Impact: simplification In the current code, for level triggered migration, we need to modify the io-apic RTE with the update vector information, along with modifying interrupt remapping table entry(IRTE) with vector and destination. This is to ensure that remote IRR bit inthe IOAPIC RTE gets cleared when the cpu does EOI. With this patch, for level triggered, we eliminate the io-apic RTE modification (with the updated vector information), by using a virtual vector (io-apic pin number). Real vector that is used for interrupting cpu will be coming from the interrupt-remapping table entry. Trigger mode in the IRTE will always be edge, and the actual level or edge trigger will be setup in the IO-APIC RTE. So a level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC. With this change, level irq migration can be done by simply modifying the interrupt-remapping table entry with out changing the io-apic RTE. And as the interrupt appears as edge at the cpu, in addition to do the local apic EOI, we need to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE. This simplies the irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping. Idea-by: Rajesh Sankaran <rajesh.sankaran@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W.

Impact: make kexec work with x2apic disable_IO_APIC() gets called during crashdump aswell, which configures the IO-APIC/LAPIC so that legacy interrupts can be delivered for the kexec'd kernel. In the presence of interrupt-remapping, we need to change the interrupt-remapping configuration aswell as modifying IO-APIC for virtual wire B mode. To keep things simple during the crash, use virtual wire A mode (for which we don't need to touch io-apic and interrupt-remapping tables).

Guennadi Liakhovetski noticed that the end condition for the loop in bitmap_find_free_region() is wrong, and the "return if error" was also using the wrong conditional that would only trigger if the bitmap was an exact multiple of the allocation size, which is not necessarily the case with dma_alloc_from_coherent(). Such a failure would end up in bitmap_find_free_region() accessing beyond the end of the bitmap.

Impact: fix crashes under Xen due to unrobust e820 code find_e820_area_size() must return a properly distinguishable and out-of-bounds value when it fails, and -1UL does not meet that criteria on i386/PAE. Additionally, callers of the function must check against that value. early_reserve_e820() should be prepared for the region found to be outside of the addressable range on 32-bits. e820_update_range_map() should not blindly update e820, but should do all it work on the map it got a pointer passed for (which in 50% of the cases is &e820_saved). It must also not call e820_add_region(), as that again acts on e820 unconditionally. The issues were found when trying to make this option work in our Xen kernel (i.e. where some of the silent assumptions made in the code would not hold).

STag zero is a special STag that allows consumers to access any bus address without registering memory. The nes driver unfortunately allows STag zero to be used even with QPs created by unprivileged userspace consumers, which means that any process with direct verbs access to the nes device can read and write any memory accessible to the underlying PCI device (usually any memory in the system). Such access is usually given for cluster software such as MPI to use, so this is a local privilege escalation bug on most systems running this driver. The driver was using STag zero to receive the last streaming mode data; to allow STag zero to be disabled for unprivileged QPs, the driver now registers a special MR for this data.
