Handle Data and  Instruction exceptions caused by memory
protection-key.

The CPU will detect the key fault if the HPTE is already
programmed with the key.

However if the HPTE is not  hashed, a key fault will not
be detected by the hardware. The software will detect
pkey violation in such a case.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Improve handling of debug-trigger HMIs on POWER9</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d075745d893c78730e4a3b7a60fca23c2f764081</id>
<content type='text'>
Hypervisor maintenance interrupts (HMIs) are generated by various
causes, signalled by bits in the hypervisor maintenance exception
register (HMER).  In most cases calling OPAL to handle the interrupt
is the correct thing to do, but the "debug trigger" HMIs signalled by
PPC bit 17 (bit 46) of HMER are used to invoke software workarounds
for hardware bugs, and OPAL does not have any code to handle this
cause.  The debug trigger HMI is used in POWER9 DD2.0 and DD2.1 chips
to work around a hardware bug in executing vector load instructions to
cache inhibited memory.  In POWER9 DD2.2 chips, it is generated when
conditions are detected relating to threads being in TM (transactional
memory) suspended mode when the core SMT configuration needs to be
reconfigured.

The kernel currently has code to detect the vector CI load condition,
but only when the HMI occurs in the host, not when it occurs in a
guest.  If a HMI occurs in the guest, it is always passed to OPAL, and
then we always re-sync the timebase, because the HMI cause might have
been a timebase error, for which OPAL would re-sync the timebase, thus
removing the timebase offset which KVM applied for the guest.  Since
we don't know what OPAL did, we don't know whether to subtract the
timebase offset from the timebase, so instead we re-sync the timebase.

This adds code to determine explicitly what the cause of a debug
trigger HMI will be.  This is based on a new device-tree property
under the CPU nodes called ibm,hmi-special-triggers, if it is
present, or otherwise based on the PVR (processor version register).
The handling of debug trigger HMIs is pulled out into a separate
function which can be called from the KVM guest exit code.  If this
function handles and clears the HMI, and no other HMI causes remain,
then we skip calling OPAL and we proceed to subtract the guest
timebase offset from the timebase.

The overall handling for HMIs that occur in the host (i.e. not in a
KVM guest) is largely unchanged, except that we now don't set the flag
for the vector CI load workaround on DD2.2 processors.

This also removes a BUG_ON in the KVM code.  BUG_ON is generally not
useful in KVM guest entry/exit code since it is difficult to handle
the resulting trap gracefully.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

.llong is an undocumented PPC specific directive. The generic
equivalent is .quad, but even better (because it's self describing) is
.8byte.

Convert all .llong directives to .8byte.

This updates the definitions for the various DSISR bits to
match both some historical stuff and to match new bits on
POWER9.

In addition, we define some masks corresponding to the "bad"
faults on Book3S, and some masks corresponding to the bits
that match between DSISR and SRR1 for a DSI and an ISI.

This comes with a small code update to change the definition
of DSISR_PGDIRFAULT which becomes DSISR_PRTABLE_FAULT to
match architecture 3.0B
