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"

KVM: s390: fixes and features for kvm/next (3.20)
1. Generic
- sparse warning (make function static)
- optimize locking
- bugfixes for interrupt injection
- fix MVPG addressing modes
2. hrtimer/wakeup fun
A recent change can cause KVM hangs if adjtime is used in the host.
The hrtimer might wake up too early or too late. Too early is fatal
as vcpu_block will see that the wakeup condition is not met and
sleep again. This CPU might never wake up again.
This series addresses this problem. adjclock slowing down the host
clock will result in too late wakeups. This will require more work.
In addition to that we also change the hrtimer from REALTIME to
MONOTONIC to avoid similar problems with timedatectl set-time.
3. sigp rework
We will move all "slow" sigps to QEMU (protected with a capability that
can be enabled) to avoid several races between concurrent SIGP orders.
4. Optimize the shadow page table
Provide an interface to announce the maximum guest size. The kernel
will use that to make the pagetable 2,3,4 (or theoretically) 5 levels.
5. Provide an interface to set the guest TOD
We now use two vm attributes instead of two oneregs, as oneregs are
vcpu ioctl and we don't want to call them from other threads.
6. Protected key functions
The real HMC allows to enable/disable protected key CPACF functions.
Lets provide an implementation + an interface for QEMU to activate
this the protected key instructions.
The return value of kvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate is not checked in its
caller. This is okay, because only x86 provides vcpu_postcreate right
now and it could only fail if vcpu_load failed. But that is not
possible during KVM_CREATE_VCPU (kvm_arch_vcpu_load is void, too), so
just get rid of the unchecked return value.

With everything separated and prepared, we implement a model of a
GICv3 distributor and redistributors by using the existing framework
to provide handler functions for each register group.
Currently we limit the emulation to a model enforcing a single
security state, with SRE==1 (forcing system register access) and
ARE==1 (allowing more than 8 VCPUs).
We share some of the functions provided for GICv2 emulation, but take
the different ways of addressing (v)CPUs into account.
Save and restore is currently not implemented.
Similar to the split-off of the GICv2 specific code, the new emulation
code goes into a new file (vgic-v3-emul.c).

Currently we unconditionally register the GICv2 emulation device
during the host's KVM initialization. Since with GICv3 support we
may end up with only v2 or only v3 or both supported, we move the
registration into the GIC probing function, where we will later know
which combination is valid.

Current linear search doesn't scale well when
large amount of memslots is used and looked up slot
is not in the beginning memslots array.
Taking in account that memslots don't overlap, it's
possible to switch sorting order of memslots array from
'npages' to 'base_gfn' and use binary search for
memslot lookup by GFN.
As result of switching to binary search lookup times
are reduced with large amount of memslots.
Following is a table of search_memslot() cycles
during WS2008R2 guest boot.

In typical guest boot workload only 2-3 memslots are used
extensively, and at that it's mostly the same memslot
lookup operation.
Adding LRU cache improves average lookup time from
46 to 28 cycles (~40%) for this workload.

Memory regions may be incoherent with the caches, typically when the

This reverts commit 85c8555ff0 ("KVM: check for !is_zero_pfn() in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") and renames the function to kvm_is_reserved_pfn.
The problem being addressed by the patch above was that some ARM code
based the memory mapping attributes of a pfn on the return value of
kvm_is_mmio_pfn(), whose name indeed suggests that such pfns should
be mapped as device memory.
However, kvm_is_mmio_pfn() doesn't do quite what it says on the tin,
and the existing non-ARM users were already using it in a way which
suggests that its name should probably have been 'kvm_is_reserved_pfn'
from the beginning, e.g., whether or not to call get_page/put_page on
it etc. This means that returning false for the zero page is a mistake
and the patch above should be reverted.

[duplicate, different patch where the kvm-arm version broke x86.
The kvm tree instead has the right one]
Currently, the APIC access page is pinned by KVM for the entire life
of the guest. We want to make it migratable in order to make memory
hot-unplug available for machines that run KVM.
This patch prepares to handle this in generic code, through a new
request bit (that will be set by the MMU notifier) and a new hook
that is called whenever the request bit is processed.

When KVM handles a tdp fault it uses FOLL_NOWAIT. If the guest memory
has been swapped out or is behind a filemap, this will trigger async
readahead and return immediately. The rationale is that KVM will kick
back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other
guest process to take over.
If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async
workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In
either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will
block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users
now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency.
This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the
fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case
of IO wait.
