d6dbdd3c85 KVM: arm/arm64: Handle possible NULL stage2 pud when ageing pages
Under memory pressure, we start ageing pages, which amounts to parsing
the page tables. Since we don't want to allocate any extra level,
we pass NULL for our private allocation cache. Which means that
stage2_get_pud() is allowed to fail. This results in the following
splat:

d68356cc51 KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-v3: Fix nr_pre_bits bitfield extraction
We used to extract PRIbits from the ICH_VT_EL2 which was the upper field
in the register word, so a mask wasn't necessary, but as we switched to
looking at PREbits, which is bits 26 through 28 with the PRIbits field
being potentially non-zero, we really need to mask off the field value,
otherwise fun things may happen.

28232a4317 KVM: arm/arm64: Fix isues with GICv2 on GICv3 migration
We have been a little loose with our intermediate VMCR representation
where we had a 'ctlr' field, but we failed to differentiate between the
GICv2 GICC_CTLR and ICC_CTLR_EL1 layouts, and therefore ended up mapping
the wrong bits into the individual fields of the ICH_VMCR_EL2 when
emulating a GICv2 on a GICv3 system.

Fix this by using explicit fields for the VMCR bits instead.

552c9f47f8 KVM: arm/arm64: Fix bug when registering redist iodevs
If userspace creates the VCPUs after initializing the VGIC, then we end
up in a situation where we trigger a bug in kvm_vcpu_get_idx(), because
it is called prior to adding the VCPU into the vcpus array on the VM.

There is no tight coupling between the VCPU index and the area of the
redistributor region used for the VCPU, so we can simply ensure that all
creations of redistributors are serialized per VM, and increment an
offset when we successfully add a redistributor.

The vgic_register_redist_iodev() function can be called from two paths:
vgic_redister_all_redist_iodev() which is called via the kvm_vgic_addr()
device attribute handler.  This patch already holds the kvm->lock mutex.

The other path is via kvm_vgic_vcpu_init, which is called through a
longer chain from kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu(), which releases the
kvm->lock mutex just before calling kvm_arch_vcpu_create(), so we can
simply take this mutex again later for our purposes.

0c428a6a92 kvm: arm/arm64: Fix use after free of stage2 page table
We yield the kvm->mmu_lock occassionaly while performing an operation
(e.g, unmap or permission changes) on a large area of stage2 mappings.
However this could possibly cause another thread to clear and free up
the stage2 page tables while we were waiting for regaining the lock and
thus the original thread could end up in accessing memory that was
freed. This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the stage2
pagetable is still valid after we regain the lock. The fact that
mmu_notifer->release() could be called twice (via __mmu_notifier_release
and mmu_notifier_unregsister) enhances the possibility of hitting
this race where there are two threads trying to unmap the entire guest
shadow pages.

While at it, cleanup the redudant checks around cond_resched_lock in
stage2_wp_range(), as cond_resched_lock already does the same checks.

6c0d706b56 kvm: arm/arm64: Fix race in resetting stage2 PGD
In kvm_free_stage2_pgd() we check the stage2 PGD before holding
the lock and proceed to take the lock if it is valid. And we unmap
the page tables, followed by releasing the lock. We reset the PGD
only after dropping this lock, which could cause a race condition
where another thread waiting on or even holding the lock, could
potentially see that the PGD is still valid and proceed to perform
a stage2 operation and later encounter a NULL PGD.

15d2bffdde KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-v3: Use PREbits to infer the number of ICH_APxRn_EL2 registers
The GICv3 documentation is extremely confusing, as it talks about
the number of priorities represented by the ICH_APxRn_EL2 registers,
while it should really talk about the number of preemption levels.

This leads to a bug where we may access undefined ICH_APxRn_EL2
registers, since PREbits is allowed to be smaller than PRIbits.
Thankfully, nobody seem to have taken this path so far...

The fix is to use ICH_VTR_EL2.PREbits instead.

67723c25ce KVM: arm/arm64: Don't call map_resources when restoring ITS tables
The only reason we called kvm_vgic_map_resources() when restoring the
ITS tables was because we wanted to have the KVM iodevs registered in
the KVM IO bus framework at the time when the ITS was restored such that
a restored and active device can inject MSIs prior to otherwise calling
kvm_vgic_map_resources() from the first run of a VCPU.

Since we now register the KVM iodevs for the redestributors and ITS as
soon as possible (when setting the base addresses), we no longer need
this call and kvm_vgic_map_resources() is again called only when first
running a VCPU.

All we need to register the ITS io device is the base address of the
ITS, so we can simply register that when the base address of the ITS is
set.

9a746d75c0 KVM: arm/arm64: Make vgic_v3_check_base more broadly usable
As we are about to fiddle with the IO device registration mechanism,
let's be a little more careful when setting base addresses as early as
possible.  When setting a base address, we can check that there's
address space enough for its scope and when the last of the two
base addresses (dist and redist) get set, we can also check if the
regions overlap at that time.

This allows us to provide error messages to the user at time when trying
to set the base address, as opposed to later when trying to run the VM.

To do this,  we make vgic_v3_check_base available in the core vgic-v3
code as well as in the other parts of the GICv3 code, namely the MMIO
config code.

We also return true for undefined base addresses so that the function
can be used before all base addresses are set; all callers already check
for uninitialized addresses before calling this function.

7fadcd3a85 KVM: arm/arm64: Refactor vgic_register_redist_iodevs
Split out the function to register all the redistributor iodevs into a
function that handles a single redistributor at a time in preparation
for being able to call this per VCPU as these get created.

4415b33528 Merge branch 'kvm-ppc-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc into HEAD
The main thing here is a new implementation of the in-kernel
XICS interrupt controller emulation for POWER9 machines, from Ben
Herrenschmidt.

POWER9 has a new interrupt controller called XIVE (eXternal Interrupt
Virtualization Engine) which is able to deliver interrupts directly
to guest virtual CPUs in hardware without hypervisor intervention.
With this new code, the guest still sees the old XICS interface but
performance is better because the XICS emulation in the host uses the
XIVE directly rather than going through a XICS emulation in firmware.

3bed8888ed KVM: set no_llseek in stat_fops_per_vm
In vm_stat_get_per_vm_fops and vcpu_stat_get_per_vm_fops, since we
use nonseekable_open() to open, we should use no_llseek() to seek,
not generic_file_llseek().

This function really doesn't init anything, it enables the CPU
interface, so name it as such, which gives us the name to use for actual
init work later on.

a7c3e901a4 mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers
Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.

There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree.  Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.

As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.

Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead.  This is patch 6.  There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com

This patch (of 9):

Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code.  Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers.  Some of them are
really creative when doing so.  Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly.  This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures.  This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.

This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them.  In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL).  Those need to be
fixed separately.

While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers.  Existing ones would have to die
slowly.
