commit 1b17cb796f5d40ffa239c6926385abd83a77a49b upstream.

git commit 904818e2f229f3d94ec95f6932a6358c81e73d78
"s390/kernel: introduce fpu-internal.h with fpu helper functions"
introduced the fpregs_store / fp_regs_load helper. These function
fail to save and restore the floating pointer control registers.

The effect is that the FPC is not correctly handled on signal
delivery and signal return.

<id>urn:sha1:3824f7874a7521961642287b4b93f14afbc9565a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 9abc2a08a7d665b02bdde974fd6c44aae86e923e upstream.

The kernel now always uses vector registers when available, however KVM
has special logic if support is really enabled for a guest. If support
is disabled, guest_fpregs.fregs will only contain memory for the fpu.
The kernel, however, will store vector registers into that area,
resulting in crazy memory overwrites.

Simply extending that area is not enough, because the format of the
registers also changes. We would have to do additional conversions, making
the code even more complex. Therefore let's directly use one place for
the vector/fpu registers + fpc (in kvm_run). We just have to convert the
data properly when accessing it. This makes current code much easier.

Please note that vector/fpu registers are now always stored to
vcpu-&gt;run-&gt;s.regs.vrs. Although this data is visible to QEMU and
used for migration, we only guarantee valid values to user space  when
KVM_SYNC_VRS is set. As that is only the case when we have vector
register support, we are on the safe side.

<title>s390: avoid cache aliasing under z/VM and KVM</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 1f6b83e5e4d3 ("s390: avoid z13 cache aliasing") checks for the
machine type to optimize address space randomization and zero page
allocation to avoid cache aliases.

This check might fail under a hypervisor with migration support.
z/VMs "Single System Image and Live Guest Relocation" facility will
"fake" the machine type of the oldest system in the group. For example
in a group of zEC12 and Z13 the guest appears to run on a zEC12
(architecture fencing within the relocation domain)

Remove the machine type detection and always use cache aliasing
rules that are known to work for all machines. These are the z13
aliasing rules.

We use lazy allocation for translation table entries but don't handle
allocation (and other) failures during translation table updates.

Handle these failures and undo translation table updates when it's
meaningful.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "First batch of KVM changes for 4.4.

  s390:
     A bunch of fixes and optimizations for interrupt and time handling.

  PPC:
     Mostly bug fixes.

  ARM:
     No big features, but many small fixes and prerequisites including:

      - a number of fixes for the arch-timer

      - introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers

      - a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite
        for IRQ forwarding)

      - some tracepoint improvements

      - a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers

      - some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state

  x86:
     Quite a few changes:

      - support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject
        interrupts directly into vCPUs).  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"
