commit 81d7a3294de7e9828310bbf986a67246b13fa01e upstream.

According to memory-barriers.txt, xchg*, cmpxchg* and their atomic_
versions all need to be fully ordered, however they are now just
RELEASE+ACQUIRE, which are not fully ordered.

So also replace PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER and PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER with
PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER and PPC_ATOMIC_EXIT_BARRIER in
__{cmp,}xchg_{u32,u64} respectively to guarantee fully ordered semantics
of atomic{,64}_{cmp,}xchg() and {cmp,}xchg(), as a complement of commit
b97021f85517 ("powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics")

This patch depends on patch "powerpc: Make value-returning atomics fully
ordered" for PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER definition.

commit 49e9cf3f0c04bf76ffa59242254110309554861d upstream.

According to memory-barriers.txt:

&gt; Any atomic operation that modifies some state in memory and returns
&gt; information about the state (old or new) implies an SMP-conditional
&gt; general memory barrier (smp_mb()) on each side of the actual
&gt; operation ...

Which mean these operations should be fully ordered. However on PPC,
PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER is the barrier before the actual operation,
which is currently "lwsync" if SMP=y. The leading "lwsync" can not
guarantee fully ordered atomics, according to Paul Mckenney:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/14/970

To fix this, we define PPC_ATOMIC_ENTRY_BARRIER as "sync" to guarantee
the fully-ordered semantics.

This also makes futex atomics fully ordered, which can avoid possible
memory ordering problems if userspace code relies on futex system call
for fully ordered semantics.

<title>Partial revert of "powerpc: Individual System V IPC system calls"</title>

<content type='text'>
This partially reverts commit a34236155afb1cc41945e58388ac988431bcb0b8.

While reviewing the glibc patch to exploit the individual IPC calls,
Arnd &amp; Andreas noticed that we were still requiring userspace to pass
IPC_64 in order to get the new style IPC API.

With a bit of cleanup in the kernel we can drop that requirement, and
instead only provide the new style API, which will simplify things for
userspace.

Rather than try and sneak that patch into 4.4, instead we will drop the
individual IPC calls for powerpc, and merge them again in 4.5 once the
cleanup patch has gone in.

Because we've already added sys_mlock2() as syscall #378, we don't do a
full revert of the IPC calls. Instead we drop the __NR #defines, and
send those now undefined syscall numbers to sys_ni_syscall(). This
leaves a gap in the syscall numbers, but we'll reuse them when we merge
the individual IPC calls.

<title>powerpc/tm: Block signal return setting invalid MSR state</title>

<id>d2b9d2a5ad5ef04ff978c9923d19730cb05efd55</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we allow both the MSR T and S bits to be set by userspace on
a signal return.  Unfortunately this is a reserved configuration and
will cause a TM Bad Thing exception if attempted (via rfid).

This patch checks for this case in both the 32 and 64 bit signals
code.  If both T and S are set, we mark the context as invalid.

Found using a syscall fuzzer.

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"
