Callers updated accordingly. * architecture that does select GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE in its Kconfig should have its ret_from_kernel_thread() do this: call schedule_tail call the callback left for it by copy_thread(); if it ever returns, that's because it has just done successful kernel_execve() jump to return from syscall IOW, its only difference from ret_from_fork() is that it does call the callback. * such an architecture should also get rid of ret_from_kernel_execve() and __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE This is the last part of infrastructure patches in that area - from that point on work on different architectures can live independently.

* | efi: Fix the ACPI BGRT driver for images located in EFI boot services memoryJosh Triplett2012-09-291-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ACPI BGRT driver accesses the BIOS logo image when it initializes. However, ACPI 5.0 (which introduces the BGRT) recommends putting the logo image in EFI boot services memory, so that the OS can reclaim that memory. Production systems follow this recommendation, breaking the ACPI BGRT driver. Move the bulk of the BGRT code to run during a new EFI late initialization phase, which occurs after switching EFI to virtual mode, and after initializing ACPI, but before freeing boot services memory. Copy the BIOS logo image to kernel memory at that point, and make it accessible to the BGRT driver. Rework the existing ACPI BGRT driver to act as a simple wrapper exposing that image (and the properties from the BGRT) via sysfs.

* mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdatJiang Liu2012-08-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a fallback zonelist should be created for the new node. There's code to try to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below: /* * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here. */ mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex); build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL); mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex); But it doesn't work as expected. When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't been called yet. And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for online nodes as: for_each_online_node(nid) { pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid); build_zonelists(pgdat); build_zonelist_cache(pgdat); } Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't. So add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for the new pgdat too.

Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions (which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode() ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling efi-get-time in physical mode). Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable() requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()). Also make the two EFI functions in question here static - they're not being referenced elsewhere.

We are guaranteed that __fput() will be done before we return to userland (or exit). Note that for fput() from a kernel thread we get an async behaviour; it's almost always OK, but sometimes you might need to have __fput() completed before you do anything else. There are two mechanisms for that - a general barrier (flush_delayed_fput()) and explicit __fput_sync(). Both should be used with care (as was the case for fput() from kernel threads all along).

The arg is passed as: "Booting kernel" from start_kernel(), initcall_level_names[i] from do_initcall_level(), mod->name from load_module(), via parse_args(), parse_one() parse_args() already has the "name" parameter, which is renamed to "doing" to better reflect current uses 1,2 above. parse_args() passes it to an altered parse_one(), which now passes it down into the unknown option handler callbacks. The mod->name will be needed to handle dyndbg for loadable modules, since params passed by modprobe are not qualified (they do not have a "$modname." prefix), and by the time the unknown-param callback is called, the module name is not otherwise available. Minor tweaks: Add param-name to parse_one's pr_debug(), current message doesnt identify the param being handled, add it. Add a pr_info to print current level and level_name of the initcall, and number of registered initcalls at that level. This adds 7 lines to dmesg output, like: initlevel:6=device, 172 registered initcalls Drop "parameters" from initcall_level_names[], its unhelpful in the pr_info() added above.

We could just make such users always use GFP_ATOMIC, but quite often the code that does the allocation isn't really aware of the fact that the scheduler isn't up yet, and forcing that kind of random knowledge on the initialization code is just annoying and not good for anybody. And we actually have a the 'gfp_allowed_mask' exactly for this reason: it's just that the kernel init sequence happens to set it to allow blocking allocations much too early. So move the 'gfp_allowed_mask' initialization from 'start_kernel()' (which is some of the earliest init code, and runs with preemption disabled for good reasons) into 'kernel_init()'. kernel_init() is run in the newly created thread that will become the 'init' process, as opposed to the early startup code that runs within the context of what will be the first idle thread. So by the time we reach 'kernel_init()', we know that the scheduler must be at least limping along, because we've already scheduled from the idle thread into the init thread.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 026cee0086f had the side-effect of dropping the '=' from the unknown boot arguments that are passed to init as environment variables. This is because parse_args() puts a NUL in the string where the '=' was when it passes the "param" and "val" pointers to the parsing subfunctions. Previously, unknown_bootoption() was the last parse_args() subfunction to run, and it carefully put back the '=' character. Now the ignore_unknown_bootoption() is the last one to run, and it wasn't doing the necessary repair, so the envp params ended up with the embedded NUL and were no longer seen as valid environment variables by init.

I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

* | params: <level>_initcall-like kernel parametersPawel Moll2012-03-261-6/+59
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a set of macros that can be used to declare kernel parameters to be parsed _before_ initcalls at a chosen level are executed. We rename the now-unused "flags" field of struct kernel_param as the level. It's signed, for when we use this for early params as well, in future. Linker macro collating init calls had to be modified in order to add additional symbols between levels that are later used by the init code to split the calls into blocks.

So maybe we could start usermodehelper_enable a little early to make some task work that need eary init with the help of user mode. [ I would *really* prefer that initcalls not call into user space - even the real 'init' hasn't been execve'd yet, after all! But for uvesafb it really does look like we don't have much choice. I considered doing this when we mount the root filesystem, but depending on config options that is in multiple places. We could do the usermode helper enable as a rootfs_initcall().. So I'm just using wang yanqing's trivial patch. It's not wonderful, but it's simple and should work.

* | bootup: move 'usermodehelper_enable()' to the end of do_basic_setup()Linus Torvalds2011-09-281-3/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Doing it just before starting to call into cpu_idle() made a sick kind of sense only because the original bug we fixed (see commit 288d5abec831: "Boot up with usermodehelper disabled") was about problems with some scheduler data structures not being initialized, and they had better be initialized at that point. But it really didn't make any other conceptual sense, and doing it after the initial "schedule()" call for the idle thread actually opened up a race: what if the main initialization thread did everything without needing to sleep, and got all the way into user land too? Without actually having scheduled back to the idle thread? Now, in normal circumstances that doesn't ever happen, but it looks like Richard Cochran triggered exactly that on his ARM IXP4xx machines: "I have some ARM IXP4xx based machines that use the two on chip MAC ports (aka NPEs). The NPE needs a firmware in order to function. Ever since the following commit [that 288d5abec831 one], it is no longer possible to bring up the interfaces during the init scripts." with a call trace showing an ioctl coming from user space. Richard says: "The init is busybox, and the startup script does mount, syslogd, and then ifup, so that all can go by quickly." The fix is to move the usermodehelper_enable() into the main 'init' thread, and just put it after we've done all our initcalls. By then, everything really should be up, but we've obviously not actually started the user-mode portion of init yet.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The core device layer sends tons of uevent notifications for each device it finds, and if the kernel has been built with a non-empty CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH that will make us try to execute the usermode helper binary for all these events very early in the boot. Not only won't the root filesystem even be mounted at that point, we literally won't have necessarily even initialized all the process handling data structures at that point, which causes no end of silly problems even when the usermode helper doesn't actually succeed in executing. So just use our existing infrastructure to disable the usermodehelpers to make the kernel start out with them disabled. We enable them when we've at least initialized stuff a bit.

* generic-ipi: Fix kexec boot crash by initializing call_single_queue before ↵Takao Indoh2011-06-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | enabling interrupts There is a problem that kdump(2nd kernel) sometimes hangs up due to a pending IPI from 1st kernel. Kernel panic occurs because IPI comes before call_single_queue is initialized. To fix the crash, rename init_call_single_data() to call_function_init() and call it in start_kernel() so that call_single_queue can be initialized before enabling interrupts. The details of the crash are: (1) 2nd kernel boots up (2) A pending IPI from 1st kernel comes when irqs are first enabled in start_kernel(). (3) Kernel tries to handle the interrupt, but call_single_queue is not initialized yet at this point. As a result, in the generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt(), NULL pointer dereference occurs when list_replace_init() tries to access &q->list.next. Therefore this patch changes the name of init_call_single_data() to call_function_init() and calls it before local_irq_enable() in start_kernel().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The call to flush_scheduled_work() in do_initcalls() is there to make sure all works queued to system_wq by initcalls finish before the init sections are dropped. However, the call doesn't make much sense at this point - there already are multiple different workqueues and different subsystems are free to create and use their own. Ordering requirements are and should be expressed explicitly. Drop the call to prepare for the deprecation and removal of flush_scheduled_work(). Andrew suggested adding sanity check where the workqueue code checks whether any pending or running work has the work function in the init text section. However, checking this for running works requires the worker to keep track of the current function being executed, and checking only the pending works will miss most cases. As a violation will almost always be caught by the usual page fault mechanism, I don't think it would be worthwhile to make the workqueue code track extra state just for this.
