This patch allows to build and use vgic-v3 in 32-bit mode. Unfortunately, it can not be split in several steps without extra stubs to keep patches independent and bisectable. For instance, virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-v3.c uses function from vgic-v3-sr.c, handling access to GICv3 cpu interface from the guest requires vgic_v3.vgic_sre to be already defined. It is how support has been done: * handle SGI requests from the guest * report configured SRE on access to GICv3 cpu interface from the guest * required vgic-v3 macros are provided via uapi.h * static keys are used to select GIC backend * to make vgic-v3 build KVM_ARM_VGIC_V3 guard is removed along with the static inlines Acked-by: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Reviewed-by: NChristoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NVladimir Murzin <vladimir.murzin@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NChristoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org>

vgic-v3 save/restore routines are written in such way that they map arm64 system register naming nicely, but it does not fit to arm world. To keep virt/kvm/arm/hyp/vgic-v3-sr.c untouched we create a mapping with a function for each register mapping the 32-bit to the 64-bit accessors. Please, note that 64-bit wide ICH_LR is split in two 32-bit halves (ICH_LR and ICH_LRC) accessed independently.

Headers linux/irqchip/arm-gic.v3.h and arch/arm/include/asm/kvm_hyp.h are included in virt/kvm/arm/hyp/vgic-v3-sr.c and both define macros called __ACCESS_CP15 and __ACCESS_CP15_64 which obviously creates a conflict. These macros were introduced independently for GIC and KVM and, in fact, do the same thing. As an option we could add prefixes to KVM and GIC version of macros so they won't clash, but it'd introduce code duplication. Alternatively, we could keep macro in, say, GIC header and include it in KVM one (or vice versa), but such dependency would not look nicer. So we follow arm64 way (it handles this via sysreg.h) and move only single set of macros to asm/cp15.h Cc: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> Acked-by: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NVladimir Murzin <vladimir.murzin@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NChristoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org>

An asynchronous abort can also be triggered whilst running at EL2. But instead of making that a new error code, we need to communicate it to the rest of KVM together with the exit reason. So let's hijack a single bit that allows the exception code to be tagged with a "pending Abort" information.

When modifying Stage-2 page tables, we perform cache maintenance to account for non-coherent page table walks. However, this is unnecessary, as page table walks are guaranteed to be coherent in the presence of the virtualization extensions. Per ARM DDI 0406C.c, section B1.7 ("The Virtualization Extensions"), the virtualization extensions mandate the multiprocessing extensions. Per ARM DDI 0406C.c, section B3.10.1 ("General TLB maintenance requirements"), as described in the sub-section titled "TLB maintenance operations and the memory order model", this maintenance is not required in the presence of the multiprocessing extensions. Hence, we need not perform this cache maintenance when modifying Stage-2 entries. This patch removes the logic for performing the redundant maintenance. To ensure visibility and ordering of updates, a dsb(ishst) that was otherwise implicit in the maintenance is folded into kvm_set_pmd() and kvm_set_pte().

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data. However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned long will do fine: 1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits. 2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the attributes are passed by value.

This updates the generic and arch specific implementation to return true if we need to do a tlb flush. That means if a __tlb_remove_page indicate a flush is needed, the page we try to remove need to be tracked and added again after the flush. We need to track it because we have already update the pte to none and we can't just loop back. This change is done to enable us to do a tlb_flush when we try to flush a range that consists of different page sizes. For architectures like ppc64, we can do a range based tlb flush and we need to track page size for that. When we try to remove a huge page, we will force a tlb flush and starts a new mmu gather.

This commit makes a few slight modifications to the efi_call_virt() macro to get it to work with function pointers that are stored in locations other than efi.systab->runtime, and renames the macro to efi_call_virt_pointer(). The majority of the changes here are to pull these macros up into header files so that they can be accessed from outside of drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.c. The most significant change not directly related to the code move is to add an extra "p" argument into the appropriate efi_call macros, and use that new argument in place of the, formerly hard-coded, efi.systab->runtime pointer. The last piece of the puzzle was to add an efi_call_virt() macro back into drivers/firmware/efi/runtime-wrappers.c to wrap around the new efi_call_virt_pointer() macro - this was mainly to keep the code from looking too cluttered by adding a bunch of extra references to efi.systab->runtime everywhere. Note that I also broke up the code in the efi_call_virt_pointer() macro a bit in the process of moving it.

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window hopefully. Motivation: While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of __GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another. I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is documented as * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt * _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation. while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop for ever. This is not implemented right now though. I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic for it. $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l 111 $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l 36 So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later after all the simple ones are sorted out. I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from arch maintainers. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org This patch (of 19): __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0 allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail). Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

Now that we don't support ARMv3 anymore, the loop based delay code can convert microsecs into number of loops using a 64-bit multiplication and more precision. This allows us to lift the hard limit of 3355 on the bogomips value as loops_per_jiffy may now safely span the full 32-bit range.

Remove the code duplication between put_user() and __put_user(). The code which selected the implementation based upon the pointer size, and declared the local variable to hold the value to be put are common to both implementations. Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
