KVM: Fix vmload and friends misinterpreted as lidt
The AMD SVM instruction family all overload the 0f 01 /3 opcode, further
multiplexing on the three r/m bits. But the code decided that anything that
isn't a vmmcall must be an lidt (which shares the 0f 01 /3 opcode, for the
case that mod = 3).
Fix by aborting emulation if this isn't a vmmcall.

KVM: x86: Virtualize debug registers
So far KVM only had basic x86 debug register support, once introduced to
realize guest debugging that way. The guest itself was not able to use
those registers.
This patch now adds (almost) full support for guest self-debugging via
hardware registers. It refactors the code, moving generic parts out of
SVM (VMX was already cleaned up by the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG patches), and
it ensures that the registers are properly switched between host and
guest.
This patch also prepares debug register usage by the host. The latter
will (once wired-up by the following patch) allow for hardware
breakpoints/watchpoints in guest code. If this is enabled, the guest
will only see faked debug registers without functionality, but with
content reflecting the guest's modifications.
Tested on Intel only, but SVM /should/ work as well, but who knows...
Known limitations: Trapping on tss switch won't work - most probably on
Intel.
Credits also go to Joerg Roedel - I used his once posted debugging
series as platform for this patch.

KVM: New guest debug interface
This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.
To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.
The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.
Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be

fix ptrace slowness
This patch fixes bug #12208:
Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host
This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.
The problem is this:
- task A is ptracing task B
- task B stops on a trace event
- task A is woken up and preempts task B
- task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
- this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
- task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
- ...
Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.
This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.

eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headers
When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a

However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or
ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is
stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front
field.
ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using
num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to
the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K
was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single,
zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of
kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets
in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K.

smsc911x: reset last known duplex and carrier on open
smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as

a change in duplex or carrier. This patch clears the last known values
every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module
is loaded.
Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware
after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. On a full duplex link this causes
the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly
transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex.
The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in
full-duplex mode. When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are
correctly ignored by the hardware.
Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if
packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll
interval. An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib,
but I haven't managed to make this work 100% robustly yet.

The NAPI poll parameter netdev_budget is not documented in
kernel-docs. Since it may have a substantial effect on at least some
network loads, it should be.

tulip: fix crash on iface up with shirq debug
Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its
initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't
enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler
when registering the interrupt as a sanity check.
This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring
before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing
now shared with tulip_close.
Tested with a shell loop running ifup, ifdown in a loop a few hundred
times with DEBUG_SHIRQ on.

virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detection
Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net
For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier.
This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm
where NetworkManager just configures and sets up
everything automagically.
If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control
carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level
emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver
to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner
makes user experience that much better.

The un-refactored code checked the link speed and duplex of
every slave on every pass; the refactored code did not do so.
The 802.3ad and balance-alb/tlb modes utilize the speed and
duplex information, and require it to be kept up to date. This patch
adds a notifier check to perform the appropriate updating when the slave
device speed changes.

bnx2: Fix problem of using wrong IRQ handler.
The MSI-X handler was chosen before the call to pci_enable_msix().
If MSI-X was not available, the wrong MSI-X handler would be used in
INTA mode. This would cause a screaming interrupt problem because
INTA would not be cleared by the MSI-X handler.
Fixed by assigning MSI-X handler after pci_enable_msix() returns
successfully. Also update version to 1.9.3.
Thomas Chenault <thomas_chenault@dell.com> helped us find this problem.

After TASK_SIZE now gives the current size of the address space the
upgrade of a 64 bit process from 3 to 4 levels of page table needs
to use the arch_mmap_check hook to catch large mmap lengths. The
get_unmapped_area* functions need to check for -ENOMEM from the
arch_get_unmapped_area*, upgrade the page table and retry.

Make page table walking on s390 more robust. The current code requires
that the pgd/pud/pmd/pte loop is only done for address ranges that are
below the end address of the last vma of the address space. But this
is not always true, e.g. the generic page table walker does not guarantee
this. Change TASK_SIZE/TASK_SIZE_OF to reflect the current size of the
address space. This makes the generic page table walker happy but it
breaks the upgrade of a 3 level page table to a 4 level page table.
To make the upgrade work again another fix is required.
