commit 7b27718bdb1b70166383dec91391df5534d449ee upstream
yesterday I tried to reactivate my old 486 box and wanted to install a
current Linux with latest kernel on it. But it turned out that the
latest kernel does not boot because the machine crashes early in the
setup code.
After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the query_ist()
function. If this interrupt with that function is called the machine
simply locks up. It looks like a BIOS bug. Looking for a workaround for
this problem I wrote the attached patch. It checks for the CPUID
instruction and if it is not implemented it does not call the speedstep
BIOS function. As far as I know speedstep should be available since some
Pentium earliest.
Alan Cox observed that it's available since the Pentium II, so cpuid
levels 4 and 5 can be excluded altogether.
H. Peter Anvin cleaned up the code some more:
> Right in concept, but I dislike the implementation (duplication of the
> CPU detect code we already have). Could you try this patch and see if
> it works for you?
which, with a small modification to fix a build error with it the
resulting kernel boots on my machine.

(cherry-picked from commit 577bdc496614ced56d999bbb425e85adf2386490)
When an event (such as an interrupt) is injected, and the stack is
shadowed (and therefore write protected), the guest will exit. The
current code will see that the stack is shadowed and emulate a few
instructions, each time postponing the injection. Eventually the
injection may succeed, but at that time the guest may be unwilling
to accept the interrupt (for example, the TPR may have changed).
This occurs every once in a while during a Windows 2008 boot.
Fix by unshadowing the fault address if the fault was due to an event
injection.

how I love this stuff...
Ok, do_debug() is a trap, this can happen at any time regardless of the
machine's IRQ state. So the first thing we do is fix up the IRQ state.
Then we call this die notifier stuff; and return with messed up IRQ
state... YAY.
So, kprobes fudges it..
notify_die(DIE_DEBUG)
kprobe_exceptions_notify()
post_kprobe_handler()
modify regs->flags
trace_hardirqs_fixup_flags(regs->flags); <--- must be it
So what's the use of modifying flags if they're not meant to take effect
at some point.
/me tries to reproduce issue; enable kprobes test thingy && boot
OK, that reproduces..
So the below makes it work - but I'm not getting this code; at the time
I wrote that stuff I CC'ed each and every kprobe maintainer listed in
the usual places but got no reposonse - can some please explain this
stuff to me?
Are the saved flags only for the TF bit or are they made in full effect
later (and if so, where) ?

commit d536b1f86591fb081c7a56eab04e711eb4dab951 upstream
currently if you use PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK on AMD K6-3 (i586) it will crash.
Kernel now wrongly assumes existing DEBUGCTLMSR MSR register there.
Removed the assumption also for some other non-K6 CPUs but I am not sure there
(but it can only bring small inefficiency there if my assumption is wrong).
Based on info from Roland McGrath, Chuck Ebbert and Mikulas Patocka.

Commit 3bf2e77453a87c22eb57ed4926760ac131c84459 upstream
x86, suspend, acpi: enter Big Real Mode
The explanation for recent video BIOS suspend quirk failures is that
the VESA BIOS expects to be entered in Big Real Mode (*.limit = 0xffffffff)
instead of ordinary Real Mode (*.limit = 0xffff).
This patch changes the segment descriptors to Big Real Mode instead.
The segment descriptor registers (what Intel calls "segment cache") is
always active. The only thing that changes based on CR0.PE is how it is
*loaded* and the interpretation of the CS flags.
The segment descriptor registers contain of the following sub-registers:
selector (the "visible" part), base, limit and flags. In protected mode
or long mode, they are loaded from descriptors (or fs.base or gs.base can
be manipulated directly in long mode.) In real mode, the only thing
changed by a segment register load is the selector and the base, where the
base <- selector << 4. In particular, *the limit and the flags are not
changed*.
As far as the handling of the CS flags: a code segment cannot be writable
in protected mode, whereas it is "just another segment" in real mode, so
there is some kind of quirk that kicks in for this when CR0.PE <- 0. I'm
not sure if this is accomplished by actually changing the cs.flags register
or just changing the interpretation; it might be something that is
CPU-specific. In particular, the Transmeta CPUs had an explicit "CS is
writable if you're in real mode" override, so even if you had loaded CS
with an execute-only segment it'd be writable (but not readable!) on return
to real mode. I'm not at all sure if that is how other CPUs behave.

ptrace has always returned only -EIO for all failures to access
registers. The user_regset calls are allowed to return a more
meaningful variety of errors. The REGSET_XFP calls use -ENODEV

-EIO instead of the error code from the user_regset call.

The direct mapped shadow code (used for real mode and two dimensional paging)
sets upper-level ptes using direct assignment rather than calling
set_shadow_pte(). A nonpae host will split this into two writes, which opens
up a race if another vcpu accesses the same memory area.
Fix by calling set_shadow_pte() instead of assigning directly.

This patch fixes issue encountered with HLT instruction
under FreeDOS's HIMEM XMS Driver.
The HLT instruction jumped directly to the done label and
skips updating the EIP value, therefore causing the guest
to spin endlessly on the same instruction.
The patch changes the instruction so that it writes back
the updated EIP value.

Some Dell laptops enter resume with apparent garbage in the segment
descriptor registers (almost certainly the result of a botched
transition from protected to real mode.) The only way to clean that
up is to enter protected mode ourselves and clean out the descriptor
registers.
This fixes resume on Dell XPS M1210 and Dell D620.

resume causes 32-bit Intel Mac machines to reboot very early when

The EFI code appears to manage low mappings for itself when needed; but
like many before it, confuses PSE with PAE. So it has only been mapping
half the space it needed when PSE but not PAE. This remained unnoticed
until we moved the SMP zap_low_mappings() before
efi_enter_virtual_mode(). Presumably could have been noticed years ago
if anyone ran a UP kernel on such machines?

On 2.6.25, ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPXREGS, ...) returns ENODEV.
But 2.6.24 kernel's ptrace() returns EIO.
It is issue of compatibility.
I attached test program as pt.c and patch for fix it.

Vegard Nossum reported crashes during cpu hotplug tests:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121413950227884&w=4
In function _cpu_up, the panic happens when calling
__raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time. Kernel doesn't panic when
calling it at the first time. If just say because of nr_cpu_ids, that's
not right.
By checking the source code, I found that function do_boot_cpu is the culprit.
Consider below call chain:
_cpu_up=>__cpu_up=>smp_ops.cpu_up=>native_cpu_up=>do_boot_cpu.
So do_boot_cpu is called in the end. In do_boot_cpu, if
boot_error==true, cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_possible_map) is executed. So later
on, when _cpu_up calls __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time to
report CPU_UP_CANCELED, because this cpu is already cleared from
cpu_possible_map, get_cpu_sysdev returns NULL.
Many resources are related to cpu_possible_map, so it's better not to
change it.
Below patch against 2.6.26-rc7 fixes it by removing the bit clearing in
cpu_possible_map.

This patch updates the kvm host code to use the pvclock structs
and functions, thereby making it compatible with Xen.
The patch also fixes an initialization bug: on SMP systems the
per-cpu has two different locations early at boot and after CPU
bringup. kvmclock must take that in account when registering the
physical address within the host.

This patch adds structs for the paravirt clocksource ABI
used by both xen and kvm (pvclock-abi.h).
It also adds some helper functions to read system time and
wall clock time from a paravirtual clocksource (pvclock.[ch]).
They are based on the xen code. They are enabled using
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK.
Subsequent patches of this series will put the code in use.

Non-PAE operation has been deprecated in Xen for a while, and is
rarely tested or used. xen-unstable has now officially dropped
non-PAE support. Since Xen/pvops' non-PAE support has also been
broken for a while, we may as well completely drop it altogether.

Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to
the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching
virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has
guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same
time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall.
Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr
switching during bootup.

KVM has a heuristic to unshadow guest pagetables when userspace accesses
them, on the assumption that most guests do not allow userspace to access
pagetables directly. Unfortunately, in addition to unshadowing the pagetables,
it also oopses.
This never triggers on ordinary guests since sane OSes will clear the
pagetables before assigning them to userspace, which will trigger the flood
heuristic, unshadowing the pagetables before the first userspace access. One
particular guest, though (Xenner) will run the kernel in userspace, triggering
the oops. Since the heuristic is incorrect in this case, we can simply
remove it.

kvm_mmu_pte_write() does not handle 32-bit non-PAE large page backed
guests properly. It will instantiate two 2MB sptes pointing to the same
physical 2MB page when a guest large pte update is trapped.
Instead of duplicating code to handle this, disallow directory level
updates to happen through kvm_mmu_pte_write(), so the two 2MB sptes
emulating one guest 4MB pte can be correctly created by the page fault
handling path.

rmap_next() does not work correctly after rmap_remove(), as it expects
the rmap chains not to change during iteration. Fix (for now) by restarting
iteration from the beginning.

If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before
local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such
timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit.
It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done
with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen.
For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

A guest vcpu instance can be scheduled to a different physical CPU
between the test for KVM_REQ_MIGRATE_TIMER and local_irq_disable().
If that happens, the timer will only be migrated to the current pCPU on
the next exit, meaning that guest LAPIC timer event can be delayed until
a host interrupt is triggered.
Fix it by cancelling guest entry if any vcpu request is pending. This
has the side effect of nicely consolidating vcpu->requests checks.
