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.

The large segment table entry format has block of bits for the
ACC/F values for the large page. These bits are valid only if
another bit (AV bit 0x10000) of the segment table entry is set.
The ACC/F bits do not have a meaning if the AV bit is off.
This allows to put the THP splitting bit, the segment young bit
and the new segment dirty bit into the ACC/F bits as long as
the AV bit stays off. The dirty and young information is only
available if the pmd is large.

Users of qdio buffers employ different strategies to manage these

to high order allocations with all their downsides.

This patch cleans up the code in handle_wait by reusing the common code
function kvm_vcpu_block.
signal_pending(), kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer() and kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() are
sufficient for checking if we need to wake-up that VCPU. kvm_vcpu_block
uses these functions, so no checks are lost.
The flag "timer_due" can be removed - kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer() tests whether
the timer is pending, thus the vcpu is correctly woken up.

The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is
hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.
This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but
only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

- adds s390 specific MP states to linux headers and documents them
- implements the KVM_{SET,GET}_MP_STATE ioctls
- enables KVM_CAP_MP_STATE
- allows user space to control the VCPU state on s390.
If user space sets the VCPU state using the ioctl KVM_SET_MP_STATE, we can disable
manual changing of the VCPU state and trust user space to do the right thing.

sie.h was missing in arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild and therefore missed
the "make headers_check" target.
If added it reveals that also arch/s390/include/asm/sigp.h would become uapi.
This is something we certainly do not want. So remove that dependency as well.
The header file was merged with ceae283bb2 "KVM: s390: add sie exit

The uc_sigmask definition in the kernel differs from the one in the
glibc, the kernel uc_sigmask has 64 bits while the glibc verison
is 1024 bits. The extension of the ucontext structure for 64-bit
register support for 31-bit compat processes added a new field
uc_gprs_high which starts 8 bytes after the uc_sigmask field.
As the glibc view of the ucontext assumes a size of 128 bytes for
uc_sigmask add a 120 byte padding to the kernel structure
ucontext_extended after the 8 byte uc_sigmask.

"s390/uaccess: simplify control register updates".
The switch_mm function is not called if the next process is a kernel
thread without an attached mm or is a nop if the mm does not change.
But CR1 still needs to be loaded with the kernel ASCE in case the
code returns to a uaccess function that uses the secondary space mode.
In addition move the set_fs call from finish_arch_switch to
finish_arch_post_lock_switch and then remove finish_arch_switch.

Based on original patch from Jeng-fang (Nick) Wang
When standby memory is specified for a guest Linux, but no virtual memory has
been allocated on the Qemu host backing that guest, the guest memory detection
process encounters a memory access exception which is not thrown from the KVM
handle_tprot() instruction-handler function. The access exception comes from
sie64a returning EFAULT, which then passes an addressing exception to the guest.
Unfortunately this does not the proper PSW fixup (nullifying vs.
suppressing) so the guest will get a fault for the wrong address.
Let's just intercept the tprot instruction all the time to do the right thing
and not go the page fault handler path for standby memory. tprot is only used
by Linux during startup so some exits should be ok.
Without this patch, standby memory cannot be used with KVM.

The IRB might be 96 bytes if the extended-I/O-measurement facility is
used. This feature is currently not used by Linux, but struct irb
already has the emw defined. So let's make the irb in lowcore match the
size of the internal data structure to be future proof.
We also have to add a pad, to correctly align the paste.
The bigger irb field also circumvents a bug in some QEMU versions that
always write the emw field on test subchannel and therefore destroy the
paste definitions of this CPU. Running under these QEMU version broke
some timing functions in the VDSO and all users of these functions,
e.g. some JREs.

In case a lock is contended it is better to do a load-and-test first
before trying to get the lock with compare-and-swap. This helps to avoid
unnecessary cache invalidations of the cacheline for the lock if the
CPU has to wait for the lock. For an uncontended lock doing the
compare-and-swap directly is a bit better, if the CPU does not have the
cacheline in its cache yet the compare-and-swap will get it read-write
immediately while a load-and-test would get it read-only first.
Always to the load-and-test first to avoid the cacheline invalidations
for the contended case outweight the potential read-only to read-write
cacheline upgrade for the uncontended case.

If the sigp interpretation facility is installed, most SIGP EXTERNAL CALL
operations will be interpreted instead of intercepted. A partial execution
interception will occurr at the sending cpu only if the target cpu is in the
wait state ("W" bit in the cpuflags set). Instruction interception will only
happen in error cases (e.g. cpu addr invalid).
As a sending cpu might set the external call interrupt pending flags at the
target cpu at every point in time, we can't handle this kind of interrupt using
our kvm interrupt injection mechanism. The injection will be done automatically
by the SIE when preparing the start of the target cpu.

We replace the old way to configure the scheduler topology with a new method
which enables a platform to declare additionnal level (if needed).
We still have a default topology table definition that can be used by platform
that don't want more level than the SMT, MC, CPU and NUMA ones. This table can
be overwritten by an arch which either wants to add new level where a load
balance make sense like BOOK or powergating level or wants to change the flags
configuration of some levels.
For each level, we need a function pointer that returns cpumask for each cpu,
a function pointer that returns the flags for the level and a name. Only flags
that describe topology, can be set by an architecture. The current topology
flags are:
SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER
SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
SD_NUMA
SD_ASYM_PACKING
Then, each level must be a subset on the next one. The build sequence of the
sched_domain will take care of removing useless levels like those with 1 CPU
and those with the same CPU span and no more relevant information for
load balancing than its children.

The external interrupt interception can only occur in rare cases, e.g.
when the PSW of the interrupt handler has a bad value. The old handler
for this interception simply ignored these events (except for increasing

have to inject the interrupts manually or we should drop to userspace in
case of errors.

This merges the patch to fix possible loss of dirty bit on munmap() or
madvice(DONTNEED). If there are concurrent writers on other CPU's that
have the unmapped/unneeded page in their TLBs, their writes to the page
could possibly get lost if a third CPU raced with the TLB flush and did
a page_mkclean() before the page was fully written.
Admittedly, if you unmap() or madvice(DONTNEED) an area _while_ another
thread is still busy writing to it, you deserve all the lost writes you
could get. But we kernel people hold ourselves to higher quality
standards than "crazy people deserve to lose", because, well, we've seen
people do all kinds of crazy things.
So let's get it right, just because we can, and we don't have to worry
