      nconfig: Fix segfault when help contains special characters · 58f915a3
      Stephen Boyd authored
      nconfig segfaults when help text contains the character '%'. For a quick
      example, navigate to the kernel compression options and get the help for
      bzip2. Doing so triggers a call to mvwprintw() with a string containing
      '%' and no extra arguments to fill in the specifier's value. Fix this
      case by printing the literal string retrieved from the kconfig.

      KVM: Use kmalloc() instead of vmalloc() for KVM_[GS]ET_MSR · 7a73c028
      Avi Kivity authored
      We don't need more than a page, and vmalloc() is slower (much
      slower recently due to a regression).

      KVM: MMU: fix conflict access permissions in direct sp · 6aa0b9de
      Xiao Guangrong authored
      In no-direct mapping, we mark sp is 'direct' when we mapping the
      guest's larger page, but its access is encoded form upper page-struct
      entire not include the last mapping, it will cause access conflict.
      
      For example, have this mapping:
              [W]
            / PDE1 -> |---|
        P[W]          |   | LPA
            \ PDE2 -> |---|
              [R]
      
      P have two children, PDE1 and PDE2, both PDE1 and PDE2 mapping the
      same lage page(LPA). The P's access is WR, PDE1's access is WR,
      PDE2's access is RO(just consider read-write permissions here)
      
      When guest access PDE1, we will create a direct sp for LPA, the sp's
      access is from P, is W, then we will mark the ptes is W in this sp.
      
      Then, guest access PDE2, we will find LPA's shadow page, is the same as
      PDE's, and mark the ptes is RO.
      
      So, if guest access PDE1, the incorrect #PF is occured.
      
      Fixed by encode the last mapping access into direct shadow page

      vmlinux.lds: fix .data..init_task output section (fix popwerpc boot) · da5e37ef
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      The .data..init_task output section was missing
      a load offset causing a popwerpc target to fail to boot.
      
      Sean MacLennan tracked it down to the definition of
      INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION().
      
      There are only two users of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION()
      in the kernel today: cris and popwerpc.
      cris do not support relocatable kernels and is thus not
      impacted by this change.
      
      Fix INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() to specify load offset like
      all other output sections.

      powerpc: Fix erroneous lmb->memblock conversions · 3fdfd990
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      Oooops... we missed these. We incorrectly converted strings
      used when parsing the device-tree on pseries, thus breaking
      access to drconf memory and hotplug memory.
      
      While at it, also revert some variable names that represent
      something the FW calls "lmb" and thus don't need to be converted
      to "memblock".
