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 8646224 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 37cc8d7f96
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 ?
[2]: The patch:
[PATCH] lguest: fix pgdir pmd index cacluation
Remove an error in index calculation which leads to removing
a not existing shadow page table (leading to a Null dereference).

It's always been broken, but recent fixes actually made it do something,
and now the brokenness shows up as the resulting kernel simply not
working at all.
So it used to be that you could enable this config option, and it just
didn't do anything. Now we'd better stop people from enabling it by
mistake, since it _does_ do something, but does it so badly as to be
unusable.
Code to actually make it work is pending, but incomplete and won't be
merged into 2.6.25 in any case.

Several AGP drivers right now use ioremap_nocache() on kernel ram in order
to turn a page of regular memory uncached.
There are two problems with this:
1) This is a total nightmare for the ioremap() implementation to keep
various mappings of the same page coherent.
2) It's a total nightmare for the AGP code since it adds a ton of
complexity in terms of keeping track of 2 different pointers to
the same thing, in terms of error handling etc etc.
This patch fixes this by making the AGP drivers use the new
set_memory_XX APIs instead.
Note: amd-k7-agp.c is built on Alpha too, and generic.c is built
on ia64 as well, which do not yet have the set_memory_*() APIs,

The early boot code maps KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (currently 40MB) starting
from __START_KERNEL_map. The kernel itself only needs _text to _end
mapped in the high alias. On relocatible kernels the ASM setup code
adjusts the compile time created high mappings to the relocation. This
creates invalid pmd entries for negative offsets:
0xffffffff80000000 -> pmd entry: ffffffffff2001e3
It points outside of the physical address space and is marked present.
This starts at the virtual address __START_KERNEL_map and goes up to
the point where the first valid physical address (0x0) is mapped.
Zap the mappings before _text and after _end right away in early
boot. This removes also the invalid entries.
Furthermore it simplifies the range check for high aliases.

the problem is that we call down_read() from an atomic context.
Solve this by returning from print_vma_addr() if the preempt count is

communicate to userspace any specific information about the state.
This helps in identifying the exact hardware C-states behind the ACPI C-state

Idea is to export this through powertop, which will help to map the C-state

This patch enhances EFI runtime code memory mapping as following:
- Move __supported_pte_mask & _PAGE_NX checking before invoking
runtime_code_page_mkexec(). This makes it possible for compiler to
eliminate runtime_code_page_mkexec() on machine without NX support.
- Use set_memory_x/nx in early_mapping_set_exec(). This eliminates the
duplicated implementation.

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC was not possible on 64-bit due to its early-bootup
hardcoded reliance on PSE pages, and the unrobustness of the runtime
splitup of large pages. The splitup ended in recursive calls to
alloc_pages() when a page for a pte split was requested.
Avoid the recursion with a preallocated page pool, which is used to
split up large mappings and gets refilled in the return path of
kernel_map_pages after the split has been done. The size of the page
pool is adjusted to the available memory.
This part just implements the page pool and the initialization w/o
using it yet.

The last posted version of this patch gave compile error
on IA64. So, here goes yet another rewrite of the patch.
Convert cpu_idle_wait() to cpuidle_kick_cpus() which is
SMP-only, and gives error on non supported CPU.
Changes from last patch sent by Kevin:
Moved the definition of kick_cpus back to cpuidle.c from cpuidle.h:
* Having it in .h gives #error on archs which includes the header file without
actually having CPU_IDLE configured. To make it work in .h, we need one more
#ifdef around that code which makes it messy.
* Also, the function is only called from one file. So, it can be in declared
statically in .c rather than making it available to everyone who includes
the .h file.

Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.
Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).
Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
To make this work, this patch also does the following:
(1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
(2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
core dumping code.
(3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This
is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch
code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
the core kernel.
(4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
needed) and FRV.
This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

Currently another requirement for the fastpath is that the kernel is
compiled without preemption. The restriction will go away with the
introduction of a new per cpu allocator and new per cpu operations.
The advantages of a cmpxchg_local based fast path are:
1. Potentially lower cycle count (30%-60% faster)
2. There is no need to disable and enable interrupts on the fast path.
Currently interrupts have to be disabled and enabled on every
slab operation. This is likely avoiding a significant percentage
of interrupt off / on sequences in the kernel.
3. The disposal of freed slabs can occur with interrupts enabled.
The alternate path is realized using #ifdef's. Several attempts to do the
same with macros and inline functions resulted in a mess (in particular due
to the strange way that local_interrupt_save() handles its argument and due
to the need to define macros/functions that sometimes disable interrupts
and sometimes do something else).

struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.
Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

The commit

broke my e1000 card: on loading driver says that
e1000: probe of 0000:04:03.0 failed with error -5
and the interface doesn't appear.
"
on a 32-bit kernel, base will overflow when try to do PAGE_SHIFT,
and highest_addr will always less 4G.
So use pfn instead of address to avoid the overflow when more than
4g RAM is installed on a 32-bit kernel.
Many thanks to Pavel Emelyanov for reporting and testing it.

is there to make breaking up the 2Mb page an option (so people whos machines
give more performance for the 2Mb case can opt to do so).

This change broke recovery of exceptions in iret:
commit 72fe485854
Author: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com>
x86: replace privileged instructions with paravirt macros
The ENTRY(native_iret) macro adds alignment padding before the iretq
instruction, so "iret_label" no longer points exactly at the instruction.
It was sloppy to leave the old "iret_label" label behind when replacing
its nearby use. Removing it would have revealed the other use of the
label later in the file, and upon noticing that use, anyone exercising
the minimum of attention to detail expected of anyone touching this
subtle code would realize it needed to change as well.
