This enables us to avoid printing swiotlb memory info when we
initialize swiotlb. After swiotlb initialization, we could find
that we don't need swiotlb.This patch removes the code to print swiotlb memory info in
swiotlb_init() and exports the function to do that.Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori

Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks
for X86 (See commit 314cdbefd1fd0a7acf3780e9628465b77ea6a836).IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the
available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction
that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use
a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values.Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous
implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the
contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in
the noise.Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

Summary:
Asserting INIT might block kdump if the system is already going to
start kdump via panic.Description:
INIT can interrupt anywhere in panic path, so it can interrupt in
middle of kdump kicked by panic. Therefore there is a race if kdump
is kicked concurrently, via Panic and via INIT.INIT could fail to invoke kdump if the system is already going to
start kdump via panic. It could not restart kdump from INIT handler
if some of cpus are already playing dead with INIT masked. It also
means that INIT could block kdump's progress if no monarch is entered
in the INIT rendezvous.Panic+INIT is a rare, but possible situation since it can be assumed
that the kernel or an internal agent decides to panic the unstable
system while another external agent decides to send an INIT to the
system at same time.How to reproduce:
Assert INIT just after panic, before all other cpus have frozen
Expected results:
continue kdump invoked by panic, or restart kdump from INIT
Actual results:
might be hang, crashdump not retrieved
Proposed Fix:
This patch masks INIT first in panic path to take the initiative on
kdump, and reuse atomic value kdump_in_progress to make sure there is
only one initiator of kdump. All INITs asserted later should be used
only for freezing all other cpus.This mask will be removed soon by rfi in relocate_kernel.S, before jump
into kdump kernel, after all cpus are frozen and no-op INIT handler is
registered. So if INIT was in the interval while it is masked, it will
pend on the system and will received just after the rfi, and handled by
the no-op handler.If there was a MCA event while psr.mc is 1, in theory the event will
pend on the system and will received just after the rfi same as above.
MCA handler is unregistered here at the time, so received MCA will not
reach to OS_MCA and will result in warmboot by SAL.Note that codes in this masked interval are relatively simpler than
that in MCA/INIT handler which also executed with the mask. So it can
be said that probability of error in this interval is supposed not so
higher than that in MCA/INIT handler.Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto

Summary:
Asserting INIT on cpu going to be offline will result in unexpected
behavior. It will be a real problem in kdump cases where INIT might
be asserted to unstable APs going to be offline by returning to SAL.Description:
Since psr.mc is cleared when bits in psr are set to SAL_PSR_BITS_TO_SET
in ia64_jump_to_sal(), there is a small window (~few msecs) that the
cpu can receive INIT even if the cpu enter there via INIT handler.
In this window we do restore of registers for SAL, so INIT asserted
here will not work properly.It is hard to remove this window by masking INIT (i.e. setting psr.mc)
because we have to unmask it later in OS, because we have to use branch
instruction (br.ret, not rfi) to return SAL, due to OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to
SAL return convention.I suppose this window will not be a real problem on cpu offline if we
can educate people not to push INIT button during hotplug operation.
However, only exception is a race in kdump and INIT. Now kdump returns
APs to SAL before processing dump, but the kernel might receive INIT at
that point in time. Such INIT might be asserted by kdump itself if an
AP doesn't react IPI soon and kdump decided to use INIT to stop the AP.
Or it might be asserted by operator or an external agent to start dump
on the unstable system.Such panic+INIT or INIT+INIT cases should be rare, but it will be happy
if we can retrieve crashdump even in such cases.How to reproduce:
panic+INIT or INIT+INIT, with kdump configured
Expected results:
crashdump is retrieved anyway
Actual results:
panic, hang etc. (unexpected)
Proposed fix
To avoid the window on the way to SAL, this patch stops returning APs
to SAL in case of kdump. In other words, this patch makes APs spin
in OS instead of spinning in SAL.(* Note: What impact would be there? If a cpu is spinning in SAL,
the cpu is in BOOT_RENDEZ loop, as same as offlined cpu.
In theory if an INIT is asserted there, cpus in the BOOT_RENDEZ loop
should not invoke OS_INIT on it. So in either way, no matter where
the cpu is spinning actually in, once cpu starts spin and act as
"frozen," INIT on the cpu have no effects.
From another point of view, all debug information on the cpu should
have stored to memory before the cpu start to be frozen. So no more
action on the cpu is required.)I confirmed that the kdump sometime hangs by concurrent INITs (another
INIT after an INIT), and it doesn't hang after applying this patch.Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto

Summary:
MCA on the beginning of kdump/kexec kernel will result in unexpected
behavior because MCA handler for previous kernel is invoked on the
kdump kernel.Description:
Once a cpu is passed to new kernel, all resources in previous kernel
should not be used from the cpu. Even the resources for MCA handler
are no exception. So we cannot handle MCAs and its machine check
errors during kernel transition, until new handler for new kernel is
registered with new resources ready for handling the MCA.How to reproduce:
Assert MCA while kdump kernel is booting, before new MCA handler for
kdump kernel is registered.Expected(Desirable) results:
No recovery, cancel kdump and reboot the system.
Actual results:
MCA handler for previous kernel is invoked on the kdump kernel.
=> panic, hang etc. (unexpected)Proposed fix:
To avoid entering MCA handler from early stage of new kernel,
unregister the entry point from SAL before leave from current
kernel. Then SAL will make all MCAs to warmboot safely, without
invoking OS_MCA.Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto

kdump/kexec kernel
Summary:
Asserting INIT on the beginning of kdump/kexec kernel will result
in unexpected behavior because INIT handler for previous kernel is
invoked on new kernel.Description:
In panic situation, we can receive INIT while kernel transition,
i.e. from beginning of panic to bootstrap of kdump kernel.
Since we initialize registers on leave from current kernel, no
longer monarch/slave handlers of current kernel in virtual mode are
called safely. (In fact system goes hang as far as I confirmed)How to Reproduce:
Start kdump
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Then assert INIT while kdump kernel is booting, before new INIT
handler for kdump kernel is registered.Expected(Desirable) result:
kdump kernel boots without any problem, crashdump retrieved
Actual result:
INIT handler for previous kernel is invoked on kdump kernel
=> panic, hang etc. (unexpected)Proposed fix:
We can unregister these init handlers from SAL before jumping into
new kernel, however then the INIT will fallback to default behavior,
result in warmboot by SAL (according to the SAL specification) and
we cannot retrieve the crashdump.Therefore this patch introduces a NOP init handler and register it
to SAL before leave from current kernel, to start kdump safely by
preventing INITs from entering virtual mode and resulting in warmboot.On the other hand, in case of kexec that not for kdump, it also
has same problem with INIT while kernel transition.
This patch handles this case differently, because for kexec
unregistering handlers will be preferred than registering NOP
handler, since the situation "no handlers registered" is usual
state for kernel's entry.Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto

Summary:
INIT asserted on kdump kernel invokes INIT handler not only on a
cpu that running on the kdump kernel, but also BSP of the panicked
kernel, because the (badly) frozen BSP can be thawed by INIT.Description:
The kdump_cpu_freeze() is called on cpus except one that initiates
panic and/or kdump, to stop/offline the cpu (on ia64, it means we
pass control of cpus to SAL, or put them in spinloop). Note that
CPU0(BSP) always go to spinloop, so if panic was happened on an AP,
there are at least 2cpus (= the AP and BSP) which not back to SAL.On the spinning cpus, interrupts are disabled (rsm psr.i), but INIT
is still interruptible because psr.mc for mask them is not set unless
kdump_cpu_freeze() is not called from MCA/INIT context.Therefore, assume that a panic was happened on an AP, kdump was
invoked, new INIT handlers for kdump kernel was registered and then
an INIT is asserted. From the viewpoint of SAL, there are 2 online
cpus, so INIT will be delivered to both of them. It likely means
that not only the AP (= a cpu executing kdump) enters INIT handler
which is newly registered, but also BSP (= another cpu spinning in
panicked kernel) enters the same INIT handler. Of course setting of
registers in BSP are still old (for panicked kernel), so what happen
with running handler with wrong setting will be extremely unexpected.
I believe this is not desirable behavior.How to Reproduce:
Start kdump on one of APs (e.g. cpu1)
# taskset 0x2 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Then assert INIT after kdump kernel is booted, after new INIT handler
for kdump kernel is registered.Expected results:
An INIT handler is invoked only on the AP.
Actual results:
An INIT handler is invoked on the AP and BSP.
Sample of results:
I got following console log by asserting INIT after prompt "root:/>".
It seems that two monarchs appeared by one INIT, and one panicked at
last. And it also seems that the panicked one supposed there were
4 online cpus and no one did rendezvous::

To avoid this problem, this patch inserts ia64_set_psr_mc() to mask
INIT on cpus going to be frozen. This masking have no effect if the
kdump_cpu_freeze() is called from INIT handler when kdump_on_init == 1,
because psr.mc is already turned on to 1 before entering OS_INIT.

this patch.Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto

Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent. This
replaces the parent's session keyring. Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again. Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership. However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.This can be tested with the following program:
#include
#include
#include#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT 18
#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
key_serial_t keyring, key;
long ret;keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
OSERROR(key, "add_key");ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");return 0;
}Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:

Fix ia64 build setup_per_cpu_areas() redifinition issue in UP
configuration. When compiling ia64 kernel in UP configuration, the
following compilation errors are reported:arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c:860: error: redefinition of 'setup_per_cpu_areas'
include/linux/percpu.h:185: error: previous definition of 'setup_per_cpu_areas' was hereThe patch fixes the issue in arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPTThis will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
(which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
considerable differences. This led to linker script for each arch
implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
tedious and adding new entries error-prone.This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro. As ld
uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64,
alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390. Michal Simek tested microblaze.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Pull linus#master to merge PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES and alpha build fix
changes. As alpha in percpu tree uses 'weak' attribute instead of
inline assembly, there's no need for __used attribute.Conflicts:

perfmon.c has a dubious cast directly from "int" to "void *". Add
an intermediate cast to "long" to keep gcc happy.salinfo.c uses "down_trylock()" in a highly creative way (explained
in the comments in the file) ... but it does kick out this warning:arch/ia64/kernel/salinfo.c:195: warning: ignoring return value of 'down_trylock'
which people occasionally try to "fix" in ways that do not work. Use some
casts to keep gcc quiet.Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich
