lguest: stop using KVM hypercall mechanism

2010-04-14T12:13:56+00:00

This is a partial revert of 4cd8b5e2a159 "lguest: use KVM hypercalls";
we revert to using (just as questionable but more reliable) int $15 for
hypercalls.  I didn't revert the register mapping, so we still use the
same calling convention as kvm.

KVM in more recent incarnations stopped injecting a fault when a guest
tried to use the VMCALL instruction from ring 1, so lguest under kvm
fails to make hypercalls.  It was nice to share code with our KVM
cousins, but this was overreach.

lguest: workaround cmpxchg8b_emu by ignoring cli in the guest.

2010-04-14T12:13:54+00:00

It's only used by cmpxchg8b_emu (see db677ffa5f5a for the gory
details), and fixing that to be paravirt aware would be more work than
simply ignoring it (and AFAICT only help lguest).  This makes lguest
work on machines which have cmpxchg8b, for kernels compiled for older
processors.

(We can't emulate it properly: the popf which expects to restore interrupts
does not trap).

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

percpu: make misc percpu symbols unique

2009-10-29T13:34:14+00:00

This patch updates misc percpu related symbols such that percpu
symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.  This serves
two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol
collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols.

* drivers/crypto/padlock-aes.c: s/last_cword/paes_last_cword/

* drivers/lguest/x86/core.c: s/last_cpu/lg_last_cpu/

* drivers/s390/net/netiucv.c: rename the variable used in a macro to
  avoid clashing with percpu symbol

* arch/mn10300/kernel/kprobes.c: replace current_ prefix with cur_ for
  static variables.  Please note that percpu symbol current_kprobe
  can't be changed as it's used by generic code.

Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars
which cause name clashes" patch.

headers: remove sched.h from interrupt.h

2009-10-11T18:20:58+00:00

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current,
it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k!
Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this.
