- Memory hotplug support for the Power9 Radix MMU.
- Add new AUX vectors describing the processor's cache geometry, to be used by
glibc.
- The ability for a guest to ask the hypervisor to resize the guest's hash
table, and in addition support for doing so automatically when memory is
hotplugged into/out-of the guest. This allows the hash table to be sized
based on the current memory usage of the guest, rather than the maximum
possible memory usage.

Current infrastructure of kprobe uses the unconditional trap instruction
to probe a running kernel. Optprobe allows kprobe to replace the trap
with a branch instruction to a detour buffer. Detour buffer contains
instructions to create an in memory pt_regs. Detour buffer also has a
call to optimized_callback() which in turn call the pre_handler(). After
the execution of the pre-handler, a call is made for instruction
emulation. The NIP is determined in advanced through dummy instruction
emulation and a branch instruction is created to the NIP at the end of
the trampoline.
To address the limitation of branch instruction in POWER architecture,
detour buffer slot is allocated from a reserved area. For the time
being, 64KB is reserved in memory for this purpose.
Instructions which can be emulated using analyse_instr() are the
candidates for optimization. Before optimization ensure that the address
range between the detour buffer allocated and the instruction being
probed is within +/- 32MB.

Unfortunately the stack protector support we merged recently only works
on some toolchains. If the toolchain is built without glibc support
everything works fine, but if glibc is built then it leads to a panic
at boot.
The solution is not rc5 material, so revert the support for now. This

Patch series "ima: carry the measurement list across kexec", v8.
The TPM PCRs are only reset on a hard reboot. In order to validate a
TPM's quote after a soft reboot (eg. kexec -e), the IMA measurement
list of the running kernel must be saved and then restored on the
subsequent boot, possibly of a different architecture.
The existing securityfs binary_runtime_measurements file conveniently
provides a serialized format of the IMA measurement list. This patch
set serializes the measurement list in this format and restores it.
Up to now, the binary_runtime_measurements was defined as architecture
native format. The assumption being that userspace could and would
handle any architecture conversions. With the ability of carrying the
measurement list across kexec, possibly from one architecture to a
different one, the per boot architecture information is lost and with it
the ability of recalculating the template digest hash. To resolve this
problem, without breaking the existing ABI, this patch set introduces
the boot command line option "ima_canonical_fmt", which is arbitrarily
defined as little endian.
The need for this boot command line option will be limited to the
existing version 1 format of the binary_runtime_measurements.
Subsequent formats will be defined as canonical format (eg. TPM 2.0
support for larger digests).
A simplified method of Thiago Bauermann's "kexec buffer handover" patch
series for carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec is included in
this patch set. The simplified method requires all file measurements be
taken prior to executing the kexec load, as subsequent measurements will
not be carried across the kexec and restored.
This patch (of 10):
The IMA kexec buffer allows the currently running kernel to pass the
measurement list via a kexec segment to the kernel that will be kexec'd.
The second kernel can check whether the previous kernel sent the buffer
and retrieve it.
This is the architecture-specific part which enables IMA to receive the
measurement list passed by the previous kernel. It will be used in the
next patch.
The change in machine_kexec_64.c is to factor out the logic of removing
an FDT memory reservation so that it can be used by remove_ima_buffer.

This patch adds the support code needed for implementing
kexec_file_load() on powerpc.
This consists of functions to load the ELF kernel, either big or little
endian, and setup the purgatory enviroment which switches from the first
kernel to the second kernel.
None of this code is built yet, as it depends on CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE which
we have not yet defined. Although we could define CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE in
this patch, we'd then have a window in history where the kconfig symbol
is present but the syscall is not, which would be awkward.

Commit 2965faa5e0 ("kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core
code") introduced CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE so that CONFIG_KEXEC means whether
the kexec_load system call should be compiled-in and CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE
means whether the kexec_file_load system call should be compiled-in.
These options can be set independently from each other.
Since until now powerpc only supported kexec_load, CONFIG_KEXEC and
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE were synonyms. That is not the case anymore, so we
need to make a distinction. Almost all places where CONFIG_KEXEC was
being used should be using CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead, since
kexec_file_load also needs that code compiled in.

This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as
possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation
(due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering,
thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for
how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals.
The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or
system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts
of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract
entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to
a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation
in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function)
is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement,
if/then/else branching, etc).
To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every
marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this
variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and
random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at
compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting
value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken).
Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into
the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable
is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(),
though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents
of the global are just used to mix the pool.
Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time
random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical
hardware will not have the same starting values.

Commit 2578bfae84 ("[POWERPC] Create and use CONFIG_WORD_SIZE") added

But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it.
So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and
tile. It is also easier to spell and simpler, avoiding any confusion
about whether it's defined due to ordering of make vs kconfig.

- s390: support for trapping software breakpoints, nested virtualization

- MIPS: support for MIPS64 hosts (32-bit guests only) and lots of cleanups,
preliminary to this and the upcoming support for hardware virtualization
extensions.
- x86: support for execute-only mappings in nested EPT; reduced vmexit
latency for TSC deadline timer (by about 30%) on Intel hosts; support for
more than 255 vCPUs.
- PPC: bugfixes.
The ugly bit is the conflicts. A couple of them are simple conflicts due
to 4.7 fixes, but most of them are with other trees. There was definitely
too much reliance on Acked-by here. Some conflicts are for KVM patches
where _I_ gave my Acked-by, but the worst are for this pull request's
patches that touch files outside arch/*/kvm. KVM submaintainers should
probably learn to synchronize better with arch maintainers, with the
latter providing topic branches whenever possible instead of Acked-by.
This is what we do with arch/x86. And I should learn to refuse pull
requests when linux-next sends scary signals, even if that means that
submaintainers have to rebase their branches.
Anyhow, here's the list:
- arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c: handle_pcommit and EXIT_REASON_PCOMMIT was removed
by the nvdimm tree. This tree adds handle_preemption_timer and
EXIT_REASON_PREEMPTION_TIMER at the same place. In general all mentions
of pcommit have to go.
There is also a conflict between a stable fix and this patch, where the
stable fix removed the vmx_create_pml_buffer function and its call.
- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c: kvm_cpu_notifier was removed by the hotplug tree.
This tree adds kvm_io_bus_get_dev at the same place.
- virt/kvm/arm/vgic.c: a few final bugfixes went into 4.7 before the
file was completely removed for 4.8.
- include/linux/irqchip/arm-gic-v3.h: this one is entirely our fault;
this is a change that should have gone in through the irqchip tree and
pulled by kvm-arm. I think I would have rejected this kvm-arm pull
request. The KVM version is the right one, except that it lacks
GITS_BASER_PAGES_SHIFT.
- arch/powerpc: what a mess. For the idle_book3s.S conflict, the KVM
tree is the right one; everything else is trivial. In this case I am
not quite sure what went wrong. The commit that is causing the mess
(fd7bacbca4, "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix TB corruption in guest exit
path on HMI interrupt", 2016-05-15) touches both arch/powerpc/kernel/
and arch/powerpc/kvm/. It's large, but at 396 insertions/5 deletions
I guessed that it wasn't really possible to split it and that the 5
deletions wouldn't conflict. That wasn't the case.
- arch/s390: also messy. First is hypfs_diag.c where the KVM tree
moved some code and the s390 tree patched it. You have to reapply the
relevant part of commits 6c22c98637, plus all of e030c1125e, to
arch/s390/kernel/diag.c. Or pick the linux-next conflict
resolution from http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=146717549531603&w=2.
Second, there is a conflict in gmap.c between a stable fix and 4.8.
The KVM version here is the correct one.
I have pushed my resolution at refs/heads/merge-20160802 (commit
3d1f53419842) at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git.

When a guest is assigned to a core it converts the host Timebase (TB)
into guest TB by adding guest timebase offset before entering into
guest. During guest exit it restores the guest TB to host TB. This means
under certain conditions (Guest migration) host TB and guest TB can differ.
When we get an HMI for TB related issues the opal HMI handler would
try fixing errors and restore the correct host TB value. With no guest
running, we don't have any issues. But with guest running on the core
we run into TB corruption issues.
If we get an HMI while in the guest, the current HMI handler invokes opal
hmi handler before forcing guest to exit. The guest exit path subtracts
the guest TB offset from the current TB value which may have already
been restored with host value by opal hmi handler. This leads to incorrect
host and guest TB values.
With split-core, things become more complex. With split-core, TB also gets
split and each subcore gets its own TB register. When a hmi handler fixes
a TB error and restores the TB value, it affects all the TB values of
sibling subcores on the same core. On TB errors all the thread in the core
gets HMI. With existing code, the individual threads call opal hmi handle
independently which can easily throw TB out of sync if we have guest
running on subcores. Hence we will need to co-ordinate with all the
threads before making opal hmi handler call followed by TB resync.
This patch introduces a sibling subcore state structure (shared by all
threads in the core) in paca which holds information about whether sibling
subcores are in Guest mode or host mode. An array in_guest[] of size
MAX_SUBCORE_PER_CORE=4 is used to maintain the state of each subcore.
The subcore id is used as index into in_guest[] array. Only primary
thread entering/exiting the guest is responsible to set/unset its
designated array element.
On TB error, we get HMI interrupt on every thread on the core. Upon HMI,
this patch will now force guest to vacate the core/subcore. Primary
thread from each subcore will then turn off its respective bit
from the above bitmap during the guest exit path just after the
guest->host partition switch is complete.
All other threads that have just exited the guest OR were already in host
will wait until all other subcores clears their respective bit.
Once all the subcores turn off their respective bit, all threads will
will make call to opal hmi handler.
It is not necessary that opal hmi handler would resync the TB value for
every HMI interrupts. It would do so only for the HMI caused due to
TB errors. For rest, it would not touch TB value. Hence to make things
simpler, primary thread would call TB resync explicitly once for each
core immediately after opal hmi handler instead of subtracting guest
offset from TB. TB resync call will restore the TB with host value.
Thus we can be sure about the TB state.
One of the primary threads exiting the guest will take up the
responsibility of calling TB resync. It will use one of the top bits
(bit 63) from subcore state flags bitmap to make the decision. The first
primary thread (among the subcores) that is able to set the bit will
have to call the TB resync. Rest all other threads will wait until TB
resync is complete. Once TB resync is complete all threads will then
proceed.

the setup before the change was
- arch/powerpc/Kconfig had the PPC_CLOCK option, off by default
- depending on the PPC_CLOCK option the arch/powerpc/kernel/clock.c file
was built, which implements the clk.h API but always returns -ENOSYS
unless a platform registers specific callbacks
- the MPC52xx platform selected PPC_CLOCK but did not register any
callbacks, thus all clk.h API calls keep resulting in -ENOSYS errors
(which is OK, all peripheral drivers deal with the situation)
- the MPC512x platform selected PPC_CLOCK and registered specific
callbacks implemented in arch/powerpc/platforms/512x/clock.c, thus
provided real support for the clock API
- no other powerpc platform did select PPC_CLOCK
the situation after the change is
- the MPC512x platform implements the COMMON_CLK interface, and thus the
PPC_CLOCK approach in arch/powerpc/platforms/512x/clock.c has become
obsolete
- the MPC52xx platform still lacks genuine support for the clk.h API
while this is not a change against the previous situation (the error
code returned from COMMON_CLK stubs differs but every call still
results in an error)
- with all references gone, the arch/powerpc/kernel/clock.c wrapper and
the PPC_CLOCK option have become obsolete, as did the clk_interface.h
header file
the switch from PPC_CLOCK to COMMON_CLK is done for all platforms within
the same commit such that multiplatform kernels (the combination of 512x
and 52xx within one executable) keep working

Now that we handle machine check in linux, the MCE decoding should also
take place in linux host. This info is crucial to log before we go down
in case we can not handle the machine check errors. This patch decodes
and populates a machine check event which contain high level meaning full
MCE information.
We do this in real mode C code with ME bit on. The MCE information is still
available on emergency stack (in pt_regs structure format). Even if we take
another exception at this point the MCE early handler will allocate a new
stack frame on top of current one. So when we return back here we still have
our MCE information safe on current stack.
We use per cpu buffer to save high level MCE information. Each per cpu buffer
is an array of machine check event structure indexed by per cpu counter
mce_nest_count. The mce_nest_count is incremented every time we enter
machine check early handler in real mode to get the current free slot
(index = mce_nest_count - 1). The mce_nest_count is decremented once the
MCE info is consumed by virtual mode machine exception handler.
This patch provides save_mce_event(), get_mce_event() and release_mce_event()
generic routines that can be used by machine check handlers to populate and
retrieve the event. The routine release_mce_event() will free the event slot so
that it can be reused. Caller can invoke get_mce_event() with a release flag
either to release the event slot immediately OR keep it so that it can be
fetched again. The event slot can be also released anytime by invoking
release_mce_event().
This patch also updates kvm code to invoke get_mce_event to retrieve generic
mce event rather than paca->opal_mce_evt.
The KVM code always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false so
that event is available for linus host machine
If machine check occurs while we are in guest, KVM tries to handle the error.
If KVM is able to handle MC error successfully, it enters the guest and
delivers the machine check to guest. If KVM is not able to handle MC error, it
exists the guest and passes the control to linux host machine check handler
which then logs MC event and decides how to handle it in linux host. In failure
case, KVM needs to make sure that the MC event is available for linux host to
consume. Hence KVM always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false
and later it invokes release_mce_event() only if it succeeds to handle error.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.
Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:
# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full

The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means
our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do
this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of
variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a
RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it.
32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c
with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually.
Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would
have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a
large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data).
The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates
more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot.
Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even
if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC.
This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of
prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to
process which helps keep boot times on simulators down.
gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be
safe we may want a build time script which passes through the
prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

The last 3 relocations in the above list depends on value of Symbol indexed

Note: The GNU ld for ppc32 produces buggy relocations for relocation types
that depend on symbols. The value of the symbols with STB_LOCAL scope
