Commit caaa4c80 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix physical address calculations") unfortunately resulted in some low-order address bits getting dropped in the case where the guest is creating a 4k HPTE and the host page size is 64k. By getting the low-order bits from hva rather than gpa we miss out on bits 12 - 15 in this case, since hva is at page granularity. This puts the missing bits back in.

Commit ce11e48b ("KVM: PPC: E500: Add userspace debug stub support") added "struct thread_struct" to the stack of kvmppc_vcpu_run(). thread_struct is 1152 bytes on my build, compared to 48 bytes for the recently-introduced "struct debug_reg". Use the latter instead. This fixes the following error: cc1: warnings being treated as errors arch/powerpc/kvm/booke.c: In function 'kvmppc_vcpu_run': arch/powerpc/kvm/booke.c:760:1: error: the frame size of 1424 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kvm/booke.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kvm] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Now that the svcpu sync is interrupt aware we can enable interrupts earlier in the exit code path again, moving 32bit and 64bit closer together. While at it, document the fact that we're always executing the exit path with interrupts enabled so that the next person doesn't trap over this. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

As soon as we get back to our "highmem" handler in virtual address space we may get preempted. Today the reason we can get preempted is that we replay interrupts and all the lazy logic thinks we have interrupts enabled. However, it's not hard to make the code interruptible and that way we can enable and handle interrupts even earlier. This fixes random guest crashes that happened with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y for me.

The kvmppc_copy_{to,from}_svcpu functions are publically visible, so we should also export them in a header for others C files to consume. So far we didn't need this because we only called it from asm code. The next patch will introduce a C caller. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

We call a C helper to save all svcpu fields into our vcpu. The C ABI states that r12 is considered volatile. However, we keep our exit handler id in r12 currently. So we need to save it away into a non-volatile register instead that definitely does get preserved across the C call. This bug usually didn't hit anyone yet since gcc is smart enough to generate code that doesn't even need r12 which means it stayed identical throughout the call by sheer luck. But we can't rely on that. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Since kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte() is called from both virtmode and realmode, so it can trigger the deadlock. Suppose the following scene: Two physical cpuM, cpuN, two VM instances A, B, each VM has a group of vcpus. If on cpuM, vcpu_A_1 holds bitlock X (HPTE_V_HVLOCK), then is switched out, and on cpuN, vcpu_A_2 try to lock X in realmode, then cpuN will be caught in realmode for a long time. What makes things even worse if the following happens, On cpuM, bitlockX is hold, on cpuN, Y is hold. vcpu_B_2 try to lock Y on cpuM in realmode vcpu_A_2 try to lock X on cpuN in realmode Oops! deadlock happens Signed-off-by: Liu Ping Fan <pingfank@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Some users have reported instances of the host hanging with secondary threads of a core waiting for the primary thread to exit the guest, and the primary thread stuck in nap mode. This prompted a review of the memory barriers in the guest entry/exit code, and this is the result. Most of these changes are the suggestions of Dean Burdick <deanburdick@us.ibm.com>. The barriers between updating napping_threads and reading the entry_exit_count on the one hand, and updating entry_exit_count and reading napping_threads on the other, need to be isync not lwsync, since we need to ensure that either the napping_threads update or the entry_exit_count update get seen. It is not sufficient to order the load vs. lwarx, as lwsync does; we need to order the load vs. the stwcx., so we need isync. In addition, we need a full sync before sending IPIs to wake other threads from nap, to ensure that the write to the entry_exit_count is visible before the IPI occurs.

This fixes a bug in kvmppc_do_h_enter() where the physical address for a page can be calculated incorrectly if transparent huge pages (THP) are active. Until THP came along, it was true that if we encountered a large (16M) page in kvmppc_do_h_enter(), then the associated memslot must be 16M aligned for both its guest physical address and the userspace address, and the physical address calculations in kvmppc_do_h_enter() assumed that. With THP, that is no longer true. In the case where we are using MMU notifiers and the page size that we get from the Linux page tables is larger than the page being mapped by the guest, we need to fill in some low-order bits of the physical address. Without THP, these bits would be the same in the guest physical address (gpa) and the host virtual address (hva). With THP, they can be different, and we need to use the bits from hva rather than gpa. In the case where we are not using MMU notifiers, the host physical address we get from the memslot->arch.slot_phys[] array already includes the low-order bits down to the PAGE_SIZE level, even if we are using large pages. Thus we can simplify the calculation in this case to just add in the remaining bits in the case where PAGE_SIZE is 64k and the guest is mapping a 4k page. The same bug exists in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault(). The basic fix is to use psize (the page size from the HPTE) rather than pte_size (the page size from the Linux PTE) when updating the HPTE low word in r. That means that pfn needs to be computed to PAGE_SIZE granularity even if the Linux PTE is a huge page PTE. That can be arranged simply by doing the page_to_pfn() before setting page to the head of the compound page. If psize is less than PAGE_SIZE, then we need to make sure we only update the bits from PAGE_SIZE upwards, in order not to lose any sub-page offset bits in r. On the other hand, if psize is greater than PAGE_SIZE, we need to make sure we don't bring in non-zero low order bits in pfn, hence we mask (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) with ~(psize - 1).

There was a lot of work on the PPC side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view. On the x86 side there are nested virtualization improvements and a few bugfixes. ARM got transparent huge page support, improved overcommit, and support for big endian guests. Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO. This helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "This has tons of fixes and two major features which are concentrated around the Xen SWIOTLB library. The short <blurb> is that the tracing facility (just one function) has been added to SWIOTLB to make it easier to track I/O progress. Additionally under Xen and ARM (32 & 64) the Xen-SWIOTLB driver "is used to translate physical to machine and machine to physical addresses of foreign[guest] pages for DMA operations" (Stefano) when booting under hardware without proper IOMMU. There are also bug-fixes, cleanups, compile warning fixes, etc. The commit times for some of the commits is a bit fresh - that is b/c we wanted to make sure we have the Ack's from the ARM folks - which with the string of back-to-back conferences took a bit of time. Rest assured - the code has been stewing in #linux-next for some time. Features: - SWIOTLB has tracing added when doing bounce buffer. - Xen ARM/ARM64 can use Xen-SWIOTLB. This work allows Linux to safely program real devices for DMA operations when running as a guest on Xen on ARM, without IOMMU support. [*1] - xen_raw_printk works with PVHVM guests if needed. Bug-fixes: - Make memory ballooning work under HVM with large MMIO region. - Inform hypervisor of MCFG regions found in ACPI DSDT. - Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED. - Remove deprecated __cpuinit. [*1]: "On arm and arm64 all Xen guests, including dom0, run with second stage translation enabled. As a consequence when dom0 programs a device for a DMA operation is going to use (pseudo) physical addresses instead machine addresses. This work introduces two trees to track physical to machine and machine to physical mappings of foreign pages. Local pages are assumed mapped 1:1 (physical address == machine address). It enables the SWIOTLB-Xen driver on ARM and ARM64, so that Linux can translate physical addresses to machine addresses for dma operations when necessary.

ERROR: "__divdi3" [fs/hfsplus/hfsplus.ko] undefined! Introduced by commit 099e9245 ("hfsplus: implement attributes file's header node initialization code"). i_size_read() returns loff_t, which is long long, i.e. 64-bit. node_size is size_t, which is either 32-bit or 64-bit. Hence "i_size_read(attr_file) / node_size" is a 64-by-32 or 64-by-64 division, causing (some versions of) gcc to emit a call to __divdi3(). Fortunately node_size is actually 16-bit, as the sole caller of hfsplus_init_header_node() passes a u16. Hence change its type from size_t to u16, and use do_div() to perform a 64-by-32 division. Not seen in m68k/allmodconfig in -next, so it really depends on the verion of gcc.

It is now safe to put const data into a non const FIFO and the API will now generate a compiler warning when reading from the fifo where the destination address is pointing to a const variable. As a side effect the kfifo_put() does now expect the value of an element instead a pointer to the element. This was suggested Russell King. It make the handling of the kfifo_put easier since there is no need to create a helper variable for getting the address of a pointer or to pass integers of different sizes. IMHO the API break is okay, since there are currently only six users of kfifo_put(). The code is also cleaner by kicking out the "if (0)" expressions.

This commit was incomplete in that code to remove items from the per-cpu lists was missing and never acquired a user in the 5 years it has been in the tree.

For the casual device driver writer, it is hard to remember when to use init_completion (to init a completion structure) or INIT_COMPLETION (to *reinit* a completion structure). Furthermore, while all other completion functions exepct a pointer as a parameter, INIT_COMPLETION does not. To make it easier to remember which function to use and to make code more readable, introduce a new inline function with the proper name and consistent argument type. Update the kernel-doc for init_completion while we are here.

This ignores %n in printf again, as was originally documented. Implementing %n poses a greater security risk than utility, so it should stay ignored. To help anyone attempting to use %n, a warning will be emitted if it is encountered. Based on an earlier patch by Joe Perches. Because %n was designed to write to pointers on the stack, it has been frequently used as an attack vector when bugs are found that leak user-controlled strings into functions that ultimately process format strings. While this class of bug can still be turned into an information leak, removing %n eliminates the common method of elevating such a bug into an arbitrary kernel memory writing primitive, significantly reducing the danger of this class of bug. For seq_file users that need to know the length of a written string for padding, please see seq_setwidth() and seq_pad() instead.

If DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled spinlock_t on x86_64 is 72 bytes. For page->ptl they will be allocated from kmalloc-96 slab, so we loose 24 on each. An average system can easily allocate few tens thousands of page->ptl and overhead is significant. Let's create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation to solve this. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
