<title>arm/arm64: KVM: Complete WFI/WFE instructions</title>

The architecture specifies that when the processor wakes up from a WFE
or WFI instruction, the instruction is considered complete, however we
currrently return to EL1 (or EL0) at the WFI/WFE instruction itself.

While most guests may not be affected by this because their local
exception handler performs an exception returning setting the event bit
or with an interrupt pending, some guests like UEFI will get wedged due
this little mishap.

Simply skip the instruction when we have completed the emulation.

<title>ARM/ARM64: KVM: Nuke Hyp-mode tlbs before enabling MMU</title>

X-Gene u-boot runs in EL2 mode with MMU enabled hence we might
have stale EL2 tlb enteris when we enable EL2 MMU on each host CPU.

This can happen on any ARM/ARM64 board running bootloader in
Hyp-mode (or EL2-mode) with MMU enabled.

This patch ensures that we flush all Hyp-mode (or EL2-mode) TLBs
on each host CPU before enabling Hyp-mode (or EL2-mode) MMU.

Pull second round of KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Here are the PPC and ARM changes for KVM, which I separated because
  they had small conflicts (respectively within KVM documentation, and
  with 3.16-rc changes).  Since they were all within the subsystem, I
  took care of them.

  Stephen Rothwell reported some snags in PPC builds, but they are all
  fixed now; the latest linux-next report was clean.

  New features for ARM include:
   - KVM VGIC v2 emulation on GICv3 hardware
   - Big-Endian support for arm/arm64 (guest and host)
   - Debug Architecture support for arm64 (arm32 is on Christoffer's todo list)

  And for PPC:
   - Book3S: Good number of LE host fixes, enable HV on LE
   - Book3S HV: Add in-guest debug support

  This release drops support for KVM on the PPC440.  As a result, the
  PPC merge removes more lines than it adds.  :)

  I also included an x86 change, since Davidlohr tied it to an
  independent bug report and the reporter quickly provided a Tested-by;
  there was no reason to wait for -rc2"

In preparation to make the check_extension function available to VM scope
we add a struct kvm * argument to the function header and rename the function
accordingly. It will still be called from the /dev/kvm fd, but with a NULL

<title>ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+</title>
<updated>2014-07-18T11:29:04+00:00</updated>

<name>Russell King</name>
<email>rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk</email>

<published>2014-06-30T15:29:12+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=6ebbf2ce437b33022d30badd49dc94d33ecfa498'/>
<id>6ebbf2ce437b33022d30badd49dc94d33ecfa498</id>
<content type='text'>
ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls.  Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).

We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.

Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code.  This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls.  Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).

We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.

Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code.  This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

<title>ARM: make it easier to check the CPU part number correctly</title>

Ensure that platform maintainers check the CPU part number in the right
manner: the CPU part number is meaningless without also checking the
CPU implement(e|o)r (choose your preferred spelling!)  Provide an
interface which returns both the implementer and part number together,
and update the definitions to include the implementer.

Mark the old function as being deprecated... indeed, using the old
function with the definitions will now always evaluate as false, so
people must update their un-merged code to the new function.  While
this could be avoided by adding new definitions, we'd also have to
create new names for them which would be awkward.

now.

Fix code that handles KVM_SET_ONE_REG, KVM_GET_ONE_REG ioctls to work in BE
image. Before this fix get/set_one_reg functions worked correctly only in
LE case - reg_from_user was taking 'void *' kernel address that actually could
be target/source memory of either 4 bytes size or 8 bytes size, and code copied
from/to user memory that could hold either 4 bytes register, 8 byte register
or pair of 4 bytes registers.

In order to work in endian agnostic way reg_from_user to reg_to_user functions
should copy register value only to kernel variable with size that matches
register size. In few place where size mismatch existed fix issue on macro
caller side.

which has to be adjusted for BE case.
