Use the default log level 3 for state changing and/or seldom events, use 4 for others. Also change some numbers from %x to %d and vice versa to match documentation. If hex, let's prepend the numbers with 0x. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Acked-by: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>

We do not use the exception logger, so the 2nd area is unused. Just have one area that is bigger (32 pages). At the same time we can limit the debug feature size to 7 longs, as the largest user has 3 parameters + string + boiler plate (vCPU, PSW mask, PSW addr) Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Acked-by: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>

This reworks the debug logging for interrupt related logs. Several changes: - unify program int/irq - improve decoding (e.g. use mcic instead of parm64 for machine check injection) - remove useless interrupt type number (the name is enough) - rename "interrupt:" to "deliver:" as the other side is called "inject" - use log level 3 for state changing and/or seldom events (like machine checks, restart..) - use log level 4 for frequent events - use 0x prefix for hex numbers - add pfault done logging - move some tracing outside spinlock Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Jens Freimann <jfrei@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The "from user"/"from kernel" part of the log/trace messages is not always correct anymore and therefore not really helpful. Let's remove that part from the log + trace messages. For program interrupts, we can now move the logging/tracing part into the real injection function, as already done for the other injection functions.

SPX (SET PREFIX) and SIGP (Set prefix) can change the prefix register of a CPU. As sigp set prefix may be handled in user space (KVM_CAP_S390_USER_SIGP), we would not log the changes triggered via SIGP in that case. Let's have just one VCPU_EVENT at the central location that tracks prefix changes.

When guest debugging is active, space-switch events might be enforced by PER. While the PER events are correctly filtered out, space-switch-events could be forwarded to the guest, although from a guest point of view, they should not have been reported. Therefore we have to filter out space-switch events being concurrently reported with a PER event, if the PER event got filtered out. To do so, we theoretically have to know which instruction was responsible for the event. As the applicable instructions modify the PSW address, the address space set in the PSW and even the address space in cr1, we can't figure out the instruction that way. For this reason, we have to rely on the information about the old and new address space, in order to guess the responsible instruction type and do appropriate checks for space-switch events.

We can disable CD unconditionally when there is no assigned device. KVM now forces guest PAT to all-writeback in that case, so it makes sense to also force CR0.CD=0. When there are assigned devices, emulate cache-disabled operation through the page tables. This behavior is consistent with VMX microcode, where CD/NW are not touched by vmentry/vmexit. However, keep this dependent on the quirk because OVMF enables the caches too late. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

According to Intel SDM several checks must be applied for memory operands of VMX instructions. Long mode: #GP(0) or #SS(0) depending on the segment must be thrown if the memory address is in a non-canonical form. Protected mode, checks in chronological order: - The segment type must be checked with access type (read or write) taken into account. For write access: #GP(0) must be generated if the destination operand is located in a read-only data segment or any code segment. For read access: #GP(0) must be generated if if the source operand is located in an execute-only code segment. - Usability of the segment must be checked. #GP(0) or #SS(0) depending on the segment must be thrown if the segment is unusable. - Limit check. #GP(0) or #SS(0) depending on the segment must be thrown if the memory operand effective address is outside the segment limit.

The driver is written as if it can adapt to a low memory situation allocating less RX skbs and TX aligned buffers than the respective RX/TX ring sizes. In reality though the driver would malfunction in this case. Stop being overly smart and just fail in such situation -- this is achieved by moving the memory allocation from ravb_ring_format() to ravb_ring_init(). We leave dma_map_single() calls in place but make their failure non-fatal by marking the corresponding RX descriptors with zero data size which should prevent DMA to an invalid addresses.

Some architectures like POWER can have a NUMA node_possible_map that contains sparse entries. This causes memory corruption with openvswitch since it allocates flow_cache with a multiple of num_possible_nodes() and assumes the node variable returned by for_each_node will index into flow->stats[node]. Use nr_node_ids to allocate a maximal sparse array instead of num_possible_nodes(). The crash was noticed after 3af229f2 was applied as it changed the node_possible_map to match node_online_map on boot.

To check whether the load should take the fast path or not, the code would check that (r_skb_hlen - load_order) is greater than the offset of the access using an "Unsigned higher or same" condition. For halfword accesses and an skb length of 1 at offset 0, that test is valid, as we end up comparing 0xffffffff(-1) and 0, so the fast path is taken and the filter allows the load to wrongly succeed. A similar issue exists for word loads at offset 0 and an skb length of less than 4. Fix that by using the condition "Signed greater than or equal" condition for the fast path code for load orders greater than 0.

This reverts commit a2673b6e. Kinglong Mee reports a memory leak with that patch, and Jan Kara confirms: "Thanks for report! You are right that my patch introduces a race between fsnotify kthread and fsnotify_destroy_group() which can result in leaking inotify event on group destruction. I haven't yet decided whether the right fix is not to queue events for dying notification group (as that is pointless anyway) or whether we should just fix the original problem differently... Whenever I look at fsnotify code mark handling I get lost in the maze of locks, lists, and subtle differences between how different notification systems handle notification marks :( I'll think about it over night" and after thinking about it, Jan says: "OK, I have looked into the code some more and I found another relatively simple way of fixing the original oops. It will be IMHO better than trying to fixup this issue which has more potential for breakage. I'll ask Linus to revert the fsnotify fix he already merged and send a new fix" Reported-by: Kinglong Mee <kinglongmee@gmail.com> Requested-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
