      x86/efi: earlyprintk=efi,keep fix · 5f35eb0e
      Dave Young authored 
      
earlyprintk=efi,keep will cause kernel hangs while freeing initmem like
below:

  VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 254:2.
  devtmpfs: mounted
  Freeing unused kernel memory: 880K (ffffffff817d4000 - ffffffff818b0000)

It is caused by efi earlyprintk use __init function which will be freed
later.  Such as early_efi_write is marked as __init, also it will use
early_ioremap which is init function as well.

To fix this issue, I added early initcall early_efi_map_fb which maps
the whole efi fb for later use. OTOH, adding a wrapper function
early_efi_map which calls early_ioremap before ioremap is available.

With this patch applied efi boot ok with earlyprintk=efi,keep console=efi

      genirq: x86: Ensure that dynamic irq allocation does not conflict · 62a08ae2
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      
On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which
are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those
interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation
like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of
the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for
that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a
completely different configuration so hell breaks lose.

Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs,
except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face
for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the
GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose
such a detail to a driver.

To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement
to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations.

Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is
the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations
happen above.

That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects
the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and
htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate
issue.

      KVM: x86: Check for host supported fields in shadow vmcs · fe2b201b
      Bandan Das authored 
      
We track shadow vmcs fields through two static lists,
one for read only and another for r/w fields. However, with
addition of new vmcs fields, not all fields may be supported on
all hosts. If so, copy_vmcs12_to_shadow() trying to vmwrite on
unsupported hosts will result in a vmwrite error. For example, commit
36be0b9d introduced GUEST_BNDCFGS, which is not supported
by all processors. Filter out host unsupported fields before
letting guests use shadow vmcs

      x86/vsmp: Fix irq routing · 39025ba3
      Oren Twaig authored 
      
Correct IRQ routing in case a vSMP box is detected
but the  Interrupt Routing Comply (IRC) value is set to
"comply", which leads to incorrect IRQ routing.

Before the patch:

When a vSMP box was detected and IRC was set to "comply",
users (and the kernel) couldn't effectively set the
destination of the IRQs. This is because the hook inside
vsmp_64.c always setup all CPUs as the IRQ destination using
cpumask_setall() as the return value for IRQ allocation mask.
Later, this "overrided" mask caused the kernel to set the IRQ
destination to the lowest online CPU in the mask (CPU0 usually).

After the patch:

When the IRC is set to "comply", users (and the kernel) can control
the destination of the IRQs as we will not be changing the
default "apic->vector_allocation_domain".

      kprobes/x86: Fix page-fault handling logic · 6381c24c
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      
Current kprobes in-kernel page fault handler doesn't
expect that its single-stepping can be interrupted by
an NMI handler which may cause a page fault(e.g. perf
with callback tracing).

In that case, the page-fault handled by kprobes and it
misunderstands the page-fault has been caused by the
single-stepping code and tries to recover IP address
to probed address.

But the truth is the page-fault has been caused by the
NMI handler, and do_page_fault failes to handle real
page fault because the IP address is modified and
causes Kernel BUGs like below.

 ----
 [ 2264.726905] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
 [ 2264.727190] IP: [<ffffffff813c46e0>] copy_user_generic_string+0x0/0x40

To handle this correctly, I fixed the kprobes fault
handler to ensure the faulted ip address is its own
single-step buffer instead of checking current kprobe
state.

      x86/mce: Fix CMCI preemption bugs · ea431643
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      
The following commit:

  27f6c573 ("x86, CMCI: Add proper detection of end of CMCI storms")

Added two preemption bugs:

 - machine_check_poll() does a get_cpu_var() without a matching
   put_cpu_var(), which causes preemption imbalance and crashes upon
   bootup.

 - it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
   disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.

To fix these bugs fix the imbalance and change
cmci_discover_lock to a regular spinlock.

      x86: Remove the PCI reboot method from the default chain · 5be44a6f
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      
Steve reported a reboot hang and bisected it back to this commit:

  a4f1987e x86, reboot: Add EFI and CF9 reboot methods into the default list

He heroically tested all reboot methods and found the following:

  reboot=t       # triple fault                  ok
  reboot=k       # keyboard ctrl                 FAIL
  reboot=b       # BIOS                          ok
  reboot=a       # ACPI                          FAIL
  reboot=e       # EFI                           FAIL   [system has no EFI]
  reboot=p       # PCI 0xcf9                     FAIL

And I think it's pretty obvious that we should only try PCI 0xcf9 as a
last resort - if at all.

The other observation is that (on this box) we should never try
the PCI reboot method, but close with either the 'triple fault'
or the 'BIOS' (terminal!) reboot methods.

Thirdly, CF9_COND is a total misnomer - it should be something like
CF9_SAFE or CF9_CAREFUL, and 'CF9' should be 'CF9_FORCE' ...

So this patch fixes the worst problems:

 - it orders the actual reboot logic to follow the reboot ordering
   pattern - it was in a pretty random order before for no good
   reason.

 - it fixes the CF9 misnomers and uses BOOT_CF9_FORCE and
   BOOT_CF9_SAFE flags to make the code more obvious.

 - it tries the BIOS reboot method before the PCI reboot method.
   (Since 'BIOS' is a terminal reboot method resulting in a hang
    if it does not work, this is essentially equivalent to removing
    the PCI reboot method from the default reboot chain.)

 - just for the miraculous possibility of terminal (resulting
   in hang) reboot methods of triple fault or BIOS returning
   without having done their job, there's an ordering between
   them as well.

      x86/mm: sparse warning fix for early_memremap · 6b550f6f
      Dave Young authored 
      
This patch series takes the common bits from the x86 early ioremap
implementation and creates a generic implementation which may be used by
other architectures.  The early ioremap interfaces are intended for
situations where boot code needs to make temporary virtual mappings
before the normal ioremap interfaces are available.  Typically, this
means before paging_init() has run.

This patch (of 6):

There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below: void *a =
early_memremap(phys_addr, size);

early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the
return pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one.

For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch
do below two things:
1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap
2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap

From Boris:
  "Ingo told me yesterday, it makes sense too.  I'd guess we can try it.
   FWIW, all callers of early_memremap use the memory they get remapped
   as normal memory so we should be safe"
