Both process_zones() and drain_node_pages() check for populated zones
before touching pagesets. However, __drain_pages does not do so,
This may result in a NULL pointer dereference for pagesets in unpopulated
zones if a NUMA setup is combined with cpu hotplug.
Initially the unpopulated zone has the pcp pointers pointing to the boot
pagesets. Since the zone is not populated the boot pageset pointers will
not be changed during page allocator and slab bootstrap.
If a cpu is later brought down (first call to __drain_pages()) then the pcp
pointers for cpus in unpopulated zones are set to NULL since __drain_pages
does not first check for an unpopulated zone.
If the cpu is then brought up again then we call process_zones() which will
ignore the unpopulated zone. So the pageset pointers will still be NULL.
If the cpu is then again brought down then __drain_pages will attempt to
drain pages by following the NULL pageset pointer for unpopulated zones.

The HPT37x driver very carefully handles DMA completions and the needed
fixups are done on pci registers 0x50 and 0x52. This is unfortunate
because the actual registers are 0x50 and 0x54. Fixing this offset cures
the second channel problems reported.
Secondly there are some problems with the HPT370 and certain ATA drives.
The filter code however only filters ATAPI devices due to a reversed type
check.

If we reduce permissions on a pte, we must flush the cached copy of the pte

The mmu sometimes needs memory for reverse mapping and parent pte chains.
however, we can't allocate from within the mmu because of the atomic context.
So, move the allocations to a central place that can be executed before the

Define a hashtable for caching shadow page tables. Look up the cache on
context switch (cr3 change) or during page faults.
The key to the cache is a combination of
- the guest page table frame number
- the number of paging levels in the guest
* we can cache real mode, 32-bit mode, pae, and long mode page
tables simultaneously. this is useful for smp bootup.
- the guest page table table
* some kernels use a page as both a page table and a page directory. this
allows multiple shadow pages to exist for that page, one per level
- the "quadrant"
* 32-bit mode page tables span 4MB, whereas a shadow page table spans
2MB. similarly, a 32-bit page directory spans 4GB, while a shadow
page directory spans 1GB. the quadrant allows caching up to 4 shadow page
tables for one guest page in one level.
- a "metaphysical" bit
* for real mode, and for pse pages, there is no guest page table, so set
the bit to avoid write protecting the page.

Keep in each host page frame's page->private a pointer to the shadow pte which
maps it. If there are multiple shadow ptes mapping the page, set bit 0 of
page->private, and use the rest as a pointer to a linked list of all such

Reverse mappings are needed because we when we cache shadow page tables, we

Hardware virtualization implementations allow the guests to freely change some
of the bits in cr0 and cr4, but trap when changing the other bits. This is
useful to avoid excessive exits due to changing, for example, the ts flag.
It also means the kvm's copy of cr0 and cr4 may be stale with respect to these
bits. most of the time this doesn't matter as these bits are not very
interesting. Other times, however (for example when returning cr0 to
userspace), they are, so get the fresh contents of these bits from the guest
by means of a new arch operation.

Bugfixes:
- Handle RTCs which are configured to use 12-hour mode.
- Never report bogus/un-initialized times.
- Displaying "raw trim" requires not masking it first!
- Fix the sysfs and procfs display of crystal and trim data.
Features:
- Handle other RTCs in this family, notably rv5c386/rv5c387.
- Declare the other registers.
- Provide alarm get/set functionality.
- Handle AIE and UIE; but no IRQ handling yet.
Cleanup:
- Shrink object by not including needless sysfs or procfs support
- We don't need no steenkin' forward declarations. (Except one.)
Until the I2C framework merges "new style" driver support, matching
the driver model better, using rv5c chips or alarm IRQs requires a
separate board-specific patch. (And an IRQ handler, handing off labor
through a work_struct...)
This uses the "method 3" register reads, but notes that it's done
to work around an evident i2c adapter driver bug.

CVE-2006-5753 is for a case where an inode can be marked bad, switching
the ops to bad_inode_ops, which are all connected as:
static int return_EIO(void)
{
return -EIO;
}
#define EIO_ERROR ((void *) (return_EIO))
static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
.create = bad_inode_create
...etc...
The problem here is that the void cast causes return types to not be
promoted, and for ops such as listxattr which expect more than 32 bits of
return value, the 32-bit -EIO is interpreted as a large positive 64-bit
number, i.e. 0x00000000fffffffa instead of 0xfffffffa.
This goes particularly badly when the return value is taken as a number of
bytes to copy into, say, a user's buffer for example...
I originally had coded up the fix by creating a return_EIO_<TYPE> macro
for each return type, like this:
static int return_EIO_int(void)
{
return -EIO;
}
#define EIO_ERROR_INT ((void *) (return_EIO_int))
static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
.create = EIO_ERROR_INT,
...etc...
but Al felt that it was probably better to create an EIO-returner for each
actual op signature. Since so few ops share a signature, I just went ahead
& created an EIO function for each individual file & inode op that returns
a value.
