This has not been the case with the QorIQ clockgen nodes. The knowledge of what each bit setting of CLKCnCSR means is encoded in three places (binding, pll node, and mux node), and the last also needs to know which options are valid on a particular chip. All three of these locations are considered stable ABI, making it difficult to fix mistakes (of which I have found several), much less refactor the abstraction to be able to address problems, limitations, or new chips. Under the current binding, a pll clock specifier of 2 means that the PLL is divided by 4 -- and the driver implements this, unless there happen to be four clock-output-names rather than 3, in which case it interprets it as PLL divided by 3. This does not appear in the binding documentation at all. That hack is now considered stable ABI. The current device tree nodes contain errors, such as saying that T1040 can set a core clock to PLL/4 when only PLL and PLL/2 are options. The current binding also ignores some restrictions on clock selection, such as p5020's requirement that if a core uses the "wrong" PLL, that PLL must be clocked lower than the "correct" PLL and be at most 80% of the rated CPU frequency. Possibly because of the lack of the ability to express such nuance in the binding, some valid options are omitted from the device trees, such as the ability on p4080 to run cores 0-3 from PLL3 and cores 4-7 from PLL1 (again, only if they are at most 80% of rated CPU frequency). This omission, combined with excessive caution in the cpufreq driver (addressed in a subsequent patch), means that currently on a 1500 MHz p4080 with typical PLL configuration, cpufreq can lower the frequency to 1200 MHz on half the CPUs and do nothing on the others. With this patchset, all CPUs can be lowered to 1200 MHz on a rev2 p4080, and on a rev3 p4080 half can be lowered to 750 MHz and the other half to 600 MHz. The current binding only deals with CPU clocks. To describe FMan in the device tree, we need to describe its clock. Some chips have additional muxes that work like the CPU muxes, but are not described in the device tree. Others require inspecting the Reset Control Word to determine which PLL is used. Rather than continue to extend this mess, replace it. Have the driver bind to the chip-specific clockgen compatible, and keep the detailed description of quirky chip variations in the driver, where it can be easily fixed, refactored, and extended. Older device trees will continue to work (including a workaround for old ls1021a device trees that are missing compatible and reg in the clockgen node, which even the old binding required). The pll/mux details in old device trees will be ignored, but "clocks" properties pointing at the old nodes will still work, and be directed at the corresponding new clock.

In theory we could simulate the normal spin table mechanism, but not at the addresses U-Boot put in the device tree -- so there'd need to be even more communication between the kernel and kexec to set that up. Instead, kexec-tools will set a boolean property linux,booted-from-kexec in the /chosen node. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Cc: devicetree@vger.kernel.org

This information helps to understand bugs. Currently it is not enabled by default. Besides recompiling the kernel with KASAN and reinstalling it, user also have to change the boot cmdline, which is not very handy. Enable slub user tracking by default with KASAN=y, since there is no good reason to not do this.

Move "Swap" and "SwapPss" descriptions down above it, to match the order in the file (though "PageSize"s still undescribed). The example of "Locked: 374 kB" (the same as Pss, neither Rss nor Size) is so unlikely as to be misleading: just make it 0, this is /bin/bash text; which would be "dw" (disabled write) not "de" (do not expand).

We have no actual problem now, but I think the procedure would be clearer (and alternative get_new_page pools safer to implement) if we assert that newpage is not touched until we are sure that it's going to be used - except for taking the trylock on it in __unmap_and_move(). So shift the early initializations from move_to_new_page() into migrate_page_move_mapping(), mapping and NULL-mapping paths. Similarly migrate_huge_page_move_mapping(), but its NULL-mapping path can just be deleted: you cannot reach hugetlbfs_migrate_page() with a NULL mapping. Adjust stages 3 to 8 in the Documentation file accordingly. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

But that's okay, those races are benign; and although we've believed for years in that ugly down_read_trylock(), it's unsuitable for the job, and frustrates the good intention of setting PageMlocked when it fails. It just doesn't matter if here we read vm_flags an instant before or after a racing mlock() or munlock() or exit_mmap() sets or clears VM_LOCKED: the syscalls (or exit) work their way up the address space (taking pt locks after updating vm_flags) to establish the final state. We do still need to be careful never to mark a page Mlocked (hence unevictable) by any race that will not be corrected shortly after. The page lock protects from many of the races, but not all (a page is not necessarily locked when it's unmapped). But the pte lock we just dropped is good to cover the rest (and serializes even with munlock_vma_pages_all(), so no special barriers required): now hold on to the pte lock while calling mlock_vma_page(). Is that lock ordering safe? Yes, that's how follow_page_pte() calls it, and how page_remove_rmap() calls the complementary clear_page_mlock(). This fixes the following case (though not a case which anyone has complained of), which mmap_sem did not: truncation's preliminary unmap_mapping_range() is supposed to remove even the anonymous COWs of filecache pages, and that might race with try_to_unmap_one() on a VM_LOCKED vma, so that mlock_vma_page() sets PageMlocked just after zap_pte_range() unmaps the page, causing "Bad page state (mlocked)" when freed. The pte lock protects against this. You could say that it also protects against the more ordinary case, racing with the preliminary unmapping of a filecache page itself: but in our current tree, that's independently protected by i_mmap_rwsem; and that race would be why "Bad page state (mlocked)" was seen before commit 48ec833b7851 ("Revert mm/memory.c: share the i_mmap_rwsem"). Vlastimil Babka points out another race which this patch protects against. try_to_unmap_one() might reach its mlock_vma_page() TestSetPageMlocked a moment after munlock_vma_pages_all() did its Phase 1 TestClearPageMlocked: leaving PageMlocked and unevictable when it should be evictable. mmap_sem is ineffective because exit_mmap() does not hold it; page lock ineffective because __munlock_pagevec() only takes it afterwards, in Phase 2; pte lock is effective because __munlock_pagevec_fill() takes it to get the page, after VM_LOCKED was cleared from vm_flags, so visible to try_to_unmap_one. Kirill Shutemov points out that if the compiler chooses to implement a "vma->vm_flags &= VM_WHATEVER" or "vma->vm_flags |= VM_WHATEVER" operation with an intermediate store of unrelated bits set, since I'm here foregoing its usual protection by mmap_sem, try_to_unmap_one() might catch sight of a spurious VM_LOCKED in vm_flags, and make the wrong decision. This does not appear to be an immediate problem, but we may want to define vm_flags accessors in future, to guard against such a possibility. While we're here, make a related optimization in try_to_munmap_one(): if it's doing TTU_MUNLOCK, then there's no point at all in descending the page tables and getting the pt lock, unless the vma is VM_LOCKED. Yes, that can change racily, but it can change racily even without the optimization: it's not critical. Far better not to waste time here. Stopped short of separating try_to_munlock_one() from try_to_munmap_one() on this occasion, but that's probably the sensible next step - with a rename, given that try_to_munlock()'s business is to try to set Mlocked. Updated the unevictable-lru Documentation, to remove its reference to mmap semaphore, but found a few more updates needed in just that area.

This introduces a new component (in virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together. The same infrastructure will be used for ARM interrupt forwarding as well. - more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controller will have to wait for 4.5. These will let KVM expose Hyper-V devices. - nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for vCPUs) which makes it quite a bit faster - for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for clflushopt, clwb, pcommit - support for "split irqchip", i.e. LAPIC in kernel + IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in userspace, which reduces the attack surface of the hypervisor - obligatory smattering of SMM fixes - on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten to not require help from the hypervisor" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (123 commits) KVM: VMX: Fix commit which broke PML KVM: x86: obey KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED in kvm_set_cr0() KVM: x86: allow RSM from 64-bit mode KVM: VMX: fix SMEP and SMAP without EPT KVM: x86: move kvm_set_irq_inatomic to legacy device assignment KVM: device assignment: remove pointless #ifdefs KVM: x86: merge kvm_arch_set_irq with kvm_set_msi_inatomic KVM: x86: zero apic_arb_prio on reset drivers/hv: share Hyper-V SynIC constants with userspace KVM: x86: handle SMBASE as physical address in RSM KVM: x86: add read_phys to x86_emulate_ops KVM: x86: removing unused variable KVM: don't pointlessly leave KVM_COMPAT=y in non-KVM configs KVM: arm/arm64: Merge vgic_set_lr() and vgic_sync_lr_elrsr() KVM: arm/arm64: Clean up vgic_retire_lr() and surroundings KVM: arm/arm64: Optimize away redundant LR tracking KVM: s390: use simple switch statement as multiplexer KVM: s390: drop useless newline in debugging data KVM: s390: SCA must not cross page boundaries KVM: arm: Do not indent the arguments of DECLARE_BITMAP ...

KVM_INTERRUPT now supports sending local interrupts to an APIC when APICs are in the kernel. The ready_for_interrupt_request flag is now only set when the CPU/APIC will immediately accept and inject an interrupt (i.e. APIC has not masked the PIC). When the PIC wishes to initiate an INTA cycle with, say, CPU0, it kicks CPU0 out of the guest, and renedezvous with CPU0 once it arrives in userspace. When the CPU/APIC unmasks the PIC, a KVM_EXIT_IRQ_WINDOW_OPEN is triggered, so that userspace has a chance to inject a PIC interrupt if it had been pending. Overall, this design can lead to a small number of spurious userspace renedezvous. In particular, whenever the PIC transistions from low to high while it is masked and whenever the PIC becomes unmasked while it is low. Note: this does not buffer more than one local interrupt in the kernel, so the VMM needs to enter the guest in order to complete interrupt injection before injecting an additional interrupt. Compiles for x86. Can pass the KVM Unit Tests. Signed-off-by: Steve Rutherford <srutherford@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

If the IOAPIC is in userspace (i.e. the irqchip has been split), the EOI exit bitmaps will be set whenever the GSI Routes are configured. In particular, for the low MSI routes are reservable for userspace IOAPICs. For these MSI routes, the EOI Exit bit corresponding to the destination vector of the route will be set for the destination VCPU. The intention is for the userspace IOAPICs to use the reservable MSI routes to inject interrupts into the guest. This is a slight abuse of the notion of an MSI Route, given that MSIs classically bypass the IOAPIC. It might be worthwhile to add an additional route type to improve clarity.

[Note: A prototype using ResampleFDs found that decoupling the EOI from the VCPU's thread made it possible for the VCPU to not see a recent EOI after reentering the guest.

These MMUs need an additional shared register to be programmed in the DSP_SYSTEM sub-module to be enabled properly. The OMAP IOMMU bindings is updated to account for this additional syscon property required for these DSP IOMMU instances on DRA7xx SoCs. A new compatible "ti,dra7-dsp-iommu" is also defined to distinguish these devices specifically from other DRA7 IOMMU devices. An example of the DRA7 DSP IOMMU nodes is also added to the document for clarity. Signed-off-by: Suman Anna <s-anna@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>
