While the userspace interface requests the maximum size the gmap code
expects to get a maximum address.
This error resulted in bigger page tables than necessary for some guest
sizes, e.g. a 2GB guest used 3 levels instead of 2.
At the same time we introduce KVM_S390_NO_MEM_LIMIT, which allows in a
bright future that a guest spans the complete 64 bit address space.
We also switch to TASK_MAX_SIZE for the initial memory size, this is a
cosmetic change as the previous size also resulted in a 4 level pagetable
creation.

At some call sites of rmap_get_first() and rmap_get_next(), BUG_ON is
placed right after the call to detect unrelated sptes which must not be
found in the reverse-mapping list.
Move this check in rmap_get_first/next() so that all call sites, not
just the users of the for_each_rmap_spte() macro, will be checked the
same way.
One thing to keep in mind is that kvm_mmu_unlink_parents() also uses
rmap_get_first() to handle parent sptes. The change will not break it
because parent sptes are present, at least until drop_parent_pte()
actually unlinks them, and not mmio-sptes.

SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension,
which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU
- 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to
trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI
semantics
- a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message
slots
- an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT
event flag areas
The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the
corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area.
The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by
explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM)
MSR.
The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications
via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each
configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT
mapping.
Changes v4:
* added activation of SynIC by vcpu KVM_ENABLE_CAP
* added per SynIC active flag
* added deactivation of APICv upon SynIC activation
Changes v3:
* added KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC and KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_HV_SINT notes into
docs
Changes v2:
* do not use posted interrupts for Hyper-V SynIC AutoEOI vectors
* add Hyper-V SynIC vectors into EOI exit bitmap
* Hyper-V SyniIC SINT msr write logic simplified

In order to enable userspace PIC support, the userspace PIC needs to
be able to inject local interrupts even when the APICs are in the
kernel.
KVM_INTERRUPT now supports sending local interrupts to an APIC when
APICs are in the kernel.
The ready_for_interrupt_request flag is now only set when the CPU/APIC
will immediately accept and inject an interrupt (i.e. APIC has not
masked the PIC).
When the PIC wishes to initiate an INTA cycle with, say, CPU0, it
kicks CPU0 out of the guest, and renedezvous with CPU0 once it arrives
in userspace.
When the CPU/APIC unmasks the PIC, a KVM_EXIT_IRQ_WINDOW_OPEN is
triggered, so that userspace has a chance to inject a PIC interrupt
if it had been pending.
Overall, this design can lead to a small number of spurious userspace
renedezvous. In particular, whenever the PIC transistions from low to
high while it is masked and whenever the PIC becomes unmasked while
it is low.
Note: this does not buffer more than one local interrupt in the
kernel, so the VMM needs to enter the guest in order to complete
interrupt injection before injecting an additional interrupt.
Compiles for x86.
Can pass the KVM Unit Tests.

In order to support a userspace IOAPIC interacting with an in kernel
APIC, the EOI exit bitmaps need to be configurable.
If the IOAPIC is in userspace (i.e. the irqchip has been split), the
EOI exit bitmaps will be set whenever the GSI Routes are configured.
In particular, for the low MSI routes are reservable for userspace
IOAPICs. For these MSI routes, the EOI Exit bit corresponding to the
destination vector of the route will be set for the destination VCPU.
The intention is for the userspace IOAPICs to use the reservable MSI
routes to inject interrupts into the guest.
This is a slight abuse of the notion of an MSI Route, given that MSIs
classically bypass the IOAPIC. It might be worthwhile to add an
additional route type to improve clarity.

Adds KVM_EXIT_IOAPIC_EOI which allows the kernel to EOI
level-triggered IOAPIC interrupts.
Uses a per VCPU exit bitmap to decide whether or not the IOAPIC needs
to be informed (which is identical to the EOI_EXIT_BITMAP field used
by modern x86 processors, but can also be used to elide kvm IOAPIC EOI
exits on older processors).
[Note: A prototype using ResampleFDs found that decoupling the EOI
from the VCPU's thread made it possible for the VCPU to not see a
recent EOI after reentering the guest. This does not match real
hardware.]

This adds support for SW breakpoints inserted by userspace.
We do this by trapping all guest software debug exceptions to the
hypervisor (MDCR_EL2.TDE). The exit handler sets an exit reason of
KVM_EXIT_DEBUG with the kvm_debug_exit_arch structure holding the
exception syndrome information.
It will be up to userspace to extract the PC (via GET_ONE_REG) and
determine if the debug event was for a breakpoint it inserted. If not
userspace will need to re-inject the correct exception restart the
hypervisor to deliver the debug exception to the guest.
Any other guest software debug exception (e.g. single step or HW
assisted breakpoints) will cause an error and the VM to be killed. This
is addressed by later patches which add support for the other debug
types.

1. KVM_QUIRK_LINT0_REENABLED - LINT0 was enabled after boot
2. KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED - CD and NW are cleared after boot

Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator.
This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of
generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random
numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency
oscillators and are almost completely entropic.
PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one
64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode
implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was
implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is
generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for
all the threads in the same virtual core.
Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM
implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The
H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest
does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel
H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-next-20150331' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into HEAD
Features and fixes for 4.1 (kvm/next)
1. Assorted changes
1.1 allow more feature bits for the guest
1.2 Store breaking event address on program interrupts
2. Interrupt handling rework
2.1 Fix copy_to_user while holding a spinlock (cc stable)
2.2 Rework floating interrupts to follow the priorities
2.3 Allow to inject all local interrupts via new ioctl
2.4 allow to get/set the full local irq state, e.g. for migration
and introspection
This patch adds support to migrate vcpu interrupts. Two new vcpu ioctls
are added which get/set the complete status of pending interrupts in one
go. The ioctls are marked as available with the new capability
KVM_CAP_S390_IRQ_STATE.
We can not use a ONEREG, as the number of pending local interrupts is not
constant and depends on the number of CPUs.
To retrieve the interrupt state we add an ioctl KVM_S390_GET_IRQ_STATE.
Its input parameter is a pointer to a struct kvm_s390_irq_state which
has a buffer and length. For all currently pending interrupts, we copy
a struct kvm_s390_irq into the buffer and pass it to userspace.
To store interrupt state into a buffer provided by userspace, we add an
ioctl KVM_S390_SET_IRQ_STATE. It passes a struct kvm_s390_irq_state into
the kernel and injects all interrupts contained in the buffer.

This fixes a bug introduced with commit c05c4186bb ("KVM: s390:
add floating irq controller").
get_all_floating_irqs() does copy_to_user() while holding
a spin lock. Let's fix this by filling a temporary buffer
first and copy it to userspace after giving up the lock.

Now that the code is in place for KVM to support MIPS SIMD Architecutre
(MSA) in MIPS guests, wire up the new KVM_CAP_MIPS_MSA capability.
For backwards compatibility, the capability must be explicitly enabled
in order to detect or make use of MSA from the guest.
The capability is not supported if the hardware supports MSA vector
partitioning, since the extra support cannot be tested yet and it
extends the state that the userland program would have to save.

Add KVM register numbers for the MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) registers,
and implement access to them with the KVM_GET_ONE_REG / KVM_SET_ONE_REG
ioctls when the MSA capability is enabled (exposed in a later patch) and
present in the guest according to its Config3.MSAP bit.
The MSA vector registers use the same register numbers as the FPU
registers except with a different size (128bits). Since MSA depends on
Status.FR=1, these registers are inaccessible when Status.FR=0. These
registers are returned as a single native endian 128bit value, rather
than least significant half first with each 64-bit half native endian as
the kernel uses internally.

Add Config4 and Config5 co-processor 0 registers, and add capability to
write the Config1, Config3, Config4, and Config5 registers using the KVM
API.
Only supported bits can be written, to minimise the chances of the guest
being given a configuration from e.g. QEMU that is inconsistent with
that being emulated, and as such the handling is in trap_emul.c as it
may need to be different for VZ. Currently the only modification
permitted is to make Config4 and Config5 exist via the M bits, but other
bits will be added for FPU and MSA support in future patches.
Care should be taken by userland not to change bits without fully
handling the possible extra state that may then exist and which the
guest may begin to use and depend on.

The Store System Information (STSI) instruction currently collects all
information it relays to the caller in the kernel. Some information,
however, is only available in user space. An example of this is the
guest name: The kernel always sets "KVMGuest", but user space knows the
actual guest name.
This patch introduces a new exit, KVM_EXIT_S390_STSI, guarded by a
capability that can be enabled by user space if it wants to be able to
insert such data. User space will be provided with the target buffer
and the requested STSI function code.

On s390, we've got to make sure to hold the IPTE lock while accessing
logical memory. So let's add an ioctl for reading and writing logical
memory to provide this feature for userspace, too.
The maximum transfer size of this call is limited to 64kB to prevent
that the guest can trigger huge copy_from/to_user transfers. QEMU
currently only requests up to one or two pages so far, so 16*4kB seems
to be a reasonable limit here.

To cleanly restore an SMP VM we need to ensure that the current pause
state of each vcpu is correctly recorded. Things could get confused if
the CPU starts running after migration restore completes when it was
paused before it state was captured.
We use the existing KVM_GET/SET_MP_STATE ioctl to do this. The arm/arm64
interface is a lot simpler as the only valid states are
KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE and KVM_MP_STATE_STOPPED.

This patch enables irqfd on arm/arm64.
Both irqfd and resamplefd are supported. Injection is implemented
in vgic.c without routing.
This patch enables CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD and CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.
KVM_CAP_IRQFD is now advertised. KVM_CAP_IRQFD_RESAMPLE capability
automatically is advertised as soon as CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD is set.
Irqfd injection is restricted to SPI. The rationale behind not
supporting PPI irqfd injection is that any device using a PPI would
be a private-to-the-CPU device (timer for instance), so its state
would have to be context-switched along with the VCPU and would
require in-kernel wiring anyhow. It is not a relevant use case for
irqfds.

Define and allocate space for both the host and guest views of
the vector registers for a given vcpu. The 32 vector registers
occupy 128 bits each (512 bytes total), but architecturally are
paired with 512 additional bytes of reserved space for future
expansion.
The kvm_sync_regs structs containing the registers are union'ed
with 1024 bytes of padding in the common kvm_run struct. The
addition of 1024 bytes of new register information clearly exceeds
the existing union, so an expansion of that padding is required.
When changing environments, we need to appropriately save and
restore the vector registers viewed by both the host and guest,
into and out of the sync_regs space.
The floating point registers overlay the upper half of vector
registers 0-15, so there's a bit of data duplication here that
needs to be carefully avoided.

This patch enables cpu model support in kvm/s390 via the vm attribute
interface.
During KVM initialization, the host properties cpuid, IBC value and the
facility list are stored in the architecture specific cpu model structure.
During vcpu setup, these properties are taken to initialize the related SIE
state. This mechanism allows to adjust the properties from user space and thus
to implement different selectable cpu models.
This patch uses the IBC functionality to block instructions that have not
been implemented at the requested CPU type and GA level compared to the
full host capability.
Userspace has to initialize the cpu model before vcpu creation. A cpu model
change of running vcpus is not possible.

Most SIGP orders are handled partially in kernel and partially in

- Get a correct SIGP SET PREFIX handler that informs user space
- Avoid race conditions between concurrently executed SIGP orders
- Serialize SIGP orders per VCPU
We need to handle all "slow" SIGP orders in user space. The remaining
ones to be handled completely in kernel are:
- SENSE
- SENSE RUNNING
- EXTERNAL CALL
- EMERGENCY SIGNAL
- CONDITIONAL EMERGENCY SIGNAL
According to the PoP, they have to be fast. They can be executed
without conflicting to the actions of other pending/concurrently
executing orders (e.g. STOP vs. START).
This patch introduces a new capability that will - when enabled -
forward all but the mentioned SIGP orders to user space. The
instruction counters in the kernel are still updated.
