In order to be able to detect the point where the guest enables
its MMU and caches, trap all the VM related system registers.
Once we see the guest enabling both the MMU and the caches, we
can go back to a saner mode of operation, which is to leave these
registers in complete control of the guest.

So far, KVM/ARM used a fixed HCR configuration per guest, except for
the VI/VF/VA bits to control the interrupt in absence of VGIC.
With the upcoming need to dynamically reconfigure trapping, it becomes
necessary to allow the HCR to be changed on a per-vcpu basis.
The fix here is to mimic what KVM/arm64 already does: a per vcpu HCR
field, initialized at setup time.

In order for a guest with caches disabled to observe data written

When the guest runs with caches disabled (like in an early boot
sequence, for example), all the writes are diectly going to RAM,
bypassing the caches altogether.
Once the MMU and caches are enabled, whatever sits in the cache
becomes suddenly visible, which isn't what the guest expects.
A way to avoid this potential disaster is to invalidate the cache
when the MMU is being turned on. For this, we hook into the SCTLR_EL1
trapping code, and scan the stage-2 page tables, invalidating the
pages/sections that have already been mapped in.

The 'order' parameter for IOMMU-aware dma-mapping implementation was
introduced mainly as a hack to reduce size of the bitmap used for
tracking IO virtual address space. Since now it is possible to dynamically
resize the bitmap, this hack is not needed and can be removed without any
impact on the client devices. This way the parameters for
arm_iommu_create_mapping() becomes much easier to understand. 'size'
parameter now means the maximum supported IO address space size.
The code will allocate (resize) bitmap in chunks, ensuring that a single
chunk is not larger than a single memory page to avoid unreliable
allocations of size larger than PAGE_SIZE in atomic context.

Instead of using just one bitmap to keep track of IO virtual addresses
(handed out for IOMMU use) introduce an array of bitmaps. This allows
us to extend existing mappings when running out of iova space in the
initial mapping etc.
If there is not enough space in the mapping to service an IO virtual
address allocation request, __alloc_iova() tries to extend the mapping
-- by allocating another bitmap -- and makes another allocation
attempt using the freshly allocated bitmap.
This allows arm iommu drivers to start with a decent initial size when
an dma_iommu_mapping is created and still to avoid running out of IO
virtual addresses for the mapping.

The pte_accessible macro can be used to identify page table entries
capable of being cached by a TLB. In principle, this differs from
pte_present, since PROT_NONE mappings are mapped using invalid entries
identified as present and ptes designated as `old' can use either
invalid entries or those with the access flag cleared (guaranteed not to
be in the TLB). However, there is a race to take care of, as described
in 20841405940e ("mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and
change_protection_range"), between a page being migrated and mprotected
at the same time. In this case, we can check whether a TLB invalidation
is pending for the mm and if so, temporarily consider PROT_NONE mappings
as valid.
This patch implements a quick pte_accessible macro for ARM by simply
checking if the pte is valid/present depending on the mm. For classic
MMU, these checks are identical and will generate some false positives
for PROT_NONE mappings, but this is better than the current asm-generic
definition of ((void)(pte),1).
Finally, pte_present_user is moved to use pte_valid (and renamed
appropriately) since we don't care about cache flushing for faulting
mappings.

The goal of multi-platform kernels is to remove the need for mach
directories and machine descriptors. To further that goal,
introduce CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() to allow cpu hotplug/smp
support to be separated from the machine descriptors.
Implementers should specify an enable-method property in their
cpus node and then implement a matching set of smp_ops in their
hotplug/smp code, wiring it up with the CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE()
macro. When the kernel is compiled we'll collect all the
enable-method smp_ops into one section for use at boot.
At boot time we'll look for an enable-method in each cpu node and
try to match that against all known CPU enable methods in the
kernel. If there are no enable-methods in the cpu nodes we
fallback to the cpus node and try to use any enable-method found
there. If that doesn't work we fall back to the old way of using
the machine descriptor.

CPU_32v6 currently selects CPU_USE_DOMAINS if CPU_V6 and MMU. This is
because ARM 1136 r0pX CPUs lack the v6k extensions, and therefore do
not have hardware thread registers. The lack of these registers requires
the kernel to update the vectors page at each context switch in order to
write a new TLS pointer. This write must be done via the userspace
mapping, since aliasing caches can lead to expensive flushing when using
kmap. Finally, this requires the vectors page to be mapped r/w for
kernel and r/o for user, which has implications for things like put_user
which must trigger CoW appropriately when targetting user pages.
The upshot of all this is that a v6/v7 kernel makes use of domains to
segregate kernel and user memory accesses. This has the nasty
side-effect of making device mappings executable, which has been
observed to cause subtle bugs on recent cores (e.g. Cortex-A15
performing a speculative instruction fetch from the GIC and acking an
interrupt in the process).
This patch solves this problem by removing the remaining domain support
from ARMv6. A new memory type is added specifically for the vectors page
which allows that page (and only that page) to be mapped as user r/o,
kernel r/w. All other user r/o pages are mapped also as kernel r/o.

When unlocking a spinlock, we require the following, strictly ordered
sequence of events:
<barrier> /* dmb */
<unlock>
<barrier> /* dsb */
<sev>
Whilst the code does indeed reflect this in terms of the architecture,
the final <barrier> + <sev> have been contracted into a single inline
asm without a "memory" clobber, therefore the compiler is at liberty to
reorder the unlock to the end of the above sequence. In such a case,
a waiting CPU may be woken up before the lock has been unlocked, leading
to extremely poor performance.

The definition of isa_mode hardcodes the values to shift PSR_J_BIT and
PSR_T_BIT to move them to bits 1 and 0 respectively. Instead use __ffs to
calculate the shift from the #define already used for masking.
This is relevant on v7-M as there PSR_T_BIT is 0x01000000 instead of
0x00000020 for V7-[AR] and earlier. Because of that isa_mode produced
values >= 0x80000 which are unsuitable to index into isa_modes[4] there
and so made __show_regs read from undefined memory which resulted in
hangs and crashes.
Moreover isa_mode is wrong for v7-M even after this robustness fix as
there is no J-bit in the PSR register. So hardcode isa_mode to "Thumb"
for v7-M.

Some SoC have MMIO regions that are shared across orthogonal
subsystems. This commit implements a possible solution for the
thread-safe access of such regions through a spinlock-protected API.
Concurrent access is protected with a single spinlock for the
entire MMIO address space. While this protects shared-registers,
it also serializes access to unrelated/unshared registers.
We add relaxed and non-relaxed variants, by using writel_relaxed and writel,
respectively. The rationale for this is that some users may not require
register write completion but only thread-safe access to a register.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) BPF debugger and asm tool by Daniel Borkmann.
2) Speed up create/bind in AF_PACKET, also from Daniel Borkmann.
3) Correct reciprocal_divide and update users, from Hannes Frederic
Sowa and Daniel Borkmann.
4) Currently we only have a "set" operation for the hw timestamp socket
ioctl, add a "get" operation to match. From Ben Hutchings.
5) Add better trace events for debugging driver datapath problems, also
from Ben Hutchings.
6) Implement auto corking in TCP, from Eric Dumazet. Basically, if we
have a small send and a previous packet is already in the qdisc or
device queue, defer until TX completion or we get more data.
7) Allow userspace to manage ipv6 temporary addresses, from Jiri Pirko.
8) Add a qdisc bypass option for AF_PACKET sockets, from Daniel
Borkmann.
9) Share IP header compression code between Bluetooth and IEEE802154
layers, from Jukka Rissanen.
10) Fix ipv6 router reachability probing, from Jiri Benc.

12) Support tunneling in GRO layer, from Jerry Chu.
13) Allow bonding to be configured fully using netlink, from Scott
Feldman.
14) Allow AF_PACKET users to obtain the VLAN TPID, just like they can
already get the TCI. From Atzm Watanabe.
15) New "Heavy Hitter" qdisc, from Terry Lam.
16) Significantly improve the IPSEC support in pktgen, from Fan Du.
17) Allow ipv4 tunnels to cache routes, just like sockets. From Tom
Herbert.

Subramanian.
19) Allow openvswitch to mmap'd netlink, from Thomas Graf.

The largest part of this is a conversion of device registration for some

coordination with the corresponding arch/sh changes, and we've agreed
to merge the arch/sh changes through our tree.
Added in this branch is support for Trusted Foundations secure firmware,

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Two major features that Xen community is excited about:
The first is event channel scalability by David Vrabel - we switch
over from an two-level per-cpu bitmap of events (IRQs) - to an FIFO
queue with priorities. This lets us be able to handle more events,
have lower latency, and better scalability. Good stuff.
The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor. In short, PV is a mode where the
kernel lets the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc. With
EPT/NPT capabilities in current processors, the overhead of doing this
in an HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) container is much lower than the
hypervisor doing it for us.
In short we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment,
syscall, etc updates through the hypervisor - instead it is all done
within the guest container. It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH'
name - a PV guest within an HVM container.
The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only
use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function
calls); faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the
hypervisor); less traps on various operations; etc.
It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone. But it is
pretty awesome and we are excited about it.
Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple
conflict which has been resolved in #linux-next.
In short, this pull has awesome features.
Features:
- FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000
events (2^17), 16 different event priorities, improved fairness in
event latency through the use of FIFOs.
- Xen PVH support. "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with

Introduce memblock memory allocation APIs which allow to support PAE or
LPAE extension on 32 bits archs where the physical memory start address
can be beyond 4GB. In such cases, existing bootmem APIs which operate
on 32 bit addresses won't work and needs memblock layer which operates
on 64 bit addresses.
So we add equivalent APIs so that we can replace usage of bootmem with
memblock interfaces. Architectures already converted to NO_BOOTMEM use
these new memblock interfaces. The architectures which are still not
converted to NO_BOOTMEM continue to function as is because we still
maintain the fal lback option of bootmem back-end supporting these new
interfaces. So no functional change as such.
In long run, once all the architectures moves to NO_BOOTMEM, we can get
rid of bootmem layer completely. This is one step to remove the core
code dependency with bootmem and also gives path for architectures to
move away from bootmem.
The proposed interface will became active if both CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK
and CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM are specified by arch. In case
!CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM, the memblock() wrappers will fallback to the
existing bootmem apis so that arch's not converted to NO_BOOTMEM
continue to work as is.
The meaning of MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE and MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE
is kept same.

Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
- Add the initial implementation of SCHED_DEADLINE support: a real-time
scheduling policy where tasks that meet their deadlines and
periodically execute their instances in less than their runtime quota
see real-time scheduling and won't miss any of their deadlines.
Tasks that go over their quota get delayed (Available to privileged
users for now)
- Clean up and fix preempt_enable_no_resched() abuse all around the
tree
- Do sched_clock() performance optimizations on x86 and elsewhere
- Fix and improve auto-NUMA balancing
- Fix and clean up the idle loop
- Apply various cleanups and fixes
