commit 7de21e679e6a789f3729e8402bc440b623a28eae upstream.

A few archs like powerpc have different errno.h values for macros
EDEADLOCK and EDEADLK. In code including both libc and linux versions of
errno.h, this can result in multiple definitions of EDEADLOCK in the
include chain. Definitions to the same value (e.g. seen with mips) do
not raise warnings, but on powerpc there are redefinitions changing the
value, which raise warnings and errors (if using "-Werror").

Guard against these redefinitions to avoid build errors like the following,
first seen cross-compiling libbpf v5.8.9 for powerpc using GCC 8.4.0 with
musl 1.1.24:

  In file included from ../../arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/errno.h:5,
                   from ../../include/linux/err.h:8,

Wire up io_pgetevents system call on powerpc.

io_pgetevents is a new syscall to read asynchronous I/O events from the
completion queue.

Tested with libaio branch aio-poll[1] and the io_pgetevents test (#22) passed
on both ppc64 LE and BE modes.

Wire up the rseq system call on powerpc.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a user-space getcpu
operation on powerpc by skipping the getcpu system call on the fast
path, as well as improving the speed of user-space operations on per-cpu
data compared to using load-reservation/store-conditional atomics.

This adds a new KVM_REG_PPC_ONLINE register which userspace can set
to 0 or 1 via the GET/SET_ONE_REG interface to indicate whether it
considers the VCPU to be offline (0), that is, not currently running,
or online (1).  This will be used in a later patch to configure the
register which controls PURR and SPURR accumulation.

Using an si_code of 0 that aliases with SI_USER is clearly the wrong
thing todo, and causes problems in interesting ways.

For use in unknown_exception the recently defined TRAP_UNK
semantically is a perfect fit.  For use in RunModeException it looks
like something more specific than TRAP_UNK could be used.  No one has
bothered to find a better fit than the broken si_code of 0 in all of
these years and I don't see an obvious better fit so TRAP_UNK is
switching RunModeException to return TRAP_UNK is clearly an
improvement.

Recent history suggests no actually cares about crazy corner
cases of the kernel behavior like this so I don't expect any
regressions from changing this.  However if something does
happen this change is easy to revert.

Though I wonder if SIGKILL might not be a better fit.

powerpc, uses a nonstandard variation of the generic sysvipc
data structures, intended to have the padding moved around
so it can deal with big-endian 32-bit user space that has
64-bit time_t.

powerpc has the same definition as parisc and sparc, but now also
supports little-endian mode, which is now wrong because the
padding is made for big-endian user space.

This takes just take the same approach here that we have for
the asm-generic headers and adds separate 32-bit fields for the
upper halves of the timestamps, to let libc deal with the mess
in user space.

Pull KVM updates from Radim Krčmář:
 "ARM:

   - icache invalidation optimizations, improving VM startup time

   - support for forwarded level-triggered interrupts, improving
     performance for timers and passthrough platform devices

   - a small fix for power-management notifiers, and some cosmetic
     changes

  PPC:

   - add MMIO emulation for vector loads and stores

   - allow HPT guests to run on a radix host on POWER9 v2.2 CPUs without
     requiring the complex thread synchronization of older CPU versions

   - improve the handling of escalation interrupts with the XIVE
     interrupt controller

   - support decrement register migration

   - various cleanups and bugfixes.

  s390:

   - Cornelia Huck passed maintainership to Janosch Frank

   - exitless interrupts for emulated devices

   - cleanup of cpuflag handling

   - kvm_stat counter improvements

   - VSIE improvements

   - mm cleanup

  x86:

   - hypervisor part of SEV

   - UMIP, RDPID, and MSR_SMI_COUNT emulation

   - paravirtualized TLB shootdown using the new KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED bit

   - allow guests to see TOPOEXT, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, and more
     AVX512 features

   - show vcpu id in its anonymous inode name

   - many fixes and cleanups

   - per-VCPU MSR bitmaps (already merged through x86/pti branch)

   - stable KVM clock when nesting on Hyper-V (merged through
     x86/hyperv)"
