KVM guest: prevent tracing recursion with kvmclock

KVM: VMX: Check for automatic switch msr table overflow

KVM: s390: Fix RUNNING flag misinterpretation

KVM on s390 always had a sync mmu. Any mapping change in userspace
mapping was always reflected immediately in the guest mapping.
- In older code the guest mapping was just an offset
- In newer code the last level page table is shared

There is a potential host deadlock in the tprot intercept handling.
We must not hold the mmap semaphore while resolving the guest
address. If userspace is remapping, then the memory detection in
the guest is broken anyway so we can safely separate the
address translation from walking the vmas.

CPUSTAT_RUNNING was implemented signifying that a vcpu is not stopped.
This is not, however, what the architecture says: RUNNING should be
set when the host is acting on the behalf of the guest operating
system.
CPUSTAT_RUNNING has been changed to be set in kvm_arch_vcpu_load()
and to be unset in kvm_arch_vcpu_put().
For signifying stopped state of a vcpu, a host-controlled bit has
been used and is set/unset basically on the reverse as the old
CPUSTAT_RUNNING bit (including pushing it down into stop handling
proper in handle_stop()).

'readelf -n' on the s390 vmlinux file generates lots of warnings about
corrupt notes. The reason is that the 'NOTE' program header has incorrect
file and memory sizes. The problem is that the section following the
NOTES section do not switch to a different phdr and they get added to
the NOTE program section. Add a dummy entry to the linker script that
switches to the data phdr before the start of the RODATA section.

Currently it can happen that the pre-allocated ELF header contains a wrong

In order to still get a valid vmcore, we (temporarily) disable the error

gmap_fault needs to walk the guest page table. However, parts of
that may change if some other thread does munmap. In that case
gmap_unmap_notifier will also unmap the corresponding parts from
the guest page table. We need to take mmap_sem in order to serialize

do_exception now calls __gmap_fault with mmap_sem held which does

The user space program can change its addressing mode between the
24-bit, 31-bit and the 64-bit mode if the kernel is 64 bit. Currently
the kernel always forces the standard amode on signal delivery and
signal return and on ptrace: 64-bit for a 64-bit process, 31-bit for
a compat process and 31-bit kernels. Change the signal and ptrace code
to allow the full range of addressing modes. Signal handlers are
run in the standard addressing mode for the process.
One caveat is that even an 31-bit compat process can switch to the
64-bit mode. The next signal will switch back into the 31-bit mode
and there is no room in the 31-bit compat signal frame to store the
information that the program came from the 64-bit mode.

For a ERESTARTNOHAND/ERESTARTSYS/ERESTARTNOINTR restarting system call
do_signal will prepare the restart of the system call with a rewind of
the PSW before calling get_signal_to_deliver (where the debugger might
take control). For A ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK restarting system call
do_signal will set -EINTR as return code.
There are two issues with this approach:
1) strace never sees ERESTARTNOHAND, ERESTARTSYS, ERESTARTNOINTR or
ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK as the rewinding already took place or the
return code has been changed to -EINTR
2) if get_signal_to_deliver does not return with a signal to deliver
the restart via the repeat of the svc instruction is left in place.
This opens a race if another signal is made pending before the
system call instruction can be reexecuted. The original system call
will be restarted even if the second signal would have ended the
system call with -EINTR.
These two issues can be solved by dropping the early rewind of the
system call before get_signal_to_deliver has been called and by using
the TIF_RESTART_SVC magic to do the restart if no signal has to be
delivered. The only situation where the system call restart via the
repeat of the svc instruction is appropriate is when a SA_RESTART
signal is delivered to user space.
Unfortunately this breaks inferior calls by the debugger again. The
system call number and the length of the system call instruction is
lost over the inferior call and user space will see ERESTARTNOHAND/
ERESTARTSYS/ERESTARTNOINTR/ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK. To correct this a
new ptrace interface is added to save/restore the system call number
and system call instruction length.
