2015-02-11lguest: add iomem region, where guest page faults get sent to userspace.Rusty Russell
This lets us implement PCI. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2015-02-11lguest: send trap 13 through to userspace.Rusty Russell
We copy 7 bytes at eip for userspace's instruction decode; we have to carefully handle the case where eip is at the end of a page. We can't leave this to userspace since kernel has all the page table decode logic. The decode logic moves to userspace, basically unchanged. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2015-02-04x86: Clean up cr4 manipulationAndy Lutomirski
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.

2011-12-06x86: Fix rflags in FAKE_STACK_FRAMESeiichi Ikarashi
The x86_64 kernel pushes the fake kernel stack in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:FAKE_STACK_FRAME, and rflags register in it does not conform to the specification. Although Intel's manual[1] says bit 1 of it shall be set to 1, this bit is cleared to 0 on pushing the fake stack.

It's only used by cmpxchg8b_emu (see db677ffa5f5a for the gory details), and fixing that to be paravirt aware would be more work than simply ignoring it (and AFAICT only help lguest).

2009-10-29percpu: make misc percpu symbols uniqueTejun Heo
This patch updates misc percpu related symbols such that percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.

Fixes guest crash 'lguest: bad read address 0x4800000 len 256' The new per-cpu allocator ends up handing a non-linear address to write_gdt_entry.

2009-04-19lguest: fix crash on vmlinux imagesMatias Zabaljauregui
Typical message: 'lguest: unhandled trap 6 at 0x418726 (0x0)' vmlinux guests were broken by 4cd8b5e2a159f18a1507f1187b44a1acbfa6341b 'lguest: use KVM hypercalls', which rewrites guest text from kvm hypercalls to trap 31. The Launcher mmaps the kernel image. The Guest executes and immediately faults in the first text page (read-only). Then it hits a hypercall, and we rewrite that hypercall, causing a copy-on-write. But the Guest pagetables still refer to the old page: we fault again, but as Host we see the hypercall already rewritten, and pass the fault back to the Guest. The Guest hasn't set up an IDT yet, so we kill it. This doesn't happen with bzImages: they unpack themselves and so the text pages are already read-write.

2008-06-20x86: fix NULL pointer deref in __switch_toSuresh Siddha
I am able to reproduce the oops reported by Simon in __switch_to() with lguest. My debug showed that there is at least one lguest specific issue (which should be present in 2.6.25 and before aswell) and it got exposed with a kernel oops with the recent fpu dynamic allocation patches. In addition to the previous possible scenario (with fpu_counter), in the presence of lguest, it is possible that the cpu's TS bit it still set and the lguest launcher task's thread_info has TS_USEDFPU still set. This is because of the way the lguest launcher handling the guest's TS bit. (look at lguest_set_ts() in lguest_arch_run_guest()). This can result in a DNA fault while doing unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). This will end up causing a DNA fault in the context of new process thats getting context switched in (as opossed to handling DNA fault in the context of lguest launcher/helper process). This is wrong in both pre and post 2.6.25 kernels. In the recent 2.6.26-rc series, this is showing up as NULL pointer dereferences or sleeping function called from atomic context(__switch_to()), as we free and dynamically allocate the FPU context for the newly created threads. Older kernels might show some FPU corruption for processes running inside of lguest. With the appended patch, my test system is running for more than 50 mins now. So atleast some of your oops (hopefully all!) should get fixed. Please give it a try. I will spend more time with this fix tomorrow.

Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the refcount semantics in these operations. The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.
