x86: Clean up cr4 manipulation

2015-06-28T17:39:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 375074cc736ab1d89a708c0a8d7baa4a70d5d476 ] CR4 manipulation was split, seemingly at random, between direct (write_cr4) and using a helper (set/clear_in_cr4). Unfortunately, the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code, which only a small subset of users actually wanted. This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4 exactly the way they found it with new helpers cr4_set_bits, cr4_clear_bits, and cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot.

lguest: fix out-by-one error in address checking.

2015-06-09T17:43:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 83a35114d0e4583e6b0ca39502e68b6a92e2910c ] This bug has been there since day 1; addresses in the top guest physical page weren't considered valid. You could map that page (the check in check_gpte() is correct), but if a guest tried to put a pagetable there we'd check that address manually when walking it, and kill the guest.

mm/vmalloc.c: clean up map_vm_area third argument

2014-08-07T01:01:19+00:00

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument, and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages + nr_mappped_pages). It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area(). The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether map_vm_area() fails or not. This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates its callers accordingly.

drivers/lguest/page_tables.c: rename do_set_pte()

2014-04-07T23:35:52+00:00

"mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages()" wants to export a do_set_pte() from core kernel. Rename lguest's do_set_pte() to something more lguest-specific. Cc: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Cc: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

x86, asmlinkage, lguest: Pass in globals into assembler statement

2013-11-07T01:43:05+00:00

Tell the compiler that the inline assembler statement references lguest_entry. This fixes compile problems with LTO where the variable and the assembler code may end up in different files. Cc: x86@kernel.org Cc: rusty@rustcorp.com.au Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio_ring: change host notification API

2013-10-29T00:58:11+00:00

Currently a host kick error is silently ignored and not reflected in the virtqueue of a particular virtio device. Changing the notify API for guest->host notification seems to be one prerequisite in order to be able to handle such errors in the context where the kick is triggered. This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a bool return value. It returns false if the host notification failed. Signed-off-by: Heinz Graalfs Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

lguest: fix guest kernel stack overflow when TF bit set.

2013-09-05T22:39:27+00:00

The symptoms are that running gdb on a binary causes the guest to overflow the kernels stack (after some period of time), resulting in it finally being killed with a "Bad address" message. Reported-by: Sakari Ailus Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

lguest: fix BUG_ON() in invalid guest page table.

2013-09-05T22:39:26+00:00

If we discover the entry is invalid, we kill the guest, but we must avoid calling gpte_addr() on the invalid pmd, otherwise: kernel BUG at drivers/lguest/page_tables.c:157! Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell
