      [PATCH] i386: vMI timer patches · bbab4f3b
      Zachary Amsden 提交于
      VMI timer code.  It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is
      configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code.  The backend
      timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are
      some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of
      when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different
      hypervisors as well.  So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.

      [PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA · 5ac6da66
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
      channel management.  Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
      provide memory below 16M.  So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
      set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA.  Undo the modifications to
      mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
      theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.
      
      Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
      switched off.  It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
      supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
      memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
      IA64/Altix).
      
      In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
      a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
      capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
      alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
      (like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
      call.  In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
      to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

      [PATCH] i386: Restore CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option · dd0ec16f
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      o Relocatable bzImage support had got rid of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option
        thinking that now this option is not required as people can build a
        second kernel as relocatable and load it anywhere. So need of compiling
        the kernel for a custom address was gone. But Magnus uses vmlinux images
        for second kernel in Xen environment and he wants to continue to use
        it.
      
      o Restoring the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option for the time being. I think
        down the line we can get rid of it.

      [PATCH] Generic BUG for i386 · 91768d6c
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery.  There are no functional
      changes from the old i386 implementation.
      
      The main advantage in using the generic BUG machinery for i386 is that the
      inlined overhead of BUG is just the ud2a instruction; the file+line(+function)
      information are no longer inlined into the instruction stream.  This reduces
      cache pollution, and makes disassembly work properly.

      [PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portable · 3a872d89
      Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 提交于
      In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:
      
      o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
        The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
        architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
        to specify the ".symbols"
      o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
        specify an offset into a symbol.
      o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
        However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
        probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
      o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
        CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
      o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
        the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
        happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
      o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
        work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
        work, say, on powerpc)

      [PATCH] vdso: randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vma · e6e5494c
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it.
      
      Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which
      can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do
      single-stepping and other debugging features.
      
      It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same
      high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they
      get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which
      slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the
      VDSO).
      
      There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support
      for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO.  Newer
      distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off.  Turning
      it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the
      predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore.
      
      There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime
      /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned
      on/off.
      
      (This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF
      coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.)
      
      This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization
      code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell
      started this patch and i completed it.

      Commit 1e9f28fa ("[PATCH] sched: new

      and some of the structures it uses dependent on SMP.
      
      However, this is wrong, the structures are only defined if X86_HT, so
      SCHED_SMT has to depend on that as well.
