x86/AMD: Apply erratum 665 on machines without a BIOS fix

2016-09-02T18:42:28+00:00

AMD F12h machines have an erratum which can cause DIV/IDIV to behave
unpredictably. The workaround is to set MSRC001_1029[31] but sometimes
there is no BIOS update containing that workaround so let's do it
ourselves unconditionally. It is simple enough.

x86/paravirt: Do not trace _paravirt_ident_*() functions

2016-09-02T16:40:47+00:00

Łukasz Daniluk reported that on a RHEL kernel that his machine would lock up
after enabling function tracer. I asked him to bisect the functions within
available_filter_functions, which he did and it came down to three:

  _paravirt_nop(), _paravirt_ident_32() and _paravirt_ident_64()

It was found that this is only an issue when noreplace-paravirt is added
to the kernel command line.

This means that those functions are most likely called within critical
sections of the funtion tracer, and must not be traced.

In newer kenels _paravirt_nop() is defined within gcc asm(), and is no
longer an issue.  But both _paravirt_ident_{32,64}() causes the
following splat when they are traced:

arm64: kernel: Fix unmasked debug exceptions when restoring mdscr_el1

2016-09-02T16:19:55+00:00

Changes to make the resume from cpu_suspend() code behave more like
secondary boot caused debug exceptions to be unmasked early by
__cpu_setup(). We then go on to restore mdscr_el1 in cpu_do_resume(),
potentially taking break or watch points based on uninitialised registers.

Mask debug exceptions in cpu_do_resume(), which is specific to resume
from cpu_suspend(). Debug exceptions will be restored to their original
state by local_dbg_restore() in cpu_suspend(), which runs after
hw_breakpoint_restore() has re-initialised the other registers.

kconfig: tinyconfig: provide whole choice blocks to avoid warnings

2016-09-02T00:52:01+00:00

Using "make tinyconfig" produces a couple of annoying warnings that show
up for build test machines all the time:

    .config:966:warning: override: NOHIGHMEM changes choice state
    .config:965:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
    .config:963:warning: override: KERNEL_XZ changes choice state
    .config:962:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state
    .config:933:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
    .config:930:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state
    .config:870:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
    .config:868:warning: override: KERNEL_XZ changes choice state
    .config:867:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state

I've made a previous attempt at fixing them and we discussed a number of
alternatives.

I tried changing the Makefile to use "merge_config.sh -n
$(fragment-list)" but couldn't get that to work properly.

This is yet another approach, based on the observation that we do want
to see a warning for conflicting 'choice' options, and that we can
simply make them non-conflicting by listing all other options as
disabled.  This is a trivial patch that we can apply independent of
plans for other changes.

mm/usercopy: get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS

2016-08-30T17:10:21+00:00

There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for
gcc 4.6 and newer:

1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error

   This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size
   are both const, and copy size > object size.  I didn't see any false
   positives for this one.  So the function warning attribute seems to
   be working fine here.

   Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be
   changed to *always* be an error, regardless of
   CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS.

2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning

   This is another static warning which happens when I enable
   __compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and
   CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS).  It happens when object size
   is const, but copy size is *not*.  In this case there's no way to
   compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning.  (Note the
   warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing
   whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead
   code and the warning attribute is activated.)

   So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern,
   maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug".

   I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the
   __compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed.  I don't know if there
   are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small
   sample, I didn't see any.  According to Kees, it does sometimes find
   real bugs.  But the false positive rate seems high.

3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning

   This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size >
   object size.

All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled
for gcc 4.6 with the following commit:

  2fb0815c9ee6 ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+")

That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a
gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size().  But in fact,
__compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine.  The false
positives were instead triggered by #2 above.  (Though I don't have an
explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in
gcc 4.6.)

So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable
warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit.

Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time,
upgrade it to always be an error.

Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer
needed.
