* x86: use reserve_bootmem_generic() to reserve crashkernel memory on x86_64Bernhard Walle2008-07-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch uses reserve_bootmem_generic() instead of reserve_bootmem() to reserve the crashkernel memory on x86_64. That's necessary for NUMA machines, see 00212fef814612245ed0261cbac8426d0c9a31a5: [PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel. The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic". I checked to make sure that no other function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that had NUMA ifdef'ed out. I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off) in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

* x86: add flags parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic()Bernhard Walle2008-07-081-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic() like it already has been added in reserve_bootmem() with commit 72a7fe3967dbf86cb34e24fbf1d957fe24d2f246. It also changes all users to use BOOTMEM_DEFAULT, which doesn't effectively change the behaviour. Since the change is x86-specific, I don't think it's necessary to add a new API for migration. There are only 4 users of that function. The change is necessary for the next patch, using reserve_bootmem_generic() for crashkernel reservation.

Kernel doesn't panic when calling it at the first time. If just say because of nr_cpu_ids, that's not right. By checking the source code, I found that function do_boot_cpu is the culprit. Consider below call chain: _cpu_up=>__cpu_up=>smp_ops.cpu_up=>native_cpu_up=>do_boot_cpu. So do_boot_cpu is called in the end. In do_boot_cpu, if boot_error==true, cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_possible_map) is executed. So later on, when _cpu_up calls __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time to report CPU_UP_CANCELED, because this cpu is already cleared from cpu_possible_map, get_cpu_sysdev returns NULL. Many resources are related to cpu_possible_map, so it's better not to change it. Below patch against 2.6.26-rc7 fixes it by removing the bit clearing in cpu_possible_map.

The BUG shows EIP pointing to an rdtsc instruction in native_read_tsc(), invoked from native_sched_clock(). (This error occurs so early that not even the serial console can capture it.) A bisection showed that this bug first occurs in 2.6.26-rc3-git7, via commit 9ccc906c97e34fd91dc6aaf5b69b52d824386910: >x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstable > >tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from >the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace >tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock() >decision when to use TSC understandable. > >Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit. > >Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> The core reason for this bug is that native_sched_clock() gets called before tsc_init(). Before the commit above, tsc_32.c used a "tsc_enabled" variable which defaulted to 0 == disabled, and which only got enabled late in tsc_init(). Thus early calls to native_sched_clock() would skip the TSC and use jiffies instead. After the commit above, tsc_32.c uses a "tsc_disabled" variable which defaults to 0, meaning that the TSC is Ok to use. Early calls to native_sched_clock() now erroneously try to use the TSC on !cpu_has_tsc processors, leading to invalid opcode exceptions. My proposed fix is to initialise tsc_disabled to a "soft disabled" state distinct from the hard disabled state set up by the "notsc" kernel option. This fixes the native_sched_clock() problem. It also allows tsc_init() to be simplified: instead of setting tsc_disabled = 1 on every error return, we just set tsc_disabled = 0 once when all checks have succeeded. I've verified that this lets my 486 boot again. I've also verified that a Core2 machine still uses the TSC as clocksource after the patch.

Somehow (as described below) TS_USEDFPU is set but the fpu is not allocated or freed. Another possible FPU pre-emption issue with the sleazy FPU optimization which was benign before but not so anymore, with the dynamic FPU allocation patch. New task is getting exec'd and it is prempted at the below point. flush_thread() { ... /* * Forget coprocessor state.. */ clear_fpu(tsk); <----- Preemption point clear_used_math(); ... } Now when it context switches in again, as the used_math() is still set and fpu_counter can be > 5, we will do a math_state_restore() which sets the task's TS_USEDFPU. After it continues from the above preemption point it does clear_used_math() and much later free_thread_xstate(). Now, at the next context switch, it is quite possible that xstate is null, used_math() is not set and TS_USEDFPU is still set. This will trigger unlazy_fpu() causing kernel oops. Fix this by clearing tsk's fpu_counter before clearing task's fpu.

But really that should only be done in two cases: - when allocating memory in the lower 16 MB DMA zone. If there's no free memory there, waiting or OOM killing is of no use - when optimistically trying an allocation in the DMA32 zone when dma_mask < DMA_32BIT_MASK hoping that the allocation happens to fall within the limits of the dma_mask Also blindly adding __GFP_NORETRY to the the gfp variable might not be a good idea since we then also use it when calling dma_ops->alloc_coherent(). Clearing it might also not be a good idea, dma_alloc_coherent()'s caller might have set it on purpose. The gfp variable should not be clobbered.

It turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around the parport_pc bugs. I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the past, and now it have regressed. The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC when PNP is disabled. This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel on an older PCs.

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from. Too bad, lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace? The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess this is the case.

Add tsk_used_math() checks to prevent calling math_state_restore() which can sleep in the case of !tsk_used_math(). This prevents making a blocking call in __switch_to(). Apparently "fpu_counter > 5" check is not enough, as in some signal handling and fork/exec scenarios, fpu_counter > 5 and !tsk_used_math() is possible. It's a side effect though. This is the failing scenario: process 'A' in save_i387_ia32() just after clear_used_math() Got an interrupt and pre-empted out. At the next context switch to process 'A' again, kernel tries to restore the math state proactively and sees a fpu_counter > 0 and !tsk_used_math() This results in init_fpu() during the __switch_to()'s math_state_restore() And resulting in fpu corruption which will be saved/restored (save_i387_fxsave and restore_i387_fxsave) during the remaining part of the signal handling after the context switch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the TSC calibration fails then TSC is still used in sched_clock(). Disable it completely in that case. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org
| | * | x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstableThomas Gleixner2008-05-231-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock() decision when to use TSC understandable. Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
| | * | x86: fix setup of cyc2ns in tsc_64.cThomas Gleixner2008-05-231-2/+3
| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the TSC is calibrated against the PIT due to the nonavailability of PMTIMER/HPET or due to SMI interference then the setup of the per CPU cyc2ns variables is skipped. This is unlikely to happen but it would definitely render sched_clock() unusable. This was introduced with commit 53d517cdbaac704352b3d0c10fecb99e0b54572e x86: scale cyc_2_nsec according to CPU frequency Update the per CPU cyc2ns variables in all exit pathes of tsc_calibrate.
