Prevent timer value 0 for MWAITX

2017-04-30T11:35:11+00:00

Newer hardware has uncovered a bug in the software implementation of
using MWAITX for the delay function. A value of 0 for the timer is meant
to indicate that a timeout will not be used to exit MWAITX. On newer
hardware this can result in MWAITX never returning, resulting in NMI
soft lockup messages being printed. On older hardware, some of the other
conditions under which MWAITX can exit masked this issue. The AMD APM
does not currently document this and will be updated.

Please refer to http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=148950623231140 for
information regarding NMI soft lockup messages on an AMD Ryzen 1800X.
This has been root-caused as a 0 passed to MWAITX causing it to wait
indefinitely.

This change has the added benefit of avoiding the unnecessary setup of
MONITORX/MWAITX when the delay value is zero.

x86/mce: Fix copy/paste error in exception table entries

2017-03-22T07:43:25+00:00

Back in commit:

  92b0729c34cab ("x86/mm, x86/mce: Add memcpy_mcsafe()")

... I made a copy/paste error setting up the exception table entries
and ended up with two for label .L_cache_w3 and none for .L_cache_w2.

This means that if we take a machine check on:

  .L_cache_w2: movq 2*8(%rsi), %r10

then we don't have an exception table entry for this instruction
and we can't recover.

Fix: s/3/2/

x86/timer: Make delay() work during early bootup

2017-01-22T09:03:12+00:00

When a panic happens during bootup, "Rebooting in X seconds.." is
shown, but reboot happens immediatelly. It is because panic() uses mdelay()
and mdelay() calls __const_udelay() immediately, which does not
work while booting.

The per_cpu cpu_info.loops_per_jiffy value is not initialized yet, so
__const_udelay() actually multiplies the number of loops by zero. This
results in __const_udelay() to delay the execution only by a nanosecond
or so.

So check whether cpu_info.loops_per_jiffy is zero and use
loops_per_jiffy in that case. mdelay() will not be so precise without
proper calibration, but it works relatively well.

Before:

  [    0.170039] delaying 100ms
  [    0.170828] done

After

  [    0.214042] delaying 100ms
  [    0.313974] done

I do not think the added check matters given we are about to spin the
processor in the next few hundred cycles.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

   Piggin

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with

x86/mce: Improve memcpy_mcsafe()

2016-09-05T09:47:31+00:00

Use the mcsafe_key defined in the previous patch to make decisions on which
copy function to use. We can't use the FEATURE bit any more because PCI
quirks run too late to affect the patching of code. So we use a static key.

Turn memcpy_mcsafe() into an inline function to make life easier for
callers. The assembly code that actually does the copy is now named
memcpy_mcsafe_unrolled()

x86/mm/kaslr: Fix -Wformat-security warning

2016-08-11T08:58:12+00:00

debug_putstr() is used to output strings without using printf-like
formatting but debug_putstr(v) is defined as early_printk(v) in
arch/x86/lib/kaslr.c.

This makes clang reports the following warning when building
with -Wformat-security:

    arch/x86/lib/kaslr.c:57:15: warning: format string is not a string
    literal (potentially insecure) [-Wformat-security]
            debug_putstr(purpose);
                         ^~~~~~~

Fix this by using "%s" in early_printk().
