94c80b2598 [PATCH] Ptrace/i386: fix "syscall audit" interaction with singlestep
Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

Avoid giving two traps for singlestep instead of one, when syscall auditing is
enabled.

In fact no singlestep trap is sent on syscall entry, only on syscall exit, as
can be seen in entry.S:

# Note that in this mask _TIF_SINGLESTEP is not tested !!! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        testb $(_TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE|_TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT|_TIF_SECCOMP),TI_flags(%ebp)
        jnz syscall_trace_entry
	...
syscall_trace_entry:
	...
	call do_syscall_trace

But auditing a SINGLESTEP'ed process causes do_syscall_trace to be called, so
the tracer will get one more trap on the syscall entry path, which it
shouldn't.

c2ff18f407 [PATCH] encrypt suspend data for easy wiping
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.

4ad8d38342 [PATCH] i386 boottime for_each_cpu broken
for_each_cpu walks through all processors in cpu_possible_map, which is
defined as cpu_callout_map on i386 and isn't initialised until all
processors have been booted. This breaks things which do for_each_cpu
iterations early during boot. So, define cpu_possible_map as a bitmap with
NR_CPUS bits populated. This was triggered by a patch i'm working on which
does alloc_percpu before bringing up secondary processors.

From: Alexander Nyberg <alexn@telia.com>

i386-boottime-for_each_cpu-broken.patch
i386-boottime-for_each_cpu-broken-fix.patch

The SMP version of __alloc_percpu checks the cpu_possible_map before
allocating memory for a certain cpu.  With the above patches the BSP cpuid
is never set in cpu_possible_map which breaks CONFIG_SMP on uniprocessor
machines (as soon as someone tries to dereference something allocated via
__alloc_percpu, which in fact is never allocated since the cpu is not set
in cpu_possible_map).

d7271b14b2 [PATCH] i386: encapsulate copying of pgd entries
Add a clone operation for pgd updates.

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
PAE compiles by eliminating the memset.

748f2edb52 [PATCH] x86 NMI: better support for debuggers
This patch adds a notify to the die_nmi notify that the system is about to
be taken down.  If the notify is handled with a NOTIFY_STOP return, the
system is given a new lease on life.

We also change the nmi watchdog to carry on if die_nmi returns.

This give debug code a chance to a) catch watchdog timeouts and b) possibly
allow the system to continue, realizing that the time out may be due to
debugger activities such as single stepping which is usually done with
"other" cpus held.

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

back when it used to be called that.

a520112930 [PATCH] x86: make IOPL explicit
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

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.

0998e4228a [PATCH] x86: privilege cleanup
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.

c9b02a2413 [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.

e7a2ff593c [PATCH] i386: load_tls() fix
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.

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

4bb0d3ec3e [PATCH] i386: inline asm cleanup
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:

#define __flush_tlb_single(addr) \
	__asm__ __volatile__("invlpg %0": :"m" (*(char *) addr))

484b90c4b9 [PATCH] kdump: Save parameter segment in protected mode (x86)
o With introduction of kexec as boot-loader, the assumption that parameter
  segment will always be loaded at lower address than kernel and will be
  addressable by early bootup page tables is no longer valid. In kexec on
  panic case parameter segment might well be loaded beyond kernel image and
  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.

5fd75ebb1a [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.

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

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.

869f96a00e [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.)
