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.

We finally have all the pieces in place, so let's include the
vector facility bit in the mask of available hardware facilities
for the guest to recognize. Also, enable the vector functionality
in the guest control blocks, to avoid a possible vector data
exception that would otherwise occur when a vector instruction
is issued by the guest operating system.

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.

Most facility related decisions in KVM have to take into account:
- the facilities offered by the underlying run container (LPAR/VM)
- the facilities supported by the KVM code itself
- the facilities requested by a guest VM
This patch adds the KVM driver requested facilities to the test routine.
It additionally renames struct s390_model_fac to kvm_s390_fac and its field
names to be more meaningful.
The semantics of the facilities stored in the KVM architecture structure
is changed. The address arch.model.fac->list now points to the guest
facility list and arch.model.fac->mask points to the KVM facility mask.
This patch fixes the behaviour of KVM for some facilities for guests
that ignore the guest visible facility bits, e.g. guests could use
transactional memory intructions on hosts supporting them even if the
chosen cpu model would not offer them.
The userspace interface is not affected by this change.

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

There is no reason to initialize the topology cpu masks already while
setup_arch() is being called. It is sufficient to initialize the masks
before the scheduler becomes SMP aware.
Therefore a pre-SMP initcall aka early_initcall is suffucient.
This also allows to convert the cpu_topology array into a per cpu
variable with a later patch. Without this patch this wouldn't be
possible since the per cpu memory areas are not allocated while setup_arch
is executed.

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.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

Make use of gcc's hotpatch support to generate better code for ftrace
function tracing.
The generated code now contains only a six byte nop in each function
prologue instead of a 24 byte code block which will be runtime patched to
support function tracing.
With the new code generation the runtime overhead for supporting function
tracing is close to zero, while the original code did show a significant

Christian Borntraeger reported that the now missing diag 44 calls (voluntary
time slice end) does cause a performance regression for stop_machine() calls
if a machine has more virtual cpus than the host has physical cpus.
This patch mainly reverts 57f2ffe14f ("s390: remove diag 44 calls from
cpu_relax()") with the exception that we still do not issue diag 44 calls if
running with smt enabled. Due to group scheduling algorithms when running in
LPAR this would lead to significant latencies.
However, when running in LPAR we do not have more virtual than physical cpus.

Most SIGP orders are handled partially in kernel and partially in
user space. In order to:
- 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.

SIGP EXTERNAL CALL orders have to return whether another external

The new local interrupt infrastructure is used to track pending stop

STOP irqs are the only irqs that don't get actively delivered. They
remain pending until the stop function is executed (=stop intercept).
If another STOP irq is already pending, -EBUSY will now be returned

The multi-threading facility is introduced with the z13 processor family.
This patch adds code to detect the multi-threading facility. With the
facility enabled each core will surface multiple hardware threads to the
system. Each hardware threads looks like a normal CPU to the operating
system with all its registers and properties.
The SCLP interface reports the SMT topology indirectly via the maximum
thread id. Each reported CPU in the result of a read-scp-information
is a core representing a number of hardware threads.
To reflect the reduced CPU capacity if two hardware threads run on a
single core the MT utilization counter set is used to normalize the
raw cputime obtained by the CPU timer deltas. This scaled cputime is
reported via the taskstats interface. The normal /proc/stat numbers
are based on the raw cputime and are not affected by the normalization.

For C language, it treats array parameter as a pointer, so sizeof for an

Chen's patch actually fixes a bug within the get_tod_clock_ext() inline assembly
where we incorrectly tell the compiler that only 8 bytes of memory get changed

This would allow gcc to generate incorrect code. Right now this doesn't seem to

...
There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and
wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers
and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be. For
example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync
instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed
is an lsync or eieio instruction.
This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers
rmb() and wmb(). In most cases this should result in the barrier being the
same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a
barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb(). For example on
ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows:
Barrier Call Explanation
--------- -------- ----------------------------------
rmb() dsb() Data synchronization barrier - system
dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable
smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable
These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb().
Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent
memories. The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of
reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the
CPU and a device.
It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb(). Most architectures don't
provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without
resorting to the same mechanism used in mb(). As such there isn't much to
be gained in trying to define such a function.

This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and
smp_read_barrier_depends. In multiple spots in the kernel headers
read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go
into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference
read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty
do/while.
With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions
and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header. In addition I
moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that
defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the

As there are now no remaining users of arch_fast_hash(), lets kill
it entirely.
This basically reverts commit 71ae8aac3e ("lib: introduce arch
optimized hash library") and follow-up work, that is f.e., commit
237217546d ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"),
commit e3fec2f74f ("lib: Add missing arch generic-y entries for
asm-generic/hash.h") and last but not least commit 6a02652df5
("perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures").

Pull x86 MPX support from Thomas Gleixner:
"This enables support for x86 MPX.
MPX is a new debug feature for bound checking in user space. It
requires kernel support to handle the bound tables and decode the
bound violating instruction in the trap handler"
