Timers that fire between guest hlt and vcpu_block's add_wait_queue() are
ignored, possibly resulting in hangs.
Also make sure that atomic_inc and waitqueue_active tests happen in the
specified order, otherwise the following race is open:
CPU0 CPU1
if (waitqueue_active(wq))
add_wait_queue()
if (!atomic_read(pit_timer->pending))
schedule()

This patch adds functionality to detect if the kernel runs under the KVM
hypervisor. A macro MACHINE_IS_KVM is exported for device drivers. This
allows drivers to skip device detection if the systems runs non-virtualized.
We also define a preferred console to avoid having the ttyS0, which is a line
mode only console.

This patch introduces interpretation of some diagnose instruction intercepts.
Diagnose is our classic architected way of doing a hypercall. This patch
features the following diagnose codes:
- vm storage size, that tells the guest about its memory layout
- time slice end, which is used by the guest to indicate that it waits
for a lock and thus cannot use up its time slice in a useful way
- ipl functions, which a guest can use to reset and reboot itself
In order to implement ipl functions, we also introduce an exit reason that
causes userspace to perform various resets on the virtual machine. All resets
are described in the principles of operation book, except KVM_S390_RESET_IPL
which causes a reboot of the machine.

This patch introduces in-kernel handling of _some_ sigp interprocessor
signals (similar to ipi).
kvm_s390_handle_sigp() decodes the sigp instruction and calls individual
handlers depending on the operation requested:
- sigp sense tries to retrieve information such as existence or running state
of the remote cpu
- sigp emergency sends an external interrupt to the remove cpu
- sigp stop stops a remove cpu
- sigp stop store status stops a remote cpu, and stores its entire internal
state to the cpus lowcore
- sigp set arch sets the architecture mode of the remote cpu. setting to
ESAME (s390x 64bit) is accepted, setting to ESA/S390 (s390, 31 or 24 bit) is
denied, all others are passed to userland
- sigp set prefix sets the prefix register of a remote cpu
For implementation of this, the stop intercept indication starts to get reused
on purpose: a set of action bits defines what to do once a cpu gets stopped:
ACTION_STOP_ON_STOP really stops the cpu when a stop intercept is recognized
ACTION_STORE_ON_STOP stores the cpu status to lowcore when a stop intercept is
recognized

This patch introduces in-kernel handling of some intercepts for privileged
instructions:
handle_set_prefix() sets the prefix register of the local cpu
handle_store_prefix() stores the content of the prefix register to memory
handle_store_cpu_address() stores the cpu number of the current cpu to memory
handle_skey() just decrements the instruction address and retries
handle_stsch() delivers condition code 3 "operation not supported"
handle_chsc() same here
handle_stfl() stores the facility list which contains the
capabilities of the cpu
handle_stidp() stores cpu type/model/revision and such
handle_stsi() stores information about the system topology

This patch contains the s390 interrupt subsystem (similar to in kernel apic)
including timer interrupts (similar to in-kernel-pit) and enabled wait
(similar to in kernel hlt).
In order to achieve that, this patch also introduces intercept handling
for instruction intercepts, and it implements load control instructions.
This patch introduces an ioctl KVM_S390_INTERRUPT which is valid for both
the vm file descriptors and the vcpu file descriptors. In case this ioctl is
issued against a vm file descriptor, the interrupt is considered floating.
Floating interrupts may be delivered to any virtual cpu in the configuration.
The following interrupts are supported:
SIGP STOP - interprocessor signal that stops a remote cpu
SIGP SET PREFIX - interprocessor signal that sets the prefix register of a
(stopped) remote cpu
INT EMERGENCY - interprocessor interrupt, usually used to signal need_reshed
and for smp_call_function() in the guest.
PROGRAM INT - exception during program execution such as page fault, illegal
instruction and friends
RESTART - interprocessor signal that starts a stopped cpu
INT VIRTIO - floating interrupt for virtio signalisation
INT SERVICE - floating interrupt for signalisations from the system
service processor
struct kvm_s390_interrupt, which is submitted as ioctl parameter when injecting
an interrupt, also carrys parameter data for interrupts along with the interrupt
type. Interrupts on s390 usually have a state that represents the current
operation, or identifies which device has caused the interruption on s390.
kvm_s390_handle_wait() does handle waitpsw in two flavors: in case of a
disabled wait (that is, disabled for interrupts), we exit to userspace. In case
of an enabled wait we set up a timer that equals the cpu clock comparator value
and sleep on a wait queue.

This path introduces handling of sie intercepts in three flavors: Intercepts
are either handled completely in-kernel by kvm_handle_sie_intercept(),
or passed to userspace with corresponding data in struct kvm_run in case
kvm_handle_sie_intercept() returns -ENOTSUPP.
In case of partial execution in kernel with the need of userspace support,
kvm_handle_sie_intercept() may choose to set up struct kvm_run and return
-EREMOTE.
The trivial intercept reasons are handled in this patch:
handle_noop() just does nothing for intercepts that don't require our support
at all
handle_stop() is called when a cpu enters stopped state, and it drops out to
userland after updating our vcpu state
handle_validity() faults in the cpu lowcore if needed, or passes the request
to userland

This patch contains the port of Qumranet's kvm kernel module to IBM zSeries
(aka s390x, mainframe) architecture. It uses the mainframe's virtualization
instruction SIE to run virtual machines with up to 64 virtual CPUs each.
This port is only usable on 64bit host kernels, and can only run 64bit guest
kernels. However, running 31bit applications in guest userspace is possible.
The following source files are introduced by this patch
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c similar to arch/x86/kvm/x86.c, this implements all
arch callbacks for kvm. __vcpu_run calls back into
sie64a to enter the guest machine context
arch/s390/kvm/sie64a.S assembler function sie64a, which enters guest
context via SIE, and switches world before and after that
include/asm-s390/kvm_host.h contains all vital data structures needed to run
virtual machines on the mainframe
include/asm-s390/kvm.h defines kvm_regs and friends for user access to
guest register content
arch/s390/kvm/gaccess.h functions similar to uaccess to access guest memory
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.h header file for kvm-s390 internals, extended by
later patches

The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to
virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie
function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to
reserve space in the page table:
s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed
and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table.
Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE.
This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static.
Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's
review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in
include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now
call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

Newer s390 models have a breaking-event-address-recording register.
Each time an instruction causes a break in the sequential instruction
execution, the address is saved in that hardware register. On a program
interrupt the address is copied to the lowcore address 272-279, which
makes it software accessible.
This patch changes the program check handler and the stack overflow
checker to copy the value into the pt_regs argument.
The oops output is enhanced to show the last known breaking address.
It might give additional information if the stack trace is corrupted.
The feature is only available on 64 bit.
The new oops output looks like:

If vertical cpu polarization is active then the hypervisor will
dispatch certain cpus for a longer time than other cpus for maximum
performance. For example if a guest would have three virtual cpus,
each of them with a share of 33 percent, then in case of vertical
cpu polarization all of the processing time would be combined to a
single cpu which would run all the time, while the other two cpus
would get nearly no cpu time.
There are three different types of vertical cpus: high, medium and
low. Low cpus hardly get any real cpu time, while high cpus get a
full real cpu. Medium cpus get something in between.
In order to switch between the two possible modes (default is
horizontal) a 0 for horizontal polarization or a 1 for vertical
polarization must be written to the dispatching sysfs attribute:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/dispatching
The polarization of each single cpu can be figured out by the
polarization sysfs attribute of each cpu:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/polarization
horizontal, vertical:high, vertical:medium, vertical:low or unknown.
When switching polarization the polarization attribute may contain
the value unknown until the configuration change is done and the
kernel has figured out the new polarization of each cpu.
Note that running a system with different types of vertical cpus may
result in significant performance regressions. If possible only one
type of vertical cpus should be used. All other cpus should be
offlined.

done by hand and therefore the code tries to access current->mm which
is NULL.
Therefore add an extra check, so we survive the early test.

/sys/firmware/reipl/nss/name contains the nss name when defsys or
savesys command has been executed. If the defsys or savesys command
fails the kernel_nss_name has to be cleared since a reipl on that
nss name won't be possible.

IPL from NSS didn't work because the memory detection routine omits any
memory sections with a size lower than what MAX_ORDER defines.
This causes the detection routine to skip the first memory segment which
has a size of 1MB. Which later on will let the kernel think that there
is no memory available at all.
Since in addition the z/VM memory increment size is 1MB force MAX_ORDER
to be 9, so we can support 1MB segments.

Compile smp.o with -Wno-nonnull so gcc stops warning about memcpy
being used with a null parameter. Also remove the workaround code
and use a char * cast instead of a void * cast to do computations.

If a machine check handling is pending when the idle loop is entered
default_idle will be left with timer ticks and virtual timer disabled.
Fix this by "calling" the idle_chain. Also a BUG_ON(!in_interrupt) in
start_hz_timer must be removed since the function now gets called from
non interrupt context as well.

Add CONFIG_HAVE_KRETPROBES to the arch/<arch>/Kconfig file for relevant
architectures with kprobes support. This facilitates easy handling of
in-kernel modules (like samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c) that depend on
kretprobes being present in the kernel.
Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for helping make the patch more lean.
Per Mathieu's suggestion, added CONFIG_KRETPROBES and fixed up dependencies.

Add missing exception table entry so that the kernel can handle
proctection exceptions as well on the cs instruction. Currently only
specification exceptions are handled correctly.
The missing entry allows user space to crash the kernel.
