The FXSAVE information leak patch introduced a bug in FP exception
handling: it clears FP exceptions only when there are already
none outstanding. Mikael Pettersson reported that causes problems
with the Erlang runtime and has tested this fix.

In SLES10 (2.6.16) crash dumping (in my experience, LKCD) is unable to
capture the second page of the 2-page task/stack allocation.
This is particularly troublesome for dump analysis, as the stack traceback
cannot be done.
(A similar convention is probably needed throughout the kernel to make
kernel multi-page allocations detectable for dumping)
Multi-page kernel allocations are represented by the single page structure
associated with the first page of the allocation. The page structures
associated with the other pages are unintialized.
If the dumper is selecting only kernel pages it has no way to identify
any but the first page of the allocation.
The fix is to make the task/stack allocation a compound page.

Proposed fix for ptep_get_and_clear_full PAE bug. Pte_clear had the same bug,
so use the same fix for both. Turns out pmd_clear had it as well, but pgds
are not affected.
The problem is rather intricate. Page table entries in PAE mode are 64-bits
wide, but the only atomic 8-byte write operation available in 32-bit mode is
cmpxchg8b, which is expensive (at least on P4), and thus avoided. But it can
happen that the processor may prefetch entries into the TLB in the middle of an
operation which clears a page table entry. So one must always clear the P-bit
in the low word of the page table entry first when clearing it.
Since the sequence *ptep = __pte(0) leaves the order of the write dependent on
the compiler, it must be coded explicitly as a clear of the low word followed
by a clear of the high word. Further, there must be a write memory barrier
here to enforce proper ordering by the compiler (and, in the future, by the
processor as well).
On > 4GB memory machines, the implementation of pte_clear for PAE was clearly
deficient, as it could leave virtual mappings of physical memory above 4GB
aliased to memory below 4GB in the TLB. The implementation of
ptep_get_and_clear_full has a similar bug, although not nearly as likely to
occur, since the mappings being cleared are in the process of being destroyed,
and should never be dereferenced again.
But, as luck would have it, it is possible to trigger bugs even without ever
dereferencing these bogus TLB mappings, even if the clear is followed fairly
soon after with a TLB flush or invalidation. The problem is that memory above
4GB may now be aliased into the first 4GB of memory, and in fact, may hit a
region of memory with non-memory semantics. These regions include AGP and PCI
space. As such, these memory regions are not cached by the processor. This
introduces the bug.
The processor can speculate memory operations, including memory writes, as long
as they are committed with the proper ordering. Speculating a memory write to
a linear address that has a bogus TLB mapping is possible. Normally, the
speculation is harmless. But for cached memory, it does leave the falsely
speculated cacheline unmodified, but in a dirty state. This cache line will be
eventually written back. If this cacheline happens to intersect a region of
memory that is not protected by the cache coherency protocol, it can corrupt
data in I/O memory, which is generally a very bad thing to do, and can cause
total system failure or just plain undefined behavior.
These bugs are extremely unlikely, but the severity is of such magnitude, and
the fix so simple that I think fixing them immediately is justified. Also,
they are nearly impossible to debug.

sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice()
moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead.
This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges

receive support as well.

RECLAIM_DISTANCE is checked on bootup against the SLIT table distances.
Zone reclaim is important for system that have higher latencies but not for
systems that have multiple nodes on one motherboard and therefore low latencies.
We found that on motherboard latencies are typically 1 to 1.4 of local memory
access speed whereas multinode systems which benefit from zone reclaim have
usually more than 1.5 times the latency of a local access.
Set the reclaim distance for IA64 to 1.5 times.

AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.
This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.
The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.
This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.
I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.
Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.
Patch for both i386/x86-64.
The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard
Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution
from Jan.
This is CVE-2006-1056
