Which is the equivalent of what we have in regular waitqueues. I'm not crazy about the name, but this also helps us get both apis closer -- which iirc comes originally from the -net folks. We also duplicate the comments for the lockless swait_active(), from wait.h. Future users will make use of this interface.

The value of the guest_irq argument to vmx_update_pi_irte() is ultimately coming from a KVM_IRQFD API call. Do not BUG() in vmx_update_pi_irte() if the value is out-of bounds. (Especially, since KVM as a whole seems to hang after that.) Instead, print a message only once if we find that we don't have a route for a certain IRQ (which can be out-of-bounds or within the array). This fixes CVE-2017-1000252.

If L1 does not specify the "use TPR shadow" VM-execution control in vmcs12, then L0 must specify the "CR8-load exiting" and "CR8-store exiting" VM-execution controls in vmcs02. Failure to do so will give the L2 VM unrestricted read/write access to the hardware CR8. This fixes CVE-2017-12154.

Then, when the host next accesses the vmemmap region, it gets a page fault. Commit a25bd72b ("powerpc/mm/radix: Workaround prefetch issue with KVM", 2017-07-24) modified the guest exit code so that it now only clears out the SLB for hash guest. The code tests the radix flag and puts the result in a non-volatile CR field, CR2, and later branches based on CR2. Unfortunately, the kvmppc_save_tm function, which gets called between those two points, modifies all the user-visible registers in the case where the guest was in transactional or suspended state, except for a few which it restores (namely r1, r2, r9 and r13). Thus the hash/radix indication in CR2 gets corrupted. This fixes the problem by re-doing the comparison just before the result is needed. For good measure, this also adds comments next to the call sites of kvmppc_save_tm and kvmppc_restore_tm pointing out that non-volatile register state will be lost.

Commit 468808bd ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Set process table for HPT guests on POWER9", 2017-01-30) added a call to kvmppc_update_lpcr() which doesn't hold the kvm->lock mutex around the call, as required. This adds the lock/unlock pair, and for good measure, includes the kvmppc_setup_partition_table() call in the locked region, since it is altering global state of the VM. This error appears not to have any fatal consequences for the host; the consequences would be that the VCPUs could end up running with different LPCR values, or an update to the LPCR value by userspace using the one_reg interface could get overwritten, or the update done by kvmhv_configure_mmu() could get overwritten.

I had stupidly missed one special use of 'is_reserved_word()' when I converted the code to avoid gperf. I had changed that function to return the token ID directly rather than a pointer to the token descriptor structure, but that meant that the test for "is this a reserved word" changed from checking the return value against NULL, to checking that it wasn't negative. And while I had converted the main token parser over, I missed the special case of the typeof phrase handling. And since our dependency chain for genksyms does not include the genksyms program itself changing, my kernel rebuild didn't show the problem.

This fix was intended for 4.13, but didn't get in because both maintainers were on vacation. Paul Mackerras: "It adds mutual exclusion between list_add_rcu and list_del_rcu calls on the kvm->arch.spapr_tce_tables list. Without this, userspace could potentially trigger corruption of the list and cause a host crash or worse."

Remove our use of 'gperf' for generating perfect hashes from some of our build tools. This removal was prompted by Masahiro Yamada sending out a patch that removes all our pre-generated files, and when I tested it, I noticed that the gperf version I have (3.1) apparently generates code that no longer works with out code-base because the function interfaces generated by gperf have changed. We really don't care that much, and the gperf people changed their interfaces in ways that makes it annoying to work with them. Tools that make it hard to use them should not be used, and the kernel is not at all interested in some autoconf mess. So remove the gperf dependency entirely. It turns out that if you ignore the pre-generated files, the use of gperf apparently saved us a whopping fifteen lines of code. It obviously wasn't worth it, considering that the pre-generated files are about 500 lines. I sent this out as a patch about three weeks ago, and got absolutely zero responses. So let's see if anybody notices now that I merge it. Because there might be serious bugs here, but it WorksForMe(tm). * gperf-removal: Remove gperf usage from toolchain

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley: "This is mostly updates of the usual suspects: lpfc, qla2xxx, hisi_sas, megaraid_sas, zfcp and a host of minor updates. The major driver change here is the elimination of the block based cciss driver in favour of the SCSI based hpsa driver (which now drives all the legacy cases cciss used to be required for).

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore: "A small pull request for audit this time, only four patches and only two with any real code changes. Those two changes are the removal of a pointless SELinux AVC initialization audit event and a fix to improve the audit timestamp overhead. The other two patches are comment cleanup and administrative updates, nothing very exciting.

Pull secureexec update from Kees Cook: "This series has the ultimate goal of providing a sane stack rlimit when running set*id processes. To do this, the bprm_secureexec LSM hook is collapsed into the bprm_set_creds hook so the secureexec-ness of an exec can be determined early enough to make decisions about rlimits and the resulting memory layouts. Other logic acting on the secureexec-ness of an exec is similarly consolidated. Capabilities needed some special handling, but the refactoring removed other special handling, so that was a wash" * tag 'secureexec-v4.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: exec: Consolidate pdeath_signal clearing exec: Use sane stack rlimit under secureexec exec: Consolidate dumpability logic smack: Remove redundant pdeath_signal clearing exec: Use secureexec for clearing pdeath_signal exec: Use secureexec for setting dumpability LSM: drop bprm_secureexec hook commoncap: Move cap_elevated calculation into bprm_set_creds commoncap: Refactor to remove bprm_secureexec hook smack: Refactor to remove bprm_secureexec hook selinux: Refactor to remove bprm_secureexec hook apparmor: Refactor to remove bprm_secureexec hook binfmt: Introduce secureexec flag exec: Correct comments about "point of no return" exec: Rename bprm->cred_prepared to called_set_creds
