* x86: fix NULL pointer deref in __switch_toSuresh Siddha2008-06-201-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I am able to reproduce the oops reported by Simon in __switch_to() with lguest. My debug showed that there is at least one lguest specific issue (which should be present in 2.6.25 and before aswell) and it got exposed with a kernel oops with the recent fpu dynamic allocation patches. In addition to the previous possible scenario (with fpu_counter), in the presence of lguest, it is possible that the cpu's TS bit it still set and the lguest launcher task's thread_info has TS_USEDFPU still set. This is because of the way the lguest launcher handling the guest's TS bit. (look at lguest_set_ts() in lguest_arch_run_guest()). This can result in a DNA fault while doing unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). This will end up causing a DNA fault in the context of new process thats getting context switched in (as opossed to handling DNA fault in the context of lguest launcher/helper process). This is wrong in both pre and post 2.6.25 kernels. In the recent 2.6.26-rc series, this is showing up as NULL pointer dereferences or sleeping function called from atomic context(__switch_to()), as we free and dynamically allocate the FPU context for the newly created threads. Older kernels might show some FPU corruption for processes running inside of lguest. With the appended patch, my test system is running for more than 50 mins now. So atleast some of your oops (hopefully all!) should get fixed. Please give it a try. I will spend more time with this fix tomorrow.

| * lguest: per-vcpu lguest pgdir managementGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this patch makes the pgdir management per-vcpu. The pgdirs pool is still guest-wide (although it'll probably need to grow when we are really executing more vcpus), but the pgdidx index is gone, since it makes no sense anymore.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fields found in lguest_arch are not really per-guest, but per-cpu (gdt, idt, etc). So this patch turns lguest_arch into lg_cpu_arch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the most obvious per-vcpu field: registers.

* cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()Gautham R Shenoy2008-01-251-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the refcount semantics in these operations. The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed. In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the cpu_present_map there.

* generalize lgread_u32/lgwrite_u32.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jes complains that page table code still uses lgread_u32 even though it now uses general kernel pte types. The best thing to do is to generalize lgread_u32 and lgwrite_u32. This means we lose the efficiency of getuser(). We could potentially regain it if we used __copy_from_user instead of copy_from_user, but I'm not certain that our range check is equivalent to access_ok() on all platforms.

* Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages. 2) It means we don't have to know page_offset. 3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code. 4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset. 5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular). 6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial hypercall give us that, too.

* Allow guest to specify syscall vector to use.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | (Based on Ron Minnich's LGUEST_PLAN9_SYSCALL patch). This patch allows Guests to specify what system call vector they want, and we try to reserve it. We only allow one non-Linux system call vector, to try to avoid DoS on the Host. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* Move register setup into i386_core.cJes Sorensen2007-10-231-0/+36

* Make hypercalls arch-independent.Jes Sorensen2007-10-231-1/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up the hypercall code to make the code in hypercalls.c architecture independent. First process the common hypercalls and then call lguest_arch_do_hcall() if the call hasn't been handled. Rename struct hcall_ring to hcall_args. This patch requires the previous patch which reorganize the layout of struct lguest_regs on i386 so they match the layout of struct hcall_args.

* Introduce "hcall" pointer to indicate pending hypercall.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we look at the "trapnum" to see if the Guest wants a hypercall. But once the hypercall is done we have to reset trapnum to a bogus value, otherwise if we exit to userspace and return, we'd run the same hypercall twice (that was a nasty bug to find!). This has two main effects: 1) When Jes's patch changes the hypercall args to be a generic "struct hcall_args" we simply change the type of "lg->hcall". It's set by arch code, so if it has to copy args or something it can do so, and point "hcall" into lg->arch somewhere. 2) Async hypercalls only get run when an actual hypercall is pending. This simplfies the code a little and is a more logical semantic. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* Reorder guest saved regs to match hyperall orderJes Sorensen2007-10-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Move eax next to ebx/ecx/edx in struct lguest_regs on i386, so they will be located together and allow it to map directly to a struct hcall_ring entry (which will be renamed struct hcall_args as in a subsequent patch). This is in preparation for making the code hcall code architecture independent. Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* Rename switcher.S to x86/switcher_32.SRusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+350
lguest uses a "switcher" shim mapped high to bounce between host and guest. As lguest becomes less i386-centric, we separate this code into a subdir. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
