commit d4b9e0790aa764c0b01e18d4e8d33e93ba36d51f upstream.

The ARM architecture mandates that when changing a page table entry
from a valid entry to another valid entry, an invalid entry is first
written, TLB invalidated, and only then the new entry being written.

The current code doesn't respect this, directly writing the new
entry and only then invalidating TLBs. Let's fix it up.

<title>arm/arm64: KVM: Fix ioctl error handling</title>

Calling return copy_to_user(...) in an ioctl will not
do the right thing if there's a pagefault:
copy_to_user returns the number of bytes not copied
in this case.

Fix up kvm to do
	return copy_to_user(...)) ?  -EFAULT : 0;

everywhere.

<title>arm/arm64: KVM: Feed initialized memory to MMIO accesses</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1d6a821277aaa0cdd666278aaff93298df313d41</id>
<content type='text'>
On an MMIO access, we always copy the on-stack buffer info
the shared "run" structure, even if this is a read access.
This ends up leaking up to 8 bytes of uninitialized memory
into userspace, depending on the size of the access.

An obvious fix for this one is to only perform the copy if
this is an actual write.

<title>kvm: rename pfn_t to kvm_pfn_t</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ba049e93aef7e8c571567088b1b73f4f5b99272a</id>
<content type='text'>
To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory,
PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into
userspace).  This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings
to be the target of direct-i/o.  It allows userspace to coordinate
DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory.

The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into
4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned
and dynamically mapped by a device driver.  The pmem driver, after
mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via
devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus
page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type.

The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the
resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new
_PAGE_DEVMAP flag.  Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys
off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active.
Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references
against the device driver established page mapping.

Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires
memory capacity to store the memmap array.  Given the memmap array for a
large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a
mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory.  The new
"struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables
arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page
allocator.

This patch (of 18):

The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1].  Move the existing
pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

<title>arm/arm64: KVM: Detect vGIC presence at runtime</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c7da6fa43cb1c5e649da0f478a491feb9208cae7</id>
<content type='text'>
Before commit 662d9715840aef44dcb573b0f9fab9e8319c868a
("arm/arm64: KVM: Kill CONFIG_KVM_ARM_{VGIC,TIMER}") is was possible to
compile the kernel without vGIC and vTimer support. Commit message says
about possibility to detect vGIC support in runtime, but this has never
been implemented.

This patch introduces runtime check, restoring the lost functionality.
It again allows to use KVM on hardware without vGIC. Interrupt
controller has to be emulated in userspace in this case.

-ENODEV return code from probe function means there's no GIC at all.
-ENXIO happens when, for example, there is GIC node in the device tree,
but it does not specify vGIC resources. Any other error code is still
treated as full stop because it might mean some really serious problems.

<content type='text'>
David Binderman reported that the exception injection code had a
couple of unused variables lingering around.

Upon examination, it looked like this code could do with an
anticipated spring cleaning, which amounts to deduplicating
the CPSR/SPSR update, and making it look a bit more like
the architecture spec.

The spurious variables are removed in the process.

It would add guest exit statistics to debugfs, this can be helpful
while measuring KVM performance.
