ca8723023f KVM: s390: use hrtimer for clock wakeup from idle - v2
This patch reworks the s390 clock comparator wakeup to hrtimer. The clock
comparator is a per-cpu value that is compared against the TOD clock. If
ckc <= TOD an external interrupt 1004 is triggered. Since the clock comparator
and the TOD clock have a much higher resolution than jiffies we should use
hrtimers to trigger the wakeup. This speeds up guest nanosleep for small
values.

Since hrtimers callbacks run in hard-irq context, I added a tasklet to do
the actual work with enabled interrupts.

e1c805309d [S390] /proc/stat idle field for idle cpus
The cpu idle field in the output of /proc/stat is too small for cpus
that have been idle for more than a tick. Add the architecture hook
arch_idle_time that allows to add the not accounted idle time of a
sleeping cpu without waking the cpu.

The s390 implementation of arch_idle_time uses the already existing
s390_idle_data per_cpu variable to find the sleep time of a neighboring
idle cpu.

into boxed state. With this patch we have the following behaviour:
 * the ccw driver will get a notification if the device was online and
   goes into the boxed state
 * if the device was disconnected and got boxed nothing special is to be
   done (it will be handled in reprobing later)
 * if the device got boxed while initial sensing it will be unregistered

92e6ecf392 [S390] Fix hypervisor detection for KVM
Currently we use the cpuid (via STIDP instruction) to recognize LPAR,
z/VM and KVM.
The architecture states, that bit 0-7 of STIDP returns all zero, and
if STIDP is executed in a virtual machine, the VM operating system
will replace bits 0-7 with FF.

KVM should not use FE to distinguish z/VM from KVM for interested
guests. The proper way to detect the hypervisor is the STSI (Store
System Information) instruction, which return information about the
hypervisors via function code 3, selector1=2, selector2=2.

This patch changes the detection routine of Linux to use STSI instead
of STIDP. This detection is earlier than bootmem, we have to use a
static buffer. Since STSI expects a 4kb block (4kb aligned) this
patch also changes the init.data alignment for s390. As this section
will be freed during boot, this should be no problem.

Patch is tested with LPAR, z/VM, KVM on LPAR, and KVM under z/VM.

d0bfb940ec KVM: New guest debug interface
This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.

To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.

The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.

Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

this. Change TASK_SIZE/TASK_SIZE_OF to reflect the current size of the
address space. This makes the generic page table walker happy but it

23d75d9cad [S390] fix "mem=" handling in case of standby memory
Standby memory detected with the sclp interface gets always registered
with add_memory calls without considering the limitationt that the
"mem=" kernel paramater implies.
So fix this and only register standby memory that is below the specified
limit.
This fixes zfcpdump since it uses "mem=32M". In case there is appr.
2GB standby memory present all of usable memory would be used for the
struct pages needed for standby memory.

d5cd0343d2 [S390] Fix timeval regression on s390
commit aa5e97ce4b
[PATCH] improve precision of process accounting.

Introduced a timing regression:
-bash-3.2# time ls
real    0m0.006s
user    0m1.754s
sys     0m1.094s

The problem was introduced by an error in cputime_to_timeval.
Cputime is now 1/4096 microsecond, therefore, we have to divide
the remainder with 4096 to get the microseconds.

cb9eff0978 net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packets
User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.

When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.

The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.

d5e842c4b7 [S390] vdso: fix per cpu vdso pointer in lowcore
The vdso_per_cpu_data entry in the lowcore structure uses __u32
instead of __u64. If the data page is above 4GB the pointer is
truncated and the kernel crashes.

03e4c49f84 [S390] personality: fix personality loss on execve
Use the personality() macro to mask out all bits that are not
relevant for the personality type.
The personality field contains bits for other things as well,
so without masking out the not relevalent bits the comparison
won't do what is expected.
