When we map a page that wasn't icache cleared before, do so when first

In handling the H_CEDE hypercall, if this vcpu has already been
prodded (with the H_PROD hypercall, which Linux guests don't in fact
use), we branch to a numeric label '1f'. Unfortunately there is
another '1:' label before the one that we want to jump to. This fixes
the problem by using a textual label, 'kvm_cede_prodded'. It also
changes the label for another longish branch from '2:' to
'kvm_cede_exit' to avoid a possible future problem if code modifications
add another numeric '2:' label in between.

"Notable highlights:
- iommu improvements from Anton removing the per-iommu global lock in
favor of dividing the DMA space into pools, each with its own lock,
and hashed on the CPU number. Along with making the locking more
fine grained, this gives significant improvements in multiqueue
networking scalability.
- Still from Anton, we know provide a vdso based variant of getcpu
which makes sched_getcpu with the appropriate glibc patch something
like 18 times faster.
- More anton goodness (he's been busy !) in other areas such as a
faster __clear_user and copy_page on P7, various perf fixes to
improve sampling quality, etc...
- One more step toward removing legacy i2c interfaces by using new
device-tree based probing of platform devices for the AOA audio

- A nice series of patches from Michael Neuling that helps avoiding

than plain numbers.
- A pile of FSL updates
- The usual bunch of small fixes, cleanups etc...
You may spot a change to drivers/char/mem. The patch got no comment
or ack from outside, it's a trivial patch to allow the architecture to
skip creating /dev/port, which we use to disable it on ppc64 that
don't have a legacy brige. On those, IO ports 0...64K are not mapped
in kernel space at all, so accesses to /dev/port cause oopses (and
yes, distros -still- ship userspace that bangs hard coded ports such
as kbdrate)."

At the moment we call kvmppc_pin_guest_page() in kvmppc_update_vpa()
with two spinlocks held: the vcore lock and the vcpu->vpa_update_lock.
This is not good, since kvmppc_pin_guest_page() calls down_read() and
get_user_pages_fast(), both of which can sleep. This bug was introduced
in 2e25aa5f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make virtual processor area
registration more robust").
This arranges to drop those spinlocks before calling
kvmppc_pin_guest_page() and re-take them afterwards. Dropping the
vcore lock in kvmppc_run_core() means we have to set the vcore_state
field to VCORE_RUNNING before we drop the lock, so that other vcpus
won't try to run this vcore.

This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest
hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest.
The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter
a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2
of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the
actual order of the HPT which was allocated.
There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce
this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in
kvm->arch.vcpus_running.
If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't
reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the
kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold
the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until
we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done
will re-establish the VRMA if necessary.
If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the
kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then
rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that
userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants.
When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page
allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for
a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate
using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the
preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing
sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed
(256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to
1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to
16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

The H_REGISTER_VPA hcall implementation in HV Power KVM needs to pin some
guest memory pages into host memory so that they can be safely accessed
from usermode. It does this used get_user_pages_fast(). When the VPA is
unregistered, or the VCPUs are cleaned up, these pages are released using
put_page().
However, the get_user_pages() is invoked on the specific memory are of the
VPA which could lie within hugepages. In case the pinned page is huge,
we explicitly find the head page of the compound page before calling
put_page() on it.
At least with the latest kernel, this is not correct. put_page() already
handles finding the correct head page of a compound, and also deals with
various counts on the individual tail page which are important for
transparent huge pages. We don't support transparent hugepages on Power,
but even so, bypassing this count maintenance can lead (when the VM ends)
to a hugepage being released back to the pool with a non-zero mapcount on
one of the tail pages. This can then lead to a bad_page() when the page
is released from the hugepage pool.
This removes the explicit compound_head() call to correct this bug.

When reading and writing SPRs, every SPR emulation piece had to read
or write the respective GPR the value was read from or stored in itself.
This approach is pretty prone to failure. What if we accidentally
implement mfspr emulation where we just do "break" and nothing else?
Suddenly we would get a random value in the return register - which is
always a bad idea.
So let's consolidate the generic code paths and only give the core
specific SPR handling code readily made variables to read/write from/to.
Functionally, this patch doesn't change anything, but it increases the
readability of the code and makes is less prone to bugs.

Instructions on PPC are pretty similarly encoded. So instead of
every instruction emulation code decoding the instruction fields
itself, we can move that code to more generic places and rely on
the compiler to optimize the unused bits away.
This has 2 advantages. It makes the code smaller and it makes the
code less error prone, as the instruction fields are always
available, so accidental misusage is reduced.

In our setup it adds 2% jitter.
With this patch clockevent multiplier and shifter mechanism are used when
starting hrtimer for decrementer emulation. Now the jitter is < 0.5%.

Keep track of minimum and maximum address mapped by tlb1.
This helps in TLBMISS handling in KVM to quick check whether the address lies in mapped range.
If address does not lies in this range then no need to look in each tlb1 entry of tlb1 array.
