This is a partial revert of 4cd8b5e2a159 "lguest: use KVM hypercalls";
we revert to using (just as questionable but more reliable) int $15 for
hypercalls. I didn't revert the register mapping, so we still use the
same calling convention as kvm.KVM in more recent incarnations stopped injecting a fault when a guest
tried to use the VMCALL instruction from ring 1, so lguest under kvm
fails to make hypercalls. It was nice to share code with our KVM
cousins, but this was overreach.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

It's only used by cmpxchg8b_emu (see db677ffa5f5a for the gory
details), and fixing that to be paravirt aware would be more work than
simply ignoring it (and AFAICT only help lguest). This makes lguest
work on machines which have cmpxchg8b, for kernels compiled for older
processors.(We can't emulate it properly: the popf which expects to restore interrupts
does not trap).Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Found by kmemleak.
If request_resource() fails, we leak the struct resource we
allocated to represent the IOMMU mapping area.This actually happens on sun4v machines because the IOMEM area is only
reported sans the IOMMU region, unlike all previous systems. I'll
need to fix that at some point, but for now fix the leak.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

The only reference we store to this memory is in the form of a
physical address, so kmemleak can't see it.Add a kmemleak_not_leak() annotation.
It's probably useful to be able to look at a dump of these things
either via debugfs or similar, and thus we could at some point store
them in some kind of table and therefore get rid of this annotation.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

If we are in an NMI then doing a plain raw_local_irq_disable() will
write PIL_NORMAL_MAX into %pil, which is lower than PIL_NMI, and thus
we'll re-enable NMIs and recurse.Doing a simple:
%pil = %pil | PIL_NORMAL_MAX
does what we want, if we're already at PIL_NMI (15) we leave it at
that setting, else we set it to PIL_NORMAL_MAX (14).This should get the function tracer working on sparc64.

Otherwise we might be mapping in a page in a new mapping, but that page
(through the swapcache) would later be mapped into an old mapping too.
The page->mapping must be the case that works for everybody, not just
the mapping that happened to page it in first.Here's the scenario:
- page gets allocated/mapped by process A. Let's call the anon_vma we
associate the page with 'A' to keep it easy to track.- Process A forks, creating process B. The anon_vma in B is 'B', and has
a chain that looks like 'B' -> 'A'. Everything is fine.- Swapping happens. The page (with mapping pointing to 'A') gets swapped
out (perhaps not to disk - it's enough to assume that it's just not
mapped any more, and lives entirely in the swap-cache)- Process B pages it in, which goes like this:
do_swap_page ->
page = lookup_swap_cache(entry);
...
set_pte_at(mm, address, page_table, pte);
page_add_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);And think about what happens here!
In particular, what happens is that this will now be the "first"
mapping of that page, so page_add_anon_rmap() used to doif (first)
__page_set_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);and notice what anon_vma it will use? It will use the anon_vma for
process B!What happens then? Trivial: process 'A' also pages it in (nothing
happens, it's not the first mapping), and then process 'B' execve's
or exits or unmaps, making anon_vma B go away.End result: process A has a page that points to anon_vma B, but
anon_vma B does not exist any more. This can go on forever. Forget
about RCU grace periods, forget about locking, forget anything like
that. The bug is simply that page->mapping points to an anon_vma
that was correct at one point, but was _not_ the one that was shared
by all users of that possible mapping.Changing it to always use the deepest anon_vma in the anonvma chain gets
us to the safest model.This can be improved in certain cases: if we know the page is private to
just this particular mapping (for example, it's a new page, or it is the
only swapcache entry), we could pick the top (most specific) anon_vma.But that's a future optimization. Make it _work_ reliably first.

We want to walk the chain in reverse order when cloning it, so that the
order of the result chain will be the same as the order in the source
chain. When we add entries to the chain, they go at the head of the
chain, so we want to add the source head last.Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel

When we move the boundaries between two vma's due to things like
mprotect, we need to make sure that the anon_vma of the pages that got
moved from one vma to another gets properly copied around. And that was
not always the case, in this rather hard-to-follow code sequence.Clarify the code, and fix it so that it copies the anon_vma from the
right source.Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel

This changes the anon_vma reuse case to require that we only reuse
simple anon_vma's - ie the case when the vma only has a single anon_vma
associated with it.This means that a reuse of an anon_vma from an adjacent vma will always
guarantee that both vma's are associated not only with the same
anon_vma, they will also have the same anon_vma chain (of just a single
entry in this case).And since anon_vma re-use was the only case where the same anon_vma
might be associated with different chains of anon_vma's, we now have the
case that every vma that shares the same anon_vma will always also have
the same chain. That makes it much easier to think about merging vma's
that share the same anon_vma's: you can always just drop the other
anon_vma chain in anon_vma_merge() since you know that they are always
identical.This also splits up the function to validate the anon_vma re-use, and
adds a lot of commentary about the possible races.Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel

dq_flags are modified non-atomically in do_set_dqblk via __set_bit calls and
atomically for example in mark_dquot_dirty or clear_dquot_dirty. Hence a
change done by an atomic operation can be overwritten by a change done by a
non-atomic one. Fix the problem by using atomic bitops even in do_set_dqblk.Signed-off-by: Andrew Perepechko

For a root filesystem write to the filesystem before quota is turned on happens
regularly and there's no way around it because of writes to syslog, /etc/mtab,
and similar. So the warning is rather pointless for ordinary users. It's
still useful during development so we just hide the warning behind
__DQUOT_PARANOIA config option.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
