Add the prefix register to the synced register field in kvm_run. While we need the prefix register most of the time read-only, this patch also adds handling for guest dirtying of the prefix register.

On some cpus the overhead for virtualization instructions is in the same range as a system call. Having to call multiple ioctls to get set registers will make certain userspace handled exits more expensive than necessary. Lets provide a section in kvm_run that works as a shared save area for guest registers. We also provide two 64bit flags fields (architecture specific), that will specify 1. which parts of these fields are valid. 2. which registers were modified by userspace Each bit for these flag fields will define a group of registers (like general purpose) or a single register.

There are several places in the kvm module, which set the prefix register. Since we need to flush the cpu, lets combine this operation into a helper function. This helper will also explicitely mask out the unused bits.

In some cases guests should not provide workarounds for errata even when the physical processor is affected. For example, because of erratum 400 on family 10h processors a Linux guest will read an MSR (resulting in VMEXIT) before going to idle in order to avoid getting stuck in a non-C0 state. This is not necessary: HLT and IO instructions are intercepted and therefore there is no reason for erratum 400 workaround in the guest. This patch allows us to present a guest with certain errata as fixed, regardless of the state of actual hardware.

This patch allows the user to fault in pages on a virtual cpus address space for user controlled virtual machines. Typically this is superfluous because userspace can just create a mapping and let the kernel's page fault logic take are of it. There is one exception: SIE won't start if the lowcore is not present. Normally the kernel takes care of this [handle_validity() in arch/s390/kvm/intercept.c] but since the kernel does not handle intercepts for user controlled virtual machines, userspace needs to be able to handle this condition.

This patch disables in-kernel handling of SIE intercepts for user controlled virtual machines.

This patch exports the s390 SIE hardware control block to userspace via the mapping of the vcpu file descriptor. In order to do so, a new arch callback named kvm_arch_vcpu_fault is introduced for all architectures. It allows to map architecture specific pages.

This patch introduces a new exit reason in the kvm_run structure named KVM_EXIT_S390_UCONTROL. This exit indicates, that a virtual cpu has regognized a fault on the host page table. The idea is that userspace can handle this fault by mapping memory at the fault location into the cpu's address space and then continue to run the virtual cpu.

This patch introduces two ioctls for virtual cpus, that are only valid for kernel virtual machines that are controlled by userspace. Each virtual cpu has its individual address space in this mode of operation, and each address space is backed by the gmap implementation just like the address space for regular KVM guests. KVM_S390_UCAS_MAP allows to map a part of the user's virtual address space to the vcpu. Starting offset and length in both the user and the vcpu address space need to be aligned to 1M. KVM_S390_UCAS_UNMAP can be used to unmap a range of memory from a virtual cpu in a similar way.

This patch introduces a new config option for user controlled kernel virtual machines. It introduces a parameter to KVM_CREATE_VM that allows to set bits that alter the capabilities of the newly created virtual machine. The parameter is passed to kvm_arch_init_vm for all architectures. The only valid modifier bit for now is KVM_VM_S390_UCONTROL. This requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges and creates a user controlled virtual machine on s390 architectures.

IOMMU fixes for Linux 3.3-rc5 All the fixes are for the OMAP IOMMU driver. The first patch is the biggest one. It fixes the calls of the function omap_find_iovm_area() in the omap-iommu-debug module which expects a 'struct device' parameter since commit fabdbca8 instead of an omap_iommu handle. The omap-iommu-debug code still passed the handle to the function which caused a crash. The second patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference in the OMAP code and the third patch makes sure that the omap-iommu is initialized before the omap-isp driver, which relies on the iommu. The last patch is only a workaround until defered probing is implemented. * tag 'iommu-fixes-v3.3-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu: ARM: OMAP: make iommu subsys_initcall to fix builtin omap3isp iommu/omap: fix NULL pointer dereference iommu/omap: fix erroneous omap-iommu-debug API calls

This makes mount take slightly longer, but at the same time, the first write to the filesystem will be faster too. It also means that if there is a problem in the resource index, then we can refuse to mount rather than having to try and report that when the first write occurs. In addition, to avoid recursive locking, we hvae to take account of instances when the rindex glock may already be held when we are trying to update the rbtree of resource groups.

This patch fixes a problem whereby gfs2_grow was failing and causing GFS2 to assert. The problem was that when GFS2's fallocate operation tried to acquire an "allocation" it made sure the rindex was up to date, and if not, it called gfs2_rindex_update. However, if the file being fallocated was the rindex itself, it was already locked at that point. By calling gfs2_rindex_update at an earlier point in time, we bring rindex up to date and thereby avoid trying to lock it when the "allocation" is acquired.

Merge tag 'ktest-fix-make-min-failed-build-for-real' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest While demoing ktest at ELC in 2012, it was embarrassing that the make_min_config test failed to work because the snowball board I was testing it against had a config that would not build. But the make_min_config only tested the testing part and ignored build failures. The end result was a config file that would not boot. This time, for real. * tag 'ktest-fix-make-min-failed-build-for-real' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest: ktest: Fix make_min_config test when build fails

The make_min_config does not take into account when the build fails, resulting in a invalid MIN_CONFIG .config file. When the build fails, it is ignored and the boot test is executed, using the previous built kernel. The configs that should be tested are not tested and they may be added or removed depending on the result of the last kernel that succeeded to be built. If the build fails, mark the current config as a failure and the configs that were disabled may still be needed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
