      KVM: VMX: Fix commit which broke PML · a3eaa864
      Kai Huang 提交于
      I found PML was broken since below commit:
      
      	commit feda805f
      	Author: Xiao Guangrong <guangrong.xiao@linux.intel.com>
      	Date:   Wed Sep 9 14:05:55 2015 +0800
      
      	KVM: VMX: unify SECONDARY_VM_EXEC_CONTROL update
      
      	Unify the update in vmx_cpuid_update()

      	[Rewrite to use vmcs_set_secondary_exec_control. - Paolo]
      Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
      
      The reason is in above commit vmx_cpuid_update calls vmx_secondary_exec_control,
      in which currently SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML bit is cleared unconditionally (as
      PML is enabled in creating vcpu). Therefore if vcpu_cpuid_update is called after
      vcpu is created, PML will be disabled unexpectedly while log-dirty code still
      thinks PML is used.
      
      Fix this by clearing SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML in vmx_secondary_exec_control
      only when PML is not supported or not enabled (!enable_pml). This is more
      reasonable as PML is currently either always enabled or disabled. With this
      explicit updating SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML in vmx_enable{disable}_pml is not
      needed so also rename vmx_enable{disable}_pml to vmx_create{destroy}_pml_buffer.

      kvm: x86: zero EFER on INIT · 5690891b
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      Not zeroing EFER means that a 32-bit firmware cannot enter paging mode
      without clearing EFER.LME first (which it should not know about).
      Yang Zhang from Intel confirmed that the manual is wrong and EFER is
      cleared to zero on INIT.

      KVM: vmx: fix VPID is 0000H in non-root operation · 04bb92e4
      Wanpeng Li 提交于
      Reference SDM 28.1:
      
      The current VPID is 0000H in the following situations:
      - Outside VMX operation. (This includes operation in system-management
        mode under the default treatment of SMIs and SMM with VMX operation;
        see Section 34.14.)
      - In VMX root operation.
      - In VMX non-root operation when the “enable VPID” VM-execution control
        is 0.
      
      The VPID should never be 0000H in non-root operation when "enable VPID"
      VM-execution control is 1. However, commit 34a1cd60 ("kvm: x86: vmx:
      move some vmx setting from vmx_init() to hardware_setup()") remove the
      codes which reserve 0000H for VMX root operation.
      
      This patch fix it by again reserving 0000H for VMX root operation.

      kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code · 2965faa5
      Dave Young 提交于
      There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
       kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c.  In this patch I
      split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
      
      And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
      use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
      
      The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
      being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled.  But kexec-tools use
      kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
      
      Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
      in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel.  KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
      KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
      
      Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
      architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
      KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.  Also updated general kernel code with to
      kexec_load syscall.

      mm: rename alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() · 96db800f
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e ("page
      allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is
      valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't
      fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE.  Unfortunately the
      name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is
      restricted to the given node and fails otherwise.  In truth, the node is
      only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags.
      
      The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example
      commits 5265047a ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage
      allocation to local node") and b360edb4 ("mm, mempolicy:
      migrate_to_node should only migrate to node").
      
      Another issue with the name is that there's a family of
      alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead
      of page order), which leads to more confusion.
      
      To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames
      alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that
      it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general
      usage.  Both functions get described in comments.
      
      It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for
      allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that
      __GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't
      duplicate the API needlessly.  The number of users would be small
      anyway.
      
      Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to
      call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent()
      which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use
      alloc_pages_node() instead.  This means it no longer performs some
      VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in
      alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes
      NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously
      exposed.
      
      Both differences will be rectified by the next patch.
      
      To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily
      hiding potentially buggy callers.  Restricting the checks in
      alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose
      more existing buggy callers.
