A paravirtualized system may not have PSE or PGE available to guests, so they are not required features. However, without paravirt we can assume that any x86-64 implementation will have them available. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Xen leaves XSAVE set in cpuid, but doesn't allow cr4.OSXSAVE to be set. This confuses the kernel and it ends up crashing on an xsetbv instruction. At boot time, try to set cr4.OSXSAVE, and mask XSAVE out of cpuid it we can't. This will produce a spurious error from Xen, but allows us to support XSAVE if/when Xen does. This also factors out the cpuid mask decisions to boot time. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Remove use of multicall machinery which is unused (gdt loading is never performance critical). This removes the implicit use of percpu variables, which simplifies understanding how the percpu code's use of load_gdt interacts with this code.

Impact: allow preemption in apply_to_pte_range updates to init_mm Preemption is now allowed for lazy mmu mode, so don't disable it for the inner loop of apply_to_pte_range. This only applies when doing updates to init_mm; user pagetables are still modified under the pte lock, so preemption is disabled anyway.

Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES. When we resume the task, check this flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set. This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible, though that won't actually be active until the next change.

Impact: simplification, robustness Make paravirt_lazy_mode() always return PARAVIRT_LAZY_NONE when in an interrupt. This prevents interrupt code from accidentally inheriting an outer lazy state, and instead does everything synchronously. Outer batched operations are left deferred.

Impact: bugfix Lazy mmu mode needs preemption disabled, so if we're apply to init_mm (which doesn't require any pte locks), then explicitly disable preemption. (Do it unconditionally after checking we've successfully done the allocation to simplify the error handling.) Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Annotate struct fs_struct's usage count to indicate the restrictions upon it. It may not be incremented, except by clone(CLONE_FS), as this affects the check in check_unsafe_exec() in fs/exec.c.

check_unsafe_exec() also notes whether the fs_struct is being shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid. But /proc/<pid>/cwd and /proc/<pid>/root lookups make transient use of get_fs_struct(), which also raises that sharing count. This might occasionally cause a setuid program not to change euid, in the same way as happened with files->count (check_unsafe_exec also looks at sighand->count, but /proc doesn't raise that one). We'd prefer exec not to unshare fs_struct: so fix this in procfs, replacing get_fs_struct() by get_fs_path(), which does path_get while still holding task_lock, instead of raising fs->count.

Joe Malicki reports that setuid sometimes doesn't: very rarely, a setuid root program does not get root euid; and, by the way, they have a health check running lsof every few minutes. Right, check_unsafe_exec() notes whether the files_struct is being shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid. But /proc/<pid>/fd and /proc/<pid>/fdinfo lookups make transient use of get_files_struct(), which also raises that sharing count. There's a rather simple fix for this: exec's check on files->count has been redundant ever since 2.6.1 made it unshare_files() (except while compat_do_execve() omitted to do so) - just remove that check. [Note to -stable: this patch will not apply before 2.6.29: earlier releases should just remove the files->count line from unsafe_exec().] Reported-by: Joe Malicki <jmalicki@metacarta.com> Narrowed-down-by: Michael Itz <mitz@metacarta.com> Tested-by: Joe Malicki <jmalicki@metacarta.com> Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2.6.26's commit fd8328be "sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()" moved the unshare_files() from flush_old_exec() and several binfmts to the head of do_execve(); but forgot to make the same change to compat_do_execve(), leaving a CLONE_FILES files_struct shared across exec from a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel. It's arguable whether the files_struct really ought to be unshared across exec; but 2.6.1 made that so to stop the loading binary's fd leaking into other threads, and a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel ought to behave in the same way as 32 on 32 and 64 on 64.

Impact: Kconfig noise reduction, documentation The default initramfs is so small that it makes no sense to worry about the additional memory taken by not double-compressing it.
