Usually, big real mode uses large (4GB) segments. Currently we don't
virtualize this; if any segment has a limit other than 0xffff, we emulate.
But if we set the vmx-visible limit to 0xffff, we can use vm86 to virtualize
real mode; if an access overruns the segment limit, the guest will #GP, which
we will trap and forward to the emulator. This results in significantly
faster execution, and less risk of hitting an unemulated instruction.
If the limit is less than 0xffff, we retain the existing behaviour.

When we are finished with return PFNs to the hypervisor, then

be used for ballooning. We were off by one, and ended up
over-writting a P2M entry that most likely was an IDENTITY_FRAME.
For example:
1-1 mapping on 40000->40200
1-1 mapping on bc558->bc5ac
1-1 mapping on bc5b4->bc8c5
1-1 mapping on bc8c6->bcb7c
1-1 mapping on bcd00->100000
Released 614 pages of unused memory
Set 277889 page(s) to 1-1 mapping
Populating 40200-40466 pfn range: 614 pages added
=> here we set from 40466 up to bc559 P2M tree to be
INVALID_P2M_ENTRY. We should have done it up to bc558.
The end result is that if anybody is trying to construct
a PTE for PFN bc558 they end up with ~PAGE_PRESENT.

Commit be62adb492 ("x86, microcode, AMD: Simplify ucode verification")
added current_size in get_matching_microcode(). This is calculated as
size of the ucode patch + 8 (ie. size of the header). Later this is
compared against the maximum possible ucode patch size for a CPU family.
And of course this fails if the patch has already maximum size.

The sub-register used to access the stack (sp, esp, or rsp) is not
determined by the address size attribute like other memory references,
but by the stack segment's B bit (if not in x86_64 mode).
Fix by using the existing stack_mask() to figure out the correct mask.
This long-existing bug was exposed by a combination of a27685c33a
(emulate invalid guest state by default), which causes many more
instructions to be emulated, and a seabios change (possibly a bug) which
causes the high 16 bits of esp to become polluted across calls to real

Although the possible race described in
commit 85b7059169
KVM: MMU: fix shrinking page from the empty mmu
was correct, the real cause of that issue was a more trivial bug of
mmu_shrink() introduced by
commit 1952639665
KVM: MMU: do not iterate over all VMs in mmu_shrink()
Here is the bug:
if (kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages > 0) {
if (!nr_to_scan--)
break;
continue;
}
We skip VMs whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero and try to shrink others:
in other words we try to shrink empty ones by mistake.
This patch reverses the logic so that mmu_shrink() can free pages from
the first VM whose n_used_mmu_pages is not zero. Note that we also add
comments explaining the role of nr_to_scan which is not practically
important now, hoping this will be improved in the future.

When one CPU is going down and this CPU is the last one in irq
affinity, current code is setting cpu_all_mask as the new
affinity for that irq.
But for some systems (such as in Medfield Android mobile) the
firmware sends the interrupt to each CPU in the irq affinity
mask, averaged, and cpu_all_mask includes all potential CPUs,
i.e. offline ones as well.
So replace cpu_all_mask with cpu_online_mask.

Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly
accounted for in _mapcount. Normally the rules for this are
straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different. The page
table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount
remains the same.
If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by
Larry Woodman:

During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()
shared page tables with the check dst_pte == src_pte. The logic is if
the PMD page is the same, they must be shared. This assumes that the
sharing is between the parent and child. However, if the sharing is
with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this
diagram:
parent
|
------------>pmd
src_pte----------> data page
^
other--------->pmd--------------------|
^
child-----------|
dst_pte
For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to
have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other. This is
possible due to the following style of race.
PROC A PROC B
copy_hugetlb_page_range copy_hugetlb_page_range
src_pte == huge_pte_offset src_pte == huge_pte_offset
!src_pte so no sharing !src_pte so no sharing
(time passes)
hugetlb_fault hugetlb_fault
huge_pte_alloc huge_pte_alloc
huge_pmd_share huge_pmd_share
LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
find nothing, no sharing
UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
find nothing, no sharing
UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
pmd_alloc pmd_alloc
LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
fault
UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
fault
UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not
sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed. When either
process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient.
As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in
(harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a
shared page table leading to the BUG_ON.
This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share
which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical
section as pmd. This also means that huge_pte_offset test in
huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the
success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud
and pmd populated together.
Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman.

A x32 socket ABI fix with a -stable backport tag among other fixes.
* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x32: Use compat shims for {g,s}etsockopt
Revert "x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock"
x86, apic: fix broken legacy interrupts in the logical apic mode
x86, build: Globally set -fno-pic
x86, avx: don't use avx instructions with "noxsave" boot param
Some of the arguments to {g,s}etsockopt are passed in userland pointers.
If we try to use the 64bit entry point, we end up sometimes failing.
For example, dhcpcd doesn't run in x32:
# dhcpcd eth0
dhcpcd[1979]: version 5.5.6 starting
dhcpcd[1979]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd[1979]: eth0: open_socket: Invalid argument
dhcpcd[1979]: eth0: send_raw_packet: Bad file descriptor
The code in particular is getting back EINVAL when doing:
struct sock_fprog pf;
setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, &pf, sizeof(pf));
Diving into the kernel code, we can see:
include/linux/filter.h:
struct sock_fprog {
unsigned short len;
struct sock_filter __user *filter;
};
net/core/sock.c:
case SO_ATTACH_FILTER:
ret = -EINVAL;
if (optlen == sizeof(struct sock_fprog)) {
struct sock_fprog fprog;
ret = -EFAULT;
if (copy_from_user(&fprog, optval, sizeof(fprog)))
break;
ret = sk_attach_filter(&fprog, sk);
}
break;
arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl:
54 common setsockopt sys_setsockopt
55 common getsockopt sys_getsockopt
So for x64, sizeof(sock_fprog) is 16 bytes. For x86/x32, it's 8 bytes.
This comes down to the pointer being 32bit for x32, which means we need
to do structure size translation. But since x32 comes in directly to
sys_setsockopt, it doesn't get translated like x86.
After changing the syscall table and rebuilding glibc with the new kernel
headers, dhcp runs fine in an x32 userland.
Oddly, it seems like Linus noted the same thing during the initial port,
but I guess that was missed/lost along the way:

Pull Xen fix from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Way back in v3.5 we added a mechanism to populate back pages that were
released (they overlapped with MMIO regions), but neglected to reserve
the proper amount of virtual space for extend_brk to work properly.
Coincidentally some other commit aligned the _brk space to larger area
so I didn't trigger this until it was run on a machine with more than
2GB of MMIO space."
* On machines with large MMIO/PCI E820 spaces we fail to boot b/c
we failed to pre-allocate large enough virtual space for extend_brk.
* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.6-rc1-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
xen/p2m: Reserve 8MB of _brk space for P2M leafs when populating back.
This reverts commit 00e37bdb01.
During shutdown of PVHVM guests with more than 2VCPUs on certain
machines we can hit the race where the replaced shared_info is not
replaced fast enough and the PV time clock retries reading the same
area over and over without any any success and is stuck in an
infinite loop.
