Add wrappers for the PDC_PAT_CELL_GET_INFO and
PDC_PAT_PD_GET_PDC_INTERF_REV PAT PDC subfunctions.
Both provide access to the PAT capability bitfield which can guide us if
simultaneous PTLBs are allowed on the bus, and if firmware will
rendezvous all processors within PDCE_Check in case of an HPMC.

The zdep and depw,z mnemonics generate the same code. The assembler will
accept the depw,z mnemonic when generating PA 1.x code. The zdep
mnemonic is okay when generating PA 2.0 code. This patch changes depw,z
to zdep in the current shlw macro, while the binary code will be the

net/sched/cls_api.c has overlapping changes to a call to
nlmsg_parse(), one (from 'net') added rtm_tca_policy instead of NULL

It seems we have some leftovers from times when 'unrestricted guest'

enable_smccc_arch_workaround_1() passes NULL as the hyp_vecs start and
end if the HVC conduit is in use, and ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 is
detected.
If the guest kernel happened to be built with KVM_INDIRECT_VECTORS,
we go on to allocate a slot, memcpy() the empty workaround in and
do the appropriate cache maintenance.
This works as we always tell memcpy() the range is 0, so it never
accesses the NULL src pointer, but we still do the cache maintenance.
If hyp_vecs_start is NULL we know we're a guest, just update the fn
like the !KVM_INDIRECT_VECTORS version.

When the last CPU in an rdt_domain goes offline, its rdt_domain struct gets
freed. Current pseudo-locking code is unaware of this scenario and tries to
dereference the freed structure in a few places.
Add checks to prevent pseudo-locking code from doing this.
While further work is needed to seamlessly restore resource groups (not
just pseudo-locking) to their configuration when the domain is brought back
online, the immediate issue of invalid pointers is addressed here.

This commit adds a paranoid check when entering the guest to make sure
we don't attempt running guest code in an equally or more privilged mode
than the hypervisor. We also catch other accidental programming of the

safely back to the user.

This disables the use of the streamlined entry path for radix guests
on early POWER9 chips that need the workaround added in commit
a25bd72badfa ("powerpc/mm/radix: Workaround prefetch issue with KVM",
2017-07-24), because the streamlined entry path does not include
that workaround. This also means that we can't do nested HV-KVM
on those chips.
Since the chips that need that workaround are the same ones that can't
run both radix and HPT guests at the same time on different threads of
a core, we use the existing 'no_mixing_hpt_and_radix' variable that
identifies those chips to identify when we can't use the new guest
entry path, and when we can't do nested virtualization.

Now that the generic swiotlb code supports non-coherent DMA we can switch
to it for arm64. For that we need to refactor the existing
alloc/free/mmap/pgprot helpers to be used as the architecture hooks,
and implement the standard arch_sync_dma_for_{device,cpu} hooks for
cache maintaincance in the streaming dma hooks, which also implies
using the generic dma_coherent flag in struct device.
Note that we need to keep the old is_device_dma_coherent function around
for now, so that the shared arm/arm64 Xen code keeps working.

All architectures that support swiotlb also have a zone that backs up
these less than full addressing allocations (usually ZONE_DMA32).
Because of that it is rather pointless to fall back to the global swiotlb
buffer if the normal dma direct allocation failed - the only thing this
will do is to eat up bounce buffers that would be more useful to serve
streaming mappings.

In the recent commit 8b78fdb045de ("powerpc/time: Use
clockevents_register_device(), fixing an issue with large
decrementer") we changed the way we initialise the decrementer
clockevent(s).
We no longer initialise the mult & shift values of
decrementer_clockevent itself.
This has the effect of breaking PR KVM, because it uses those values
in kvmppc_emulate_dec(). The symptom is guest kernels spin forever
mid-way through boot.
For now fix it by assigning back to decrementer_clockevent the mult
and shift values.

I'm pretty sure this is dead code, it's only used by the a.out core
dump code, and we don't support a.out. We should remove it.
But while it's in the tree it should be using the ABI version of
pt_regs which is called user_pt_regs in the kernel, because the whole
struct is written to the core dump and so its size shouldn't change.
Note this isn't a uapi header so we don't need an ifdef.

My recent patch to split pt_regs between user and kernel missed
the usage in struct sigcontext.
Because this is a user visible struct it should be using the user
visible definition, which when we're building for the kernel is called
struct user_pt_regs.
As far as I can see this hasn't actually caused a bug (yet), because
we don't use the sizeof() the sigcontext->regs anywhere. But we should
still fix it to avoid confusion and future bugs.

Back when I added -Werror in commit ba55bd74360e ("powerpc: Add
configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc") I did it by adding it to most
of the arch Makefiles.
At the time we excluded math-emu, because apparently it didn't build
cleanly. But that seems to have been fixed somewhere in the interim.
So move the -Werror addition to the top-level of the arch, this saves
us from repeating it in every Makefile and means we won't forget to
add it to any new sub-dirs.

This is a nice cleanup, arch/powerpc/Makefile is long and messy so
moving this out helps a little.
It also allows us to do:
$ make arch/powerpc
Which can be helpful if you just want to compile test some changes to
arch code and not link everything.
Finally it also gives us a single place to do subdir-cc-flags
assignments which affect the whole of arch/powerpc, which we will do
in a future patch.

Adds a driver that implements support for enabling and accessing PAPR

use the existing of_pmem driver (yet) because:
a) The guest is required to use the H_SCM_BIND_MEM h-call to add
add the SCM region to it's physical address space, and
b) There is currently no mechanism for relating a bare of_pmem region

Krait CPUs have a handful of L2 cache controller registers that
live behind a cp15 based indirection register. First you program
the indirection register (l2cpselr) to point the L2 'window'
register (l2cpdr) at what you want to read/write. Then you
read/write the 'window' register to do what you want. The
l2cpselr register is not banked per-cpu so we must lock around
accesses to it to prevent other CPUs from re-pointing l2cpdr
underneath us.

With live migration support and finally a good solution for exception
event injection, nested VMX should be ready for having a stable userspace
ABI. The results of syzkaller fuzzing are not perfect but not horrible
either (and might be partially due to running on GCE, so that effectively
we're testing three-level nesting on a fork of upstream KVM!). Enabling
it by default seems like a nice way to conclude the 4.20 pull request. :)
Unfortunately, enabling nested SVM in 2009 (commit 4b6e4dca701) was a
bit premature. However, until live migration support is in place we can
reasonably expect that it does not offer much in terms of ABI guarantees.
Therefore we are still in time to break things and conform as much as
possible to the interface used for VMX.

This is a per-VM capability which can be enabled by userspace so that
the faulting linear address will be included with the information
about a pending #PF in L2, and the "new DR6 bits" will be included
with the information about a pending #DB in L2. With this capability
enabled, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #PF before CR2 is
modified. Under VMX, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #DB before
DR6 and DR7 are modified.
When userspace has enabled KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, it should
generally provide an appropriate payload when injecting a #PF or #DB
exception via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS. However, to support restoring old
checkpoints, this payload is not required.
Note that bit 16 of the "new DR6 bits" is set to indicate that a debug
exception (#DB) or a breakpoint exception (#BP) occurred inside an RTM
region while advanced debugging of RTM transactional regions was
enabled. This is the reverse of DR6.RTM, which is cleared in this
scenario.
This capability also enables exception.pending in struct
kvm_vcpu_events, which allows userspace to distinguish between pending
and injected exceptions.
