commit fa89c77e891917b5913f9be080f9131a9457bb3e upstream.

When saving the state of the list registers, it is critical to
reset them zero, as we could otherwise leave unexpected EOI
interrupts pending for virtual level interrupts.

commit e4fe9e7dc3828bf6a5714eb3c55aef6260d823a2 upstream.

The EC field of the constructed ESR is conditionally modified by ORing in
ESR_ELx_EC_DABT_LOW for a data abort.  However, ESR_ELx_EC_SHIFT is missing
from this condition.

<title>arm64: KVM: Warn when PARange is less than 40 bits</title>

<content type='text'>
We always thought that 40bits of PA range would be the minimum people
would actually build. Anything less is terrifyingly small.

Turns out that we were both right and wrong. Nobody has ever built
such a system, but the ARM Foundation Model has a PARange set to 36bits.
Just because we can. Oh well. Now, the KVM API explicitely says that
we offer a 40bit PA space to the VM, so we shouldn't run KVM on
the Foundation Model at all.

That being said, this patch offers a less agressive alternative, and
loudly warns about the configuration being unsupported. You'll still
be able to run VMs (at your own risks, though).

This is just a workaround until we have a proper userspace API where
we report the PARange to userspace.

<content type='text'>
When we detect support for 16bit VMID in ID_AA64MMFR1, we set the
VTCR_EL2_VS field to 1 to make use of 16bit vmids. But, with
commit 3a3604bc5eb4 ("arm64: KVM: Switch to C-based stage2 init")
this is broken and we corrupt VTCR_EL2:T0SZ instead of updating the VS
field. VTCR_EL2_VS was actually defined to the field shift (19) and
not the real value for VS. This patch fixes the issue.

<content type='text'>
With the recent rewrite of the arm64 KVM hypervisor code in C, enabling
certain options like KASAN would allow the compiler to generate memory
accesses or function calls to addresses not mapped at EL2. This patch
disables the compiler instrumentation on the arm64 hypervisor code for
gcov-based profiling (GCOV_KERNEL), undefined behaviour sanity checker
(UBSAN) and kernel address sanitizer (KASAN).

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6.  There are some relatively
  intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
  virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.

  Summary:

   - Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
     mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones.  The ARM architecture
     requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
     that's not always possible on live page tables

   - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
     to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
     of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
     anywhere in physical RAM

   - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
     randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
     provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
     arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)

   - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
     (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
     but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
     dependencies)

   - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
     allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
     LDTR/STTR instructions.  Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
     perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
     The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
     privileged accesses via the UAO bit

   - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)

   - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
     run-time code patching)

   - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time

   - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
     incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g.  weird
     big.LITTLE configurations)

   - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
     sigcontext information (restored pstate information)

   - ACPI parking protocol implementation

   - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default

   - VDSO code marked as read-only

   - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support

   - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

   - Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC

   - set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings

   - Code clean-ups"

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "One of the largest releases for KVM...  Hardly any generic
  changes, but lots of architecture-specific updates.

  ARM:
   - VHE support so that we can run the kernel at EL2 on ARMv8.1 systems
   - PMU support for guests
   - 32bit world switch rewritten in C
   - various optimizations to the vgic save/restore code.

  PPC:
   - enabled KVM-VFIO integration ("VFIO device")
   - optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus
   - in-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls
   - support for dynamic DMA windows (DDW).

  s390:
   - provide the floating point registers via sync regs;
   - separated instruction vs.  data accesses
   - dirty log improvements for huge guests
   - bugfixes and documentation improvements.

  x86:
   - Hyper-V VMBus hypercall userspace exit
   - alternative implementation of lowest-priority interrupts using
     vector hashing (for better VT-d posted interrupt support)
   - fixed guest debugging with nested virtualizations
   - improved interrupt tracking in the in-kernel IOAPIC
   - generic infrastructure for tracking writes to guest
     memory - currently its only use is to speedup the legacy shadow
     paging (pre-EPT) case, but in the future it will be used for
     virtual GPUs as well
   - much cleanup (LAPIC, kvmclock, MMU, PIT), including ubsan fixes"

<content type='text'>
So far, we're always writing all possible LRs, setting the empty
ones with a zero value. This is obvious doing a low of work for
nothing, and we're better off clearing those we've actually
dirtied on the exit path (it is very rare to inject more than one
interrupt at a time anyway).

<content type='text'>
In order to let the GICv3 code be more lazy in the way it
accesses the LRs, it is necessary to start with a clean slate.

Let's reset the LRs on each CPU when the vgic is probed (which
includes a round trip to EL2...).

On exit, any empty LR will be signaled in ICH_ELRSR_EL2. Which
means that we do not have to save it, and we can just clear
its state in the in-memory copy.
