The AMD SVM instruction family all overload the 0f 01 /3 opcode, further
multiplexing on the three r/m bits. But the code decided that anything that
isn't a vmmcall must be an lidt (which shares the 0f 01 /3 opcode, for the
case that mod = 3).
Fix by aborting emulation if this isn't a vmmcall.

If cr4.pge is cleared, we ought to treat any ptes in the page as non-global.
This allows us to remove the check from set_spte().

Don't allow a vcpu with cr4.pge cleared to use a shadow page created with
cr4.pge set; this might cause a cr3 switch not to sync ptes that have the
global bit set (the global bit has no effect if !cr4.pge).
This can only occur on smp with different cr4.pge settings for different
vcpus (since a cr4 change will resync the shadow ptes), but there's no
cost to being correct here.

Instead of "calculating" it on every shadow page allocation, set it once
when switching modes, and copy it when allocating pages.
This doesn't buy us much, but sets up the stage for inheriting more
information related to the mmu setup.

So far KVM only had basic x86 debug register support, once introduced to
realize guest debugging that way. The guest itself was not able to use
those registers.
This patch now adds (almost) full support for guest self-debugging via
hardware registers. It refactors the code, moving generic parts out of
SVM (VMX was already cleaned up by the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG patches), and
it ensures that the registers are properly switched between host and
guest.
This patch also prepares debug register usage by the host. The latter
will (once wired-up by the following patch) allow for hardware
breakpoints/watchpoints in guest code. If this is enabled, the guest
will only see faked debug registers without functionality, but with
content reflecting the guest's modifications.
Tested on Intel only, but SVM /should/ work as well, but who knows...
Known limitations: Trapping on tss switch won't work - most probably on
Intel.
Credits also go to Joerg Roedel - I used his once posted debugging
series as platform for this patch.

When single-stepping over STI and MOV SS, we must clear the
corresponding interruptibility bits in the guest state. Otherwise
vmentry fails as it then expects bit 14 (BS) in pending debug exceptions
being set, but that's not correct for the guest debugging case.
Note that clearing those bits is safe as we check for interruptibility
based on the original state and do not inject interrupts or NMIs if
guest interruptibility was blocked.

This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.
To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.
The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.
Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

Userspace has to tell the kernel module somehow that nested SVM should be used.
The easiest way that doesn't break anything I could think of is to implement
if (cpuid & svm)
allow write to efer
else
deny write to efer
Old userspaces mask the SVM capability bit, so they don't break.
In order to find out that the SVM capability is set, I had to split the
kvm_emulate_cpuid into a finding and an emulating part.

This patch implements VMRUN. VMRUN enters a virtual CPU and runs that
in the same context as the normal guest CPU would run.
So basically it is implemented the same way, a normal CPU would do it.
We also prepare all intercepts that get OR'ed with the original
intercepts, as we do not allow a level 2 guest to be intercepted less
than the first level guest.
v2 implements the following improvements:
- fixes the CPL check
- does not allocate iopm when not used
- remembers the host's IF in the HIF bit in the hflags
v3:
- make use of the new permission checking
- add support for V_INTR_MASKING_MASK
v4:
- use host page backed hsave
v5:
- remove IOPM merging code
v6:
- save cr4 so PAE l1 guests work

This patch implements the GIF flag and the clgi and stgi instructions that
set this flag. Only if the flag is set (default), interrupts can be received by
the CPU.
To keep the information about that somewhere, this patch adds a new hidden
flags vector. that is used to store information that does not go into the
vmcb, but is SVM specific.
I tried to write some code to make -no-kvm-irqchip work too, but the first

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't
previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain
architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation
formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading.
While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the
previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

This patch fixes bug #12208:
Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host
This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.
The problem is this:
- task A is ptracing task B
- task B stops on a trace event
- task A is woken up and preempts task B
- task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
- this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
- task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
- ...
Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.
This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.
Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

This patch fixes the issue by removing offending (and somewhat
duplicate) code from init_phy() routine, and changes _probe()
function to use uec_mdio_bus_name().
Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine,
we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in
ucc_geth_info structure.
I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only
way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been
tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions
expected.

This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls
request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is
correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that
behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its
IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked.
So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the
IRQ handler.
NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which
lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED
on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a
single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page().
However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or
ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is
stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front
field.
ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using
num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to
the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K
was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single,
zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of
kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets
in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K.
This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with
num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages
along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents().
Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with
me to find the problem. 2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this

This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core
pci_set_power_state(). The chip seems to need the state to be written
over and over again until it sticks, so we do that.
Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc... but that's
pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to
be before the regression. I still add a call to pci_set_power_state()
at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.

The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a
bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list
(harness/cases/3.p).
Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process
exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio
(since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0).
The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless"
(commit abf137dd7712132ee56d5b3143c2ff61a72a5faa).
Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not
return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was
not found.
