I suspect that without this fix, with the enhanced hotplug and kprobes patch, kprobes will use text_poke to insert breakpoints in modules (vmalloced pages used), which will map the wrong pages and corrupt random kernel locations instead of updating the correct page. Work that would write protect the module pages should clearly be done, but it can come in a later time. We have to make sure we interact correctly with the page allocation debugging, as an example. Here is the patch against x86.git 2.6.25-rc5 : The shadow vmap for DEBUG_RODATA kernel text modification uses virt_to_page to get the pages from the pointer address. However, I think vmalloc_to_page would be required in case the page is used for modules. Since only the core kernel text is marked read-only, use kernel_text_address() to make sure we only shadow map the core kernel text, not modules.

Fix a memcpy that should be a text_poke (in apply_alternatives). Use kernel_wp_save/kernel_wp_restore in text_poke to support DEBUG_RODATA correctly and so the CPU HOTPLUG special case can be removed. Add text_poke_early, for alternatives and paravirt boot-time and module load time patching. Changelog: - Fix text_set and text_poke alignment check (mixed up bitwise and and or) - Remove text_set - Export add_nops, so it can be used by others. - Document text_poke_early. - Remove clflush, since it breaks some VIA architectures and is not strictly necessary. - Add kerneldoc to text_poke and text_poke_early. - Create a second vmap instead of using the WP bit to support Xen and VMI. - Move local_irq disable within text_poke and text_poke_early to be able to be sleepable in these functions.

gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type. The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when executing this code. This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the original section. Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel. ;-) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

On VMs implemented using JITs that cache translated code changing the lock prefixes is a quite costly operation that forces the JIT to throw away and retranslate a lot of code. Previously a SMP kernel would rewrite the locks once for each CPU which is quite unnecessary. This patch changes the code to never switch at boot in the normal case (SMP kernel booting with >1 CPU) or only once for SMP kernel on UP. This makes a significant difference in boot up performance on AMD SimNow! Also I expect it to be a little faster on native systems too because a smp switch does a lot of text_poke()s which each synchronize the pipeline. v1->v2: Rename max_cpus v1->v2: Fix off by one in UP check (Thomas Gleixner) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus. When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes 3,145,728 bytes. These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo(). cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP case.

This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of functionally related ops: pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too) pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else pv_time_ops - time-related functions pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state pv_apic_ops - APIC operations pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables There are several motivations for this: 1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be i386/x86-64 specific. This makes it easier to share common stuff while allowing separate implementations where needed. 2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only need selected parts of it. This allows us to export on a case by case basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply). 3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable. Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting into jmp/calls when patching. It is only instantiated when needed.
