Presently hwpoison is using lock_system_sleep() to prevent a race with
memory hotplug.  However lock_system_sleep() is a no-op if
CONFIG_HIBERNATION=n.  Therefore we need a new lock.

<title>vmalloc: eagerly clear ptes on vunmap</title>

<id>64141da587241301ce8638cc945f8b67853156ec</id>
<content type='text'>
On stock 2.6.37-rc4, running:

  # mount lilith:/export /mnt/lilith
  # find  /mnt/lilith/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file

crashes the machine fairly quickly under Xen.  Often it results in oops
messages, but the couple of times I tried just now, it just hung quietly
and made Xen print some rude messages:

    (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp
    3000000000000000) for mfn 1d7058 (pfn 18fa7)
    (XEN) mm.c:964:d80 Attempt to create linear p.t. with write perms
    (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000010 != exp
    1000000000000000) for mfn 1d2e04 (pfn 1d1fb)
    (XEN) mm.c:2965:d80 Error while pinning mfn 1d2e04

Which means the domain tried to map a pagetable page RW, which would
allow it to map arbitrary memory, so Xen stopped it.  This is because
vm_unmap_ram() left some pages mapped in the vmalloc area after NFS had
finished with them, and those pages got recycled as pagetable pages
while still having these RW aliases.

Removing those mappings immediately removes the Xen-visible aliases, and
so it has no problem with those pages being reused as pagetable pages.
Deferring the TLB flush doesn't upset Xen because it can flush the TLB
itself as needed to maintain its invariants.

When unmapping a region in the vmalloc space, clear the ptes
immediately.  There's no point in deferring this because there's no
amortization benefit.

The TLBs are left dirty, and they are flushed lazily to amortize the
cost of the IPIs.

This specific motivation for this patch is an oops-causing regression
since 2.6.36 when using NFS under Xen, triggered by the NFS client's use
of vm_map_ram() introduced in 56e4ebf877b60 ("NFS: readdir with vmapped
pages") .  XFS also uses vm_map_ram() and could cause similar problems.

<title>xen: fix MSI setup and teardown for PV on HVM guests</title>

<id>af42b8d12f8adec6711cb824549a0edac6a4ae8f</id>
<content type='text'>
When remapping MSIs into pirqs for PV on HVM guests, qemu is responsible
for doing the actual mapping and unmapping.
We only give qemu the desired pirq number when we ask to do the mapping
the first time, after that we should be reading back the pirq number
from qemu every time we want to re-enable the MSI.

This fixes a bug in xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs that manifests itself when
trying to enable the same MSI for the second time: the old MSI to pirq
mapping is still valid at this point but xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs would
try to assign a new pirq anyway.
A simple way to reproduce this bug is to assign an MSI capable network
card to a PV on HVM guest, if the user brings down the corresponding
ethernet interface and up again, Linux would fail to enable MSIs on the
device.

<title>xen: use PHYSDEVOP_get_free_pirq to implement find_unbound_pirq</title>

<id>e5fc7345412d5e4758fcef55a74354c5cbefd61e</id>
<content type='text'>
Use the new hypercall PHYSDEVOP_get_free_pirq to ask Xen to allocate a
pirq. Remove the unsupported PHYSDEVOP_get_nr_pirqs hypercall to get the
amount of pirq available.

This fixes find_unbound_pirq that otherwise would return a number
starting from nr_irqs that might very well be out of range in Xen.

The symptom of this bug is that when you passthrough an MSI capable pci
device to a PV on HVM guest, Linux would fail to enable MSIs on the
device.

<title>exec: copy-and-paste the fixes into compat_do_execve() paths</title>

<id>114279be2120a916e8a04feeb2ac976a10016f2f</id>
<content type='text'>
Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible.
That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and
uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later.

compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm-&gt;vma/mm directly and thus has
two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory
is not visible to oom killer.

Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings()
to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0)
as do_execve() does.

Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and
compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly
makes sense.

uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later.

compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm-&gt;vma/mm directly and thus has
two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory
is not visible to oom killer.

Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings()
to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0)
as do_execve() does.

Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and
compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly
makes sense.
