      KVM: Enable pvspinlock after jump_label_init() to avoid VM hang · 3dbef3e3
      Raghavendra K T authored
      We use jump label to enable pv-spinlock. With the changes in (442e0973
      Merge branch 'x86/jumplabel'), the jump label behaviour has changed
      that would result in eventual hang of the VM since we would end up in a
      situation where slow path locks would halt the vcpus but we will not be
      able to wakeup the vcpu by lock releaser using unlock kick.
      
      Similar problem in Xen and more detailed description is available in
      a945928e
      
       (xen: Do not enable spinlocks before jump_label_init()
      has executed)
      
      This patch splits kvm_spinlock_init to separate jump label changes with
      pvops patching and also make jump label enabling after jump_label_init().

      AKASHI Takahiro authored
      
      
      In ftrace_syscall_enter(),
          syscall_get_arguments(..., 0, n, ...)
              if (i == 0) { <handle ORIG_r0> ...; n--;}
              memcpy(..., n * sizeof(args[0]));
      If 'number of arguments(n)' is zero and 'argument index(i)' is also zero in
      syscall_get_arguments(), none of arguments should be copied by memcpy().
      Otherwise 'n--' can be a big positive number and unexpected amount of data
      will be copied. Tracing system calls which take no argument, say sync(void),
      may hit this case and eventually make the system corrupted.
      This patch fixes the issue both in syscall_get_arguments() and
      syscall_set_arguments().

      THis is because the Exynos u-boot, for example on the Chromebooks, doesn't set
      up the CNTFRQ register as expected by arch_timer. Instead, we have to specify
      the frequency in the device tree like this.

      ARC: Ignore ptrace SETREGSET request for synthetic register "stop_pc" · 5b242828
      Vineet Gupta authored
      
      
      ARCompact TRAP_S insn used for breakpoints, commits before exception is
      taken (updating architectural PC). So ptregs->ret contains next-PC and
      not the breakpoint PC itself. This is different from other restartable
      exceptions such as TLB Miss where ptregs->ret has exact faulting PC.
      gdb needs to know exact-PC hence ARC ptrace GETREGSET provides for
      @stop_pc which returns ptregs->ret vs. EFA depending on the
      situation.
      
      However, writing stop_pc (SETREGSET request), which updates ptregs->ret
      doesn't makes sense stop_pc doesn't always correspond to that reg as
      described above.
      
      This was not an issue so far since user_regs->ret / user_regs->stop_pc
      had same value and both writing to ptregs->ret was OK, needless, but NOT
      broken, hence not observed.
      
      With gdb "jump", they diverge, and user_regs->ret updating ptregs is
      overwritten immediately with stop_pc, which this patch fixes.
