selftests/x86/ldt_gdt_32: Work around a glibc sigaction() bug

2017-05-20T12:26:59+00:00

commit 65973dd3fd31151823f4b8c289eebbb3fb7e6bc0 upstream.

i386 glibc is buggy and calls the sigaction syscall incorrectly.

This is asymptomatic for normal programs, but it blows up on
programs that do evil things with segmentation.  The ldt_gdt
self-test is an example of such an evil program.

This doesn't appear to be a regression -- I think I just got lucky
with the uninitialized memory that glibc threw at the kernel when I
wrote the test.

This hackish fix manually issues sigaction(2) syscalls to undo the
damage.  Without the fix, ldt_gdt_32 segfaults; with the fix, it
passes for me.

cpupower: Fix turbo frequency reporting for pre-Sandy Bridge cores

2017-05-14T11:32:54+00:00

commit 4cca0457686e4ee1677d69469e4ddfd94d389a80 upstream.

The switch that conditionally sets CPUPOWER_CAP_HAS_TURBO_RATIO and
CPUPOWER_CAP_IS_SNB flags is missing a break, so all cores get both
flags set and an assumed base clock of 100 MHz for turbo values.

Tools: hv: kvp: ensure kvp device fd is closed on exec

2017-04-27T07:09:33+00:00

commit 26840437cbd6d3625ea6ab34e17cd34bb810c861 upstream.

KVP daemon does fork()/exec() (with popen()) so we need to close our fds
to avoid sharing them with child processes. The immediate implication of
not doing so I see is SELinux complaining about 'ip' trying to access
'/dev/vmbus/hv_kvp'.

give up on gcc ilog2() constant optimizations

2017-03-26T10:13:18+00:00

commit 474c90156c8dcc2fa815e6716cc9394d7930cb9c upstream.

gcc-7 has an "optimization" pass that completely screws up, and
generates the code expansion for the (impossible) case of calling
ilog2() with a zero constant, even when the code gcc compiles does not
actually have a zero constant.

And we try to generate a compile-time error for anybody doing ilog2() on
a constant where that doesn't make sense (be it zero or negative).  So
now gcc7 will fail the build due to our sanity checking, because it
created that constant-zero case that didn't actually exist in the source
code.

There's a whole long discussion on the kernel mailing about how to work
around this gcc bug.  The gcc people themselevs have discussed their
"feature" in

   https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72785

but it's all water under the bridge, because while it looked at one
point like it would be solved by the time gcc7 was released, that was
not to be.

So now we have to deal with this compiler braindamage.

And the only simple approach seems to be to just delete the code that
tries to warn about bad uses of ilog2().

So now "ilog2()" will just return 0 not just for the value 1, but for
any non-positive value too.

It's not like I can recall anybody having ever actually tried to use
this function on any invalid value, but maybe the sanity check just
meant that such code never made it out in public.

perf build: Fix traceevent plugins build race

2016-11-10T15:36:36+00:00

commit 67befc652845c8ffbefc8d173a6e6ced14d472f1 upstream.

Ingo reported following build failure:

  $ make clean install
  ...
    CC       plugin_kmem.o
  fixdep: error opening depfile: ./.plugin_hrtimer.o.d: No such file or directory
  /home/mingo/tip/tools/build/Makefile.build:77: recipe for target
  'plugin_hrtimer.o' failed
  make[3]: *** [plugin_hrtimer.o] Error 2
  Makefile:189: recipe for target 'plugin_hrtimer-in.o' failed
  make[2]: *** [plugin_hrtimer-in.o] Error 2
  Makefile.perf:414: recipe for target 'libtraceevent_plugins' failed
  make[1]: *** [libtraceevent_plugins] Error 2
  make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Currently we have the install-traceevent-plugins target being dependent
on $(LIBTRACEEVENT), which will actualy not build any plugin. So the
install-traceevent-plugins target itself will try to build plugins,
but..

Plugins built is also triggered by perf build itself via
libtraceevent_plugins target.

This might cause a race having one make thread removing temp files from
another and result in above error. Fixing this by having proper plugins
build dependency before installing plugins.
