Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case:
| pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case
| in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong
| CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success
| section.
I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact
that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no
serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in
the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle
counter was read without proper serialization.
The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since
_inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has
the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration.
So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one
that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the
final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized.
In other words:
- I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last
iteration, rather than in every iteration
- I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a
serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read.
Here's a suggested replacement.

kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages mishandles the case where n_alloc_mmu_pages is

If a migrated vcpu matches the asid_generation value of the target pcpu,
there will be no TLB flush via TLB_CONTROL_FLUSH_ALL_ASID.
The check for vcpu.cpu in pre_svm_run is meaningless since svm_vcpu_load
already updated it on schedule in.
Such vcpu will VMRUN with stale TLB entries.

So far, KVM copied the emulated_msrs (only MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE) to a
wrong address in user space due to broken pointer arithmetic. This
caused subtle corruption up there (missing MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE had
probably no practical relevance). Moreover, the size check for the
user-provided kvm_msr_list forgot about emulated MSRs.

With CONFIG_STACK_PROTECTOR turned on, VMI doesn't boot with
more than one processor. The problem is with the gs value not
being initialized correctly when registering the secondary
processor for VMI's case.
The patch below initializes the gs value for the AP to
__KERNEL_STACK_CANARY. Without this the secondary processor
keeps on taking a GP on every gs access.

In uv_setup_irq(), the call to create_irq() initially assigns
IRQ vectors to cpu 0. The subsequent call to
assign_irq_vector() in arch_enable_uv_irq() migrates the IRQ to
another cpu and frees the cpu 0 vector - at least it will be
freed as soon as the "IRQ move" completes.
arch_enable_uv_irq() needs to send a cleanup IPI to complete
the IRQ move. Otherwise, assignment of GRU interrupts on large
systems (>200 cpus) will exhaust the cpu 0 interrupt vectors
and initialization of the GRU driver will fail.

From Gabe Black in bugzilla 13888:
native_save_fl is implemented as follows:
11static inline unsigned long native_save_fl(void)
12{
13 unsigned long flags;
14
15 asm volatile("# __raw_save_flags\n\t"
16 "pushf ; pop %0"
17 : "=g" (flags)
18 : /* no input */
19 : "memory");
20
21 return flags;
22}
If gcc chooses to put flags on the stack, for instance because this is
inlined into a larger function with more register pressure, the offset
of the flags variable from the stack pointer will change when the
pushf is performed. gcc doesn't attempt to understand that fact, and
address used for pop will still be the same. It will write to
somewhere near flags on the stack but not actually into it and
overwrite some other value.
I saw this happen in the ide_device_add_all function when running in a
simulator I work on. I'm assuming that some quirk of how the simulated
hardware is set up caused the code path this is on to be executed when
it normally wouldn't.
A simple fix might be to change "=g" to "=r".

This arranges to pass the EFI memory type through to efi_ioremap, and
makes efi_ioremap use ioremap rather than init_memory_mapping if the
type is EFI_MEMORY_MAPPED_IO. With this, the above warning goes away.

The latest Apple MacBook (MacBook5,2) doesn't reboot successfully
under Linux; neither the EFI reboot method nor the default method
using the keyboard controller works (the system just hangs and doesn't
reset). However, the method using the "PCI reset register" at 0xcf9
does work.
This adds a quirk to detect this machine via DMI and force the
reboot_type to BOOT_CF9. With this it reboots successfully without
requiring a command-line option. Note that the EFI code forces
reboot_type to BOOT_EFI when the machine is booted via EFI, but this
overrides that since the core_initcall runs after the EFI
initialization code.

The code was incorrectly reserving memtypes using the page
virtual address instead of the physical address. Furthermore,
the code was not ignoring highmem pages as it ought to.
( upstream does not pass in highmem pages yet - but upcoming
graphics code will do it and there's no reason to not handle
this properly in the CPA APIs.)

Changeset 3869c4aa18835c8c61b44bd0f3ace36e9d3b5bd0
that went in after 2.6.30-rc1 was a seemingly small change to _set_memory_wc()
to make it complaint with SDM requirements. But, introduced a nasty bug, which
can result in crash and/or strange corruptions when set_memory_wc is used.
One such crash reported here
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/30/94
Actually, that changeset introduced two bugs.
* change_page_attr_set() takes &addr as first argument and can the addr value
might have changed on return, even for single page change_page_attr_set()
call. That will make the second change_page_attr_set() in this routine
operate on unrelated addr, that can eventually cause strange corruptions
and bad page state crash.
* The second change_page_attr_set() call, before setting _PAGE_CACHE_WC, should
clear the earlier _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS, as otherwise cache attribute will not
be WC (will be UC instead).
The patch below fixes both these problems. Sending a single patch to fix both
the problems, as the change is to the same line of code. The change to have a
addr_copy is not very clean. But, it is simpler than making more changes
through various routines in pageattr.c.
A huge thanks to Jerome for reporting this problem and providing a simple test
case that helped us root cause the problem.

Startup code for i386 in arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S is using the
reference variable initial_code that is located in the .cpuinit.data
section. If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, startup code is not in an
init section and can be called later too. In this case the reference
initial_code must be kept too. This patch fixes this. See below for
the section mismatch warning.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuinit.data+0x0): Section mismatch in reference
from the variable initial_code to the function
.init.text:i386_start_kernel()
The variable __cpuinitdata initial_code references
a function __init i386_start_kernel().
If i386_start_kernel is only used by initial_code then
annotate i386_start_kernel with a matching annotation.

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

Timer interrupts are excluded from being disabled during suspend. The
clock events code manages the disabling of clock events on its own
because the timer interrupt needs to be functional before the resume
code reenables the device interrupts.
The mfgpt timer request its interrupt without setting the IRQF_TIMER
flag so suspend_device_irqs() disables it as well which results in a
fatal resume failure.
Adding IRQF_TIMER to the interupt flags when requesting the mrgpt
timer interrupt solves the problem.

arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h uses wrong asm operand constraint
("ir") for movq insn. Since movq sign-extends its immediate operand,
"er" constraint should be used instead.
Attached patch changes all uses of __put_user_asm in uaccess_64.h to use
"er" when "q" insn suffix is involved.
Patch was compile tested on x86_64 with defconfig.
