Pull KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Here are the 3.13 KVM changes. There was a lot of work on the PPC
side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel
is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view.
On the x86 side there are nested virtualization improvements and a few
bugfixes.
ARM got transparent huge page support, improved overcommit, and
support for big endian guests.
Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO. This
helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the
driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions. This includes some
nVidia cards on Windows, that fail to start without these patches and
the corresponding userspace changes"

The memory pinning code in uaccess_with_memcpy.c does not check
for HugeTLB or THP pmds, and will enter an infinite loop should
a __copy_to_user or __clear_user occur against a huge page.
This patch adds detection code for huge pages to pin_page_for_write.
As this code can be executed in a fast path it refers to the actual
pmds rather than the vma. If a HugeTLB or THP is found (they have
the same pmd representation on ARM), the page table spinlock is
taken to prevent modification whilst the page is pinned.
On ARM, huge pages are only represented as pmds, thus no huge pud
checks are performed. (For huge puds one would lock the page table
in a similar manner as in the pmd case).
Two helper functions are introduced; pmd_thp_or_huge will check
whether or not a page is huge or transparent huge (which have the
same pmd layout on ARM), and pmd_hugewillfault will detect whether
or not a page fault will occur on write to the page.
Running the following test (with the chunking from read_zero
removed):
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1024
Gave: 2.3 GB/s backed by normal pages,
2.9 GB/s backed by huge pages,
5.1 GB/s backed by huge pages, with page mask=HPAGE_MASK.
After some discussion, it was decided not to adopt the HPAGE_MASK,
as this would have a significant detrimental effect on the overall
system latency due to page_table_lock being held for too long.
This could be revisited if split huge page locks are adopted.

Support huge pages in KVM/ARM and KVM/ARM64. The pud_huge checking on
the unmap path may feel a bit silly as the pud_huge check is always
defined to false, but the compiler should be smart about this.
Note: This deals only with VMAs marked as huge which are allocated by
users through hugetlbfs only. Transparent huge pages can only be
detected by looking at the underlying pages (or the page tables
themselves) and this patch so far simply maps these on a page-by-page
level in the Stage-2 page tables.

The patch adds support for THP (transparent huge pages) to LPAE
systems. When this feature is enabled, the kernel tries to map
anonymous pages as 2MB sections where possible.

This patch adds support for hugetlbfs based on the x86 implementation.
It allows mapping of 2MB sections (see Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt
for usage). The 64K pages configuration is not supported (section size
is 512MB in this case).

For 3 levels of paging the PTE_EXT_NG bit will be set for user
address ptes that are written to a page table but not for ptes
created with mk_pte.
This can cause some comparison tests made by pte_same to fail
spuriously and lead to other problems.
To correct this behaviour, we mask off PTE_EXT_NG for any pte that
is present before running the comparison.

For 2-level page tables, PTE_HWTABLE_PTRS describes the offset between
Linux PTEs and hardware PTEs. On LPAE, there is no distinction (since
we have 64-bit descriptors with plenty of space) so PTE_HWTABLE_PTRS
should be 0. Unfortunately, it is wrongly defined as PTRS_PER_PTE,
meaning that current pte table flushing is off by a page. Luckily,
all current LPAE implementations are SMP, so the hardware walker can
snoop L1.
This patch fixes the broken definition.

This patch applies to PAGE_MASK, PMD_MASK, and PGDIR_MASK, where forcing
unsigned long math truncates the mask at the 32-bits. This clearly does bad
things on PAE systems.
This patch fixes this problem by defining these masks as signed quantities.
We then rely on sign extension to do the right thing.

Looks like our L_PTE_S2_RDWR definition is slightly wrong,
and is actually write only (see ARM ARM Table B3-9, Stage 2 control
of access permissions). Didn't make a difference for normal pages,
as we OR the flags together, but I'm still wondering how it worked
for Stage-2 mapped devices, such as the GIC.
Brown paper bag time, again.

KVM uses the stage-2 page tables and the Hyp page table format,
so we define the fields and page protection flags needed by KVM.
The nomenclature is this:
- page_hyp: PL2 code/data mappings
- page_hyp_device: PL2 device mappings (vgic access)
- page_s2: Stage-2 code/data page mappings
- page_s2_device: Stage-2 device mappings (vgic access)

PROT_NONE mappings apply the page protection attributes defined by _P000
which translate to PAGE_NONE for ARM. These attributes specify an XN,
RDONLY pte that is inaccessible to userspace. However, on kernels
configured without support for domains, such a pte *is* accessible to
the kernel and can be read via get_user, allowing tasks to read
PROT_NONE pages via syscalls such as read/write over a pipe.
This patch introduces a new software pte flag, L_PTE_NONE, that is set
to identify faulting, present entries.

For long-descriptor translation table formats, the ARMv7 architecture
defines the last two bits of the second- and third-level descriptors to
be:
x0b - Invalid
01b - Block (second-level), Reserved (third-level)
11b - Table (second-level), Page (third-level)
This allows us to define L_PTE_PRESENT as (3 << 0) and use this value to
create ptes directly. However, when determining whether a given pte
value is present in the low-level page table accessors, we only need to
check the least significant bit of the descriptor, allowing us to write
faulting, present entries which are required for PROT_NONE mappings.
This patch introduces L_PTE_VALID, which can be used to test whether a
pte should fault, and updates the low-level page table accessors
accordingly.

This patch modifies the pgd/pmd/pte manipulation functions to support
the 3-level page table format. Since there is no need for an 'ext'
argument to cpu_set_pte_ext(), this patch conditionally defines a
different prototype for this function when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE.
The patch also introduces the L_PGD_SWAPPER flag to mark pgd entries
pointing to pmd tables pre-allocated in the swapper_pg_dir and avoid
trying to free them at run-time. This flag is 0 with the classic page
table format.

This patch introduces the pgtable-3level*.h files with definitions
specific to the LPAE page table format (3 levels of page tables).
Each table is 4KB and has 512 64-bit entries. An entry can point to a
40-bit physical address. The young, write and exec software bits share
the corresponding hardware bits (negated). Other software bits use spare
bits in the PTE.
The patch also changes some variable types from unsigned long or int to
pteval_t or pgprot_t.
