If more than 1024 event channels are bound to a evtchn device then it
possible (even with well behaved applications) for the ring to
overflow and events to be lost (reported as an -EFBIG error).

Dynamically increase the size of the ring so there is always enough
space for all bound events.  Well behaved applicables that only unmask
events after draining them from the ring can thus no longer lose
events.

However, an application could unmask an event before draining it,
allowing multiple entries per port to accumulate in the ring, and a
overflow could still occur.  So the overflow detection and reporting
is retained.

The ring size is initially only 64 entries so the common use case of
an application only binding a few events will use less memory than
before.  The ring size may grow to 512 KiB (enough for all 2^17
possible channels).  This order 7 kmalloc() may fail due to memory
fragmentation, so we fall back to trying vmalloc().

I'm somewhat surprised that you can reliably hit the race where flushing
gets disabled for the device just while the request is in flight. But I
guess during boot it makes some sense.

This patch removes the vpid check when emulating nested invvpid
instruction of type all-contexts invalidation. The existing code is
incorrect because:
 (1) According to Intel SDM Vol 3, Section "INVVPID - Invalidate
     Translations Based on VPID", invvpid instruction does not check
     vpid in the invvpid descriptor when its type is all-contexts
     invalidation.
 (2) According to the same document, invvpid of type all-contexts
     invalidation does not require there is an active VMCS, so/and
     get_vmcs12() in the existing code may result in a NULL-pointer
     dereference. In practice, it can crash both KVM itself and L1
     hypervisors that use invvpid (e.g. Xen).

We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power)
is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit
DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control
Entries).

The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the
PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment
matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size,
as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of
8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the
BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple
of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000).

In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the
IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this
function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device
page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an
API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the
interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe
device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and
implementation across all architectures in the next merge window.

With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test
exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel
will BUG within a few minutes.

We were incorrectly removing the active state from the physical
distributor on the timer interrupt when the timer output level was
deasserted.  We shouldn't be doing this without considering the virtual
interrupt's active state, because the architecture requires that when an
LR has the HW bit set and the pending or active bits set, then the
physical interrupt must also have the corresponding bits set.

This addresses an issue where we have been observing an inconsistency
between the LR state and the physical distributor state where the LR
state was active and the physical distributor was not active, which
shouldn't happen.

When running a 32bit guest under a 64bit hypervisor, the ARMv8
architecture defines a mapping of the 32bit registers in the 64bit
space. This includes banked registers that are being demultiplexed
over the 64bit ones.

On exceptions caused by an operation involving a 32bit register, the
HW exposes the register number in the ESR_EL2 register. It was so
far understood that SW had to distinguish between AArch32 and AArch64
accesses (based on the current AArch32 mode and register number).

It turns out that I misinterpreted the ARM ARM, and the clue is in
D1.20.1: "For some exceptions, the exception syndrome given in the
ESR_ELx identifies one or more register numbers from the issued
instruction that generated the exception. Where the exception is
taken from an Exception level using AArch32 these register numbers
give the AArch64 view of the register."

Which means that the HW is already giving us the translated version,
and that we shouldn't try to interpret it at all (for example, doing
an MMIO operation from the IRQ mode using the LR register leads to
very unexpected behaviours).

The fix is thus not to perform a call to vcpu_reg32() at all from
vcpu_reg(), and use whatever register number is supplied directly.
The only case we need to find out about the mapping is when we
actively generate a register access, which only occurs when injecting
a fault in a guest.

The open coded tests for checking whether a PTE maps a page as
uncached use a flawed '(pte_val(xxx) & CONST) != CONST' pattern,
which is not guaranteed to work since the type of a mapping is
not a set of mutually exclusive bits

For HYP mappings, the type is an index into the MAIR table (i.e, the
index itself does not contain any information whatsoever about the
type of the mapping), and for stage-2 mappings it is a bit field where
normal memory and device types are defined as follows:

    #define MT_S2_NORMAL            0xf
    #define MT_S2_DEVICE_nGnRE      0x1

I.e., masking *and* comparing with the latter matches on the former,
and we have been getting lucky merely because the S2 device mappings
also have the PTE_UXN bit set, or we would misidentify memory mappings
as device mappings.

Since the unmap_range() code path (which contains one instance of the
flawed test) is used both for HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings, and
considering the difference between the two, it is non-trivial to fix
this by rewriting the tests in place, as it would involve passing
down the type of mapping through all the functions.

However, since HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings both deal with host
physical addresses, we can simply check whether the mapping is backed
by memory that is managed by the host kernel, and only perform the
D-cache maintenance if this is the case.

Commit 296291cd (mm: make sendfile(2) killable) fixed an issue where
sendfile(2) was doing a lot of tiny writes into a filesystem and thus
was unkillable for a long time. However sendfile(2) can be (mis)used to
issue lots of writes into arbitrary file descriptor such as evenfd or
similar special file descriptors which never hit the standard filesystem
write path and thus are still unkillable. E.g. the following example
from Dmitry burns CPU for ~16s on my test system without possibility to
be killed:

        int r1 = eventfd(0, 0);
        int r2 = memfd_create("", 0);
        unsigned long n = 1<<30;
        fallocate(r2, 0, 0, n);
        sendfile(r1, r2, 0, n);

There are actually quite a few tests for pending signals in sendfile
code however we data to write is always available none of them seems to
trigger. So fix the problem by adding a test for pending signal into
splice_from_pipe_next() also before the loop waiting for pipe buffers to
be available. This should fix all the lockup issues with sendfile of the

wasn't caught earlier because the device-mapper-test-suite's extensive
'thin-provisioning' discard tests are only ever performed against
thin-pool's with data devices that support discards.

Fix is to have thin_io_hints() test the pool's 'discard_enabled' feature
rather than inferring whether or not a thin device's discard support
should be enabled by looking at the thin-pool's discard_granularity.

Fixes STAR 9000953410: "perf callgraph profiling causing RCU stalls"

| perf record -g -c 15000 -e cycles /sbin/hackbench
|
| INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
| 1: (1 GPs behind) idle=609/140000000000002/0 softirq=2914/2915 fqs=603
| Task dump for CPU 1:

in-kernel dwarf unwinder has a fast binary lookup and a fallback linear
search (which iterates thru each of ~11K entries) thus takes 2 orders of
magnitude longer (~3 million cycles vs. 2000). Routines written in hand
assembler lack dwarf info (as we don't support assembler CFI pseudo-ops
yet) fail the unwinder binary lookup, hit linear search, failing
nevertheless in the end.

However the linear search is pointless as binary lookup tables are created
from it in first place. It is impossible to have binary lookup fail while
succeed the linear search. It is pure waste of cycles thus removed by
this patch.

This manifested as RCU stalls / NMI watchdog splat when running
hackbench under perf with callgraph profiling. The triggering condition
was perf counter overflowing in routine lacking dwarf info (like memset)
leading to patheic 3 million cycle unwinder slow path and by the time it
returned new interrupts were already pending (Timer, IPI) and taken
rightaway. The original memset didn't make forward progress, system kept
accruing more interrupts and more unwinder delayes in a vicious feedback
loop, ultimately triggering the NMI diagnostic.

Currently we can hit a scenario where we'll tm_reclaim() twice.  This
results in a TM bad thing exception because the second reclaim occurs
when not in suspend mode.

The scenario in which this can happen is the following.  We attempt to
deliver a signal to userspace.  To do this we need obtain the stack
pointer to write the signal context.  To get this stack pointer we
must tm_reclaim() in case we need to use the checkpointed stack
pointer (see get_tm_stackpointer()).  Normally we'd then return
directly to userspace to deliver the signal without going through
__switch_to().

Unfortunatley, if at this point we get an error (such as a bad
userspace stack pointer), we need to exit the process.  The exit will
result in a __switch_to().  __switch_to() will attempt to save the
process state which results in another tm_reclaim().  This
tm_reclaim() now causes a TM Bad Thing exception as this state has
already been saved and the processor is no longer in TM suspend mode.
Whee!

This patch checks the state of the MSR to ensure we are TM suspended
before we attempt the tm_reclaim().  If we've already saved the state
away, we should no longer be in TM suspend mode.  This has the
additional advantage of checking for a potential TM Bad Thing
exception.

Found using syscall fuzzer.

Currently we allow both the MSR T and S bits to be set by userspace on
a signal return.  Unfortunately this is a reserved configuration and
will cause a TM Bad Thing exception if attempted (via rfid).

This patch checks for this case in both the 32 and 64 bit signals
code.  If both T and S are set, we mark the context as invalid.
