2014-12-28kvm: fix sorting of memslots with base_gfn == 0Paolo Bonzini1-5/+17
Before commit 0e60b0799fed (kvm: change memslot sorting rule from size to GFN, 2014-12-01), the memslots' sorting key was npages, meaning that a valid memslot couldn't have its sorting key equal to zero. On the other hand, a valid memslot can have base_gfn == 0, and invalid memslots are identified by base_gfn == npages == 0. Because of this, commit 0e60b0799fed broke the invariant that invalid memslots are at the end of the mslots array. When a memslot with base_gfn == 0 was created, any invalid memslot before it were left in place. This can be fixed by changing the insertion to use a ">=" comparison instead of "<=", but some care is needed to avoid breaking the case of deleting a memslot; see the comment in update_memslots. Thanks to Tiejun Chen for posting an initial patch for this bug.

The __ldcw macro has a problem when its argument needs to be reloaded from memory. The output memory operand and the input register operand both need to be reloaded using a register in class R1_REGS when generating 64-bit code. This fails because there's only a single register in the class. Instead, use a memory clobber. This also makes the __ldcw macro a compiler memory barrier.

Implemented separate stream_tag assignment for input and output streams. According to hda specification stream tag must be unique throughout the input streams group, however an output stream might use a stream tag which is already in use by an input stream. This change is necessary to support HW which provides a total of more than 15 stream DMA engines which with legacy implementation causes an overflow on SDxCTL.STRM field (and the whole SDxCTL register) and as a result usage of Reserved value 0 in the SDxCTL.STRM field which confuses HDA controller.

A regression was caused by commit 780a7654cee8: audit: Make testing for a valid loginuid explicit. (which in turn attempted to fix a regression caused by e1760bd) When audit_krule_to_data() fills in the rules to get a listing, there was a missing clause to convert back from AUDIT_LOGINUID_SET to AUDIT_LOGINUID. This broke userspace by not returning the same information that was sent and expected. The rule: auditctl -a exit,never -F auid=-1 gives: auditctl -l LIST_RULES: exit,never f24=0 syscall=all when it should give: LIST_RULES: exit,never auid=-1 (0xffffffff) syscall=all Tag it so that it is reported the same way it was set. Create a new private flags audit_krule field (pflags) to store it that won't interact with the public one from the API.

2014-12-23arm64: mm: Add pgd_page to support RCU fast_gupJungseok Lee1-2/+3
This patch adds pgd_page definition in order to keep supporting HAVE_GENERIC_RCU_GUP configuration. In addition, it changes pud_page expression to align with pmd_page for readability. An introduction of pgd_page resolves the following build breakage under 4KB + 4Level memory management combo. mm/gup.c: In function 'gup_huge_pgd': mm/gup.c:889:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'pgd_page' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] head = pgd_page(orig); ^ mm/gup.c:889:7: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast head = pgd_page(orig); Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Steve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jungseok Lee <jungseoklee85@gmail.com> [catalin.marinas@arm.com: remove duplicate pmd_page definition] Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

The usual defconfig tweaks, this time: - FHANDLE and AUTOFS4_FS to keep systemd happy - PID_NS, QUOTA and KEYS to keep LTP happy - Disable DEBUG_PREEMPT, as this *really* hurts performance Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2014-12-23arm64: kernel: fix __cpu_suspend mm switch on warm-bootLorenzo Pieralisi1-1/+13
On arm64 the TTBR0_EL1 register is set to either the reserved TTBR0 page tables on boot or to the active_mm mappings belonging to user space processes, it must never be set to swapper_pg_dir page tables mappings. When a CPU is booted its active_mm is set to init_mm even though its TTBR0_EL1 points at the reserved TTBR0 page mappings. This implies that when __cpu_suspend is triggered the active_mm can point at init_mm even if the current TTBR0_EL1 register contains the reserved TTBR0_EL1 mappings. Therefore, the mm save and restore executed in __cpu_suspend might turn out to be erroneous in that, if the current->active_mm corresponds to init_mm, on resume from low power it ends up restoring in the TTBR0_EL1 the init_mm mappings that are global and can cause speculation of TLB entries which end up being propagated to user space. This patch fixes the issue by checking the active_mm pointer before restoring the TTBR0 mappings. If the current active_mm == &init_mm, the code sets the TTBR0_EL1 to the reserved TTBR0 mapping instead of switching back to the active_mm, which is the expected behaviour corresponding to the TTBR0_EL1 settings when __cpu_suspend was entered.
