Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

The latest UV platforms include the new ApachePass NVDIMMs into the
UV address space. This has introduced address ranges in the Global
Address Map Table that are less than the previous lowest range, which
was 2GB. Fix the address calculation so it accommodates address ranges
from bytes to exabytes.

When a physical CPU is hot-removed, the following warning messages
are shown while the uncore device is removed in uncore_pci_remove():

When uncore_pci_remove() runs, it tries to get the package ID to
clear the value of uncore_extra_pci_dev[].dev[] by using
topology_phys_to_logical_pkg(). The warning messesages are
shown because topology_phys_to_logical_pkg() returns -1.
arch/x86/events/intel/uncore.c:
static void uncore_pci_remove(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
...
phys_id = uncore_pcibus_to_physid(pdev->bus);
...
pkg = topology_phys_to_logical_pkg(phys_id); // returns -1
for (i = 0; i < UNCORE_EXTRA_PCI_DEV_MAX; i++) {
if (uncore_extra_pci_dev[pkg].dev[i] == pdev) {
uncore_extra_pci_dev[pkg].dev[i] = NULL;
break;
}
}
WARN_ON_ONCE(i >= UNCORE_EXTRA_PCI_DEV_MAX); // <=========== HERE!!
topology_phys_to_logical_pkg() tries to find
cpuinfo_x86->phys_proc_id that matches the phys_pkg argument.
arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c:
int topology_phys_to_logical_pkg(unsigned int phys_pkg)
{
int cpu;
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
struct cpuinfo_x86 *c = &cpu_data(cpu);
if (c->initialized && c->phys_proc_id == phys_pkg)
return c->logical_proc_id;
}
return -1;
}
However, the phys_proc_id was already set to 0 by remove_siblinginfo()
when the CPU was offlined.
So, topology_phys_to_logical_pkg() cannot find the correct
logical_proc_id and always returns -1.
As the result, uncore_pci_remove() calls WARN_ON_ONCE() and the warning
messages are shown.
What is worse is that the bogus 'pkg' index results in two bugs:
- We dereference uncore_extra_pci_dev[] with a negative index
- We fail to clean up a stale pointer in uncore_extra_pci_dev[][]
To fix these bugs, remove the clearing of ->phys_proc_id from remove_siblinginfo().
This should not cause any problems, because ->phys_proc_id is not
used after it is hot-removed and it is re-set while hot-adding.

Commit:
df04abfd181a ("fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data")
... introduced a bounce buffer to work around CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y.
However, accessing the vsyscall user page will cause an SMAP fault.
Replace memcpy() with copy_from_user() to fix this bug works, but adding
a common way to handle this sort of user page may be useful for future.
Currently, only vsyscall page requires KCORE_USER.

Clean up various aspects of the x86 CONFIG_NR_CPUS configuration switches:
- Rename the three CONFIG_NR_CPUS related variables to create a common
namespace for them:
RANGE_BEGIN_CPUS => NR_CPUS_RANGE_BEGIN
RANGE_END_CPUS => NR_CPUS_RANGE_END
DEF_CONFIG_CPUS => NR_CPUS_DEFAULT
- Align them vertically, such as:
config NR_CPUS_RANGE_END
int
depends on X86_64
default 8192 if SMP && ( MAXSMP || CPUMASK_OFFSTACK)
default 512 if SMP && (!MAXSMP && !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK)
default 1 if !SMP
- Update help text, add more comments.

Clean up and simplify the X86 NR_CPUS Kconfig symbol/option by
introducing RANGE_BEGIN_CPUS, RANGE_END_CPUS, and DEF_CONFIG_CPUS.
Then combine some default values when their conditionals can be
reduced.
Also move the X86_BIGSMP kconfig option inside an "if X86_32"/"endif"
config block and drop its explicit "depends on X86_32".
Combine the max. 8192 cases of RANGE_END_CPUS (X86_64 only).
Split RANGE_END_CPUS and DEF_CONFIG_CPUS into separate cases for
X86_32 and X86_64.
