      lguest: stop using KVM hypercall mechanism · 091ebf07
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      This is a partial revert of 4cd8b5e2 "lguest: use KVM hypercalls";
      we revert to using (just as questionable but more reliable) int $15 for
      hypercalls.  I didn't revert the register mapping, so we still use the
      same calling convention as kvm.
      
      KVM in more recent incarnations stopped injecting a fault when a guest
      tried to use the VMCALL instruction from ring 1, so lguest under kvm
      fails to make hypercalls.  It was nice to share code with our KVM
      cousins, but this was overreach.

      perf: Fix unsafe frame rewinding with hot regs fetching · ab285f2b
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      When we fetch the hot regs and rewind to the nth caller, it
      might happen that we dereference a frame pointer outside the
      kernel stack boundaries, like in this example:
      
      	perf_trace_sched_switch+0xd5/0x120
              schedule+0x6b5/0x860
              retint_careful+0xd/0x21
      
      Since we directly dereference a userspace frame pointer here while
      rewinding behind retint_careful, this may end up in a crash.
      
      Fix this by simply using probe_kernel_address() when we rewind the
      frame pointer.
      
      This issue will have a much more proper fix in the next version of the
      perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() API that will only need to rewind to the
      first caller.

      x86: Fix double enable_IR_x2apic() call on SMP kernel on !SMP boards · 472a474c
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Jan Grossmann reported kernel boot panic while booting SMP
      kernel on his system with a single core cpu. SMP kernels call
      enable_IR_x2apic() from native_smp_prepare_cpus() and on
      platforms where the kernel doesn't find SMP configuration we
      ended up again calling enable_IR_x2apic() from the
      APIC_init_uniprocessor() call in the smp_sanity_check(). Thus
      leading to kernel panic.
      
      Don't call enable_IR_x2apic() and default_setup_apic_routing()
      from APIC_init_uniprocessor() in CONFIG_SMP case.
      
      NOTE: this kind of non-idempotent and assymetric initialization
      sequence is rather fragile and unclean, we'll clean that up
      in v2.6.35. This is the minimal fix for v2.6.34.

      perf, x86: Fix callgraphs of 32-bit processes on 64-bit kernels · 257ef9d2
      Torok Edwin 提交于
      When profiling a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, callgraph tracing
      stopped after the first function, because it has seen a garbage memory
      address (tried to interpret the frame pointer, and return address as a
      64-bit pointer).
      
      Fix this by using a struct stack_frame with 32-bit pointers when the
      TIF_IA32 flag is set.
      
      Note that TIF_IA32 flag must be used, and not is_compat_task(), because
      the latter is only set when the 32-bit process is executing a syscall,
      which may not always be the case (when tracing page fault events for
      example).

      perf, x86: Fix AMD hotplug & constraint initialization · b38b24ea
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Commit 3f6da390 ("perf: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooks") moved
      the amd northbridge allocation from CPUS_ONLINE to CPUS_PREPARE_UP
      however amd_nb_id() doesn't work yet on prepare so it would simply bail
      basically reverting to a state where we do not properly track node wide
      constraints - causing weird perf results.
      
      Fix up the AMD NorthBridge initialization code by allocating from
      CPU_UP_PREPARE and installing it from CPU_STARTING once we have the
      proper nb_id. It also properly deals with the allocation failing.
