      xen: update mask_rw_pte after kernel page tables init changes · d8aa5ec3
      Stefano Stabellini authored
      
      After "x86-64, mm: Put early page table high" already existing kernel
      page table pages can be mapped using early_ioremap too so we need to
      update mask_rw_pte to make sure these pages are still mapped RO.
      The reason why we have to do that is explain by the commit message of
      fef5ba79:
      
      "Xen requires that all pages containing pagetable entries to be mapped
      read-only.  If pages used for the initial pagetable are already mapped
      then we can change the mapping to RO.  However, if they are initially
      unmapped, we need to make sure that when they are later mapped, they
      are also mapped RO.
      
      ..SNIP..
      
      the pagetable setup code early_ioremaps the pages to write their
      entries, so we must make sure that mappings created in the early_ioremap
      fixmap area are mapped RW.  (Those mappings are removed before the pages
      are presented to Xen as pagetable pages.)"
      
      We accomplish all this in mask_rw_pte by mapping RO all the pages mapped
      using early_ioremap apart from the last one that has been allocated
      because it is not a page table page yet (it has not been hooked into the
      page tables yet).

      xen: set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped · 14988a4d
      Stefano Stabellini authored
      
      Do not set max_pfn_mapped to the end of the initial memory mappings,
      that also contain pages that don't belong in pfn space (like the mfn
      list).
      
      Set max_pfn_mapped to the last real pfn mapped in the initial memory
      mappings that is the pfn backing _end.

      x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concluded · e5f15b45
      Yinghai Lu authored
      
      Now cleanup_highmap actually is in two steps: one is early in head64.c
      and only clears above _end; a second one is in init_memory_mapping() and
      tries to clean from _brk_end to _end.
      It should check if those boundaries are PMD_SIZE aligned but currently
      does not.
      Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory
      hotplug, so we really should not handle initial kernel mappings there.
      
      This patch moves cleanup_highmap() down after _brk_end is settled so
      we can do everything in one step.
      Also we honor max_pfn_mapped in the implementation of cleanup_highmap.

      x86: Flush TLB if PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE mode · 4981d01e
      Shaohua Li authored
      According to intel CPU manual, every time PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE
      mode, we need do a full TLB flush. Current code follows this and there is
      comment for this too in the code.
      
      But current code misses the multi-threaded case. A changed page table
      might be used by several CPUs, every such CPU should flush TLB. Usually
      this isn't a problem, because we prepopulate all PGD entries at process
      fork. But when the process does munmap and follows new mmap, this issue
      will be triggered.
      
      When it happens, some CPUs keep doing page faults:

      x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is available · e8e999cf
      Namhyung Kim authored
      
      Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
      contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
      could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
      the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.
      
      However this was not going to happen because scan start point
      was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
      meet.
      
      Commit 9c0729dc ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
      tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
      read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
      invalid.
      
      This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
      stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.
      
      End result looks like below:

      VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38 · c83ce989
      Trond Myklebust authored
      
      The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
      because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
      directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
      appropriate unlink rpc call.
      
      Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
      seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
      whether or not there is a race:
        - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
        - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
          the dentries in that super block.
        - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
          deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
          is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

      dcache.c: create helper function for duplicated functionality · c826cb7d
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      This creates a helper function for he "try to ascend into the parent
      directory" case, which was written out in triplicate before.  With all
      the locking and subtle sequence number stuff, we really don't want to
      duplicate that kind of code.
