The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).
This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.
This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

Pull second round of KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Here are the PPC and ARM changes for KVM, which I separated because
they had small conflicts (respectively within KVM documentation, and
with 3.16-rc changes). Since they were all within the subsystem, I
took care of them.
Stephen Rothwell reported some snags in PPC builds, but they are all
fixed now; the latest linux-next report was clean.
New features for ARM include:
- KVM VGIC v2 emulation on GICv3 hardware
- Big-Endian support for arm/arm64 (guest and host)
- Debug Architecture support for arm64 (arm32 is on Christoffer's todo list)
And for PPC:
- Book3S: Good number of LE host fixes, enable HV on LE
- Book3S HV: Add in-guest debug support
This release drops support for KVM on the PPC440. As a result, the
PPC merge removes more lines than it adds. :)
I also included an x86 change, since Davidlohr tied it to an
independent bug report and the reporter quickly provided a Tested-by;
there was no reason to wait for -rc2"

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This is the powerpc new goodies for 3.17. The short story:
The biggest bit is Michael removing all of pre-POWER4 processor
support from the 64-bit kernel. POWER3 and rs64. This gets rid of a
ton of old cruft that has been bitrotting in a long while. It was
broken for quite a few versions already and nobody noticed. Nobody
uses those machines anymore. While at it, he cleaned up a bunch of
old dusty cabinets, getting rid of a skeletton or two.
Then, we have some base VFIO support for KVM, which allows assigning
of PCI devices to KVM guests, support for large 64-bit BARs on
"powernv" platforms, support for HMI (Hardware Management Interrupts)
on those same platforms, some sparse-vmemmap improvements (for memory
hotplug),
There is the usual batch of Freescale embedded updates (summary in the
merge commit) and fixes here or there, I think that's it for the
highlights"

remap_4k_pfn() silently truncates upper bits of input 4K PFN
if it cannot be contained in PTE. This leads invalid memory mapping and could
result in a system crash when the memory is accessed. This patch fails
remap_4k_pfn() and returns -EINVAL if the input 4K PFN cannot be contained in
PTE.
V3 : Added parentheses to protect 'pfn' and entire macro as suggested by Brian.
V2 : Rewritten to avoid helper function as suggested by Stephen Rothwell.

errors in real mode and then in virtual mode during check_irq_replay()

Now that we are ready to handle HMI interrupt directly in linux, remove

This patch enables M64 aperatus for PHB3.
We already had platform hook (ppc_md.pcibios_window_alignment) to affect
the PCI resource assignment done in PCI core so that each PE's M32 resource
was built on basis of M32 segment size. Similarly, we're using that for
M64 assignment on basis of M64 segment size.
* We're using last M64 BAR to cover M64 aperatus, and it's shared by all
256 PEs.
* We don't support P7IOC yet. However, some function callbacks are added
to (struct pnv_phb) so that we can reuse them on P7IOC in future.
* PE, corresponding to PCI bus with large M64 BAR device attached, might
span multiple M64 segments. We introduce "compound" PE to cover the case.
The compound PE is a list of PEs and the master PE is used as before.
The slave PEs are just for MMIO isolation.

The patch allows PE (struct eeh_pe) instance to have auxillary data,
whose size is configurable on basis of platform. For PowerNV, the
auxillary data will be used to cache PHB diag-data for that PE
(frozen PE or fenced PHB). In turn, we can retrieve the diag-data
at any later points.
It's useful for the case of VFIO PCI devices where the error log
should be cached, and then be retrieved by the guest at later point.
Also, it can avoid PHB diag-data overwritting if another frozen PE
reported and the previous diag-data isn't fetched by guest.

According to the experiment I did, PCI config access is blocked
on P7IOC frozen PE by hardware, but PHB3 doesn't do that. That
means we always get 0xFF's while dumping PCI config space of the
frozen PE on P7IOC. We don't have the problem on PHB3. So we have
to enable I/O prioir to collecting error log. Otherwise, meaningless
0xFF's are always returned.
The patch fixes it by EEH flag (EEH_ENABLE_IO_FOR_LOG), which is
selectively set to indicate the case for: P7IOC on PowerNV platform,
pSeries platform.

We must not handle EEH error on devices which are passed to somebody

We handle FSCR feature bits (well, TAR only really today) lazily when the guest
starts using them. So when a guest activates the bit and later uses that feature
we enable it for real in hardware.
However, when the guest stops using that bit we don't stop setting it in
hardware. That means we can potentially lose a trap that the guest expects to
happen because it thinks a feature is not active.
This patch adds support to drop TAR when then guest turns it off in FSCR. While
at it it also restricts FSCR access to 64bit systems - 32bit ones don't have it.

The general idea is that each core will release all of its
threads into the secondary thread startup code, which will
eventually wait in the secondary core holding area, for the
appropriate bit in the PACA to be set. The kick_cpu function
pointer will set that bit in the PACA, and thus "release"
the core/thread to boot. We also need to do a few things that
U-Boot normally does for CPUs (like enable branch prediction).

Today the instruction emulator can get called via 2 separate code paths. It
can either be called by MMIO emulation detection code or by privileged
instruction traps.
This is bad, as both code paths prepare the environment differently. For MMIO
emulation we already know the virtual address we faulted on, so instructions
there don't have to actually fetch that information.
Split out the two separate use cases into separate files.

The POWER8 processor has a Micro Partition Prefetch Engine, which is
a fancy way of saying "has way to store and load contents of L2 or
L2+MRU way of L3 cache". We initiate the storing of the log (list of
addresses) using the logmpp instruction and start restore by writing
to a SPR.
The logmpp instruction takes parameters in a single 64bit register:
- starting address of the table to store log of L2/L2+L3 cache contents
- 32kb for L2
- 128kb for L2+L3
- Aligned relative to maximum size of the table (32kb or 128kb)
- Log control (no-op, L2 only, L2 and L3, abort logout)
We should abort any ongoing logging before initiating one.
To initiate restore, we write to the MPPR SPR. The format of what to write
to the SPR is similar to the logmpp instruction parameter:
- starting address of the table to read from (same alignment requirements)
- table size (no data, until end of table)
- prefetch rate (from fastest possible to slower. about every 8, 16, 24 or
32 cycles)
The idea behind loading and storing the contents of L2/L3 cache is to
reduce memory latency in a system that is frequently swapping vcores on
a physical CPU.
The best case scenario for doing this is when some vcores are doing very
cache heavy workloads. The worst case is when they have about 0 cache hits,
so we just generate needless memory operations.
This implementation just does L2 store/load. In my benchmarks this proves
to be useful.
Benchmark 1:
- 16 core POWER8
- 3x Ubuntu 14.04LTS guests (LE) with 8 VCPUs each
- No split core/SMT
- two guests running sysbench memory test.
sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=8 run
- one guest running apache bench (of default HTML page)
ab -n 490000 -c 400 http://localhost/
This benchmark aims to measure performance of real world application (apache)
where other guests are cache hot with their own workloads. The sysbench memory
benchmark does pointer sized writes to a (small) memory buffer in a loop.
In this benchmark with this patch I can see an improvement both in requests
per second (~5%) and in mean and median response times (again, about 5%).
The spread of minimum and maximum response times were largely unchanged.
benchmark 2:
- Same VM config as benchmark 1
- all three guests running sysbench memory benchmark
This benchmark aims to see if there is a positive or negative affect to this
cache heavy benchmark. Although due to the nature of the benchmark (stores) we
may not see a difference in performance, but rather hopefully an improvement
in consistency of performance (when vcore switched in, don't have to wait
many times for cachelines to be pulled in)
The results of this benchmark are improvements in consistency of performance
rather than performance itself. With this patch, the few outliers in duration
go away and we get more consistent performance in each guest.
benchmark 3:
- same 3 guests and CPU configuration as benchmark 1 and 2.
- two idle guests
- 1 guest running STREAM benchmark
This scenario also saw performance improvement with this patch. On Copy and
Scale workloads from STREAM, I got 5-6% improvement with this patch. For
Add and triad, it was around 10% (or more).
benchmark 4:
- same 3 guests as previous benchmarks
- two guests running sysbench --memory, distinctly different cache heavy
workload
- one guest running STREAM benchmark.
Similar improvements to benchmark 3.
benchmark 5:
- 1 guest, 8 VCPUs, Ubuntu 14.04
- Host configured with split core (SMT8, subcores-per-core=4)
- STREAM benchmark
In this benchmark, we see a 10-20% performance improvement across the board
of STREAM benchmark results with this patch.

The 440 target hasn't been properly functioning for a few releases and
before I was the only one who fixes a very serious bug that indicates to
me that nobody used it before either.
Furthermore KVM on 440 is slow to the extent of unusable.
We don't have to carry along completely unused code. Remove 440 and give
us one less thing to worry about.

Scott Wood pointed out that We are no longer using SPRG1 for vcpu pointer,
but using SPRN_SPRG_THREAD <=> SPRG3 (thread->vcpu). So this comment
is not valid now.
Note: SPRN_SPRG3R is not supported (do not see any need as of now),
and if we want to support this in future then we have to shift to using
SPRG1 for VCPU pointer.

On book3e, guest last instruction is read on the exit path using load
external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction. This load operation may fail
due to TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries.
This patch lay down the path for an alternative solution to read the guest
last instruction, by allowing kvmppc_get_lat_inst() function to fail.
Architecture specific implmentations of kvmppc_load_last_inst() may read
last guest instruction and instruct the emulation layer to re-execute the
guest in case of failure.
Make kvmppc_get_last_inst() definition common between architectures.

The magic page is defined as a 4k page of per-vCPU data that is shared
between the guest and the host to accelerate accesses to privileged
registers.
However, when the host is using 64k page size granularity we weren't quite
as strict about that rule anymore. Instead, we partially treated all of the
upper 64k as magic page and mapped only the uppermost 4k with the actual
magic contents.
This works well enough for Linux which doesn't use any memory in kernel
space in the upper 64k, but Mac OS X got upset. So this patch makes magic
page actually stay in a 4k range even on 64k page size hosts.
This patch fixes magic page usage with Mac OS X (using MOL) on 64k PAGE_SIZE
hosts for me.

Today we handle split real mode by mapping both instruction and data faults
into a special virtual address space that only exists during the split mode
phase.
This is good enough to catch 32bit Linux guests that use split real mode for
copy_from/to_user. In this case we're always prefixed with 0xc0000000 for our
instruction pointer and can map the user space process freely below there.
However, that approach fails when we're running KVM inside of KVM. Here the 1st
level last_inst reader may well be in the same virtual page as a 2nd level
interrupt handler.
It also fails when running Mac OS X guests. Here we have a 4G/4G split, so a
kernel copy_from/to_user implementation can easily overlap with user space
addresses.
The architecturally correct way to fix this would be to implement an instruction
interpreter in KVM that kicks in whenever we go into split real mode. This
interpreter however would not receive a great amount of testing and be a lot of
bloat for a reasonably isolated corner case.
So I went back to the drawing board and tried to come up with a way to make
split real mode work with a single flat address space. And then I realized that
we could get away with the same trick that makes it work for Linux:
Whenever we see an instruction address during split real mode that may collide,
we just move it higher up the virtual address space to a place that hopefully
does not collide (keep your fingers crossed!).
That approach does work surprisingly well. I am able to successfully run
Mac OS X guests with KVM and QEMU (no split real mode hacks like MOL) when I
apply a tiny timing probe hack to QEMU. I'd say this is a win over even more
broken split real mode :).

When building KVM with a lot of vcores (NR_CPUS is big), we can potentially
get out of the ld immediate range for dereferences inside that struct.
Move the array to the end of our kvm_arch struct. This fixes compilation
issues with NR_CPUS=2048 for me.

For FSL e6500 core the kernel uses power management SPR register (PWRMGTCR0)
to enable idle power down for cores and devices by setting up the idle count
period at boot time. With the host already controlling the power management
configuration the guest could simply benefit from it, so emulate guest request
as a general store.

When running on an LE host all data structures are kept in little endian
byte order. However, the HTAB still needs to be maintained in big endian.
So every time we access any HTAB we need to make sure we do so in the right

This adds support for the H_SET_MODE hcall. This hcall is a
multiplexer that has several functions, some of which are called
rarely, and some which are potentially called very frequently.
Here we add support for the functions that set the debug registers
CIABR (Completed Instruction Address Breakpoint Register) and
DAWR/DAWRX (Data Address Watchpoint Register and eXtension),
since they could be updated by the guest as often as every context
switch.
This also adds a kvmppc_power8_compatible() function to test to see
if a guest is compatible with POWER8 or not. The CIABR and DAWR/X
only exist on POWER8.

This adds code to check that when the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL
capability is used to enable or disable in-kernel handling of an
hcall, that the hcall is actually implemented by the kernel.
If not an EINVAL error is returned.
This also checks the default-enabled list of hcalls and prints a
warning if any hcall there is not actually implemented.

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get
handled in the kernel. Each hcall can be individually enabled or
disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS. The exception
for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether
individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the
KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for
H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers.
Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the
KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM.
The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number
in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable
in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to
userspace) and 1 means enable. Enabling or disabling in-kernel
handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM.
The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor
on PowerPC is new, added by this commit. The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM
capability advertises that this ability exists.
When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for
in-kernel handling. The set that is enabled is the set that have
an in-kernel implementation at this point. Any new hcall
implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the
default set without a good reason.
No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall
implementations; the one setting controls them both.

Some compilers complain about uninitialized variables in the compute_tlbie_rb
