Ingo Molnar d21225ee2b [PATCH] KVM: Make loading cr3 more robust
Prevent the guest's loading of a corrupt cr3 (pointing at no guest phsyical
page) from crashing the host.

Avi Kivity 760db773fb [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Add missing dirty bit
If we emulate a write, we fail to set the dirty bit on the guest pte, leading
the guest to believe the page is clean, and thus lose data.  Bad.

Fix by setting the guest pte dirty bit under such conditions.

If we reduce permissions on a pte, we must flush the cached copy of the pte

This is implemented at the moment by flushing the entire guest tlb, and can be
improved by flushing just the relevant virtual address, if it is known.

Avi Kivity 714b93da1a [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Replace atomic allocations by preallocated objects
The mmu sometimes needs memory for reverse mapping and parent pte chains.
however, we can't allocate from within the mmu because of the atomic context.

So, move the allocations to a central place that can be executed before the
main mmu machinery, where we can bail out on failure before any damage is
done.

(error handling is deffered for now, but the basic structure is there)

Avi Kivity cea0f0e7ea [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Shadow page table caching
Define a hashtable for caching shadow page tables. Look up the cache on
context switch (cr3 change) or during page faults.

The key to the cache is a combination of
- the guest page table frame number
- the number of paging levels in the guest
   * we can cache real mode, 32-bit mode, pae, and long mode page
     tables simultaneously.  this is useful for smp bootup.
- the guest page table table
   * some kernels use a page as both a page table and a page directory.  this
     allows multiple shadow pages to exist for that page, one per level
- the "quadrant"
   * 32-bit mode page tables span 4MB, whereas a shadow page table spans
     2MB.  similarly, a 32-bit page directory spans 4GB, while a shadow
     page directory spans 1GB.  the quadrant allows caching up to 4 shadow page
     tables for one guest page in one level.
- a "metaphysical" bit
   * for real mode, and for pse pages, there is no guest page table, so set
     the bit to avoid write protecting the page.

It also means the kvm's copy of cr0 and cr4 may be stale with respect to these

interesting.  Other times, however (for example when returning cr0 to
userspace), they are, so get the fresh contents of these bits from the guest

David Brownell cb26b572dc [PATCH] Update the rtc-rs5c372 driver
Bugfixes:
  - Handle RTCs which are configured to use 12-hour mode.
  - Never report bogus/un-initialized times.
  - Displaying "raw trim" requires not masking it first!
  - Fix the sysfs and procfs display of crystal and trim data.

 Features:
  - Handle other RTCs in this family, notably rv5c386/rv5c387.
  - Declare the other registers.
  - Provide alarm get/set functionality.
  - Handle AIE and UIE; but no IRQ handling yet.

 Cleanup:
  - Shrink object by not including needless sysfs or procfs support
  - We don't need no steenkin' forward declarations.  (Except one.)

Until the I2C framework merges "new style" driver support, matching
the driver model better, using rv5c chips or alarm IRQs requires a
separate board-specific patch.  (And an IRQ handler, handing off labor
through a work_struct...)

This uses the "method 3" register reads, but notes that it's done
to work around an evident i2c adapter driver bug.

Eric Sandeen be6aab0e9f [PATCH] fix memory corruption from misinterpreted bad_inode_ops return values
CVE-2006-5753 is for a case where an inode can be marked bad, switching
the ops to bad_inode_ops, which are all connected as:

static int return_EIO(void)
{
        return -EIO;
}

#define EIO_ERROR ((void *) (return_EIO))

static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
        .create         = bad_inode_create
...etc...

The problem here is that the void cast causes return types to not be
promoted, and for ops such as listxattr which expect more than 32 bits of
return value, the 32-bit -EIO is interpreted as a large positive 64-bit
number, i.e. 0x00000000fffffffa instead of 0xfffffffa.

This goes particularly badly when the return value is taken as a number of
bytes to copy into, say, a user's buffer for example...

I originally had coded up the fix by creating a return_EIO_<TYPE> macro
for each return type, like this:

static int return_EIO_int(void)
{
	return -EIO;
}
#define EIO_ERROR_INT ((void *) (return_EIO_int))

static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
	.create		= EIO_ERROR_INT,
...etc...

but Al felt that it was probably better to create an EIO-returner for each
actual op signature.  Since so few ops share a signature, I just went ahead
& created an EIO function for each individual file & inode op that returns
a value.

Vivek Goyal 3771a450cf [PATCH] i386: modpost smpboot code warning fix
o Currently synchronize_tsc_ap() is of type __init. It is called by
  smp_callin() which is of type __cpuinit. So synchronize_tsc_ap()
  should be of type __cpuinit.

o Modpost generates warnings for i386 if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y and
  CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between 'start_secondary' (at offset 0xc01164dc) and 'initialize_secondary'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between 'start_secondary' (at offset 0xc01164e8) and 'initialize_secondary'

o tsc is of type __initdata. It should be of type __cpuinitdata.

Paul Mundt 9ab37b8f21 [PATCH] Sanely size hash tables when using large base pages
At the moment the inode/dentry cache hash tables (common by way of
alloc_large_system_hash()) are incorrectly sized by their respective
detection logic when we attempt to use large base pages on systems with
little memory.

This results in odd behaviour when using a 64kB PAGE_SIZE, such as:

Dentry cache hash table entries: 8192 (order: -1, 32768 bytes)
Inode-cache hash table entries: 4096 (order: -2, 16384 bytes)

The mount cache hash table is seemingly the only one that gets this right
by directly taking PAGE_SIZE in to account.

The following patch attempts to catch the bogus values and round it up to
at least 0-order.

Vivek Goyal dd0ec16fa6 [PATCH] i386: Restore CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option
o Relocatable bzImage support had got rid of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option
  thinking that now this option is not required as people can build a
  second kernel as relocatable and load it anywhere. So need of compiling
  the kernel for a custom address was gone. But Magnus uses vmlinux images
  for second kernel in Xen environment and he wants to continue to use
  it.

o Restoring the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option for the time being. I think
  down the line we can get rid of it.
