3. Call __swizzle_addr*() _after_ adding mips_io_port_base. This

Since tfm contexts can contain arbitrary types we should provide at least
natural alignment (__attribute__ ((__aligned__))) for them. In particular,
this is needed on the Xscale which is a 32-bit architecture with a u64 type
that requires 64-bit alignment. This problem was reported by Ronen Shitrit.
The crypto_tfm structure's size was 44 bytes on 32-bit architectures and
80 bytes on 64-bit architectures. So adding this requirement only means
that we have to add an extra 4 bytes on 32-bit architectures.
On i386 the natural alignment is 16 bytes which also benefits the VIA
Padlock as it no longer has to manually align its context structure to
128 bits.

We're now starting to have quite a number of places that do skb_pull
followed immediately by an skb_postpull_rcsum. We can merge these two
operations into one function with skb_pull_rcsum. This makes sense
since most pull operations on receive skb's need to update the
checksum.
I've decided to make this out-of-line since it is fairly big and the
fast path where hardware checksums are enabled need to call
csum_partial anyway.
Since this is a brand new function we get to add an extra check on the
len argument. As it is most callers of skb_pull ignore its return
value which essentially means that there is no check on the len

The typedef for dn_address has been removed in favour of using __le16
or __u16 directly as appropriate. All the DECnet header files are
updated accordingly.
The byte ordering of dn_eth2dn() and dn_dn2eth() are both changed
since just about all their callers wanted network order rather than
host order, so the conversion is now done in the functions themselves.
Several missed endianess conversions have been picked up during the
conversion process. The nh_gw field in struct dn_fib_info has been
changed from a 32 bit field to 16 bits as it ought to be.
One or two cases of using htons rather than dn_htons in the routing

This patch implements an application of the LSM-IPSec networking
controls whereby an application can determine the label of the
security association its TCP or UDP sockets are currently connected to
via getsockopt and the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.
Patch purpose:
This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
security context of an IPSec security association a particular TCP or
UDP socket is using. The application can then use this security
context to determine the security context for processing on behalf of
the peer at the other end of this connection. In the case of UDP, the
security context is for each individual packet. An example
application is the inetd daemon, which could be modified to start
daemons running at security contexts dependent on the remote client.
Patch design approach:
- Design for TCP
The patch enables the SELinux LSM to set the peer security context for
a socket based on the security context of the IPSec security
association. The application may retrieve this context using
getsockopt. When called, the kernel determines if the socket is a
connected (TCP_ESTABLISHED) TCP socket and, if so, uses the dst_entry
cache on the socket to retrieve the security associations. If a
security association has a security context, the context string is
returned, as for UNIX domain sockets.
- Design for UDP
Unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless. This requires a somewhat different
API to retrieve the peer security context. With TCP, the peer
security context stays the same throughout the connection, thus it can
be retrieved at any time between when the connection is established
and when it is torn down. With UDP, each read/write can have
different peer and thus the security context might change every time.
As a result the security context retrieval must be done TOGETHER with
the packet retrieval.
The solution is to build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
retrieving user credentials. Linux offers the API for obtaining user
credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
that are bundled together with a normal message).
Patch implementation details:
- Implementation for TCP
The security context can be retrieved by applications using getsockopt
with the existing SO_PEERSEC flag. As an example (ignoring error
checking):
getsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEERSEC, optbuf, &optlen);
printf("Socket peer context is: %s\n", optbuf);
The SELinux function, selinux_socket_getpeersec, is extended to check
for labeled security associations for connected (TCP_ESTABLISHED ==
sk->sk_state) TCP sockets only. If so, the socket has a dst_cache of
struct dst_entry values that may refer to security associations. If
these have security associations with security contexts, the security
context is returned.
getsockopt returns a buffer that contains a security context string or
the buffer is unmodified.
- Implementation for UDP
To retrieve the security context, the application first indicates to
the kernel such desire by setting the IP_PASSSEC option via
getsockopt. Then the application retrieves the security context using
the auxiliary data mechanism.
An example server application for UDP should look like this:
toggle = 1;
toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_IP, IP_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_IP &&
cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
}
}
ip_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option IP_PASSSEC to allow
a server socket to receive security context of the peer. A new
ancillary message type SCM_SECURITY.
When the packet is received we get the security context from the
sec_path pointer which is contained in the sk_buff, and copy it to the
ancillary message space. An additional LSM hook,
selinux_socket_getpeersec_udp, is defined to retrieve the security
context from the SELinux space. The existing function,
selinux_socket_getpeersec does not suit our purpose, because the
security context is copied directly to user space, rather than to
kernel space.
Testing:
We have tested the patch by setting up TCP and UDP connections between
applications on two machines using the IPSec policies that result in
labeled security associations being built. For TCP, we can then
extract the peer security context using getsockopt on either end. For
UDP, the receiving end can retrieve the security context using the
auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

struct neigh_ops currently has a destructor field, which no in-kernel

the second-stage lookup from ARP results to real link-level path), and
it uses neigh->ops->destructor to get a callback so it can clean up
this extra info when a neighbour is freed. We've run into problems
with this: since the destructor is in an ops field that is shared
between neighbours that may belong to different net devices, there's
no way to set/clear it safely.

The bridge netfilter code simulates the NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING hook and skips
the real hook by registering with high priority and returning NF_STOP if
skb->nf_bridge is present and the BRNF_NF_BRIDGE_PREROUTING flag is not
set. The flag is only set during the simulated hook.
Because skb->nf_bridge is only freed when the packet is destroyed, the
packet will not only skip the first invocation of NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING, but
in the case of tunnel devices on top of the bridge also all further ones.
Forwarded packets from a bridge encapsulated by a tunnel device and sent
as locally outgoing packet will also still have the incorrect bridge
information from the input path attached.
We already have nf_reset calls on all RX/TX paths of tunnel devices,
so simply reset the nf_bridge field there too. As an added bonus,
the bridge information for locally delivered packets is now also freed
when the packet is queued to a socket.

Add support for sending and receiving large RMPP transfers. The old

memory allocation. This patch uses linked list of memory buffers when
sending and receiving data to avoid needing contiguous pages for
larger transfers.
Receive side: copy the arriving MADs in chunks instead of coalescing
to one large buffer in kernel space.
Send side: split a multipacket MAD buffer to a list of segments,
(multipacket_list) and send these using a gather list of size 2.
Also, save pointer to last sent segment, and retrieve requested
segments by walking list starting at last sent segment. Finally,
save pointer to last-acked segment. When retrying, retrieve
segments for resending relative to this pointer. When updating last
ack, start at this pointer.

This is good for up to %50 performance improvement of some test cases.
The problem has been the race conditions, and hopefully I've plugged
them all up here.
1) There was a serious race in switch_mm() wrt. lazy TLB
switching to and from kernel threads.
We could erroneously skip a tsb_context_switch() and thus
use a stale TSB across a TSB grow event.
There is a big comment now in that function describing
exactly how it can happen.
2) All code paths that do something with the TSB need to be
guarded with the mm->context.lock spinlock. This makes
page table flushing paths properly synchronize with both
TSB growing and TLB context changes.
3) TSB growing events are moved to the end of successful fault
processing. Previously it was in update_mmu_cache() but
that is deadlock prone. At the end of do_sparc64_fault()
we hold no spinlocks that could deadlock the TSB grow
sequence. We also have dropped the address space semaphore.
While we're here, add prefetching to the copy_tsb() routine
and put it in assembler into the tsb.S file. This piece of
code is quite time critical.
There are some small negative side effects to this code which
can be improved upon. In particular we grab the mm->context.lock
even for the tsb insert done by update_mmu_cache() now and that's
a bit excessive. We can get rid of that locking, and the same
lock taking in flush_tsb_user(), by disabling PSTATE_IE around
the whole operation including the capturing of the tsb pointer
and tsb_nentries value. That would work because anyone growing
the TSB won't free up the old TSB until all cpus respond to the
TSB change cross call.
I'm not quite so confident in that optimization to put it in
right now, but eventually we might be able to and the description
is here for reference.
This code seems very solid now. It passes several parallel GCC
bootstrap builds, and our favorite "nut cruncher" stress test which is
a full "make -j8192" build of a "make allmodconfig" kernel. That puts
about 256 processes on each cpu's run queue, makes lots of process cpu
migrations occur, causes lots of page table and TLB flushing activity,
incurs many context version number changes, and it swaps the machine
real far out to disk even though there is 16GB of ram on this test
system. :-)

There were several bugs in the SUN4V cpu mondo dispatch code.
In fact, if we ever got a EWOULDBLOCK or other error from
the hypervisor call, we'd potentially send a cpu mondo multiple
times to the same cpu and even worse we could loop until the
timeout resending the same mondo over and over to such cpus.
So let's bulletproof this thing as follows:
1) Implement cpu_mondo_send() and cpu_state() hypervisor calls
in arch/sparc64/kernel/entry.S, add prototypes to asm/hypervisor.h
2) Don't build and update the cpulist using inline functions, this
was causing the cpu mask to not get updated in the caller.
3) Disable interrupts during the entire mondo send, otherwise our
cpu list and/or mondo block could get overwritten if we take
an interrupt and do a cpu mondo send on the current cpu.
4) Check for all possible error return types from the cpu_mondo_send()
hypervisor call. In particular:
HV_EOK) Our work is done, all cpus have received the mondo.
HV_CPUERROR) One or more of the cpus in the cpu list we passed
to the hypervisor are in error state. Use cpu_state()
calls over the entries in the cpu list to see which
ones. Record them in "error_mask" and report this
after we are done sending the mondo to cpus which are
not in error state.
HV_EWOULDBLOCK) We need to keep trying.
Any other error we consider fatal, we report the event and exit
immediately.
5) We only timeout if forward progress is not made. Forward progress
is defined as having at least one cpu get the mondo successfully
in a given cpu_mondo_send() call. Otherwise we bump a counter
and delay a little. If the counter hits a limit, we signal an
error and report the event.
Also, smp_call_function_mask() error handling reports the number
of cpus incorrectly.

The context allocation scheme we use depends upon there being a 1<-->1
mapping from cpu to physical TLB for correctness. Chips like Niagara
break this assumption.
So what we do is notify all cpus with a cross call when the context
version number changes, and if necessary this makes them allocate
a valid context for the address space they are running at the time.

Niagara helps us find a ancient bug in the sparc64 port :-)
The ASI_* values are plain constant defines, thus signed 32-bit
on sparc64. To put shift this into the regs->tstate value we were
doing or'ing "(ASI_PNF << 24)" into there.
ASI_PNF is 0x82 and shifted left by 24 makes that topmost bit the
sign bit in a 32-bit value. This would get sign extended to 64-bits
and thus corrupt the top-half of the reg->tstate value.
This never caused problems in pre-Niagara cpus because the only thing
up there were the condition code values. But Niagara has the global
register level field, and this all 1's value is illegal there so
Niagara gives an illegal instruction trap due to this bug.
I'm pretty sure this bug is about as old as the sparc64 port itself.
This also points out that we weren't setting ASI_PNF for 32-bit tasks.
We should, so fix that while we're here.

The sibling cpu bringup is extremely fragile. We can only
perform the most basic calls until we take over the trap
table from the firmware/hypervisor on the new cpu.
This means no accesses to %g4, %g5, %g6 since those can't be
TLB translated without our trap handlers.
In order to achieve this:
1) Change sun4v_init_mondo_queues() so that it can operate in
several modes.
It can allocate the queues, or install them in the current
processor, or both.
The boot cpu does both in it's call early on.
Later, the boot cpu allocates the sibling cpu queue, starts
the sibling cpu, then the sibling cpu loads them in.
2) init_cur_cpu_trap() is changed to take the current_thread_info()
as an argument instead of reading %g6 directly on the current
cpu.
3) Create a trampoline stack for the sibling cpus. We do our basic
kernel calls using this stack, which is locked into the kernel
image, then go to our proper thread stack after taking over the
trap table.
4) While we are in this delicate startup state, we put 0xdeadbeef
into %g4/%g5/%g6 in order to catch accidental accesses.
5) On the final prom_set_trap_table*() call, we put &init_thread_union
into %g6. This is a hack to make prom_world(0) work. All that
wants to do is restore the %asi register using
get_thread_current_ds().
Longer term we should just do the OBP calls to set the trap table by
hand just like we do for everything else. This would avoid that silly
prom_world(0) issue, then we can remove the init_thread_union hack.

They are totally unnecessary because:
1) Interrupts are already disabled when switch_to()
runs.
2) We don't use hard-coded alternate globals any longer.

On uniprocessor, it's always zero for optimize that.
On SMP, the jmpl to the stub kills the return address stack in the cpu
branch prediction logic, so expand the code sequence inline and use a
code patching section to fix things up. This also always better and
explicit register selection, which will be taken advantage of in a
future changeset.
The hard_smp_processor_id() function is big, so do not inline it.

This way we don't need to lock the TSB into the TLB.
The trick is that every TSB load/store is registered into
a special instruction patch section. The default uses
virtual addresses, and the patch instructions use physical
address load/stores.
We can't do this on all chips because only cheetah+ and later
have the physical variant of the atomic quad load.

setup_tsb_parms() computes the locked TLB entry to map the

the physical address for the TSB register value and set
the map virtual and PTE both to zero.

UltraSPARC has special sets of global registers which are switched to
for certain trap types. There is one set for MMU related traps, one
set of Interrupt Vector processing, and another set (called the
Alternate globals) for all other trap types.
For what seems like forever we've hard coded the values in some of
these trap registers. Some examples include:
1) Interrupt Vector global %g6 holds current processors interrupt
work struct where received interrupts are managed for IRQ handler
dispatch.
2) MMU global %g7 holds the base of the page tables of the currently
active address space.
3) Alternate global %g6 held the current_thread_info() value.
Such hardcoding has resulted in some serious issues in many areas.
There are some code sequences where having another register available
would help clean up the implementation. Taking traps such as
cross-calls from the OBP firmware requires some trick code sequences
wherein we have to save away and restore all of the special sets of
global registers when we enter/exit OBP.
We were also using the IMMU TSB register on SMP to hold the per-cpu
area base address, which doesn't work any longer now that we actually
use the TSB facility of the cpu.
The implementation is pretty straight forward. One tricky bit is
getting the current processor ID as that is different on different cpu
variants. We use a stub with a fancy calling convention which we
patch at boot time. The calling convention is that the stub is
branched to and the (PC - 4) to return to is in register %g1. The cpu
number is left in %g6. This stub can be invoked by using the
__GET_CPUID macro.
We use an array of per-cpu trap state to store the current thread and
physical address of the current address space's page tables. The
TRAP_LOAD_THREAD_REG loads %g6 with the current thread from this
table, it uses __GET_CPUID and also clobbers %g1.
TRAP_LOAD_IRQ_WORK is used by the interrupt vector processing to load
the current processor's IRQ software state into %g6. It also uses
__GET_CPUID and clobbers %g1.
Finally, TRAP_LOAD_PGD_PHYS loads the physical address base of the
current address space's page tables into %g7, it clobbers %g1 and uses
__GET_CPUID.
Many refinements are possible, as well as some tuning, with this stuff
in place.

We now use the TSB hardware assist features of the UltraSPARC
MMUs.
SMP is currently knowingly broken, we need to find another place
to store the per-cpu base pointers. We hid them away in the TSB
base register, and that obviously will not work any more :-)
Another known broken case is non-8KB base page size.
Also noticed that flush_tlb_all() is not referenced anywhere, only
the internal __flush_tlb_all() (local cpu only) is used by the
sparc64 port, so we can get rid of flush_tlb_all().
The kernel gets it's own 8KB TSB (swapper_tsb) and each address space
gets it's own private 8K TSB. Later we can add code to dynamically
increase the size of per-process TSB as the RSS grows. An 8KB TSB is
good enough for up to about a 4MB RSS, after which the TSB starts to
incur many capacity and conflict misses.
We even accumulate OBP translations into the kernel TSB.
Another area for refinement is large page size support. We could use
a secondary address space TSB to handle those.

From Dave Johnson <djohnson+linuxmips@sw.starentnetworks.com>:
sb1250_gettimeoffset() simply reads the current cpu 0 timer remaining
value, however once this counter reaches 0 and the interrupt is raised,
it immediately resets and begins to count down again.
If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after
the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and
taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value
(or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles
the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump
forward 1ms.
Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare
timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at
1Mhz with a full 23bit counter. This eliminated the custom
do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic

The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote
per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number
of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms.
Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays.
This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable.
Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and
the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in
cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to
completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The
time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches
are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback
here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer.
Details:
1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification
of the node to drain of pcp pages.
2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA
that manage a per cpu reap_node counter.
3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node.
For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms
cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel
slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor
compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with
the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is
because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
ends up processing it twice.
This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.
I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
options to enable/disable too)

The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched
freeing. For scalability reasons, file accounting was
constructor/destructor based. This meant that nr_files was decremented
only when the object was removed from the slab cache. This is susceptible
to slab fragmentation. With RCU based file structure, consequent batched
freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up
with a very fragmented slab -
llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
587730 0 758844
At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache. The following
patch I fixes this problem.
This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock.
Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all
accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api. In the sysctl handler for
nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user.
Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to
inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU.

This patch adds new tunables for RCU queue and finished batches. There are
two types of controls - number of completed RCU updates invoked in a batch
(blimit) and monitoring for high rate of incoming RCUs on a cpu (qhimark,
qlowmark).
By default, the per-cpu batch limit is set to a small value. If the input
RCU rate exceeds the high watermark, we do two things - force quiescent
state on all cpus and set the batch limit of the CPU to INTMAX. Setting
batch limit to INTMAX forces all finished RCUs to be processed in one shot.
If we have more than INTMAX RCUs queued up, then we have bigger problems
anyway. Once the incoming queued RCUs fall below the low watermark, the
batch limit is set to the default.
