      KVM: s390: gs support for kvm guests · 4e0b1ab7
      Fan Zhang authored
      This patch adds guarded storage support for KVM guest. We need to
      setup the necessary control blocks, the kvm_run structure for the
      new registers, the necessary wrappers for VSIE, as well as the
      machine check save areas.
      GS is enabled lazily and the register saving and reloading is done in
      KVM code.  As this feature adds new content for migration, we provide
      a new capability for enablement (KVM_CAP_S390_GS).

      s390: add a system call for guarded storage · 916cda1a
      Martin Schwidefsky authored
      This adds a new system call to enable the use of guarded storage for
      user space processes. The system call takes two arguments, a command
      and pointer to a guarded storage control block:
      
          s390_guarded_storage(int command, struct gs_cb *gs_cb);
      
      The second argument is relevant only for the GS_SET_BC_CB command.
      
      The commands in detail:
      
      0 - GS_ENABLE
          Enable the guarded storage facility for the current task. The
          initial content of the guarded storage control block will be
          all zeros. After the enablement the user space code can use
          load-guarded-storage-controls instruction (LGSC) to load an
          arbitrary control block. While a task is enabled the kernel
          will save and restore the current content of the guarded
          storage registers on context switch.
      1 - GS_DISABLE
          Disables the use of the guarded storage facility for the current
          task. The kernel will cease to save and restore the content of
          the guarded storage registers, the task specific content of
          these registers is lost.
      2 - GS_SET_BC_CB
          Set a broadcast guarded storage control block. This is called
          per thread and stores a specific guarded storage control block
          in the task struct of the current task. This control block will
          be used for the broadcast event GS_BROADCAST.
      3 - GS_CLEAR_BC_CB
          Clears the broadcast guarded storage control block. The guarded-
          storage control block is removed from the task struct that was
          established by GS_SET_BC_CB.
      4 - GS_BROADCAST
          Sends a broadcast to all thread siblings of the current task.
          Every sibling that has established a broadcast guarded storage
          control block will load this control block and will be enabled
          for guarded storage. The broadcast guarded storage control block
          is used up, a second broadcast without a refresh of the stored
          control block with GS_SET_BC_CB will not have any effect.

      remoteproc: qcom: fix QCOM_SMD dependencies · c3104aae
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      qcom_smd_register_edge() is provided by either QCOM_SMD or RPMSG_QCOM_SMD,
      and if both of them are disabled, it does nothing.
      
      The check for the PIL drivers however only checks for QCOM_SMD, so it breaks
      with QCOM_SMD=n && RPMSG_QCOM_SMD=m:
      
      drivers/remoteproc/built-in.o: In function `smd_subdev_remove':
      qcom_wcnss_iris.c:(.text+0x231c): undefined reference to `qcom_smd_unregister_edge'
      drivers/remoteproc/built-in.o: In function `smd_subdev_probe':
      qcom_wcnss_iris.c:(.text+0x2344): undefined reference to `qcom_smd_register_edge'

      qcom_q6v5_pil.c:(.text+0x3538): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against undefined symbol `qcom_smd_register_edge'
      
      This clarifies the Kconfig dependency.

      f2fs: combine nat_bits and free_nid_bitmap cache · 7041d5d2
      Chao Yu authored
      Both nat_bits cache and free_nid_bitmap cache provide same functionality
      as a intermediate cache between free nid cache and disk, but with
      different granularity of indicating free nid range, and different
      persistence policy. nat_bits cache provides better persistence ability,
      and free_nid_bitmap provides better granularity.
      
      In this patch we combine advantage of both caches, so finally policy of
      the intermediate cache would be:
      - init: load free nid status from nat_bits into free_nid_bitmap
      - lookup: scan free_nid_bitmap before load NAT blocks
      - update: update free_nid_bitmap in real-time
      - persistence: udpate and persist nat_bits in checkpoint
      
      This patch also resolves performance regression reported by lkp-robot.

      mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache · 452b94b8
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
      reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
      cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
      actually problematic afaik.
      
      I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
      I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
      the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
      it but not bring the machine down.
