Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to
the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching
virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has
guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same
time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall.
Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr
switching during bootup.

The ioapic acknowledge path translates interrupt vectors to irqs. It
currently uses a first match algorithm, stopping when it finds the first
redirection table entry containing the vector. That fails however if the
guest changes the irq to a different line, leaving the old redirection table
entry in place (though masked). Result is interrupts not making it to the
guest.
Fix by always scanning the entire redirection table.

KVM has a heuristic to unshadow guest pagetables when userspace accesses
them, on the assumption that most guests do not allow userspace to access
pagetables directly. Unfortunately, in addition to unshadowing the pagetables,
it also oopses.
This never triggers on ordinary guests since sane OSes will clear the
pagetables before assigning them to userspace, which will trigger the flood
heuristic, unshadowing the pagetables before the first userspace access. One
particular guest, though (Xenner) will run the kernel in userspace, triggering
the oops. Since the heuristic is incorrect in this case, we can simply
remove it.

kvm_mmu_pte_write() does not handle 32-bit non-PAE large page backed
guests properly. It will instantiate two 2MB sptes pointing to the same
physical 2MB page when a guest large pte update is trapped.
Instead of duplicating code to handle this, disallow directory level
updates to happen through kvm_mmu_pte_write(), so the two 2MB sptes
emulating one guest 4MB pte can be correctly created by the page fault

If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before
local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such
timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit.
It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done
with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen.

A guest vcpu instance can be scheduled to a different physical CPU
between the test for KVM_REQ_MIGRATE_TIMER and local_irq_disable().
If that happens, the timer will only be migrated to the current pCPU on
the next exit, meaning that guest LAPIC timer event can be delayed until
a host interrupt is triggered.
Fix it by cancelling guest entry if any vcpu request is pending. This
has the side effect of nicely consolidating vcpu->requests checks.

There is a race in the COW logic. It contains a shortcut to avoid the
COW and reuse the page if we have the sole reference on the page,
however it is possible to have two racing do_wp_page()ers with one
causing the other to mistakenly believe it is safe to take the shortcut
when it is not. This could lead to data corruption.
Process 1 and process2 each have a wp pte of the same anon page (ie.
one forked the other). The page's mapcount is 2. Then they both
attempt to write to it around the same time...
proc1 proc2 thr1 proc2 thr2

ptep_set_access_flags (allow W)

/build/mts/release/bora-93057/bora/vmx/main/vmmonPosix.c:774"
and the reason seems to be that there's an old bug in how we handle do
FOLL_ANON on VM_SHARED areas in get_user_pages(), but since it only
triggered if the whole page table was missing, nobody had apparently hit
it before.
The recent changes to 'follow_page()' made the FOLL_ANON logic trigger
not just for whole missing page tables, but for individual pages as
well, and exposed this problem.
This fixes it by making the test for when FOLL_ANON is used more
careful, and also makes the code easier to read and understand by moving
the logic to a separate inline function.

The path that __d_path() computes can become slightly inconsistent when it
races with mount operations: it grabs the vfsmount_lock when traversing mount
points but immediately drops it again, only to re-grab it when it reaches the
next mount point. The result is that the filename computed is not always
consisent, and the file may never have had that name. (This is unlikely, but
still possible.)
Fix this by grabbing the vfsmount_lock for the whole duration of

The POSIX.1 draft spec for futimens()/utimensat() says:
Only a process with the effective user ID equal to the
user ID of the file, *or with write access to the file*,
or with appropriate privileges may use futimens() or
utimensat() with a null pointer as the times argument
or with both tv_nsec fields set to the special value
UTIME_NOW.
The important piece here is "with write access to the file", and
this matters for futimens(), which deals with an argument that
is a file descriptor referring to the file whose timestamps are
being updated, The standard is saying that the "writability"
check is based on the file permissions, not the access mode with
which the file is opened. (This behavior is consistent with the
semantics of FreeBSD's futimes().) However, Linux is currently
doing the latter -- futimens(fd, times) is a library
function implemented as
utimensat(fd, NULL, times, 0)
and within the utimensat() implementation we have the code:
f = fget(dfd); // dfd is 'fd'
...
if (f) {
if (!(f->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE))
goto mnt_drop_write_and_out;
The check should instead be based on the file permissions.
Thanks to Miklos for pointing out how to do this check.
Miklos also pointed out a simplification that could be
made to my first version of this patch, since the checks
for the pathname and file descriptor cases can now be
conflated.

The POSIX.1 draft spec for utimensat() says:
Only a process with the effective user ID equal to the
user ID of the file or with appropriate privileges may use
futimens() or utimensat() with a non-null times argument
that does not have both tv_nsec fields set to UTIME_NOW
and does not have both tv_nsec fields set to UTIME_OMIT.
If this condition is violated, then the error EPERM should result.
However, the current implementation does not generate EPERM if
one tv_nsec field is UTIME_NOW while the other is UTIME_OMIT.
It should give this error for that case.
This patch:
a) Repairs that problem.
b) Removes the now unneeded nsec_special() helper function.
c) Adds some comments to explain the checks that are being
performed.
Thanks to Miklos, who provided comments on the previous iteration
of this patch. As a result, this version is a little simpler and
and its logic is better structured.
Miklos suggested an alternative idea, migrating the
is_owner_or_cap() checks into fs/attr.c:inode_change_ok() via
the use of an ATTR_OWNER_CHECK flag. Maybe we could do that
later, but for now I've gone with this version, which is
IMO simpler, and can be more easily read as being correct.

The POSIX.1 draft spec for utimensat() says that if a times[n].tv_nsec
field is UTIME_OMIT or UTIME_NOW, then the value in the corresponding
tv_sec field is ignored. See the last sentence of this para, from
the spec:
If the tv_nsec field of a timespec structure has
the special value UTIME_NOW, the file's relevant
timestamp shall be set to the greatest value
supported by the file system that is not greater than
the current time. If the tv_nsec field has the
special value UTIME_OMIT, the file's relevant
timestamp shall not be changed. In either case,
the tv_sec field shall be ignored.
However the current Linux implementation requires the tv_sec value to be
zero (or the EINVAL error results). This requirement should be removed.

This patch fixes utimensat() to make its behavior consistent
with that of utime()/utimes() when dealing with files marked
immutable and append-only.
The current utimensat() implementation also returns EPERM if
'times' is non-NULL and the tv_nsec fields are both UTIME_NOW.
For consistency, the
(times != NULL && times[0].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW &&
times[1].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW)
case should be treated like the traditional utimes() case where
'times' is NULL. That is, the call should succeed for a file
marked append-only and should give the error EACCES if the file
is marked as immutable.
The simple way to do this is to set 'times' to NULL
if (times[0].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW && times[1].tv_nsec == UTIME_NOW).
This is also the natural approach, since POSIX.1 semantics consider the
times == {{x, UTIME_NOW}, {y, UTIME_NOW}}
to be exactly equivalent to the case for
times == NULL.
(Thanks to Miklos for pointing this out.)
Patch 3 in this series relies on the simplification provided
by this patch.

This patch addresses a very sporadic pi-futex related failure in
highly threaded java apps on large SMP systems.
David Holmes reported that the pi_state consistency check in
lookup_pi_state triggered with his test application. This means that
the kernel internal pi_state and the user space futex variable are out
of sync. First we assumed that this is a user space data corruption,
but deeper investigation revieled that the problem happend because the
pi-futex code is not handling a fault in the futex_lock_pi path when
the user space variable needs to be fixed up.
The fault happens when a fork mapped the anon memory which contains
the futex readonly for COW or the page got swapped out exactly between
the unlock of the futex and the return of either the new futex owner
or the task which was the expected owner but failed to acquire the
kernel internal rtmutex. The current futex_lock_pi() code drops out
with an inconsistent in case it faults and returns -EFAULT to user
space. User space has no way to fixup that state.
When we wrote this code we thought that we could not drop the hash
bucket lock at this point to handle the fault.
After analysing the code again it turned out to be wrong because there
are only two tasks involved which might modify the pi_state and the
user space variable:
- the task which acquired the rtmutex
- the pending owner of the pi_state which did not get the rtmutex
Both tasks drop into the fixup_pi_state() function before returning to
user space. The first task which acquired the hash bucket lock faults
in the fixup of the user space variable, drops the spinlock and calls
futex_handle_fault() to fault in the page. Now the second task could
acquire the hash bucket lock and tries to fixup the user space
variable as well. It either faults as well or it succeeds because the
first task already faulted the page in.
One caveat is to avoid a double fixup. After returning from the fault
handling we reacquire the hash bucket lock and check whether the
pi_state owner has been modified already.
