Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

Subject: devmem, x86: fix rename of CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:47:17 -0700 CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM was a rather confusing name - but renaming it to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEM causes problems on architectures that do not support this feature; this patch renames it to CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, so that architectures can opt-in into it.

x86: introduce /dev/mem restrictions with a config option This patch introduces a restriction on /dev/mem: Only non-memory can be read or written unless the newly introduced config option is set. The X server needs access to /dev/mem for the PCI space, but it doesn't need access to memory; both the file permissions and SELinux permissions of /dev/mem just make X effectively super-super powerful. With the exception of the BIOS area, there's just no valid app that uses /dev/mem on actual memory. Other popular users of /dev/mem are rootkits and the like. (note: mmap access of memory via /dev/mem was already not allowed since a really long time) People who want to use /dev/mem for kernel debugging can enable the config option. The restrictions of this patch have been in the Fedora and RHEL kernels for at least 4 years without any problems.

x86, earlyprintk: Add earlyprintk for Intel Moorestown platform 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: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules 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.

That commit left one instance of CONFIG_INVLPG untouched, effectively disabling DEBUG_TLBFLUSH for X86_32.

DMA_API_DEBUG provides the similar feature, debug_dma_dump_mappings, and it's better than GART's IOMMU_LEAK feature.

trace: mmiotrace to the tracer menu in Kconfig Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it was forgotten. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64. Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there. Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

x86: mmiotrace - trace memory mapped IO Mmiotrace is a tool for trapping memory mapped IO (MMIO) accesses within the kernel. It is used for debugging and especially for reverse engineering evil binary drivers. Mmiotrace works by wrapping the ioremap family of kernel functions and marking the returned pages as not present. Access to the IO memory triggers a page fault, which will be handled by mmiotrace's custom page fault handler. This will single-step the faulted instruction with the MMIO page marked as present. Access logs are directed to user space via relay and debug_fs. This page fault approach is necessary, because binary drivers have readl/writel etc. calls inlined and therefore extremely difficult to trap with with e.g. kprobes. This patch depends on the custom page fault handlers patch. Signed-off-by: Pekka Paalanen <pq@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override. x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override. Certain (HP) laptops experience trouble from our port 0x80 I/O delay writes. This patch provides for a DMI based switch to the "alternate diagnostic port" 0xed (as used by some BIOSes as well) for these. David P. Reed confirmed that port 0xed works for him and provides a proper delay. The symptoms of _not_ working are a hanging machine, with "hwclock" use being a direct trigger. Earlier versions of this attempted to simply use udelay(2), with the 2 being a value tested to be a nicely conservative upper-bound with help from many on the linux-kernel mailinglist but that approach has two problems. First, pre-loops_per_jiffy calibration (which is post PIT init while some implementations of the PIT are actually one of the historically problematic devices that need the delay) udelay() isn't particularly well-defined. We could initialise loops_per_jiffy conservatively (and based on CPU family so as to not unduly delay old machines) which would sort of work, but... Second, delaying isn't the only effect that a write to port 0x80 has. It's also a PCI posting barrier which some devices may be explicitly or implicitly relying on. Alan Cox did a survey and found evidence that additionally some drivers may be racy on SMP without the bus locking outb. Switching to an inb() makes the timing too unpredictable and as such, this DMI based switch should be the safest approach for now. Any more invasive changes should get more rigid testing first. It's moreover only very few machines with the problem and a DMI based hack seems to fit that situation. This also introduces a command-line parameter "io_delay" to override the DMI based choice again: io_delay=<standard|alternate> where "standard" means using the standard port 0x80 and "alternate" port 0xed. This retains the udelay method as a config (CONFIG_UDELAY_IO_DELAY) and command-line ("io_delay=udelay") choice for testing purposes as well. This does not change the io_delay() in the boot code which is using the same port 0x80 I/O delay but those do not appear to be a problem as David P. Reed reported the problem was already gone after using the udelay version. He moreover reported that booting with "acpi=off" also fixed things and seeing as how ACPI isn't touched until after this DMI based I/O port switch I believe it's safe to leave the ones in the boot code be. The DMI strings from David's HP Pavilion dv9000z are in there already and we need to get/verify the DMI info from other machines with the problem, notably the HP Pavilion dv6000z.

x86: add optimized inlining add CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y. allow gcc to optimize the kernel image's size by uninlining functions that have been marked 'inline'. Previously gcc was forced by Linux to always-inline these functions via a gcc attribute: #define inline inline __attribute__((always_inline)) Especially when the user has already selected CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y this can make a huge difference in kernel image size (using a standard Fedora .config): text data bss dec hex filename 5613924 562708 3854336 10030968 990f78 vmlinux.before 5486689 562708 3854336 9903733 971e75 vmlinux.after that's a 2.3% text size reduction (!).

x86: change OPTIMIZE_INLINING help to say enabling makes smaller kernels Impact: clarify Kconfig help text The OPTIMIZE_INLINING help currently says "The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there." This contradicts other parts of the help text and my own tests: 5463127 2008-10-11 19:51 vmlinux.no-opt 5456152 2008-10-11 19:56 vmlinux.opt Reword text to say that enabling OPTIMIZE_INLINING will lead to smaller kernels with gcc 4.x or later.

x86: re-enable OPTIMIZE_INLINING re-enable OPTIMIZE_INLINING more widely. Jeff Dike fixed the remaining outstanding issue in this commit: | commit 4f81c5350b44bcc501ab6f8a089b16d064b4d2f6 | Author: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> | Date: Mon Jul 7 13:36:56 2008 -0400 | | [UML] fix gcc ICEs and unresolved externs [...] | This patch reintroduces unit-at-a-time for gcc >= 4.0, bringing back the | possibility of Uli's crash. If that happens, we'll debug it. it's still default-off and thus opt-in. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

x86, NMI: Add NMI IPI selftest The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI instead of IRQ as the way to communicate to the other cpus to shutdown. There were some concerns that various machines may have problems with using an NMI IPI. This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at boot. The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine panics and we learn the hard way. Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file runs a couple of simple tests and reports the results. The output looks like: ... Brought up 4 CPUs ---------------- | NMI testsuite: -------------------- remote IPI: ok | local IPI: ok | -------------------- Good, all 2 testcases passed! | --------------------------------- Total of 4 processors activated (21330.61 BogoMIPS). ...

x86: Sanity-check static_cpu_has usage static_cpu_has may be used only after alternatives have run. Before that it always returns false if constant folding with __builtin_constant_p() doesn't happen. And you don't want that. This patch is the result of me debugging an issue where I overzealously put static_cpu_has in code which executed before alternatives have run and had to spend some time with scratching head and cursing at the monitor. So add a jump to a warning which screams loudly when we use this function too early. The alternatives patch that check away in conjunction with patching the rest of the kernel image. [ hpa: factored this into its own configuration option. If we want to have an overarching option, it should be an option which selects other options, not as a group option in the source code. ] Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1370772454-6106-4-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de Signed-off-by: H.
