Nested virtualization will have to enable own gmaps. Current code
would enable the wrong gmap whenever scheduled out and back in,
therefore resulting in the wrong gmap being enabled.
This patch reenables the last enabled gmap, therefore avoiding having to
touch vcpu->arch.gmap when enabling a different gmap.

We can easily support real-space designation just like EDAT1 and EDAT2.
So guest2 can provide for guest3 an asce with the real-space control being
set.
We simply have to allocate the biggest page table possible and fake all
levels.
There is no protection to consider. If we exceed guest memory, vsie code
will inject an addressing exception (via program intercept). In the future,
we could limit the fake table level to the gmap page table.
As the top level page table can never go away, such gmap shadows will never
get unshadowed, we'll have to come up with another way to limit the number
of kept gmap shadows.

If the guest is enabled for EDAT2, we can easily create shadows for
guest2 -> guest3 provided tables that make use of EDAT2.
If guest2 references a 2GB page, this memory looks consecutive for guest2,
but it does not have to be so for us. Therefore we have to create fake
segment and page tables.
This works just like EDAT1 support, so page tables are removed when the
parent table (r3t table entry) is changed.
We don't hve to care about:
- ACCF-Validity Control in RTTE
- Access-Control Bits in RTTE
- Fetch-Protection Bit in RTTE
- Common-Region Bit in RTTE
Just like for EDAT1, all bits might be dropped and there is no guaranteed
that they are active.

If the guest is enabled for EDAT1, we can easily create shadows for
guest2 -> guest3 provided tables that make use of EDAT1.
If guest2 references a 1MB page, this memory looks consecutive for guest2,
but it might not be so for us. Therefore we have to create fake page tables.
We can easily add that to our existing infrastructure. The invalidation
mechanism will make sure that fake page tables are removed when the parent
table (sgt table entry) is changed.
As EDAT1 also introduced protection on all page table levels, we have to
also shadow these correctly.
We don't have to care about:
- ACCF-Validity Control in STE
- Access-Control Bits in STE
- Fetch-Protection Bit in STE
- Common-Segment Bit in STE
As all bits might be dropped and there is no guaranteed that they are
active ("unpredictable whether the CPU uses these bits", "may be used").
Without using EDAT1 in the shadow ourselfes (STE-format control == 0),
simply shadowing these bits would not be enough. They would be ignored.
Please note that we are using the "fake" flag to make this look consistent
with further changes (EDAT2, real-space designation support) and don't let
the shadow functions handle fc=1 stes.
In the future, with huge pages in the host, gmap_shadow_pgt() could simply
try to map a huge host page if "fake" is set to one and indicate via return
value that no lower fake tables / shadow ptes are required.

In preparation for EDAT1/EDAT2 support for gmap shadows, we have to store
the requested edat level in the gmap shadow.
The edat level used during shadow translation is a property of the gmap
shadow. Depending on that level, the gmap shadow will look differently for
the same guest tables. We have to store it internally in order to support
it later.

Before any thread is allowed to use a gmap_shadow, it has to be fully
initialized. However, for invalidation to work properly, we have to
register the new gmap_shadow before we protect the parent gmap table.
Because locking is tricky, and we have to avoid duplicate gmaps, let's
introduce an initialized field, that signalizes other threads if that
gmap_shadow can already be used or if they have to retry.
Let's properly return errors using ERR_PTR() instead of simply returning
NULL, so a caller can properly react on the error.

We really want to avoid manually handling protection for nested
virtualization. By shadowing pages with the protection the guest asked us
for, the SIE can handle most protection-related actions for us (e.g.
special handling for MVPG) and we can directly forward protection
exceptions to the guest.
PTEs will now always be shadowed with the correct _PAGE_PROTECT flag.
Unshadowing will take care of any guest changes to the parent PTE and
any host changes to the host PTE. If the host PTE doesn't have the
fitting access rights or is not available, we have to fix it up.

For a nested KVM guest the outer KVM host needs to create shadow
page tables for the nested guest. This patch adds the basic support
to the guest address space (gmap) code.
For each guest address space the inner KVM host creates, the first
outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables. The address space
is identified by the ASCE loaded into the control register 1 at the
time the inner SIE instruction for the second nested KVM guest is
executed. The outer KVM host creates the shadow tables starting with
the table identified by the ASCE on a on-demand basis. The outer KVM
host will get repeated faults for all the shadow tables needed to
run the second KVM guest.
While a shadow page table for the second KVM guest is active the access
to the origin region, segment and page tables needs to be restricted
for the first KVM guest. For region and segment and page tables the first
KVM guest may read the memory, but write attempt has to lead to an
unshadow. This is done using the page invalid and read-only bits in the
page table of the first KVM guest. If the first guest re-accesses one of
the origin pages of a shadow, it gets a fault and the affected parts of
the shadow page table hierarchy needs to be removed again.
PGSTE tables don't have to be shadowed, as all interpretation assist can't
deal with the invalid bits in the shadow pte being set differently than
the original ones provided by the first KVM guest.

The current gmap pte notifier forces a pte into to a read-write state.
If the pte is invalidated the gmap notifier is called to inform KVM
that the mapping will go away.
Extend this approach to allow read-write, read-only and no-access
as possible target states and call the pte notifier for any change
to the pte.
This mechanism is used to temporarily set specific access rights for
a pte without doing the heavy work of a true mprotect call.

We have certain instructions that indicate available subfunctions via
a query subfunction (crypto functions and ptff), or via a test bit
function (plo).
By exposing these "subfunction blocks" to user space, we allow user space
to
1) query available subfunctions and make sure subfunctions won't get lost
during migration - e.g. properly indicate them via a CPU model
2) change the subfunctions to be reported to the guest (even adding
unavailable ones)
This mechanism works just like the way we indicate the stfl(e) list to
user space.
This way, user space could even emulate some subfunctions in QEMU in the
future. If this is ever applicable, we have to make sure later on, that
unsupported subfunctions result in an intercept to QEMU.
Please note that support to indicate them to the guest is still missing
and requires hardware support. Usually, the IBC takes already care of these
subfunctions for migration safety. QEMU should make sure to always set
these bits properly according to the machine generation to be emulated.
Available subfunctions are only valid in combination with STFLE bits
retrieved via KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE and enabled via
KVM_S390_VM_CPU_PROCESSOR. If the applicable bits are available, the
indicated subfunctions are guaranteed to be correct.

ESOP guarantees that during a protection exception, bit 61 of real location
168-175 will only be set to 1 if it was because of ALCP or DATP. If the
exception is due to LAP or KCP, the bit will always be set to 0.
The old SOP definition allowed bit 61 to be unpredictable in case of LAP
or KCP in some conditions. So ESOP replaces this unpredictability by
a guarantee.
Therefore, we can directly forward ESOP if it is available on our machine.
We don't have to do anything when ESOP is disabled - the guest will simply
expect unpredictable values. Our guest access functions are already
handling ESOP properly.
Please note that future functionality in KVM will require knowledge about
ESOP being enabled for a guest or not.

For now, we only have an interface to query and configure facilities
indicated via STFL(E). However, we also have features indicated via
SCLP, that have to be indicated to the guest by user space and usually
require KVM support.
This patch allows user space to query and configure available cpu features
for the guest.
Please note that disabling a feature doesn't necessarily mean that it is
completely disabled (e.g. ESOP is mostly handled by the SIE). We will try
our best to disable it.
Most features (e.g. SCLP) can't directly be forwarded, as most of them need
in addition to hardware support, support in KVM. As we later on want to
turn these features in KVM explicitly on/off (to simulate different
behavior), we have to filter all features provided by the hardware and

intensive, but also has to get hold of the ipte lock to write to the

This lock is not intended to be held often and long, especially not
from the untrusted guest userspace. Therefore we apply rate limiting

on. This includes information about the cpu configuration of both the
machine and the lpar, as well as their names, machine model and
machine type. This information enables an application to determine the
maximum capacity of CPs and IFLs available to software.
The instruction is available whenever the facility bit 74 is set,
otherwise executing it results in an operation exception.
It is important to check the validity flags in the sections before

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).
Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).

Christoffer Dall (KVM-ARM maintainer) says:
"There are a few changes in this pull request touching things
outside KVM, but they should all carry the necessary acks and it
made the merge process much easier to do it this way."
though actually the irqchip maintainers' acks didn't make it into the
patches. Marc Zyngier, who is both irqchip and KVM-ARM maintainer,
later acked at http://mid.gmane.org/573351D1.4060303@arm.com ('more
formally and for documentation purposes')"

"The s390 patches for the 4.7 merge window have the usual bug fixes and
cleanups, and the following new features:
- An interface for dasd driver to query if a volume is online to
another operating system
- A new ioctl for the dasd driver to verify the format for a range of
tracks
- Following the example of x86 the struct fpu is now allocated with
the task_struct
- The 'report_error' interface for the PCI bus to send an
adapter-error notification from user space to the service element
of the machine"

asynchronously with minimum latencies and without deadlock worries"

on s390 we disabled the halt polling with commit 920552b213
("KVM: disable halt_poll_ns as default for s390x"), as floating
interrupts would let all CPUs have a successful poll, resulting
in much higher CPU usage (on otherwise idle systems).
With the improved selection of polls we can now retry halt polling.
Performance measurements with different choices like 25,50,80,100,200
microseconds showed that 80 microseconds seems to improve several cases
without increasing the CPU costs too much. Higher values would improve
the performance even more but increased the cpu time as well.
So let's start small and use this value of 80 microseconds on s390 until
we have a better understanding of cost/benefit of higher values.

Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.
For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.
This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
while still providing a proper speedup.
This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
wakeups that are considered not good for polling.
