KVM tries to run as much as possible with the guest msrs loaded instead of host msrs, since switching msrs is very expensive. It also tries to minimize the number of msrs switched according to the guest mode; for example, MSR_LSTAR is needed only by long mode guests. This optimization is done by setup_msrs(). However, we must not change which msrs are switched while we are running with guest msr state: - switch to guest msr state - call setup_msrs(), removing some msrs from the list - switch to host msr state, leaving a few guest msrs loaded An easy way to trigger this is to kexec an x86_64 linux guest. Early during setup, the guest will switch EFER to not include SCE. KVM will stop saving MSR_LSTAR, and on the next msr switch it will leave the guest LSTAR loaded. The next host syscall will end up in a random location in the kernel. Fix by reloading the host msrs before changing the msr list. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other vcpus. This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be modified. The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have modified the pte without the shadow lock. However the assumption is incorrect, as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow page, before our vcpu regains control: vcpu0 vcpu1 fault walk pte modify pte fault in same pagetable instantiate shadow page lookup shadow page conclude it is old instantiate spte based on stale guest pte We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation unconditionally. The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can be quite fast. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

One of the use cases for the supported cpuid list is to create a "greatest common denominator" of cpu capabilities in a server farm. As such, it is useful to be able to get the list without creating a virtual machine first. Since the code does not depend on the vm in any way, all that is needed is to move it to the device ioctl handler. The capability identifier is also changed so that binaries made against -rc1 will fail gracefully. Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic. This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules. These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel interface which is already known to be lossy. These will overun the default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call audit_panic(). The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come through while auditd is stopped. This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by just not panicing if auditd is not running. We know printk is lossy and if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try? At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will eventually know that things went bad. The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd disappears. We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send it so that message is lost. At least this way we will account for the last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic. This code path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons. If auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk this code path.

Eric Sandeen tracked an XFS on ARM corruption bug down to a function under fs/xfs/ involving some get_unaligned() calls on u64 pointers. As it turns out, calling ARM's get_unaligned() on a u64 pointer pointing to the following byte sequence: 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 would return ffffffff83828180 (LE mode.) This turns out to be because of implicit u8 -> int promotion in ARM's implementation of various helpers for get_unaligned(), causing them to accidentally return signed instead of unsigned values, which in turn caused the subsequent casts to unsigned long long in __get_unaligned_8_[bl]e() to sign-extend the lower words. Fix by casting the return values of __get_unaligned_[24]_[bl]e() to unsigned int.
