If the SCA entries aren't used by the hardware (no SIGPIF), we
can simply not set the entries, stick to the basic sca and allow more
than 64 VCPUs.
To hinder any other facility from using these entries, let's properly
provoke intercepts by not setting the MCN and keeping the entries
unset.
This effectively allows when running KVM under KVM (vSIE) or under z/VM to
provide more than 64 VCPUs to a guest. Let's limit it to 255 for now, to
not run into problems if the CPU numbers are limited somewhere else.

Only enable runtime instrumentation if the guest issues an RI related
instruction or if userspace changes the riccb to a valid state.
This makes entry/exit a tiny bit faster.

Vector registers are only to be stored if the facility is available
and if the guest has set up the machine check extended save area.
If anything goes wrong while writing the vector registers, the vector
registers are to be marked as invalid. Please note that we are allowed
to write the registers although they are marked as invalid.
Machine checks and "store status" SIGP orders are two different concepts,
let's correctly separate these. As the SIGP part is completely handled in
user space, we can drop it.
This patch is based on a patch from Cornelia Huck.

The CPACF code makes some assumptions about the availablity of hardware
support. E.g. if the machine supports KM(AES-256) without chaining it is
assumed that KMC(AES-256) with chaining is available as well. For the
existing CPUs this is true but the architecturally correct way is to
check each CPACF functions on its own. This is what the query function
of each instructions is all about.

As the meaning of these variables and pointers seems to change more
frequently, let's directly access our save area, instead of going via
current->thread.
Right now, this is broken for set/get_fpu. They simply overwrite the
host registers, as the pointers to the current save area were turned
into the static host save area.

When triggering KVM_RUN without a user memory region being mapped
(KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION) a validity intercept occurs. This could
happen, if the user memory region was not mapped initially or if it
was unmapped after the vcpu is initialized. The function
kvm_s390_handle_requests checks for the KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD bit. The
check function always clears this bit. If gmap_mprotect_notify
returns an error code, the mapping failed, but the KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD
was not set anymore. So the next time kvm_s390_handle_requests is
called, the execution would fall trough the check for
KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD. The bit needs to be resetted, if
gmap_mprotect_notify returns an error code. Resetting the bit with
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD, vcpu) fixes the bug.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:
- a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
topology found on z13 machines. Performance tests showed up to 8
percent gain with the additional domain.
- the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field
multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.
- proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.
- kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the
inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
net/iucv/iucv.c change.
- support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.
Then there are two removals:
- the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.
- the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
be the STP clock synchronization. And it always has been
"interesting" code..
And the usual bug fixes and cleanups"

This patch adds basic support for nested virtualization on s390x, called
VSIE (virtual SIE) and allows it to be used by the guest if the necessary
facilities are supported by the hardware and enabled for the guest.
In order to make this work, we have to shadow the sie control block
provided by guest 2. In order to gain some performance, we have to
reuse the same shadow blocks as good as possible. For now, we allow
as many shadow blocks as we have VCPUs (that way, every VCPU can run the
VSIE concurrently).
We have to watch out for the prefix getting unmapped out of our shadow
gmap and properly get the VCPU out of VSIE in that case, to fault the
prefix pages back in. We use the PROG_REQUEST bit for that purpose.
This patch is based on an initial prototype by Tobias Elpelt.

The current gmap pte notifier forces a pte into to a read-write state.
If the pte is invalidated the gmap notifier is called to inform KVM
that the mapping will go away.
Extend this approach to allow read-write, read-only and no-access
as possible target states and call the pte notifier for any change
to the pte.
This mechanism is used to temporarily set specific access rights for
a pte without doing the heavy work of a true mprotect call.

We have certain instructions that indicate available subfunctions via
a query subfunction (crypto functions and ptff), or via a test bit
function (plo).
By exposing these "subfunction blocks" to user space, we allow user space
to
1) query available subfunctions and make sure subfunctions won't get lost
during migration - e.g. properly indicate them via a CPU model
2) change the subfunctions to be reported to the guest (even adding
unavailable ones)
This mechanism works just like the way we indicate the stfl(e) list to
user space.
This way, user space could even emulate some subfunctions in QEMU in the
future. If this is ever applicable, we have to make sure later on, that
unsupported subfunctions result in an intercept to QEMU.
Please note that support to indicate them to the guest is still missing
and requires hardware support. Usually, the IBC takes already care of these
subfunctions for migration safety. QEMU should make sure to always set
these bits properly according to the machine generation to be emulated.
Available subfunctions are only valid in combination with STFLE bits
retrieved via KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE and enabled via
KVM_S390_VM_CPU_PROCESSOR. If the applicable bits are available, the
indicated subfunctions are guaranteed to be correct.

ESOP guarantees that during a protection exception, bit 61 of real location
168-175 will only be set to 1 if it was because of ALCP or DATP. If the
exception is due to LAP or KCP, the bit will always be set to 0.
The old SOP definition allowed bit 61 to be unpredictable in case of LAP
or KCP in some conditions. So ESOP replaces this unpredictability by
a guarantee.
Therefore, we can directly forward ESOP if it is available on our machine.
We don't have to do anything when ESOP is disabled - the guest will simply
expect unpredictable values. Our guest access functions are already
handling ESOP properly.
Please note that future functionality in KVM will require knowledge about
ESOP being enabled for a guest or not.

For now, we only have an interface to query and configure facilities
indicated via STFL(E). However, we also have features indicated via
SCLP, that have to be indicated to the guest by user space and usually
require KVM support.
This patch allows user space to query and configure available cpu features
for the guest.
Please note that disabling a feature doesn't necessarily mean that it is
completely disabled (e.g. ESOP is mostly handled by the SIE). We will try
our best to disable it.
Most features (e.g. SCLP) can't directly be forwarded, as most of them need
in addition to hardware support, support in KVM. As we later on want to
turn these features in KVM explicitly on/off (to simulate different
behavior), we have to filter all features provided by the hardware and
make them configurable.

Store hypervisor information is a valid instruction not only in
supervisor state but also in problem state, i.e. the guest's
userspace. Its execution is not only computational and memory
intensive, but also has to get hold of the ipte lock to write to the
guest's memory.
This lock is not intended to be held often and long, especially not
from the untrusted guest userspace. Therefore we apply rate limiting
of sthyi executions per VM.

Store Hypervisor Information is an emulated z/VM instruction that
provides a guest with basic information about the layers it is running
on. This includes information about the cpu configuration of both the
machine and the lpar, as well as their names, machine model and
machine type. This information enables an application to determine the
maximum capacity of CPs and IFLs available to software.
The instruction is available whenever the facility bit 74 is set,
otherwise executing it results in an operation exception.
It is important to check the validity flags in the sections before
using data from any structure member. It is not guaranteed that all
members will be valid on all machines / machine configurations.
