With NUMA emulation, it's possible for a single cpu to be bound to multiple nodes since more than one may have affinity if allocated on a physical node that is local to the cpu. APIC ids must therefore be mapped to the lowest node ids to maintain generic kernel use of functions such as cpu_to_node() that determine device affinity. For example, if a device has proximity to physical node 1, for instance, and a cpu happens to be mapped to a higher emulated node id 8, the proximity may not be correctly determined by comparison in generic code even though the cpu may be truly local and allocated on physical node 1. When this happens, the true topology of the machine isn't accurately represented in the emulated environment; although this isn't critical to the system's uptime, any generic code that is NUMA aware benefits from the physical topology being accurately represented. This can affect any system that maps multiple APIC ids to a single node and is booted with numa=fake=N where N is greater than the number of physical nodes. Signed-off-by:

When specifying the 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter, the kernel will stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that relates to commit 8827247f. The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of 'slot_virt[i]' was initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init(). But later in setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will modify 'FIXADDR_TOP' when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified. The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated value of 'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference old value from slot_virt[slot] directly. Changelog since v0: -v1: When reservetop being handled then FIXADDR_TOP get adjusted, Hence check prev_map then re-initialize slot_virt and PMD based on new FIXADDR_TOP. -v2: place fixup_early_ioremap hence call early_ioremap_init in reserve_top_address to re-initialize slot_virt and corresponding PMD when parse_reservertop -v3: move fixup_early_ioremap out of reserve_top_address to make sure other clients of reserve_top_address like xen/lguest won't broken Signed-off-by:

ACPI _CRS Address Space Descriptors have _MIN, _MAX, and _LEN. Linux has been computing Address Spaces as [_MIN to _MIN + _LEN - 1]. Based on the tests in the bug reports below, Windows apparently uses [_MIN to _MAX]. Per spec (ACPI 4.0, Table 6-40), for _CRS fixed-size, fixed location descriptors, "_LEN must be (_MAX - _MIN + 1)", and when that's true, it doesn't matter which way we compute the end. But of course, there are BIOSes that don't follow this rule, and we're better off if Linux handles those exceptions the same way as Windows. This patch makes Linux use [_MIN to _MAX], as Windows seems to do. This effectively reverts d558b483 and 03db42ad and replaces them with simpler code. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14337 (round) https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15480 (truncate) Signed-off-by:

This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon. We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity) expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with virtio. There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like to get this driver upstream. We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have "upstream first" requirement. The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all. Signed-off-by:

Atom erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41: "If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE (page directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through this PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old TLB entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then it may fetch from a different physical address than specified by either the old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page translation. This erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from incorrect addresses." [http://download.intel.com/design/processor/specupdt/319536.pdf ] Where as commit 211b3d03 seems to workaround errata AAH41 (mixed 4K TLBs) it reduces the window of opportunity for the bug to occur and does not totally remove it. This patch disables mixed 4K/4MB page tables totally avoiding the page splitting and not tripping this processor issue. This is based on an original patch by Colin King. Originally-by:

When we do a thread switch, we clear the outgoing FS/GS base if the corresponding selector is nonzero. This is taken by __switch_to() as an entry invariant; it does not verify that it is true on entry. However, copy_thread() doesn't enforce this constraint, which can result in inconsistent results after fork(). Make copy_thread() match the behavior of __switch_to(). Reported-and-tested-by:

This adds support for Memory24, Memory32, and Memory32Fixed descriptors in PCI host bridge _CRS. I experimentally determined that Windows (2008 R2) accepts these descriptors and treats them as windows that are forwarded to the PCI bus, e.g., if it finds any PCI devices with BARs outside the windows, it moves them into the windows. I don't know whether any machines actually use these descriptors in PCI host bridge _CRS methods, but if any exist and they're new enough that we automatically turn on "pci=use_crs", they will work with Windows but not with Linux.

Before commit e28cbf22 ("improve sys_newuname() for compat architectures") 64-bit x86 had a private implementation of sys_uname which was just called sys_uname, which other architectures used for the old uname. Due to some merge issues with the uname refactoring patches we ended up calling the old uname version for both the old and new system call slots, which lead to the domainname filed never be set which caused failures with libnss_nis.

Currently we set eflags.vm unconditionally when entering real mode emulation through virtual-8086 mode, and clear it unconditionally when we enter protected mode. The means that the following sequence KVM_SET_REGS (rflags.vm=1) KVM_SET_SREGS (cr0.pe=1) Ends up with rflags.vm clear due to KVM_SET_SREGS triggering enter_pmode(). Fix by shadowing rflags.vm (and rflags.iopl) correctly while in real mode: reads and writes to those bits access a shadow register instead of the actual register. Signed-off-by:

There is a quirk for AMD K8 CPUs in many Linux kernels (see arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c:__mcheck_cpu_apply_quirks()) that clears bit 10 in that MCE related MSR. KVM can only cope with all zeros or all ones, so it will inject a #GP into the guest, which will let it panic. So lets add a quirk to the quirk and ignore this single cleared bit. This fixes -cpu kvm64 on all machines and -cpu host on K8 machines with some guest Linux kernels. Signed-off-by:

This is a partial revert of 4cd8b5e2 "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. Signed-off-by:

When we fetch the hot regs and rewind to the nth caller, it might happen that we dereference a frame pointer outside the kernel stack boundaries, like in this example: perf_trace_sched_switch+0xd5/0x120 schedule+0x6b5/0x860 retint_careful+0xd/0x21 Since we directly dereference a userspace frame pointer here while rewinding behind retint_careful, this may end up in a crash. Fix this by simply using probe_kernel_address() when we rewind the frame pointer. This issue will have a much more proper fix in the next version of the perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() API that will only need to rewind to the first caller. Reported-by: -

ACPI Address Space Descriptors (used in _CRS) have a Consumer/Producer bit that is supposed to distinguish regions that are consumed directly by a device from those that are forwarded ("produced") by a bridge. But BIOSes have apparently not used this consistently, and Windows seems to ignore it, so I think Linux should ignore it as well. I can't point to any of these supposed broken BIOSes, but since we now rely on _CRS by default, I think it's safer to ignore this bit from the start.

Hit another kdump problem as reported by Neil Horman. When initializaing the IOMMU, we attach devices to their domains before the IOMMU is fully (re)initialized. Attaching a device will issue some important invalidations. In the context of the newly kexec'd kdump kernel, the IOMMU may have stale cached data from the original kernel. Because we do the attach too early, the invalidation commands are placed in the new command buffer before the IOMMU is updated w/ that buffer. This leaves the stale entries in the kdump context and can renders device unusable. Simply enable the IOMMU before we do the attach.

Jan Grossmann reported kernel boot panic while booting SMP kernel on his system with a single core cpu. SMP kernels call enable_IR_x2apic() from native_smp_prepare_cpus() and on platforms where the kernel doesn't find SMP configuration we ended up again calling enable_IR_x2apic() from the APIC_init_uniprocessor() call in the smp_sanity_check(). Thus leading to kernel panic. Don't call enable_IR_x2apic() and default_setup_apic_routing() from APIC_init_uniprocessor() in CONFIG_SMP case. NOTE: this kind of non-idempotent and assymetric initialization sequence is rather fragile and unclean, we'll clean that up in v2.6.35. This is the minimal fix for v2.6.34. Reported-by:

When profiling a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, callgraph tracing stopped after the first function, because it has seen a garbage memory address (tried to interpret the frame pointer, and return address as a 64-bit pointer). Fix this by using a struct stack_frame with 32-bit pointers when the TIF_IA32 flag is set. Note that TIF_IA32 flag must be used, and not is_compat_task(), because the latter is only set when the 32-bit process is executing a syscall, which may not always be the case (when tracing page fault events for example).
