x86/dumpstack: Add log_lvl to __show_regs()

2020-07-22T21:56:53+00:00

show_trace_log_lvl() provides x86 platform-specific way to unwind
backtrace with a given log level. Unfortunately, registers dump(s) are
not printed with the same log level - instead, KERN_DEFAULT is always
used.

Arista's switches uses quite common setup with rsyslog, where only
urgent messages goes to console (console_log_level=KERN_ERR), everything
else goes into /var/log/ as the console baud-rate often is indecently
slow (9600 bps).

Backtrace dumps without registers printed have proven to be as useful as
morning standups. Furthermore, in order to introduce KERN_UNSUPPRESSED
(which I believe is still the most elegant way to fix raciness of sysrq[1])
the log level should be passed down the stack to register dumping
functions. Besides, there is a potential use-case for printing traces
with KERN_DEBUG level [2] (where registers dump shouldn't appear with
higher log level).

Add log_lvl parameter to __show_regs().
Keep the used log level intact to separate visible change.

mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included

2020-06-09T16:39:13+00:00

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes  to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include 
in the files that include .

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include ") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include / d' $f
	done

x86/resctrl: Rename asm/resctrl_sched.h to asm/resctrl.h

2020-05-06T15:45:22+00:00

asm/resctrl_sched.h is dedicated to the code used for configuration
of the CPU resource control state when a task is scheduled.

Rename resctrl_sched.h to resctrl.h in preparation of additions that
will no longer make this file dedicated to work done during scheduling.

No functional change.

x86: Remove force_iret()

2020-01-08T18:40:51+00:00

force_iret() was originally intended to prevent the return to user mode with
the SYSRET or SYSEXIT instructions, in cases where the register state could
have been changed to be incompatible with those instructions.  The entry code
has been significantly reworked since then, and register state is validated
before SYSRET or SYSEXIT are used.  force_iret() no longer serves its original
purpose and can be eliminated.

2019-11-16T10:23:59+00:00

While looking at the TSS io bitmap it turned out that any change in that
area would require identical changes to copy_thread_tls(). The 32 and 64

x86/stackframe/32: Provide consistent pt_regs

2019-06-25T08:23:47+00:00

Currently pt_regs on x86_32 has an oddity in that kernel regs
(!user_mode(regs)) are short two entries (esp/ss). This means that any
code trying to use them (typically: regs->sp) needs to jump through
some unfortunate hoops.

Change the entry code to fix this up and create a full pt_regs frame.

This then simplifies various trampolines in ftrace and kprobes, the
stack unwinder, ptrace, kdump and kgdb.

Much thanks to Josh for help with the cleanups!

Merge branch 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2019-05-07T17:24:10+00:00

Pull x86 FPU state handling updates from Borislav Petkov:
 "This contains work started by Rik van Riel and brought to fruition by
  Sebastian Andrzej Siewior with the main goal to optimize when to load
  FPU registers: only when returning to userspace and not on every
  context switch (while the task remains in the kernel).

  In addition, this optimization makes kernel_fpu_begin() cheaper by
  requiring registers saving only on the first invocation and skipping
  that in following ones.

  What is more, this series cleans up and streamlines many aspects of
  the already complex FPU code, hopefully making it more palatable for
  future improvements and simplifications.

  Finally, there's a __user annotations fix from Jann Horn"

x86/fpu: Defer FPU state load until return to userspace

2019-04-12T17:34:47+00:00

Defer loading of FPU state until return to userspace. This gives
the kernel the potential to skip loading FPU state for tasks that
stay in kernel mode, or for tasks that end up with repeated
invocations of kernel_fpu_begin() & kernel_fpu_end().

The fpregs_lock/unlock() section ensures that the registers remain
unchanged. Otherwise a context switch or a bottom half could save the
registers to its FPU context and the processor's FPU registers would
became random if modified at the same time.

KVM swaps the host/guest registers on entry/exit path. This flow has
been kept as is. First it ensures that the registers are loaded and then
saves the current (host) state before it loads the guest's registers. The
swap is done at the very end with disabled interrupts so it should not
change anymore before theg guest is entered. The read/save version seems
to be cheaper compared to memcpy() in a micro benchmark.

Each thread gets TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD set as part of fork() / fpu__copy().
For kernel threads, this flag gets never cleared which avoids saving /
restoring the FPU state for kernel threads and during in-kernel usage of
the FPU registers.
