x86/cpu: Add workaround for MONITOR instruction erratum on Goldmont based CPUs

2016-07-20T07:48:40+00:00

Monitored cached line may not wake up from mwait on certain
Goldmont based CPUs. This patch will avoid calling
current_set_polling_and_test() and thereby not set the TIF_ flag.
The result is that we'll always send IPIs for wakeups.

x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

2016-07-14T13:06:41+00:00

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.  Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

exit_thread: accept a task parameter to be exited

2016-05-21T00:58:30+00:00

We need to call exit_thread from copy_process in a fail path.  So make it
accept task_struct as a parameter.

[v2]
* s390: exit_thread_runtime_instr doesn't make sense to be called for
  non-current tasks.
* arm: fix the comment in vfp_thread_copy
* change 'me' to 'tsk' for task_struct
* now we can change only archs that actually have exit_thread

x86/entry/32: Add and check a stack canary for the SYSENTER stack

2016-03-10T08:48:14+00:00

The first instruction of the SYSENTER entry runs on its own tiny
stack.  That stack can be used if a #DB or NMI is delivered before
the SYSENTER prologue switches to a real stack.

We have code in place to prevent us from overflowing the tiny stack.
For added paranoia, add a canary to the stack and check it in
do_debug() -- that way, if something goes wrong with the #DB logic,
we'll eventually notice.

locking/x86: Use mb() around clflush()

2016-01-29T08:40:10+00:00

The following commit:

  f8e617f4582995f ("sched/idle/x86: Optimize unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs")

adds memory barriers around clflush(), but this seems wrong for UP since
barrier() has no effect on clflush().  We really want MFENCE, so switch
to mb() instead.

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.

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