      KVM guest: Make pv trampoline code executable · b18db0b8
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      Our PV guest patching code assembles chunks of instructions on the fly when it
      encounters more complicated instructions to hijack. These instructions need
      to live in a section that we don't mark as non-executable, as otherwise we
      fault when jumping there.
      
      Right now we put it into the .bss section where it automatically gets marked
      as non-executable. Add a check to the NX setting function to ensure that we
      leave these particular pages executable.

      [IA64] Change default PSR.ac from '1' to '0' (Fix erratum #237) · c0b5a64d
      Tony Luck 提交于
      April 2014 Itanium processor specification update:
      
      http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/itanium/itanium-specification-update.html
      
      describes this erratum:
      
      =========================================================================
      237. Under a complex set of conditions, store to load forwarding for a
      sub 8-byte load may complete incorrectly
      
      Problem: A load instruction may complete incorrectly when a code sequence
      using 4-byte or smaller load and store operations to the same address
      is executed in combination with specific timing of all the following
      concurrent conditions: store to load forwarding, alignment checking
      enabled, a mis-predicted branch, and complex cache utilization activity.
      
      Implication: The affected sub 8-byte instruction may complete
      incorrectly resulting in unpredictable system behavior. There is an
      extremely low probability of exposure due to the significant number of
      complex microarchitectural concurrent conditions required to encounter
      the erratum.
      
      Workaround: Set PSR.ac = 0 to completely avoid the erratum. Disabling
      Hyper-Threading will significantly reduce exposure to the conditions
      that contribute to encountering the erratum.
      
      Status: See the Summary Table of Changes for the affected steppings.
      =========================================================================
      
      [Table of changes essentially lists all models from McKinley to Tukwila]
      
      The PSR.ac bit controls whether the processor will always generate
      an unaligned reference trap (0x5a00) for a misaligned data access
      (when PSR.ac=1) or if it will let the access succeed when running
      on a cpu that implements logic to handle some unaligned accesses.
      
      Way back in 2008 in commit b704882e
        [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
      we made the decision to always enable strict checking. We were
      already doing so in trap/interrupt context because the common
      preamble code set this bit - but the rest of supervisor code
      (and by inheritance user code) ran with PSR.ac=0.
      
      We now reverse that decision and set PSR.ac=0 everywhere in the
      kernel (also inherited by user processes). This will avoid the
      erratum using the method described in the Itanium specification
      update.  Net effect for users is that the processor will handle
      unaligned access when it can (typically with a tiny performance
      bubble in the pipeline ... but much less invasive than taking a
      trap and having the OS perform the access).

          Borkmann.
      
       6) skb_network_protocol() should not use hard-coded ETH_HLEN, instead
          skb->mac_len needs to be used.  From Vlad Yasevich.
      
       7) We have several cases of using socket based communications to
          implement a tunnel.  For example, some tunnels are encapsulations
          over UDP so we use an internal kernel UDP socket to do the
          transmits.
      
          These tunnels should behave just like other software devices and
          pass the packets on down to the next layer.
      
          Most importantly we want the top-level socket (eg TCP) that created
          the traffic to be charged for the SKB memory.
      
          However, once you get into the IP output path, we have code that
          assumed that whatever was attached to skb->sk is an IP socket.
      
          To keep the top-level socket being charged for the SKB memory,
          whilst satisfying the needs of the IP output path, we now pass in an
          explicit 'sk' argument.
      
          From Eric Dumazet.
      
       8) ping_init_sock() leaks group info, from Xiaoming Wang.

      ip6_gre: don't allow to remove the fb_tunnel_dev · 54d63f78
      Nicolas Dichtel 提交于
      It's possible to remove the FB tunnel with the command 'ip link del ip6gre0' but
      this is unsafe, the module always supposes that this device exists. For example,
      ip6gre_tunnel_lookup() may use it unconditionally.
      
      Let's add a rtnl handler for dellink, which will never remove the FB tunnel (we
      let ip6gre_destroy_tunnels() do the job).

      ipv4: add a sock pointer to dst->output() path. · aad88724
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      In the dst->output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to
      transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via
      ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the
      provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket.
      
      The dst->output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk'
      parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can
      be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.

      ipv4: add a sock pointer to ip_queue_xmit() · b0270e91
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      ip_queue_xmit() assumes the skb it has to transmit is attached to an
      inet socket. Commit 31c70d59 ("l2tp: keep original skb ownership")
      changed l2tp to not change skb ownership and thus broke this assumption.
      
      One fix is to add a new 'struct sock *sk' parameter to ip_queue_xmit(),
      so that we do not assume skb->sk points to the socket used by l2tp
      tunnel.
