x86/entry/32: Add and check a stack canary for the SYSENTER stack

2016-03-10T08:48:14+00:00

The first instruction of the SYSENTER entry runs on its own tiny stack. That stack can be used if a #DB or NMI is delivered before the SYSENTER prologue switches to a real stack. We have code in place to prevent us from overflowing the tiny stack. For added paranoia, add a canary to the stack and check it in do_debug() -- that way, if something goes wrong with the #DB logic, we'll eventually notice.

locking/x86: Use mb() around clflush()

2016-01-29T08:40:10+00:00

The following commit: f8e617f4582995f ("sched/idle/x86: Optimize unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs") adds memory barriers around clflush(), but this seems wrong for UP since barrier() has no effect on clflush(). We really want MFENCE, so switch to mb() instead. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

x86/mm, kasan: Silence KASAN warnings in get_wchan()

2015-10-20T09:04:19+00:00

get_wchan() is racy by design, it may access volatile stack of running task, thus it may access redzone in a stack frame and cause KASAN to warn about this. Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to silence these warnings.

x86/idle: Restore trace_cpu_idle to mwait_idle() calls

2015-08-20T19:37:45+00:00

Commit b253149b843f ("sched/idle/x86: Restore mwait_idle() to fix boot hangs, to improve power savings and to improve performance") restores mwait_idle(), but the trace_cpu_idle related calls are missing. This causes powertop on my old desktop powered by Intel Core2 E6550 to report zero wakeups and zero events. Add them back to restore the proper behaviour.

kexec could boot a kernel that could be legacy with no knowledge of LMCE. Hence we should make sure we clear LMCE optin before kexec reboot.
