1cc99544dd x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops handling
Impact: add oops-recursion check to 32-bit

Unify the oops state-machine, to the 64-bit version. It is
slightly more careful in that it does a recursion check
in oops_begin(), and is thus more likely to show the relevant
oops.

It also means that 32-bit will print one more line at the
end of pagefault triggered oopses:

 	printk(KERN_EMERG "CR2: %016lx\n", address);

Which is generally good information to be seen in partial-dump
digital-camera jpegs ;-)

The downside is the somewhat more complex critical path. Both
variants have been tested well meanwhile by kernel developers
crashing their boxes so i dont think this is a practical worry.

This removes 3 ugly #ifdefs from no_context() and makes the
function a lot nicer read.

8f7661496c x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops printing
Impact: refine/extend page fault related oops printing on 64-bit

 - honor the pause_on_oops logic on 64-bit too
 - print out NX fault warnings on 64-bit as well
 - factor out the NX fault message to make it git-greppable and readable

Note that this means that we do the PF_INSTR check on 32-bit non-PAE
as well where it should not occur ... normally. Cannot hurt.

f2f13a8535 x86, mm: fault.c, reorder functions
Impact: cleanup

Avoid a couple more #ifdefs by moving fundamentally non-unifiable
functions into a single #ifdef 32-bit / #else / #endif block in
fault.c: vmalloc*(), dump_pagetable(), check_vm8086_mode().

b18018126f x86, mm, kprobes: fault.c, simplify notify_page_fault()
Impact: cleanup

Remove an #ifdef from notify_page_fault(). The function still
compiles to nothing in the !CONFIG_KPROBES case.

Introduce kprobes_built_in() and kprobe_fault_handler() helpers

Impact: cleanup

Remove an #ifdef from kmmio_fault() - we can do this by
providing default implementations for is_kmmio_active()
and kmmio_handler(). The compiler optimizes it all away
in the !CONFIG_MMIOTRACE case.

Also, while at it, clean up mmiotrace.h a bit:

 - standard header guards
 - standard vertical spaces for structure definitions

121d5d0a7e x86, mm: fault.c, enable PF_RSVD checks on 32-bit too
Impact: improve page fault handling robustness

The 'PF_RSVD' flag (bit 3) of the page-fault error_code is a
relatively recent addition to x86 CPUs, so the 32-bit do_fault()
implementation never had it. This flag gets set when the CPU
detects nonzero values in any reserved bits of the page directory
entries.

Extend the existing 64-bit check for PF_RSVD in do_page_fault()
to 32-bit too. If we detect such a fault then we print a more
informative oops and the pagetables.

This unifies the code some more, removes an ugly #ifdef and improves
the 32-bit page fault code robustness a bit. It slightly increases
the 32-bit kernel text size.

 - tidy up the include file section
 - eliminate unnecessary includes
 - introduce show_signal_msg() to clean up code flow

nor any functionality difference.

7a5714e018 x86, pat: add large-PAT check to split_large_page()
Impact: future-proof the split_large_page() function

Linus noticed that split_large_page() is not safe wrt. the
PAT bit: it is bit 12 on the 1GB and 2MB page table level
(_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE), and it is bit 7 on the 4K page
table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT).

Currently it is not a problem because we never set
_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE on any of the large-page mappings - but
should this happen in the future the split_large_page() would
silently lift bit 12 into the lowlevel 4K pte and would start
corrupting the physical page frame offset. Not fun.

So add a debug warning, to make sure if something ever sets
the PAT bit then this function gets updated too.

3c3e5694ad x86: check PMD in spurious_fault handler
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on bad PMD permissions

If the PMD does not have the correct permissions for a page access,
but the PTE does, the spurious fault handler will mistake the fault
as a lazy TLB transaction. This will result in an infinite loop of:

 fault -> spurious_fault check (pass) -> return to code -> fault

This patch adds a check and a warn on if the PTE passes the permissions
but the PMD does not.

07a66d7c53 x86: use the right protections for split-up pagetables
Steven Rostedt found a bug in where in his modified kernel
ftrace was unable to modify the kernel text, due to the PMD
itself having been marked read-only as well in
split_large_page().

The fix, suggested by Linus, is to not try to 'clone' the
reference protection of a huge-page, but to use the standard
(and permissive) page protection bits of KERNPG_TABLE.

The 'cloning' makes sense for the ptes but it's a confused and
incorrect concept at the page table level - because the
pagetable entry is a set of all ptes and hence cannot
'clone' any single protection attribute - the ptes can be any
mixture of protections.

With the permissive KERNPG_TABLE, even if the pte protections
get changed after this point (due to ftrace doing code-patching
or other similar activities like kprobes), the resulting combined
protections will still be correct and the pte's restrictive
(or permissive) protections will control it.

Also update the comment.

This bug was there for a long time but has not caused visible
problems before as it needs a rather large read-only area to
trigger. Steve possibly hacked his kernel with some really
large arrays or so. Anyway, the bug is definitely worth fixing.

[ Huang Ying also experienced problems in this area when writing
  the EFI code, but the real bug in split_large_page() was not
  realized back then. ]

b79109c3bb x86, mce: separate correct machine check poller and fatal exception handler
Impact: cleanup, performance enhancement

The machine check poller is diverging more and more from the fatal
exception handler. Instead of adding more special cases separate the code
paths completely. The corrected poll path is actually quite simple,
and this doesn't result in much code duplication.

This makes both handlers much easier to read and results in
cleaner code flow.  The exception handler now only needs to care
about uncorrected errors, which also simplifies the handling of multiple
errors. The corrected poller also now always runs in standard interrupt
context and does not need to do anything special to handle NMI context.

Minor behaviour changes:
- MCG status is now not cleared on polling.
- Only the banks which had corrected errors get cleared on polling
- The exception handler only clears banks with errors now

v2: Forward port to new patch order. Add "uc" argument.

0d7482e3d7 x86, mce: implement dynamic machine check banks support
Impact: cleanup; making code future proof; memory saving on small systems

This patch replaces the hardcoded max number of machine check banks with 
dynamic allocation depending on what the CPU reports. The sysfs
data structures and the banks array are dynamically allocated.

There is still a hard bank limit (128) because the mcelog protocol uses
banks >= 128 as pseudo banks to escape other events. But we expect
that 128 banks is beyond any reasonable CPU for now.

This supersedes an earlier patch by Venki, but it solves the problem
more completely by making the limit fully dynamic (up to the 128
boundary).

This saves some memory on machines with less than 6 banks because
they won't need sysdevs for unused ones and also allows to 
use sysfs to control these banks on possible future CPUs with
more than 6 banks.

This is an updated patch addressing Venki's comments.  I also added in
another patch from Thomas which fixed the error allocation path (that
patch was previously separated)

Once I knew this is what was happening, I added some annotations:

	if (unlikely(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page))) {
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: Bogus zones: "
		       "start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n",
		       start_page, end_page, zone);
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_zone[%p] end_zone[%p]\n",
		       page_zone(start_page), page_zone(end_page));
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_pfn[0x%lx] end_pfn[0x%lx]\n",
		       page_to_pfn(start_page), page_to_pfn(end_page));
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_nid[%d] end_nid[%d]\n",
		       page_to_nid(start_page), page_to_nid(end_page));
 ...

And here's what I got:

	move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00]
	move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00]
	move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff]
	move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0]

So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers
the problem.

This patch:

Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include
files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used.
 I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy.

This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h

After this,
  if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
     -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h
  else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
     -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c
  else
     -> per-arch back end function will be called.

ef41df4344 x86, mce: fix a race condition in mce_read()
Impact: bugfix

Considering the situation as follow:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
R                   W1                  W2                  W3

                    (working on entry 1,
                    finished == 0)

mcelog.next = 0
                                        mcelog.next++ (1)
                                        (working on entry 0)
                                                           mcelog.next++ (2)
                                                           (working on entry 1)
                        <----------------- race ---------------->
                    (done on entry 1,
                    finished = 1)
                                                           (done on entry 1,
                                                           finished = 1)

To fix the race condition, a cmpxchg loop is added to mce_read() to
ensure no new MCE record can be added between mcelog.next reading and
mcelog.next = 0.

Impact: Lower priority bug fix

Offlined CPUs could still get machine checks, but the machine check handler
cannot handle them properly, leading to an unconditional crash. Disable

52d168e28b x86, mce: switch machine check polling to per CPU timer
Impact: Higher priority bug fix

The machine check poller runs a single timer and then broadcasted an
IPI to all CPUs to check them. This leads to unnecessary
synchronization between CPUs. The original CPU running the timer has
to wait potentially a long time for all other CPUs answering. This is
also real time unfriendly and in general inefficient.

This was especially a problem on systems with a lot of events where
the poller run with a higher frequency after processing some events.
There could be more and more CPU time wasted with this, to
the point of significantly slowing down machines.

The machine check polling is actually fully independent per CPU, so
there's no reason to not just do this all with per CPU timers.  This
patch implements that.

Also switch the poller also to use standard timers instead of work
queues. It was using work queues to be able to execute a user program
on a event, but mce_notify_user() handles this case now with a
separate callback. So instead always run the poll code in in a
standard per CPU timer, which means that in the common case of not
having to execute a trigger there will be less overhead.

This allows to clean up the initialization significantly, because
standard timers are already up when machine checks get init'ed.  No
multiple initialization functions.

Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for some help.

9bd9840580 x86, mce: always use separate work queue to run trigger
Impact: Needed for bug fix in next patch

This relaxes the requirement that mce_notify_user has to run in process
context. Useful for future changes, but also leads to cleaner
behaviour now. Now instead mce_notify_user can be called directly
from interrupt (but not NMI) context.

The work queue only uses a single global work struct, which can be done safely
because it is always free to reuse before the trigger function is executed.
This way no events can be lost.

123aa76ec0 x86, mce: don't disable machine checks during code patching
Impact: low priority bug fix

This removes part of a a patch I added myself some time ago. After some
consideration the patch was a bad idea. In particular it stopped machine check
exceptions during code patching.

To quote the comment:

        * MCEs only happen when something got corrupted and in this
        * case we must do something about the corruption.
        * Ignoring it is worse than a unlikely patching race.
        * Also machine checks tend to be broadcast and if one CPU
        * goes into machine check the others follow quickly, so we don't
        * expect a machine check to cause undue problems during to code
        * patching.

So undo the machine check related parts of
8f4e956b31 NMIs are still disabled.

This only removes code, the only additions are a new comment.

973a2dd1d5 x86, mce: disable machine checks on suspend
Impact: Bug fix

During suspend it is not reliable to process machine check
exceptions, because CPUs disappear but can still get machine check
broadcasts.  Also the system is slightly more likely to
machine check them, but the handler is typically not a position
to handle them in a meaningfull way.

So disable them during suspend and enable them during resume.

Also make sure they are always disabled on hot-unplugged CPUs.

This new code assumes that suspend always hotunplugs all
non BP CPUs.

v2: Remove the WARN_ONs Thomas objected to.

This fixes a long standing bug in the machine check code. On resume the
boot CPU wouldn't get its vendor specific state like thermal handling
reinitialized. This means the boot cpu wouldn't ever get any thermal
events reported again.
