<id>c171caf7be2888ae3affcaa1f4e1628a01904d70</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4e59516a12a6ef6dcb660cb3a3f70c64bd60cfec upstream.

Between loading the new VMCS and enabling PML, the CPU was unpinned.
If the vCPU thread were migrated to another CPU in the interim (e.g.,
due to preemption or sleeping alloc_page), then the VMWRITEs to enable
PML would target the wrong VMCS -- or no VMCS at all:

  [ 2087.266950] vmwrite error: reg 200e value 3fe1d52000 (err -506126336)
  [ 2087.267062] vmwrite error: reg 812 value 1ff (err 511)
  [ 2087.267125] vmwrite error: reg 401e value 12229c00 (err 304258048)

This patch ensures that the VMCS remains current while enabling PML by
doing the VMWRITEs while the CPU is pinned. Allocation of the PML buffer
is hoisted out of the critical section.

commit 47512cfd0d7a8bd6ab71d01cd89fca19eb2093eb upstream.

The goldfish platform code registers the platform device unconditionally
which causes havoc in several ways if the goldfish_pdev_bus driver is
enabled:

 - Access to the hardcoded physical memory region, which is either not
   available or contains stuff which is completely unrelated.

 - Prevents that the interrupt of the serial port can be requested

 - In case of a spurious interrupt it goes into a infinite loop in the
   interrupt handler of the pdev_bus driver (which needs to be fixed
   seperately).

Add a 'goldfish' command line option to make the registration opt-in when
the platform is compiled in.

I'm seriously grumpy about this engineering trainwreck, which has seven
SOBs from Intel developers for 50 lines of code. And none of them figured
out that this is broken. Impressive fail!

commit 9e3440481845b2ec22508f60837ee2cab2b6054f upstream.

The 64-bit get_user() wasn't clearing the high word due to a typo in the
error handler. The exception handler entry was already correct, though.
Noticed during recent usercopy test additions in lib/test_user_copy.c.

commit d966564fcdc19e13eb6ba1fbe6b8101070339c3d upstream.

This reverts commit 020eb3daaba2857b32c4cf4c82f503d6a00a67de.

Gabriel C reports that it causes his machine to not boot, and we haven't
tracked down the reason for it yet.  Since the bug it fixes has been
around for a longish time, we're better off reverting the fix for now.

Gabriel says:
 "It hangs early and freezes with a lot RCU warnings.

  I bisected it down to :

  &gt; Ruslan Ruslichenko (1):
  &gt;       x86/ioapic: Restore IO-APIC irq_chip retrigger callback

  Reverting this one fixes the problem for me..

  The box is a PRIMERGY TX200 S5 , 2 socket , 2 x E5520 CPU(s) installed"

and Ruslan and Thomas are currently stumped.

commit aaaec6fc755447a1d056765b11b24d8ff2b81366 upstream.

The recent commit which prevents double activation of interrupts unearthed
interesting code in x86. The code (ab)uses irq_domain_activate_irq() to
reconfigure an already activated interrupt. That trips over the prevention
code now.

Fix it by deactivating the interrupt before activating the new configuration.

commit 00c87e9a70a17b355b81c36adedf05e84f54e10d upstream.

Saving unsupported state prevents migration when the new host does not
support a XSAVE feature of the original host, even if the feature is not
exposed to the guest.

We've masked host features with guest-visible features before, with
4344ee981e21 ("KVM: x86: only copy XSAVE state for the supported
features") and dropped it when implementing XSAVES.  Do it again.

commit af2b7fa17eb92e52b65f96604448ff7a2a89ee99 upstream.

prom_init.c calls 'instance-to-package' twice, but the return
is not checked during prom_find_boot_cpu(). The result is then
passed to prom_getprop(), which could be PROM_ERROR. Add a return check
to prevent this.

This was found on a pasemi system, where CFE doesn't have a working
'instance-to package' prom call.

Before Commit 5c0484e25ec0 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') the area
around addr 0 was mostly 0's and this doesn't cause a problem. Once the
macro 'FIXUP_ENDIAN' has been added to head_64.S, the low memory area
now has non-zero values, which cause the prom_getprop() call
to hang.

mpe: Also confirmed that under SLOF if 'instance-to-package' did fail
with PROM_ERROR we would crash in SLOF. So the bug is not specific to
CFE, it's just that other open firmwares don't trigger it because they
have a working 'instance-to-package'.
