This reworks kvmppc_mmu_book3s_64_xlate() to make it check the large
page bit in the hashed page table entries (HPTEs) it looks at, and
to simplify and streamline the code. The checking of the first dword
of each HPTE is now done with a single mask and compare operation,
and all the code dealing with the matching HPTE, if we find one,
is consolidated in one place in the main line of the function flow.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

It turns out that if we exit the guest due to a hcall instruction (sc 1),
and the loading of the instruction in the guest exit path fails for any
reason, the call to kvmppc_ld() in kvmppc_get_last_inst() fetches the
instruction after the hcall instruction rather than the hcall itself.
This in turn means that the instruction doesn't get recognized as an
hcall in kvmppc_handle_exit_pr() but gets passed to the guest kernel
as a sc instruction. That usually results in the guest kernel getting
a return code of 38 (ENOSYS) from an hcall, which often triggers a
BUG_ON() or other failure.This fixes the problem by adding a new variant of kvmppc_get_last_inst()
called kvmppc_get_last_sc(), which fetches the instruction if necessary
from pc - 4 rather than pc.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

Currently the code assumes that once we load up guest FP/VSX or VMX
state into the CPU, it stays valid in the CPU registers until we
explicitly flush it to the thread_struct. However, on POWER7,
copy_page() and memcpy() can use VMX. These functions do flush the
VMX state to the thread_struct before using VMX instructions, but if
this happens while we have guest state in the VMX registers, and we
then re-enter the guest, we don't reload the VMX state from the
thread_struct, leading to guest corruption. This has been observed
to cause guest processes to segfault.To fix this, we check before re-entering the guest that all of the
bits corresponding to facilities owned by the guest, as expressed
in vcpu->arch.guest_owned_ext, are set in current->thread.regs->msr.
Any bits that have been cleared correspond to facilities that have
been used by kernel code and thus flushed to the thread_struct, so
for them we reload the state from the thread_struct.We also need to check current->thread.regs->msr before calling
giveup_fpu() or giveup_altivec(), since if the relevant bit is
clear, the state has already been flushed to the thread_struct and
to flush it again would corrupt it.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

KVM uses anon_inode_get() to allocate file descriptors as part
of some of its ioctls. But those ioctls are lacking a flag argument
allowing userspace to choose options for the newly opened file descriptor.In such case it's advised to use O_CLOEXEC by default so that
userspace is allowed to choose, without race, if the file descriptor
is going to be inherited across exec().This patch set O_CLOEXEC flag on all file descriptors created
with anon_inode_getfd() to not leak file descriptors across exec().Signed-off-by: Yann Droneaud

Unlike the other general-purpose SPRs, SPRG3 can be read by usermode
code, and is used in recent kernels to store the CPU and NUMA node
numbers so that they can be read by VDSO functions. Thus we need to
load the guest's SPRG3 value into the real SPRG3 register when entering
the guest, and restore the host's value when exiting the guest. We don't
need to save the guest SPRG3 value when exiting the guest as usermode
code can't modify SPRG3.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

The table of offsets to real-mode hcall handlers in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S
can contain negative values, if some of the handlers end up before the
table in the vmlinux binary. Thus we need to use a sign-extending load

Without this, the host crashes when the guest does one of the hcalls
with negative offsets, due to jumping to a bogus address.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

This corrects the usage of the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry) instruction
in HV KVM. The tlbie instruction changed between PPC970 and POWER7.
On the PPC970, the bit to select large vs. small page is in the instruction,
not in the RB register value. This changes the code to use the correct
form on PPC970.On POWER7 we were calculating the AVAL (Abbreviated Virtual Address, Lower)
field of the RB value incorrectly for 64k pages. This fixes it.Since we now have several cases to handle for the tlbie instruction, this
factors out the code to do a sequence of tlbies into a new function,
do_tlbies(), and calls that from the various places where the code was
doing tlbie instructions inline. It also makes kvmppc_h_bulk_remove()
use the same global_invalidates() function for determining whether to do
local or global TLB invalidations as is used in other places, for
consistency, and also to make sure that kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush gets
updated properly.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

In the Power7 PMU guide:
https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/
PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED.It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and
documentation accordingly.This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok:
- It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform.
- No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point
(none are listed near the interface).- Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf)
would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED".- These are in the ABI/testing at this point rather than ABI/stable,
so hoping we have some wiggle room.Signed-off-by: Runzhen Wang

Powerpc architecture uses a hash based page table mechanism for mapping virtual
addresses to physical address. The architecture require this hash page table to
be physically contiguous. With KVM on Powerpc currently we use early reservation
mechanism for allocating guest hash page table. This implies that we need to
reserve a big memory region to ensure we can create large number of guest
simultaneously with KVM on Power. Another disadvantage is that the reserved memory
is not available to rest of the subsystems and and that implies we limit the total
available memory in the host.This patch series switch the guest hash page table allocation to use

Merge Kconfig menu diet patches from Dave Hansen:
"I think the "Kernel Hacking" menu has gotten a bit out of hand. It is

Let's try to introduce some sanity. This set takes that 120 lines
down to 55 and makes it vastly easier to find some things. It's a
start.This set stands on its own, but there is plenty of room for follow-up
patches. The arch-specific debug options still end up getting stuck
in the top-level "kernel hacking" menu. OPTIMIZE_INLINING, for
instance, could obviously go in to the "compiler options" menu, but
the fact that it is defined in arch/ in a separate Kconfig file keeps
it on its own for the moment.The Signed-off-by's in here look funky. I changed employers while
working on this set, so I have signoffs from both email addresses"* emailed patches from Dave Hansen :

Original posting:

Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options.
They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly
differing help text.This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig
boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug
to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of
duplication and adds consistency across arches.Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen

huge pages on kernels compiled with a 64K base page size.- Base VFIO support for KVM on power by Alexey Kardashevskiy
- Wiring up of our nvram to the pstore infrastructure, including
putting compressed oopses in there by Aruna Balakrishnaiah- Move, rework and improve our "EEH" (basically PCI error handling
and recovery) infrastructure. It is no longer specific to pseries
but is now usable by the new "powernv" platform as well (no
hypervisor) by Gavin Shan.- I fixed some bugs in our math-emu instruction decoding and made it
usable to emulate some optional FP instructions on processors with
hard FP that lack them (such as fsqrt on Freescale embedded
processors).- Support for Power8 "Event Based Branch" facility by Michael
Ellerman. This facility allows what is basically "userspace
interrupts" for performance monitor events.- A bunch of Transactional Memory vs. Signals bug fixes and HW
breakpoint/watchpoint fixes by Michael Neuling.And more ... I appologize in advance if I've failed to highlight
something that somebody deemed worth it."* 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (156 commits)

saved_max_pfn is used to know the amount of memory that the previous
kernel used. And for powerpc, we set saved_max_pfn by passing the kernel
commandline parameter "savemaxmem=".The only user of saved_max_pfn in powerpc is read_oldmem interface. Since
we have removed read_oldmem, we don't need this parameter anymore.Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanfei

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch
memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it. With these
changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global
variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(),
free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count().With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep
totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu

Address more review comments from last round of code review.
1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with
pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem()
on ARM64.
2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390
by mistake, so restore to the original behavior.
3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu
