2011-12-26KVM: Don't automatically expose the TSC deadline timer in cpuidJan Kiszka
Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants. This is broken in several ways: - if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break - live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet; breaking it - guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail. Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace. Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID. Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature.

2011-12-25KVM: Device assignment permission checksAlex Williamson
Only allow KVM device assignment to attach to devices which: - Are not bridges - Have BAR resources (assume others are special devices) - The user has permissions to use Assigning a bridge is a configuration error, it's not supported, and typically doesn't result in the behavior the user is expecting anyway. Devices without BAR resources are typically chipset components that also don't have host drivers. We don't want users to hold such devices captive or cause system problems by fencing them off into an iommu domain. We determine "permission to use" by testing whether the user has access to the PCI sysfs resource files. By default a normal user will not have access to these files, so it provides a good indication that an administration agent has granted the user access to the device.

2011-12-22Partial revert "Basic kernel memory functionality for the Memory Controller"Glauber Costa
This reverts commit e5671dfae59b165e2adfd4dfbdeab11ac8db5bda. After a follow up discussion with Michal, it was agreed it would be better to leave the kmem controller with just the tcp files, deferring the behavior of the other general memory.kmem.* files for a later time, when more caches are controlled. This is because generic kmem files are not used by tcp accounting and it is not clear how other slab caches would fit into the scheme. We are reverting the original commit so we can track the reference. Part of the patch is kept, because it was used by the later tcp code. Conflicts are shown in the bottom. init/Kconfig is removed from the revert entirely. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> CC: Kirill A.

2011-12-23md: create externally visible flags for supporting hot-replace.NeilBrown
hot-replace is a feature being added to md which will allow a device to be replaced without removing it from the array first. With hot-replace a spare can be activated and recovery can start while the original device is still in place, thus allowing a transition from an unreliable device to a reliable device without leaving the array degraded during the transition. It can also be use when the original device is still reliable but it not wanted for some reason. This will eventually be supported in RAID4/5/6 and RAID10. This patch adds a super-block flag to distinguish the replacement device. If an old kernel sees this flag it will reject the device. It also adds two per-device flags which are viewable and settable via sysfs. "want_replacement" can be set to request that a device be replaced. "replacement" is set to show that this device is replacing another device. The "rd%d" links in /sys/block/mdXx/md only apply to the original device, not the replacement. We currently don't make links for the replacement - there doesn't seem to be a need. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2011-12-21PM: Run the driver callback directly if the subsystem one is not thereRafael J. Wysocki
Make the PM core execute driver PM callbacks directly if the corresponding subsystem callbacks are not present. There are three reasons for doing that. First, it reflects the behavior of drivers/base/dd.c:really_probe() that runs the driver's .probe() callback directly if the bus type's one is not defined, so this change will remove one arbitrary difference between the PM core and the remaining parts of the driver core. Second, it will allow some subsystems, whose PM callbacks don't do anything except for executing driver callbacks, to be simplified quite a bit by removing those "forward-only" callbacks. Finally, it will allow us to remove one level of indirection in the system suspend and resume code paths where it is not necessary, which is going to lead to less debug noise with initcall_debug passed in the kernel command line (messages won't be printed for driverless devices whose subsystems don't provide PM callbacks among other things).
