      sched_clock: fix cpu_clock() · 354879bb
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      This patch fixes 3 issues:
      
      a) it removes the dependency on jiffies, because jiffies are incremented
         by a single CPU, and the tick is not synchronized between CPUs. Therefore
         relying on it to calculate a window to clip whacky TSC values doesn't work
         as it can drift around.
      
         So instead use [GTOD, GTOD+TICK_NSEC) as the window.
      
      b) __update_sched_clock() did (roughly speaking):
      
         delta = sched_clock() - scd->tick_raw;
         clock += delta;
      
         Which gives exponential growth, instead of linear.
      
      c) allows the sched_clock_cpu() value to warp the u64 without breaking.
      
      the results are more reliable sched_clock() deltas:

      KVM: Use .fixup instead of .text.fixup on __kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot · 18b13e54
      Eduardo Habkost 提交于
      vmlinux.lds expects the fixup code to be on a section named .fixup. The
      .text.fixup section is not mentioned on vmlinux.lds, and is included on
      the resulting vmlinux (just after .text) only because of ld heuristics on
      placing orphan sections.
      
      However, placing .text.fixup outside .text breaks the definition of
      _etext, making it exclude the .text.fixup contents. That makes .text.fixup
      be ignored by the kernel initialization code that needs to know about
      section locations, such as the code setting page protection bits.

      virtio_balloon: fix towards_target when deflating balloon · 532a6086
      Anthony Liguori 提交于
      Both v and vb->num_pages are u32 and unsigned int respectively.  If v is less
      than vb->num_pages (and it is, when deflating the balloon), the result is a
      very large 32-bit number.  Since we're returning a s64, instead of getting the
      same negative number we desire, we get a very large positive number.
      
      This handles the case where v < vb->num_pages and ensures we get a small,
      negative, s64 as the result.
      
      Rusty: please push this for 2.6.27-rc4.  It's probably appropriate for the
      stable tree too as it will cause an unexpected OOM when ballooning.
