5975a2e095 KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add API for in-kernel XICS emulation
This adds the API for userspace to instantiate an XICS device in a VM
and connect VCPUs to it.  The API consists of a new device type for
the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl, a new capability KVM_CAP_IRQ_XICS, which
functions similarly to KVM_CAP_IRQ_MPIC, and the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl,
which is used to assert and deassert interrupt inputs of the XICS.

The XICS device has one attribute group, KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES.
Each attribute within this group corresponds to the state of one
interrupt source.  The attribute number is the same as the interrupt
source number.

This does not support irq routing or irqfd yet.

This adds the ability for userspace to save and restore the state
of the XICS interrupt presentation controllers (ICPs) via the
KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG interface.  Since there is one ICP per vcpu, we
simply define a new 64-bit register in the ONE_REG space for the ICP
state.  The state includes the CPU priority setting, the pending IPI
priority, and the priority and source number of any pending external
interrupt.

8e591cb720 KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add infrastructure to implement kernel-side RTAS calls
For pseries machine emulation, in order to move the interrupt
controller code to the kernel, we need to intercept some RTAS
calls in the kernel itself.  This adds an infrastructure to allow
in-kernel handlers to be registered for RTAS services by name.
A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN, then allows userspace to
associate token values with those service names.  Then, when the
guest requests an RTAS service with one of those token values, it
will be handled by the relevant in-kernel handler rather than being
passed up to userspace as at present.

517b731477 powerpc/ptrace: Add DAWR debug feature info for userspace
This adds new debug feature information so that the DAWR can be
identified by userspace tools like GDB.

Unfortunately the DAWR doesn't sit nicely into the current description
that ptrace provides to userspace via struct ppc_debug_info.  It doesn't
allow for specifying that only some ranges are possible or even the end
alignment constraints (DAWR only allows 512 byte wide ranges which can't
cross a 512 byte boundary).

After talking to Edjunior Machado (GDB ppc developer), it was decided
this was the best approach.  Just mark it as debug feature DAWR and
tools like GDB can internally decide the constraints.

Keller, Jacob E
7d4c04fc17 net: add option to enable error queue packets waking select
Currently, when a socket receives something on the error queue it only wakes up
the socket on select if it is in the "read" list, that is the socket has
something to read. It is useful also to wake the socket if it is in the error
list, which would enable software to wait on error queue packets without waking
up for regular data on the socket. The main use case is for receiving
timestamped transmit packets which return the timestamp to the socket via the
error queue. This enables an application to select on the socket for the error
queue only instead of for the regular traffic.

78accda4f8 KVM: PPC: Added one_reg interface for timer registers
If userspace wants to change some specific bits of TSR
(timer status register) then it uses GET/SET_SREGS ioctl interface.
So the steps will be:
      i)   user-space will make get ioctl,
      ii)  change TSR in userspace
      iii) then make set ioctl.
It can happen that TSR gets changed by kernel after step i) and
before step iii).

To avoid this we have added below one_reg ioctls for oring and clearing
specific bits in TSR. This patch adds one registerface for:
     1) setting specific bit in TSR (timer status register)
     2) clearing specific bit in TSR (timer status register)
     3) setting/getting the TCR register. There are cases where we want to only
        change TCR and not TSR. Although we can uses SREGS without
        KVM_SREGS_E_UPDATE_TSR flag but I think one reg is better. I am open
        if someone feels we should use SREGS only here.
     4) getting/setting TSR register

Linus Torvalds
9d3cae26ac Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "So from the depth of frozen Minnesota, here's the powerpc pull request
  for 3.9.  It has a few interesting highlights, in addition to the
  usual bunch of bug fixes, minor updates, embedded device tree updates
  and new boards:

   - Hand tuned asm implementation of SHA1 (by Paulus & Michael
     Ellerman)

   - Support for Doorbell interrupts on Power8 (kind of fast
     thread-thread IPIs) by Ian Munsie

   - Long overdue cleanup of the way we handle relocation of our open
     firmware trampoline (prom_init.c) on 64-bit by Anton Blanchard

   - Support for saving/restoring & context switching the PPR (Processor
     Priority Register) on server processors that support it.  This
     allows the kernel to preserve thread priorities established by
     userspace.  By Haren Myneni.

   - DAWR (new watchpoint facility) support on Power8 by Michael Neuling

   - Ability to change the DSCR (Data Stream Control Register) which
     controls cache prefetching on a running process via ptrace by
     Alexey Kardashevskiy

   - Support for context switching the TAR register on Power8 (new
     branch target register meant to be used by some new specific
     userspace perf event interrupt facility which is yet to be enabled)
     by Ian Munsie.

   - Improve preservation of the CFAR register (which captures the
     origin of a branch) on various exception conditions by Paulus.

   - Move the Bestcomm DMA driver from arch powerpc to drivers/dma where
     it belongs by Philippe De Muyter

   - Support for Transactional Memory on Power8 by Michael Neuling
     (based on original work by Matt Evans).  For those curious about
     the feature, the patch contains a pretty good description."

(See commit db8ff90702: "powerpc: Documentation for transactional
memory on powerpc" for the mentioned description added to the file
Documentation/powerpc/transactional_memory.txt)
