Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "At over 200 commits, covering almost all supported architectures, this
  was a pretty active cycle for KVM.  Changes include:

   - a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration, GDB
     support and more

   - ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall
     interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by
     Catalin)

   - initial POWER8 and little-endian host support

   - support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets

   - pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace
     interface and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware

   - for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17.  Still, we
     have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested
     fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have
     always worked).  And some optimizations too.

  The only missing architecture here is ia64.  It's not a coincidence
  that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17"

<title>ARM/ARM64: KVM: Add base for PSCI v0.2 emulation</title>

<id>7d0f84aae9e231930985eaff63ac91b61aaa15d6</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the in-kernel PSCI emulation provides PSCI v0.1 interface to
VCPUs. This patch extends current in-kernel PSCI emulation to provide
PSCI v0.2 interface to VCPUs.

By default, ARM/ARM64 KVM will always provide PSCI v0.1 interface for
keeping the ABI backward-compatible.

To select PSCI v0.2 interface for VCPUs, the user space (i.e. QEMU or
KVMTOOL) will have to set KVM_ARM_VCPU_PSCI_0_2 feature when doing VCPU
init using KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl.

<title>sched: Add new scheduler syscalls to support an extended scheduling parameters ABI</title>

<id>d50dde5a10f305253cbc3855307f608f8a3c5f73</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms
with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE).

In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task,
that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is
scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints,
i.e.:

 - a (maximum/typical) instance execution time,
 - a minimum interval between consecutive instances,
 - a time constraint by which each instance must be completed.

Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of
the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended.
Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break
the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with
legacy binaries.

For these reasons, this patch:

 - defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields
   that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational
   model described above;

 - defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that
   manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr().

Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a
proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them
available on other architectures is straightforward.

Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch,
the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their
already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling
policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of
modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.

<content type='text'>
Support setting the distributor and cpu interface base addresses in the
VM physical address space through the KVM_{SET,GET}_DEVICE_ATTR API
in addition to the ARM specific API.

This has the added benefit of being able to share more code in user
space and do things in a uniform manner.

Also deprecate the older API at the same time, but backwards
compatibility will be maintained.

Support setting the distributor and cpu interface base addresses in the
VM physical address space through the KVM_{SET,GET}_DEVICE_ATTR API
in addition to the ARM specific API.

This has the added benefit of being able to share more code in user
space and do things in a uniform manner.

Also deprecate the older API at the same time, but backwards
compatibility will be maintained.

For migration to work we need to save (and later restore) the state of
each core's virtual generic timer.
Since this is per VCPU, we can use the [gs]et_one_reg ioctl and export
the three needed registers (control, counter, compare value).
Though they live in cp15 space, we don't use the existing list, since
they need special accessor functions and the arch timer is optional.
