* x86_64: support poll() on /dev/mcelogTim Hockin2007-07-211-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Background: /dev/mcelog is typically polled manually. This is less than optimal for situations where accurate accounting of MCEs is important. Calling poll() on /dev/mcelog does not work. Description: This patch adds support for poll() to /dev/mcelog. This results in immediate wakeup of user apps whenever the poller finds MCEs. Because the exception handler can not take any locks, it can not call the wakeup itself. Instead, it uses a thread_info flag (TIF_MCE_NOTIFY) which is caught at the next return from interrupt or exit from idle, calling the mce_user_notify() routine. This patch also disables the "fake panic" path of the mce_panic(), because it results in printk()s in the exception handler and crashy systems. This patch also does some small cleanup for essentially unused variables, and moves the user notification into the body of the poller, so it is only called once per poll, rather than once per CPU. Result: Applications can now poll() on /dev/mcelog. When an error is logged (whether through the poller or through an exception) the applications are woken up promptly. This should not affect any previous behaviors. If no MCEs are being logged, there is no overhead. Alternatives: I considered simply supporting poll() through the poller and not using TIF_MCE_NOTIFY at all. However, the time between an uncorrectable error happening and the user application being notified is *the*most* critical window for us. Many uncorrectable errors can be logged to the network if given a chance. I also considered doing the MCE poll directly from the idle notifier, but decided that was overkill. Testing: I used an error-injecting DIMM to create lots of correctable DRAM errors and verified that my user app is woken up in sync with the polling interval. I also used the northbridge to inject uncorrectable ECC errors, and verified (printk() to the rescue) that the notify routine is called and the user app does wake up. I built with PREEMPT on and off, and verified that my machine survives MCEs.

* [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Safely cleanup an irq after moving it.Eric W. Biederman2007-02-261-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem: After moving an interrupt when is it safe to teardown the data structures for receiving the interrupt at the old location? With a normal pci device it is possible to issue a read to a device to flush all posted writes. This does not work for the oldest ioapics because they are on a 3-wire apic bus which is a completely different data path. For some more modern ioapics when everything is using front side bus delivery you can flush interrupts by simply issuing a read to the ioapic. For other modern ioapics emperical testing has shown that this does not work. So it appears the only reliable way to know the last of the irqs from an ioapic have been received from before the ioapic was reprogrammed is to received the first irq from the ioapic from after it was reprogrammed. Once we know the last irq message has been received from an ioapic into a local apic we then need to know that irq message has been processed through the local apics. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinderJan Beulich2006-09-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore. This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16 unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame [AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

* [PATCH] x86: error_code is not safe for kprobesPrasanna S.P2006-09-261-12/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the entry.S:error_entry to .kprobes.text section, since code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_entry, that must be marked unsafe as well. This patch also moves all the ".previous.text" asm directives to ".previous" for kprobes section. AK: Following a similar i386 patch from Chuck Ebbert AK: Also merged Jeremy's fix in. +From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to do a .previous at the end of the function. Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for example .fixup, then the .previous ends up putting all subsequent code into .fixup. Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup). It's surprising this didn't cause more havok. The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests properly. A further cleanup would be to get rid of all .section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile. +From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well. The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same section. Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Move int 3 handler to debug stack and allow to increase it.Jan Beulich2006-01-111-4/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This - switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's %gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with the INT1 handler's [AK: this also allows setting a kprobe on the interrupt/exception entry points] - allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3 handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel- debugger-free kernel doesn't need it Signed-Off-By: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] x86_64: Remove unprotected iretJan Beulich2006-01-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Make sure no iret can fault without attached recovery code. Cannot happen in the normal case, but might be useful with kernel debuggers Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] x86_64: Support for AMD specific MCE Threshold.Jacob Shin2005-11-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MC4_MISC - DRAM Errors Threshold Register realized under AMD K8 Rev F. This register is used to count correctable and uncorrectable ECC errors that occur during DRAM read operations. The user may interface through sysfs files in order to change the threshold configuration. bank%d/error_count - reads current error count, write to clear. bank%d/interrupt_enable - set/clear interrupt enable. bank%d/threshold_limit - read/write the threshold limit. APIC vector 0xF9 in hw_irq.h. 5 software defined bank ids in mce.h. new apic.c function to setup threshold apic lvt. defaults to interrupt off, count enabled, and threshold limit max. sysfs interface created on /sys/devices/system/threshold. AK: added some ifdefs to make it compile on UP Signed-off-by: Jacob Shin <jacob.shin@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] x86-64: Fix CFI informationJan Beulich2005-09-121-57/+150
| | | | | | | | | | | | Being the foundation for reliable stack unwinding, this fixes CFI unwind annotations in many low-level x86_64 routines, plus a config option (available to all architectures, and also present in the previously sent patch adding such annotations to i386 code) to enable them separatly rather than only along with adding full debug information.
