Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina:
"Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in
this pile.
Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented
stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel. This project got
later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a
proprietary service, without any intentions to have their
implementation merged.
Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE
started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each
other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2].
The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are
making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it
comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic
nature of the change that is being introduced.
In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at
stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system
is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code
redirection machinery to the patched functions.
On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one
single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy
contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the
"patched" one at safe checkpoints.
If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency
models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that
evolved around [3].
It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's
absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions
for one task to co-exist in the kernel. During a dedicated Live
Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties
sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both
distro vendors. Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting.
And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull
request.
It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e.
code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the
actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the
patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc).
It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of
existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible.
It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in
any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code).
It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but
support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding
arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about
regs-saving).
Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE
have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on
top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code. The plan basically is
that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which
consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been
sketched out already in the thread at [3]).
Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large
group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too
complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of
function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data
structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION &&
SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].
This tree has been in linux-next since December.

[ The core code is introduced by the three commits authored by Seth
Jennings, which got a lot of changes incorporated during numerous
respins and reviews of the initial implementation. All the followup
commits have materialized only after public tree has been created,
so they were not folded into initial three commits so that the
public tree doesn't get rebased ]"

entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT

boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps

the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot

IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the

kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this

way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise

the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring

Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
|
|
However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
|
|
Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
|
|
physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
|
|
kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
|
|
"high memory".
|
|
|
|
If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
|
|
more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
|
|
choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
|
|
split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
|
|
space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
|
|
by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
|
|
answer "4GB" here.
|
|
|
|
If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
|
|
selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
|
|
PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
|
|
supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
|
|
processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
|
|
then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
|
|
|
|
The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
|
|
auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
|
|
such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
|
|
your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.

|
must not use, so that page must always be reserved.
|
|
|
|
By default we reserve the first 64K of physical RAM, as a
|
|
number of BIOSes are known to corrupt that memory range
|
|
during events such as suspend/resume or monitor cable
|
|
insertion, so it must not be used by the kernel.
|
|
|
|
You can set this to 4 if you are absolutely sure that you
|
|
trust the BIOS to get all its memory reservations and usages
|
|
right. If you know your BIOS have problems beyond the
|
|
default 64K area, you can set this to 640 to avoid using the
|
|
entire low memory range.
|
|
|
|
If you have doubts about the BIOS (e.g. suspend/resume does
|
|
not work or there's kernel crashes after certain hardware
|
|
hotplug events) then you might want to enable
|
|
X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y to allow the kernel to check
|
|
typical corruption patterns.
|
|
|
|
Leave this to the default value of 64 if you are unsure.

config MATH_EMULATION

prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
|
|
---help---
|
|
Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
|
|
operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
|
|
a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
|
|
a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
|
|
give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
|
|
coprocessor or this emulation.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
|
|
say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
|
|
be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
|
|
command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
|
|
is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
|
|
loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
|
|
boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
|
|
intend to use this kernel on different machines.
|
|
|
|
More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
|
|
emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
|
|
|
|
If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
|
|
kernel, it won't hurt.

config MTRR

prompt "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" if EXPERT
|
|
---help---
|
|
On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
|
|
the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
|
|
processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
|
|
a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
|
|
allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
|
|
before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
|
|
of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
|
|
/proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
|
|
MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
|
|
|
|
This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
|
|
control registers on other processors can be easily supported
|
|
as well:
|
|
|
|
The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
|
|
Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
|
|
these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
|
|
The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
|
|
MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
|
|
write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
|
|
and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
|
|
|
|
Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
|
|
set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
|
|
can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
|
|
|
|
You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
|
|
just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
|
|
|
|
If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
|
|
bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
|
|
run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
|
|
it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
|
|
address.
|
|
|
|
In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
|
|
as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
|
|
(CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
|
|
address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
|
|
to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
|
|
vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
|
|
to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
|
|
(normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
|
|
|
|
So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
|
|
leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
|
|
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
|
|
for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
|
|
the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
|
|
the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
|
|
command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
|
|
kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
|
|
for more details about crash dumps.
|
|
|
|
Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
|
|
one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
|
|
as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
|
|
gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
|
|
is present because there are users out there who continue to use
|
|
vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
|
|
line.

Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

---help---
|

Certain buggy versions of glibc will crash if they are

|
presented with a 32-bit vDSO that is not mapped at the address
|
|
indicated in its segment table.
|
|
|
|
The bug was introduced by f866314b89d56845f55e6f365e18b31ec978ec3a
|
|
and fixed by 3b3ddb4f7db98ec9e912ccdf54d35df4aa30e04a and
|
|
49ad572a70b8aeb91e57483a11dd1b77e31c4468. Glibc 2.3.3 is
|
|
the only released version with the bug, but OpenSUSE 9
|
|
contains a buggy "glibc 2.3.2".
|
|
|
|
The symptom of the bug is that everything crashes on startup, saying:
|
|
dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
|
|
|
|
Saying Y here changes the default value of the vdso32 boot
|
|
option from 1 to 0, which turns off the 32-bit vDSO entirely.
|
|
This works around the glibc bug but hurts performance.

|

are unlikely to be using a buggy version of glibc.

|
|
APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
|
|
techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
|
|
APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
|
|
reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
|
|
battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
|
|
notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
|
|
|
|
If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
|
|
BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
|
|
|
|
Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
|
|
machines with more than one CPU.
|
|
|
|
In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
|
|
and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.txt>
|
|
and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
|
|
|
This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
|
|
manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
|
|
VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
|
|
|
|
This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
|
|
486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
|
|
desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
|
|
may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
|
|
|
|
Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
|
|
much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
|
|
random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
|
|
anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
|
|
APM in your BIOS).
|
|
|
|
Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
|
|
"weird" problems:
|
|
|
|
1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
|
|
enabled.
|
|
2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
|
|
3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
|
|
the "no387" option to the kernel
|
|
4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
|
|
5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
|
|
all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
|
|
6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
|
|
7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
|
|
8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
|
|
9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
|
|
10) install a better fan for the CPU
|
|
11) exchange RAM chips
|
|
12) exchange the motherboard.

|

This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this

feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
|
|
should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
|
|
will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn

this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
|

support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn

this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
|
|
a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
|
|
are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
|
|
333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

this option does nothing.)

the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
|

when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to

|
do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
|
|
used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
|
|
modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
|
|
drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
|
|
If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
|
|
marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
|
|
|
|
Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
|
|
not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
|
|
is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
|
|
replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
|
|
with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
|
|
and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
|
|
incompatible with simplefb.

If unsure, say Y.
