2009-05-15kgdb,i386: use address that SP register points to in the exception frameJason Wessel
The treatment of the SP register is different on x86_64 and i386. This is a regression fix that lived outside the mainline kernel from 2.6.27 to now. The regression was a result of the original merge consolidation of the i386 and x86_64 archs to x86. The incorrectly reported SP on i386 prevented stack tracebacks from working correctly in gdb.

2009-05-11KVM: SVM: Remove port 80 passthroughAvi Kivity
KVM optimizes guest port 80 accesses by passthing them through to the host. Some AMD machines die on port 80 writes, allowing the guest to hard-lock the host. Remove the port passthrough to avoid the problem.

2009-05-07x86, kexec: fix crashdump panic with CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMPHuang Ying
Tim Starling reported that crashdump will panic with kernel compiled with CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP due to null pointer deference in machine_kexec_32.c: machine_kexec(), when deferencing kexec_image. Refering to: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13265 This patch fixes the BUG via replacing global variable reference: kexec_image in machine_kexec() with local variable reference: image, which is more appropriate, and will not be null. Same BUG is in machine_kexec_64.c too, so fixed too in the same way.

2009-04-30x86: gettimeofday() vDSO: fix segfault when tv == NULLJohn Wright
According to the gettimeofday(2) manual: If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not set or returned. Since it is legal to give NULL as the tv argument, the code should make sure tv is not NULL before trying to dereference it. This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >= 2.7). A simple reproducer: #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/time.h> int main(void) { struct timezone tz; gettimeofday(NULL, &tz); return 0; } See http://bugs.debian.org/466491 for more details.

2009-04-21FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()David Howells
In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.

2009-04-21x86: more than 8 32-bit CPUs requires X86_BIGSMPMichael K. Johnson
$ cat x86-more-than-8-cpus-requires-bigsmp.patch Enforce NR_CPUS <= 8 limitation if X86_BIGSMP not set Configuring more than 8 logical CPUs on 32-bit x86 requires X86_BIGSMP to be set in order to boot successfully, if more than 8 logical CPUs are actually found at boot time. The X86_BIGSMP help text describes that it is required to be set if more than 8 CPUs are configured, but this was previously not enforced.

2009-04-21x86: avoid theoretical spurious NMI backtraces with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=yRusty Russell
In theory (though not shown in practice) alloc_cpumask_var() doesn't zero memory, so CPUs might print an "NMI backtrace for cpu %d" once on boot. (Bug introduced in fcef8576d8a64fc603e719c97d423f9f6d4e0e8b).

2009-04-21x86: fix boot crash in NMI watchdog with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y and flat APICRusty Russell
fcef8576d8a64fc603e719c97d423f9f6d4e0e8b converted backtrace_mask to a cpumask_var_t, and assumed check_nmi_watchdog was called before nmi_watchdog_tick was ever called. Steven's oops shows I was wrong. This is something of a bandaid: I'm not sure we *should* be calling nmi_watchdog_tick before check_nmi_watchdog. Note that gcc eliminates this test for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case.

2009-04-20x86-64: fix FPU corruption with signals and preemptionSuresh Siddha
In 64bit signal delivery path, clear_used_math() was happening before saving the current active FPU state on to the user stack for signal handling. Between clear_used_math() and the state store on to the user stack, potentially we can get a page fault for the user address and can block. Infact, while testing we were hitting the might_fault() in __clear_user() which can do a schedule(). At a later point in time, we will schedule back into this process and resume the save state (using "xsave/fxsave" instruction) which can lead to DNA fault. And as used_math was cleared before, we will reinit the FP state in the DNA fault and continue. This reinit will result in loosing the FPU state of the process. Move clear_used_math() to a point after the FPU state has been stored onto the user stack. This issue is present from a long time (even before the xsave changes and the x86 merge). But it can easily be exposed in 2.6.28.x and 2.6.29.x series because of the __clear_user() in this path, which has an explicit __cond_resched() leading to a context switch with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY.

2009-04-20x86/uv: fix for no memory at paddr 0Jack Steiner
Fix endcase where the memory at physical address 0 does not really exist AND one of the sockets on blade 0 has no active cpus. The memory that _appears_ to be at physical address 0 is actually memory that located at a different address but has been remapped by the chipset so that it appears to be at physical address 0. When determining the UV pnode, the algorithm for determining the pnode incorrectly used the relocated physical address instead of the actual (global) address.
