With HV KVM, some high-frequency hypercalls such as H_ENTER are handled
in real mode, and need to access the memslots array for the guest.
Accessing the memslots array is safe, because we hold the SRCU read
lock for the whole time that a guest vcpu is running. However, the
checks that kvm_memslots() does when lockdep is enabled are potentially
unsafe in real mode, when only the linear mapping is available.
Furthermore, kvm_memslots() can be called from a secondary CPU thread,
which is an offline CPU from the point of view of the host kernel,
and is not running the task which holds the SRCU read lock.
To avoid false positives in the checks in kvm_memslots(), and to avoid
possible side effects from doing the checks in real mode, this replaces
kvm_memslots() with kvm_memslots_raw() in all the places that execute
in real mode. kvm_memslots_raw() is a new function that is like
kvm_memslots() but uses rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() instead of
kvm_dereference_check().

The in-kernel emulation of RTAS functions needs to read the argument
buffer from guest memory in order to find out what function is being
requested. The guest supplies the guest physical address of the buffer,
and on a real system the code that reads that buffer would run in guest
real mode. In guest real mode, the processor ignores the top 4 bits
of the address specified in load and store instructions. In order to
emulate that behaviour correctly, we need to mask off those bits
before calling kvm_read_guest() or kvm_write_guest(). This adds that
masking.

When the guest does an MMIO write which is handled successfully by an
ioeventfd, ioeventfd_write() returns 0 (success) and
kvmppc_handle_store() returns EMULATE_DONE. Then
kvmppc_emulate_mmio() converts EMULATE_DONE to RESUME_GUEST_NV and
this causes an exit from the loop in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv(), causing an
exit back to userspace with a bogus exit reason code, typically
causing userspace (e.g. qemu) to crash with a message about an unknown
exit code.
This adds handling of RESUME_GUEST_NV in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv() in order
to fix that. For generality, we define a helper to check for either
of the return-to-guest codes we use, RESUME_GUEST and RESUME_GUEST_NV,
to make it easy to check for either and provide one place to update if
any other return-to-guest code gets defined in future.
Since it only affects Book3S HV for now, the helper is added to
the kvm_book3s.h header file.
We use the helper in two places in kvmppc_run_core() as well for
future-proofing, though we don't see RESUME_GUEST_NV in either place
at present.

The DABRX (DABR extension) register on POWER7 processors provides finer
control over which accesses cause a data breakpoint interrupt. It
contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user,
kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint
interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode
accesses to cause interrupts. Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow
both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest.
This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX.
PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR
and DABRX with one call. This adds a real-mode implementation of
H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR
implementation. To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the
DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface.
For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add
"hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions
property in the device tree. If userspace does this and then migrates
the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then
userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified
DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface. In that case, the
old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL. That should
still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests
cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't
requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set
DABRX_BTI.
The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work
on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X. Guests that
know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but
guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR.
For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values
on POWER8.

Currently in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S we have three places where we
have woken up from nap mode and we check the reason field in SRR1
to see what event woke us up. This consolidates them into a new
function, kvmppc_check_wake_reason. It looks at the wake reason
field in SRR1, and if it indicates that an external interrupt caused
the wakeup, calls kvmppc_read_intr to check what sort of interrupt
it was.
This also consolidates the two places where we synthesize an external
interrupt (0x500 vector) for the guest. Now, if the guest exit code
finds that there was an external interrupt which has been handled
(i.e. it was an IPI indicating that there is now an interrupt pending
for the guest), it jumps to deliver_guest_interrupt, which is in the
last part of the guest entry code, where we synthesize guest external
and decrementer interrupts. That code has been streamlined a little
and now clears LPCR[MER] when appropriate as well as setting it.
The extra clearing of any pending IPI on a secondary, offline CPU
thread before going back to nap mode has been removed. It is no longer
necessary now that we have code to read and acknowledge IPIs in the
guest exit path.
This fixes a minor bug in the H_CEDE real-mode handling - previously,
if we found that other threads were already exiting the guest when we
were about to go to nap mode, we would branch to the cede wakeup path
and end up looking in SRR1 for a wakeup reason. Now we branch to a
point after we have checked the wakeup reason.
This also fixes a minor bug in kvmppc_read_intr - previously it could
return 0xff rather than 1, in the case where we find that a host IPI
is pending after we have cleared the IPI. Now it returns 1.

On a threaded processor such as POWER7, we group VCPUs into virtual
cores and arrange that the VCPUs in a virtual core run on the same
physical core. Currently we don't enforce any correspondence between
virtual thread numbers within a virtual core and physical thread
numbers. Physical threads are allocated starting at 0 on a first-come
first-served basis to runnable virtual threads (VCPUs).
POWER8 implements a new "msgsndp" instruction which guest kernels can
use to interrupt other threads in the same core or sub-core. Since
the instruction takes the destination physical thread ID as a parameter,
it becomes necessary to align the physical thread IDs with the virtual
thread IDs, that is, to make sure virtual thread N within a virtual
core always runs on physical thread N.
This means that it's possible that thread 0, which is where we call
__kvmppc_vcore_entry, may end up running some other vcpu than the
one whose task called kvmppc_run_core(), or it may end up running
no vcpu at all, if for example thread 0 of the virtual core is
currently executing in userspace. However, we do need thread 0
to be responsible for switching the MMU -- a previous version of
this patch that had other threads switching the MMU was found to
be responsible for occasional memory corruption and machine check
interrupts in the guest on POWER7 machines.
To accommodate this, we no longer pass the vcpu pointer to
__kvmppc_vcore_entry, but instead let the assembly code load it from
the PACA. Since the assembly code will need to know the kvm pointer
and the thread ID for threads which don't have a vcpu, we move the
thread ID into the PACA and we add a kvm pointer to the virtual core
structure.
In the case where thread 0 has no vcpu to run, it still calls into
kvmppc_hv_entry in order to do the MMU switch, and then naps until
either its vcpu is ready to run in the guest, or some other thread
needs to exit the guest. In the latter case, thread 0 jumps to the
code that switches the MMU back to the host. This control flow means
that now we switch the MMU before loading any guest vcpu state.
Similarly, on guest exit we now save all the guest vcpu state before
switching the MMU back to the host. This has required substantial
code movement, making the diff rather large.

MMIO emulation reads the last instruction executed by the guest

or more generally in a different endian order of the host, the

This patch adds a helper routine which tests the endian order of
the host and the guest in order to decide whether a byteswap is
needed or not. It is then used to byteswap the last instruction
of the guest in the endian order of the host before MMIO emulation
is performed.
Finally, kvmppc_handle_load() of kvmppc_handle_store() are modified
to reverse the endianness of the MMIO if required.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Two major features that Xen community is excited about:
The first is event channel scalability by David Vrabel - we switch
over from an two-level per-cpu bitmap of events (IRQs) - to an FIFO
queue with priorities. This lets us be able to handle more events,
have lower latency, and better scalability. Good stuff.
The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor. In short, PV is a mode where the
kernel lets the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc. With
EPT/NPT capabilities in current processors, the overhead of doing this
in an HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) container is much lower than the
hypervisor doing it for us.
In short we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment,
syscall, etc updates through the hypervisor - instead it is all done
within the guest container. It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH'
name - a PV guest within an HVM container.
The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only
use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function
calls); faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the
hypervisor); less traps on various operations; etc.
It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone. But it is
pretty awesome and we are excited about it.
Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple
conflict which has been resolved in #linux-next.
In short, this pull has awesome features.

- FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000

Nothing major here, just bugfixes all over the place. The most
interesting part is the ARM guys' virtualized interrupt controller
overhaul, which lets userspace get/set the state and thus enables
migration of ARM VMs.

A lot of attention was paid to improving the thin-provisioning target's
handling of metadata operation failures and running out of space. A new
'error_if_no_space' feature was added to allow users to error IOs rather
than queue them when either the data or metadata space is exhausted.
Additional fixes/features include:
- a few fixes to properly support thin metadata device resizing
- a solution for reliably waiting for a DM device's embedded kobject to
be released before destroying the device
- old dm-snapshot is updated to use the dm-bufio interface to take
advantage of readahead capabilities that improve snapshot activation
- new dm-cache target tunables to control how quickly data is promoted
to the cache (fast) device
- improved write efficiency of cluster mirror target by combining
userspace flush and mark requests

triggers by Tom Zanussi. A trigger is a way to enable an action when an
event is hit. The actions are:
o trace on/off - enable or disable tracing
o snapshot - save the current trace buffer in the snapshot
o stacktrace - dump the current stack trace to the ringbuffer
o enable/disable events - enable or disable another event
Namhyung Kim added updates to the tracing uprobes code. Having the
