Pull second batch of kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Four changes:- x86: work around two nasty cases where a benign exception occurs
while another is being delivered. The endless stream of exceptions
causes an infinite loop in the processor, which not even NMIs or
SMIs can interrupt; in the virt case, there is no possibility to
exit to the host either.- x86: support for Skylake per-guest TSC rate. Long supported by
AMD, the patches mostly move things from there to common
arch/x86/kvm/ code.- generic: remove local_irq_save/restore from the guest entry and
exit paths when context tracking is enabled. The patches are a few
months old, but we discussed them again at kernel summit. Andy
will pick up from here and, in 4.5, try to remove it from the user
entry/exit paths.- PPC: Two bug fixes, see merge commit 370289756becc for details"

Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe:
"Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for
(really) fast devices. The code has been reviewed and has been
sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough
for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation.Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported. A framework is in
the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune
this. And we'll add libaio support as well soon. Fow now, it's an

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.Fixes: b4deba5c41e9

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.Tested-by: Thomas Huth

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.Signed-off-by: Eric B Munson

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.Signed-off-by: Raghavendra K T

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.Cc: Steven Miao

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

KVM/ARM Changes for v4.4-rc1
Includes 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, and finally a stylistic change that gets rid of
some ctags warnings.Conflicts:

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"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)
- Branch call hardware sampling support, implemented on x86 and
PowerPC. (Stephane Eranian)- Event groups transactional interface enhancements. (Sukadev
Bhattiprolu)- Enable proper x86/intel/uncore PMU support on multi-segment PCI
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 []
--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 eventsNow we get the much nicer:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ can't access trace eventsError: 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 tracepointError: 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'.

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)

Building with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH gives the following warning:
The function .msi_bitmap_alloc() references
the function __init .memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid().Memory allocation in msi_bitmap_alloc() uses either slab allocator or
memblock boot time allocator depending on slab_is_available().So the section mismatch warning is correct, but in practice there is no
bug so mark msi_bitmap_alloc() as __init_refok.Signed-off-by: Denis Kirjanov

Commit a030e1e4bbd085bbcfd0a23f8d355fcd41f39bed make a change to use
kstrndup() instead of kmalloc() + strlcpy() in the pseries_of_derive_parent()
routine that introduces a subtle change in the parent path name generated.
The kstrndup() routine will copy n characters followed by a terminating null,
whereas strlcpy() will copy n-1 characters and add a terminating null.This slight difference results in having a parent path that includes the
tailing '/' character, "/cpus/" vs. "/cpus". This then causes the subsequent
call to of_find_node_by_path() to fail, and in the case of DLPAR add
operations the DLPAR request fails.This patch decrements the pointer returned from kbasename() to point to the
'/' character before the base name instead of the base name. This then
adjusts the string length calculations to not include the trailing '/'
in the parent path name.Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot

In order to workaround Erratum A-008139, we have to invalidate the
tlb entry with tlbilx before overwriting. Due to the performance
consideration, we don't add any memory barrier when acquire/release
the tcd lock. This means the two load instructions for esel_next do
have the possibility to return different value. This is definitely
not acceptable due to the Erratum A-008139. We have two options to
fix this issue:
a) Add memory barrier when acquire/release tcd lock to order the
load/store to esel_next.
b) Just make sure to invalidate and write to the same tlb entry and
tolerate the race that we may get the wrong value and overwrite
the tlb entry just updated by the other thread.We observe better performance using option b. So reserve an additional
register to save the value of the esel_next.Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao

mpic_irq_set_wake return -ENXIO for non FSL MPIC and sets IRQF_NO_SUSPEND
