d4387bd3fa x86: c_p_a clflush_cache_range fix
Because in i386 early boot stage, boot_cpu_data may be not available,
which makes clflush_cach_range() into infinite loop, which is called
by change_page_attr(). This patch fixes this by setting
boot_cpu_data.x86_clflush_size in early_cpu_detect().

571008dacc KVM: x86 emulator: Only allow VMCALL/VMMCALL trapped by #UD
When executing a test program called "crashme", we found the KVM guest cannot
survive more than ten seconds, then encounterd kernel panic. The basic concept
of "crashme" is generating random assembly code and trying to execute it.

After some fixes on emulator insn validity judgment, we found it's hard to
get the current emulator handle the invalid instructions correctly, for the
#UD trap for hypercall patching caused troubles. The problem is, if the opcode
itself was OK, but combination of opcode and modrm_reg was invalid, and one
operand of the opcode was memory (SrcMem or DstMem), the emulator will fetch
the memory operand first rather than checking the validity, and may encounter
an error there. For example, ".byte 0xfe, 0x34, 0xcd" has this problem.

In the patch, we simply check that if the invalid opcode wasn't vmcall/vmmcall,
then return from emulate_instruction() and inject a #UD to guest. With the
patch, the guest had been running for more than 12 hours.

e3ed910db2 x86: use the same pgd_list for PAE and 64-bit
Use a standard list threaded through page->lru for maintaining the pgd
list on PAE.  This is the same as 64-bit, and seems saner than using a
non-standard list via page->index.

f212ec4b7b x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early)
This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.

If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.

With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.

In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.

An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.

A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt
and I've put a copy online at
ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt

It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it
another copy of it is online at:

6194ba6ff6 x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much
In x86 PAE mode, stop treating pmds as a special case.  Previously
they were always allocated and freed with the pgd.  The modifies the
code to be the same as 64-bit mode, where they are allocated on
demand.

This is a step on the way to unifying 32/64-bit pagetable allocation
as much as possible.

There is a complicating wart, however.  When you install a new
reference to a pmd in the pgd, the processor isn't guaranteed to see
it unless you reload cr3.  Since reloading cr3 also has the
side-effect of flushing the tlb, this is an expense that we want to
avoid whereever possible.

This patch simply avoids reloading cr3 unless the update is to the
current pagetable.  Later patches will optimise this further.

fd40d6e318 x86: shrink some ifdefs in fault.c
The change from current to tsk in do_page_fault is safe as
this is set at the very beginning of the function.

Removes a likely() annotation from the 64-bit version, this
could have instead been added to 32-bit.

5b727a3b01 x86: ignore spurious faults
When changing a kernel page from RO->RW, it's OK to leave stale TLB
entries around, since doing a global flush is expensive and they pose
no security problem.  They can, however, generate a spurious fault,
which we should catch and simply return from (which will have the
side-effect of reloading the TLB to the current PTE).

This can occur when running under Xen, because it frequently changes
kernel pages from RW->RO->RW to implement Xen's pagetable semantics.
It could also occur when using CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since it avoids
doing a global TLB flush after changing page permissions.

b406ac61e9 x86: remove nx_enabled from fault.c
On !PAE 32-bit, _PAGE_NX will be 0, making is_prefetch always
return early.  The test is sufficient on PAE as __supported_pte_mask
is updated in the same places as nx_enabled in init_32.c which also
takes disable_nx into account.
