[PATCH] uml: fix SIGWINCH handler race while waiting for signals.
If a SIGWINCH comes in, while winch_thread() isn't waiting in wait(),
winch_thread could miss signals. It isn't very probable, that anyone will
see this causing trouble, as it would need a very special timing, that a
missed SIGWINCH results in a wrong window size.
So, this is a minor problem. But why not fix, as it can be done so easy?

Apparently, GDB gets confused when we do an execvp() on ourselves.
Since it's simply done to allocate further space for command line arguments
(which we'll use to allow gathering the startup command line for guest
processes through the host), allow the user to disable that to get a
debuggable UML binary.

Avoid unconditionally jumping to work_pending and code copying, just reuse
the already existing resume_userspace path.
One interesting note, from Charles P. Wright, suggested that the API is
improvable with no downsides for UML (except that it will have to support
yet another host API, since dropping support for the current API, for UML,
is not reasonable from users' point of view).

This is simply an adjustment for "Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction
with singlestep" to work on top of SYSEMU patches, too. On this patch, I have
some doubts: I wonder why we need to alter that way ptrace_disable().
I left the patch this way because it has been extensively tested, but I don't
understand the reason.
The current PTRACE_DETACH handling simply clears child->ptrace; actually this
is not enough because entry.S just looks at the thread_flags; actually,
do_syscall_trace checks current->ptrace but I don't think depending on that is
good, at least for performance, so I think the clearing is done elsewhere.
For instance, on PTRACE_CONT it's done, but doing PTRACE_DETACH without
PTRACE_CONT is possible (and happens when gdb crashes and one kills it
manually).

[PATCH] UML Support - Ptrace: adds the host SYSEMU support, for UML and general usage
Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>,
Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade_spam@yahoo.it>,
Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@fujitsu-siemens.com>
Adds a new ptrace(2) mode, called PTRACE_SYSEMU, resembling PTRACE_SYSCALL
except that the kernel does not execute the requested syscall; this is useful
to improve performance for virtual environments, like UML, which want to run
the syscall on their own.
In fact, using PTRACE_SYSCALL means stopping child execution twice, on entry
and on exit, and each time you also have two context switches; with SYSEMU you
avoid the 2nd stop and so save two context switches per syscall.
Also, some architectures don't have support in the host for changing the
syscall number via ptrace(), which is currently needed to skip syscall
execution (UML turns any syscall into getpid() to avoid it being executed on
the host). Fixing that is hard, while SYSEMU is easier to implement.
* This version of the patch includes some suggestions of Jeff Dike to avoid
adding any instructions to the syscall fast path, plus some other little
changes, by myself, to make it work even when the syscall is executed with
SYSENTER (but I'm unsure about them). It has been widely tested for quite a
lot of time.
* Various fixed were included to handle the various switches between
various states, i.e. when for instance a syscall entry is traced with one of
PT_SYSCALL / _SYSEMU / _SINGLESTEP and another one is used on exit.
Basically, this is done by remembering which one of them was used even after
the call to ptrace_notify().
* We're combining TIF_SYSCALL_EMU with TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SINGLESTEP
to make do_syscall_trace() notice that the current syscall was started with
SYSEMU on entry, so that no notification ought to be done in the exit path;
this is a bit of a hack, so this problem is solved in another way in next
patches.
* Also, the effects of the patch:
"Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction with singlestep"
are cancelled; they are restored back in the last patch of this series.
Detailed descriptions of the patches doing this kind of processing follow (but
I've already summed everything up).
* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #1.
In do_syscall_trace(), we check the status of the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag
only after doing the debugger notification; but the debugger might have
changed the status of this flag because he continued execution with
PTRACE_SYSCALL, so this is wrong. This patch fixes it by saving the flag
status before calling ptrace_notify().
* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #2:
avoid intercepting syscall on return when using SYSCALL again.
A guest process switching from using PTRACE_SYSEMU to PTRACE_SYSCALL
crashes.
The problem is in arch/i386/kernel/entry.S. The current SYSEMU patch
inhibits the syscall-handler to be called, but does not prevent
do_syscall_trace() to be called after this for syscall completion
interception.
The appended patch fixes this. It reuses the flag TIF_SYSCALL_EMU to
remember "we come from PTRACE_SYSEMU and now are in PTRACE_SYSCALL", since
the flag is unused in the depicted situation.
* Fix behaviour when changing interception kind #3:
avoid intercepting syscall on return when using SINGLESTEP.
When testing 2.6.9 and the skas3.v6 patch, with my latest patch and had
problems with singlestepping on UML in SKAS with SYSEMU. It looped
receiving SIGTRAPs without moving forward. EIP of the traced process was
the same for all SIGTRAPs.
What's missing is to handle switching from PTRACE_SYSCALL_EMU to
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP in a way very similar to what is done for the change from
PTRACE_SYSCALL_EMU to PTRACE_SYSCALL_TRACE.
I.e., after calling ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU), on the return path, the debugger is
notified and then wake ups the process; the syscall is executed (or skipped,
when do_syscall_trace() returns 0, i.e. when using PTRACE_SYSEMU), and
do_syscall_trace() is called again. Since we are on the return path of a
SYSEMU'd syscall, if the wake up is performed through ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL),
we must still avoid notifying the parent of the syscall exit. Now, this
behaviour is extended even to resuming with PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.

The patch protects from leaking sensitive data after resume from suspend.
During suspend a temporary key is created and this key is used to encrypt the
data written to disk. When, during resume, the data was read back into memory
the temporary key is destroyed which simply means that all data written to
disk during suspend are then inaccessible so they can't be stolen lateron.
Think of the following: you suspend while an application is running that keeps
sensitive data in memory. The application itself prevents the data from being
swapped out. Suspend, however, must write these data to swap to be able to
resume lateron. Without suspend encryption your sensitive data are then
stored in plaintext on disk. This means that after resume your sensitive data
are accessible to all applications having direct access to the swap device
which was used for suspend. If you don't need swap after resume these data
can remain on disk virtually forever. Thus it can happen that your system
gets broken in weeks later and sensitive data which you thought were encrypted
and protected are retrieved and stolen from the swap device.

This helps complete the encapsulation of updates to page tables (or pages
about to become page tables) into accessor functions rather than using
memcpy() to duplicate them. This is both generally good for consistency
and also necessary for running in a hypervisor which requires explicit
updates to page table entries.
The new function is:
clone_pgd_range(pgd_t *dst, pgd_t *src, int count);
dst - pointer to pgd range anwhere on a pgd page
src - ""
count - the number of pgds to copy.
dst and src can be on the same page, but the range must not overlap
and must not cross a page boundary.
Note that I ommitted using this call to copy pgd entries into the
software suspend page root, since this is not technically a live paging
structure, rather it is used on resume from suspend. CC'ing Pavel in case
he has any feedback on this.
Thanks to Chris Wright for noticing that this could be more optimal in

Note that (0x89 & ~0xfd) == 0; i.e, set_tss_desc(cpu,t) has already stored
the type field in the GDT with the busy bit clear.
Eliminating redundant and obscure code is always a good thing; in fact, I
pointed out this same optimization many moons ago in arch/i386/setup.c,
back when it used to be called that.
The pushf/popf in switch_to are ONLY used to switch IOPL. Making this
explicit in C code is more clear. This pushf/popf pair was added as a
bugfix for leaking IOPL to unprivileged processes when using
sysenter/sysexit based system calls (sysexit does not restore flags).
When requesting an IOPL change in sys_iopl(), it is just as easy to change
the current flags and the flags in the stack image (in case an IRET is
required), but there is no reason to force an IRET if we came in from the
SYSENTER path.
This change is the minimal solution for supporting a paravirtualized Linux
kernel that allows user processes to run with I/O privilege. Other
solutions require radical rewrites of part of the low level fault / system
call handling code, or do not fully support sysenter based system calls.
Unfortunately, this added one field to the thread_struct. But as a bonus,
on P4, the fastest time measured for switch_to() went from 312 to 260
cycles, a win of about 17% in the fast case through this performance
critical path.
Privilege checking cleanup. Originally, these diffs were much greater, but
recent cleanups in Linux have already done much of the cleanup. I added
some explanatory comments in places where the reasoning behind certain
tests is rather subtle.
Also, in traps.c, we can skip the user_mode check in handle_BUG(). The
reason is, there are only two call chains - one via die_if_kernel() and one
via do_page_fault(), both entering from die(). Both of these paths already
ensure that a kernel mode failure has happened. Also, the original check
here, if (user_mode(regs)) was insufficient anyways, since it would not
rule out BUG faults from V8086 mode execution.
Saving the %ss segment in show_regs() rather than assuming a fixed value
also gives better information about the current kernel state in the
register dump.
[PATCH] i386: use set_pte macros in a couple places where they were missing
Also, setting PDPEs in PAE mode does not require atomic operations, since the
PDPEs are cached by the processor, and only reloaded on an explicit or
implicit reload of CR3.
Since the four PDPEs must always be present in an active root, and the kernel
PDPE is never updated, we are safe even from SMIs and interrupts / NMIs using
task gates (which reload CR3). Actually, much of this is moot, since the user
PDPEs are never updated either, and the only usage of task gates is by the
doublefault handler. It appears the only place PGDs get updated in PAE mode
is in init_low_mappings() / zap_low_mapping() for initial page table creation
and recovery from ACPI sleep state, and these sites are safe by inspection.
Getting rid of the cmpxchg8b saves code space and 720 cycles in pgd_alloc on
P4.
Subtle fix: load_TLS has been moved after saving %fs and %gs segments to avoid
creating non-reversible segments. This could conceivably cause a bug if the
kernel ever needed to save and restore fs/gs from the NMI handler. It
currently does not, but this is the safest approach to avoiding fs/gs
corruption. SMIs are safe, since SMI saves the descriptor hidden state.
[PATCH] i386: inline assembler: cleanup and encapsulate descriptor and task register management
i386 inline assembler cleanup.
This change encapsulates descriptor and task register management. Also,
it is possible to improve assembler generation in two cases; savesegment
may store the value in a register instead of a memory location, which
allows GCC to optimize stack variables into registers, and MOV MEM, SEG
is always a 16-bit write to memory, making the casting in math-emu
unnecessary.
i386 arch cleanup. Introduce the serialize macro to serialize processor
state. Why the microcode update needs it I am not quite sure, since wrmsr()
is already a serializing instruction, but it is a microcode update, so I will
keep the semantic the same, since this could be a timing workaround. As far
as I can tell, this has always been there since the original microcode update
source.
i386 Inline asm cleanup. Use cr/dr accessor functions.
Also, a potential bugfix. Also, some CR accessors really should be volatile.
Reads from CR0 (numeric state may change in an exception handler), writes to
CR4 (flipping CR4.TSD) and reads from CR2 (page fault) prevent instruction
re-ordering. I did not add memory clobber to CR3 / CR4 / CR0 updates, as it
was not there to begin with, and in no case should kernel memory be clobbered,
except when doing a TLB flush, which already has memory clobber.
I noticed that page invalidation does not have a memory clobber. I can't find
a bug as a result, but there is definitely a potential for a bug here:

might not be addressable by early boot page tables.
o This case might hit in the scenario where user has reserved a chunk of
memory for second kernel, for example 16MB to 64MB, and has also built
second kernel for physical memory location 16MB. In this case kexec has no
choice but to load the parameter segment at a higher address than new kernel
image at safe location where new kernel does not stomp it.
o Though problem should automatically go away once relocatable kernel for i386
is in place and kexec can determine the location of new kernel at run time
and load parameter segment at lower address than kernel image. But till then
this patch can go in (assuming it does not break something else).
o This patch moves up the boot parameter saving code. Now boot parameters
are copied out in protected mode before page tables are initialized. This
will ensure that parameter segment is always addressable irrespective of
its physical location.

[PATCH] vm86: Honor TF bit when emulating an instruction
If the virtual 86 machine reaches an instruction which raises a General
Protection Fault (such as CLI or STI), the instruction is emulated (in
handle_vm86_fault). However, the emulation ignored the TF bit, so the
hardware debug interrupt was not invoked after such an emulated instruction
(and the DOS debugger missed it).
This patch fixes the problem by emulating the hardware debug interrupt as
the last action before control is returned to the VM86 program.

[PATCH] x86: fix EFI memory map parsing
The memory descriptors that comprise the EFI memory map are not fixed in
stone such that the size could change in the future. This uses the memory
descriptor size obtained from EFI to iterate over the memory map entries
during boot. This enables the removal of an x86 specific pad (and ifdef)
in the EFI header. I also couldn't stomach the broken up nature of the
function to put EFI runtime calls into virtual mode any longer so I fixed
that up a bit as well.
For reference, this patch only impacts x86.

[PATCH] hpet: use read_timer_tsc only when CPU has TSC
Only use read_timer_tsc only when CPU has TSC. Thanks to Andrea for
pointing this out. Should not be issue on any platforms as all recent
systems that has HPET also has CPUs that supports TSC. The patch is still
required for correctness.
[PATCH] x86: compress the stack layout of do_page_fault()
This patch pushes the creation of a rare signal frame (SIGBUS or SIGSEGV)
into a separate function, thus saving stackspace in the main
do_page_fault() stackframe. The effect is 132 bytes less of stack used by
the typical do_page_fault() invocation - resulting in a denser
cache-layout.
(Another minor effect is that in case of kernel crashes that come from a
pagefault, we add less space to the already existing frame, giving the
crash functions a slightly higher chance to do their stuff without
overflowing the stack.)
(The changes also result in slightly cleaner code.)

[PATCH] ppc64: replace schedule_timeout() with msleep_interruptible()
Use msleep_interruptible() instead of schedule_timeout() in ppc64-specific
code to cleanup/simplify the sleeping logic. Change the units of the
parameter of do_event_scan_all_cpus() to milliseconds from jiffies. The
return value of rtas_extended_busy_delay_time() was incorrectly being used
as a jiffies value (it is actually milliseconds), which is fixed by using
the value as a parameter to msleep_interruptible(). Also, use
rtas_extended_busy_delay_time() in another case where similar logic is
duplicated.

We need to indicate to the hypervisor that it needs to save our VMX

Add declaration and cacheable_memcpy(). I'll be needing this function in
new 4xx EMAC driver I'm going to submit to netdev soon.
IMHO, the better place for the declaration would be asm-powerpc/string.h,
unfortunately, ppc64 doesn't have this function, so asm-ppc/system.h is the
next best place.
