Subject: [PATCH 3.14 39/39] x86/espfix/xen: Fix allocation of pages for paravirt page tables
Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2014 11:14:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140805181337.218770741@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140805181336.030349158@linuxfoundation.org>
3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com>
commit 8762e5092828c4dc0f49da5a47a644c670df77f3 upstream.
init_espfix_ap() is currently off by one level when informing hypervisor
that allocated pages will be used for ministacks' page tables.
The most immediate effect of this on a PV guest is that if
'stack_page = __get_free_page()' returns a non-zeroed-out page the hypervisor
will refuse to use it for a page table (which it shouldn't be anyway). This will
result in warnings by both Xen and Linux.
More importantly, a subsequent write to that page (again, by a PV guest) is
likely to result in fatal page fault.
