This patch add a support for second version of the virtio-mmio device,
which follows OASIS "Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Version 1.0"
specification.
Main changes:
1. The control register symbolic names use the new device/driver
nomenclature rather than the old guest/host one.
2. The driver detect the device version (version 1 is the pre-OASIS
spec, version 2 is compatible with fist revision of the OASIS spec)
and drives the device accordingly.
3. New version uses direct addressing (64 bit address split into two
low/high register) instead of the guest page size based one,
and addresses each part of the queue (descriptors, available, used)
separately.
4. The device activity is now explicitly triggered by writing to the
"queue ready" register.
5. Whole 64 bit features are properly handled now (both ways).

I noticed ksm spending quite a lot of time in memcmp on a large
KVM box. The current memcmp loop is very unoptimised - byte at a
time compares with no loop unrolling. We can do much much better.
Optimise the loop in a few ways:
- Unroll the byte at a time loop
- For large (at least 32 byte) comparisons that are also 8 byte
aligned, use an unrolled modulo scheduled loop using 8 byte
loads. This is similar to our glibc memcmp.
A simple microbenchmark testing 10000000 iterations of an 8192 byte
memcmp was used to measure the performance:
baseline: 29.93 s
modified: 1.70 s
Just over 17x faster.
v2: Incorporated some suggestions from Segher:
- Use andi. instead of rdlicl.
- Convert bdnzt eq, to bdnz. It's just duplicating the earlier compare
and was a relic from a previous version.
- Don't use cr5, we have plans to use that CR field for fast local
atomics.

The callback (ppc_md.pci_probe_mode()) is used to determine if the
child PCI devices of the indicated PCI bus should be probed from
device-tree or hardware. On PowerNV platform, we always expect
probing PCI devices from hardware, which is PowerPC PCI core's
default behaviour. Also, the callback had some delay implemented
based on PHB's device node property "reset-clear-timestamp", which
wasn't exported from skiboot. So we don't need this function and
it's safe to remove it.

When calling to early_setup(), we pick "boot_paca" up for the master CPU

Currently, all non-dot symbols are being treated as function descriptors
in ABIv1. This is incorrect and is resulting in perf probe not working:
# perf probe do_fork
Added new event:
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Error: Failed to add events.
# dmesg | tail -1
[192268.073063] Could not insert probe at _text+768432: -22
perf probe bases all kernel probes on _text and writes,
for example, "p:probe/do_fork _text+768432" to
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events. In-kernel, _text is being
considered to be a function descriptor and is resulting in the above
error.
Fix this by changing how we lookup symbol addresses on ppc64. We first
check for the dot variant of a symbol and look at the non-dot variant
only if that fails. In this manner, we avoid having to look at the
function descriptor.
While at it, also separate out how this works on ABIv2 where
we don't have dot symbols, but need to use the local entry point.

Commit 5ac6f91d changed the igb driver to expose a zero (empty) mac
address to the VF on reset rather than a random one.
However, that behavioral change also requires igbvf driver changes
which can be hard especially when we want to talk to proprietary
guest OSs.
Looking at the code previous to the commit in Linux that made igbvf
work with empty mac addresses (8d56b6d), we can see that on reset
failure the driver will try to generate a new mac address with both
the old and the new code.
Furthermore, ixgbe does send reset failure when it detects an empty
mac address (35055928c).
So I think it's safe to make igb behave the same. With this patch I
can successfully run a Windows 8.1 guest with an empty mac address
and an assigned igbvf device that has no mac address set by the host.
If anyone is aware of a guest driver that chokes on NACK returns of
VF RESET commands, please speak up.

It also cleans up how we clear the descriptor status bits. Previously they

64 bit field and 64 bit writes can be a bit more expensive on on 32 bit
systems. Since we are no longer using the header split feature the upper
32 bits of the address no longer need to be cleared. As a result we can
just clear the status bits and leave the length and VLAN fields as-is which

Some drivers unfortunately cannot support software crypto, but

This has the issue that if the hardware enabling fails for some
reason, the software fallback is used, which won't work. This
clearly isn't desirable, the error should be reported and the
key setting refused.
Support this in mac80211 by allowing drivers to set a new HW
flag IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL, in which case mac80211 will
only allow software fallback if the set_key() method returns 1.
The driver will also need to advertise supported cipher suites
so that mac80211 doesn't advertise any (future) software ciphers
that the driver can't actually do.
While at it, to make it easier to support this, refactor the
ieee80211_init_cipher_suites() code.

The Witcher 2 did something like this to allocate a TLS segment index:
struct user_desc u_info;
bzero(&u_info, sizeof(u_info));
u_info.entry_number = (uint32_t)-1;
syscall(SYS_set_thread_area, &u_info);
Strictly speaking, this code was never correct. It should have set
read_exec_only and seg_not_present to 1 to indicate that it wanted
to find a free slot without putting anything there, or it should
have put something sensible in the TLS slot if it wanted to allocate
a TLS entry for real. The actual effect of this code was to
allocate a bogus segment that could be used to exploit espfix.
The set_thread_area hardening patches changed the behavior, causing
set_thread_area to return -EINVAL and crashing the game.
This changes set_thread_area to interpret this as a request to find
a free slot and to leave it empty, which isn't *quite* what the game
expects but should be close enough to keep it working. In
particular, using the code above to allocate two segments will
allocate the same segment both times.
According to FrostbittenKing on Github, this fixes The Witcher 2.
If this somehow still causes problems, we could instead allocate
a limit==0 32-bit data segment, but that seems rather ugly to me.

The 3.19 merge window saw some TLB modifications merged which caused a
performance regression. They were fixed in commit 045bbb9fa.
Once that fix was applied, I also noticed that there was a small
but intermittent regression still present. It was not present
consistently enough to bisect reliably, but I'm fairly confident
that it came from (my own) MPX patches. The source was reading
a relatively unused field in the mm_struct via arch_unmap.
I also noted that this code was in the main instruction flow of
do_munmap() and probably had more icache impact than we want.
This patch does two things:
1. Adds a static (via Kconfig) and dynamic (via cpuid) check
for MPX with cpu_feature_enabled(). This keeps us from
reading that cacheline in the mm and trades it for a check
of the global CPUID variables at least on CPUs without MPX.
2. Adds an unlikely() to ensure that the MPX call ends up out
of the main instruction flow in do_munmap(). I've added
a detailed comment about why this was done and why we want
it even on systems where MPX is present.

We had originally planned on submitting MPX support in one patch
set. We eventually broke it up in to two pieces for easier
review. One of the features that didn't make the first round
was supporting 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels.
Once we split the set up, we never added code to restrict 32-bit
binaries from _using_ MPX on 64-bit kernels.
The 32-bit bounds tables are a different format than the 64-bit
ones. Without this patch, the kernel will try to read a 32-bit
binary's tables as if they were the 64-bit version. They will
likely be noticed as being invalid rather quickly and the app
will get killed, but that's kinda mean.
This patch adds an explicit check, and will make a 64-bit kernel
essentially behave as if it has no MPX support when called from
a 32-bit binary.

Convert the cns3xxx PCI driver to use the generic config access functions.
This changes accesses from __raw_readl/__raw_writel to readl/writel.

When perf exits with some error it shows the error message with
ui__error() or ui__warning() and then calls ui__exit() during
exit_browser().
On TUI, it then shows a window titled "Fatal Error" to inform user a
last message which might be related with this condition. However it
sometimes contains no message and just annoyes users.
The usual case for this is running perf top as normal user. (And
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid being 1).

It was testing the same buffer for differences:
memcmp(s1->user_stack.data, s1->user_stack.data, s1->user_stack.size)
I'm pretty sure this wasn't supposed to be dead code.

If debugfs was already mounted, then its a matter of not finding the
tracepoint, tell the user that perhaps a CONFIG_ setting is not enabled.
