Subject: [PATCH 0/6] WIP.x86/mm fixes
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2017 22:29:40 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1512109321.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
This is a bit oddly formatted, since it's meant to by a set of changes
to a tree, not a normal patch set.
"x86/orc: Don't bail on stack overflow" is a fixed version of
"x86/unwinder/orc: Don't bail on stack overflow". If you'd rather
just manually patch it, change "regs->sp" to "state->sp". Bug noticed
by Dan Carpenter.
Patch 2 is a bugfix that prevents a potential KVM explosion. The
original patch failed to update KVM. Thanks, KVM, for having a
separate copy of everything related to CPU state.
Patch 3 is another bugfix that prevents a potential KVM explosion
once the rest of KAISER is patched in. (I haven't tested, but I imagine
we'd blow up horribly on the first interrupt from user mode after a
VM exit.)
Patch 4 fixes a *huge* performance regression. Well, not as huge as
KAISER, but still huge. It turns out that pushq; retq is very, very
slow.
Patch 5 fixes a potential bug. Thomas, I think you said you had a fix
on top of this fix. If you want my help, let me know.
Patch 6 is new. It makes the TSS remap RO on 64-bit kernels.
