      x86/reboot/quirks: Add iMac10,1 to pci_reboot_dmi_table[] · 2f0c0b2d
      Mario Kleiner authored
      
      Without the reboot=pci method, the iMac 10,1 simply
      hangs after printing "Restarting system" at the point
      when it should reboot. This fixes it.

      lguest: Map switcher text R/O · e27d90e8
      Rusty Russell authored
      
      Pavel noted that lguest maps the switcher code executable and
      read-write.  This is a bad idea for any kernel text, but
      particularly for text mapped at a fixed address.
      
      Create two vmas, one for the text (PAGE_KERNEL_RX) and another
      for the stacks (PAGE_KERNEL).  Use VM_NO_GUARD to map them
      adjacent (as expected by the rest of the code).

      x86/fpu: Disable AVX when eagerfpu is off · 394db20c
      yu-cheng yu authored
      
      When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
      should disable AVX support.
      
      The Task Switched bit used for lazy context switching does not
      support AVX. If AVX is enabled without eagerfpu context
      switching, one task's AVX state could become corrupted or leak
      to other tasks. This is a bug and has bad security implications.
      
      This only affects systems that have AVX/AVX2/AVX512 and this
      issue will be found only when one actually uses AVX/AVX2/AVX512
      _AND_ does eagerfpu=off.
      
      Reference: Intel Software Developer's Manual Vol. 3A
      
      Sec. 2.5 Control Registers:
      TS Task Switched bit (bit 3 of CR0) -- Allows the saving of the
      x87 FPU/ MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4 context on a task switch
      to be delayed until an x87 FPU/MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4
      instruction is actually executed by the new task.
      
      Sec. 13.4.1 Using the TS Flag to Control the Saving of the X87
      FPU and SSE State
      When the TS flag is set, the processor monitors the instruction
      stream for x87 FPU, MMX, SSE instructions. When the processor
      detects one of these instructions, it raises a
      device-not-available exeception (#NM) prior to executing the
      instruction.

      x86/fpu: Disable MPX when eagerfpu is off · a5fe93a5
      yu-cheng yu authored
      
      This issue is a fallout from the command-line parsing move.
      
      When "eagerfpu=off" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
      should disable MPX support. The decision for turning off MPX was
      made in fpu__init_system_ctx_switch(), which is after the
      selection of the XSAVE format. This patch fixes it by getting
      that decision done earlier in fpu__init_system_xstate().

      x86/fpu: Disable XGETBV1 when no XSAVE · eb7c5f87
      yu-cheng yu authored
      
      When "noxsave" is given as a command-line input, the kernel
      should disable XGETBV1. This issue currently does not cause any
      actual problems. XGETBV1 is only useful if we have something
      using the 'init optimization' (i.e. xsaveopt, xsaves). We
      already clear both of those in fpu__xstate_clear_all_cpu_caps().
      But this is good for completeness.

      x86/fpu: Fix early FPU command-line parsing · 4f81cbaf
      yu-cheng yu authored
      
      The function fpu__init_system() is executed before
      parse_early_param(). This causes wrong FPU configuration. This
      patch fixes this issue by parsing boot_command_line in the
      beginning of fpu__init_system().
      
      With all four patches in this series, each parameter disables
      features as the following:
      
      eagerfpu=off: eagerfpu, avx, avx2, avx512, mpx
      no387: fpu

      selftests/x86: Disable the ldt_gdt_64 test for now · 0f672809
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      
      ldt_gdt.c relies on cross-cpu invalidation of SS to do one of
      its tests.  On 32-bit builds, this works fine, but on 64-bit
      builds, it only works if the kernel has proper SS sigcontext
      handling for 64-bit user programs.
      
      Since the SS fixes are currently reverted, restrict the test
      case to 32 bits for now.
      
      In principle, I could change the test to use a different segment
      register, but it would be messy: CS can't point to the LDT for
      64-bit code, and the other registers don't result in immediate
      faults because they aren't reloaded on kernel -> user
      transitions.
      
      When we fix sigcontext (in 4.6?), we can revert this.

      x86/boot: Double BOOT_HEAP_SIZE to 64KB · 8c31902c
      H.J. Lu authored
      
      When decompressing kernel image during x86 bootup, malloc memory
      for ELF program headers may run out of heap space, which leads
      to system halt.  This patch doubles BOOT_HEAP_SIZE to 64KB.
      
      Tested with 32-bit kernel which failed to boot without this patch.

      x86/mm: Add barriers and document switch_mm()-vs-flush synchronization · 71b3c126
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      
      When switch_mm() activates a new PGD, it also sets a bit that
      tells other CPUs that the PGD is in use so that TLB flush IPIs
      will be sent.  In order for that to work correctly, the bit
      needs to be visible prior to loading the PGD and therefore
      starting to fill the local TLB.
      
      Document all the barriers that make this work correctly and add
      a couple that were missing.

      Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
      New features:
      
      - Allow using trace events fields as sort order keys, making 'perf evlist --trace_fields'
        show those, and then the user can select a subset and use like:
      
          perf top -e sched:sched_switch -s prev_comm,next_comm
      
        That works as well in 'perf report' when handling files containing
        tracepoints.
      
        The default when just tracepoint events are found in a perf.data file is to
        format it like ftrace, using the libtraceevent formatters, plugins, etc (Namhyung Kim)
      
      - Add support in 'perf script' to process 'perf stat record' generated files,
        culminating in a python perf script that calculates CPI (Cycles per
        Instruction) (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Show random perf tool tips in the 'perf report' bottom line (Namhyung Kim)
      
      - perf report now defaults to --group if the perf.data file has grouped events, try it with:
      
        # perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' -a sleep 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

      User visible fixes:
      
      - Coect data mmaps so that the DWARF unwinder can handle usecases needing them,
        like softice (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Decay callchains in fractal mode, fixing up cases where 'perf top -g' would
        show entries with more than 100% (Namhyung Kim)
      
      Infrastructure changes:
      
      - Sync tools/lib with the lib/ in the kernel sources for find_bit.c and
        move bitmap.[ch] from tools/perf/util/ to tools/lib/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - No need to set attr.sample_freq in some 'perf test' entries that only
        want to deal with PERF_RECORD_ meta-events, improve a bit error output
        for CQM test (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - Fix python binding build, adding some missing object files now required
        due to cpumap using find_bit stuff (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - tools/build improvemnts (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Add more files to cscope/ctags databases (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Do not show 'trace' in 'perf help' if it is not compiled in (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Make perf_evlist__open() open evsels with their cpus and threads,
        like perf record does, making them consistent (Adrian Hunter)
      
      - Fix pmu snapshot initialization bug (Stephane Eranian)
      
      - Add missing headers in perf's MANIFEST (Wang Nan)

      vmstat: allocate vmstat_wq before it is used · 751e5f5c

      kernel test robot has reported the following crash:
      
        BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000100

          ret_from_kernel_thread+0x21/0x40
      
      The reason is that start_shepherd_timer schedules the shepherd work item
      which uses vmstat_wq (vmstat_shepherd) before setup_vmstat allocates
      that workqueue so if the further initialization takes more than HZ we
      might end up scheduling on a NULL vmstat_wq.  This is really unlikely
      but not impossible.
      
      Fixes: 373ccbe5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress")
