      x86/cpufeature: Fix build bug caused by merge artifact with the removal of cpu_has_hypervisor · d7847a70
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      The 0-day build robot by Fengguang Wu reported a build failure:

   arch/x86/events//intel/cstate.c: In function 'cstate_pmu_init':
   arch/x86/events//intel/cstate.c:680:6: error: 'cpu_has_hypervisor' undeclared (first use in this function)

... which was caused by a merge mistake I made when applying
the following patch:

  0c9f3536 ("x86/cpufeature: Remove cpu_has_hypervisor")

apply the missing hunk as well.

      lguest, x86/entry/32: Fix handling of guest syscalls using interrupt gates · f87e0434
      Rusty Russell authored 
      In a798f091 ("x86/entry/32: Change INT80 to be an interrupt gate")
Andy broke lguest.  This is because lguest had special code to allow
the 0x80 trap gate go straight into the guest itself; interrupts gates
(without more work, as mentioned in the file's comments) bounce via
the hypervisor.

His change made them go via the hypervisor, but as it's in the range of
normal hardware interrupts, they were not directed through to the guest
at all.  Turns out the guest userspace isn't very effective if syscalls
are all noops.

I haven't ripped out all the now-useless trap-direct-to-guest-kernel
code yet, since it will still be needed if someone decides to update
this optimization.

      dlm: config: Fix ENOMEM failures in make_cluster() · 82c7d823
      Andrew Price authored 
      Commit 1ae1602d "configfs: switch ->default groups to a linked list"
left the NULL gps pointer behind after removing the kcalloc() call which
made it non-NULL. It also left the !gps check in place so make_cluster()
now fails with ENOMEM. Remove the remaining uses of the gps variable to
fix that.

      x86/build: Build compressed x86 kernels as PIE · 6d92bc9d
      H.J. Lu authored 
      The 32-bit x86 assembler in binutils 2.26 will generate R_386_GOT32X
relocation to get the symbol address in PIC.  When the compressed x86
kernel isn't built as PIC, the linker optimizes R_386_GOT32X relocations
to their fixed symbol addresses.  However, when the compressed x86
kernel is loaded at a different address, it leads to the following
load failure:

  Failed to allocate space for phdrs

during the decompression stage.

If the compressed x86 kernel is relocatable at run-time, it should be
compiled with -fPIE, instead of -fPIC, if possible and should be built as
Position Independent Executable (PIE) so that linker won't optimize
R_386_GOT32X relocation to its fixed symbol address.

Older linkers generate R_386_32 relocations against locally defined
symbols, _bss, _ebss, _got and _egot, in PIE.  It isn't wrong, just less
optimal than R_386_RELATIVE.  But the x86 kernel fails to properly handle
R_386_32 relocations when relocating the kernel.  To generate
R_386_RELATIVE relocations, we mark _bss, _ebss, _got and _egot as
hidden in both 32-bit and 64-bit x86 kernels.

To build a 64-bit compressed x86 kernel as PIE, we need to disable the
relocation overflow check to avoid relocation overflow errors. We do
this with a new linker command-line option, -z noreloc-overflow, which
got added recently:

 commit 4c10bbaa0912742322f10d9d5bb630ba4e15dfa7
 Author: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com>
 Date:   Tue Mar 15 11:07:06 2016 -0700

    Add -z noreloc-overflow option to x86-64 ld

    Add -z noreloc-overflow command-line option to the x86-64 ELF linker to
    disable relocation overflow check.  This can be used to avoid relocation
    overflow check if there will be no dynamic relocation overflow at
    run-time.

The 64-bit compressed x86 kernel is built as PIE only if the linker supports
-z noreloc-overflow.  So far 64-bit relocatable compressed x86 kernel
boots fine even when it is built as a normal executable.
