warnings in get_wchan()

2015-10-20T09:04:19+00:00

get_wchan() is racy by design, it may access volatile stack
of running task, thus it may access redzone in a stack frame
and cause KASAN to warn about this.

Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to silence these warnings.

x86/process: Unify 32bit and 64bit implementations of get_wchan()

2015-09-30T19:51:34+00:00

The stack layout and the functionality is identical. Use the 64bit
version for all of x86.

Pull x86 asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest changes in this cycle were:

   - Revamp, simplify (and in some cases fix) Time Stamp Counter (TSC)
     primitives.  (Andy Lutomirski)

   - Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C.
     (Andy Lutomirski)

   - vm86 mode cleanups and fixes.  (Brian Gerst)

   - 32-bit compat code cleanups.  (Brian Gerst)

  The amount of simplification in low level assembly code is already
  palpable:

     arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S                          | 130 +----
     arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S                          | 197 ++-----

  but more simplifications are planned.

  There's also the usual laudry mix of low level changes - see the
  changelog for details"

x86/idle: Restore trace_cpu_idle to mwait_idle() calls

2015-08-20T19:37:45+00:00

Commit b253149b843f ("sched/idle/x86: Restore mwait_idle() to fix boot
hangs, to improve power savings and to improve performance") restores
mwait_idle(), but the trace_cpu_idle related calls are missing. This
causes powertop on my old desktop powered by Intel Core2 E6550 to
report zero wakeups and zero events.

Add them back to restore the proper behaviour.

x86/mce: Clear Local MCE opt-in before kexec

2015-08-13T08:12:52+00:00

kexec could boot a kernel that could be legacy with no knowledge
of LMCE. Hence we should make sure we clear LMCE optin before
kexec reboot.

x86/fpu, sched: Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT and use it on x86

2015-07-18T01:42:51+00:00

Don't burden architectures without dynamic task_struct sizing
with the overhead of dynamic sizing.

Also optimize the x86 code a bit by caching task_struct_size.

x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'

2015-07-18T01:42:35+00:00

The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'.
But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per
task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance).

Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the
space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically
allocate already.  This saves from doing an extra slab
allocation at fork().

The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything
and the end of the task_struct.  But, I think the
BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too
fragile.
