We need to override EA as well as PA lookups for the magic page. When the guest tells us to project it, the magic page overrides any guest mappings. In order to reflect that, we need to hook into all the MMU layers of KVM to force map the magic page if necessary.

On PowerPC it's very normal to not support all of the physical RAM in real mode. To check if we're matching on the shared page or not, we need to know the limits so we can restrain ourselves to that range. So let's make it a define instead of open-coding it. And while at it, let's also increase it. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> v2 -> v3: - RMO -> PAM (non-magic page) Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

When the guest turns on interrupts again, it needs to know if we have an interrupt pending for it. Because if so, it should rather get out of guest context and get the interrupt. So we introduce a new field in the shared page that we use to tell the guest that there's a pending interrupt lying around.

When running in hooked code we need a way to disable interrupts without clobbering any interrupts or exiting out to the hypervisor. To achieve this, we have an additional critical field in the shared page. If that field is equal to the r1 register of the guest, it tells the hypervisor that we're in such a critical section and thus may not receive any interrupts.

To communicate with KVM directly we need to plumb some sort of interface between the guest and KVM. Usually those interfaces use hypercalls. This hypercall implementation is described in the last patch of the series in a special documentation file. Please read that for further information.

The SRR0 and SRR1 registers contain cached values of the PC and MSR respectively. They get written to by the hypervisor when an interrupt occurs or directly by the kernel. They are also used to tell the rfi(d) instruction where to jump to. Because it only gets touched on defined events that, it's very simple to share with the guest. Hypervisor and guest both have full r/w access. This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to toggle in critical sections. So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.

This makes the 64-bit kernel use 64-bit signed integers for the counter (effectively supporting 32-bit of active count in the semaphore), thus avoiding things like overflow of the mmap_sem if you use a really crazy number of threads Note: Ideally the type in the structure should be atomic_long_t rather than "long". However, there's some nasty issues with that. It needs to be initialized statically -and- lib/rwsem.c does things like sem->count = RWSEM_UNLOCKED_VALUE; Now, if you mix in the fact that atomic_* types are actually structures with one member and note typedefs of a scalar, it makes its really nasty. So I stuck to what we did before using a long and casts for now. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt). So it hasn't been so useful for drivers. We have only one user of the API in tree. Unlikely out-of-tree drivers use the API. Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are definitely necessary for drivers. Let's remove this API.

Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation. dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others). So we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations. This patch: dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA alignment restriction). However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if architectures doesn't define it. Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub (except for crypto).

This patch is against the 2.6.34 source. Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com: These are the changes needed for the kernel to support LINEMODE in the server. There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC. When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of what state the user wants the terminal to be in. New ioctl: TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the current process group of the pty. There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit. When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state. Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for any remote terminal protocol, including ssh. The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.

kunmap_atomic() is currently at level -4 on Rusty's "Hard To Misuse" list[1] ("Follow common convention and you'll get it wrong"), except in some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3]. kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes takes a pointer to within the page itself. This seems to once in a while trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from kunmap()). Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4] ("The compiler/linker won't let you get it wrong"). This is done by refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a struct page. The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck() (which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code). The previous version of this patch was compile tested on x86-64. [1] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-04-01.html [2] In these cases, it is at level 5, "Do it right or it will always break at runtime." [3] At least mips and powerpc look very similar, and sparc also seems to share a common ancestor with both; there seems to be quite some degree of copy-and-paste coding here. The include/asm/highmem.h file for these three archs mention x86 CPUs at its top. [4] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-03-30.html [5] As an aside, could someone tell me why mn10300 uses unsigned long as the first parameter of kunmap_atomic() instead of void *?

Work around a silicon bug in the ac97 reset functionality of the mpc5200(b). The implementation of the ac97 "cold" reset is flawed. If the sync and output lines are high when reset is asserted the attached ac97 device may go into test mode. Avoid this by reconfiguring the psc to gpio mode and generating the reset manually. From MPC5200B User's Manual: "Some AC97 devices goes to a test mode, if the Sync line is high during the Res line is low (reset phase). To avoid this behavior the Sync line must be also forced to zero during the reset phase. To do that, the pin muxing should switch to GPIO mode and the GPIO control register should be used to control the output lines."

Since the decrementer and timekeeping code was moved over to using the generic clockevents and timekeeping infrastructure, several variables and functions have been obsolete and effectively unused. This deletes them. In particular, wakeup_decrementer() is no longer needed since the generic code reprograms the decrementer as part of the process of resuming the timekeeping code, which happens during sysdev resume. Thus the wakeup_decrementer calls in the suspend_enter methods for 52xx platforms have been removed. The call in the powermac cpu frequency change code has been replaced by set_dec(1), which will cause a timer interrupt as soon as interrupts are enabled, and the generic code will then reprogram the decrementer with the correct value. This also simplifies the generic_suspend_en/disable_irqs functions and makes them static since they are not referenced outside time.c. The preempt_enable/disable calls are removed because the generic code has disabled all but the boot cpu at the point where these functions are called, so we can't be moved to another cpu.

Currently it is possible for userspace to see the result of gettimeofday() going backwards by 1 microsecond, assuming that userspace is using the gettimeofday() in the VDSO. The VDSO gettimeofday() algorithm computes the time in "xsecs", which are units of 2^-20 seconds, or approximately 0.954 microseconds, using the algorithm now = (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs + stamp_xsec and then converts the time in xsecs to seconds and microseconds. The kernel updates the tb_orig_stamp and stamp_xsec values every tick in update_vsyscall(). If the length of the tick is not an integer number of xsecs, then some precision is lost in converting the current time to xsecs. For example, with CONFIG_HZ=1000, the tick is 1ms long, which is 1048.576 xsecs. That means that stamp_xsec will advance by either 1048 or 1049 on each tick. With the right conditions, it is possible for userspace to get (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being 1049 if the kernel is slightly late in updating the vdso_datapage, and then for stamp_xsec to advance by 1048 when the kernel does update it, and for userspace to then see (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being zero due to integer truncation. The result is that time appears to go backwards by 1 microsecond. To fix this we change the VDSO gettimeofday to use a new field in the VDSO datapage which stores the nanoseconds part of the time as a fractional number of seconds in a 0.32 binary fraction format. (Or put another way, as a 32-bit number in units of 0.23283 ns.) This is convenient because we can use the mulhwu instruction to convert it to either microseconds or nanoseconds. Since it turns out that computing the time of day using this new field is simpler than either using stamp_xsec (as gettimeofday does) or stamp_xtime.tv_nsec (as clock_gettime does), this converts both gettimeofday and clock_gettime to use the new field. The existing __do_get_tspec function is converted to use the new field and take a parameter in r7 that indicates the desired resolution, 1,000,000 for microseconds or 1,000,000,000 for nanoseconds. The __do_get_xsec function is then unused and is deleted. The new algorithm is now = ((timebase - tb_orig_stamp) << 12) * tb_to_xs + (stamp_xtime_seconds << 32) + stamp_sec_fraction with 'now' in units of 2^-32 seconds. That is then converted to seconds and either microseconds or nanoseconds with seconds = now >> 32 partseconds = ((now & 0xffffffff) * resolution) >> 32 The 32-bit VDSO code also makes a further simplification: it ignores the bottom 32 bits of the tb_to_xs value, which is a 0.64 format binary fraction. Doing so gets rid of 4 multiply instructions. Assuming a timebase frequency of 1GHz or less and an update interval of no more than 10ms, the upper 32 bits of tb_to_xs will be at least 4503599, so the error from ignoring the low 32 bits will be at most 2.2ns, which is more than an order of magnitude less than the time taken to do gettimeofday or clock_gettime on our fastest processors, so there is no possibility of seeing inconsistent values due to this. This also moves update_gtod() down next to its only caller, and makes update_vsyscall use the time passed in via the wall_time argument rather than accessing xtime directly. At present, wall_time always points to xtime, but that could change in future. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
