Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES. When we resume the task, check this flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set. This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible, though that won't actually be active until the next change.

Impact: remove lots of lguest boot WARN_ON() when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y We now need to call irq_to_desc_alloc_cpu() before set_irq_chip_and_handler_name(), but we can't do that from init_IRQ (no kmalloc available). So do it as we use interrupts instead. Also means we only alloc for irqs we use, which was the intent of CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ anyway.

Impact: fix lguest boot crash on modern Intel machines The code in early_init_intel does: if (c->x86 > 6 || (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model >= 0xd)) { u64 misc_enable; rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE, misc_enable); And that rdmsr faults (not allowed from non-0 PL). We can get around this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid. 5 seems like a good number. Of course, this is a hack (how very lguest!). We could just indicate that we don't support MSRs, or implement lguest_rdmst.

Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary. In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs handling optional by doing the followings. * Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs. * Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path and simplifies entry path with error code. * Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily. * Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly. xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

Impact: Optimization One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased. The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can use those registers without restriction. This includes the function argument registers, and several others. This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can be conventional compiler-generated code. In many cases (particularly performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway, and need not use the compiler's calling convention. Standard calling convention is: arguments return scratch x86-32 eax edx ecx eax ? x86-64 rdi rsi rdx rcx rax r8 r9 r10 r11 The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers. The return register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value). Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used. The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first. This is particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway. XXX Deal with VMI. What's their calling convention? Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time. Remove the X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum. Remove apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed. Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends. The use of ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have used it for readability's sake. I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead and here it is. Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP "feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days). Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I have disregarded it. I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I have left changes to them out. The option will get removed from them at the next run. Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will everywhere.

Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest bug, and indeed it wasn't. The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables for each Guest). Commit 37cc8d7f introduced this behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug. The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the early exit path of guest_set_pmd(). But you get lots of segfaults in guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Now the TSC code handles a zero return from calculate_cpu_khz(), lguest can simply pass through the value it gets from the Host: if non-zero, all the normal TSC code applies. Otherwise (or if the Host really doesn't support TSC), the clocksource code will fall back to the slower but reasonable lguest clock. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Hi all, Beginning from commits close to v2.6.25-rc2, running lguest always oopses the host kernel. Oops is at [1]. Bisection led to the following commit: commit 37cc8d7f x86/early_ioremap: don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir At the early stages of boot, before the kernel pagetable has been fully initialized, a Xen kernel will still be running off the Xen-provided pagetables rather than swapper_pg_dir[]. Therefore, readback cr3 to determine the base of the pagetable rather than assuming swapper_pg_dir[]. static inline pmd_t * __init early_ioremap_pmd(unsigned long addr) { - pgd_t *pgd = &swapper_pg_dir[pgd_index(addr)]; + /* Don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir at this point */ + pgd_t *base = __va(read_cr3()); + pgd_t *pgd = &base[pgd_index(addr)]; pud_t *pud = pud_offset(pgd, addr); pmd_t *pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr); Trying to analyze the problem, it seems on the guest side of lguest, %cr3 has a different value from &swapper_pg-dir (which is AFAIK fine on a pravirt guest): Putting some debugging messages in early_ioremap_pmd: /* Appears 3 times */ [ 0.000000] *************************** [ 0.000000] __va(%cr3) = c0000000, &swapper_pg_dir = c02cc000 [ 0.000000] *************************** After 8 hours of debugging and staring on lguest code, I noticed something strange in paravirt_ops->set_pmd hypercall invocation: static void lguest_set_pmd(pmd_t *pmdp, pmd_t pmdval) { *pmdp = pmdval; lazy_hcall(LHCALL_SET_PMD, __pa(pmdp)&PAGE_MASK, (__pa(pmdp)&(PAGE_SIZE-1))/4, 0); } The first hcall parameter is global pgdir which looks fine. The second parameter is the pmd index in the pgdir which is suspectful. AFAIK, calculating the index of pmd does not need a divisoin over four. Removing the division made lguest work fine again . Patch is at [2]. I am not sure why the division over four existed in the first place. It seems bogus, maybe the Xen patch just made the problem appear ? [2]: The patch: [PATCH] lguest: fix pgdir pmd index cacluation Remove an error in index calculation which leads to removing a not existing shadow page table (leading to a Null dereference).
