So we've had a fair few reports of fbcon handover breakage between
efi/vesafb and i915 surface recently, so I dedicated a couple of
days to finding the problem.Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer
message and that was all.So after much tracing with direct netconsole writes (printks
under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race.Thread A (driver load) Thread B (timer thread)
unbind_con_driver -> |
bind_con_driver -> |
vc->vc_sw->con_deinit -> |
fbcon_deinit -> |
console_lock() |
| |
| fbcon_flashcursor timer fires
| console_lock()
del_timer_sync
(BOOM)Of course because all of this is under the console lock,
we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active
console guess what we never see anything.Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms

Similar to x86/sparc/powerpc implementations except:
1) we implement an extremely efficient has_zero()/find_zero()
sequence with both prep_zero_mask() and create_zero_mask()
no-operations.
2) Our output from prep_zero_mask() differs in that only the
lowest eight bits are used to represent the zero bytes
nevertheless it can be safely ORed with other similar masks
from prep_zero_mask() and forms input to create_zero_mask(),
the two fundamental properties prep_zero_mask() must satisfy.Tests on EV67 and EV68 CPUs revealed that the generic code is
essentially as fast (to within 0.5% of CPU cycles) of the old
Alpha specific code for large quadword-aligned strings, despite
the 30% extra CPU instructions executed. In contrast, the
generic code for unaligned strings is substantially slower (by
more than a factor of 3) than the old Alpha specific code.Signed-off-by: Michael Cree

Some of the arguments to {g,s}etsockopt are passed in userland pointers.
If we try to use the 64bit entry point, we end up sometimes failing.For example, dhcpcd doesn't run in x32:
# dhcpcd eth0
dhcpcd[1979]: version 5.5.6 starting
dhcpcd[1979]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd[1979]: eth0: open_socket: Invalid argument
dhcpcd[1979]: eth0: send_raw_packet: Bad file descriptorThe code in particular is getting back EINVAL when doing:
struct sock_fprog pf;
setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, &pf, sizeof(pf));Diving into the kernel code, we can see:
include/linux/filter.h:
struct sock_fprog {
unsigned short len;
struct sock_filter __user *filter;
};net/core/sock.c:
case SO_ATTACH_FILTER:
ret = -EINVAL;
if (optlen == sizeof(struct sock_fprog)) {
struct sock_fprog fprog;ret = -EFAULT;
if (copy_from_user(&fprog, optval, sizeof(fprog)))
break;ret = sk_attach_filter(&fprog, sk);
}
break;arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl:
54 common setsockopt sys_setsockopt
55 common getsockopt sys_getsockoptSo for x64, sizeof(sock_fprog) is 16 bytes. For x86/x32, it's 8 bytes.
This comes down to the pointer being 32bit for x32, which means we need
to do structure size translation. But since x32 comes in directly to
sys_setsockopt, it doesn't get translated like x86.After changing the syscall table and rebuilding glibc with the new kernel
headers, dhcp runs fine in an x32 userland.Oddly, it seems like Linus noted the same thing during the initial port,
but I guess that was missed/lost along the way:
