The enable_kernel_*() functions leave the relevant MSR bits enabled
until we exit the kernel sometime later. Create disable versions
that wrap the kernel use of FP, Altivec VSX or SPE.
While we don't want to disable it normally for performance reasons
(MSR writes are slow), it will be used for a debug boot option that
does this and catches bad uses in other areas of the kernel.

Move all our context switch SPR save and restore code into two
helpers. We do a few optimisations:
- Group all mfsprs and all mtsprs. In many cases an mtspr sets a
scoreboarding bit that an mfspr waits on, so the current practise of
mfspr A; mtspr A; mfpsr B; mtspr B is the worst scheduling we can
do.
- SPR writes are slow, so check that the value is changing before
writing it.

Currently, if HV KVM is configured but PR KVM isn't, we don't include
a test to see whether we were interrupted in KVM guest context for the
set of interrupts which get delivered directly to the guest by hardware
if they occur in the guest. This includes things like program
interrupts.
However, the recent bug where userspace could set the MSR for a VCPU
to have an illegal value in the TS field, and thus cause a TM Bad Thing
type of program interrupt on the hrfid that enters the guest, showed that
we can never be completely sure that these interrupts can never occur
in the guest entry/exit code. If one of these interrupts does happen
and we have HV KVM configured but not PR KVM, then we end up trying to
run the handler in the host with the MMU set to the guest MMU context,
which generally ends badly.
Thus, for robustness it is better to have the test in every interrupt
vector, so that if some way is found to trigger some interrupt in the
guest entry/exit path, we can handle it without immediately crashing
the host.
This means that the distinction between KVMTEST and KVMTEST_PR goes
away. Thus we delete KVMTEST_PR and associated macros and use KVMTEST
everywhere that we previously used either KVMTEST_PR or KVMTEST. It
also means that SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 becomes the same as SOFTEN_TEST_PR,
so we deleted SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 and use SOFTEN_TEST_PR instead.

It is common practice with powerpc to use 'rN' to refer to register 'N'. However
when using the pt_regs_offset table we have to use 'gprN'.
So add aliases such that both 'rN' and 'gprN' can be used.
For example, we can currently do:
$ su -
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
$ echo "p:probe/sys_fchownat sys_fchownat %gpr3:s32 +0(%gpr4):string %gpr5:s32 %gpr6:s32 %gpr7:s32" > kprobe_events
$ echo 1 > events/probe/sys_fchownat/enable
$ touch /tmp/foo
$ chown root /tmp/foo
$ echo 0 > events/enable
$ cat trace
chown-2925 [014] d... 76.160657: sys_fchownat: (SyS_fchownat+0x8/0x1a0) arg1=-100 arg2="/tmp/foo" arg3=0 arg4=-1 arg5=0
Instead we'd like to be able to use:
$ echo "p:probe/sys_fchownat sys_fchownat %r3:s32 +0(%r4):string %r5:s32 %r6:s32 %r7:s32" > kprobe_events

In static micro-threading modes, the dynamic micro-threading code
is supposed to be disabled, because subcores can't make independent
decisions about what micro-threading mode to put the core in - there is
only one micro-threading mode for the whole core. The code that
implements dynamic micro-threading checks for this, except that the
check was missed in one case. This means that it is possible for a
subcore in static 2-way micro-threading mode to try to put the core
into 4-way micro-threading mode, which usually leads to stuck CPUs,
spinlock lockups, and other stalls in the host.
The problem was in the can_split_piggybacked_subcores() function, which
should always return false if the system is in a static micro-threading
mode. This fixes the problem by making can_split_piggybacked_subcores()
use subcore_config_ok() for its checks, as subcore_config_ok() includes
the necessary check for the static micro-threading modes.
Credit to Gautham Shenoy for working out that the reason for the hangs
and stalls we were seeing was that we were trying to do dynamic 4-way
micro-threading while we were in static 2-way mode.

When handling a hypervisor data or instruction storage interrupt (HDSI
or HISI), we look up the SLB entry for the address being accessed in
order to translate the effective address to a virtual address which can
be looked up in the guest HPT. This lookup can occasionally fail due
to the guest replacing an SLB entry without invalidating the evicted
SLB entry. In this situation an ERAT (effective to real address
translation cache) entry can persist and be used by the hardware even
though there is no longer a corresponding SLB entry.
Previously we would just deliver a data or instruction storage interrupt
(DSI or ISI) to the guest in this case. However, this is not correct
and has been observed to cause guests to crash, typically with a
data storage protection interrupt on a store to the vmemmap area.
Instead, what we do now is to synthesize a data or instruction segment
interrupt. That should cause the guest to reload an appropriate entry
into the SLB and retry the faulting instruction. If it still faults,
we should find an appropriate SLB entry next time and be able to handle
the fault.

The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should
be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when
the area is created. This patch adds the ability to set this state via
the new mlock system calls.
We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall.
MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED.
MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags.
When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with
VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags
will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT. When used with both
MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be
marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.
Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the
mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE. This behavior is
maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT. If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is
followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and
new VMAs will be unlocked. This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT
in either mlockall() invocation.
munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags. munlockall()
unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags
field.

With the setup_nr_nodes(), we have already initialized
node_possible_map. So it is safe to use for_each_node here.
There are many places in the kernel that use hardcoded 'for' loop with
nr_node_ids, because all other architectures have numa nodes populated
serially. That should be reason we had maintained the same for
powerpc.
But, since sparse numa node ids possible on powerpc, we unnecessarily
allocate memory for non existent numa nodes.
For e.g., on a system with 0,1,16,17 as numa nodes nr_node_ids=18 and
we allocate memory for nodes 2-14. This patch we allocate memory for
only existing numa nodes.
The patch is boot tested on a 4 node tuleta, confirming with printks
that it works as expected.

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added)
probe_kernel_read().
The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address()
returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns
-EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared.
probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas
probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert
additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs,
although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside
arch/.
My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and
converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got
tiresome.
This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single
probe_kernel_address() callsite.

"Kernel side changes:
- Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock on x86. (Adrian Hunter)
- Intel DS and BTS updates. (Alexander Shishkin)
- Intel cstate PMU support. (Kan Liang)
- Add group read support to perf_event_read(). (Peter Zijlstra)

systems. (Taku Izumi)
- ... misc fixes and cleanups.
The perf tooling team was very busy again with 200+ commits, the full
diff doesn't fit into lkml size limits. Here's an (incomplete) list
of the tooling highlights:
New features:
- Change the default event used in all tools (record/top): use the
most precise "cycles" hw counter available, i.e. when the user
doesn't specify any event, it will try using cycles:ppp, cycles:pp,
etc and fall back transparently until it finds a working counter.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Integration of perf with eBPF that, given an eBPF .c source file
(or .o file built for the 'bpf' target with clang), will get it
automatically built, validated and loaded into the kernel via the
sys_bpf syscall, which can then be used and seen using 'perf trace'
and other tools.
(Wang Nan)
Various user interface improvements:
- Automatic pager invocation on long help output. (Namhyung Kim)
- Search for more options when passing args to -h, e.g.: (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
$ perf report -h interface
Usage: perf report [<options>]
--gtk Use the GTK2 interface
--stdio Use the stdio interface
--tui Use the TUI interface
- Show ordered command line options when -h is used or when an
unknown option is specified. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- If options are passed after -h, show just its descriptions, not all
options. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Implement column based horizontal scrolling in the hists browser
(top, report), making it possible to use the TUI for things like
'perf mem report' where there are many more columns than can fit in
a terminal. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Enhance the error reporting of tracepoint event parsing, e.g.:
$ oldperf record -e sched:sched_switc usleep 1
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Now we get the much nicer:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ can't access trace events
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
And after we have those mount point permissions fixed:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
I.e. basically now the event parsing routing uses the strerror_open()
routines introduced by and used in 'perf trace' work. (Jiri Olsa)
- Fail properly when pattern matching fails to find a tracepoint,
i.e. '-e non:existent' was being correctly handled, with a proper
error message about that not being a valid event, but '-e
non:existent*' wasn't, fix it. (Jiri Olsa)
- Do event name substring search as last resort in 'perf list'.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
E.g.:
# perf list clock
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
cpu-clock [Software event]
task-clock [Software event]
uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_cbox_1/clockticks/ [Kernel PMU event]
kvm:kvm_pvclock_update [Tracepoint event]
kvm:kvm_update_master_clock [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_disable [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_enable [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_set_rate [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_adjtime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_getres [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_gettime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_nanosleep [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_settime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_adjtime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_getres [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_gettime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_nanosleep [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_settime [Tracepoint event]
Intel PT hardware tracing enhancements:
- Accept a zero --itrace period, meaning "as often as possible". In
the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and a unit
of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i). (Adrian Hunter)
- Harmonize itrace's synthesized callchains with the existing
--max-stack tool option. (Adrian Hunter)
- Allow time to be displayed in nanoseconds in 'perf script'.
(Adrian Hunter)
- Fix potential infinite loop when handling Intel PT timestamps.
(Adrian Hunter)
- Slighly improve Intel PT debug logging. (Adrian Hunter)
- Warn when AUX data has been lost, just like when processing
PERF_RECORD_LOST. (Adrian Hunter)
- Further document export-to-postgresql.py script. (Adrian Hunter)
- Add option to synthesize branch stack from auxtrace data. (Adrian
Hunter)
Misc notable changes:
- Switch the default callchain output mode to 'graph,0.5,caller', to
make it look like the default for other tools, reducing the
learning curve for people used to 'caller' based viewing. (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- various call chain usability enhancements. (Namhyung Kim)
- Introduce the 'P' event modifier, meaning 'max precision level,
please', i.e.:
$ perf record -e cycles:P usleep 1
Is now similar to:
$ perf record usleep 1
Useful, for instance, when specifying multiple events. (Jiri Olsa)
- Add 'socket' sort entry, to sort by the processor socket in 'perf
top' and 'perf report'. (Kan Liang)
- Introduce --socket-filter to 'perf report', for filtering by
processor socket. (Kan Liang)
- Add new "Zoom into Processor Socket" operation in the perf hists
browser, used in 'perf top' and 'perf report'. (Kan Liang)
- Allow probing on kmodules without DWARF. (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Fix 'perf probe -l' for probes added to kernel module functions.
(Masami Hiramatsu)
- Preparatory work for the 'perf stat record' feature that will allow
generating perf.data files with counting data in addition to the
sampling mode we have now (Jiri Olsa)
- Update libtraceevent KVM plugin. (Paolo Bonzini)
- ... plus lots of other enhancements that I failed to list properly,

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq departement delivers:
- Rework the irqdomain core infrastructure to accomodate ACPI based
systems. This is required to support ARM64 without creating
artificial device tree nodes.
- Sanitize the ACPI based ARM GIC initialization by making use of the
new firmware independent irqdomain core
- Further improvements to the generic MSI management
- Generalize the irq migration on CPU hotplug
- Improvements to the threaded interrupt infrastructure
- Allow the migration of "chained" low level interrupt handlers
- Allow optional force masking of interrupts in disable_irq[_nosysnc]
- Support for two new interrupt chips - Sigh!
- A larger set of errata fixes for ARM gicv3
- The usual pile of fixes, updates, improvements and cleanups all
over the place"

Freescale updates from Scott:
"Highlights include 64-bit book3e kexec/kdump support, a rework of the
qoriq clock driver, device tree changes including qoriq fman nodes,
support for a new 85xx board, and some fixes.
Note that there is a trivial merge conflict with the clock tree's next
branch, in the clock Makefile."

Merge tag 'powerpc-4.3-6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc fix from Michael Ellerman:
- powerpc/dma: dma_set_coherent_mask() should not be GPL only from Ben
* tag 'powerpc-4.3-6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux:
powerpc/dma: dma_set_coherent_mask() should not be GPL only
When turning this from inline to an exported function I was a bit
over-eager and made it GPL only. This prevents the use of pretty much
all non-GPL PCI driver which is a bit over the top. Let's bring it
back in line with other architecture.
