commit 4a5d69b73948d0e03cd38d77dc11edb2e707165f upstream.

The vgic code on ARM is built for all configurations that enable KVM,
but the parent_data field that it references is only present when
CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY is set:

virt/kvm/arm/vgic.c: In function 'kvm_vgic_map_phys_irq':
virt/kvm/arm/vgic.c:1781:13: error: 'struct irq_data' has no member named 'parent_data'

This flag is implied by the GIC driver, and indeed the VGIC code only
makes sense if a GIC is present. This changes the CONFIG_KVM symbol
to always select GIC, which avoids the issue.

<title>arm: KVM: Disable virtual timer even if the guest is not using it</title>

commit 688bc577ac42ae3d07c889a1f0a72f0b23763d58 upstream.

When running a guest with the architected timer disabled (with QEMU and
the kernel_irqchip=off option, for example), it is important to make
sure the timer gets turned off. Otherwise, the guest may try to
enable it anyway, leading to a screaming HW interrupt.

The fix is to unconditionally turn off the virtual timer on guest
exit.

commit ca09f02f122b2ecb0f5ddfc5fd47b29ed657d4fd upstream.

A critical bug has been found in device memory stage1 translation for
VMs with more then 4GB of address space. Once vm_pgoff size is smaller
then pa (which is true for LPAE case, u32 and u64 respectively) some
more significant bits of pa may be lost as a shift operation is performed
on u32 and later cast onto u64.

Example: vm_pgoff(u32)=0x00210030, PAGE_SHIFT=12
        expected pa(u64):   0x0000002010030000
        produced pa(u64):   0x0000000010030000

The fix is to change the order of operations (casting first onto phys_addr_t
and then shifting).

commit c2f58514cfb374d5368c9da945f1765cd48eb0da upstream.

Until b26e5fdac43c ("arm/arm64: KVM: introduce per-VM ops"),
kvm_vgic_map_resources() used to include a check on irqchip_in_kernel(),
and vgic_v2_map_resources() still has it.

But now vm_ops are not initialized until we call kvm_vgic_create().
Therefore kvm_vgic_map_resources() can being called without a VGIC,
and we die because vm_ops.map_resources is NULL.

Fixing this restores QEMU's kernel-irqchip=off option to a working state,
allowing to use GIC emulation in userspace.

   - MCPM updates from Nicolas
   - Add support for taking platform serial number from DT
   - Re-implement Keystone2 physical address space switch to conform to
     architecture requirements
   - Clean up ARMv7 LPAE code, which goes in hand with the Keystone2
     changes.
   - L2C cleanups to avoid unlocking caches if we're prevented by the
     secure support to unlock.
   - Avoid cleaning a potentially dirty cache containing stale data on
     CPU initialisation
   - Add ARM-only entry point for secondary startup (for machines that
     can only call into a Thumb kernel in ARM mode).  Same thing is also
     done for the resume entry point.
   - Provide arch_irqs_disabled via asm-generic
   - Enlarge ARMv7M vector table
   - Always use BFD linker for VDSO, as gold doesn't accept some of the
     options we need.
   - Fix an incorrect BSYM (for Thumb symbols) usage, and convert all
     BSYM compiler macros to a "badr" (for branch address).
   - Shut up compiler warnings provoked by our cmpxchg() implementation.
   - Ensure bad xchg sizes fail to link"

 "Mostly refactoring/clean-up:

   - Using fixmap for permanent FDT mapping, removing the initial dtb
     placement requirements (within 512MB from the start of the kernel
     image).  This required moving the FDT self reservation out of the
     memreserve processing

   - Idmap (1:1 mapping used for MMU on/off) handling clean-up

   - Removing flush_cache_all() - not safe on ARM unless the MMU is off.
     Last stages of CPU power down/up are handled by firmware already

   - "Alternatives" (run-time code patching) refactoring and support for
     immediate branch patching, GICv3 CPU interface access

   - User faults handling clean-up

  And some fixes:

   - Fix for VDSO building with broken ELF toolchains

   - Fix another case of init_mm.pgd usage for user mappings (during
     ASID roll-over broadcasting)

   - Fix for FPSIMD reloading after CPU hotplug

The GIC Hypervisor Configuration Register is used to enable
the delivery of virtual interupts to a guest, as well as to
define in which conditions maintenance interrupts are delivered
to the host.

This register doesn't contain any information that we need to
read back (the EOIcount is utterly useless for us).

So let's save ourselves some cycles, and not save it before
writing zero to it.

According to the PSCI specification and the SMC/HVC calling
convention, PSCI function_ids that are not implemented must
return NOT_SUPPORTED as return value.

Current KVM implementation takes an unhandled PSCI function_id
as an error and injects an undefined instruction into the guest
if PSCI implementation is called with a function_id that is not
handled by the resident PSCI version (ie it is not implemented),
which is not the behaviour expected by a guest when calling a
PSCI function_id that is not implemented.

This patch fixes this issue by returning NOT_SUPPORTED whenever
the kvm PSCI call is executed for a function_id that is not
implemented by the PSCI kvm layer.

The KVM-VFIO device is used by the QEMU VFIO device. It is used to
record the list of in-use VFIO groups so that KVM can manipulate
them.
