      x86/irq/ioapic: Check for valid irq_cfg pointer in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt · 94777fc5
      Dimitri Sivanich authored 
      

Posting this patch to fix an issue concerning sparse irq's that
I raised a while back.  There was discussion about adding
refcounting to sparse irqs (to fix other potential race
conditions), but that does not appear to have been addressed
yet.  This covers the only issue of this type that I've
encountered in this area.

A NULL pointer dereference can occur in
smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() if we haven't yet setup the
irq_cfg pointer in the irq_desc.irq_data.chip_data.

In create_irq_nr() there is a window where we have set
vector_irq in __assign_irq_vector(), but not yet called
irq_set_chip_data() to set the irq_cfg pointer.

Should an IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR hit the cpu in question during
this time, smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() will attempt to
process the aforementioned irq, but panic when accessing
irq_cfg.

Only continue processing the irq if irq_cfg is non-NULL.

      x86/efi: Fix oops caused by incorrect set_memory_uc() usage · 3e8fa263
      Matt Fleming authored 
      Calling __pa() with an ioremap'd address is invalid. If we
encounter an efi_memory_desc_t without EFI_MEMORY_WB set in
->attribute we currently call set_memory_uc(), which in turn
calls __pa() on a potentially ioremap'd address.

On CONFIG_X86_32 this results in the following oops:

The only time we can call set_memory_uc() for a memory region is
when it is part of the direct kernel mapping. For the case where
we ioremap a memory region we must leave it alone.

This patch reimplements the fix from e8c71062 ("x86, efi:
Calling __pa() with an ioremap()ed address is invalid") which
was reverted in e1ad783b because it caused a regression on
some MacBooks (they hung at boot). The regression was caused
because the commit only marked EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA as
E820_RESERVED_EFI, when it should have marked all regions that
have the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute.

Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use
ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on
CONFIG_X86_64 because of the way that the memory map might be
configured as detailed in the following bug report,

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516



e.g. some of the EFI memory regions *need* to be mapped as part
of the direct kernel mapping.

      x86-64: Fix page table accounting · 876ee61a
      Jan Beulich authored 
      Commit 20167d34

 ("x86-64: Fix
accounting in kernel_physical_mapping_init()") went a little too
far by entirely removing the counting of pre-populated page
tables: this should be done at boot time (to cover the page
tables set up in early boot code), but shouldn't be done during
memory hot add.

Hence, re-add the removed increments of "pages", but make them
and the one in phys_pte_init() conditional upon !after_bootmem.

      Commit:

   722bc6b1 x86/mm: Fix the size calculation of mapping tables

Tried to address the issue that the first 2/4M should use 4k pages
if PSE enabled, but extra counts should only be valid for x86_32.

This commit caused a kdump regression: the kdump kernel hangs.

Work is in progress to fundamentally fix the various page table
initialization issues that we have, via the design suggested
by H. Peter Anvin, but it's not ready yet to be merged.

So, to get a working kdump revert to the last known working version,
which is the revert of this commit and of a followup fix (which was
incomplete):

   bd2753b2

 x86/mm: Only add extra pages count for the first memory range during pre-allocation

Tested kdump on physical and virtual machines.
