      KVM: x86: Run PIT work in own kthread · b6ddf05f
      Jan Kiszka 提交于
      We can't run PIT IRQ injection work in the interrupt context of the host
      timer. This would allow the user to influence the handler complexity by
      asking for a broadcast to a large number of VCPUs. Therefore, this work
      was pushed into workqueue context in 9d244caf2e. However, this prevents
      prioritizing the PIT injection over other task as workqueues share
      kernel threads.
      
      This replaces the workqueue with a kthread worker and gives that thread
      a name in the format "kvm-pit/<owner-process-pid>". That allows to
      identify and adjust the kthread priority according to the VM process
      parameters.

      KVM: Fix page-crossing MMIO · f78146b0
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      MMIO that are split across a page boundary are currently broken - the
      code does not expect to be aborted by the exit to userspace for the
      first MMIO fragment.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by generalizing the current code for handling
      16-byte MMIOs to handle a number of "fragments", and changes the MMIO
      code to create those fragments.

      x86: Handle failures of parsing immediate operands in the instruction decoder · 6c7b8e82
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      This can happen if the instruction is much longer than the maximum length,
      or if insn->opnd_bytes is manually changed.
      
      This patch also fixes warnings from -Wswitch-default flag.

      x86-32: fix up strncpy_from_user() sign error · 12e993b8
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The 'max' range needs to be unsigned, since the size of the user address
      space is bigger than 2GB.
      
      We know that 'count' is positive in 'long' (that is checked in the
      caller), so we will truncate 'max' down to something that fits in a
      signed long, but before we actually do that, that comparison needs to be
      done in unsigned.
      
      Bug introduced in commit 92ae03f2 ("x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of
      'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").  On x86-64 you can't trigger
      this, since the user address space is much smaller than 63 bits, and on
      x86-32 it works in practice, since you would seldom hit the strncpy
      limits anyway.
      
      I had actually tested the corner-cases, I had only tested them on
      x86-64.  Besides, I had only worried about the case of a pointer *close*
      to the end of the address space, rather than really far away from it ;)
      
      This also changes the "we hit the user-specified maximum" to return
      'res', for the trivial reason that gcc seems to generate better code
      that way.  'res' and 'count' are the same in that case, so it really
      doesn't matter which one we return.

      x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up · 92ae03f2
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This merges the 32- and 64-bit versions of the x86 strncpy_from_user()
      by just rewriting it in C rather than the ancient inline asm versions
      that used lodsb/stosb and had been duplicated for (trivial) differences
      between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
      
      While doing that, it also speeds them up by doing the accesses a word at
      a time.  Finally, the new routines also properly handle the case of
      hitting the end of the address space, which we have never done correctly
      before (fs/namei.c has a hack around it for that reason).
      
      Despite all these improvements, it actually removes more lines than it
      adds, due to the de-duplication.  Also, we no longer export (or define)
      the legacy __strncpy_from_user() function (that was defined to not do
      the user permission checks), since it's not actually used anywhere, and
      the user address space checks are built in to the new code.
      
      Other architecture maintainers have been notified that the old hack in
      fs/namei.c will be going away in the 3.5 merge window, in case they
      copied the x86 approach of being a bit cavalier about the end of the
      address space.
