Linus, please pull the latest x86 git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git
Find the shortlog attached below.
Most of the changes we have described here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/21/230
It's not a small merge, it consists of 908 commits from 96 individual
arch/x86 developers (!):
671 files changed, 42791 insertions(+), 38967 deletions(-)
so here are a few highlevel comments as well, in addition to the
shortlog:
- a number of core files are changed as well: most notably percpu,
debugging details, timers, the firewire remote debugging patch and ...
the KGDB remote debugging stub in kernel/kgdb.c.
- we tested KGDB to be merge-worthy within the x86 architecture (the
only supported architecture for now) and it's better to have
kernel/kgdb.c than arch/x86/kernel/kgdb.c. The code is reasonably
clean and the user-space exposure is small - the only real exposure is
the decades-old remote GDB protocol. We are happy to fix up any
further cleanliness comments that people might have - but we really
wanted to start somewhere and get this thing moving. As an added
bonus: finally a kernel debugger that can be read without puking too
much ;-) [anyone remember KDB?]
- the core timer and genirq changes are pushed via x86.git for
convenience reasons, we tested them inside x86.git for a long time.
- the module loader bits have been seen and acked by Rusty - work is
going on in parallel to make those bits cleaner, but they are no
merge-stopper for him now.
- the ptrace/regset bits from Roland are tied to x86 regset support and
affect no other architecture. (but they enable easy regset merging for
other architectures in the future)
- the lockbreak cleanup patches are tied to the ticket spinlocks and big
ticket spinlocks - hence the changes to fs/*.
- the changes to agp drivers are mechanic, due to the CPA API cleanups
and fixes. Behavior is not supposed to change, a number of drivers
were tested in that category and no breakage is known at the moment.
(see further below about the CPA changes)
- a sizable portion of the queue is the 120 patches strong CPA/ioremap
rewrite. Tons of bugs fixed and we now think it's a dependable basis.
Because this is the riskiest item we've placed it near the end of our
queue, in a way that makes it easy to revert/mute the riskiest (or
all) aspects of these changes. [ NOTE: these CPA fixes, due to their
intrusiveness are not backmergable into v2.6.24. Sorry about that, but
pushing 100+ patches into stable is just not realistic. ]
- the PAT patches are not included yet - they were breaking too many
boxes and were exposing too many hardware details that we are
neither handling right nor do we have them all mapped yet to a
sufficient degree. Also, the basic CPA machinery has to be dependable
before we can start putting in the hard cache attribute constraints
that PAT requires. The CPA changes are fully compatible with all known
driver details and there's no known breakage at the moment.
- there's full 64-bit paravirt support now - but no hypervisor bindings
yet. These might show up a bit later as they are rather isolated (in
fact i'd expect them to show up real soon ;) - important was to get
the core changes cleaned up, integrated and tested.
- PIE/brk randomization. Not a single regression happened due to this so
far (and it's been in x86.git for months) - it seems exec-shield has
rooted out stuff years ago - but we'll see. Details in the patch. It's
easily revertable in any case.
- new debugging feature: init memory permanently unmapped from the
direct mappings, to catch __init section bugs faster. This could
trigger in other subsystems. Right now dependent on
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y.
- if we forgot to mention any important item it's due to sheer
exhaustion :-/ Please ask and we'll explain anything that is missing.
the x86.git queue has been built and booted on 32-bit and 64-bit x86,
allnoconfig and allyesconfig [the new CONFIG_SIS190 gigabit driver in
-git has been disabled because it has build failures], including a real
legacy i386 DX 33 MHz system which successfully booted x86.git today.
In the past few weeks tens of thousands of random x86.git bzImages were
successfully built and booted on a number of (commodity) 32-bit and
64-bit testsystems - and there has been a fair amount of test exposure
on -mm as well. We expect the x86.git changes to be pretty robust - if
any problems there are they should be under more specialized conditions.
(or due to very recent changes that we kept at the tail of the commit
list) Famous last words? :)

Commit: 95c354fe9f7d6decc08a92aa26eb233ecc2155bf
Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:31:20 +0100
spinlock: lockbreak cleanup
The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.
Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.
Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).

Defining GENERIC_LOCKBREAK in arch/s390/Kconfig takes care of it. I'll
cook up a patch and queue it in git390.

Yeah thanks, don't know what happened with this, sorry. I thought I
had defined it for all SMP capable ones, so maybe it was a quilt
error or something on my part.

You tested x86 but broke more than half a dozen other archtectures,
with at least 3 different commits breaking other architectures.
It now takes a few days until this mess is completely sorted out, and I
hope there won't be too many poor souls having to bisect 2.6.25-rc1
regresions on !x86 since this can now become the pure horror.
And if people give up trying to bisect 2.6.25 might ship with more
regressions.
I already said in the past that the x86 tree contains not architecture
specific stuff that doesn't belong there, and looking at the following
parts of the diffstat, most of it does simply not belong into an
"x86 arch update":

Note that all known breakages are fixed in current -git, except for the
s390 problem that Martin/Nick posted the fix.

What about the breakages caused by commit
a5a19c63f4e55e32dc0bc3d936d7f94793d8b380 (this commit broke the
defconfig compilation on at least avr32, blackfin, sh, sparc and uml)?
This commit touched two different not x86 specific headers, and both of
them broke (different) architectures.

Is it safe, or why did Jeremy state in the commit
"I removed this include to avoid an include cycle"?

The sparc breakage (might not have been reported until now and I
bisected it just a few minutes ago) is caused by the following part of
commit a5a19c63f4e55e32dc0bc3d936d7f94793d8b380:

that is an x86.git complication alone, and only affects 32-bit PAE: it
is solved by the uninlining patch (that i've queued up to before the
asm-generic/tlb.h revert/fix).

Drat. I added that because of
/* only sparc can not include linux/pagemap.h in this file
* so leave page_cache_release and release_pages undeclared... */
#define free_page_and_swap_cache(page) \
page_cache_release(page)
#define free_pages_and_swap_cache(pages, nr) \
release_pages((pages), (nr), 0);
But I guess I overlooked the comment...
I guess the fix is to scatter linux/pagemap.h into the appropriate
places where these macros are used (asm-generic/tlb.h, for a start).

no. The fix is always to undo the damage ASAP, to keep the window of
breakage minimized.
Adrian, could you please check whether latest x86.git:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git
resolves the Sparc build failure you were seeing? All known issues are
fixed in it. (let me know if you know about more)

Yes, sorry about that. Uninlining the asm-x86/pgalloc.h functions is
the right thing to do anyway.

Thanks but I already queued a different one (see below). The other
architectures that define GENERIC_LOCKBREAK have the "depends on SMP &&
PREEMPT" line as well. The line does make sense if you look at the way
how spin_is_contended is used, no ?

yes, you are right and your fix is the correct one. Currently, if we
define GENERIC_LOCKBREAK on UP then we get accesses to the non-existing
lock->need_lockbreak field.
[ btw., this is really a small uncleanliness in the generic code: it
should be possible for an architecture to just enable
GENERIC_LOCKBREAK unconditionally, to indicate that it intends to "let
the generic code do this". Then the generic code, when it does not
have a field (such as on UP), should just not access it. But this is a
small detail. ]

The x86 tree was merged several times, but I don't see kgdb included in
latest mainline -git.
So just one question, will it be included or no?

I won't even consider pulling it unless it's offered as a separate tree,
not mixed up with other things. At that point I can give a look.
That said, I explained to Ingo why I'm not particularly interested in it.
I don't think that "developer-centric" debugging is really even remotely
our problem, and that I'm personally a lot more interested in
infrastructure that helps normal users give better bug-reports. And kgdb
isn't even _remotely_ it.
So I'd merge a patch that puts oops information (or the whole console
printout) in the Intel management stuff in a heartbeat. That code is
likely much grottier than any kgdb thing will ever be (Intel really
screwed up the interface and made it some insane XML thing), but it's also
fundamentally more important - if it means that normal users can give oops
reports after they happened in X (or, these days, probably more commonly
during suspend/resume) and the machine just died.
kgdb? Not so interesting. We have many more hard problems happening at
user sites, not in developer hands.

FWIW, I'm not a fulltime developer by any means, but on occasion
I have fixed a few bugs in the netfilter area of the kernel.
And in almost all cases, I used kgdb in my debugging and testing
of fixes.
In doing so, it was a bit of a PITA to find/patch kgdb into the
kernel, and having it as a configurable option would have saved
me some time and effort and made the process much smoother.
So perhaps someone else out there would find it similarly useful,
and the extra time it takes to find/patch/compile kgdb in is
precluding them from participating? Why would we ever want to do
that?

I used kgdb continuously for 4-5 years until it broke. I don't think I
ever used it much for "debugging" as such. I used it more for general
observation of what's going on in the kernel. And for _confirmation_ of
what's going on (ie: testing that the actual state matches the expected
state).
I'd end up doing my development with the assumption that kgdb was present.
One example: rather than putting printks all over the place to ensure that
the right thing was happening at the right time I'd instead add code like
void foo(void)
{
}
...
if (expr)
foo();
then, when the testcase was up and running and in steady state, break in
and put a breakpoint on foo(). Continue, wait for the breakpoint then go
in and observe locals, globals, data structures, etc.
It's hard to describe (and remember!). But the presence of the debugger as
a development (not debugging) tool changes the way you do development a bit.

How about we put in some sort of console logging tool so we can buffer
and log the console output better? Currently if I have both a serial
and tty console defined, my GDM prompter looses the mouse until I goto
the XDMCP chooser and back again.
I'm pretty sure it's a GDM problem, since Xdm doesn't have this issue
at all. Haven't had time to chase it though.
In any case, having some way to log oopses better would be really
nice. Not sure how we could do it reliably for suspend/resume needs
on laptops without dedicated management hardware like the ILOM stuff
on Intel/Sun boxes.
Dunno... just viocing my desires...

Hm. Dumping oops information plus perhaps even a memory dump to a USB
key sounds like it would be highly useful - lots of storage capacity,
readily available, and can be plugged into just about any system.
I don't know if the backdoor debugging mode in EHCI can be used for
that. Either way, this would have to be done *very* carefully to avoid
clobbering USB devices not intended for this purpose.

I can also underline this - and add the aspect that a kernel debugger
may also nicely serve to explore tricky code paths interactively. This
specifically can lower the entrance barrier to complex kernel subsystems
for new developers/bug hunters.
With the latest changes, now all available through Jason's git repos for
2.6.25, kgdb should be usable again ("Now even more stable than ever!"
;) ). It became much less invasive towards critical code paths during
recent rounds of refactoring, so we can hopefully meet the requirements
for merging it upstream soon (2.6.26?).
While too many people consider a debugger as _the_ tool for kernel
development, which it clearly isn't, it remains a fairly useful feature,
and I don't see any regression, technically or organizationally, it may
introduce to Linux. IMHO, it would be a pity if kgdb have to remain out
off tree and may potentially fall back at quality levels that many of us
had fought with in the past.

Hi Linus,
If you listen carefully you can hear dozens of Linux kernel developers
collectively holding their breath and thinking "Maybe Linus will
finally merge kgdb". Yes, user bug reports are important. Developer
efficiency is important too.

I do pretty much all my debugging with printk, not just because it is a
pain to go find a working kgdb patch, but also because tools like uml
make printk style debugging really fast. That said, I often find my
development time sinking away into tedious activity like putting in a
printk after each line of code, just to find out where some bad thing
started going bad. At that point a source level debugger would save me
a bunch of time and I would not have to remove the printks afterwards.
However, if the time required to patch the kernel with kgdb is more than
the time spent putting in prinks then I will just grit my teeth and put
in the printks. Never mind that I will end up going through the printk
insertion process many times, while only needing to apply the kgdb
patch once. Ahem, that is once per kernel version, and I change kernel
versions like I change socks (that means "often" for the wags among
you.)
One thing I like to do with a source level debugger besides debugging is
take a walk once through some new algorithm I have implemented. Not
because I think there is a bug, but more for the same reason that I
like to do a side by side walkthrough of new code with another
developer before ever running it. This just provides a different
perspective, so that perhaps some little blemishes, inefficiencies and
redundancies will show themselves, and the code quality usually
improves because of it.
Not that this is the only way I review my own code, it is just another
way. More ways of reviewing code are better. In this sense, the
debugger is like a mechanical friend who always has time available to
join in a side by side code review.

Daniel

Just as a note I find it extremly useful in some case to be able
to run gdb on a kernel. As said by Andrew it's less the tradition
debugging but more to get a picture of what's going on.
But kgdb traditionally was more than just a simple gdb stub and
contained hooks all over the place for additional functionality.
I don't think all this is a good idea and I'd be against it.
I'd be really happy to see a common gdb stub with small arch support
that allows attaching gdb to the kernel through various transports.
Maybe someone is up to do just that? Even the full blown kgdb with
all the hooks would benefit from having the gdb stub already in,
so maybe I could motivate some kgdb developers to do that work?

For sure, every small step forward will help.
Maybe you could have a look at current kgdb.git at kernel.org and
comment on what you would like to see in a first submission round, what
kind of hooks, specifically regarding the core, are not yet in an
acceptable state, and so forth. We will listen.

I agree. Even with XML ugliness that's a fairly important area.

The other problem with the current kgdb code is that it has some serious
problems. e.g. it reinvents various kernel interfaces that already
exist -- one example is that it adds new notify_die()s just to reimplement
the standard __ex_table exceptions in a bogus way.
Couple of other issues. So even if it was a good idea to merge the
code is not really fully in merge shape anyways.

/me was once wondering as well why kgdb installs a seconds way of
handling (its own) faults. Jason explained to me that this approach is
more robust against corruption along the normal fix-up path. Maybe he
can elaborate better than I why this is useful (or what real-life bug
once encouraged the current design).

If you recall the issues (and they are still present), it would be nice
to have them listed. kgdb suffered a lot from historic cruft, but we
already remove at least some of it over the last patching rounds.
Whatever remains should be addressed ASAP.

If the machine can be hooked up over FireWire to another Linux box, you can
use the OHCI1394 controller's "physical DMA" feature to get lots if info:
What you need:
- An OHCI1394-compliant (nearly all are) FireWire port in the oopsing system
- A second Linux system (with other tools also other OS) with any FireWire port
- A FireWire cable which connects the two ports (there are two kinds of plugs)
- ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/tools/firescope-0.2.2.tar.bz2
What you do:
1 - You boot both systems and connect them with the FireWire cable
2 - You initialize FireWire on both systems and ensure that 'physical DMA'
is enabled in the OHCI1394-compliant FireWire controller of the oopsing
machine.
3 - You transfer the System.map of the debugged kernel to the second system.
- Everything after this point does not need the cooperation of the CPU
of the debugged system, the PCI bus needs to be working and unlocked,
but the CPU(s) of the debugged system can otherwise do anything or
nothing at all anymore.
4 - You trigger the oops/crash/hang, but leave the debugged machine turned on.
5 - You install firescope (URL in the list above) on the second machine and
run it for example with:
firescope -A System.map-of-debugged-kernel
6) you press Ctrl-D (this is just one way to do it)
What you get are the contents of the printk buffer containing the messages
which the kernel logged into the in-memory printk buffer (such as oopses)
- directly from the other machine's RAM over remote DMA (which is called
"physical DMA" in FireWire language)
Of course you can put firescope into "auto update mode" and just watch or
log the printk buffer as it gets messages on the remote system - in real time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is new code in mainline now to debug early boot issues:
If the oops/hang/crash happens early in boot, before the normal ohci1394 kernel
driver can initialize the OHCI1394-compatible controllers on the debugged
system, such as in the ACPI initialisation or so, you can employ my early
initialisation patch for OHCI1394 controllers to get remote access early:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=f212ec4b7b4d84290f12c9c0416cdea283bf5f40
It has been committed into mainline (for 2.6.25) with the x86 merge on
January 30 and it contains more documentation on debugging over FireWire.
To to ensure everybody: The code is not compiled by default, and even if
compiled, it runs __only__ when a specific boot parameter is given on boot.
However, the initialization of the ohci1394 driver allows physical DMA to
all FireWire nodes unless it is loaded with phys_dma=0. See the PS of
this mail for more regarding security.
You can also use the new code on debugging suspend/resume from disk/ram:
To debug suspend:
1 - enable the early firewire patch as documentented in the patch
2 - have the second linux system set up and connected on boot already
3 - ensure that no OHIC1394 driver is ever loaded, as suspending as
well as the driver unload would disable the OHCI1394 controller.
4 - suspend the machine to get the oops/hang/crash.
To debug resume from disk:
Nothing add to the above. The new code gets called when the boot kernel
initializes the machine hardware on resume, so you can get access.
To debug resume from ram:
Disable the __init{,data} flags in the patch and insert a call to
init_ohci1394_dma_on_all_controllers()
early on resume, after the registers of PCI cards are accessible.
Testing and submitting that would be the next thing on my todo list for
debugging with firewire, but someone tries it, I'd be happy to hear how
it went (or to look at the resulting patch).
My plan would be to make that a config option which can be enabled when
needed to debug resume from ram with a new flag to the boot option which
the new init_ohci1394 commit added.
The documentation in the commit also includes a link to firedump, a tool
which can to pull the the contents of all PCI-accessible memory over
FireWire at high speed. But it does not parse the e820 map yet, so it
crashes the remote system hard if it ties to read from a memory hole.
below the 4GB limit over to the second machine - with the speed of your
Best Regards,
Bernhard Kaindl
PS:
Using gdb (and even kgdb) over firewire is possible:
For very advanced users, the documentation in the commit contains a link
to a gdb stub for firewire (named fireproxy currenty) which allows gdb to
access all data which can be referenced from symbols found by gdb using
a vmlinux file which is compiled with debug information.
With it, you can get symbolic kernel stack backtraces of the remote system
by using the gdb macros which were written for kdump.
The latest version of the gdb proxy (fireproxy-0.34) can communicate
with kgdb over a generic memory-communication module (kgdbom). This
implementation is just a proof-of-concept which can only excange a very
small amount of messages over physical DMA memory back and forth, which
means that it is not yet useable for real debbugging work.
Regarding security:
On the software side: The new fw-ohci driver seems to allow physical DMA only
to devices which pretend to be FireWire disks (it is the specified way to
transfer the data) unless a disk on a remote FireWire bus is being
plugged-in. That makes it a bit harder to use physical DMA, but not
impossible. Loading no FireWire driver is also possible, but you'd have
to check that your BIOS does not enable FireWire when your machine reboots
(for boot from FireWire).
With FireWire enabled by the BIOS, a hacker could (in theory) load his
own operating system into the system RAM and boot it by changing the
code which the boot loader executes while it is running to trick the
CPU to jump directy into the bootstrapping code of the loaded OS.
Loading the ochi1394 driver with phys_dma=0 would disable physical DMA.
It could mean that some FireWire drivers like sbp2 might not work, so
if the BIOS does not enable FireWire on boot, you should be safe from
the FireWire side with that.
To be really safe from such kind of system tapping, you have to prevent
physical access to your FireWire ports (and your mainboard, to exclude
debug cards): Filling hot glue into the FireFire ports makes it harder
to use them and a padlock on the system housing gives some resistance
to physical system intrusions, but there is always a big enough bolt
cutter to open it. How much you need depends on the threat you have.

I sent Jason a couple of mails last time when he posted (and before that the
previous maintainer when he tried to merge it). All were
fairly "beratungsresistent".
If you're truly interested i can dig out the mails or do a fresh review.
Long ago I did a quite clean x86-64 kgdb for Linux 2.4 based on the
old 2.4 stub that dropped in without any strange other hooks
(except for a straight forward change to the serial code). It worked
just fine this way.

...
To be precise, firewire-sbp2 tells firewire-ohci to open up the physical
response unit (which implements the remote DMA feature) for the target
node from when it tries the SBP-2 login until when it completes the
SBP-2 logout or the target is plugged out. Let's call it filtered
physical DMA.
A mode which doesn't require the physical response unit could be
implemented in firewire-sbp2, but this would come with a considerable
overhead regarding code, runtime CPU usage due to huge interrupt
handling load, and additional runtime memory footprint.
The older sbp2 driver relies on unfiltered physical DMA, hence is less
secure. There can be a mode selected at compile time to run without
physical DMA, but that's buggy and implemented in a way which is not
portable.
The only reason why we don't have an SBP-2 initiator which works without
remote DMA is that nobody is bothered enough to either debug that mode
in the old driver or implement it in the new driver. Besides, we could
rather trivially add filtered physical DMA to the old
sbp2/ieee1394/ohci1394 stack but nobody took the time to do this yet either.
> With FireWire enabled by the BIOS, a hacker could (in theory) load his

...
x86 BIOSes don't initialize OHCI-1394 controllers up to the point that
its physical response unit were working remote nodes were granted access
to it.
Apple's OpenFirmware implements SBP-2 initiator but I don't know if it
uses the physical response unit. But this point is moot --- you can
boot from SBP-2 targets.

Well, let's try it this way: Find below a patch against kgdb.git that
removes the special fault handling (this wouldn't be the first feature I
recently removed from kgdb :->). Light testing revealed no obvious
problems yet.
Jason, please tell us what problems this could cause. I just dug out the
reply you sent me regarding this last year, and you specifically
mentioned non-recoverable unaligned accesses by gdb on MIPS. Is this
still true? Is there no way to handle this particular arch separately
and leave the rest happily with what the kernel already provides?
Jan
----snip----
As the kernel already provides the infrastructure to carefully access
potentially bogus memory locations, kgdb does not need to maintain its

That is indeed horrible code. No way will I merge anything that has things
like that even in it's *history* (ie somebody needs to re-generate the
tree without code like that - some things should not be allowed to exist).
That said, while just using "probe_kernel_addr()" is certainly much
better, it's still really inefficient. If you actually want to do a "safe
memory copy", then the right way to do that is basically to do
pagefault_disable();
leftover = __copy_from_user_inatomic(dst, src, count);
pagefault_enable();
if (leftover)
handle_the_fact_that_the_copy_didnt_complete();
which should even be reasonably efficient and should work in all contexts
(hardware interrupts disabled, spinlocks held, you name it).
So all those "kgdb_{get|set}_mem()" things seem bogus (they also have
insane calling semantics - return NULL or errptr? Why not just return an
integer error code?

I concur. I will collapse the entire kgdb tree back to the original few
patches which can be bisected.

cc503c1b "x86: PIE executable randomization" doesn't boot on my Ubuntu
Feisty Fawn Intel Core2 system.
I get numerous segfaults before getting a (initramfs) busybox shell. A
similar bug was reported much earlier:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/20/421
Sadly, reverting this (or all of the PIE patches) results in a lot of
conflicts now with git-revert too failing, mainly in
arch/x86/mm/mmap_64.c.

As far as I remembers, Ubuntu uses klibc in initramfs, right?
What version of klibc do you have? There was a bug in klibc that causes
such behavior on PIE-randomization-enabled kernels, and has been fixed in
klibc-1.45 by commit [1]. Please make sure you have updated klibc version
that doesn't contain this bug.

so your problem was resolved by an updated klibc version?

Yes, it was. I downloaded the sources from the gutsy repo (which is version 1.5)

Dear Kernel Maintainers,
I am with Phil Oester and Andrew Morton when it comes to getting
kgdb into the mainline kernel. I _am_ a full time developer, and
when I have to work with Linux kernel code, kgdb makes things a lot
easier. I work on many different platforms, with many different
operating systems, and there just is not enough time in the day to
learn every line of every version of the kernel. kgdb allows me to
get in, see what I need, and get out.
That being said, if kgdb _does_ become mainline, and people are able
to get more visibility into how the kernel works in real time, you
will probably see more exploits. This may be the secret reason for
reluctance by the powers on high.
CC me if you want me to see your reply as I am not on the list.
