The do_gettimeofday() helper was removed by commit e4b92b108c6c
("timekeeping: remove obsolete time accessors") in v5.0-rc1 and since
commit c766d1472c70 ("y2038: hide timeval/timespec/itimerval/itimerspec
types") in v5.6-rc3, struct timeval should no longer be used in kernel
code.
Convert the do_gettimeofday() relics in VNetBridge (which are only compiled
with LOGLEVEL >= 4) completely to ktime based interface.
Commit 11c5ad0ec441 ("eventpoll: switch to ->poll_mask") in v4.18-rc1, made
eventpoll switch from ->poll() to ->poll_mask(), resulting in a null
pointer dereference as vmmon calls the callback directly without checking
its availability.
Rather than calling the callback directly (which would result in null
pointer dereference), use vfs_poll() wrapper. As this wrapper is only
available since 4.18-rc1 cycle as well, provide a copy to use when building
against older kernels.
Note: even if the commit revealing the problem was reverted in 4.18-rc3
(and is unlikely to go back in the same form) so that vmmon no longer
crashes with 4.18 kernel, calling the callback without a check is a bad
practice so let's keep the patch in place.
Function declared with __attribute__((always_inline)) should also be
declared as inline, otherwise gcc issues a warning "always_inline function
might not be inlinable". It's just cosmetic but getting rid of known
harmless warnings makes it easier to spot actual problems. Use the
__always_inline macro for LinuxDriverSyncReadTSCs() as this is how always
inline functions should be declared in kernel code.
The MSR_K7_HWCR_SMMLOCK macro is defined in mainline since commit
18c71ce9c882 ("x86/CPU/AMD: Add the Secure Encrypted Virtualization CPU
feature") in v4.16-rc1.
Remove .cache.mk inside vmmon-only and vmnet-only when executing
"make clean". This file can cause issues when upgrading gcc as make will
still look for includes inside older gcc includes directory.
File .cache.mk with cache of generated variables was created by build since
kernel v4.15-rc1, commit 3298b690b21c ("kbuild: Add a cache for generated
variables") until the feature was removed in v4.18-rc1, commit e08d6de4e532
("kbuild: remove kbuild cache").
As discussed in
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059674
the reason for multiple objtool warnings is the fact that vmmon module
defines its own Panic() function which never returns. While it is marked as
such which is used by the compiler for optimization, there is no way to
find this from object file.
While this seems innocuous, it might result in problems with unwinder
later. The quickest way around is to replace vmmon's own Panic() with
standard kernel panic() until a cleaner solution is found.
The CR3_PCID_MASK is defined in mainline asm/processor-flags.h since
commit 6c690ee1039b ("x86/mm: Split read_cr3() into read_cr3_pa() and
__read_cr3()") in v4.13-rc1.
The MSR_MISC_FEATURES_ENABLES macro is defined in mainline since commit
ab6d9468631a ("x86/msr: Rename MISC_FEATURE_ENABLES to
MISC_FEATURES_ENABLES") in v4.12-rc1.
The MSR_MISC_FEATURES_ENABLES_CPUID_FAULT macro is defined in mainline
since commit e9ea1e7f53b8 ("x86/arch_prctl: Add ARCH_[GET|SET]_CPUID") in
v4.12-rc1.
When building against kernel 4.12 and newer, macro name GDT_SIZE used in
(vmmon) include/segs.h collides with macro defined in (kernel source)
arch/x86/include/asm/segment.h, resulting in its redefinition.
To prevent potential problems, rename vmmon's GDT_SIZE to VMMON_GDT_SIZE
and GDT_LIMIT to VMMON_GDT_LIMIT. (There is no GDT_LIMIT in mainline kernel
source but let's be consistent.)
The PCI_VENDOR_ID_VMWARE macro is defined in mainline pci_ids.h since
commit 94e57fea6202 ("PCI: Move PCI_VENDOR_ID_VMWARE to pci_ids.h")
in v3.18-rc1.
Both the version check for include of <linux/frame.h> in common/crosspage.c
and the comment explaining it are wrong for multiple reasons:
1. <linux/frame.h> was introduced in v4.6-rc1, not v4.5-rc5
2. ANNOTATE_INTRA_FUNCTION_CALL was introduced in v5.8-rc1, not v5.7
3. Even if it were, the check should use ">=", not ">"
4. Most important, the code in fact needs STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD
Without the definition of STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD, build against vanilla
5.7 kernel fails on objtool error (but succeeds against 5.7.1, because of
the mistake from point 3).
Change the check from "> 5.7" to ">= 4.6" to get STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD
whenever available and update the explaining comment.
If VMX86_DEVEL macro is not defined, preprocessor warns when it is tested
with "#if" in vmmon-only/linux/driver.c. As VMX86_DEVEL is tested with
"#ifdef" everywhere else, change this one test to match the rest.
Makefiles in *-only copy the object file module is created from into the
parent directory but do not delete them on "make clean". Clean these files
up in "clean" target of top level makefile.
Add a top level makefile to make common tasks easier. Supported targets:
make - build modules
make install - install modules (honors DESTDIR)
make clean - clean up
make tarballs - create source tarballs from current HEAD
Note: "make tarballs" uses "git archive" so that it only works in a local
copy of the git repository, not in a directory created by unpacking
a tarball.
Add *.tar to .gitignore to hide tarballs created by "make tarballs".
