2011-06-16x86, mce: Use mce_sysdev_ prefix to group functionsHidetoshi Seto
There are many functions named mce_* so use a new prefix for the subset of functions related to sysfs support. And since f3c6ea1b06c71b43f751b36bd99345369fe911af introduces syscore_ops, use the prefix mce_syscore for some functions related to power management which were in sysdev_class before.

There are many functions named mce_* so use a new prefix for the subset of functions dealing with the character device /dev/mcelog.

2011-06-16x86, mce: Check the result of ancient_init()Hidetoshi Seto
Because "ancient CPUs" like p5 and winchip don't have X86_FEATURE_MCA (I suppose so), mcheck_cpu_init() on such CPUs will return at check of mce_available() after __mcheck_cpu_ancient_init(). It is hard to know this implicit behavior without knowing the CPUs well. So make it clear that we leave mcheck_cpu_init() when the CPU is initialized in __mcheck_cpu_ancient_init().

2011-06-16x86, mce: Introduce mce_gather_info()Hidetoshi Seto
This patch introduces mce_gather_info() which is to be called at the beginning of error handling and gathers minimum error information from proper error registers (and saved registers). As the result of mce_get_rip() is integrated, unnecessary zeroing is removed. This also takes care of saving RIP which is required to make some decision about error severity for SRAR errors, instead of retrieving it later in the handler.

2011-06-09exec: delay address limit change until point of no returnMathias Krause
Unconditionally changing the address limit to USER_DS and not restoring it to its old value in the error path is wrong because it prevents us using kernel memory on repeated calls to this function. This, in fact, breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being ever successful if the first candidate fails to load. With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded) probed paths. Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread() will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.

2011-06-08x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on wrong CPUThomas Gleixner
After a newly plugged CPU sets the cpu_online bit it enables interrupts and goes idle. The cpu which brought up the new cpu waits for the cpu_online bit and when it observes it, it sets the cpu_active bit for this cpu. The cpu_active bit is the relevant one for the scheduler to consider the cpu as a viable target. With forced threaded interrupt handlers which imply forced threaded softirqs we observed the following race: cpu 0 cpu 1 bringup(cpu1); set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true); local_irq_enable(); while (!cpu_online(cpu1)); timer_interrupt() -> wake_up(softirq_thread_cpu1); -> enqueue_on(softirq_thread_cpu1, cpu0); ^^^^ cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE, cpu1); -> sched_cpu_active(cpu1) -> set_cpu_active((cpu1, true); When an interrupt happens before the cpu_active bit is set by the cpu which brought up the newly onlined cpu, then the scheduler refuses to enqueue the woken thread which is bound to that newly onlined cpu on that newly onlined cpu due to the not yet set cpu_active bit and selects a fallback runqueue. Not really an expected and desirable behaviour. So far this has only been observed with forced hard/softirq threading, but in theory this could happen without forced threaded hard/softirqs as well. It's probably unobservable as it would take a massive interrupt storm on the newly onlined cpu which causes the softirq loop to wake up the softirq thread and an even longer delay of the cpu which waits for the cpu_online bit.

2011-06-07x86-64: Emulate legacy vsyscallsAndy Lutomirski
There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page. It contains a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of some other code. Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the middle. This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real syscalls. Fortunately sensible programs don't use them. The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the development tree. This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet functions are still at a fixed address. Fixing that might involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

Unfortunatly there are systems where the AMD IOMMU does not cover all devices. This breaks with the current driver as it initializes the global dma_ops variable. This patch limits the AMD IOMMU to the devices listed in the IVRS table fixing DMA for devices not covered by the IOMMU. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
2011-06-06x86/amd-iommu: Fix 3 possible endless loopsJoerg Roedel
The driver contains several loops counting on an u16 value where the exit-condition is checked against variables that can have values up to 0xffff. In this case the loops will never exit. This patch fixed 3 such loops. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
2011-06-06x86-64: Fill unused parts of the vsyscall page with 0xccAndy Lutomirski
Jumping to 0x00 might do something depending on the following bytes. Jumping to 0xcc is a trap. So fill the unused parts of the vsyscall page with 0xcc to make it useless for exploits to jump there.

2011-06-06x86-64: Remove vsyscall number 3 (venosys)Andy Lutomirski
It just segfaults since April 2008 (a4928cff), so I'm pretty sure that nothing uses it. And having an empty section makes the linker script a bit fragile.

2011-06-05x86-64: Map the HPET NXAndy Lutomirski
Currently the HPET mapping is a user-accessible syscall instruction at a fixed address some of the time. A sufficiently determined hacker might be able to guess when.

2011-06-05x86-64: Remove kernel.vsyscall64 sysctlAndy Lutomirski
It's unnecessary overhead in code that's supposed to be highly optimized. Removing it allows us to remove one of the two syscall instructions in the vsyscall page. The only sensible use for it is for UML users, and it doesn't fully address inconsistent vsyscall results on UML. The real fix for UML is to stop using vsyscalls entirely.

Move vvars out of the vsyscall page into their own page and mark it NX. Without this patch, an attacker who can force a daemon to call some fixed address could wait until the time contains, say, 0xCD80, and then execute the current time.
