Martin Schwidefsky e143fa93c2 s390/mm: limit STACK_RND_MASK for compat tasks
For compat tasks the mmap randomization does not use the maximum
randomization value from mmap_rnd_mask but the fixed value of 0x7ff.
This needs to be respected in the definition of STACK_RND_MASK as
well.

Michael Mueller 981467c930 KVM: s390: include guest facilities in kvm facility test
Most facility related decisions in KVM have to take into account:

- the facilities offered by the underlying run container (LPAR/VM)
- the facilities supported by the KVM code itself
- the facilities requested by a guest VM

This patch adds the KVM driver requested facilities to the test routine.

It additionally renames struct s390_model_fac to kvm_s390_fac and its field
names to be more meaningful.

The semantics of the facilities stored in the KVM architecture structure
is changed. The address arch.model.fac->list now points to the guest
facility list and arch.model.fac->mask points to the KVM facility mask.

This patch fixes the behaviour of KVM for some facilities for guests
that ignore the guest visible facility bits, e.g. guests could use
transactional memory intructions on hosts supporting them even if the
chosen cpu model would not offer them.

The userspace interface is not affected by this change.

Martin Schwidefsky 691d526415 s390/mm: fix incorrect ASCE after crst_table_downgrade
The switch_mm function does nothing in case the prev and next mm
are the same. It can happen that a crst_table_downgrade has changed
the top-level pgd in the meantime on a different CPU. Always store
the new ASCE to be picked up in entry.S.

[heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com]: Bug was introduced with git commit
53e857f308 ("s390/mm,tlb: race of lazy TLB flush vs. recreation
of TLB entries") and causes random crashes due to broken page tables

Kirill A. Shutemov c07af4f1ce mm: add missing __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED defines
Core mm expects __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED to be defined if these page
table levels folded.  Usually, these defines are provided by
<asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h> and <asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h>.

But some architectures fold page table levels in a custom way.  They
need to define these macros themself.  This patch adds missing defines.

The patch fixes mm->nr_pmds underflow and eliminates dead __pmd_alloc()
and __pud_alloc() on architectures without these page table levels.

Christian Borntraeger fb3d1c085c s390: let the compiler do page clearing
The hardware folks told me that for page clearing "when you exactly
know what to do, hand written xc+pfd is usally faster then mvcl for
page clearing, as it saves millicode overhead and parameter parsing
and checking" as long as you dont need the cache bypassing.
Turns out that gcc already does a proper xc,pfd loop.

A small test on z196 that does

buff = mmap(NULL, bufsize,PROT_EXEC|PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,AP_PRIVATE| MAP_ANONYMOUS,0,0);
for ( i = 0; i < bufsize; i+= 256)
    buff[i] = 0x5;

gets 20% faster (touches every cache line of a page)

and

buff = mmap(NULL, bufsize,PROT_EXEC|PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,AP_PRIVATE| MAP_ANONYMOUS,0,0);
for ( i = 0; i < bufsize; i+= 4096)
    buff[i] = 0x5;

is within noise ratio (touches one cache line of a page).

As the clear_page is usually called for first memory accesses
we can assume that at least one cache line is used afterwards,
so this change should be always better.
Another benchmark, a make -j 40 of my testsuite in tmpfs with
hot caches on a 32cpu system:

 -- unpatched --       --  patched  --
real     0m1.017s     real     0m0.994s   (~2% faster, but in noise)
user     0m5.339s     user     0m5.016s   (~6% faster)
sys      0m0.691s     sys      0m0.632s   (~8% faster)

Let use the same define to memset as the asm-generic variant

Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.

  Common:
     Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
     instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other
     architectures).  This can improve latency up to 50% on some
     scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This
     also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to
     auto-tune this in the future.

  ARM/ARM64:
     The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
     tracking

  s390:
     Several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
     exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
     it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)

  MIPS:
     Bugfixes.

  x86:
     Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
     Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
     virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
     usual round of emulation fixes.

     There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
     timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.

     Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
     have already included his tree.

  Powerpc:
     Nothing yet.

     The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
     because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
     offline for some part of next week"

Andy Lutomirski f56141e3e2 all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

Heiko Carstens da0c636ea7 s390/topology: convert cpu_topology array to per cpu variable
Convert the per cpu topology cpu masks to a per cpu variable.
At least for machines which do have less possible cpus than NR_CPUS this can
save a bit of memory (z/VM: max 64 vs 512 for performance_defconfig).

This reduces the kernel image size by 100k.

Heiko Carstens d05d15da18 s390/topology: delay initialization of topology cpu masks
There is no reason to initialize the topology cpu masks already while
setup_arch() is being called. It is sufficient to initialize the masks
before the scheduler becomes SMP aware.
Therefore a pre-SMP initcall aka early_initcall is suffucient.

This also allows to convert the cpu_topology array into a per cpu
variable with a later patch. Without this patch this wouldn't be
possible since the per cpu memory areas are not allocated while setup_arch
is executed.

Kirill A. Shutemov d016bf7ece mm: make FIRST_USER_ADDRESS unsigned long on all archs
LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
pmd page tables to the process":

    mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
 >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]

The code:

 > 2857                WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) >
   2858                                round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT);

In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0.  round_up() has
the same type -- int.  PUD_SHIFT.

I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long.  On every arch for consistency.

facility list are stored in the architecture specific cpu model structure.

During vcpu setup, these properties are taken to initialize the related SIE
state. This mechanism allows to adjust the properties from user space and thus
to implement different selectable cpu models.

This patch uses the IBC functionality to block instructions that have not
been implemented at the requested CPU type and GA level compared to the
full host capability.

Userspace has to initialize the cpu model before vcpu creation. A cpu model
change of running vcpus is not possible.

Michael Mueller 9d8d578605 KVM: s390: use facilities and cpu_id per KVM
The patch introduces facilities and cpu_ids per virtual machine.
Different virtual machines may want to expose different facilities and
cpu ids to the guest, so let's make them per-vm instead of global.

Tony Krowiak 45c9b47c58 KVM: s390/CPACF: Choose crypto control block format
We need to specify a different format for the crypto control block
depending on whether the APXA facility is installed or not. Let's
test for it by executing the PQAP(QCI) function and use either a
format-1 or a format-2 crypto control block accordingly. This is a
host only change for z13 and does not affect the guest view.

Ekaterina Tumanova f3d0bd6c7f s390/kernel: Update /proc/sysinfo file with Extended Name and UUID
A new architecture extends STSI 3.2.2 with UUID and long names. KVM
will provide the first implementation. This patch adds the additional
data  fields (Extended Name and UUID) from the 4KB block returned by
the STSI 3.2.2 command and reflect this information in the
/proc/sysinfo file accordingly.

Paolo Bonzini f781951299 kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.

This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest.  KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too.  When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.

With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest.  This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.

Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host.  The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.

The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter.  It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.

While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls.  During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark.  The wasted time is thus very low.  Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.

The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer.  Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns.  For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.
