| * generic compat_sys_ustatChristoph Hellwig2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but currently only x86 and mips provide one. Add a generic compat_sys_ustat and switch all architectures over to it. Instead of doing various user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as it's trivial. This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann. Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of data writen by the syscall.

Instead after the main counter wrapped around (after several minutes) an interrupt was triggered and afterwards the periodic interrupt took effect. This can be fixed by implementing HPET spec recommendation for programming the periodic mode (i.e. stopping the main counter).

Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled separately for each field in the message because some of the fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead. User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart and choose what suits its needs. When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket associated with it. The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's start_hard_xmit routine.

This can cause memory corruption when swapping out. Without this the other cpu can still write to a freed host physical page. tlb smp flush must happen if rmap_remove is called always before mmu_lock is released because the VM will take the mmu_lock before it can finally add the page to the freelist after swapout. mmu notifier makes it safe to flush the tlb after freeing the page (otherwise it would never be safe) so we can do a single flush for multiple sptes invalidated.

Using vmx_set_efer() in enter_lmode() removes some duplicated code and also ensures we call setup_msrs(). We can safely pass the value of shadow_efer to vmx_set_efer() as no other bits in the efer change while enabling long mode (guest first sets EFER.LME, then sets CR0.PG which causes a vmexit where we activate long mode). With this fix, is_long_mode() can check for EFER.LMA set instead of EFER.LME and 5e23049e86dd298b72e206b420513dbc3a240cd9 can be reverted.
