Commit 6194ba6f ("x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations, and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path. As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a page table page. After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots). Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

Impact: find right nr_irqs_gsi on some systems. One test-system has gap between gsi's: [ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x04] address[0xfec00000] gsi_base[0]) [ 0.000000] IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 4, version 0, address 0xfec00000, GSI 0-23 [ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x05] address[0xfeafd000] gsi_base[48]) [ 0.000000] IOAPIC[1]: apic_id 5, version 0, address 0xfeafd000, GSI 48-54 [ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x06] address[0xfeafc000] gsi_base[56]) [ 0.000000] IOAPIC[2]: apic_id 6, version 0, address 0xfeafc000, GSI 56-62 ... [ 0.000000] nr_irqs_gsi: 38 So nr_irqs_gsi is not right. some irq for MSI will overwrite with io_apic. need to get that with acpi_probe_gsi when acpi io_apic is used Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1]. This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the monitored address was recently written to.

There's a number of filesystem corruption incidents reported: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479996 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12578 Provide a Kconfig option to change whether it is enabled by default. If disabled, it can still be reenabled by passing intel_iommu=on to the kernel. Keep the .config option off by default.

On an x86 system which doesn't support global mappings, __supported_pte_mask has _PAGE_GLOBAL clear, to make sure it never appears in the PTE. pfn_pte() and so on will enforce it with: static inline pte_t pfn_pte(unsigned long page_nr, pgprot_t pgprot) { return __pte((((phys_addr_t)page_nr << PAGE_SHIFT) | pgprot_val(pgprot)) & __supported_pte_mask); } However, we overload _PAGE_GLOBAL with _PAGE_PROTNONE on non-present ptes to distinguish them from swap entries. However, applying __supported_pte_mask indiscriminately will clear the bit and corrupt the pte. I guess the best fix is to only apply __supported_pte_mask to present ptes. This seems like the right solution to me, as it means we can completely ignore the issue of overlaps between the present pte bits and the non-present pte-as-swap entry use of the bits. __supported_pte_mask contains the set of flags we support on the current hardware. We also use bits in the pte for things like logically present ptes with no permissions, and swap entries for swapped out pages. We should only apply __supported_pte_mask to present ptes, because otherwise we may destroy other information being stored in the ptes.

Impact: fix to enable APIC for AMD Fam10h on chipsets with a missing/b0rked ACPI MP table (MADT) Booting a 32bit kernel on an AMD Fam10h CPU running on chipsets with missing/b0rked MP table leads to a hang pretty early in the boot process due to the APIC not being initialized. Fix that by falling back to the default APIC base address in 32bit code, as it is done in the 64bit codepath. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com> Signed-off-by: H.

Impact: Fix race condition xen_mc_batch has a small preempt race where it takes the address of a percpu variable immediately before disabling interrupts, thereby leaving a small window in which we may migrate to another cpu and save the flags in the wrong percpu variable.

The host really shouldn't be notifying us of config changes before the device status is VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER or VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK. However, if we do happen to be interrupted while we're not attached to a driver, we really shouldn't oops. Prevent this simply by checking that device->driver is non-NULL before trying to notify the driver of config changes. Problem observed by doing a "set_link virtio.0 down" with QEMU before the net driver had been loaded.

Eric Dumazet authored
Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is using a lot of memory. Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines. This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() & percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage. Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes. On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module) Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better NUMA properties, since each CPU will use storage on its preferred node, thanks to percpu storage.

This patch adds support for the ST Microelectronics version of the PL180 PrimeCell. They use designer ID 0x80 and have a few alterations/bugfixes related to open drain and HW flow control. They also add some SDIO registers, I am unsure if these are in ST HW only or if this is things also added in later ARM revisions, but they are included in the mmci.h file for completeness.

This patch adds a MX2/MX3 specific SDHC driver. The hardware is basically the same as in the MX1, but unlike the MX1 controller the MX2 controller just works as expected. Since the MX1 driver has more workarounds for bugs than anything else I had no success with supporting MX1 and MX2 in a sane way in one driver.

This is a port of libata's pata_cs5536.c (written by Martin K. Petersen) to IDE subsystem. Changes done while at it: * Reprogram PIO/MWDMA timings if needed before and after DMA transfer (chipset uses shared PIO/MWDMA timings). * Fix cable detection to report 80-wires cable if BIOS set it for any device on a port (IDE core will do drive-side cable detection later). * Don't disable UDMA while programming PIO timings. * Simplify PCI/MSR support. Pros of having IDE host driver in addition to libata's one: * IDE is much lighter than SCSI+libata, the host driver itself is also a bit smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 1261 496 4 1761 6e1 drivers/ata/pata_cs5536.o 1242 128 4 1374 55e drivers/ide/cs5536.o * This allows use of IDE features which are unavailable under libata. v2: * Fixes per review from Sergei: - simplify dependency check in Kconfig - use IDE_DRV_MASK also for ->drive_data - disable UDMA when programming MWDMA - program new DTC timings only when necessary - fix printk() level in cs5536_init_one() * Fix patch description according to comments from Alan and Sergei. v3: * Smarter masking of UDMA bits per Sergei's suggestion.
