This is a partial revert of 4cd8b5e2 "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.

It's only used by cmpxchg8b_emu (see db677ffa 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).

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.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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 do if (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 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.

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.

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.

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 <jack@suse.cz>
