User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.
When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.
The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.

Impact: fix to prevent a kernel crash on fault
If for some reason the pointer to the parent function on the
stack takes a fault, the fix up code will not return back to
the original faulting code. 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.

The new legacy_mem file in sysfs is causing problems with X on machines
that don't support legacy memory access. The way I initially implemented
it, we would fail with -ENXIO when trying to mmap it, thus exposing to
X that we do support the API but there is no legacy memory.
Unfortunately, X poor error handling is causing it to fail to start when
it gets this error.
This implements a workaround hack that instead maps anonymous memory
instead (using shmem if VM_SHARED is set, just like /dev/zero does).

do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that
it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long
argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero
argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless
of configuration in the current code.
This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like
other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with
pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate()
like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of
struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is
correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler
used.
This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it
somewhat working.

Commit 6194ba6ff6 ("x86: don't special-case

and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the
pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path.
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).
Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from
the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

This is based upon a report from Chris Torek and his initial patch.
From Chris's report:
--------------------
This came up in testing kgdb, using the built-in tests -- turn
on CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS, then
echo V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
-- but it would affect using kgdb if you were debugging and looking
at bad pointers.
--------------------
When we get a copy_{from,to}_user() request and the %asi is set to
something other than ASI_AIUS (which is userspace) then we branch off
to a routine called memcpy_user_stub(). It just does a straight
memcpy since we are copying from kernel to kernel in this case.
The logic was that since source and destination are both kernel
pointers we don't need to have exception checks.
But for what probe_kernel_{read,write}() is trying to do, we have to
have the checks, otherwise things like kgdb bad kernel pointer
accesses don't do the right thing.

One of my past fixes to this code introduced a different new bug.
When using 32-bit "int $0x80" entry for a bogus syscall number,
the return value is not correctly set to -ENOSYS. This only happens
when neither syscall-audit nor syscall tracing is enabled (i.e., never
seen if auditd ever started). Test program:
/* gcc -o int80-badsys -m32 -g int80-badsys.c
Run on x86-64 kernel.
Note to reproduce the bug you need auditd never to have started. */
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
main (void)
{
long res;
asm ("int $0x80" : "=a" (res) : "0" (99999));
printf ("bad syscall returns %ld\n", res);
return res != -ENOSYS;
}
The fix makes the int $0x80 path match the sysenter and syscall paths.
