XSAVES uses compacted format and is a kernel instruction. The kernel
should use standard-format, non-supervisor state data for PTRACE.

CPUID function 0x0d, sub function (i, i > 1) returns in ebx the offset of
xstate component i. Zero is returned for a supervisor state. A supervisor
state can only be saved by XSAVES and XSAVES uses a compacted format.
There is no fixed offset for a supervisor state. This patch checks and
makes sure a supervisor state offset is not recorded or mis-used. This has
no effect in practice as we currently use no supervisor states, but it
would be good to fix.

This patch updates the event constraints for non-PEBS mode for
Intel Broadwell and Skylake processors. When HT is off, each
CPU gets 8 generic counters. However, not all events can be
programmed on any of the 8 counters.  This patch adds the
constraints for the MEM_* events which can only be measured on the
bottom 4 counters. The constraints are also valid when HT is off
because, then, there are only 4 generic counters and they are the
bottom counters.

There are multiple ingredients for this:

 1) PAGE_NONE is defined to _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT, which is CCA 3
    on all platforms except SB1 where it's CCA 5.
 2) _page_cachable_default must have bits set which are not set
    _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT.
 3) Either the defective version of pte_modify for XPA or the standard
    version must be in used.  However pte_modify for the 36 bit address
    space support is no affected.

In that case additional bits in the final CCA mode may generate an invalid
value for the CCA field.  On the R10000 system where this was tracked
down for example a CCA 7 has been observed, which is Uncached Accelerated.

Fixed by:

 1) Using the proper CCA mode for PAGE_NONE just like for all the other
    PAGE_* pte/pmd bits.
 2) Fix the two affected variants of pte_modify.

Further code inspection also shows the same issue to exist in pmd_modify
which would affect huge page systems.

Issue in pte_modify tracked down by Alastair Bridgewater, PAGE_NONE
and pmd_modify issue found by me.

The history of this goes back beyond Linus' git history.  Chris Dearman's
commit 35133692 ("[MIPS] Allow setting of
the cache attribute at run time.") missed the opportunity to fix this
but it was originally introduced in lmo commit
d523832cf12007b3242e50bb77d0c9e63e0b6518 ("Missing from last commit.")
and 32cc38229ac7538f2346918a09e75413e8861f87 ("New configuration option

Fix boot crash that triggers if this driver is built into a kernel and
run on non-AMD systems.

AMD northbridges users call amd_cache_northbridges() and it returns
a negative value to signal that we weren't able to cache/detect any
northbridges on the system.

At least, it should do so as all its callers expect it to do so. But it
does return a negative value only when kmalloc() fails.

Fix it to return -ENODEV if there are no NBs cached as otherwise, amd_nb
users like amd64_edac, for example, which relies on it to know whether
it should load or not, gets loaded on systems like Intel Xeons where it
shouldn't.

Logan Gunthorpe reports that hibernation stopped working reliably for
him after commit ab76f7b4 (x86/mm: Set NX on gap between __ex_table
and rodata).

That turns out to be a consequence of a long-standing issue with the
64-bit image restoration code on x86, which is that the temporary
page tables set up by it to avoid page tables corruption when the
last bits of the image kernel's memory contents are copied into
their original page frames re-use the boot kernel's text mapping,
but that mapping may very well get corrupted just like any other
part of the page tables.  Of course, if that happens, the final
jump to the image kernel's entry point will go to nowhere.

The exact reason why commit ab76f7b4 matters here is that it
sometimes causes a PMD of a large page to be split into PTEs
that are allocated dynamically and get corrupted during image
restoration as described above.

To fix that issue note that the code copying the last bits of the
image kernel's memory contents to the page frames occupied by them
previoulsy doesn't use the kernel text mapping, because it runs from
a special page covered by the identity mapping set up for that code
from scratch.  Hence, the kernel text mapping is only needed before
that code starts to run and then it will only be used just for the
final jump to the image kernel's entry point.

Accordingly, the temporary page tables set up in swsusp_arch_resume()
on x86-64 need to contain the kernel text mapping too.  That mapping
is only going to be used for the final jump to the image kernel, so
it only needs to cover the image kernel's entry point, because the
first thing the image kernel does after getting control back is to
switch over to its own original page tables.  Moreover, the virtual
address of the image kernel's entry point in that mapping has to be
the same as the one mapped by the image kernel's page tables.

With that in mind, modify the x86-64's arch_hibernation_header_save()
and arch_hibernation_header_restore() routines to pass the physical
address of the image kernel's entry point (in addition to its virtual
address) to the boot kernel (a small piece of assembly code involved
in passing the entry point's virtual address to the image kernel is
not necessary any more after that, so drop it).  Update RESTORE_MAGIC
too to reflect the image header format change.

Next, in set_up_temporary_mappings(), use the physical and virtual
addresses of the image kernel's entry point passed in the image
header to set up a minimum kernel text mapping (using memory pages
that won't be overwritten by the image kernel's memory contents) that
will map those addresses to each other as appropriate.

This makes the concern about the possible corruption of the original
boot kernel text mapping go away and if the the minimum kernel text
mapping used for the final jump marks the image kernel's entry point
memory as executable, the jump to it is guaraneed to succeed.

Commit d6a9996e ("powerpc/mm: vmalloc abstraction in preparation for
radix") turned kernel memory and IO addresses from #defined constants to
variables initialised at runtime.

On PA6T (pasemi) systems the setup_arch() machine call initialises the
onboard PCI-e root-ports, and uses pci_io_base to do this, which is now
before its value has been set, resulting in a panic early in boot before
console IO is initialised.

Move the pci_io_base initialisation to the same place as vmalloc ranges
are set (hash__early_init_mmu()/radix__early_init_mmu()) - this is the
earliest possible place we can initialise it.

Currently we have 2 segments that are bolted for the kernel linear
mapping (ie 0xc000... addresses). This is 0 to 1TB and also the kernel
stacks. Anything accessed outside of these regions may need to be
faulted in. (In practice machines with TM always have 1T segments)

If a machine has < 2TB of memory we never fault on the kernel linear
mapping as these two segments cover all physical memory. If a machine
has > 2TB of memory, there may be structures outside of these two
segments that need to be faulted in. This faulting can occur when
running as a guest as the hypervisor may remove any SLB that's not
bolted.

When we treclaim and trecheckpoint we have a window where we need to
run with the userspace GPRs. This means that we no longer have a valid
stack pointer in r1. For this window we therefore clear MSR RI to
indicate that any exceptions taken at this point won't be able to be
handled. This means that we can't take segment misses in this RI=0
window.

In this RI=0 region, we currently access the thread_struct for the
process being context switched to or from. This thread_struct access
may cause a segment fault since it's not guaranteed to be covered by
the two bolted segment entries described above.

We've seen this with a crash when running as a guest with > 2TB of
memory on PowerVM:

This fixes this by copying the required data from the thread_struct to
the stack before we clear MSR RI. Then once we clear RI, we only access
the stack, guaranteeing there's no segment miss.

We also tighten the region over which we set RI=0 on the treclaim()
path. This may have a slight performance impact since we're adding an
mtmsr instruction.

When calling eeh_rmv_device() in eeh_reset_device() for partial hotplug
case, @rmv_data instead of its address is the proper argument.
Otherwise, the stack frame is corrupted when writing to
@rmv_data (actually its address) in eeh_rmv_device(). It results in
kernel crash as observed.

This fixes the issue by passing @rmv_data, not its address to
eeh_rmv_device() in eeh_reset_device().

The test_fp_ctl function is used to test if a given value is a valid
floating-point control. The inline assembly in test_fp_ctl uses an
incorrect constraint for the 'orig_fpc' variable. If the compiler
chooses the same register for 'fpc' and 'orig_fpc' the test_fp_ctl()
function always returns true. This allows user space to trigger
kernel oopses with invalid floating-point control values on the
signal stack.

This problem has been introduced with git commit 4725c860
"s390: fix save and restore of the floating-point-control register"

This reverts commit 852ffd0f.

There are use cases where an intermediate boot kernel (1) uses kexec
to boot the final production kernel (2). For this scenario we should
provide the original boot information to the production kernel (2).
Therefore clearing the boot information during kexec() should not
be done.

With recent binutils update to support dwarf CFI pseudo-ops in gas, we
now get .eh_frame vs. .debug_frame. Although the call frame info is
exactly the same in both, the CIE differs, which the current kernel
unwinder can't cope with.

This broke both the kernel unwinder as well as loadable modules (latter
because of a new unhandled relo R_ARC_32_PCREL from .rela.eh_frame in
the module loader)

The ideal solution would be to switch unwinder to .eh_frame.
For now however we can make do by just ensureing .debug_frame is
generated by removing -fasynchronous-unwind-tables

 .eh_frame    generated with -gdwarf-2 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables

Cross-checking the KVM/VMX VMREAD emulation code with the Intel Software
Developper Manual Volume 3C - "VMREAD - Read Field from Virtual-Machine
Control Structure", I found that we're enforcing that the destination
operand is NOT located in a read-only data segment or any code segment when
the L1 is in long mode - BUT that check should only happen when it is in
protected mode.

Shuffling the code a bit to make our emulation follow the specification
allows me to boot a Xen dom0 in a nested KVM and start HVM L2 guests
without problems.

The host timer which emulates the guest LAPIC TSC deadline
timer has its expiration diminished by lapic_timer_advance_ns
nanoseconds. Therefore if, at wait_lapic_expire, a difference
larger than lapic_timer_advance_ns is encountered, delay at most
lapic_timer_advance_ns.

This fixes a problem where the guest can cause the host
to delay for large amounts of time.

Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making it
uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again (making
it even) when it is done.  Thus the guest can make sure the time values
it got are consistent by checking the version before and after reading
them.

Add CPU barries after getting version value just like what function
vread_pvclock does, because all of callees in this function is inline.

Userspace can quite legitimately perform an exec() syscall with a
suspended transaction. exec() does not return to the old process, rather
it load a new one and starts that, the expectation therefore is that the
new process starts not in a transaction. Currently exec() is not treated
any differently to any other syscall which creates problems.

Firstly it could allow a new process to start with a suspended
transaction for a binary that no longer exists. This means that the
checkpointed state won't be valid and if the suspended transaction were
ever to be resumed and subsequently aborted (a possibility which is
exceedingly likely as exec()ing will likely doom the transaction) the
new process will jump to invalid state.

Secondly the incorrect attempt to keep the transactional state while
still zeroing state for the new process creates at least two TM Bad
Things. The first triggers on the rfid to return to userspace as
start_thread() has given the new process a 'clean' MSR but the suspend
will still be set in the hardware MSR. The second TM Bad Thing triggers
in __switch_to() as the processor is still transactionally suspended but
__switch_to() wants to zero the TM sprs for the new process.

This is an example of the outcome of calling exec() with a suspended
transaction. Note the first 700 is likely the first TM bad thing
decsribed earlier only the kernel can't report it as we've loaded
userspace registers. c000000000009980 is the rfid in
fast_exception_return()

__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.

PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but it is only used in pte_alloc_one,
pte_alloc_one_kernel which does order-0 request.  This means that this
flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used
only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

{pud,pmd}_alloc_one are allocating from {PGT,PUD}_CACHE initialized in
pgtable_cache_init which doesn't have larger than sizeof(void *) << 12
size and that fits into !costly allocation request size.

PGALLOC_GFP is used only in radix__pgd_alloc which uses either order-0

second does.  Drop __GFP_REPEAT from PGALLOC_GFP and add it for the

{pte,pmd,pud}_alloc_one{_kernel}, late_pgtable_alloc use PGALLOC_GFP for
__get_free_page (aka order-0).

pgd_alloc is slightly more complex because it allocates from pgd_cache
if PGD_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE and PGD_SIZE depends on the configuration
(CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS, PAGE_SHIFT and CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS).

As per
config PGTABLE_LEVELS
	int
	default 2 if ARM64_16K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_36
	default 2 if ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_42
	default 3 if ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_48
	default 3 if ARM64_4K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_39
	default 3 if ARM64_16K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_47
	default 4 if !ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_48

we should have the following options

  CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:48 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:4 PAGE_SIZE:4k size:4096 pages:1
  CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:48 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:4 PAGE_SIZE:16k size:16 pages:1

  CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:36 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:2 PAGE_SIZE:16k size:16384 pages:1

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.

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.
