Ian Campbell 87d034f313 x86/xen: fix DomU boot problem
Construct Xen guest e820 map with a hole between 640K-1M.

It's pure luck that Xen kernels have gotten away with it in the past.

The patch below seems like the right thing to do. It certainly boots in
a domU without the DMI problem (without any of the other related patches
such as Alexander's).

Yinghai Lu 7c9e92b6cd x86: not set node to cpu_to_node if the node is not online
resolve boot problem reported by Mel Gorman:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/13/404

init_cpu_to_node will use cpu->apic (from MADT or mptable) and
apic->node(from SRAT or AMD config space with k8_bus_64.c) to have
cpu->node mapping, and later identify_cpu will overwrite them
again...(with nearby_node...)

this patch checks if the node is online, otherwise it will not
update cpu_node map. so keep cpu_node map to online node before
identify_cpu..., to prevent possible error.

Suresh Siddha 18a8622101 x86, i387: fix ptrace leakage using init_fpu()
This bug got introduced by the recent i387 merge:

  commit 4421011120
  Author: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
  Date:   Wed Jan 30 13:31:50 2008 +0100

      x86: x86 i387 user_regset

Current usage of unlazy_fpu() in ptrace specific routines is wrong.
unlazy_fpu() will not init fpu if the task never used math. So the
ptrace calls can expose the parent tasks FPU data in some cases.

Replace it with the init_fpu() which will init the math state, if the
task never used math before.

Avi Kivity 33f9c505ed KVM: VMX: Avoid rearranging switched guest msrs while they are loaded
KVM tries to run as much as possible with the guest msrs loaded instead of
host msrs, since switching msrs is very expensive.  It also tries to minimize
the number of msrs switched according to the guest mode; for example,
MSR_LSTAR is needed only by long mode guests.  This optimization is done by
setup_msrs().

However, we must not change which msrs are switched while we are running with
guest msr state:

 - switch to guest msr state
 - call setup_msrs(), removing some msrs from the list
 - switch to host msr state, leaving a few guest msrs loaded

An easy way to trigger this is to kexec an x86_64 linux guest.  Early during
setup, the guest will switch EFER to not include SCE.  KVM will stop saving
MSR_LSTAR, and on the next msr switch it will leave the guest LSTAR loaded.
The next host syscall will end up in a random location in the kernel.

Fix by reloading the host msrs before changing the msr list.

Avi Kivity f7d9c7b7b9 KVM: MMU: Fix race when instantiating a shadow pte
For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other
vcpus.  This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have
write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be
modified.

The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not
new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have
modified the pte without the shadow lock.  However the assumption is incorrect,
as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow
page, before our vcpu regains control:

  vcpu0        vcpu1

  fault
  walk pte

               modify pte
               fault in same pagetable
               instantiate shadow page

  lookup shadow page
  conclude it is old
  instantiate spte based on stale guest pte

We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by
Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation
unconditionally.  The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can
be quite fast.

Avi Kivity 674eea0fc4 KVM: Make the supported cpuid list a host property rather than a vm property
One of the use cases for the supported cpuid list is to create a "greatest
common denominator" of cpu capabilities in a server farm.  As such, it is
useful to be able to get the list without creating a virtual machine first.

Since the code does not depend on the vm in any way, all that is needed is
to move it to the device ioctl handler.  The capability identifier is also
changed so that binaries made against -rc1 will fail gracefully.

Michael Ellerman da40451bba [POWERPC] Convert the cell IOMMU fixed mapping to 16M IOMMU pages
The only tricky part is we need to adjust the PTE insertion loop to
cater for holes in the page table. The PTEs for each segment start on
a 4K boundary, so with 16M pages we have 16 PTEs per segment and then
a gap to the next 4K page boundary.

It might be possible to allocate the PTEs for each segment separately,
saving the memory currently filling the gaps. However we'd need to
check that's OK with the hardware, and that it actually saves memory.

We use n_pte_pages to calculate the stride through the page tables, but

defined as the number of 4K pages per segment, so we should calculate

Currently the cell IOMMU code allocates the entire IOMMU page table in a

amounts of RAM the page table allocation can fail due to it simply being
too large.

So split the segment table and page table setup routine, and arrange to

The cell IOMMU tce build and free routines use pte_offset to convert
the index passed from the generic IOMMU code into a page table offset.

This takes into account the SPIDER_DMA_OFFSET which sets the top bit
of every DMA address.

However it doesn't cater for the IOMMU window starting at a non-zero
address, as the base of the window is not incorporated into pte_offset
at all.

As it turns out tbl->it_offset already contains the value we need, it
takes into account the base of the window and also pte_offset. So use
it instead!

As the procfs export of ATAGS is not meant as a stable, general purpose
ABI it shouldn't be an independent, general configuration option.

This patch make ATAGS_PROC depend on KEXEC

Jeremy Fitzhardinge d40e705903 xen: mask out SEP from CPUID
Fix 32-on-64 pvops kernel:

we don't want userspace using syscall/sysenter, even if the hypervisor
supports it, so mask it out from CPUID.

Ingo Molnar b4ef95de00 x86: disable BTS ptrace extensions for now
revert the BTS ptrace extension for now.

based on general objections from Roland McGrath:

    http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/21/323

we'll let the BTS functionality cook some more and re-enable
it in v2.6.26. We'll leave the dead code around to help the
development of this code.

(X86_BTS is not defined at the moment)

Thomas Gleixner 8be8f54bae x86: CPA: avoid split of alias mappings
avoid over-eager large page splitup.

When the target area needs to be split or is split already (ioremap)
then the current code enforces the split of large mappings in the alias
regions even if we could avoid it.

Use a separate variable processed in the cpa_data structure to carry
the number of pages which have been processed instead of reusing the
numpages variable. This keeps numpages intact and gives the alias code
a chance to keep large mappings intact.

delay the removal of this symbol export by one more kernel release,
giving external modules such as VirtualBox a chance to stop using it.
