      arm64: fix pud_huge() for 2-level pagetables · 4797ec2d
      Mark Salter authored
      The following happens when trying to run a kvm guest on a kernel
      configured for 64k pages. This doesn't happen with 4k pages:
      
        BUG: failure at include/linux/mm.h:297/put_page_testzero()!
        Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!
        CPU: 2 PID: 4228 Comm: qemu-system-aar Tainted: GF            3.13.0-0.rc7.31.sa2.k32v1.aarch64.debug #1

      In arch/arm/kvm/mmu.c:unmap_range(), we end up doing an extra put_page()
      on the stage2 pgd which leads to the BUG in put_page_testzero(). This
      happens because a pud_huge() test in unmap_range() returns true when it
      should always be false with 2-level pages tables used by 64k pages.
      This patch removes support for huge puds if 2-level pagetables are
      being used.

      x86-64, modify_ldt: Make support for 16-bit segments a runtime option · fa81511b
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Checkin:
      
      b3b42ac2 x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels
      
      disabled 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels due to an information
      leak.  However, it does seem that people are genuinely using Wine to
      run old 16-bit Windows programs on Linux.
      
      A proper fix for this ("espfix64") is coming in the upcoming merge
      window, but as a temporary fix, create a sysctl to allow the
      administrator to re-enable support for 16-bit segments.
      
      It adds a "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" sysctl that defaults to zero (off). If
      you hit this issue and care about your old Windows program more than
      you care about a kernel stack address information leak, you can do
      
         echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16
      
      as root (add it to your startup scripts), and you should be ok.
      
      The sysctl table is only added if you have COMPAT support enabled on
      x86-64, but I assume anybody who runs old windows binaries very much
      does that ;)

      asm-generic: remove _STK_LIM_MAX · ffe6902b
      James Hogan authored
      _STK_LIM_MAX could be used to override the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit from
      an arch's include/uapi/asm-generic/resource.h file, but is no longer
      used since both parisc and metag removed the override. Therefore remove
      it entirely, setting the hard RLIMIT_STACK limit to RLIM_INFINITY
      directly in include/asm-generic/resource.h.
