      x86: fix NULL pointer deref in __switch_to · 54481cf8
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      I am able to reproduce the oops reported by Simon in __switch_to() with
      lguest.
      
      My debug showed that there is at least one lguest specific
      issue (which should be present in 2.6.25 and before aswell) and it got
      exposed with a kernel oops with the recent fpu dynamic allocation patches.
      
      In addition to the previous possible scenario (with fpu_counter), in the
      presence of lguest, it is possible that the cpu's TS bit it still set and the
      lguest launcher task's thread_info has TS_USEDFPU still set.
      
      This is because of the way the lguest launcher handling the guest's TS bit.
      (look at lguest_set_ts() in lguest_arch_run_guest()). This can result
      in a DNA fault while doing unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). This will
      end up causing a DNA fault in the context of new process thats
      getting context switched in (as opossed to handling DNA fault in the context
      of lguest launcher/helper process).
      
      This is wrong in both pre and post 2.6.25 kernels. In the recent
      2.6.26-rc series, this is showing up as NULL pointer dereferences or
      sleeping function called from atomic context(__switch_to()), as
      we free and dynamically allocate the FPU context for the newly
      created threads. Older kernels might show some FPU corruption for processes
      running inside of lguest.
      
      With the appended patch, my test system is running for more than 50 mins
      now. So atleast some of your oops (hopefully all!) should get fixed.
      Please give it a try. I will spend more time with this fix tomorrow.

      virtio: set device index in common code. · b769f579
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Anthony Liguori points out that three different transports use the virtio code,
      but each one keeps its own counter to set the virtio_device's index field.  In
      theory (though not in current practice) this means that names could be
      duplicated, and that risk grows as more transports are created.
      
      So we move the selection of the unique virtio_device.index into the common code
      in virtio.c, which has the side-benefit of removing duplicate code.
      
      The only complexity is that lguest and S/390 use the index to uniquely identify
      the device in case of catastrophic failure before register_virtio_device() is
      called: now we use the offset within the descriptor page as a unique identifier
      for the printks.

      virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features · c45a6816
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
      some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
      negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.
      
      There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
      didn't notice when it was violated.
      
      So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
      in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
      core.  The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
      a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.
      
      Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
      bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
      straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.
      
      Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
      really have to.
      
      API changes:
      - dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
      - drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
      - use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

      lguest: Revert 1ce70c4f, fix real problem. · 4357bd94
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest
      bug, and indeed it wasn't.
      
      The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table
      being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return
      an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables
      for each Guest).
      
      Commit 37cc8d7f introduced this
      behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.
      
      The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
      calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
      early exit path of guest_set_pmd().  But you get lots of segfaults in
      guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.

      (ie. fixed) the checking in __get_vm_area, and it broke lguest.
      
      lguest should pass the exact "end" it wants, not some random constant
      (it was possible previously that it would actually get an address
      different from SWITCHER_ADDR).
      
      Also, Fabio Checconi pointed out that we should make sure we're not

      virtio: reset function · 6e5aa7ef
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      A reset function solves three problems:
      
      1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
         guest driver without rebooting the guest.
      
      2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
         we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and
      
      3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.
      
      So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
      feature bits is via reset.
      
      We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
      the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
      remove function.

      It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before
      calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so.
      
      Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback
      now returns void, rather than a boolean.

      Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
      seems overkill.  We now simply define a structure which represents the

      at the end.
      
      The main driver-visible changes:
      1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
      2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.
