16 years agox86: code clarification patch to Kprobes arch code
Quentin Barnes [Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:32:32 +0000 (13:32 +0100)]
x86: code clarification patch to Kprobes arch code

When developing the Kprobes arch code for ARM, I ran across some code
found in x86 and s390 Kprobes arch code which I didn't consider as
good as it could be.

Once I figured out what the code was doing, I changed the code
for ARM Kprobes to work the way I felt was more appropriate.
I've tested the code this way in ARM for about a year and would
like to push the same change to the other affected architectures.

The code in question is in kprobe_exceptions_notify() which
does:
====
          /* kprobe_running() needs smp_processor_id() */
          preempt_disable();
          if (kprobe_running() &&
              kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr))
                  ret = NOTIFY_STOP;
          preempt_enable();
====

For the moment, ignore the code having the preempt_disable()/
preempt_enable() pair in it.

The problem is that kprobe_running() needs to call smp_processor_id()
which will assert if preemption is enabled.  That sanity check by
smp_processor_id() makes perfect sense since calling it with preemption
enabled would return an unreliable result.

But the function kprobe_exceptions_notify() can be called from a
context where preemption could be enabled.  If that happens, the
assertion in smp_processor_id() happens and we're dead.  So what
the original author did (speculation on my part!) is put in the
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair to simply defeat the check.

Once I figured out what was going on, I considered this an
inappropriate approach.  If kprobe_exceptions_notify() is called
from a preemptible context, we can't be in a kprobe processing
context at that time anyways since kprobes requires preemption to
already be disabled, so just check for preemption enabled, and if
so, blow out before ever calling kprobe_running().  I wrote the ARM
kprobe code like this:
====
          /* To be potentially processing a kprobe fault and to
           * trust the result from kprobe_running(), we have
           * be non-preemptible. */
          if (!preemptible() && kprobe_running() &&
              kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr))
                  ret = NOTIFY_STOP;
====

The above code has been working fine for ARM Kprobes for a year.
So I changed the x86 code (2.6.24-rc6) to be the same way and ran
the Systemtap tests on that kernel.  As on ARM, Systemtap on x86
comes up with the same test results either way, so it's a neutral
external functional change (as expected).

This issue has been discussed previously on linux-arm-kernel and the
Systemtap mailing lists.  Pointers to the by base for the two
discussions:

x86: unification of arch/x86/Makefiles

Unify the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles.
The unification was simplest to do in one step although the
readability of the patch suffers a bit from this.

Noteworthy remarks on the unification:
- The 64 bit cpu stuff should be moved to Makefile_32.cpu
  but I did not feel confident doing it due to subtle differences
- The use of cflags-y were abandoned since we have seen one bug where
  we did wrong due to missing assignment to KBUILD_CFLAGS.
  The cc-option marcro uses KBUILD_CFLAGS.
- The "No need to remake" line are deleted. It caused "make -B" to fail
- For 64 bit the sub architecture stuff is not used.
- The way head64.o is specified could be nicer - but it awaits the
  introduction of head32.o (which seems like a win to introduce for readability)
- Patch is checkpatch clean

Patch is tested by doing a defconfig build for i386 and x86_64 and in both
cases monitoring that only relevant files were recompiled when applying
the patch.

PCI: remove default PCI expansion ROM memory allocation

increasing number of PCI slots in large multi-node systems.  The kernel
currently attempts by default to allocate memory for all PCI expansion
ROMs so there has also been an increasing number of PCI memory
allocation failures seen on these systems.  This occurs because the BIOS
either (1) provides insufficient PCI memory resource for all the
expansion ROMs or (2) provides adequate PCI memory resource for
expansion ROMs but provides the space in kernel unexpected BIOS assigned
P2P non-prefetch windows.

The resulting PCI memory allocation failures may be benign when related
to memory requests for expansion ROMs themselves but in some cases they
can occur when attempting to allocate space for more critical BARs.
This can happen when a successful expansion ROM allocation request
consumes memory resource that was intended for a non-ROM BAR.  We have
seen this happen during PCI hotplug of an adapter that contains a P2P
bridge where successful memory allocation for an expansion ROM BAR on
device behind the bridge consumed memory that was intended for a non-ROM
BAR on the P2P bridge.  In all cases the allocation failure messages can
be very confusing for users.

This patch addresses the issue by changing the kernel default behavior
so that expansion ROM memory allocations are no longer attempted by
default when the BIOS has not assigned a specific address range to the
expansion ROM BAR.  This was done by changing the 'pci=rom' boot option
behavior for BIOS unassigned expansion ROMs to actually match it's
current kernel-parameters.txt description which already implies "off" by
default. Behavior for BIOS assigned expansion ROMs implemented in
pcibios_assign_resources() [arch/x86/pci/i386.c] is unchanged.

x86: fix DMI out of memory problems

People with HP Desktops (including me) encounter couple of DMI errors
during boot - dmi_save_oem_strings_devices: out of memory and
dmi_string: out of memory.

On some HP desktops the DMI data include OEM strings (type 11) out of
which only few are meaningful and most other are empty. DMI code
religiously creates copies of these 27 strings (65 bytes each in my
case) and goes OOM in dmi_string().

If DMI_MAX_DATA is bumped up a little then it goes and fails in
dmi_save_oem_strings while allocating dmi_devices of sizeof(struct
dmi_device) corresponding to these strings.

On x86_64 since we cannot use alloc_bootmem this early, the code uses a
static array of 2048 bytes (DMI_MAX_DATA) for allocating the memory DMI
needs. It does not survive the creation of empty strings and devices.

Fix this by detecting and not newly allocating empty strings and instead
using a one statically defined dmi_empty_string.

Also do not create a new struct dmi_device for each empty string - use
one statically define dmi_device with .name=dmi_empty_string and add
that to the dmi_devices list.

On x64 this should stop the OOM with same current size of DMI_MAX_DATA
and on x86 this should save a good amount of (27*65 bytes +
27*sizeof(struct dmi_device) bootmem.

The new header <linux/regset.h> defines the types struct user_regset and
struct user_regset_view, with some associated declarations.  This new set
of interfaces will become the standard way for arch code to expose

dumps, ptrace, and any other user-mode debugging facilities that might come
along in the future.

For existing arch code to adapt to the user_regset interfaces, each arch
can work from the code it already has to support core files and ptrace.
The formats you want for user_regset are the core file formats.  The only
wrinkle in adapting old ptrace implementation code as user_regset get and
set functions is that these functions can be called on current as well as
on another task_struct that is stopped and switched out as for ptrace.
For some kinds of machine state, you may have to load it directly from CPU
registers or otherwise differently for current than for another thread.
(Your core dump support already handles this in elf_core_copy_regs for
current and elf_core_copy_task_regs for other tasks, so just check there.)
The set function should also be made to work on current in case that
entails some special cases, though this was never required before for
ptrace.  Adding this flexibility covers the arch needs to open the door to
more sophisticated new debugging facilities that don't always need to
context-switch to do every little thing.

The copyin/copyout helper functions (in a later patch) relieve the arch
code of most of the cumbersome details of the flexible get/set interfaces.
