sysfs/cpu: Add vulnerability folder

2018-01-17T08:38:57Z

commit 87590ce6e373d1a5401f6539f0c59ef92dd924a9 upstream. As the meltdown/spectre problem affects several CPU architectures, it makes sense to have common way to express whether a system is affected by a particular vulnerability or not. If affected the way to express the mitigation should be common as well. Create /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities folder and files for meltdown, spectre_v1 and spectre_v2. Allow architectures to override the show function.

cpu: clean up register_cpu func

2016-08-31T13:19:55Z

This patch could reduce one branch in this function. Also make the code more readble. Signed-off-by: Alex Shi Acked-by: Daniel Lezcano To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: linux-pm@vger.kernel.org Cc: Ulf Hansson Cc: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers/base/cpu.c: use __cpu_*_mask directly

2016-01-21T01:09:18Z

The only user of the lvalue-ness of the cpu_*_mask variables is in drivers/base/cpu.c, and that is mostly a work-around for the fact that not even const variables can be used in static initialization. Now that the underlying struct cpumasks are exposed we can take their address.

cpu: Remove bogus __ref annotation of cpu_subsys_online()

2015-08-05T22:18:26Z

In commit 0db0628d9012 ("kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files") cpu_up() lost its __cpuinit annotation, vanishing the need for cpu_subsys_online() to have a __ref annotation. Just drop it to be able to catch real section mismatches in the future. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Cc: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

show nohz_full cpus in sysfs

2015-05-20T07:15:09Z

Currently there is no way to query which CPUs are in nohz_full mode from userspace. Export the CPU list running in nohz_full mode in sysfs, specifically in the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/nohz_full This can be used by system management tools like libvirt, openstack, and others to ensure proper task placement.

show isolated cpus in sysfs

2015-05-20T07:15:06Z

After system bootup, there is no totally reliable way to see which CPUs are isolated, because the kernel may modify the CPUs specified on the isolcpus= kernel command line option. Export the CPU list that actually got isolated in sysfs, specifically in the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/isolated This can be used by system management tools like libvirt, openstack, and others to ensure proper placement of tasks.

drivers/base: use %*pb[l] to print bitmaps including cpumasks and nodemasks

2015-02-14T05:21:38Z

printk and friends can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]'. cpumask and nodemask also provide cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args() respectively which can be used to generate the two printf arguments necessary to format the specified cpu/nodemask. * Line termination only requires one extra space at the end of the buffer. Use PAGE_SIZE - 1 instead of PAGE_SIZE - 2 when formatting. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

drivers: base: add cpu_device_create to support per-cpu devices

2014-11-07T19:45:00Z

This patch adds a new function to create per-cpu devices. This helps in: 1. reusing the device infrastructure to create any cpu related attributes and corresponding sysfs instead of creating and dealing with raw kobjects directly 2. retaining the legacy path(/sys/devices/system/cpu/..) to support existing sysfs ABI 3. avoiding to create links in the bus directory pointing to the device as there would be per-cpu instance of these devices with the same name since dev->bus is not populated to cpu_sysbus on purpose Signed-off-by: Sudeep Holla Tested-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: David Herrmann Cc: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cpumask: factor out show_cpumap into separate helper function

2014-11-07T19:45:00Z

Many sysfs *_show function use cpu{list,mask}_scnprintf to copy cpumap to the buffer aligned to PAGE_SIZE, append '\n' and '\0' to return null terminated buffer with newline. This patch creates a new helper function cpumap_print_to_pagebuf in cpumask.h using newly added bitmap_print_to_pagebuf and consolidates most of those sysfs functions using the new helper function.

x86: align x86 arch with generic CPU modalias handling

2014-02-18T20:45:38Z

The x86 CPU feature modalias handling existed before it was reimplemented generically. This patch aligns the x86 handling so that it (a) reuses some more code that is now generic; (b) uses the generic format for the modalias module metadata entry, i.e., it now uses 'cpu:type:x86,venVVVVfamFFFFmodMMMM:feature:,XXXX,YYYY' instead of the 'x86cpu:vendor:VVVV:family:FFFF:model:MMMM:feature:,XXXX,YYYY' that was used before.
