x86, paravirt, xen: Remove the 64-bit ->irq_enable_sysexit() pvop

2015-04-22T06:07:45+00:00

We don't use irq_enable_sysexit on 64-bit kernels any more. Remove all the paravirt and Xen machinery to support it on 64-bit kernels.

x86: expose number of page table levels on Kconfig level

2015-04-14T23:49:02+00:00

We would want to use number of page table level to define mm_struct. Let's expose it as CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" Tested-by: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kprobes, x86: Prohibit probing on native_set_debugreg()/load_idt()

2014-04-24T08:02:58+00:00

Since the kprobes uses do_debug for single stepping, functions called from do_debug() before notify_die() must not be probed. And also native_load_idt() is called from paranoid_exit when returning int3, this also must not be probed.

kprobes: Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro to maintain kprobes blacklist

2014-04-24T08:02:56+00:00

Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro which builds a kprobes blacklist at kernel build time. The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(), placed after the function definition: NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function); Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller. When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section. Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the macro (because there is no "size" information), those are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.

Merge branch 'x86-paravirt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2013-04-30T15:41:21+00:00

Pull x86 paravirt update from Ingo Molnar: "Various paravirtualization related changes - the biggest one makes guest support optional via CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST" * 'x86-paravirt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, wakeup, sleep: Use pvops functions for changing GDT entries x86, xen, gdt: Remove the pvops variant of store_gdt. x86-32, gdt: Store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernation/resume path is not needed x86-64, gdt: Store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernate/resume path is not needed. x86: Make Linux guest support optional x86, Kconfig: Move PARAVIRT_DEBUG into the paravirt menu

x86, xen, gdt: Remove the pvops variant of store_gdt.

2013-04-11T22:40:38+00:00

The two use-cases where we needed to store the GDT were during ACPI S3 suspend and resume. As the patches: x86/gdt/i386: store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernation/resume path is not needed x86/gdt/64-bit: store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernate/resume path is not needed. have demonstrated - there are other mechanism by which the GDT is saved and reloaded during early resume path. Hence we do not need to worry about the pvops call-chain for saving the GDT and can and can eliminate it. The other areas where the store_gdt is used are never going to be hit when running under the pvops platforms.

x86, mm: Patch out arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() when running on bare metal

2013-04-10T18:25:10+00:00

Invoking arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() results in calls to preempt_enable()/disable() which may have performance impact. Since lazy MMU is not used on bare metal we can patch away arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() so that it is never called in such environment. [ hpa: the previous patch "Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU updates" may cause a minor performance regression on bare metal. This patch resolves that performance regression. It is somewhat unclear to me if this is a good -stable candidate. ] Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1364045796-10720-2-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com Tested-by: Josh Boyer Tested-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Acked-by: Borislav Petkov Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Signed-off-by: H.
