Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - Fix an existing bug in our user access handling, exposed by one of
   the bug fixes we merged this cycle.

 - A fix for a boot hang on 32-bit with CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS and the
   recently added CONFIG_VMAP_STACK.

Thanks to: Christophe Leroy, Guenter Roeck.

<content type='text'>
The early versions of our kernel user access prevention (KUAP) were
written by Russell and Christophe, and didn't have separate
read/write access.

At some point I picked up the series and added the read/write access,
but I failed to update the usages in futex.h to correctly allow read
and write.

However we didn't notice because of another bug which was causing the
low-level code to always enable read and write. That bug was fixed
recently in commit 1d8f739b07bd ("powerpc/kuap: Fix set direction in
allow/prevent_user_access()").

futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is passed the user address as %3 and
does:

  1:     lwarx   %1,  0, %3
         cmpw    0,  %1, %4
         bne-    3f
  2:     stwcx.  %5,  0, %3

Which clearly loads and stores from/to %3. The logic in
arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() is similar, so fix both of them to use
allow_read_write_user().

Without this fix, and with PPC_KUAP_DEBUG=y, we see eg:

  Bug: Read fault blocked by AMR!

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "A pretty small batch for us, and apologies for it being a bit late, I
  wanted to sneak Christophe's user_access_begin() series in.

  Summary:

   - Implement user_access_begin() and friends for our platforms that
     support controlling kernel access to userspace.

   - Enable CONFIG_VMAP_STACK on 32-bit Book3S and 8xx.

   - Some tweaks to our pseries IOMMU code to allow SVMs ("secure"
     virtual machines) to use the IOMMU.

   - Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 32-bit
     VDSO, and some other improvements.

   - A series to use the PCI hotplug framework to control opencapi
     card's so that they can be reset and re-read after flashing a new
     FPGA image.

  As well as other minor fixes and improvements as usual.

<title>mm/mmu_gather: invalidate TLB correctly on batch allocation failure and flush</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0ed1325967ab5f7a4549a2641c6ebe115f76e228</id>
<content type='text'>
Architectures for which we have hardware walkers of Linux page table
should flush TLB on mmu gather batch allocation failures and batch flush.
Some architectures like POWER supports multiple translation modes (hash
and radix) and in the case of POWER only radix translation mode needs the
above TLBI.  This is because for hash translation mode kernel wants to
avoid this extra flush since there are no hardware walkers of linux page
table.  With radix translation, the hardware also walks linux page table
and with that, kernel needs to make sure to TLB invalidate page walk cache
before page table pages are freed.

More details in commit d86564a2f085 ("mm/tlb, x86/mm: Support invalidating
TLB caches for RCU_TABLE_FREE")

The changes to sparc are to make sure we keep the old behavior since we
are now removing HAVE_RCU_TABLE_NO_INVALIDATE.  The default value for
tlb_needs_table_invalidate is to always force an invalidate and sparc can
avoid the table invalidate.  Hence we define tlb_needs_table_invalidate to
false for sparc architecture.

<title>powerpc/mmu_gather: enable RCU_TABLE_FREE even for !SMP case</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "Fixup page directory freeing", v4.

This is a repost of patch series from Peter with the arch specific changes
except ppc64 dropped.  ppc64 changes are added here because we are redoing
the patch series on top of ppc64 changes.  This makes it easy to backport
these changes.  Only the first 2 patches need to be backported to stable.

The thing is, on anything SMP, freeing page directories should observe the
exact same order as normal page freeing:

 1) unhook page/directory
 2) TLB invalidate
 3) free page/directory

Without this, any concurrent page-table walk could end up with a
Use-after-Free.  This is esp.  trivial for anything that has software
page-table walkers (HAVE_FAST_GUP / software TLB fill) or the hardware
caches partial page-walks (ie.  caches page directories).

Even on UP this might give issues since mmu_gather is preemptible these
days.  An interrupt or preempted task accessing user pages might stumble
into the free page if the hardware caches page directories.

This patch series fixes ppc64 and add generic MMU_GATHER changes to
support the conversion of other architectures.  I haven't added patches
w.r.t other architecture because they are yet to be acked.

This patch (of 9):

A followup patch is going to make sure we correctly invalidate page walk
cache before we free page table pages.  In order to keep things simple
enable RCU_TABLE_FREE even for !SMP so that we don't have to fixup the
!SMP case differently in the followup patch

!SMP case is right now broken for radix translation w.r.t page walk
cache flush.  We can get interrupted in between page table free and
that would imply we have page walk cache entries pointing to tables
which got freed already.  Michael said "both our platforms that run on
Power9 force SMP on in Kconfig, so the !SMP case is unlikely to be a
problem for anyone in practice, unless they've hacked their kernel to
build it !SMP."

walk_page_range() is going to be allowed to walk page tables other than
those of user space.  For this it needs to know when it has reached a
'leaf' entry in the page tables.  This information is provided by the
p?d_leaf() functions/macros.

For powerpc p?d_is_leaf() functions already exist.  Export them using the
new p?d_leaf() name.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "This is the first batch of KVM changes.

  ARM:
   - cleanups and corner case fixes.

  PPC:
   - Bugfixes

  x86:
   - Support for mapping DAX areas with large nested page table entries.

   - Cleanups and bugfixes here too. A particularly important one is a
     fix for FPU load when the thread has TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD. There is
     also a race condition which could be used in guest userspace to
     exploit the guest kernel, for which the embargo expired today.

   - Fast path for IPI delivery vmexits, shaving about 200 clock cycles
     from IPI latency.

   - Protect against "Spectre-v1/L1TF" (bring data in the cache via
     speculative out of bound accesses, use L1TF on the sibling
     hyperthread to read it), which unfortunately is an even bigger
     whack-a-mole game than SpectreV1.

  Sean continues his mission to rewrite KVM. In addition to a sizable
  number of x86 patches, this time he contributed a pretty large
  refactoring of vCPU creation that affects all architectures but should
  not have any visible effect.

  s390 will come next week together with some more x86 patches"
