In the case of protected_restore_fp_context{,32}, the variable tmp is
really used. Its use is tricky in that we really care about the side
effects of the __put_user() calls. So we must mark tmp with
__maybe_unused to quiet the warning.

The old prepare_ftrace_return() for MIPS is confused and have introduced
some problem. This patch cleans up the names of the arguments, variables
and related functions.
For MIPS, the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not really the
'selfpc' described in ftrace-design.txt but instead it is the self
return address. This did break the compatibility of the generic
interface but really reduced one unneeded calculation for to get the
current function name, the parent return address and the self return
address are enough, no need to tranform the self return address to the
self address.
But set_graph_function of function graph tracer is an exception, it does
need the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() as 'selfpc', for it
will use 'selfpc' to match user's configuration of function graph
entries, but in reality, it doesn't need the 'selfpc' but the recorded
ip address of the mcount calling site in the __mcount_loc section. So,
the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not important, the real
requirement is the right recorded ip address should be calculated and
assign to trace.func, this will be fixed in the next patches.

The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating OSF partitions contains a bug that leaks data
from kernel heap memory to userspace for certain corrupted OSF
partitions.
In more detail:
for (i = 0 ; i < le16_to_cpu(label->d_npartitions); i++, partition++) {
iterates from 0 to d_npartitions - 1, where d_npartitions is read from
the partition table without validation and partition is a pointer to an
array of at most 8 d_partitions.

If there is no proper PFN value in the M2P for the MFN

consult the M2P override to see if there is an entry for this.
[Note: we also consult the M2P override if the MFN
is past our machine_to_phys size].
We consult the P2M with the PFN. In case the returned

(which signify that the MFN can be either "missing" or it
belongs to DOMID_IO) or the p2m(m2p(mfn)) != mfn, we check
the M2P override. If we fail the M2P override check, we reset
the PFN value to INVALID_P2M_ENTRY.
Next we try to find the MFN in the P2M using the MFN
value (not the PFN value) and if found, we know
that this MFN is an identity value and return it as so.
Otherwise we have exhausted all the posibilities and we
return the PFN, which at this stage can either be a real

We walk the E820 region and start at 0 (for PV guests we start
at ISA_END_ADDRESS) and skip any E820 RAM regions. For all other
regions and as well the gaps we set them to be identity mappings.
The reasons we do not want to set the identity mapping from 0->
ISA_END_ADDRESS when running as PV is b/c that the kernel would
try to read DMI information and fail (no permissions to read that).
There is a lot of gnarly code to deal with that weird region so
we won't try to do a cleanup in this patch.
This code ends up calling 'set_phys_to_identity' with the start
and end PFN of the the E820 that are non-RAM or have gaps.
On 99% of machines that means one big region right underneath the
4GB mark. Usually starts at 0xc0000 (or 0x80000) and goes to
0x100000.

Our P2M tree structure is a three-level. On the leaf nodes
we set the Machine Frame Number (MFN) of the PFN. What this means
is that when one does: pfn_to_mfn(pfn), which is used when creating
PTE entries, you get the real MFN of the hardware. When Xen sets
up a guest it initially populates a array which has descending
(or ascending) MFN values, as so:
idx: 0, 1, 2
[0x290F, 0x290E, 0x290D, ..]
so pfn_to_mfn(2)==0x290D. If you start, restart many guests that list
starts looking quite random.
We graft this structure on our P2M tree structure and stick in
those MFN in the leafs. But for all other leaf entries, or for the top
root, or middle one, for which there is a void entry, we assume it is
"missing". So
pfn_to_mfn(0xc0000)=INVALID_P2M_ENTRY.
We add the possibility of setting 1-1 mappings on certain regions, so
that:
pfn_to_mfn(0xc0000)=0xc0000
The benefit of this is, that we can assume for non-RAM regions (think
PCI BARs, or ACPI spaces), we can create mappings easily b/c we
get the PFN value to match the MFN.
For this to work efficiently we introduce one new page p2m_identity and
allocate (via reserved_brk) any other pages we need to cover the sides
(1GB or 4MB boundary violations). All entries in p2m_identity are set to
INVALID_P2M_ENTRY type (Xen toolstack only recognizes that and MFNs,
no other fancy value).
On lookup we spot that the entry points to p2m_identity and return the identity
value instead of dereferencing and returning INVALID_P2M_ENTRY. If the entry
points to an allocated page, we just proceed as before and return the PFN.
If the PFN has IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT set we unmask that in appropriate functions
(pfn_to_mfn).
The reason for having the IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT instead of just returning the
PFN is that we could find ourselves where pfn_to_mfn(pfn)==pfn for a
non-identity pfn. To protect ourselves against we elect to set (and get) the
IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT on all identity mapped PFNs.
This simplistic diagram is used to explain the more subtle piece of code.
There is also a digram of the P2M at the end that can help.
Imagine your E820 looking as so:
1GB 2GB
/-------------------+---------\/----\ /----------\ /---+-----\
| System RAM | Sys RAM ||ACPI| | reserved | | Sys RAM |
\-------------------+---------/\----/ \----------/ \---+-----/
^- 1029MB ^- 2001MB
[1029MB = 263424 (0x40500), 2001MB = 512256 (0x7D100), 2048MB = 524288 (0x80000)]
And dom0_mem=max:3GB,1GB is passed in to the guest, meaning memory past 1GB
is actually not present (would have to kick the balloon driver to put it in).
When we are told to set the PFNs for identity mapping (see patch: "xen/setup:
Set identity mapping for non-RAM E820 and E820 gaps.") we pass in the start
of the PFN and the end PFN (263424 and 512256 respectively). The first step is
to reserve_brk a top leaf page if the p2m[1] is missing. The top leaf page
covers 512^2 of page estate (1GB) and in case the start or end PFN is not
aligned on 512^2*PAGE_SIZE (1GB) we loop on aligned 1GB PFNs from start pfn to
end pfn. We reserve_brk top leaf pages if they are missing (means they point
to p2m_mid_missing).
With the E820 example above, 263424 is not 1GB aligned so we allocate a
reserve_brk page which will cover the PFNs estate from 0x40000 to 0x80000.
Each entry in the allocate page is "missing" (points to p2m_missing).
Next stage is to determine if we need to do a more granular boundary check
on the 4MB (or 2MB depending on architecture) off the start and end pfn's.
We check if the start pfn and end pfn violate that boundary check, and if
so reserve_brk a middle (p2m[x][y]) leaf page. This way we have a much finer
granularity of setting which PFNs are missing and which ones are identity.
In our example 263424 and 512256 both fail the check so we reserve_brk two
pages. Populate them with INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (so they both have "missing" values)
and assign them to p2m[1][2] and p2m[1][488] respectively.
At this point we would at minimum reserve_brk one page, but could be up to
three. Each call to set_phys_range_identity has at maximum a three page
cost. If we were to query the P2M at this stage, all those entries from
start PFN through end PFN (so 1029MB -> 2001MB) would return INVALID_P2M_ENTRY
("missing").
The next step is to walk from the start pfn to the end pfn setting
the IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT on each PFN. This is done in 'set_phys_range_identity'.
If we find that the middle leaf is pointing to p2m_missing we can swap it over
to p2m_identity - this way covering 4MB (or 2MB) PFN space. At this point we
do not need to worry about boundary aligment (so no need to reserve_brk a middle
page, figure out which PFNs are "missing" and which ones are identity), as that
has been done earlier. If we find that the middle leaf is not occupied by
p2m_identity or p2m_missing, we dereference that page (which covers
512 PFNs) and set the appropriate PFN with IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT. In our example
263424 and 512256 end up there, and we set from p2m[1][2][256->511] and
p2m[1][488][0->256] with IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT set.
All other regions that are void (or not filled) either point to p2m_missing
(considered missing) or have the default value of INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (also
considered missing). In our case, p2m[1][2][0->255] and p2m[1][488][257->511]
contain the INVALID_P2M_ENTRY value and are considered "missing."
This is what the p2m ends up looking (for the E820 above) with this
fabulous drawing:

out of RCU. If we'd done (RCU) ->d_revalidate() and it had not refused

* now we are not in RCU mode and hopefully have a dentry. If we
do not, lock parent, do full d_lookup() and if that has not found anything,
allocate and call ->lookup(). If we'd done that ->lookup(), remember that
dentry is good and we don't need to revalidate it.
* now we have a dentry. If it has ->d_revalidate() and we can't
skip it, call it.
* hopefully dentry is good; if not, either fail (in case of error)
or try to invalidate it. If d_invalidate() has succeeded, drop it and
retry everything as if original attempt had not found a dentry.
* now we can finish it up - deal with mountpoint crossing and

Instead of path_lookupat() doing trailing symlink resolution,

up, then either open it or return error or, if it's a symlink,
give the symlink back to path_openat() to be resolved there.
The really messy complication here is RCU. We don't want to drop
out of RCU mode before the final lookup, since we don't want to
bounce parent directory ->d_count without a good reason.
Result is _not_ pretty; later in the series we'll clean it up.
For now we are roughly back where we'd been before the revert
