x86, efi: Don't map Boot Services on i386

2013-10-05T14:17:55Z

commit 700870119f49084da004ab588ea2b799689efaf7 upstream. Add patch to fix 32bit EFI service mapping (rhbz 726701) Multiple people are reporting hitting the following WARNING on i386, WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:102 __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440() Modules linked in: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.9.0-rc7+ #95 Call Trace: [] warn_slowpath_common+0x5f/0x80 [] ? __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440 [] ? __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440 [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 [] __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440 [] ? get_usage_chars+0xfb/0x110 [] ? vprintk_emit+0x147/0x480 [] ? efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1e4/0x3de [] ioremap_cache+0x1a/0x20 [] ? efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1e4/0x3de [] efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1e4/0x3de [] start_kernel+0x286/0x2f4 [] ? repair_env_string+0x51/0x51 [] i386_start_kernel+0x12c/0x12f Due to the workaround described in commit 916f676f8 ("x86, efi: Retain boot service code until after switching to virtual mode") EFI Boot Service regions are mapped for a period during boot. Unfortunately, with the limited size of the i386 direct kernel map it's possible that some of the Boot Service regions will not be directly accessible, which causes them to be ioremap()'d, triggering the above warning as the regions are marked as E820_RAM in the e820 memmap. There are currently only two situations where we need to map EFI Boot Service regions, 1. To workaround the firmware bug described in 916f676f8 2. To access the ACPI BGRT image but since we haven't seen an i386 implementation that requires either, this simple fix should suffice for now.

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin: "Trying again to get the fixes queue, including the fixed IDT alignment patch. The UEFI patch is by far the biggest issue at hand: it is currently causing quite a few machines to boot. Which is sad, because the only reason they would is because their BIOSes touch memory that has already been freed. The other major issue is that we finally have tracked down the root cause of a significant number of machines failing to suspend/resume" * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86: Make sure IDT is page aligned x86, suspend: Handle CPUs which fail to #GP on RDMSR x86/platform/ce4100: Add header file for reboot type Revert "UEFI: Don't pass boot services regions to SetVirtualAddressMap()" efivars: check for EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES

x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files

2013-07-14T23:36:56Z

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

Though this results in an handful of trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross tree merge dependencies.
