| * | x86, pat: fix warn_on_once() while mapping 0-1MB range with /dev/memSuresh Siddha2009-02-12

And also, fix reserve_pfn_range() to return -EINVAL, when the pfn range is RAM. This is to be consistent with this API design.

| * | x86/cpa: make sure cpa is safe to call in lazy mmu modeJeremy Fitzhardinge2009-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix race leading to crash under KVM and Xen The CPA code may be called while we're in lazy mmu update mode - for example, when using DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC and doing a slab allocation in an interrupt handler which interrupted a lazy mmu update. In this case, the in-memory pagetable state may be out of date due to pending queued updates. We need to flush any pending updates before inspecting the page table. Similarly, we must explicitly flush any modifications CPA may have made (which comes down to flushing queued operations when flushing the TLB).

| * | x86, ptrace, mm: fix double-free on raceMarkus Metzger2009-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ptrace_detach() races with __ptrace_unlink() if the traced task is reaped while detaching. This might cause a double-free of the BTS buffer. Change the ptrace_detach() path to only do the memory accounting in ptrace_bts_detach() and leave the buffer free to ptrace_bts_untrace() which will be called from __ptrace_unlink(). The fix follows a proposal from Oleg Nesterov. Reported-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

As the folowing discussion reports, the new logic was not correct. mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() goes through each LMB on the system that specifies a reserved area. It searches for active regions that intersect with that LMB and are on the specified node. It attempts to bootmem-reserve only the area where the active region and the reserved LMB intersect. We can not reserve things on other nodes as they may not have bootmem structures allocated, yet. We base the size of the bootmem reservation on two possible things. Normally, we just make the reservation start and stop exactly at the start and end of the LMB. However, the LMB reservations are not aware of NUMA nodes and on occasion a single LMB may cross into several adjacent active regions. Those may even be on different NUMA nodes and will require separate calls to the bootmem reserve functions. So, the bootmem reservation must be trimmed to fit inside the current active region. That's all fine and dandy, but we trim the reservation in a page-aligned fashion. That's bad because we start the reservation at a non-page-aligned address: physbase. The reservation may only span 2 bytes, but that those bytes may span two pfns and cause a reserve_size of 2*PAGE_SIZE. Take the case where you reserve 0x2 bytes at 0x0fff and where the active region ends at 0x1000. You'll jump into that if() statment, but node_ar.end_pfn=0x1 and start_pfn=0x0. You'll end up with a reserve_size=0x1000, and then call reserve_bootmem_node(node, physbase=0xfff, size=0x1000); 0x1000 may not be on the same node as 0xfff. Oops. In almost all the vm code, end_<anything> is not inclusive. If you have an end_pfn of 0x1234, page 0x1234 is not included in the range. Using PFN_UP instead of the (>> >> PAGE_SHIFT) will make this consistent with the other VM code. We also need to do math for the reserved size with physbase instead of start_pfn. node_ar.end_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT is *precisely* the end of the node. However, (start_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) is *NOT* precisely the beginning of the reserved area. That is, of course, physbase. If we don't use physbase here, the reserve_size can be made too large.

But it's tricky and still got two problems: 1. A bug ignored two conditions that cancel_work_sync() would return true result in a additional kvm_put_kvm(). 2. If interrupt type is MSI, we would got a window between cancel_work_sync() and free_irq(), which interrupt would be injected again... This patch discard the reference count used for irq handler and interrupt_work, and ensure the legal state by moving the free function at the very beginning of kvm_destroy_vm(). And the patch fix the second bug by disable irq before cancel_work_sync(), which may result in nested disable of irq but OK for we are going to free it.

But since the HPET_COUNTER is always 32-bit, if the hpet_t1_cmp is 64-bit this condition will always be FALSE once the latter hits the 32-bit boundary, and we can have a situation, when we don't increase the HPET_T1_CMP register high enough. The result - timer stops ticking, since HPET_T1_CMP becomes less, than the COUNTER and never increased again. The solution is (based on Linus's suggestion) to not compare 64-bits (on 64-bit x86), but to do the comparison on 32-bit signed integers.

As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a page table page. After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to recurring issues with DMAR support on certain platforms. There's a number of filesystem corruption incidents reported: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479996 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12578 Provide a Kconfig option to change whether it is enabled by default. If disabled, it can still be reenabled by passing intel_iommu=on to the kernel. Keep the .config option off by default.

| * | x86: don't apply __supported_pte_mask to non-present ptesJeremy Fitzhardinge2009-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On an x86 system which doesn't support global mappings, __supported_pte_mask has _PAGE_GLOBAL clear, to make sure it never appears in the PTE. pfn_pte() and so on will enforce it with: static inline pte_t pfn_pte(unsigned long page_nr, pgprot_t pgprot) { return __pte((((phys_addr_t)page_nr << PAGE_SHIFT) | pgprot_val(pgprot)) & __supported_pte_mask); } However, we overload _PAGE_GLOBAL with _PAGE_PROTNONE on non-present ptes to distinguish them from swap entries. However, applying __supported_pte_mask indiscriminately will clear the bit and corrupt the pte. I guess the best fix is to only apply __supported_pte_mask to present ptes. This seems like the right solution to me, as it means we can completely ignore the issue of overlaps between the present pte bits and the non-present pte-as-swap entry use of the bits. __supported_pte_mask contains the set of flags we support on the current hardware. We also use bits in the pte for things like logically present ptes with no permissions, and swap entries for swapped out pages. We should only apply __supported_pte_mask to present ptes, because otherwise we may destroy other information being stored in the ptes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The constraint used for retrieving and restoring the parent function pointer is incorrect. The parent variable is a pointer, and the address of the pointer is modified by the asm statement and not the pointer itself. It is incorrect to pass it in as an output constraint since the asm will never update the pointer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This can lead to unpredictable results and perhaps even a kernel panic. A fault should not happen, but if it does, we should simply disable the tracer, warn, and continue running the kernel. It should not lead to a kernel crash. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
