2008-03-07x86-boot: don't request VBE2 informationPeter Korsgaard
The new x86 setup code (4fd06960f120) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data. Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's). E.G.: get_vbe_controller_info: 00002A9C 60 pushaw 00002A9D 1E push ds 00002A9E 0E push cs 00002A9F 1F pop ds 00002AA0 2BC9 sub cx,cx 00002AA2 6626813D56424532 cmp dword [es:di],0x32454256 ; "VBE2" 00002AAA 7501 jnz .1 00002AAC 41 inc cx .1: 00002AAD 51 push cx 00002AAE B91400 mov cx,0x14 00002AB1 BED47F mov si, controller_header 00002AB4 57 push di 00002AB5 F3A4 rep movsb ; copy vbe1.2 header 00002AB7 B9EC00 mov cx,0xec 00002ABA 2AC0 sub al,al 00002ABC F3AA rep stosb ; zero pad remainder 00002ABE 5F pop di 00002ABF E8EB0D call word get_memory 00002AC2 C1E002 shl ax,0x2 00002AC5 26894512 mov [es:di+0x12],ax ; total memory 00002AC9 26C745040003 mov word [es:di+0x4],0x300 ; VBE version 00002ACF 268C4D08 mov [es:di+0x8],cs 00002AD3 268C4D10 mov [es:di+0x10],cs 00002AD7 59 pop cx 00002AD8 E361 jcxz .done ; VBE2 requested? 00002ADA 8D9D0001 lea bx,[di+0x100] 00002ADE 53 push bx 00002ADF 87DF xchg bx,di ; di now points to 2nd half 00002AE1 26C747140001 mov word [es:bx+0x14],0x100 ; sw rev 00002AE7 26897F06 mov [es:bx+0x6],di ; oem string 00002AEB 268C4708 mov [es:bx+0x8],es 00002AEF BE5280 mov si,0x8052 ; oem string 00002AF2 E87A1B call word strcpy 00002AF5 26897F0E mov [es:bx+0xe],di ; video mode list 00002AF9 268C4710 mov [es:bx+0x10],es 00002AFD B91E00 mov cx,0x1e 00002B00 BEE87F mov si,vidmodes 00002B03 F3A5 rep movsw 00002B05 26897F16 mov [es:bx+0x16],di ; oem vendor 00002B09 268C4718 mov [es:bx+0x18],es 00002B0D BE2480 mov si,0x8024 ; oem vendor 00002B10 E85C1B call word strcpy 00002B13 26897F1A mov [es:bx+0x1a],di ; oem product 00002B17 268C471C mov [es:bx+0x1c],es 00002B1B BE3880 mov si,0x8038 ; oem product 00002B1E E84E1B call word strcpy 00002B21 26897F1E mov [es:bx+0x1e],di ; oem product rev 00002B25 268C4720 mov [es:bx+0x20],es 00002B29 BE4580 mov si,0x8045 ; oem product rev 00002B2C E8401B call word strcpy 00002B2F 58 pop ax 00002B30 B90001 mov cx,0x100 00002B33 2BCF sub cx,di 00002B35 03C8 add cx,ax 00002B37 2AC0 sub al,al 00002B39 F3AA rep stosb ; zero pad .done: 00002B3B 1F pop ds 00002B3C 61 popaw 00002B3D B84F00 mov ax,0x4f 00002B40 C3 ret (The full BIOS can be found at http://peter.korsgaard.com/vgabios.bin if interested).

convert_fxsr_to_user() in 2.6.24's i387_32.c did this, and convert_to_fxsr() also does the inverse, so I assume it's an oversight that it is no longer being done. [ mingo@elte.hu: we encode it this way because there's no space for the 'FPU Last Instruction Opcode' (->fop) field in the legacy user_i387_ia32_struct that PTRACE_GETFPREGS/PTRACE_SETFPREGS uses. it's probably pure legacy - i'd be surprised if any user-space relied on the FPU Last Opcode in any way.

2008-03-07x86: clear DF before calling signal handlerAurelien Jarno
The Linux kernel currently does not clear the direction flag before calling a signal handler, whereas the x86/x86-64 ABI requires that. Linux had this behavior/bug forever, but this becomes a real problem with gcc version 4.3, which assumes that the direction flag is correctly cleared at the entry of a function.

2008-03-04KVM: VMX: Avoid rearranging switched guest msrs while they are loadedAvi Kivity
KVM tries to run as much as possible with the guest msrs loaded instead of host msrs, since switching msrs is very expensive. It also tries to minimize the number of msrs switched according to the guest mode; for example, MSR_LSTAR is needed only by long mode guests. This optimization is done by setup_msrs(). However, we must not change which msrs are switched while we are running with guest msr state: - switch to guest msr state - call setup_msrs(), removing some msrs from the list - switch to host msr state, leaving a few guest msrs loaded An easy way to trigger this is to kexec an x86_64 linux guest. Early during setup, the guest will switch EFER to not include SCE. KVM will stop saving MSR_LSTAR, and on the next msr switch it will leave the guest LSTAR loaded. The next host syscall will end up in a random location in the kernel. Fix by reloading the host msrs before changing the msr list. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-03-04KVM: MMU: Fix race when instantiating a shadow pteAvi Kivity
For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other vcpus. This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be modified. The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have modified the pte without the shadow lock. However the assumption is incorrect, as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow page, before our vcpu regains control: vcpu0 vcpu1 fault walk pte modify pte fault in same pagetable instantiate shadow page lookup shadow page conclude it is old instantiate spte based on stale guest pte We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation unconditionally. The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can be quite fast. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

2008-03-03KVM: Make the supported cpuid list a host property rather than a vm propertyAvi Kivity
One of the use cases for the supported cpuid list is to create a "greatest common denominator" of cpu capabilities in a server farm. As such, it is useful to be able to get the list without creating a virtual machine first. Since the code does not depend on the vm in any way, all that is needed is to move it to the device ioctl handler. The capability identifier is also changed so that binaries made against -rc1 will fail gracefully. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

(The first two lines are printout loops from -git7 forward-ported to -git8, the third line is the same printout loop added just after the xor-with-cleared_cpu_caps[] loop.) Here's how the breakage occurs: 1. arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.c:tsc_init() sees !cpu_has_tsc, so bails and calls setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC). 2. include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h:setup_clear_cpu_cap(bit) clears the bit in boot_cpu_data and sets it in cleared_cpu_caps 3. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:identify_cpu() XORs all caps in with cleared_cpu_caps HOWEVER, at this point c->x86_capability correctly has TSC Off, cleared_cpu_caps has TSC On, so the XOR incorrectly sets TSC to On in c->x86_capability, with disastrous results. The real bug is that clearing bits with XOR only works if the bits are known to be 1 prior to the XOR, and that's not true here. A simple fix is to convert the XOR to AND-NOT instead. The following patch does that, and allows my 486 to boot 2.6.25-rc kernels again. [ mingo@elte.hu: fixed a similar bug in setup_64.c as well. ] The breakage was introduced via commit 7d851c8d3db0.

2008-02-26x86: make c_idle.work have a static address.Glauber Costa
Currently, c_idle is declared in the stack, and thus, have no static address. Peter Zijlstra points out this simple solution, in which c_idle.work is initializated separatedly. Note that the INIT_WORK macro has a static declaration of a key inside.

2008-02-26x86: don't save unreliable stack trace entriesVegard Nossum
Currently, there is no way for print_stack_trace() to determine whether a given stack trace entry was deemed reliable or not, simply because save_stack_trace() does not record this information. (Perhaps needless to say, this makes the saved stack traces A LOT harder to read, and probably with no other benefits, since debugging features that use save_stack_trace() most likely also require frame pointers, etc.) This patch reverts to the old behaviour of only recording the reliable trace entries for saved stack traces.

2008-02-26x86: fix vsyscall wreckageThomas Gleixner
based on a report from Arne Georg Gleditsch about user-space apps misbehaving after toggling /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64, a review of the code revealed that the "NOP patching" done there is fundamentally unsafe for a number of reasons: 1) the patching code runs without synchronizing other CPUs 2) it inserts NOPs even if there is no clock source which provides vread 3) when the clock source changes to one without vread we run in exactly the same problem as in #2 4) if nobody toggles the proc entry from 1 to 0 and to 1 again, then the syscall is not patched out as a result it is possible to break user-space via this patching. The only safe thing for now is to remove the patching. This code was broken since v2.6.21.

2008-02-26x86: rename KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE => KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZEIngo Molnar
The KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE constant was mis-named, as we not only map the kernel text but data, bss and init sections as well. That name led me on the wrong path with the KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE regression, because i knew how big of _text_ my images have and i knew about the 40 MB "text" limit so i wrongly thought to be on the safe side of the 40 MB limit with my 29 MB of text, while the total image size was slightly above 40 MB.

2008-02-26x86: fix spontaneous reboot with allyesconfig bzImageIngo Molnar
recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously rebooting during early bootup. after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel image: #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (40*1024*1024) which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass: text data bss dec hex filename 29703744 4222751 8646224 42572719 2899baf vmlinux 40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/ So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-) So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped. (should anyone be that crazy or lazy) We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather pointless and arbitrary.

2008-02-26x86: handle BIOSes which terminate e820 with CF=1 and no SMAPH. Peter Anvin
The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the last legitimate memory block. However, several BIOSes don't do that and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of the list. For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code in this case. To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820 chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a plain insane e820 implementation. However, we need to make the test for CF = 1 before the SMAP check. This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to spec. Signed-off-by: H.

2008-02-26x86: don't use P6_NOPs if compiling with CONFIG_X86_GENERICH. Peter Anvin
P6_NOPs are definitely not supported on some VIA CPUs, and possibly (unverified) on AMD K7s. It is also the only thing that prevents a 686 kernel from running on Transmeta TM3x00/5x00 (Crusoe) series. The performance benefit over generic NOPs is very small, so when building for generic consumption, avoid using them. Signed-off-by: H.
