25d8d4eeca Merge tag 'powerpc-5.9-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.

 - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
   Power9 or later.

 - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
   unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
   to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
   userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.

 - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
   checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
   architectures.

 - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
   code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
   systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.

 - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.

 - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
   stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.

 - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
   usual.

5752fe0b81 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore new PMU registers
Power ISA v3.1 has added new performance monitoring unit (PMU) special
purpose registers (SPRs). They are:

Monitor Mode Control Register 3 (MMCR3)
Sampled Instruction Event Register A (SIER2)
Sampled Instruction Event Register B (SIER3)

Add support to save/restore these new SPRs while entering/exiting
guest. Also include changes to support KVM_REG_PPC_MMCR3/SIER2/SIER3.
Add new SPRs to KVM API documentation.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions

Commit 850448f35a ("KVM: nVMX: Fix VMX preemption timer migration",
2020-06-01) accidentally broke nVMX live migration from older version
by changing the userspace ABI.  Restore it and, while at it, ensure
that vmx->nested.has_preemption_timer_deadline is always initialized
according to the KVM_STATE_VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER_DEADLINE flag.

Current implementation keeps userspace input of CPUID configuration and
cpuid->nent even if kvm_update_cpuid() fails. Reset vcpu->arch.cpuid_nent
to 0 for the case of failure as a simple fix.

Besides, update the doc to explicitly state that if IOCTL SET_CPUID*
fail KVM gives no gurantee that previous valid CPUID configuration is
kept.

1aa561b1a4 kvm: x86: Add "last CPU" to some KVM_EXIT information
More often than not, a failed VM-entry in an x86 production
environment is induced by a defective CPU. To help identify the bad
hardware, include the id of the last logical CPU to run a vCPU in the
information provided to userspace on a KVM exit for failed VM-entry or
for KVM internal errors not associated with emulation. The presence of
this additional information is indicated by a new capability,
KVM_CAP_LAST_CPU.

f7d31e6536 x86/kvm/hyper-v: Explicitly align hcall param for kvm_hyperv_exit
The problem the patch is trying to address is the fact that 'struct
kvm_hyperv_exit' has different layout on when compiling in 32 and 64 bit
modes.

In 64-bit mode the default alignment boundary is 64 bits thus
forcing extra gaps after 'type' and 'msr' but in 32-bit mode the
boundary is at 32 bits thus no extra gaps.

This is an issue as even when the kernel is 64 bit, the userspace using
the interface can be both 32 and 64 bit but the same 32 bit userspace has
to work with 32 bit kernel.

The issue is fixed by forcing the 64 bit layout, this leads to ABI
change for 32 bit builds and while we are obviously breaking '32 bit
userspace with 32 bit kernel' case, we're fixing the '32 bit userspace
with 64 bit kernel' one.

As the interface has no (known) users and 32 bit KVM is rather baroque
nowadays, this seems like a reasonable decision.

557a961abb KVM: x86: acknowledgment mechanism for async pf page ready notifications
If two page ready notifications happen back to back the second one is not
delivered and the only mechanism we currently have is
kvm_check_async_pf_completion() check in vcpu_run() loop. The check will
only be performed with the next vmexit when it happens and in some cases
it may take a while. With interrupt based page ready notification delivery
the situation is even worse: unlike exceptions, interrupts are not handled
immediately so we must check if the slot is empty. This is slow and
unnecessary. Introduce dedicated MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_ACK MSR to communicate
the fact that the slot is free and host should check its notification
queue. Mandate using it for interrupt based 'page ready' APF event
delivery.

As kvm_check_async_pf_completion() is going away from vcpu_run() we need
a way to communicate the fact that vcpu->async_pf.done queue has
transitioned from empty to non-empty state. Introduce
kvm_arch_async_page_present_queued() and KVM_REQ_APF_READY to do the job.

2635b5c4a0 KVM: x86: interrupt based APF 'page ready' event delivery
Concerns were expressed around APF delivery via synthetic #PF exception as
in some cases such delivery may collide with real page fault. For 'page
ready' notifications we can easily switch to using an interrupt instead.
Introduce new MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_INT mechanism and deprecate the legacy one.

One notable difference between the two mechanisms is that interrupt may not
get handled immediately so whenever we would like to deliver next event
(regardless of its type) we must be sure the guest had read and cleared
previous event in the slot.

While on it, get rid on 'type 1/type 2' names for APF events in the
documentation as they are causing confusion. Use 'page not present'
and 'page ready' everywhere instead.

c862626e19 KVM: arm64: Support enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
There is already support of enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks
for x86 in commit 3c9bd4006b ("KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in
small chunks"). This adds support for arm64.

x86 still writes protect all huge pages when DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_ALL_SET
is enabled. However, for arm64, both huge pages and normal pages can be
write protected gradually by userspace.

Under the Huawei Kunpeng 920 2.6GHz platform, I did some tests on 128G
Linux VMs with different page size. The memory pressure is 127G in each
case. The time taken of memory_global_dirty_log_start in QEMU is listed
below:

Page Size      Before    After Optimization
  4K            650ms         1.8ms
  2M             4ms          1.8ms
  1G             2ms          1.8ms

Besides the time reduction, the biggest improvement is that we will minimize
the performance side effect (because of dissolving huge pages and marking
memslots dirty) on guest after enabling dirty log.

35c5999005 docs: kvm: Fix KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL API doc
The KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL ioctl signals to supported KVM guests
that the hypervisor has paused it. Update the documentation to
reflect that the guest is notified by this API.
