The memory controller has a requirement that while writing values, we need to use echo -n. This patch fixes the problem and makes the UI more consistent.

Commit 2f569afd (CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables) introduced use of inc_zone_page_state and dec_zone_page_state in include/linux/mm.h. Those are defined in include/linux/vmstat.h, but after it includes mm.h, making it impossible to include vmstat.h since inc_zone_page_state and dec_zone_page_state then would be undefined. arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.c does just this, which makes the CRIS v10 build break with the following error: ... CC arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.o In file included from include/linux/vmstat.h:7, from arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.c:17: include/linux/mm.h: In function 'pgtable_page_ctor': include/linux/mm.h:902: error: implicit declaration of function 'inc_zone_page_state' include/linux/mm.h: In function 'pgtable_page_dtor': include/linux/mm.h:908: error: implicit declaration of function 'dec_zone_page_state' make[2]: *** [arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel] Error 2 make: *** [sub-make] Error 2 ...

This bug got introduced by the recent i387 merge: commit 44210111 Author: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jan 30 13:31:50 2008 +0100 x86: x86 i387 user_regset Current usage of unlazy_fpu() in ptrace specific routines is wrong. unlazy_fpu() will not init fpu if the task never used math. So the ptrace calls can expose the parent tasks FPU data in some cases. Replace it with the init_fpu() which will init the math state, if the task never used math before.

This changes the "freezer" code used by suspend/hibernate in its treatment of tasks in TASK_STOPPED (job control stop) and TASK_TRACED (ptrace) states. As I understand it, the intent of the "freezer" is to hold all tasks from doing anything significant. For this purpose, TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED are "frozen enough". It's possible the tasks might resume from ptrace calls (if the tracer were unfrozen) or from signals (including ones that could come via timer interrupts, etc). But this doesn't matter as long as they quickly block again while "freezing" is in effect. Some minor adjustments to the signal.c code make sure that try_to_freeze() very shortly follows all wakeups from both kinds of stop. This lets the freezer code safely leave stopped tasks unmolested. Changing this fixes the longstanding bug of seeing after resuming from suspend/hibernate your shell report "[1] Stopped" and the like for all your jobs stopped by ^Z et al, as if you had freshly fg'd and ^Z'd them. It also removes from the freezer the arcane special case treatment for ptrace'd tasks, which relied on intimate knowledge of ptrace internals.

KVM tries to run as much as possible with the guest msrs loaded instead of host msrs, since switching msrs is very expensive. It also tries to minimize the number of msrs switched according to the guest mode; for example, MSR_LSTAR is needed only by long mode guests. This optimization is done by setup_msrs(). However, we must not change which msrs are switched while we are running with guest msr state: - switch to guest msr state - call setup_msrs(), removing some msrs from the list - switch to host msr state, leaving a few guest msrs loaded An easy way to trigger this is to kexec an x86_64 linux guest. Early during setup, the guest will switch EFER to not include SCE. KVM will stop saving MSR_LSTAR, and on the next msr switch it will leave the guest LSTAR loaded. The next host syscall will end up in a random location in the kernel. Fix by reloading the host msrs before changing the msr list. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other vcpus. This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be modified. The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have modified the pte without the shadow lock. However the assumption is incorrect, as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow page, before our vcpu regains control: vcpu0 vcpu1 fault walk pte modify pte fault in same pagetable instantiate shadow page lookup shadow page conclude it is old instantiate spte based on stale guest pte We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation unconditionally. The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can be quite fast. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
