      x86: remove zImage support · 5e47c478
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Impact: obsolete feature removal
      
      The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long
      time.  It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still
      fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that
      anyone ever uses it.  Furthermore, although it is still supported by
      most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at
      all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and
      not having even noticed.
      
      Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any
      meaning.

      Btrfs: fix spinlock assertions on UP systems · b9447ef8
      Chris Mason 提交于
      btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was
      properly locked in a few places.  But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled
      kernels.
      
      This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to
      btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used.

      Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
      interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
      process context with interrupts enabled.
      
      So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:
      
      Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
      happens which updates accouting values.  This causes acct_timexpd to be
      greater than the former stime + utime.  The subsequent calculation of
      
      	dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);
      
      will be negative and the division performed by
      
      	cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)
      
      will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
      register.
      
      In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
      of the accounting values.

      lguest: fix for CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y · 6db6a5f3
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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.

      lguest: fix crash 'unhandled trap 13 at <native_read_msr_safe>' · cbd88c8e
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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.
