Fix built-in early-load Intel microcode alignment

2020-01-15T19:50:37Z

Intel Software Developer's Manual, volume 3, chapter 9.11.6 says: "Note that the microcode update must be aligned on a 16-byte boundary and the size of the microcode update must be 1-KByte granular" When early-load Intel microcode is loaded from initramfs, userspace tool 'iucode_tool' has already 16-byte aligned those microcode bits in that initramfs image. Image that was created something like this: iucode_tool --write-earlyfw=FOO.cpio microcode-files... However, when early-load Intel microcode is loaded from built-in firmware BLOB using CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE= kernel config option, that 16-byte alignment is not guaranteed. Fix this by forcing all built-in firmware BLOBs to 16-byte alignment. [ If we end up having other firmware with much bigger alignment requirements, we might need to introduce some method for the firmware to specify it, this is the minimal "just increase the alignment a bit to account for this one special case" patch - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Jari Ruusu Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: Luis Chamberlain Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

2019-12-15T19:36:12Z

Pull ksys_mount() and ksys_dup() removal from Dominik Brodowski: "This small series replaces all in-kernel calls to the userspace-focused ksys_mount() and ksys_dup() with calls to kernel-centric functions: For each replacement of ksys_mount() with do_mount(), one needs to verify that the first and third parameter (char *dev_name, char *type) are strings allocated in kernelspace and that the fifth parameter (void *data) is either NULL or refers to a full page (only occurence in init/do_mounts.c::do_mount_root()). The second and fourth parameters (char *dir_name, unsigned long flags) are passed by ksys_mount() to do_mount() unchanged, and therefore do not require particular care. Moreover, instead of pretending to be userspace, the opening of /dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr can be implemented using in-kernel functions as well. Thereby, ksys_dup() can be removed for good" [ This doesn't get rid of the special "kernel init runs with KERNEL_DS" case, but it at least removes _some_ of the users of "treat kernel pointers as user pointers for our magical init sequence". One day we'll hopefully be rid of it all, and can initialize our init_thread addr_limit to USER_DS. - Linus ] * 'remove-ksys-mount-dup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux: fs: remove ksys_dup() init: unify opening /dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr init: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount() initrd: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount() devtmpfs: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()

devtmpfs: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()

2019-12-12T13:49:57Z

In devtmpfs, do_mount() can be called directly instead of complex wrapping by ksys_mount(): - the first and third arguments are const strings in the kernel, and do not need to be copied over from userspace; - the fifth argument is NULL, and therefore no page needs to be copied over from userspace; - the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway.

drivers: Fix boot problem on SuperH

2019-12-10T14:51:20Z

SuperH images crash too eearly to display any console output. Bisect points to commit 507fd01d5333 ("drivers: move the early platform device support to arch/sh"). An analysis of that patch suggests that early_platform_cleanup() is now called at the wrong time. Restoring its call point fixes the problem.

mm/vmstat: add helpers to get vmstat item names for each enum type

2019-12-05T03:44:11Z

Statistics in vmstat is combined from counters with different structure, but names for them are merged into one array. This patch adds trivial helpers to get name for each item: const char *zone_stat_name(enum zone_stat_item item); const char *numa_stat_name(enum numa_stat_item item); const char *node_stat_name(enum node_stat_item item); const char *writeback_stat_name(enum writeback_stat_item item); const char *vm_event_name(enum vm_event_item item); Names for enum writeback_stat_item are folded in the middle of vmstat_text so this patch moves declaration into header to calculate offset of following items. Also this patch reuses piece of node stat names for lru list names: const char *lru_list_name(enum lru_list lru); This returns common lru list names: "inactive_anon", "active_anon", "inactive_file", "active_file", "unevictable".

drivers/base/memory.c: drop the mem_sysfs_mutex

2019-12-01T20:59:04Z

The mem_sysfs_mutex isn't really helpful. Also, it's not really clear what the mutex protects at all. The device lists of the memory subsystem are protected separately. We don't need that mutex when looking up. creating, or removing independent devices. find_memory_block_by_id() will perform locking on its own and grab a reference of the returned device. At the time memory_dev_init() is called, we cannot have concurrent hot(un)plug operations yet - we're still fairly early during boot. We don't need any locking. The creation/removal of memory block devices should be protected on a higher level - especially using the device hotplug lock to avoid documented issues (see Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst) - or if that is reworked, using similar locking. Protecting in the context of these functions only doesn't really make sense. Especially, if we would have a situation where the same memory blocks are created/deleted at the same time, there is something horribly going wrong (imagining adding/removing a DIMM at the same time from two call paths) - after the functions succeeded something else in the callers would blow up (e.g., create_memory_block_devices() succeeded but there are no memory block devices anymore). All relevant call paths (except when adding memory early during boot via ACPI, which is now documented) hold the device hotplug lock when adding memory, and when removing memory. Let's document that instead. Add a simple safety net to create_memory_block_devices() in case we would actually remove memory blocks while adding them, so we'll never dereference a NULL pointer. Simplify memory_dev_init() now that the lock is gone.

mm, soft-offline: convert parameter to pfn

2019-12-01T20:59:04Z

Currently soft_offline_page() receives struct page, and its sibling memory_failure() receives pfn. This discrepancy looks weird and makes precheck on pfn validity tricky. So let's align them.
