Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"PPC and ARM do not have much going on this time. Most of the cool
stuff, instead, is in s390 and (after a few releases) x86.
ARM has some caching fixes and PPC has transactional memory support in
guests. MIPS has some fixes, with more probably coming in 3.16 as
QEMU will soon get support for MIPS KVM.
For x86 there are optimizations for debug registers, which trigger on
some Windows games, and other important fixes for Windows guests. We
now expose to the guest Broadwell instruction set extensions and also
Intel MPX. There's also a fix/workaround for OS X guests, nested
virtualization features (preemption timer), and a couple kvmclock
refinements.
For s390, the main news is asynchronous page faults, together with
improvements to IRQs (floating irqs and adapter irqs) that speed up
virtio devices"

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.
This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.
This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.
This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have
agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
cycle.
An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't
before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
this had the potential of information leaks"

Pull irq code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq department proudly presents:
- Another tree wide sweep of irq infrastructure abuse. Clear winner
of the trainwreck engineering contest was:
#include "../../../kernel/irq/settings.h"
- Tree wide update of irq_set_affinity() callbacks which miss a cpu
online check when picking a single cpu out of the affinity mask.
- Tree wide consolidation of interrupt statistics.
- Updates to the threaded interrupt infrastructure to allow explicit
wakeup of the interrupt thread and a variant of synchronize_irq()
which synchronizes only the hard interrupt handler. Both are
needed to replace the homebrewn thread handling in the mmc/sdhci
code.
- New irq chip callbacks to allow proper support for GPIO based irqs.
The GPIO based interrupts need to request/release GPIO resources
from request/free_irq.
- A few new ARM interrupt chips. No revolutionary new hardware, just
differently wreckaged variations of the scheme.
- Small improvments, cleanups and updates all over the place"
I was hoping that that trainwreck engineering contest was a April Fools'
joke. But no.

Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens:
"S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.
The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly
compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero
extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters.
Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have
been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only
have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters.
Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to
compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't
cause any harm.
The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit
parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI
haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture
defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.
System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper
zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will
get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro:
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);
which generates the following code (simplified):
asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
{
return sys_brk((u32)brk);
}
Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate
build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if
there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.
In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if
somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably
should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the
size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled
correctly with the s390 specific macros.
I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the
generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it
did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand
written asm code.
In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking"

On x86 uniprocessor systems topology_physical_package_id() returns -1
which causes rapl_cpu_prepare() to leave rapl_pmu variable uninitialized
which leads to GPF in rapl_pmu_init().
See arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel_rapl.c.
It turns out that physical_package_id and core_id can actually be
retreived for uniprocessor systems too. Enabling them also fixes
rapl_pmu code.

This reverts commit a9c8e4beeeb64c22b84c803747487857fe424b68.
PTEs in Xen PV guests must contain machine addresses if _PAGE_PRESENT
is set and pseudo-physical addresses is _PAGE_PRESENT is clear.
This is because during a domain save/restore (migration) the page
table entries are "canonicalised" and uncanonicalised". i.e., MFNs are
converted to PFNs during domain save so that on a restore the page
table entries may be rewritten with the new MFNs on the destination.
This canonicalisation is only done for PTEs that are present.
This change resulted in writing PTEs with MFNs if _PAGE_PROTNONE (or
_PAGE_NUMA) was set but _PAGE_PRESENT was clear. These PTEs would be
migrated as-is which would result in unexpected behaviour in the
destination domain. Either a) the MFN would be translated to the
wrong PFN/page; b) setting the _PAGE_PRESENT bit would clear the PTE
because the MFN is no longer owned by the domain; or c) the present
bit would not get set.
Symptoms include "Bad page" reports when munmapping after migrating a
domain.

This replaces a decent amount of incomprehensible and buggy code
with much more straightforward code. It also brings the 32-bit vdso
more in line with the 64-bit vdsos, so maybe someday they can share
even more code.
This wastes a small amount of kernel .data and .text space, but it
avoids a couple of allocations on startup, so it should be more or
less a wash memory-wise.

Upcoming Intel silicon adds a new RDSEED instruction, which is similar
to RDRAND but provides a stronger guarantee: unlike RDRAND, RDSEED
will always reseed the PRNG from the true random number source between
each read. Thus, the output of RDSEED is guaranteed to be 100%
entropic, unlike RDRAND which is only architecturally guaranteed to be
1/512 entropic (although in practice is much more.)
The RDSEED instruction takes the same time to execute as RDRAND, but
RDSEED unlike RDRAND can legitimately return failure (CF=0) due to
entropy exhaustion if too many threads on too many cores are hammering
the RDSEED instruction at the same time. Therefore, we have to be
more conservative and only use it in places where we can tolerate
failures.
This patch introduces the primitives arch_get_random_seed_{int,long}()
but does not use it yet.

This patch add the VDSO time support for the IA32 Emulation Layer.
Due the nature of the kernel headers and the LP64 compiler where the
size of a long and a pointer differs against a 32 bit compiler, there
is some type hacking necessary for optimal performance.
The vsyscall_gtod_data struture must be a rearranged to serve 32- and
64-bit code access at the same time:
- The seqcount_t was replaced by an unsigned, this makes the
vsyscall_gtod_data intedepend of kernel configuration and internal functions.
- All kernel internal structures are replaced by fix size elements
which works for 32- and 64-bit access
- The inner struct clock was removed to pack the whole struct.
The "unsigned seq" would be handled by functions derivated from seqcount_t.

The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it,
for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as
those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following:
- the bulk of the original function (everything after the mapping hypercall)
is moved to arch-dependent set/clear_foreign_p2m_mapping
- the "if (xen_feature(XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap))" branch goes to ARM
- therefore the ARM function could be much smaller, the m2p_override stubs
could be also removed
- on x86 the set_phys_to_machine calls were moved up to this new funcion
from m2p_override functions
- and m2p_override functions are only called when there is a kmap_ops param
It also removes a stray space from arch/x86/include/asm/xen/page.h.

This removes it and replaces it with a much simpler hack: a config

When not running in guest-debug mode, the guest controls the debug
registers and having to take an exit for each DR access is a waste
of time. If the guest gets into a state where each context switch
causes DR to be saved and restored, this can take away as much as 40%
of the execution time from the guest.
After this patch, VMX- and SVM-specific code can set a flag in
switch_db_regs, telling vcpu_enter_guest that on the next exit the debug
registers might be dirty and need to be reloaded (syncing will be taken
care of by a new callback in kvm_x86_ops). This flag can be set on the
first access to a debug registers, so that multiple accesses to the
debug registers only cause one vmexit.
Note that since the guest will be able to read debug registers and
enable breakpoints in DR7, we need to ensure that they are synchronized
on entry to the guest---including DR6 that was not synced before.

Move the check for leaving L2 on pending and intercepted IRQs or NMIs
from the *_allowed handler into a dedicated callback. Invoke this
callback at the relevant points before KVM checks if IRQs/NMIs can be
injected. The callback has the task to switch from L2 to L1 if needed
and inject the proper vmexit events.
The rework fixes L2 wakeups from HLT and provides the foundation for
preemption timer emulation.

x86_64 uses a per_cpu variable kernel_stack to always point to
the thread stack of current. This is where the thread_info is stored
and is accessed from this location even when the irq or exception stack
is in use. This removes the complexity of having to maintain the
thread info on the stack when interrupts are running and having to
copy the preempt_count and other fields to the interrupt stack.
x86_32 uses the old method of copying the thread_info from the thread
stack to the exception stack just before executing the exception.
Having the two different requires #ifdefs and also the x86_32 way
is a bit of a pain to maintain. By converting x86_32 to the same
method of x86_64, we can remove #ifdefs, clean up the x86_32 code
a little, and remove the overhead of the copy.

The i386 thread_info contains a previous_esp field that is used
to daisy chain the different stacks for dump_stack()
(ie. irq, softirq, thread stacks).
The goal is to eventual make i386 handling of thread_info the same
as x86_64, which means that the thread_info will not be in the stack
but as a per_cpu variable. We will no longer depend on thread_info
being able to daisy chain different stacks as it will only exist
in one location (the thread stack).
By moving previous_esp to the end of thread_info and referencing
it as an offset instead of using a thread_info field, this becomes
a stepping stone to moving the thread_info.
The offset to get to the previous stack is rather ugly in this
patch, but this is only temporary and the prev_esp will be changed
in the next commit. This commit is more for sanity checks of the

According to a git log -p, GET_THREAD_INFO_WITH_ESP() has only been defined
and never been used. Get rid of it.

Nothing references the supervisor_stack in the thread_info field,
and it does not exist in x86_64. To make the two more the same,
it is being removed.

The preadv64/pwrite64 have been implemented for the x32 ABI, in order
to allow passing 64 bit arguments from user space without splitting
them into two 32 bit parameters, like it would be necessary for usual
compat tasks.
Howevert these two system calls are only being used for the x32 ABI,
so add __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT defines for these two compat syscalls and
make these two only visible for x86.
