Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini: "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features. Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures). This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests). This also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future. ARM/ARM64: The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page tracking s390: Several optimizations and bugfixes. Also a first: a feature exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :) MIPS: Bugfixes. x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation fixes. There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually. Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you have already included his tree. Powerpc: Nothing yet. The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers, because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being offline for some part of next week" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (130 commits) KVM: ia64: drop kvm.h from installed user headers KVM: x86: fix build with !CONFIG_SMP KVM: x86: emulate: correct page fault error code for NoWrite instructions KVM: Disable compat ioctl for s390 KVM: s390: add cpu model support KVM: s390: use facilities and cpu_id per KVM KVM: s390/CPACF: Choose crypto control block format s390/kernel: Update /proc/sysinfo file with Extended Name and UUID KVM: s390: reenable LPP facility KVM: s390: floating irqs: fix user triggerable endless loop kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter kvm: remove KVM_MMIO_SIZE KVM: MIPS: Don't leak FPU/DSP to guest KVM: MIPS: Disable HTW while in guest KVM: nVMX: Enable nested posted interrupt processing KVM: nVMX: Enable nested virtual interrupt delivery KVM: nVMX: Enable nested apic register virtualization KVM: nVMX: Make nested control MSRs per-cpu KVM: nVMX: Enable nested virtualize x2apic mode KVM: nVMX: Prepare for using hardware MSR bitmap ...

s390: add SMT support The multi-threading facility is introduced with the z13 processor family. This patch adds code to detect the multi-threading facility. With the facility enabled each core will surface multiple hardware threads to the system. Each hardware threads looks like a normal CPU to the operating system with all its registers and properties. The SCLP interface reports the SMT topology indirectly via the maximum thread id. Each reported CPU in the result of a read-scp-information is a core representing a number of hardware threads. To reflect the reduced CPU capacity if two hardware threads run on a single core the MT utilization counter set is used to normalize the raw cputime obtained by the CPU timer deltas. This scaled cputime is reported via the taskstats interface. The normal /proc/stat numbers are based on the raw cputime and are not affected by the normalization.

s390: delete __cpuinit usage from all s390 files The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/s390 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. Currently s390 does not have any __CPUINIT used in assembly files.

s390/sysinfo,stsi: change return code handling Change return code handling of the stsi() function: In case function code 0 was specified the return value is the current configuration level (already shifted). That way all the code that actually copied the stsi_0() function can go away. Otherwise the return value is 0 (success) or negative to indicate an error (currently only -EOPNOTSUPP). Also stsi() is no longer an inline function. The function is not performance critical, but every caller would generate an exception table entry for this function.

s390/sysinfo,topology: fix cpu topology maximum nesting detection The maximum nesting of the cpu topology is evaluated when /proc/sysinfo is the first time read. This happens without a lock and a concurrent reader on a different cpu can see and use an invalid intermediate value. Besides the fact that this race is quite unlikely the worst thing that could happen is that /proc/sysinfo would contain bogus information about the machine's cpu topology. Nevertheless this should be fixed. So move the detection code to the early machine detection code and since now the value is early available use it in the topology code as well.

s390/sysinfo: convert /proc/sysinfo to seqfile The current proc implementation of the /proc/sysinfo file writes all informations contained in all system information blocks to a single page. This is done by calling sprintf all the time in the expectation that everything will fit into a single page. This however is not necessarily true if the configuration of a machine is very large. So convert /proc/sysinfo to avoid writing into random memory regions. For readability reasons a couple of lines are longer than 80 characters.

s390/cpu: remove cpu "capabilities" sysfs attribute It has been a big mistage to add the capabilities attribute to the cpus in sysfs: First the attribute only contains the cpu capability of primary cpus, which however is not necessarily (or better: unlikely) the type of cpu the kernel runs on, which is typically an IFL. In addition all information that is necessary is available in /proc/sysinfo already. So this attribute partially duplicated informations. So programs should look into the sysinfo file to retrieve all informations they are interested in. Since with this kernel release also the powersavings cpu attributes are removed this seems to be a good opportunity to remove another broken interface.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
