commit 86a86804e4f18fc3880541b3d5a07f4df0fe29cb upstream.

The fix to make WARN work in the early boot code created a problem
on older machines without EDAT-1. The setup_lowcore_dat_on function
uses the pointer from lowcore_ptr[0] to set the DAT bit in the new
PSWs. That does not work if the kernel page table is set up with
4K pages as the prefix address maps to absolute zero.

To make this work the PSWs need to be changed with via address 0 in
form of the S390_lowcore definition.

<title>bcache: use (REQ_META|REQ_PRIO) to indicate bio for metadata</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e578f90d8a9cb6d4ae2e6cadc8aaab6e9a2aa656</id>
<content type='text'>
commit dc7292a5bcb4c878b076fca2ac3fc22f81b8f8df upstream.

In 'commit 752f66a75aba ("bcache: use REQ_PRIO to indicate bio for
metadata")' REQ_META is replaced by REQ_PRIO to indicate metadata bio.
This assumption is not always correct, e.g. XFS uses REQ_META to mark
metadata bio other than REQ_PRIO. This is why Nix noticed that bcache
does not cache metadata for XFS after the above commit.

Thanks to Dave Chinner, he explains the difference between REQ_META and
REQ_PRIO from view of file system developer. Here I quote part of his
explanation from mailing list,
   REQ_META is used for metadata. REQ_PRIO is used to communicate to
   the lower layers that the submitter considers this IO to be more
   important that non REQ_PRIO IO and so dispatch should be expedited.

   IOWs, if the filesystem considers metadata IO to be more important
   that user data IO, then it will use REQ_PRIO | REQ_META rather than
   just REQ_META.

Then it seems bios with REQ_META or REQ_PRIO should both be cached for
performance optimation, because they are all probably low I/O latency
demand by upper layer (e.g. file system).

So in this patch, when we want to decide whether to bypass the cache,
REQ_META and REQ_PRIO are both checked. Then both metadata and
high priority I/O requests will be handled properly.

<title>KVM: nVMX: Ignore limit checks on VMX instructions using flat segments</title>

commit 34333cc6c2cb021662fd32e24e618d1b86de95bf upstream.

Regarding segments with a limit==0xffffffff, the SDM officially states:

    When the effective limit is FFFFFFFFH (4 GBytes), these accesses may
    or may not cause the indicated exceptions.  Behavior is
    implementation-specific and may vary from one execution to another.

In practice, all CPUs that support VMX ignore limit checks for "flat
segments", i.e. an expand-up data or code segment with base=0 and
limit=0xffffffff.  This is subtly different than wrapping the effective
address calculation based on the address size, as the flat segment
behavior also applies to accesses that would wrap the 4g boundary, e.g.
a 4-byte access starting at 0xffffffff will access linear addresses
0xffffffff, 0x0, 0x1 and 0x2.

commit 8570f9e881e3fde98801bb3a47eef84dd934d405 upstream.

The address size of an instruction affects the effective address, not
the virtual/linear address.  The final address may still be truncated,
e.g. to 32-bits outside of long mode, but that happens irrespective of
the address size, e.g. a 32-bit address size can yield a 64-bit virtual
address when using FS/GS with a non-zero base.

<title>KVM: nVMX: Sign extend displacements of VMX instr's mem operands</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9ce0ffeb68b6b78c5186add2295d961226b0bbf9</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 946c522b603f281195af1df91837a1d4d1eb3bc9 upstream.

The VMCS.EXIT_QUALIFCATION field reports the displacements of memory
operands for various instructions, including VMX instructions, as a
naturally sized unsigned value, but masks the value by the addr size,
e.g. given a ModRM encoded as -0x28(%ebp), the -0x28 displacement is
reported as 0xffffffd8 for a 32-bit address size.  Despite some weird
wording regarding sign extension, the SDM explicitly states that bits
beyond the instructions address size are undefined:

    In all cases, bits of this field beyond the instructionâ€™s address
    size are undefined.

Failure to sign extend the displacement results in KVM incorrectly
treating a negative displacement as a large positive displacement when
the address size of the VMX instruction is smaller than KVM's native
size, e.g. a 32-bit address size on a 64-bit KVM.

The very original decoding, added by commit 064aea774768 ("KVM: nVMX:
Decoding memory operands of VMX instructions"), sort of modeled sign
extension by truncating the final virtual/linear address for a 32-bit
address size.  I.e. it messed up the effective address but made it work
by adjusting the final address.

When segmentation checks were added, the truncation logic was kept
as-is and no sign extension logic was introduced.  In other words, it
kept calculating the wrong effective address while mostly generating
the correct virtual/linear address.  As the effective address is what's
used in the segment limit checks, this results in KVM incorreclty
injecting #GP/#SS faults due to non-existent segment violations when
a nested VMM uses negative displacements with an address size smaller
than KVM's native address size.

Using the -0x28(%ebp) example, an EBP value of 0x1000 will result in
KVM using 0x100000fd8 as the effective address when checking for a
segment limit violation.  This causes a 100% failure rate when running
a 32-bit KVM build as L1 on top of a 64-bit KVM L0.

<title>KVM: x86/mmu: Do not cache MMIO accesses while memslots are in flux</title>

commit ddfd1730fd829743e41213e32ccc8b4aa6dc8325 upstream.

When installing new memslots, KVM sets bit 0 of the generation number to
indicate that an update is in-progress.  Until the update is complete,
there are no guarantees as to whether a vCPU will see the old or the new
memslots.  Explicity prevent caching MMIO accesses so as to avoid using
an access cached from the old memslots after the new memslots have been
installed.

Note that it is unclear whether or not disabling caching during the
update window is strictly necessary as there is no definitive
documentation as to what ordering guarantees KVM provides with respect
to updating memslots.  That being said, the MMIO spte code does not
allow reusing sptes created while an update is in-progress, and the
associated documentation explicitly states:

    We do not want to use an MMIO sptes created with an odd generation
    number, ...  If KVM is unlucky and creates an MMIO spte while the
    low bit is 1, the next access to the spte will always be a cache miss.

At the very least, disabling the per-vCPU MMIO cache during updates will
make its behavior consistent with the MMIO spte behavior and
documentation.

<title>KVM: x86/mmu: Detect MMIO generation wrap in any address space</title>

commit e1359e2beb8b0a1188abc997273acbaedc8ee791 upstream.

The check to detect a wrap of the MMIO generation explicitly looks for a
generation number of zero.  Now that unique memslots generation numbers
are assigned to each address space, only address space 0 will get a
generation number of exactly zero when wrapping.  E.g. when address
space 1 goes from 0x7fffe to 0x80002, the MMIO generation number will
wrap to 0x2.  Adjust the MMIO generation to strip the address space
modifier prior to checking for a wrap.

<title>KVM: Call kvm_arch_memslots_updated() before updating memslots</title>

<id>urn:sha1:23ad135ae66f7f2b743885b47867c2bd636baf1f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 152482580a1b0accb60676063a1ac57b2d12daf6 upstream.

kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is at this point in time an x86-specific
hook for handling MMIO generation wraparound.  x86 stashes 19 bits of
the memslots generation number in its MMIO sptes in order to avoid
full page fault walks for repeat faults on emulated MMIO addresses.
Because only 19 bits are used, wrapping the MMIO generation number is
possible, if unlikely.  kvm_arch_memslots_updated() alerts x86 that
the generation has changed so that it can invalidate all MMIO sptes in
case the effective MMIO generation has wrapped so as to avoid using a
stale spte, e.g. a (very) old spte that was created with generation==0.

Given that the purpose of kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is to prevent
consuming stale entries, it needs to be called before the new generation
is propagated to memslots.  Invalidating the MMIO sptes after updating
memslots means that there is a window where a vCPU could dereference
the new memslots generation, e.g. 0, and incorrectly reuse an old MMIO
spte that was created with (pre-wrap) generation==0.

commit 59d3191f14dc18881fec1172c7096b7863622803 upstream.

Powerplay functions called from dm_pp_* functions tend to do a
mutex_lock which isn't safe to do inside a kernel_fpu_begin/end block as
those will disable/enable preemption.

Rearrange the dm_pp_get_clock_levels_by_type_with_voltage calls to make
sure they happen outside of kernel_fpu_begin/end.
