* usb/early: Add driver for xhci debug capabilityLu Baolu2017-03-211-2/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XHCI debug capability (DbC) is an optional but standalone functionality provided by an xHCI host controller. Software learns this capability by walking through the extended capability list of the host. XHCI specification describes DbC in section 7.6. This patch introduces the code to probe and initialize the debug capability hardware during early boot. With hardware initialized, the debug target (system on which this code is running) will present a debug device through the debug port (normally the first USB3 port). The debug device is fully compliant with the USB framework and provides the equivalent of a very high performance (USB3) full-duplex serial link between the debug host and target. The DbC functionality is independent of the xHCI host. There isn't any precondition from the xHCI host side for the DbC to work. One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your machine crashes very early before the regular console code is initialized. Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of a full-blown printk console driver and klogd.

* mm: add arch-independent testcases for RODATAJinbum Park2017-02-281-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA. Both x86 and x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific because using inline assembly directly. And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build. To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it to shared location.

* | x86/mm: Remove CONFIG_DEBUG_NX_TESTKees Cook2017-01-311-8/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_DEBUG_NX_TEST has been broken since CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y was added in v2.6.37 via: 84e1c6bb38eb ("x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules") since the exception table was then made read-only. Additionally, the manually constructed extables were never fixed when relative extables were introduced in v3.5 via: 706276543b69 ("x86, extable: Switch to relative exception table entries") However, relative extables won't work for test_nx.c, since test instruction memory areas may be more than INT_MAX away from an executable fixup (e.g. stack and heap too far away from executable memory with the fixup). Since clearly no one has been using this code for a while now, and similar tests exist in LKDTM, this should just be removed entirely.

| * x86/cpufeature: Replace the old static_cpu_has() with safe variantBorislav Petkov2016-01-301-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So the old one didn't work properly before alternatives had run. And it was supposed to provide an optimized JMP because the assumption was that the offset it is jumping to is within a signed byte and thus a two-byte JMP. So I did an x86_64 allyesconfig build and dumped all possible sites where static_cpu_has() was used. The optimization amounted to all in all 12(!) places where static_cpu_has() had generated a 2-byte JMP. Which has saved us a whopping 36 bytes! This clearly is not worth the trouble so we can remove it. The only place where the optimization might count - in __switch_to() - we will handle differently. But that's not subject of this patch.

Summary: - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a block device. This initial implementation is limited to being consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be consulted when creating dax mappings. - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability to dax-mmap a block device directly. - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line option. - Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix, block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (32 commits) block: kill disk_{check|set|clear|alloc}_badblocks libnvdimm, pmem: nvdimm_read_bytes() badblocks support pmem, dax: disable dax in the presence of bad blocks pmem: fail io-requests to known bad blocks libnvdimm: convert to statically allocated badblocks libnvdimm: don't fail init for full badblocks list block, badblocks: introduce devm_init_badblocks block: clarify badblocks lifetime badblocks: rename badblocks_free to badblocks_exit libnvdimm, pmem: move definition of nvdimm_namespace_add_poison to nd.h libnvdimm: Add a poison list and export badblocks nfit_test: Enable DSMs for all test NFITs md: convert to use the generic badblocks code block: Add badblock management for gendisks badblocks: Add core badblock management code block: fix del_gendisk() vs blkdev_ioctl crash block: enable dax for raw block devices block: introduce bdev_file_inode() restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges arch: consolidate CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM in lib/Kconfig.debug ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out to be rather tedious to test the NMI nesting code. Make it easier: add a new CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY option that causes the NMI handler to pre-emptively unmask NMIs. With this option set, errors in the repeat_nmi logic or failures to detect that we're in a nested NMI will result in quick panics under perf (especially if multiple counters are running at high frequency) instead of requiring an unusual workload that generates page faults or breakpoints inside NMIs. I called it CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY instead of CONFIG_DEBUG_NMI_ENTRY because I want to add new non-NMI checks elsewhere in the entry code in the future, and I'd rather not add too many new config options or add this option and then immediately rename it.

The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good - but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the end. The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will have fewer dependencies). The main changes in this cycle were: * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner) - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86 interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt domains: [IOAPIC domain] ----- | [MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ] | (optional) | [HPET MSI domain] ----- | | [DMAR domain] ----------------------------- | [Legacy domain] ----------------------------- This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet and the vector management. - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt injection into guests (Feng Wu) * x86/asm changes: - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski, Brian Gerst) - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar) - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations. Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does not rely on them (Ingo Molnar) - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov) * x86/mm changes: - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers - in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov) - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support Write-Through cached memory mappings.

That means roughly that the hardware marks data which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the form of a deferred error.

* x86/intel/quark: Add Isolated Memory Regions for Quark X1000Bryan O'Donoghue2015-02-181-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Intel's Quark X1000 SoC contains a set of registers called Isolated Memory Regions. IMRs are accessed over the IOSF mailbox interface. IMRs are areas carved out of memory that define read/write access rights to the various system agents within the Quark system. For a given agent in the system it is possible to specify if that agent may read or write an area of memory defined by an IMR with a granularity of 1 KiB. Quark_SecureBootPRM_330234_001.pdf section 4.5 details the concept of IMRs quark-x1000-datasheet.pdf section 12.7.4 details the implementation of IMRs in silicon. eSRAM flush, CPU Snoop write-only, CPU SMM Mode, CPU non-SMM mode, RMU and PCIe Virtual Channels (VC0 and VC1) can have individual read/write access masks applied to them for a given memory region in Quark X1000. This enables IMRs to treat each memory transaction type listed above on an individual basis and to filter appropriately based on the IMR access mask for the memory region. Quark supports eight IMRs. Since all of the DMA capable SoC components in the X1000 are mapped to VC0 it is possible to define sections of memory as invalid for DMA write operations originating from Ethernet, USB, SD and any other DMA capable south-cluster component on VC0. Similarly it is possible to mark kernel memory as non-SMM mode read/write only or to mark BIOS runtime memory as SMM mode accessible only depending on the particular memory footprint on a given system. On an IMR violation Quark SoC X1000 systems are configured to reset the system, so ensuring that the IMR memory map is consistent with the EFI provided memory map is critical to ensure no IMR violations reset the system. The API for accessing IMRs is based on MTRR code but doesn't provide a /proc or /sys interface to manipulate IMRs. Defining the size and extent of IMRs is exclusively the domain of in-kernel code. Quark firmware sets up a series of locked IMRs around pieces of memory that firmware owns such as ACPI runtime data. During boot a series of unlocked IMRs are placed around items in memory to guarantee no DMA modification of those items can take place. Grub also places an unlocked IMR around the kernel boot params data structure and compressed kernel image. It is necessary for the kernel to tear down all unlocked IMRs in order to ensure that the kernel's view of memory passed via the EFI memory map is consistent with the IMR memory map. Without tearing down all unlocked IMRs on boot transitory IMRs such as those used to protect the compressed kernel image will cause IMR violations and system reboots. The IMR init code tears down all unlocked IMRs and sets a protective IMR around the kernel .text and .rodata as one contiguous block. This sanitizes the IMR memory map with respect to the EFI memory map and protects the read-only portions of the kernel from unwarranted DMA access.

To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this config. Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.

* kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes2011-01-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

* x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modulesmatthieu castet2010-11-181-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each individual section: 1. Code: RO+X 2. RO data: RO+NX 3. RW data: RW+NX In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access permissions are set right before successful exit from load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right before calling module_free(). By default, the original section layout and access flags are preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y, the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that each page contains only one type of content and will enforce RO/NX for each group of pages. -v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch. -v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also been corrected. -v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional. Section page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y. -v4: Removed most macros and improved coding style. -v5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation -v6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only -v7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added calls to set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro() in ftrace -v8: updated for compatibility with linux 2.6.33-rc5 -v9: coding style fixes -v10: more coding style fixes -v11: minor adjustments for -tip -v12: minor adjustments for v2.6.35-rc2-tip -v13: minor adjustments for v2.6.37-rc1-tip Signed-off-by: Siarhei Liakh <sliakh.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Xuxian Jiang <jiang@cs.ncsu.edu> Acked-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Signed-off-by: H.

| * x86: Always use irq stacksChristoph Hellwig2010-06-291-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IRQ stacks provide much better safety against unexpected stack use from interrupts, at the minimal downside of slightly higher memory usage. Enable irq stacks also for the default 8k stack on 32-bit kernels to minimize the problem of stack overflows through interrupt activity. This is what the 64-bit kernel and various other architectures already do.

* | x86, earlyprintk: Add earlyprintk for Intel Moorestown platformFeng Tang2010-10-081-0/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Intel Moorestown platform has a spi-uart device(Maxim3110), which connects to a Designware spi core controller. This patch will add early console function based on it. As it will be used long before Linux spi subsystem get initialised, we simply directly manipulate the spi controller's register to acheive the early console func. This is safe as it will be disabled when devices subsytem get initialised. To use it, user need enable CONFIG_X86_MRST_EARLY_PRINTK in kenrel config and add "earlyprintk=mrst" in kernel command line.

* | x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace codePeter Zijlstra2010-03-261-9/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.
