The xfer_align sw_params parameter has never been used in a sane manner,
and no one understands what this does exactly. The current
implementation looks also buggy because it allows write of shorter size
than xfer_align. So, if you do partial writes, the write isn't actually
aligned at all.
Removing this parameter will make some pcm_lib_* code more readable
(and less buggy).

At the block level bidi request uses req->next_rq pointer for a second
bidi_read request.
At Scsi-midlayer a second scsi_data_buffer structure is used for the
bidi_read part. This bidi scsi_data_buffer is put on
request->next_rq->special. Struct scsi_cmnd is not changed.
- Define scsi_bidi_cmnd() to return true if it is a bidi request and a
second sgtable was allocated.
- Define scsi_in()/scsi_out() to return the in or out scsi_data_buffer
from this command This API is to isolate users from the mechanics of
bidi.
- Define scsi_end_bidi_request() to do what scsi_end_request() does but
for a bidi request. This is necessary because bidi commands are a bit
tricky here. (See comments in body)
- scsi_release_buffers() will also release the bidi_read scsi_data_buffer
- scsi_io_completion() on bidi commands will now call
scsi_end_bidi_request() and return.
- The previous work done in scsi_init_io() is now done in a new
scsi_init_sgtable() (which is 99% identical to old scsi_init_io())
The new scsi_init_io() will call the above twice if needed also for
the bidi_read command. Only at this point is a command bidi.
- In scsi_error.c at scsi_eh_prep/restore_cmnd() make sure bidi-lld is not
confused by a get-sense command that looks like bidi. This is done
by puting NULL at request->next_rq, and restoring.

When executing a test program called "crashme", we found the KVM guest cannot
survive more than ten seconds, then encounterd kernel panic. The basic concept
of "crashme" is generating random assembly code and trying to execute it.
After some fixes on emulator insn validity judgment, we found it's hard to
get the current emulator handle the invalid instructions correctly, for the
#UD trap for hypercall patching caused troubles. The problem is, if the opcode
itself was OK, but combination of opcode and modrm_reg was invalid, and one
operand of the opcode was memory (SrcMem or DstMem), the emulator will fetch
the memory operand first rather than checking the validity, and may encounter
an error there. For example, ".byte 0xfe, 0x34, 0xcd" has this problem.
In the patch, we simply check that if the invalid opcode wasn't vmcall/vmmcall,
then return from emulate_instruction() and inject a #UD to guest. With the
patch, the guest had been running for more than 12 hours.

The current cpuid management suffers from several problems, which inhibit
passing through the host feature set to the guest:
- No way to tell which features the host supports
While some features can be supported with no changes to kvm, others
need explicit support. That means kvm needs to vet the feature set
before it is passed to the guest.
- No support for indexed or stateful cpuid entries
Some cpuid entries depend on ecx as well as on eax, or on internal
state in the processor (running cpuid multiple times with the same
input returns different output). The current cpuid machinery only
supports keying on eax.
- No support for save/restore/migrate
The internal state above needs to be exposed to userspace so it can
be saved or migrated.
This patch adds extended cpuid support by means of three new ioctls:
- KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID: get all cpuid entries the host (and kvm)
supports
- KVM_SET_CPUID2: sets the vcpu's cpuid table
- KVM_GET_CPUID2: gets the vcpu's cpuid table, including hidden state

This patch refactors the current hypercall infrastructure to better
support live migration and SMP. It eliminates the hypercall page by
trapping the UD exception that would occur if you used the wrong hypercall
instruction for the underlying architecture and replacing it with the right
one lazily.
A fall-out of this patch is that the unhandled hypercalls no longer trap to
userspace. There is very little reason though to use a hypercall to
communicate with userspace as PIO or MMIO can be used. There is no code
in tree that uses userspace hypercalls.

PAE mode requires that we reload cr3 in order to guarantee that
changes to the pgd will be noticed by the processor. This means that
in principle pud_clear needs to reload cr3 every time. However,
because reloading cr3 implies a tlb flush, we want to avoid it where
possible.
pud_clear() is only used in a couple of places:
- in free_pmd_range(), when pulling down a range of process address space, and
- huge_pmd_unshare()
In both cases, the calling code will do a a tlb flush anyway, so
there's no need to do it within pud_clear().
In free_pmd_range(), the pud_clear is immediately followed by
pmd_free_tlb(); we can hook that to make the mmu_gather do an
unconditional full flush to make sure cr3 gets reloaded.
In huge_pmd_unshare, it is followed by flush_tlb_range, which always
results in a full cr3-reload tlb flush.

to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and

like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.
If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.
With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.
In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.
An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.
A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt
and I've put a copy online at
ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt
It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it

In x86 PAE mode, stop treating pmds as a special case. Previously
they were always allocated and freed with the pgd. The modifies the
code to be the same as 64-bit mode, where they are allocated on
demand.
This is a step on the way to unifying 32/64-bit pagetable allocation
as much as possible.
There is a complicating wart, however. When you install a new
reference to a pmd in the pgd, the processor isn't guaranteed to see
it unless you reload cr3. Since reloading cr3 also has the
side-effect of flushing the tlb, this is an expense that we want to
avoid whereever possible.
This patch simply avoids reloading cr3 unless the update is to the
current pagetable. Later patches will optimise this further.

Yes! A mere 120 c_p_a() fixing and rewriting patches later,
we are now confident that we can enable UC by default for
ioremap(), on x86 too.
Every other architectures was doing this already. Doing so
makes Linux more robust against MTRR mixups (which might go
unnoticed if BIOS writers test other OSs only - where PAT
might override bad MTRRs defaults).

Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd.
I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly
exception table sorting stuff.
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option
as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/
once that patch gets merged into mainline.
(I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll
wait with that until init.c is unified)
As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h
for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.

Right now, if drivers or other code want to change, say, a cache attribute of a
page, the only API they have is change_page_attr(). c-p-a is a really bad API
for this, because it forces the caller to know *ALL* the attributes he wants
for the page, not just the 1 thing he wants to change. So code that wants to
set a page uncachable, needs to be aware of the NX status as well etc etc etc.
This patch introduces a set of new APIs for this, set_pages_<attr> and
set_memory_<attr>, that offer a logical change to the user, and leave all
attributes not implied by the requested logical change alone.

get more testing of the c_p_a() code done by not turning off
PSE on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
this simplifies the early pagetable setup code, and tests
the largepage-splitup code quite heavily.
In the end, all the largepages will be split up pretty quickly,
so there's no difference to how DEBUG_PAGEALLOC worked before.

This patch fixes some bugs of making EFI runtime code executable.
- Use change_page_attr in i386 too. Because the runtime code may be
mapped not through ioremap.
- If there is no _PAGE_NX in __supported_pte_mask, the change_page_attr
is not called.
- Make efi_ioremap map pages as PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC_NOCACHE, because EFI runtime
code may be mapped through efi_ioremap.

The SMP trampoline always runs in real mode, so making it executable
in the page tables doesn't make much sense because it executes
before page tables are set up. That was the only user of
set_kernel_exec(). Remove set_kernel_exec().

The pte_* modifier functions that cleared bits dropped the NX bit on 32bit
PAE because they only worked in int, but NX is in bit 63. Fix that
by adding appropiate casts so that the arithmetic happens as long long
on PAE kernels.
I decided to just use 64bit arithmetic instead of open coding like
pte_modify() because gcc should generate good enough code for that now.
