Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"First batch of KVM changes for 4.4.s390:
A bunch of fixes and optimizations for interrupt and time handling.PPC:
Mostly bug fixes.ARM:
No big features, but many small fixes and prerequisites including:- a number of fixes for the arch-timer
- introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers
- a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite
for IRQ forwarding)- some tracepoint improvements
- a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers
- some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state
x86:
Quite a few changes:- support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject
interrupts directly into vCPUs). This introduces a new
component (in virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together.
The same infrastructure will be used for ARM interrupt
forwarding as well.- more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic
interrupt controller will have to wait for 4.5. These will let
KVM expose Hyper-V devices.- nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for
vCPUs) which makes it quite a bit faster- for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for
clflushopt, clwb, pcommit- support for "split irqchip", i.e. LAPIC in kernel +
IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in userspace, which reduces the attack surface of
the hypervisor- obligatory smattering of SMM fixes
- on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten
to not require help from the hypervisor"* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (123 commits)

Pull intel iommu updates from David Woodhouse:
"This adds "Shared Virtual Memory" (aka PASID support) for the Intel
IOMMU. This allows devices to do DMA using process address space,
translated through the normal CPU page tables for the relevant mm.With corresponding support added to the i915 driver, this has been
tested with the graphics device on Skylake. We don't have the
required TLP support in our PCIe root ports for supporting discrete
devices yet, so it's only integrated devices that can do it so far"* git://git.infradead.org/intel-iommu: (23 commits)

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"Seven audit patches for 4.4, but really only one of any significant
value, the remainder are trivial cleanups that are described well
enough in the patch descriptions.The one significant patch is an attempt to make communication between
the kernel's audit subsystem and the userspace audit daemon a bit more
robust by retrying on certain transient error conditions. All in all,
it's a pretty small set of patches this time around with just fixes
and cleanups"* 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:

Ubuntu containers allows hardlinks if we have the appropriate
capabilities in the user namespace. Security wise it is really a

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:- percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated. This was
temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues. Oleg's
rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
merge window resolves the issue.- On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows
->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.- Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
until released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies
(e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
on the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these
changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.- Optimization of a couple common tests using static_key"

I found PML was broken since below commit:
commit feda805fe7c4ed9cf78158e73b1218752e3b4314
Author: Xiao Guangrong
Date: Wed Sep 9 14:05:55 2015 +0800KVM: VMX: unify SECONDARY_VM_EXEC_CONTROL update
Unify the update in vmx_cpuid_update()
Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong
[Rewrite to use vmcs_set_secondary_exec_control. - Paolo]
Signed-off-by: Paolo BonziniThe reason is in above commit vmx_cpuid_update calls vmx_secondary_exec_control,
in which currently SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML bit is cleared unconditionally (as
PML is enabled in creating vcpu). Therefore if vcpu_cpuid_update is called after
vcpu is created, PML will be disabled unexpectedly while log-dirty code still
thinks PML is used.Fix this by clearing SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML in vmx_secondary_exec_control
only when PML is not supported or not enabled (!enable_pml). This is more
reasonable as PML is currently either always enabled or disabled. With this
explicit updating SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML in vmx_enable{disable}_pml is not
needed so also rename vmx_enable{disable}_pml to vmx_create{destroy}_pml_buffer.Fixes: feda805fe7c4ed9cf78158e73b1218752e3b4314

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Quite a new features are included this time.First off, the Collaborative Processor Performance Control interface
(version 2) defined by ACPI will now be supported on ARM64 along with
a cpufreq frontend for CPU performance scaling.Second, ACPI gets a new infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ
chips and clock sources (along the lines of the existing similar
mechanism for DT).Next, the ACPI core and the generic device properties API will now
support a recently introduced hierarchical properties extension of the
_DSD (Device Specific Data) ACPI device configuration object. If the
ACPI platform firmware uses that extension to organize device
properties in a hierarchical way, the kernel will automatically handle
it and make those properties available to device drivers via the
generic device properties API.It also will be possible to build the ACPICA's AML interpreter
debugger into the kernel now and use that to diagnose AML-related
problems more efficiently. In the future, this should make it
possible to single-step AML execution and do similar things.
Interesting stuff, although somewhat experimental at this point.Finally, the PM core gets a new mechanism that can be used by device
drivers to distinguish between suspend-to-RAM (based on platform
firmware support) and suspend-to-idle (or other variants of system
suspend the platform firmware is not involved in) and possibly
optimize their device suspend/resume handling accordingly.In addition to that, some existing features are re-organized quite
substantially.First, the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86 and ia64 is
unified and the common code goes into the ACPI core (so as to reduce
code duplication and eliminate non-essential differences between the
two architectures in that area).Second, the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is
reorganized to make the code easier to find and follow.Next, the cpufreq core's sysfs interface is reorganized to get rid of
the "primary CPU" concept for configurations in which the same
performance scaling settings are shared between multiple CPUs.Finally, some interfaces that aren't necessary any more are dropped
from the generic power domains framework.On top of the above we have some minor extensions, cleanups and bug
fixes in multiple places, as usual.Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150930 (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).
The most significant change is to allow the AML debugger to be
built into the kernel. On top of that there is an update related
to the NFIT table (the ACPI persistent memory interface) and a few
fixes and cleanups.- ACPI CPPC2 (Collaborative Processor Performance Control v2) support
along with a cpufreq frontend (Ashwin Chaugule).This can only be enabled on ARM64 at this point.
- New ACPI infrastructure for the early probing of IRQ chips and
clock sources (Marc Zyngier).- Support for a new hierarchical properties extension of the ACPI
_DSD (Device Specific Data) device configuration object allowing
the kernel to handle hierarchical properties (provided by the
platform firmware this way) automatically and make them available
to device drivers via the generic device properties interface
(Rafael Wysocki).- Generic device properties API extension to obtain an index of
certain string value in an array of strings, along the lines of
of_property_match_string(), but working for all of the supported
firmware node types, and support for the "dma-names" device
property based on it (Mika Westerberg).- ACPI core fix to parse the MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table)
entries in the order expected by platform firmware (and mandated by
the specification) to avoid confusion on systems with more than 255
logical CPUs (Lukasz Anaczkowski).- Consolidation of the ACPI-based handling of PCI host bridges on x86
and ia64 (Jiang Liu).- ACPI core fixes to ensure that the correct IRQ number is used to
represent the SCI (System Control Interrupt) in the cases when it
has been re-mapped (Chen Yu).- New ACPI backlight quirk for Lenovo IdeaPad S405 (Hans de Goede).
- ACPI EC driver fixes (Lv Zheng).
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Dan Carpenter, Insu Yun, Jiri
Kosina, Rami Rosen, Rasmus Villemoes).- New mechanism in the PM core allowing drivers to check if the
platform firmware is going to be involved in the upcoming system
suspend or if it has been involved in the suspend the system is
resuming from at the moment (Rafael Wysocki).This should allow drivers to optimize their suspend/resume handling
in some cases and the changes include a couple of users of it (the
i8042 input driver, PCI PM).- PCI PM fix to prevent runtime-suspended devices with PME enabled
from being resumed during system suspend even if they aren't
configured to wake up the system from sleep (Rafael Wysocki).- New mechanism to report the number of a wakeup IRQ that woke up the
system from sleep last time (Alexandra Yates).- Removal of unused interfaces from the generic power domains
framework and fixes related to latency measurements in that code
(Ulf Hansson, Daniel Lezcano).- cpufreq core sysfs interface rework to make it handle CPUs that
share performance scaling settings (represented by a common cpufreq
policy object) more symmetrically (Viresh Kumar).This should help to simplify the CPU offline/online handling among
other things.- cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar).
- intel_pstate fixes related to the Turbo Activation Ratio (TAR)
mechanism on client platforms which causes the turbo P-states range
to vary depending on platform firmware settings (Srinivas
Pandruvada).- intel_pstate sysfs interface fix (Prarit Bhargava).

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch
merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be
upstreamed via the arm64 tree- CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems
where CPUs may not have exactly the same features. The features
reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are
delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts)- Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA
space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT- Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64
- New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together
with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where
feasible)- KASan support for arm64
- EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by
KASan)- copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template)
- perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework
- L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware
- Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive
entries may be able to use a single TLB entry)- Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64
- defconfig updates

Use machine descriptor (MD) to get node latency
values instead of just using default values.Testing:
On an T5-8 system with:
- total nodes = 8
- self latencies = 0x26d18
- latency to other nodes = 0x3a598
=> latency ratio = ~1.5output of numactl --hardware

The function handle_ldf_stq() deals with no-fault ASI
loads and stores, but restricts fp registers to quad
word regs (ie, %f0, %f4 etc). This is valid for the
STQ case, but unnecessarily restricts loads, which
may be single precision, double, or quad. This results
in SIGFPE being raised for this instruction when the
source address is invalid:
ldda [%g1] ASI_PNF, %f2
but not for this one:
ldda [%g1] ASI_PNF, %f4
The validation check for quad register is moved to
within the STQ block so that loads are not affected
by the check.An additional problem is that the calculation for freg
is incorrect when a single precision load is being
handled. This causes %f1 to be seen as %f32 etc,
and the incorrect register ends up being overwritten.
This code sequence demonstrates the problem:
ldd [%g1], %f32 ! g1 = valid address
lda [%i3] ASI_PNF, %f1 ! i3 = invalid address
std %f32, [%g1]
This is corrected by basing the freg calculation on
the load size.Signed-off-by: Rob Gardner
