2012-09-05xen/mm: return more precise error from xen_remap_domain_range()David Vrabel
Callers of xen_remap_domain_range() need to know if the remap failed because frame is currently paged out. So they can retry the remap later on. Return -ENOENT in this case. This assumes that the error codes returned by Xen are a subset of those used by the kernel. It is unclear if this is defined as part of the hypercall ABI.

2012-09-05xen: fix logical error in tlb flushingAlex Shi
While TLB_FLUSH_ALL gets passed as 'end' argument to flush_tlb_others(), the Xen code was made to check its 'start' parameter. That may give a incorrect op.cmd to MMUEXT_INVLPG_MULTI instead of MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_MULTI. Then it causes some page can not be flushed from TLB. This patch fixed this issue.

2012-09-05xen/p2m: Fix one-off error in checking the P2M tree directory.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
We would traverse the full P2M top directory (from 0->MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES inclusive) when trying to figure out whether we can re-use some of the P2M middle leafs. Which meant that if the kernel was compiled with MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES=512 we would try to use the 512th entry. Fortunately for us the p2m_top_index has a check for this: BUG_ON(pfn >= MAX_P2M_PFN); which we hit and saw this: (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0: (XEN) ----[ Xen-4.1.2-OVM x86_64 debug=n Tainted: C ]---- (XEN) CPU: 0 (XEN) RIP: e033:[<ffffffff819cadeb>] (XEN) RFLAGS: 0000000000000212 EM: 1 CONTEXT: pv guest (XEN) rax: ffffffff81db5000 rbx: ffffffff81db4000 rcx: 0000000000000000 (XEN) rdx: 0000000000480211 rsi: 0000000000000000 rdi: ffffffff81db4000 (XEN) rbp: ffffffff81793db8 rsp: ffffffff81793d38 r8: 0000000008000000 (XEN) r9: 4000000000000000 r10: 0000000000000000 r11: ffffffff81db7000 (XEN) r12: 0000000000000ff8 r13: ffffffff81df1ff8 r14: ffffffff81db6000 (XEN) r15: 0000000000000ff8 cr0: 000000008005003b cr4: 00000000000026f0 (XEN) cr3: 0000000661795000 cr2: 0000000000000000 Fixes-Oracle-Bug: 14570662 CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # only for v3.5 Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Preserve segment limit and access rights in real modeAvi Kivity
While this is undocumented, real processors do not reload the segment limit and access rights when loading a segment register in real mode. Real programs rely on it so we need to comply with this behaviour. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Return real real-mode segment data even if ↵Avi Kivity
emulate_invalid_guest_state=1 emulate_invalid_guest_state=1 doesn't mean we don't munge the segments in the vmcs; we do. So we need to return the real ones (maintained by vmx_set_segment). Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2012-08-27KVM: x86 emulator: Fix #GP error code during linearizationAvi Kivity
We want the segment selector, nor segment number. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2012-08-27KVM: x86 emulator: Check segment limits in real mode tooAvi Kivity
Segment limits are verified in real mode, not just protected mode. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
2012-08-27KVM: x86 emulator: Leave segment limit and attributs alone in real modeAvi Kivity
When loading a segment in real mode, only the base and selector must be modified. The limit needs to be left alone, otherwise big real mode users will hit a #GP due to limit checking (currently this is suppressed because we don't check limits in real mode).

2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Allow vm86 virtualization of big real modeAvi Kivity
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.

2012-08-27KVM: VMX: Allow real mode emulation using vm86 with dpl=0Avi Kivity
Real mode is always entered from protected mode with dpl=0. Since the dpl doesn't affect execution, and we already override it to 3 in the vmcs (as vmx requires), we can allow execution in that state. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
