b407fc57b8 x86/paravirt: flush pending mmu updates on context switch
Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates

If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave
lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in
TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES.  When we resume the task, check this
flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set.

This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible,
though that won't actually be active until the next change.

7fd7d83d49 x86/pvops: replace arch_enter_lazy_cpu_mode with arch_start_context_switch
Impact: simplification, prepare for later changes

Make lazy cpu mode more specific to context switching, so that
it makes sense to do more context-switch specific things in
the callbacks.

2b1c6bd77d generic compat_sys_ustat
Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but
currently only x86 and mips provide one.  Add a generic compat_sys_ustat
and switch all architectures over to it.  Instead of doing various
user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as
it's trivial.  This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann.

Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes
stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of
data writen by the syscall.

53f658b3c3 KVM: VMX: initialize TSC offset relative to vm creation time
VMX initializes the TSC offset for each vcpu at different times, and
also reinitializes it for vcpus other than 0 on APIC SIPI message.

This bug causes the TSC's to appear unsynchronized in the guest, even if
the host is good.

Older Linux kernels don't handle the situation very well, so
gettimeofday is likely to go backwards in time:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2025534&group_id=180599&atid=893831

Fix it by initializating the offset of each vcpu relative to vm creation

APIC MP init path.

42dbaa5a05 KVM: x86: Virtualize debug registers
So far KVM only had basic x86 debug register support, once introduced to
realize guest debugging that way. The guest itself was not able to use
those registers.

This patch now adds (almost) full support for guest self-debugging via
hardware registers. It refactors the code, moving generic parts out of
SVM (VMX was already cleaned up by the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG patches), and
it ensures that the registers are properly switched between host and
guest.

This patch also prepares debug register usage by the host. The latter
will (once wired-up by the following patch) allow for hardware
breakpoints/watchpoints in guest code. If this is enabled, the guest
will only see faked debug registers without functionality, but with
content reflecting the guest's modifications.

Tested on Intel only, but SVM /should/ work as well, but who knows...

Known limitations: Trapping on tss switch won't work - most probably on
Intel.

Credits also go to Joerg Roedel - I used his once posted debugging
series as platform for this patch.

d0bfb940ec KVM: New guest debug interface
This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.

To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.

The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.

Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

3d6368ef58 KVM: SVM: Add VMRUN handler
This patch implements VMRUN. VMRUN enters a virtual CPU and runs that
in the same context as the normal guest CPU would run.
So basically it is implemented the same way, a normal CPU would do it.

We also prepare all intercepts that get OR'ed with the original
intercepts, as we do not allow a level 2 guest to be intercepted less
than the first level guest.

v2 implements the following improvements:

- fixes the CPL check
- does not allocate iopm when not used
- remembers the host's IF in the HIF bit in the hflags

v3:

- make use of the new permission checking
- add support for V_INTR_MASKING_MASK

v4:

- use host page backed hsave

v5:

- remove IOPM merging code

v6:

- save cr4 so PAE l1 guests work

v7:

- return 0 on vmrun so we check the MSRs too
- fix MSR check to use the correct variable

To keep the information about that somewhere, this patch adds a new hidden

I tried to write some code to make -no-kvm-irqchip work too, but the first

ab9e18587f x86, math-emu: fix init_fpu for task != current
Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace

init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always
works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another
process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get
a null pointer exception in finit.

This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct
parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with
current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which
would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction.

An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in
case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined.

The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining
code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

dd39ecf522 x86: EFI: Back efi_ioremap with init_memory_mapping instead of FIX_MAP
Impact: Fix boot failure on EFI system with large runtime memory range

Brian Maly reported that some EFI system with large runtime memory
range can not boot. Because the FIX_MAP used to map runtime memory
range is smaller than run time memory range.

This patch fixes this issue by re-implement efi_ioremap() with
init_memory_mapping().

867c5b5292 x86: set_highmem_pages_init() cleanup
Impact: cleanup

This patch moves set_highmem_pages_init() to arch/x86/mm/highmem_32.c.

The declaration of the function is kept in asm/numa_32.h because
asm/highmem.h is included only if CONFIG_HIGHMEM is enabled so we
can't put the empty static inline function there.

5b1017404a x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.

In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
the wrong system call number table.  The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
instead of TIF_IA32.  Here is an example exploit:

	/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64

	   There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.

	   The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
	   be any chmod call).  The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
	   stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.

	   A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
	   fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.

9976b39b50 xen: deal with virtually mapped percpu data
The virtually mapped percpu space causes us two problems:

 - for hypercalls which take an mfn, we need to do a full pagetable
   walk to convert the percpu va into an mfn, and

 - when a hypercall requires a page to be mapped RO via all its aliases,
   we need to make sure its RO in both the percpu mapping and in the
   linear mapping

This primarily affects the gdt and the vcpu info structure.

tss io permissions bitmap, large chunks of process*.c are
trivially unifyable, including:

 - exit_thread
 - flush_thread
 - __switch_to_xtra (along with tsc enable/disable)

and as bonus pickups:

 - sys_fork
 - sys_vfork

(Note: asmlinkage expands to empty on x86-64)

db949bba3c x86-32: use non-lazy io bitmap context switching
Impact: remove 32-bit optimization to prepare unification

x86-32 and -64 differ in the way they context-switch tasks
with io permission bitmaps.  x86-64 simply copies the next
tasks io bitmap into place (if any) on context switch.  x86-32
invalidates the bitmap on context switch, so that the next
IO instruction will fault; at that point it installs the
appropriate IO bitmap.

This makes context switching IO-bitmap-using tasks a bit more
less expensive, at the cost of making the next IO instruction
slower due to the extra fault.  This tradeoff only makes sense
if IO-bitmap-using processes are relatively common, but they
don't actually use IO instructions very often.

However, in a typical desktop system, the only process likely
to be using IO bitmaps is the X server, and nothing at all on
a server.  Therefore the lazy context switch doesn't really win
all that much, and its just a gratuitious difference from
64-bit code.

This patch removes the lazy context switch, with a view to
unifying this code in a later change.

f180053694 x86, mm: dont use non-temporal stores in pagecache accesses
Impact: standardize IO on cached ops

On modern CPUs it is almost always a bad idea to use non-temporal stores,
as the regression in this commit has shown it:

  30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall

The kernel simply has no good information about whether using non-temporal
stores is a good idea or not - and trying to add heuristics only increases
complexity and inserts fragility.

The regression on cached write()s took very long to be found - over two
years. So dont take any chances and let the hardware decide how it makes
use of its caches.

The only exception is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: there were we are
absolutely sure that another entity (the GPU) will pick up the dirty
data immediately and that the CPU will not touch that data before the
GPU will.

Also, keep the _nocache() primitives to make it easier for people to
experiment with these details. There may be more clear-cut cases where
non-cached copies can be used, outside of filemap.c.

This reverts commit 17581ad812.

Sitsofe Wheeler reported that /dev/dri/card0 is MIA on his EeePC 900
and bisected it to this commit.

Graphics card is an i915 in an EeePC 900:

 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]:
   Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
     Express Graphics Controller [8086:2592] (rev 04)

( Most likely the ioremap() of the driver failed and hence the card
  did not initialize. )

d0c4f57027 bootmem, x86: further fixes for arch-specific bootmem wrapping
Impact: fix new breakages introduced by previous fix

Commit c132937556 tried to clean up
bootmem arch wrapper but it wasn't quite correct.  Before the commit,
the followings were broken.

* Low level interface functions prefixed with __ ignored arch
  preference.

* reserve_bootmem(...) can't be mapped into
  reserve_bootmem_node(NODE_DATA(0)->bdata, ...) because the node is
  not preference here.  The region specified MUST fall into the
  specified region; otherwise, it will panic.

After the commit,

* If allocation fails for the arch preferred node, it should fallback
  to whatever is available.  Instead, it simply failed allocation.

There are too many internal details to allow generic wrapping and
still keep things simple for archs.  Plus, all that arch wants is a
way to prefer certain node over another.

This patch drops the generic wrapping around alloc_bootmem_core() and
add alloc_bootmem_core() instead.  If necessary, arch can define
bootmem_arch_referred_node() macro or function which takes all
allocation information and returns the preferred node.  bootmem
generic code will always try the preferred node first and then
fallback to other nodes as usual.

Breakages noted and changes reviewed by Johannes Weiner.
