Subject: [ 12/25] x86/espfix/xen: Fix allocation of pages for paravirt page tables
Date: Sat, 06 Dec 2014 18:42:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141206174148.937343557@1wt.eu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2a26e912d2438674771c36169c190830@local>

2.6.32-longterm 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.
