One of the use cases for the supported cpuid list is to create a "greatest
common denominator" of cpu capabilities in a server farm.  As such, it is
useful to be able to get the list without creating a virtual machine first.

Since the code does not depend on the vm in any way, all that is needed is
to move it to the device ioctl handler.  The capability identifier is also
changed so that binaries made against -rc1 will fail gracefully.

Explicitly enable the NM intercept in svm_set_cr0 if we enable TS in the guest

If the guest writes to cr0 and leaves the TS flag at 0 while vcpu->fpu_active
is also 0, the TS flag in the guest's cr0 gets lost. This leads to corrupt FPU

Note that this crash happened _after_ firewire-core was unloaded.  The
shared workqueue tried to run firewire-core's device initialization jobs
or similar jobs.

The fix makes sure that firewire-ohci and hence firewire-core is not
unloaded before all device shutdown jobs have been completed.  This is
determined by the count of device initializations minus device releases.

Also skip useless retries in the node initialization job if the node is
to be shut down.

Hi,

While we are looking at the printk issue, I see that its printk'ing the EOE

Its really intended for the realtime audit event stream handled by the audit
daemon. So, lets avoid printk'ing that record type.

On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure
state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic.
This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules.
These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel
interface which is already known to be lossy.  These will overun the
default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call
audit_panic().  The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come
through while auditd is stopped.

This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by
just not panicing if auditd is not running.  We know printk is lossy and
if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use
printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try?
At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will
eventually know that things went bad.

The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd
disappears.  We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send
it so that message is lost.  At least this way we will account for the
last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic.  This code
path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons.  If
auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk
this code path.

Eric Sandeen tracked an XFS on ARM corruption bug down to a function
under fs/xfs/ involving some get_unaligned() calls on u64 pointers.
As it turns out, calling ARM's get_unaligned() on a u64 pointer
pointing to the following byte sequence:

	80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87

would return ffffffff83828180 (LE mode.)  This turns out to be
because of implicit u8 -> int promotion in ARM's implementation of
various helpers for get_unaligned(), causing them to accidentally
return signed instead of unsigned values, which in turn caused the
subsequent casts to unsigned long long in __get_unaligned_8_[bl]e()
to sign-extend the lower words.

Fix by casting the return values of __get_unaligned_[24]_[bl]e()
to unsigned int.

This per-CPU access needs to be done in such a way as to guarantee that
the code using it cannot move to some other CPU before all uses of the

invoked from softirq context, which currrently cannot migrate to some
other CPU, life would be better if this code did not silently make such

avoid over-eager large page splitup.

When the target area needs to be split or is split already (ioremap)
then the current code enforces the split of large mappings in the alias
regions even if we could avoid it.

Use a separate variable processed in the cpa_data structure to carry
the number of pages which have been processed instead of reusing the

I recently stumbled upon a problem in the support for huge pages. If a
program using huge pages does not explicitly unmap them, they remain
mapped (and therefore, are lost) after the program exits.

I observed that the free huge page count in /proc/meminfo decreased when
running my program, and it did not increase after the program exited.
After running the program a few times, no more huge pages could be
allocated.

The reason for this seems to be that the x86 pmd_bad and pud_bad
consider pmd/pud entries having the PSE bit set invalid. I think there
is nothing wrong with this bit being set, it just indicates that the
lowest level of translation has been reached. This bit has to be (and
is) checked after the basic validity of the entry has been checked, like
in this fragment from follow_page() in mm/memory.c:

  if (pmd_none(*pmd) || unlikely(pmd_bad(*pmd)))
          goto no_page_table;

  if (pmd_huge(*pmd)) {
          BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET);
          page = follow_huge_pmd(mm, address, pmd, flags & FOLL_WRITE);
          goto out;
  }

Note that this code currently doesn't work as intended if the pmd refers
to a huge page, the pmd_huge() check can not be reached if the page is
huge.

Extending pmd_bad() (and, for future 1GB page support, pud_bad()) to
allow for the PSE bit being set fixes this. For similar reasons,
allowing the NX bit being set is necessary, too. I have seen huge pages
having the NX bit set in their pmd entry, which would cause the same
problem.
