Older VMX supporting CPUs do not provide the "Virtual NMI" feature for tracking the NMI-blocked state after injecting such events. For now KVM is unable to inject NMIs on those CPUs. Derived from Sheng Yang's suggestion to use the IRQ window notification for detecting the end of NMI handlers, this patch implements virtual NMI support without impact on the host's ability to receive real NMIs. The downside is that the given approach requires some heuristics that can cause NMI nesting in vary rare corner cases. The approach works as follows: - inject NMI and set a software-based NMI-blocked flag - arm the IRQ window start notification whenever an NMI window is requested - if the guest exits due to an opening IRQ window, clear the emulated NMI-blocked flag - if the guest net execution time with NMI-blocked but without an IRQ window exceeds 1 second, force NMI-blocked reset and inject anyway This approach covers most practical scenarios: - succeeding NMIs are seperated by at least one open IRQ window - the guest may spin with IRQs disabled (e.g. due to a bug), but leaving the NMI handler takes much less time than one second - the guest does not rely on strict ordering or timing of NMIs (would be problematic in virtualized environments anyway) Successfully tested with the 'nmi n' monitor command, the kgdbts testsuite on smp guests (additional patches required to add debug register support to kvm) + the kernel's nmi_watchdog=1, and a Siemens- specific board emulation (+ guest) that comes with its own NMI watchdog mechanism.

This patch adds the required bits to the VMX side for user space injected NMIs. As with the preexisting in-kernel irqchip support, the CPU must provide the "virtual NMI" feature for proper tracking of the NMI blocking state. Based on the original patch by Sheng Yang.

LINT0 of the LAPIC can be used to route PIT events as NMI watchdog ticks into the guest. This patch aligns the in-kernel irqchip emulation with the user space irqchip with already supports this feature. The trick is to route PIT interrupts to all LAPIC's LVT0 lines.

do_interrupt_requests and vmx_intr_assist go different way for achieving the same: enabling the nmi/irq window start notification. Unify their code over enable_{irq|nmi}_window, get rid of a redundant call to enable_intr_window instead of direct enable_nmi_window invocation and unroll enable_intr_window for both in-kernel and user space irq injection accordingly.

There are currently two ways in VMX to check if an IRQ or NMI can be injected: - vmx_{nmi|irq}_enabled and - vcpu.arch.{nmi|interrupt}_window_open. Even worse, one test (at the end of vmx_vcpu_run) uses an inconsistent, likely incorrect logic. This patch consolidates and unifies the tests over {nmi|interrupt}_window_open as cache + vmx_update_window_states for updating the cache content.

arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could be removed without replacement. What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not to map the vdso.

Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state. On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime. Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too. Changes on v2: We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing. This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper function used at this stage.

there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28: config X86_PTRACE_BTS bool "Branch Trace Store" it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into a new task without clearing it. Fixes exist but they came too late: c5dee617: x86, bts: memory accounting bf53de90: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In the case of multiple FPU errors, prioritize the error codes, instead of returning __SI_FAULT, which ends up pushing a 0 as the error code to userspace, a POSIX violation. For i386, we will simply return if there are no errors at all; for x86-64 this is probably a "can't happen" (and the code should be unified), but for this patch, return __SI_FAULT|SI_KERNEL if this ever happens.

Impact: fix deadlock This is in response to the following bug report: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100 Subject : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L Submitter : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de> Date : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old) Handled-By : Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> [ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ] I think I might have a logical explanation why the system: (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100) might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time. (1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is taken; (2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a deadlock. Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this issue has never popped up. I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the 2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock..."). In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

Building upon parts of the module stripping patch, this patch introduces similar stripping for vmlinux when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y. Using CONFIG_KALLSYMS_STRIP_GENERATED reduces the overhead of CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL from 245k/310k to 65k/80k for the (i386/x86-64) kernels I tested with. The patch also does away with the need to special case the kallsyms- internal symbols by making them available even in the first linking stage. While it is a generated file, the patch includes the changes to scripts/genksyms/keywords.c_shipped, as I'm unsure what the procedure here is.
