linux-stable.git/arch, branch v3.3.2 Linux kernel stable tree sched/x86: Fix overflow in cyc2ns_offset 2012-04-13T16:13:56+00:00 Salman Qazi sqazi@google.com 2012-03-10T00:41:01+00:00 1b41960c84ce5045cf5556678223bbe93a94497d commit 9993bc635d01a6ee7f6b833b4ee65ce7c06350b1 upstream. When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset. However, when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be carried over from the previous kernel. The computation of cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec. The overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is enough room to store the final answer. We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing the multiplication separately on the two components. Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous fix in __cycles_2_ns().

commit 9993bc635d01a6ee7f6b833b4ee65ce7c06350b1 upstream.

When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset.  However,
when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be
carried over from the previous kernel.  The computation of
cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the
machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec.  The
overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is
enough room to store the final answer.

We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and
remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing
the multiplication separately on the two components.

Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous
fix in __cycles_2_ns().

x86,kgdb: Fix DEBUG_RODATA limitation using text_poke() 2012-04-13T16:13:54+00:00 Jason Wessel jason.wessel@windriver.com 2012-03-23T14:35:05+00:00 c9f568f1a99794aa7b749828c41fb7cdf55fe435 commit 3751d3e85cf693e10e2c47c03c8caa65e171099b upstream. There has long been a limitation using software breakpoints with a kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA going back to 2.6.26. For this particular patch, it will apply cleanly and has been tested all the way back to 2.6.36. The kprobes code uses the text_poke() function which accommodates writing a breakpoint into a read-only page. The x86 kgdb code can solve the problem similarly by overriding the default breakpoint set/remove routines and using text_poke() directly. The x86 kgdb code will first attempt to use the traditional probe_kernel_write(), and next try using a the text_poke() function. The break point install method is tracked such that the correct break point removal routine will get called later on.

x86, tsc: Skip refined tsc calibration on systems with reliable TSC 2012-04-02T17:32:23+00:00 Alok Kataria akataria@vmware.com 2012-02-22T02:19:55+00:00 e5ff2be53c7c25a50893e7b32a6b96922a9ae904 commit 57779dc2b3b75bee05ef5d1ada47f615f7a13932 upstream. While running the latest Linux as guest under VMware in highly over-committed situations, we have seen cases when the refined TSC algorithm fails to get a valid tsc_start value in tsc_refine_calibration_work from multiple attempts. As a result the kernel keeps on scheduling the tsc_irqwork task for later. Subsequently after several attempts when it gets a valid start value it goes through the refined calibration and either bails out or uses the new results. Given that the kernel originally read the TSC frequency from the platform, which is the best it can get, I don't think there is much value in refining it. So for systems which get the TSC frequency from the platform we should skip the refined tsc algorithm. We can use the TSC_RELIABLE cpu cap flag to detect this, right now it is set only on VMware and for Moorestown Penwell both of which have there own TSC calibration methods.
