KVM: VMX: enable VMXON check with SMX enabled (Intel TXT)

2010-07-05T18:16:14+00:00

Per document, for feature control MSR:

  Bit 1 enables VMXON in SMX operation. If the bit is clear, execution
        of VMXON in SMX operation causes a general-protection exception.
  Bit 2 enables VMXON outside SMX operation. If the bit is clear, execution
        of VMXON outside SMX operation causes a general-protection exception.

This patch is to enable this kind of check with SMX for VMXON in KVM.

vfs: add NOFOLLOW flag to umount(2)

2010-07-05T18:16:09+00:00

commit db1f05bb85d7966b9176e293f3ceead1cb8b5d79 upstream.

Add a new UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW flag to umount(2).  This is needed to prevent
symlink attacks in unprivileged unmounts (fuse, samba, ncpfs).

Additionally, return -EINVAL if an unknown flag is used (and specify
an explicitly unused flag: UMOUNT_UNUSED).  This makes it possible for
the caller to determine if a flag is supported or not.

ahci: add pci quirk for JMB362

2010-07-05T18:16:00+00:00

commit 4daedcfe8c6851aa01cc1997220f2577f4039c13 upstream.

JMB362 is a new variant of jmicron controller which is similar to
JMB360 but has two SATA ports instead of one.  As there is no PATA
port, single function AHCI mode can be used as in JMB360.  Add pci
quirk for JMB362.

tmpfs: insert tmpfs cache pages to inactive list at first

2010-07-05T18:15:53+00:00

commit e9d6c157385e4efa61cb8293e425c9d8beba70d3 upstream.

Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to OOM killer.
This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9a7 ("vmscan: evict
streaming IO first").  Wow, It is 2 years old patch!

Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first.  This means
that the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU, but
it also reduces anon scanning ratio.  Therefore, vmscan will get totally
confused.  It scans almost only file LRU even though the system has plenty
unused tmpfs pages.

Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used for two reasons.
1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache.
2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages.

But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate anon and
file LRU list.  then, to insert active list doesn't help such priotize.
(2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page activation.  then to
insert inactive list with pte access bit mean higher priority than to
insert active list.  Its priority inversion may lead to uninteded lru
chun.  but it was already solved by commit 645747462 (vmscan: detect
mapped file pages used only once).  (Thanks Hannes, you are great!)

Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commits

2010-05-26T21:32:04+00:00

commit 34441427aab4bdb3069a4ffcda69a99357abcb2e upstream.

Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.

Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.

Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.

Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc//stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.

Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.

This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.

The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28.  For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address.  This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless.  That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.

Other architectures will get different values.  As an example, ia64
gets 0.  The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.

I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") .  If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured.  Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.

I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") .  I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

libata: Fix accesses at LBA28 boundary (old bug, but nasty) (v2)

2010-05-12T22:02:49+00:00

commit 45c4d015a92f72ec47acd0c7557abdc0c8a6499d upstream.

Most drives from Seagate, Hitachi, and possibly other brands,
do not allow LBA28 access to sector number 0x0fffffff (2^28 - 1).
So instead use LBA48 for such accesses.

This bug could bite a lot of systems, especially when the user has
taken care to align partitions to 4KB boundaries. On misaligned systems,
it is less likely to be encountered, since a 4KB read would end at
0x10000000 rather than at 0x0fffffff.

hugetlb: fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() when backed by huge pages

2010-05-12T22:02:33+00:00

commit 23be7468e8802a2ac1de6ee3eecb3ec7f14dc703 upstream.

If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped
MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a
page->mapping that will never exist.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details
about the problem.

This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE.  This is enough for futex to
continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not
dereferenced or used by futex.  No other part of the VM should be
dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is
not on the LRU.

This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.

KVM: Increase NR_IOBUS_DEVS limit to 200

This patch increases the current hardcoded limit of NR_IOBUS_DEVS
from 6 to 200. We are hitting this limit when creating a guest with more
than 1 virtio-net device using vhost-net backend. Each virtio-net
device requires 2 such devices to service notifications from rx/tx queues.

KVM: fix the handling of dirty bitmaps to avoid overflows

2010-04-26T14:48:05+00:00

(Cherry-picked from commit 87bf6e7de1134f48681fd2ce4b7c1ec45458cb6d)

Int is not long enough to store the size of a dirty bitmap.

This patch fixes this problem with the introduction of a wrapper
function to calculate the sizes of dirty bitmaps.

Note: in mark_page_dirty(), we have to consider the fact that
  __set_bit() takes the offset as int, not long.
