Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

show_ldttss() shifts desc.base2 by 24 bit, but base2 is 8 bits of a
bitfield in a u16.
Due to the really great idea of integer promotion in C99 base2 is promoted
to an int, because that's the standard defined behaviour when all values
which can be represented by base2 fit into an int.
Now if bit 7 is set in desc.base2 the result of the shift left by 24 makes
the resulting integer negative and the following conversion to unsigned
long legitmately sign extends first causing the upper bits 32 bits to be
set in the result.
Fix this by casting desc.base2 to unsigned long before the shift.

In some old AMD KVM implementation, guest's EFER.LME bit is cleared by KVM
when the hypervsior detects that the guest sets CR0.PG to 0. This causes
the guest OS to reboot when it tries to return from 32-bit trampoline code
because the CPU is in incorrect state: CR4.PAE=1, CR0.PG=1, CS.L=1, but
EFER.LME=0. As a precaution, set EFER.LME=1 as part of long mode
activation procedure. This extra step won't cause any harm when Linux is
booted on a bare-metal machine.

While in the native case entry into the kernel happens on the trampoline
stack, PV Xen kernels get entered with the current thread stack right
away. Hence source and destination stacks are identical in that case,
and special care is needed.
Other than in sync_regs() the copying done on the INT80 path isn't
NMI / #MC safe, as either of these events occurring in the middle of the
stack copying would clobber data on the (source) stack.
There is similar code in interrupt_entry() and nmi(), but there is no fixup
required because those code paths are unreachable in XEN PV guests.

Commit
b6664ba42f14 ("s390, kexec_file: drop arch_kexec_mem_walk()")
changed the behavior of kexec_locate_mem_hole(): it will try to allocate
free memory only when kbuf.mem is initialized to zero.
However, x86's kexec_file_load() implementation reuses a struct
kexec_buf allocated on the stack and its kbuf.mem member gets set by
each kexec_add_buffer() invocation.
The second kexec_add_buffer() will reuse the same kbuf but not
reinitialize kbuf.mem.
Therefore, explictily reset kbuf.mem each time in order for
kexec_locate_mem_hole() to locate a free memory region each time.

Using sizeof(pointer) for determining the size of a memset() only works
when the size of the pointer and the size of type to which it points are
the same. For pte_t this is only true for 64bit and 32bit-NONPAE. On 32bit
PAE systems this is wrong as the pointer size is 4 byte but the PTE entry
is 8 bytes. It's actually not a real world issue as this code depends on
64bit, but it's wrong nevertheless.
Use sizeof(*p) for correctness sake.

There was a bug where the per-mm pkey state was not being preserved across
fork() in the child. fork() is performed in the pkey selftests, but all of
the pkey activity is performed in the parent. The child does not perform
any actions sensitive to pkey state.
To make the test more sensitive to these kinds of bugs, add a fork() where
the parent exits, and execution continues in the child.
To achieve this let the key exhaustion test not terminate at the first
allocation failure and fork after 2*NR_PKEYS loops and continue in the
child.

Memory protection key behavior should be the same in a child as it was
in the parent before a fork. But, there is a bug that resets the
state in the child at fork instead of preserving it.
The creation of new mm's is a bit convoluted. At fork(), the code
does:
1. memcpy() the parent mm to initialize child
2. mm_init() to initalize some select stuff stuff
3. dup_mmap() to create true copies that memcpy() did not do right
For pkeys two bits of state need to be preserved across a fork:
'execute_only_pkey' and 'pkey_allocation_map'.
Those are preserved by the memcpy(), but mm_init() invokes
init_new_context() which overwrites 'execute_only_pkey' and
'pkey_allocation_map' with "new" values.
The author of the code erroneously believed that init_new_context is *only*
called at execve()-time. But, alas, init_new_context() is used at execve()
and fork().
The result is that, after a fork(), the child's pkey state ends up looking
like it does after an execve(), which is totally wrong. pkeys that are
already allocated can be allocated again, for instance.
To fix this, add code called by dup_mmap() to copy the pkey state from
parent to child explicitly. Also add a comment above init_new_context() to
make it more clear to the next poor sod what this code is used for.

CONFIG_RESCTRL is too generic. The final goal is to have a generic
option called like this which is selected by the arch-specific ones
CONFIG_X86_RESCTRL and CONFIG_ARM64_RESCTRL. The generic one will
cover the resctrl filesystem and other generic and shared bits of
functionality.
