I overlooked the difference between __kernel_uid_t and uid_t when defining

That turned out to be very illuminating:

 +++ dmesg-2.6.24-git8	2008-02-24 18:01:25.530358000 +0100

Notice how the TSC cap bit goes from Off to On.

(The first two lines are printout loops from -git7 forward-ported
to -git8, the third line is the same printout loop added just after
the xor-with-cleared_cpu_caps[] loop.)

Here's how the breakage occurs:
1. arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.c:tsc_init() sees !cpu_has_tsc,
   so bails and calls setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC).
2. include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h:setup_clear_cpu_cap(bit) clears
   the bit in boot_cpu_data and sets it in cleared_cpu_caps
3. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:identify_cpu() XORs all caps
   in with cleared_cpu_caps
   HOWEVER, at this point c->x86_capability correctly has TSC
   Off, cleared_cpu_caps has TSC On, so the XOR incorrectly
   sets TSC to On in c->x86_capability, with disastrous results.

The real bug is that clearing bits with XOR only works if the
bits are known to be 1 prior to the XOR, and that's not true here.

A simple fix is to convert the XOR to AND-NOT instead. The following
patch does that, and allows my 486 to boot 2.6.25-rc kernels again.

Currently, there is no way for print_stack_trace() to determine whether
a given stack trace entry was deemed reliable or not, simply because
save_stack_trace() does not record this information. (Perhaps needless
to say, this makes the saved stack traces A LOT harder to read, and
probably with no other benefits, since debugging features that use
save_stack_trace() most likely also require frame pointers, etc.)

This patch reverts to the old behaviour of only recording the reliable trace

based on a report from Arne Georg Gleditsch about user-space apps
misbehaving after toggling /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64, a review
of the code revealed that the "NOP patching" done there is
fundamentally unsafe for a number of reasons:

1) the patching code runs without synchronizing other CPUs

2) it inserts NOPs even if there is no clock source which provides vread

3) when the clock source changes to one without vread we run in
   exactly the same problem as in #2

4) if nobody toggles the proc entry from 1 to 0 and to 1 again, then
   the syscall is not patched out

as a result it is possible to break user-space via this patching.
The only safe thing for now is to remove the patching.

This code was broken since v2.6.21.

The KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE constant was mis-named, as we not only map the kernel
text but data, bss and init sections as well.

That name led me on the wrong path with the KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE regression,
because i knew how big of _text_ my images have and i knew about the 40 MB
"text" limit so i wrongly thought to be on the safe side of the 40 MB limit
with my 29 MB of text, while the total image size was slightly above 40 MB.

recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously
rebooting during early bootup.

after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out
that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel
image:

      #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE  (40*1024*1024)

which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass:

       text           data       bss        dec       hex   filename
   29703744        4222751   8646224c   42572719   2899baf   vmlinux

40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/

So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is
the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-)

So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped.
(should anyone be that crazy or lazy)

We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these
mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather
pointless and arbitrary.

The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the
last legitimate memory block.  However, several BIOSes don't do that
and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of
the list.  For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the
SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code
in this case.

To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820
chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a
plain insane e820 implementation.  However, we need to make the test
for CF = 1 before the SMAP check.

This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the
memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to
spec.

Hi all,

Beginning from commits close to v2.6.25-rc2, running lguest always oopses
the host kernel. Oops is at [1].

Bisection led to the following commit:

commit 37cc8d7f

    x86/early_ioremap: don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir

    At the early stages of boot, before the kernel pagetable has been
    fully initialized, a Xen kernel will still be running off the
    Xen-provided pagetables rather than swapper_pg_dir[].  Therefore,
    readback cr3 to determine the base of the pagetable rather than
    assuming swapper_pg_dir[].

 static inline pmd_t * __init early_ioremap_pmd(unsigned long addr)
 {
-	pgd_t *pgd = &swapper_pg_dir[pgd_index(addr)];
+	/* Don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir at this point */
+	pgd_t *base = __va(read_cr3());
+	pgd_t *pgd = &base[pgd_index(addr)];
 	pud_t *pud = pud_offset(pgd, addr);
 	pmd_t *pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);

Trying to analyze the problem, it seems on the guest side of lguest,
%cr3 has a different value from &swapper_pg-dir (which
is AFAIK fine on a pravirt guest):

Putting some debugging messages in early_ioremap_pmd:

/* Appears 3 times */
[    0.000000] ***************************
[    0.000000] __va(%cr3) = c0000000, &swapper_pg_dir = c02cc000
[    0.000000] ***************************

After 8 hours of debugging and staring on lguest code, I noticed something
strange in paravirt_ops->set_pmd hypercall invocation:

static void lguest_set_pmd(pmd_t *pmdp, pmd_t pmdval)
{
	*pmdp = pmdval;
	lazy_hcall(LHCALL_SET_PMD, __pa(pmdp)&PAGE_MASK,
		   (__pa(pmdp)&(PAGE_SIZE-1))/4, 0);
}

The first hcall parameter is global pgdir which looks fine. The second
parameter is the pmd index in the pgdir which is suspectful.

AFAIK, calculating the index of pmd does not need a divisoin over four.
Removing the division made lguest work fine again . Patch is at [2].

I am not sure why the division over four existed in the first place. It
seems bogus, maybe the Xen patch just made the problem appear ?
