Rename mmio_{read,write}_bus to kvm_mmio_{read,write}_bus and export
them out of mmio.c.
This will be needed later for the new VGIC implementation.

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).
Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem this time.
To me, quite obviously, the biggest ticket item is the new "schedutil"
governor. Interestingly enough, it's the first new cpufreq governor
since the beginning of the git era (except for some out-of-the-tree
ones).
There are two main differences between it and the existing governors.
First, it uses the information provided by the scheduler directly for
making its decisions, so it doesn't have to track anything by itself.
Second, it can invoke drivers (supporting that feature) to adjust CPU
performance right away without having to spawn work items to be
executed in process context or similar. Currently, the acpi-cpufreq
driver is the only one supporting that mode of operation, but then it
is used on a large number of systems.
The "schedutil" governor as included here is very simple and mostly
regarded as a foundation for future work on the integration of the
scheduler with CPU power management (in fact, there is work in
progress on top of it already). Nevertheless it works and the
preliminary results obtained with it are encouraging.
There also is some consolidation of CPU frequency management for ARM
platforms that can add their machine IDs the the new stub dt-platdev
driver now and that will take care of creating the requisite platform
device for cpufreq-dt, so it is not necessary to do that in platform
code any more. Several ARM platforms are switched over to using this
generic mechanism.
In addition to that, the intel_pstate driver is now going to respect
CPU frequency limits set by the platform firmware (or a BMC) and
provided via the ACPI _PPC object.
The devfreq subsystem is getting a new "passive" governor for SoCs
subsystems that will depend on somebody else to manage their voltage
rails and its support for Samsung Exynos SoCs is consolidated.
The rest is support for new hardware (Intel Broxton support in
intel_idle for one example), bug fixes, optimizations and cleanups in
a number of places.
Specifics:
- New cpufreq "schedutil" governor (making decisions based on CPU
utilization information provided by the scheduler and capable of
switching CPU frequencies right away if the underlying driver
supports that) and support for fast frequency switching in the
acpi-cpufreq driver (Rafael Wysocki)
- Consolidation of CPU frequency management on ARM platforms allowing
them to get rid of some platform-specific boilerplate code if they
are going to use the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh Kumar, Finley Xiao,
Marc Gonzalez)
- Support for ACPI _PPC and CPU frequency limits in the intel_pstate
driver (Srinivas Pandruvada)
- Fixes and cleanups in the cpufreq core and generic governor code
(Rafael Wysocki, Sai Gurrappadi)
- intel_pstate driver optimizations and cleanups (Rafael Wysocki,

Bhat)

- Fixes and cleanups in the OPP (Operating Performance Points)
framework, mostly related to OPP sharing, and reorganization of

- New "passive" governor for devfreq (for SoC subsystems that will
rely on someone else for the management of their power resources)
and consolidation of devfreq support for Exynos platforms, coding
style and typo fixes for devfreq (Chanwoo Choi, MyungJoo Ham)
- PM core fixes and cleanups, mostly to make it work better with the
generic power domains (genpd) framework, and updates for that
framework (Ulf Hansson, Thierry Reding, Colin Ian King)

Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.
For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.
This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
while still providing a proper speedup.
This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

The introduction of switch_mm_irqs_off() brought back an old bug
regarding the use of preempt_enable_no_resched:
As part of:
62b94a08da1b ("sched/preempt: Take away preempt_enable_no_resched() from modules")
the definition of preempt_enable_no_resched() is only available in
built-in code, not in loadable modules, so we can't generally use
it from header files.
However, the ARM version of finish_arch_post_lock_switch()
calls preempt_enable_no_resched() and is defined as a static
inline function in asm/mmu_context.h. This in turn means we cannot
include asm/mmu_context.h from modules.
With today's tip tree, asm/mmu_context.h gets included from
linux/mmu_context.h, which is normally the exact pattern one would
expect, but unfortunately, linux/mmu_context.h can be included from
the vhost driver that is a loadable module, now causing this compile
time error with modular configs:
In file included from ../include/linux/mmu_context.h:4:0,
from ../drivers/vhost/vhost.c:18:
../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h: In function 'finish_arch_post_lock_switch':
../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h:88:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'preempt_enable_no_resched' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
preempt_enable_no_resched();
Andy already tried to fix the bug by including linux/preempt.h
from asm/mmu_context.h, but that didn't help. Arnd suggested reordering
the header files, which wasn't popular, so let's use this
workaround instead:
The finish_arch_post_lock_switch() definition is now also hidden
inside of #ifdef MODULE, so we don't see anything referencing
preempt_enable_no_resched() from a header file. I've built a
few hundred randconfig kernels with this, and did not see any
new problems.

KVM/ARM Changes for Linux v4.7
Reworks our stage 2 page table handling to have page table manipulation
macros separate from those of the host systems as the underlying
hardware page tables can be configured to be noticably different in
layout from the stage 1 page tables used by the host.
Adds 16K page size support based on the above.
Adds a generic firmware probing layer for the timer and GIC so that KVM
initializes using the same logic based on both ACPI and FDT.
Finally adds support for hardware updating of the access flag.
|
|
The ARMv8.1 architecture extensions introduce support for hardware
updates of the access and dirty information in page table entries. With
VTCR_EL2.HA enabled (bit 21), when the CPU accesses an IPA with the
PTE_AF bit cleared in the stage 2 page table, instead of raising an
Access Flag fault to EL2 the CPU sets the actual page table entry bit
(10). To ensure that kernel modifications to the page table do not
inadvertently revert a bit set by hardware updates, certain Stage 2
software pte/pmd operations must be performed atomically.
The main user of the AF bit is the kvm_age_hva() mechanism. The
kvm_age_hva_handler() function performs a "test and clear young" action
on the pte/pmd. This needs to be atomic in respect of automatic hardware
updates of the AF bit. Since the AF bit is in the same position for both
Stage 1 and Stage 2, the patch reuses the existing
ptep_test_and_clear_young() functionality if
__HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG is defined. Otherwise, the
existing pte_young/pte_mkold mechanism is preserved.
The kvm_set_s2pte_readonly() (and the corresponding pmd equivalent) have
to perform atomic modifications in order to avoid a race with updates of
the AF bit. The arm64 implementation has been re-written using
exclusives.
Currently, kvm_set_s2pte_writable() (and pmd equivalent) take a pointer
argument and modify the pte/pmd in place. However, these functions are
only used on local variables rather than actual page table entries, so
it makes more sense to follow the pte_mkwrite() approach for stage 1
attributes. The change to kvm_s2pte_mkwrite() makes it clear that these
functions do not modify the actual page table entries.
The (pte|pmd)_mkyoung() uses on Stage 2 entries (setting the AF bit
explicitly) do not need to be modified since hardware updates of the
dirty status are not supported by KVM, so there is no possibility of
losing such information.

For kexec, we need more functionality from the IDMAP system. We need to
be able to convert physical addresses to their identity mappped versions
as well as virtual addresses.
Convert the existing arch_virt_to_idmap() to deal with physical
addresses instead.

The current kvm implementation on arm64 does cpu-specific initialization
at system boot, and has no way to gracefully shutdown a core in terms of
kvm. This prevents kexec from rebooting the system at EL2.
This patch adds a cpu tear-down function and also puts an existing cpu-init
code into a separate function, kvm_arch_hardware_disable() and
kvm_arch_hardware_enable() respectively.
We don't need the arm64 specific cpu hotplug hook any more.
Since this patch modifies common code between arm and arm64, one stub
definition, __cpu_reset_hyp_mode(), is added on arm side to avoid
compilation errors.

Define ARCH_EFI_IRQ_FLAGS_MASK for arm, which will enable the generic
runtime wrapper code to detect when firmware erroneously modifies flags
over a runtime services function call.
We check all allocated flags, barring those which firmware has
legitimate reason to modify (condition flags and IT state). While in
practice corruption of some flags (e.g. J) would already be fatal, we
include these for consistency and documentation purposes.

In order to hand over the framebuffer described by the GOP protocol and
discovered by the UEFI stub, make struct screen_info accessible by the
stub. This involves allocating a loader data buffer and passing it to the
kernel proper via a UEFI Configuration Table, since the UEFI stub executes
in the context of the decompressor, and cannot access the kernel's copy of
struct screen_info directly.

The generic memremap() falls back to using ioremap_cache() to create
MEMREMAP_WB mappings if the requested region is not already covered
by the linear mapping, unless the architecture provides an implementation
of arch_memremap_wb().
Since ioremap_cache() is not appropriate on ARM to map memory with the
same attributes used for the linear mapping, implement arch_memremap_wb()
which does exactly that. Also, relax the WARN() check to allow MT_MEMORY_RW
mappings of pfn_valid() pages.

The original ARM-only ioremap flavor 'ioremap_cached' has been renamed
to 'ioremap_cache' to align with other architectures, and subsequently
abused in generic code to map things like firmware tables in memory.
For that reason, there is currently an effort underway to deprecate
ioremap_cache, whose semantics are poorly defined, and which is typed
with an __iomem annotation that is inappropriate for mappings of ordinary
memory.
However, original users of ioremap_cached() used it in a context where
the I/O connotation is appropriate, and replacing those instances with
memremap() does not make sense. So let's revive ioremap_cached(), so
that we can change back those original users before we drop ioremap_cache
entirely in favor of memremap.

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

Code that uses no modular facilities whatsoever should not be
sourcing module.h at all, since that header drags in a bunch
of other headers with it.
Similarly, code that is not explicitly using modular facilities
like module_init() but only is declaring module_param setup
variables should be using moduleparam.h and not the larger
module.h file for that.
In making this change, we also uncover an implicit use of BUG()
in inline fcns within arch/arm/include/asm/xen/hypercall.h so
we explicitly source <linux/bug.h> for that file now.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6. There are some relatively
intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.
Summary:
- Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture
requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
that's not always possible on live page tables
- Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
anywhere in physical RAM
- Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)
- Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
(initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
dependencies)
- Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
LDTR/STTR instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
privileged accesses via the UAO bit
- Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)
- Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
run-time code patching)
- copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time
- Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g. weird
big.LITTLE configurations)
- valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
sigcontext information (restored pstate information)
- ACPI parking protocol implementation
- CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default
- VDSO code marked as read-only
- DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support
