- spring cleaning: removed support for IA64, and for hardware-assisted
virtualization on the PPC970
- ARM, PPC, s390 all had only small fixes
For x86:
- small performance improvements (though only on weird guests)
- usual round of hardware-compliancy fixes from Nadav
- APICv fixes
- XSAVES support for hosts and guests. XSAVES hosts were broken because
the (non-KVM) XSAVES patches inadvertently changed the KVM userspace
ABI whenever XSAVES was enabled; hence, this part is going to stable.
Guest support is just a matter of exposing the feature and CPUID leaves

Right now KVM is broken for PPC BookE in your tree (doesn't compile).

Currently the H_CONFER hcall is implemented in kernel virtual mode,
meaning that whenever a guest thread does an H_CONFER, all the threads
in that virtual core have to exit the guest. This is bad for
performance because it interrupts the other threads even if they
are doing useful work.
The H_CONFER hcall is called by a guest VCPU when it is spinning on a
spinlock and it detects that the spinlock is held by a guest VCPU that
is currently not running on a physical CPU. The idea is to give this
VCPU's time slice to the holder VCPU so that it can make progress
towards releasing the lock.
To avoid having the other threads exit the guest unnecessarily,
we add a real-mode implementation of H_CONFER that checks whether
the other threads are doing anything. If all the other threads
are idle (i.e. in H_CEDE) or trying to confer (i.e. in H_CONFER),
it returns H_TOO_HARD which causes a guest exit and allows the
H_CONFER to be handled in virtual mode.
Otherwise it spins for a short time (up to 10 microseconds) to give
other threads the chance to observe that this thread is trying to
confer. The spin loop also terminates when any thread exits the guest
or when all other threads are idle or trying to confer. If the
timeout is reached, the H_CONFER returns H_SUCCESS. In this case the
guest VCPU will recheck the spinlock word and most likely call
H_CONFER again.
This also improves the implementation of the H_CONFER virtual mode
handler. If the VCPU is part of a virtual core (vcore) which is
runnable, there will be a 'runner' VCPU which has taken responsibility
for running the vcore. In this case we yield to the runner VCPU
rather than the target VCPU.
We also introduce a check on the target VCPU's yield count: if it
differs from the yield count passed to H_CONFER, the target VCPU
has run since H_CONFER was called and may have already released
the lock. This check is required by PAPR.

There are two ways in which a guest instruction can be obtained from
the guest in the guest exit code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S. If the
exit was caused by a Hypervisor Emulation interrupt (i.e. an illegal
instruction), the offending instruction is in the HEIR register
(Hypervisor Emulation Instruction Register). If the exit was caused
by a load or store to an emulated MMIO device, we load the instruction
from the guest by turning data relocation on and loading the instruction
with an lwz instruction.
Unfortunately, in the case where the guest has opposite endianness to
the host, these two methods give results of different endianness, but
both get put into vcpu->arch.last_inst. The HEIR value has been loaded
using guest endianness, whereas the lwz will load the instruction using
host endianness. The rest of the code that uses vcpu->arch.last_inst
assumes it was loaded using host endianness.
To fix this, we define a new vcpu field to store the HEIR value. Then,
in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), we transfer the value from this new field to
vcpu->arch.last_inst, doing a byte-swap if the guest and host endianness
differ.

This removes the code that was added to enable HV KVM to work
on PPC970 processors. The PPC970 is an old CPU that doesn't
support virtualizing guest memory. Removing PPC970 support also
lets us remove the code for allocating and managing contiguous
real-mode areas, the code for the !kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers
case, the code for pinning pages of guest memory when first
accessed and keeping track of which pages have been pinned, and
the code for handling H_ENTER hypercalls in virtual mode.
Book3S HV KVM is now supported only on POWER7 and POWER8 processors.
The KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA capability now always returns 0.

Currently the calculations of stolen time for PPC Book3S HV guests
uses fields in both the vcpu struct and the kvmppc_vcore struct. The
fields in the kvmppc_vcore struct are protected by the
vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock of the vcpu that has taken responsibility for
running the virtual core. This works correctly but confuses lockdep,
because it sees that the code takes the tbacct_lock for a vcpu in
kvmppc_remove_runnable() and then takes another vcpu's tbacct_lock in
vcore_stolen_time(), and it thinks there is a possibility of deadlock,
causing it to print reports like this:

an irq-safe lock.

This fixes some inaccuracies in the state machine for the virtualized
ICP when implementing the H_IPI hcall (Set_MFFR and related states):
1. The old code wipes out any pending interrupts when the new MFRR is
more favored than the CPPR but less favored than a pending
interrupt (by always modifying xisr and the pending_pri). This can
cause us to lose a pending external interrupt.
The correct code here is to only modify the pending_pri and xisr in
the ICP if the MFRR is equal to or more favored than the current
pending pri (since in this case, it is guaranteed that that there
cannot be a pending external interrupt). The code changes are
required in both kvmppc_rm_h_ipi and kvmppc_h_ipi.
2. Again, in both kvmppc_rm_h_ipi and kvmppc_h_ipi, there is a check
for whether MFRR is being made less favored AND further if new MFFR
is also less favored than the current CPPR, we check for any
resends pending in the ICP. These checks look like they are
designed to cover the case where if the MFRR is being made less
favored, we opportunistically trigger a resend of any interrupts
that had been previously rejected. Although, this is not a state
described by PAPR, this is an action we actually need to do
especially if the CPPR is already at 0xFF. Because in this case,
the resend bit will stay on until another ICP state change which
may be a long time coming and the interrupt stays pending until
then. The current code which checks for MFRR < CPPR is broken when
CPPR is 0xFF since it will not get triggered in that case.
Ideally, we would want to do a resend only if
prio(pending_interrupt) < mfrr && prio(pending_interrupt) < cppr
where pending interrupt is the one that was rejected. But we don't
have the priority of the pending interrupt state saved, so we
simply trigger a resend whenever the MFRR is made less favored.
3. In kvmppc_rm_h_ipi, where we save state to pass resends to the
virtual mode, we also need to save the ICP whose need_resend we
reset since this does not need to be my ICP (vcpu->arch.icp) as is
incorrectly assumed by the current code. A new field rm_resend_icp
is added to the kvmppc_icp structure for this purpose.

Testing with KSM active in the host showed occasional corruption of
guest memory. Typically a page that should have contained zeroes
would contain values that look like the contents of a user process
stack (values such as 0x0000_3fff_xxxx_xxx).
Code inspection in kvmppc_h_protect revealed that there was a race
condition with the possibility of granting write access to a page
which is read-only in the host page tables. The code attempts to keep
the host mapping read-only if the host userspace PTE is read-only, but
if that PTE had been temporarily made invalid for any reason, the
read-only check would not trigger and the host HPTE could end up
read-write. Examination of the guest HPT in the failure situation
revealed that there were indeed shared pages which should have been
read-only that were mapped read-write.
To close this race, we don't let a page go from being read-only to
being read-write, as far as the real HPTE mapping the page is
concerned (the guest view can go to read-write, but the actual mapping
stays read-only). When the guest tries to write to the page, we take
an HDSI and let kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault take care of providing a
writable HPTE for the page.
This eliminates the occasional corruption of shared pages
that was previously seen with KSM active.

The B (segment size) field in the RB operand for the tlbie
instruction is two bits, which we get from the top two bits of
the first doubleword of the HPT entry to be invalidated. These
bits go in bits 8 and 9 of the RB operand (bits 54 and 55 in IBM
bit numbering).
The compute_tlbie_rb() function gets these bits as v >> (62 - 8),
which is not correct as it will bring in the top 10 bits, not
just the top two. These extra bits could corrupt the AP, AVAL
and L fields in the RB value. To fix this we shift right 62 bits
and then shift left 8 bits, so we only get the two bits of the
B field.
The first doubleword of the HPT entry is under the control of the
guest kernel. In fact, Linux guests will always put zeroes in bits
54 -- 61 (IBM bits 2 -- 9), but we should not rely on guests doing
this.

When injecting an IRQ, we only document which IRQ priority (which translates

have all the numbers in your head to know which IRQ really is meant.
This patch converts the IRQ number field to a symbolic name that is in sync
with the respective define. That way it's a lot easier for readers to figure

Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime. So
introduce new kernel-parameter to disable debug-pagealloc in boottime, and
makes related functions to be disabled in this case.
Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions. Because guard
page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning off
according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.

...
There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and
wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers
and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be. For
example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync
instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed
is an lsync or eieio instruction.
This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers
rmb() and wmb(). In most cases this should result in the barrier being the
same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a
barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb(). For example on
ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows:
Barrier Call Explanation
--------- -------- ----------------------------------
rmb() dsb() Data synchronization barrier - system
dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable
smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable
These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb().
Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent
memories. The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of
reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the
CPU and a device.
It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb(). Most architectures don't
provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without
resorting to the same mechanism used in mb(). As such there isn't much to
be gained in trying to define such a function.

This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and
smp_read_barrier_depends. In multiple spots in the kernel headers
read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go
into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference
read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty
do/while.
With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions
and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header. In addition I
moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that
defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the
macro, alpha and blackfin.

Some nice cleanups like removing bootmem, and removal of __get_cpu_var().
There is one patch to mm/gup.c. This is the generic GUP implementation, but is
only used by us and arm(64). We have an ack from Steve Capper, and although we
didn't get an ack from Andrew he told us to take the patch through the powerpc
tree.
There's one cxl patch. This is in drivers/misc, but Greg said he was happy for
us to manage fixes for it.
There is an infrastructure patch to support an IPMI driver for OPAL. That patch
also appears in Corey Minyard's IPMI tree, you may see a conflict there.
There is also an RTC driver for OPAL. We weren't able to get any response from
the RTC maintainer, Alessandro Zummo, so in the end we just merged the driver.

Lots of activity in the devicetree code for v3.18. Most of it is related
to getting all of the overlay support code in place, but there are other
important things in there.
There are a few trivial merge conflicts. They shouldn't give you any
trouble.
Highlights:
- OF_RECONFIG notifiers for SPI, I2C and Platform devices. Those
subsystems can now respond to live changes to the device tree.
- CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY method for applying live changes to the device tree
- Removal of the of_allnodes list. This used to be used to iterate over
all the nodes in the device tree, but it is unnecessary because the
same thing can be done by iterating over the list of child pointers.
Getting rid of of_allnodes saves some memory and avoids the
possibility of of_allnodes being sorted differently from the child
lists.
- Support for retrieving original DTB blob via sysfs. Needed by kexec.
- More unittests
- Documentation and minor bug fixes

As a small zero page, huge zero page should not be accounted in smaps
report as normal page.
For small pages we rely on vm_normal_page() to filter out zero page, but
vm_normal_page() is not designed to handle pmds. We only get here due
hackish cast pmd to pte in smaps_pte_range() -- pte and pmd format is not
necessary compatible on each and every architecture.
Let's add separate codepath to handle pmds. follow_trans_huge_pmd() will
detect huge zero page for us.
We would need pmd_dirty() helper to do this properly. The patch adds it
to THP-enabled architectures which don't yet have one.

- iov_iter rewrite
- killing a bunch of ->f_path.dentry users (and f_dentry macro).
Getting that completed will make life much simpler for
unionmount/overlayfs, since then we'll be able to limit the places
sensitive to file _dentry_ to reasonably few. Which allows to have
file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry

Pull irq domain updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The real interesting irq updates:
- Support for hierarchical irq domains:
For complex interrupt routing scenarios where more than one
interrupt related chip is involved we had no proper representation
in the generic interrupt infrastructure so far. That made people
implement rather ugly constructs in their nested irq chip
implementations. The main offenders are x86 and arm/gic.
To distangle that mess we have now hierarchical irqdomains which
seperate the various interrupt chips and connect them via the
hierarchical domains. That keeps the domain specific details
internal to the particular hierarchy level and removes the
criss/cross referencing of chip internals. The resulting hierarchy
for a complex x86 system will look like this:
vector mapped: 74
msi-0 mapped: 2
dmar-ir-1 mapped: 69
ioapic-1 mapped: 4
ioapic-0 mapped: 20
pci-msi-2 mapped: 45
dmar-ir-0 mapped: 3
ioapic-2 mapped: 1
pci-msi-1 mapped: 2
htirq mapped: 0
Neither ioapic nor pci-msi know about the dmar interrupt remapping
between themself and the vector domain. If interrupt remapping is
disabled ioapic and pci-msi become direct childs of the vector
domain.
In hindsight we should have done that years ago, but in hindsight
we always know better :)
- Support for generic MSI interrupt domain handling
We have more and more non PCI related MSI interrupts, so providing
a generic infrastructure for this is better than having all
affected architectures implementing their own private hacks.
- Support for PCI-MSI interrupt domain handling, based on the generic
MSI support.
This part carries the pci/msi branch from Bjorn Helgaas pci tree to
avoid a massive conflict. The PCI/MSI parts are acked by Bjorn.
I have two more branches on top of this. The full conversion of x86
to hierarchical domains and a partial conversion of arm/gic"

While there normally is no reason to have a pull request for asm-generic
but have all changes get merged through whichever tree needs them, I do
have a series for 3.19. There are two sets of patches that change
significant portions of asm/io.h, and this branch contains both in order
to resolve the conflicts:
- Will Deacon has done a set of patches to ensure that all architectures
define {read,write}{b,w,l,q}_relaxed() functions or get them by
including asm-generic/io.h. These functions are commonly used on ARM
specific drivers to avoid expensive L2 cache synchronization implied by
the normal {read,write}{b,w,l,q}, but we need to define them on all
architectures in order to share the drivers across architectures and
to enable CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST configurations for them
- Thierry Reding has done an unrelated set of patches that extends
the asm-generic/io.h file to the degree necessary to make it useful
on ARM64 and potentially other architectures.

for the following merge window, but we should be able to do
those through the iommu maintainer.

When a secondary hardware thread has finished running a KVM guest, we
currently put that thread into nap mode using a nap instruction in
the KVM code. This changes the code so that instead of doing a nap
instruction directly, we instead cause the call to power7_nap() that
put the thread into nap mode to return. The reason for doing this is
to avoid having the KVM code having to know what low-power mode to
put the thread into.
In the case of a secondary thread used to run a KVM guest, the thread
will be offline from the point of view of the host kernel, and the
relevant power7_nap() call is the one in pnv_smp_cpu_disable().
In this case we don't want to clear pending IPIs in the offline loop
in that function, since that might cause us to miss the wakeup for
the next time the thread needs to run a guest. To tell whether or
not to clear the interrupt, we use the SRR1 value returned from
power7_nap(), and check if it indicates an external interrupt. We
arrange that the return from power7_nap() when we have finished running
a guest returns 0, so pending interrupts don't get flushed in that
case.
Note that it is important a secondary thread that has finished
executing in the guest, or that didn't have a guest to run, should
not return to power7_nap's caller while the kvm_hstate.hwthread_req
flag in the PACA is non-zero, because the return from power7_nap
will reenable the MMU, and the MMU might still be in guest context.
In this situation we spin at low priority in real mode waiting for
hwthread_req to become zero.

where prog_fd was received from syscall bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, attr, ...)
and attr->prog_type == BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER
setsockopt() calls bpf_prog_get() which increments refcnt of the program,
so it doesn't get unloaded while socket is using the program.

upatepp can get called for a nohpte fault when we find from the linux
page table that the translation was hashed before. In that case
we are sure that there is no existing translation, hence we could
avoid doing tlbie.
We could possibly race with a parallel fault filling the TLB. But
that should be ok because updatepp is only ever relaxing permissions.
We also look at linux pte permission bits when filling hash pte
permission bits. We also hold the linux pte busy bits while
inserting/updating a hashpte entry, hence a paralle update of
linux pte is not possible. On the other hand mprotect involves
ptep_modify_prot_start which cause a hpte invalidate and not updatepp.

This patch enables support for hardware instruction breakpoint in xmon
on POWER8 platform with the help of a new register called the CIABR
(Completed Instruction Address Breakpoint Register). With this patch, a
single hardware instruction breakpoint can be added and cleared during
any active xmon debug session. The hardware based instruction breakpoint
mechanism works correctly with the existing TRAP based instruction
breakpoint available on xmon.
There are no powerpc CPU with CPU_FTR_IABR feature any more. This patch
has re-purposed all the existing IABR related code to work with CIABR
register based HW instruction breakpoint.
This has one odd feature, which is that when we hit a breakpoint xmon
doesn't tell us we have hit the breakpoint. This is because xmon is
expecting bp->address == regs->nip. Because CIABR fires on completition
regs->nip points to the instruction after the breakpoint. We could fix
that, but it would then confuse other parts of the xmon code which think
we need to emulate the instruction. [mpe]
