commit 83a35114d0e4583e6b0ca39502e68b6a92e2910c upstream.

This bug has been there since day 1; addresses in the top guest physical
page weren't considered valid.  You could map that page (the check in
check_gpte() is correct), but if a guest tried to put a pagetable there
we'd check that address manually when walking it, and kill the guest.

<title>x86, flags: Rename X86_EFLAGS_BIT1 to X86_EFLAGS_FIXED</title>

commit 1adfa76a95fe4444124a502f7cc858a39d5b8e01 upstream.

Bit 1 in the x86 EFLAGS is always set.  Name the macro something that
actually tries to explain what it is all about, rather than being a
tautology.

<title>lguest: clear cached last cpu when guest_set_pgd() called.</title>

commit v3.9-rc1-53-g6d0cda9 "lguest: cache last cpu we ran on." missed
one case, which causes a triple fault.  The guest calls guest_set_pgd()
on the top page, and we carefully remap the Switcher text page.  But
we didn't reset last_host_cpu, so map_switcher_in_guest() thinks
the guest's regs and IDT/GDT etc are already mapped.

Pull virtio &amp; lguest updates from Rusty Russell:
 "Lots of virtio work which wasn't quite ready for last merge window.

  Plus I dived into lguest again, reworking the pagetable code so we can
  move the switcher page: our fixmaps sometimes take more than 2MB now..."

Ugh.  Annoying conflicts with the tcm_vhost -&gt; vhost_scsi rename.
Hopefully correctly resolved.

Now we've adjusted all the code, we can simply set switcher_addr to
wherever it needs to go below the fixmaps, rather than asserting that
it should be so.

With large NR_CPUS and PAE, people were hitting the "mapping switcher
would thwack fixmap" message.

It's always to same, so no need to put in the PTE every time we're
about to run.  Keep a flag to track whether the pagetable has the
Switcher entries allocated, and when allocating always initialize the
Switcher text PTE.

We currently use the whole top PGD entry for the switcher, so we
simply share a fixed page of PTEs between all guests (actually, it's
one per Host CPU, to ensure isolation between guests).

Changes to a scheme where every guest has its own mappings.
