2012-02-14ARM: etm: Power down etm(s) when tracing is not enabledArve Hjønnevåg
Without this change a saw an 18% increase in idle power consumption on one deivce when trace support is compiled into the kernel. Now I see the same increase only when tracing. Change-Id: I21bb5ecf1b7d29ce3790ceeb5323409cc22d5a3b Signed-off-by: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com>
2012-02-14ARM: etm: Support multiple ETMs/PTMs.Arve Hjønnevåg
If more than one ETM or PTM are present, configure all of them and enable the formatter in the ETB. This allows tracing on dual core systems (e.g. omap4). Change-Id: I028657d5cf2bee1b23f193d4387b607953b35888 Signed-off-by: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com>
2012-02-14ARM: etm: Return the entire trace buffer if it is empty after resetArve Hjønnevåg
On some SOCs the read and write pointer are reset when the chip resets, but the trace buffer content is preserved. If the status bits indicates that the buffer is empty and we have never started tracing, assume the buffer is full instead. This can be useful if the system rebooted from a watchdog reset.

2012-02-14ARM: etm: Add some missing locks and error checksArve Hjønnevåg
It is not safe to call etm_lock or etb_lock without holding the mutex since another thread may also have unlocked the registers. Also add some missing checks for valid etb_regs in the etm sysfs entries. Change-Id: I939f76a6ea7546a8fc0d4ddafa2fd2b6f38103bb Signed-off-by: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com>
2012-02-14ARM: etm: Configure data tracingArve Hjønnevåg
The old code enabled data tracing, but did not configure the range. We now configure it to trace all data addresses by default, and add a trace_data_range attribute to change the range or disable data tracing.

2012-02-14ARM: etm: Allow range selectionArve Hjønnevåg

2012-02-14ARM: etm: Don't try to clear the buffer full status after reading the bufferArve Hjønnevåg
If the write address was at the end of the buffer, toggling the trace capture bit would set the RAM-full status instead of clearing it, and if any of the stop bits in the formatter is set toggling the trace capture bit may not do anything. Instead use the read position to find out if the data has already been returned. This also fixes the read function so it works when the trace buffer is larger than the buffer passed in from user space. The old version would reset the trace buffer pointers after every read, so the second call to read would always return 0.

2012-02-14ARM: allow the kernel text section to be made read-onlyColin Cross
This patch implements CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, allowing the kernel text section to be marked read-only in order to catch bugs that write over the kernel. This requires mapping the kernel code, plus up to 4MB, using pages instead of sections, which can increase TLB pressure. The kernel is normally mapped using 1MB section entries in the first level page table, and the first level page table is copied into every mm. This prevents marking the kernel text read-only, because the 1MB section entries are too large granularity to separate the init section, which is reused as read-write memory after init, and the kernel text section. Also, the top level page table for every process would need to be updated, which is not possible to do safely and efficiently on SMP. To solve both problems, allow alloc_init_pte to overwrite an existing section entry with a fully-populated second level page table. When CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, all the section entries that overlap the kernel text section will be replaced with page mappings. The kernel always uses a pair of 2MB-aligned 1MB sections, so up to 2MB of memory before and after the kernel may end up page mapped. When the top level page tables are copied into each process the second level page tables are not copied, leaving a single second level page table that will affect all processes on all cpus. To mark a page read-only, the second level page table is located using the pointer in the first level page table for the current process, and the supervisor RO bit is flipped atomically. Once all pages have been updated, all TLBs are flushed to ensure the changes are visible on all cpus. If CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is not set, the kernel will be mapped using the normal 1MB section entries. Change-Id: I94fae337f882c2e123abaf8e1082c29cd5d483c6 Signed-off-by: Colin Cross <ccross@android.com>

2012-02-14[ARM] Do not call flush_cache_user_range with mmap_sem heldDima Zavin
We can't be holding the mmap_sem while calling flush_cache_user_range because the flush can fault. If we fault on a user address, the page fault handler will try to take mmap_sem again. Since both places acquire the read lock, most of the time it succeeds. However, if another thread tries to acquire the write lock on the mmap_sem (e.g. mmap) in between the call to flush_cache_user_range and the fault, the down_read in do_page_fault will deadlock. Also, since we really can't be holding the mmap_sem while calling flush_cache_user_range AND vma is actually unused by the flush itself, get rid of vma as an argument.

2012-02-02ARM: 7302/1: Add TLB flushing for both entries in a PMDCatalin Marinas
Linux uses two PMD entries for a PTE with the classic page table format, covering 2MB range. However, the __pte_free_tlb() function only adds a single TLB flush corresponding to 1MB range covering 'addr'. On Cortex-A15, level 1 entries can be cached by the TLB independently of the level 2 entries and without additional flushing a PMD entry would be left pointing at the wrong PTE. The patch limits the TLB flushing range to two 4KB pages around the 1MB boundary within PMD.

2012-02-02ARM: 7307/1: vfp: fix ptrace regset modification raceDave Martin
In a preemptible kernel, vfp_set() can be preempted, causing the hardware VFP context to be switched while the thread vfp state is being read and modified. This leads to a race condition which can cause the thread vfp state to become corrupted if lazy VFP context save occurs due to preemption in between the time thread->vfpstate is read and the time the modified state is written back. This may occur if preemption occurs during the execution of a ptrace() call which modifies the VFP register state of a thread. Such instances should be very rare in most realistic scenarios -- none has been reported, so far as I am aware. Only uniprocessor systems should be affected, since VFP context save is not currently lazy in SMP kernels. The problem was introduced by my earlier patch migrating to use regsets to implement ptrace. This patch does a vfp_sync_hwstate() before reading thread->vfpstate, to make sure that the thread's VFP state is not live in the hardware registers while the registers are modified.

This involves copying from the user stack into the current thread's vfp_hard_struct and then flushing the new data out to the hardware registers. This is problematic when using a preemptible kernel because we could be context switched whilst updating the vfp_hard_struct. If the current thread has made use of VFP since the last context switch, the VFP notifier will copy from the hardware registers into the vfp_hard_struct, overwriting any data that had been partially copied by the signal code. Disabling preemption across copy_from_user calls is a terrible idea, so instead we move the VFP thread flush *before* we update the vfp_hard_struct. Since the flushing is performed lazily, this has the effect of disabling VFP and clearing the CPU's VFP state pointer, therefore preventing the thread from being updated with stale data on the next context switch.

2012-02-02Revert "ARM: 7304/1: ioremap: fix boundary check when reusing static mapping"Russell King
This reverts commit 3c424f359898aff48c3d5bed608ac706f8a528c3. Joachim Eastwood reports: | "ARM: 7304/1: ioremap: fix boundary check when reusing static mapping" | Commit: 3c424f359898aff48c3d5bed608ac706f8a528c3 in Linus master | | Breaks booting on my custom AT91RM9200 board. | There isn't any error messages or anything that indicates what goes | wrong it just stops after; Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the | kernel. | | Reverting it makes my board boot again. and further debugging reveals: ioremap: pfn=fffff phys=fffff000 offset=400 size=1000 ioremap: area c3ffdfc0: phys_addr=200000 pfn=200 size=4000 ioremap: found: addr fef74000 => fed73000 => fed73400 Clearly, an area for pfn 0x200, 16K can't ever satisfy a request for pfn 0xfffff. This happens because the changed if statement becomes: if (0x00200 > 0xfffff || 0xfffff000 + 0x400 + 0x1000-1 > 0x00200000 + 0x4000-1) and therefore: if (0x00200 > 0xfffff || 0x000003ff > 0x00203fff) The if condition fails, and so we _believe_ that the SRAM mapping fits our request. Clearly that's totally bogus. Moreover, the original premise of the 'fix' patch was wrong: | The condition checking boundaries of the requested and existing | mappings didn't take in-page offset into consideration though, | which lead to obscure and hard to debug problems when requested | mapping crossed end of the static one. as the code immediately above this loop does: size = PAGE_ALIGN(offset + size); so 'size' already contains the requested offset into the page. So, revert the broken 'fix'. Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>

2012-02-01KVM: x86: fix missing checks in syscall emulationStephan Bärwolf
On hosts without this patch, 32bit guests will crash (and 64bit guests may behave in a wrong way) for example by simply executing following nasm-demo-application: [bits 32] global _start SECTION .text _start: syscall (I tested it with winxp and linux - both always crashed) Disassembly of section .text: 00000000 <_start>: 0: 0f 05 syscall The reason seems a missing "invalid opcode"-trap (int6) for the syscall opcode "0f05", which is not available on Intel CPUs within non-longmodes, as also on some AMD CPUs within legacy-mode. (depending on CPU vendor, MSR_EFER and cpuid) Because previous mentioned OSs may not engage corresponding syscall target-registers (STAR, LSTAR, CSTAR), they remain NULL and (non trapping) syscalls are leading to multiple faults and finally crashs. Depending on the architecture (AMD or Intel) pretended by guests, various checks according to vendor's documentation are implemented to overcome the current issue and behave like the CPUs physical counterparts.
