We use logical negate where bitwise negate was intended.  It means that
we never return -EINVAL here.

commit fa73c3b25bd8d0d393dc6109a1dba3c2aef0451e upstream.

The MMCR2 register is available twice, one time with number 785
(privileged access), and one time with number 769 (unprivileged,
but it can be disabled completely). In former times, the Linux
kernel was using the unprivileged register 769 only, but since
commit 8dd75ccb571f3c92c ("powerpc: Use privileged SPR number
for MMCR2"), it uses the privileged register 785 instead.
The KVM-PR code then of course also switched to use the SPR 785,
but this is causing older guest kernels to crash, since these
kernels still access 769 instead. So to support older kernels
with KVM-PR again, we have to support register 769 in KVM-PR, too.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore TM state in H_CEDE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9e8972025b18822e6cb9a19cb1a43fde83561e23</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 93d17397e4e2182fdaad503e2f9da46202c0f1c3 upstream.

It turns out that if the guest does a H_CEDE while the CPU is in
a transactional state, and the H_CEDE does a nap, and the nap
loses the architected state of the CPU (which is is allowed to do),
then we lose the checkpointed state of the virtual CPU.  In addition,
the transactional-memory state recorded in the MSR gets reset back
to non-transactional, and when we try to return to the guest, we take
a TM bad thing type of program interrupt because we are trying to
transition from non-transactional to transactional with a hrfid
instruction, which is not permitted.

The result of the program interrupt occurring at that point is that
the host CPU will hang in an infinite loop with interrupts disabled.
Thus this is a denial of service vulnerability in the host which can
be triggered by any guest (and depending on the guest kernel, it can
potentially triggered by unprivileged userspace in the guest).

This vulnerability has been assigned the ID CVE-2016-5412.

To fix this, we save the TM state before napping and restore it
on exit from the nap, when handling a H_CEDE in real mode.  The
case where H_CEDE exits to host virtual mode is already OK (as are
other hcalls which exit to host virtual mode) because the exit
path saves the TM state.

<content type='text'>
commit f024ee098476a3e620232e4a78cfac505f121245 upstream.

This moves the transactional memory state save and restore sequences
out of the guest entry/exit paths into separate procedures.  This is
so that these sequences can be used in going into and out of nap
in a subsequent patch.

The only code changes here are (a) saving and restore LR on the
stack, since these new procedures get called with a bl instruction,
(b) explicitly saving r1 into the PACA instead of assuming that
HSTATE_HOST_R1(r13) is already set, and (c) removing an unnecessary
and redundant setting of MSR[TM] that should have been removed by
commit 9d4d0bdd9e0a ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add transactional memory
support", 2013-09-24) but wasn't.

<title>KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify wakeups during poll</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3491caf2755e9f312666712510d80b00c81ff247</id>
<content type='text'>
Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.

For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
not sucessful. As  KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.

This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
while still providing a proper speedup.

This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

<content type='text'>
Commit c9a5eccac1ab ("kvm/eventfd: add arch-specific set_irq",
2015-10-16) added the possibility for architecture-specific code
to handle the generation of virtual interrupts in atomic context
where possible, without having to schedule a work function.

Since we can easily generate virtual interrupts on XICS without
having to do anything worse than take a spinlock, we define a
kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic() for XICS.  We also remove kvm_set_msi()
since it is not used any more.

The one slightly tricky thing is that with the new interface, we
don't get told whether the interrupt is an MSI (or other edge
sensitive interrupt) vs. level-sensitive.  The difference as far
as interrupt generation is concerned is that for LSIs we have to
set the asserted flag so it will continue to fire until it is
explicitly cleared.

In fact the XICS code gets told which interrupts are LSIs by userspace
when it configures the interrupt via the KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES
attribute group on the XICS device.  To store this information, we add
a new "lsi" field to struct ics_irq_state.  With that we can also do a
better job of returning accurate values when reading the attribute
group.

<id>urn:sha1:eb8b0560160d8363bc40ca05a75ef144cebaae72</id>
<content type='text'>
When the guest does a sign-extending load instruction (such as lha
or lwa) to an emulated MMIO location, it results in a call to
kvmppc_handle_loads() in the host.  That function sets the
vcpu-&gt;arch.mmio_sign_extend flag and calls kvmppc_handle_load()
to do the rest of the work.  However, kvmppc_handle_load() sets
the mmio_sign_extend flag to 0 unconditionally, so the sign
extension never gets done.

To fix this, we rename kvmppc_handle_load to __kvmppc_handle_load
and add an explicit parameter to indicate whether sign extension
is required.  kvmppc_handle_load() and kvmppc_handle_loads() then
become 1-line functions that just call __kvmppc_handle_load()
with the extra parameter.
