Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
"Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.
Common:
Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other
architectures). This can improve latency up to 50% on some
scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests). This
also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to
auto-tune this in the future.
ARM/ARM64:
The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
tracking
s390:
Several optimizations and bugfixes. Also a first: a feature
exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)
MIPS:
Bugfixes.
x86:
Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
usual round of emulation fixes.
There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.
Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
have already included his tree.
Powerpc:
Nothing yet.
The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
offline for some part of next week"

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

ARM uses custom implementation of PMD folding in 2-level page table case.
Generic code expects to see __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED to be defined if PMD is
folded, but ARM doesn't do this. Let's fix it.
Defining __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED will drop out unused __pmd_alloc(). It
also fixes problems with recently-introduced pmd accounting on ARM without
LPAE.

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
pmd page tables to the process":
mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
>> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]
The code:
> 2857 WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) >
2858 round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT);
In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0. round_up() has
the same type -- int. PUD_SHIFT.
I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long. On every arch for consistency.

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
"Bite-sized chunks this time, to avoid the MTA ratelimiting woes.
- fs/notify updates
- ocfs2
- some of MM"
That laconic "some MM" is mainly the removal of remap_file_pages(),
which is a big simplification of the VM, and which gets rid of a *lot*
of random cruft and special cases because we no longer support the
non-linear mappings that it used.
From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the
remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the
old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of
one non-linear one.
The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but
nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying
the VM is a big advantage.

The __asmeq macro is used inside inline asm statements to ensure that
register asm variables that explicitly specify a register are mapped
correctly onto those registers when used in inline asm input and output
constraints. However, the string based matching fails to take into
account that 'fp' is often referred to as 'r11' and 'ip' is often
referred to as 'r12', (e.g., by clang), causing false negatives.
Fix this by making __asmeq consider the ("fp","r11"), ("r11","fp"),
("ip","r12") and ("r12","ip") cases specifically.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

The net/core/dev.c conflict was the overlap of one commit marking an
existing function static whilst another was adding a new function.
In the include/linux/if_vlan.h case, the type used for a local
variable was changed in 'net', whereas the function got rewritten
to fix a stacked vlan bug in 'net-next'.
In drivers/vhost/net.c, Al Viro's iov_iter conversions in 'net-next'
overlapped with an endainness fix for VHOST 1.0 in 'net'.
In drivers/net/vxlan.c, vxlan_find_vni() added a 'flags' parameter
in 'net-next' whereas in 'net' there was a bug fix to pass in the
correct network namespace pointer in calls to this function.

When handling a fault in stage-2, we need to resync I$ and D$, just
to be sure we don't leave any old cache line behind.
That's very good, except that we do so using the *user* address.
Under heavy load (swapping like crazy), we may end up in a situation
where the page gets mapped in stage-2 while being unmapped from
userspace by another CPU.
At that point, the DC/IC instructions can generate a fault, which
we handle with kvm->mmu_lock held. The box quickly deadlocks, user
is unhappy.
Instead, perform this invalidation through the kernel mapping,
which is guaranteed to be present. The box is much happier, and so
am I.

to that page. Let's also assume that the host uses a cache-coherent
IO subsystem. Let's finally assume that the host is under memory
pressure and starts to swap things out.
Before this "uncached" page is evicted, we need to make sure
we invalidate potential speculated, clean cache lines that are
sitting there, or the IO subsystem is going to swap out the
cached view, loosing the data that has been written directly
into memory.

Trying to emulate the behaviour of set/way cache ops is fairly
pointless, as there are too many ways we can end-up missing stuff.
Also, there is some system caches out there that simply ignore
set/way operations.
So instead of trying to implement them, let's convert it to VA ops,
and use them as a way to re-enable the trapping of VM ops. That way,
we can detect the point when the MMU/caches are turned off, and do
a full VM flush (which is what the guest was trying to do anyway).
This allows a 32bit zImage to boot on the APM thingy, and will
probably help bootloaders in general.

When unmapping grants, instead of converting the kernel map ops to
unmap ops on the fly, pre-populate the set of unmap ops.
This allows the grant unmap for the kernel mappings to be trivially
batched in the future.

For a GICv2 there is always only one (v)CPU involved: the one that
does the access. On a GICv3 the access to a CPU redistributor is
memory-mapped, but not banked, so the (v)CPU affected is determined by
looking at the MMIO address region being accessed.
To allow passing the affected CPU into the accessors later, extend
struct kvm_exit_mmio to add an opaque private pointer parameter.
The current GICv2 emulation just does not use it.

Currently the maximum number of vCPUs supported is a global value
limited by the used GIC model. GICv3 will lift this limit, but we
still need to observe it for guests using GICv2.
So the maximum number of vCPUs is per-VM value, depending on the
GIC model the guest uses.
Store and check the value in struct kvm_arch, but keep it down to
8 for now.

The virtual MPIDR registers (containing topology information) for the
guest are currently mapped linearily to the vcpu_id. Improve this
mapping for arm64 by using three levels to not artificially limit the
number of vCPUs.
To help this, change and rename the kvm_vcpu_get_mpidr() function to
mask off the non-affinity bits in the MPIDR register.
Also add an accessor to later allow easier access to a vCPU with a
given MPIDR. Use this new accessor in the PSCI emulation.

This patch introduce kprobeopt for ARM 32.
Limitations:
- Currently only kernel compiled with ARM ISA is supported.
- Offset between probe point and optinsn slot must not larger than
32MiB. Masami Hiramatsu suggests replacing 2 words, it will make
things complex. Futher patch can make such optimization.
Kprobe opt on ARM is relatively simpler than kprobe opt on x86 because
ARM instruction is always 4 bytes aligned and 4 bytes long. This patch
replace probed instruction by a 'b', branch to trampoline code and then
calls optimized_callback(). optimized_callback() calls opt_pre_handler()
to execute kprobe handler. It also emulate/simulate replaced instruction.
When unregistering kprobe, the deferred manner of unoptimizer may leave
branch instruction before optimizer is called. Different from x86_64,
which only copy the probed insn after optprobe_template_end and
reexecute them, this patch call singlestep to emulate/simulate the insn
directly. Futher patch can optimize this behavior.

Most if not all ARM PCI host controller device drivers either ignore the
domain field in the pci_sys_data structure or just increment it every time
a host controller is probed, using it as a domain counter.
Therefore, instead of relying on pci_sys_data to stash the domain number in
a standard location, ARM pcibios code can be moved to the newly introduced
generic PCI domains code, implemented in commits:
41e5c0f81d3e ("of/pci: Add pci_get_new_domain_nr() and of_get_pci_domain_nr()")
670ba0c8883b ("PCI: Add generic domain handling")
ARM code is made to select PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC by default, which builds
core PCI code that assigns the domain number through the generic function:
void pci_bus_assign_domain_nr(...)
that relies on a DT property to define the domain number or falls back to a
counter according to a predefined logic; its usage replaces the current
domain assignment code in PCI host controllers present in the kernel.

Introduce a new function to unmap user RAM regions in the stage2 page
tables. This is needed on reboot (or when the guest turns off the MMU)
to ensure we fault in pages again and make the dcache, RAM, and icache
coherent.
Using unmap_stage2_range for the whole guest physical range does not
work, because that unmaps IO regions (such as the GIC) which will not be
recreated or in the best case faulted in on a page-by-page basis.
Call this function on secondary and subsequent calls to the
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl so that a reset VCPU will detect the guest
Stage-1 MMU is off when faulting in pages and make the caches coherent.

It is not clear that this ioctl can be called multiple times for a given
vcpu. Userspace already does this, so clarify the ABI.
Also specify that userspace is expected to always make secondary and
subsequent calls to the ioctl with the same parameters for the VCPU as
the initial call (which userspace also already does).
Add code to check that userspace doesn't violate that ABI in the future,
and move the kvm_vcpu_set_target() function which is currently
duplicated between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions in guest.c to a common
static function in arm.c, shared between both architectures.

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.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time we have some more new material than we used to have during
the last couple of development cycles.
The most important part of it to me is the introduction of a unified
interface for accessing device properties provided by platform
firmware. It works with Device Trees and ACPI in a uniform way and
drivers using it need not worry about where the properties come from
as long as the platform firmware (either DT or ACPI) makes them
available. It covers both devices and "bare" device node objects
without struct device representation as that turns out to be necessary
in some cases. This has been in the works for quite a few months (and
development cycles) and has been approved by all of the relevant
maintainers.
On top of that, some drivers are switched over to the new interface
(at25, leds-gpio, gpio_keys_polled) and some additional changes are
made to the core GPIO subsystem to allow device drivers to manipulate
GPIOs in the "canonical" way on platforms that provide GPIO
information in their ACPI tables, but don't assign names to GPIO lines
(in which case the driver needs to do that on the basis of what it
knows about the device in question). That also has been approved by
the GPIO core maintainers and the rfkill driver is now going to use
it.
Second is support for hardware P-states in the intel_pstate driver.
It uses CPUID to detect whether or not the feature is supported by the
processor in which case it will be enabled by default. However, it
can be disabled entirely from the kernel command line if necessary.
Next is support for a platform firmware interface based on ACPI
operation regions used by the PMIC (Power Management Integrated
Circuit) chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR platforms.
That interface is used for manipulating power resources and for
thermal management: sensor temperature reporting, trip point setting
and so on.
Also the ACPI core is now going to support the _DEP configuration
information in a limited way. Basically, _DEP it supposed to reflect
off-the-hierarchy dependencies between devices which may be very
indirect, like when AML for one device accesses locations in an
operation region handled by another device's driver (usually, the
device depended on this way is a serial bus or GPIO controller). The
support added this time is sufficient to make the ACPI battery driver
work on Asus T100A, but it is general enough to be able to cover some
other use cases in the future.
Finally, we have a new cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor.
In addition to the above, there are fixes and cleanups all over the
place as usual and a traditional ACPICA update to a recent upstream
release.
As far as the fixes go, the ACPI LPSS (Low-power Subsystem) driver for
Intel platforms should be able to handle power management of the DMA
engine correctly, the cpufreq-dt driver should interact with the
thermal subsystem in a better way and the ACPI backlight driver should
handle some more corner cases, among other things.
On top of the ACPICA update there are fixes for race conditions in the
ACPICA's interrupt handling code which might lead to some random and
strange looking failures on some systems.
In the cleanups department the most visible part is the series of
commits targeted at getting rid of the CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME configuration
option. That was triggered by a discussion regarding the generic
power domains code during which we realized that trying to support
certain combinations of PM config options was painful and not really
worth it, because nobody would use them in production anyway. For
this reason, we decided to make CONFIG_PM_SLEEP select
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and that lead to the conclusion that the latter
became redundant and CONFIG_PM could be used instead of it. The
material here makes that replacement in a major part of the tree, but
there will be at least one more batch of that in the second part of
the merge window.
Specifics:
- Support for retrieving device properties information from ACPI _DSD
device configuration objects and a unified device properties
interface for device drivers (and subsystems) on top of that. As
stated above, this works with Device Trees and ACPI and allows
device drivers to be written in a platform firmware (DT or ACPI)
agnostic way. The at25, leds-gpio and gpio_keys_polled drivers are
now going to use this new interface and the GPIO subsystem is
additionally modified to allow device drivers to assign names to
GPIO resources returned by ACPI _CRS objects (in case _DSD is not
present or does not provide the expected data). The changes in
this set are mostly from Mika Westerberg, Rafael J Wysocki, Aaron
Lu, and Darren Hart with some fixes from others (Fabio Estevam,
Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Support for Hardware Managed Performance States (HWP) as described
in Volume 3, section 14.4, of the Intel SDM in the intel_pstate
driver. CPUID is used to detect whether or not the feature is
supported by the processor. If supported, it will be enabled
automatically unless the intel_pstate=no_hwp switch is present in
the kernel command line. From Dirk Brandewie.
- New Intel Broadwell-H ID for intel_pstate (Dirk Brandewie).
- Support for firmware interface based on ACPI operation regions used
by the PMIC chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR
platforms for power resource control and thermal management (Aaron
Lu).
- Limited support for retrieving off-the-hierarchy dependencies
between devices from ACPI _DEP device configuration objects and
deferred probing support for the ACPI battery driver based on the
_DEP information to make that driver work on Asus T100A (Lan
Tianyu).
- New cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor (Kelvin Cheung).
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20141107 which only affects
tools (Bob Moore).
- Fixes for race conditions in the ACPICA's interrupt handling code
and in the ACPI code related to system suspend and resume (Lv Zheng
and Rafael J Wysocki).
- ACPI core fix for an RCU-related issue in the ioremap() regions
management code that slowed down significantly after CPUs had been
allowed to enter idle states even if they'd had RCU callbakcs
queued and triggered some problems in certain proprietary graphics
driver (and elsewhere). The fix replaces synchronize_rcu() in that
code with synchronize_rcu_expedited() which makes the issue go
away. From Konstantin Khlebnikov.
- ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver fix to handle power
management of the DMA engine included into the LPSS correctly. The
problem is that the DMA engine doesn't have ACPI PM support of its
own and it simply is turned off when the last LPSS device having
ACPI PM support goes into D3cold. To work around that, the PM
domain used by the ACPI LPSS driver is redesigned so at least one
device with ACPI PM support will be on as long as the DMA engine is
in use. From Andy Shevchenko.
- ACPI backlight driver fix to avoid using it on "Win8-compatible"
systems where it doesn't work and where it was used by default by
mistake (Aaron Lu).
- Assorted minor ACPI core fixes and cleanups from Tomasz Nowicki,
Sudeep Holla, Huang Rui, Hanjun Guo, Fabian Frederick, and Ashwin
Chaugule (mostly related to the upcoming ARM64 support).
- Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) power capping driver fixes
and improvements including new processor IDs (Jacob Pan).
- Generic power domains modification to power up domains after
attaching devices to them to meet the expectations of device
drivers and bus types assuming devices to be accessible at probe
time (Ulf Hansson).
- Preliminary support for controlling device clocks from the generic
power domains core code and modifications of the ARM/shmobile
platform to use that feature (Ulf Hansson).
- Assorted minor fixes and cleanups of the generic power domains core
code (Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Assorted minor fixes and cleanups of the device clocks control code
in the PM core (Geert Uytterhoeven, Grygorii Strashko).
- Consolidation of device power management Kconfig options by making
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP select CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and removing the latter
which is now redundant (Rafael J Wysocki and Kevin Hilman). That
is the first batch of the changes needed for this purpose.
- Core device runtime power management support code cleanup related
to the execution of callbacks (Andrzej Hajda).
- cpuidle ARM support improvements (Lorenzo Pieralisi).
- cpuidle cleanup related to the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID flag and a
new MAINTAINERS entry for ARM Exynos cpuidle (Daniel Lezcano and
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).
- New cpufreq driver callback (->ready) to be executed when the
cpufreq core is ready to use a given policy object and cpufreq-dt
driver modification to use that callback for cooling device
registration (Viresh Kumar).
- cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar, Vince Hsu, James
Geboski, Tomeu Vizoso).
- Assorted fixes and cleanups in the cpufreq-pcc, intel_pstate,
cpufreq-dt, pxa2xx cpufreq drivers (Lenny Szubowicz, Ethan Zhao,
Stefan Wahren, Petr Cvek).
- OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework modification to allow
OPPs to be removed too and update of a few cpufreq drivers
(cpufreq-dt, exynos5440, imx6q, cpufreq) to remove OPPs (added
during initialization) on driver removal (Viresh Kumar).
- Hibernation core fixes and cleanups (Tina Ruchandani and Markus
Elfring).
- PM Kconfig fix related to CPU power management (Pankaj Dubey).
- cpupower tool fix (Prarit Bhargava)"
