Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - Fix the DWARF CFI in our VDSO time functions, allowing gdb to
   backtrace through them correctly.

 - Fix a buffer overflow in the papr_scm driver, only triggerable by
   hypervisor input.

 - A fix in the recently added QoS handling for VAS (used for
   communicating with coprocessors).

Thanks to Alan Modra, Haren Myneni, Kajol Jain, and Segher Boessenkool.

As reported by Alan, the CFI (Call Frame Information) in the VDSO time
routines is incorrect since commit ce7d8056e38b ("powerpc/vdso: Prepare
for switching VDSO to generic C implementation.").

DWARF has a concept called the CFA (Canonical Frame Address), which on
powerpc is calculated as an offset from the stack pointer (r1). That
means when the stack pointer is changed there must be a corresponding
CFI directive to update the calculation of the CFA.

The current code is missing those directives for the changes to r1,
which prevents gdb from being able to generate a backtrace from inside
VDSO functions, eg:

  Breakpoint 1, 0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime ()
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime ()
  #1  0x00007ffff7d8872c in clock_gettime@@GLIBC_2.17 () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  #2  0x00007fffffffd960 in ?? ()
  #3  0x00007ffff7d8872c in clock_gettime@@GLIBC_2.17 () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC

Alan helpfully describes some rules for correctly maintaining the CFI information:

  1) Every adjustment to the current frame address reg (ie. r1) must be
     described, and exactly at the instruction where r1 changes. Why?
     Because stack unwinding might want to access previous frames.

  2) If a function changes LR or any non-volatile register, the save
     location for those regs must be given. The CFI can be at any
     instruction after the saves up to the point that the reg is
     changed.
     (Exception: LR save should be described before a bl. not after)

  3) If asychronous unwind info is needed then restores of LR and
     non-volatile regs must also be described. The CFI can be at any
     instruction after the reg is restored up to the point where the
     save location is (potentially) trashed.

Fix the inability to backtrace by adding CFI directives describing the
changes to r1, ie. satisfying rule 1.

Also change the information for LR to point to the copy saved on the
stack, not the value in r0 that will be overwritten by the function
call.

Finally, add CFI directives describing the save/restore of r2.

With the fix gdb can correctly back trace and navigate up and down the stack:

  Breakpoint 1, 0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime ()
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime ()

This is a partial revert of commit 0faf20a1ad16 ("powerpc/64s/interrupt:
Don't enable MSR[EE] in irq handlers unless perf is in use").

Prior to that commit, we always set the decrementer in
timer_interrupt(), to clear the timer interrupt. Otherwise we could end
up continuously taking timer interrupts.

When high res timers are enabled there is no problem seen with leaving
the decrementer untouched in timer_interrupt(), because it will be
programmed via hrtimer_interrupt() -&gt; tick_program_event() -&gt;
clockevents_program_event() -&gt; decrementer_set_next_event().

However with CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n or booting with highres=off, we
see a stall/lockup, because tick_nohz_handler() does not cause a
reprogram of the decrementer, leading to endless timer interrupts.

Possibly this should be fixed in the lowres timing code, but that would
be a generic change and could take some time and may not backport
easily, so for now make the programming of the decrementer unconditional
again in timer_interrupt() to avoid the stall/lockup.

Possibly this should be fixed in the lowres timing code, but that would
be a generic change and could take some time and may not backport
easily, so for now make the programming of the decrementer unconditional
again in timer_interrupt() to avoid the stall/lockup.

<title>vmalloc: replace VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP with VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP</title>

Huge page backed vmalloc memory could benefit performance in many cases.
However, some users of vmalloc may not be ready to handle huge pages for
various reasons: hardware constraints, potential pages split, etc.
VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP was introduced to allow vmalloc users to opt-out huge
pages.  However, it is not easy to track down all the users that require
the opt-out, as the allocation are passed different stacks and may cause
issues in different layers.

To address this issue, replace VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP with an opt-in flag,
VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP, so that users that benefit from huge pages could ask
specificially.

Also, remove vmalloc_no_huge() and add opt-in helper vmalloc_huge().

Fixes: fac54e2bfb5b ("x86/Kconfig: Select HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC with HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP")

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:

 - Fix KVM "lost kick" race, where an attempt to pull a vcpu out of the
   guest could be lost (or delayed until the next guest exit).

 - Disable SCV (system call vectored) when PR KVM guests could be run.

 - Fix KVM PR guests using SCV, by disallowing AIL != 0 for KVM PR
   guests.

 - Add a new KVM CAP to indicate if AIL == 3 is supported.

 - Fix a regression when hotplugging a CPU to a memoryless/cpuless node.

 - Make virt_addr_valid() stricter for 64-bit Book3E &amp; 32-bit, which
   fixes crashes seen due to hardened usercopy.

 - Revert a change to max_mapnr which broke HIGHMEM.

Thanks to Christophe Leroy, Fabiano Rosas, Kefeng Wang, Nicholas Piggin,
and Srikar Dronamraju.

Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
  the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
  permission check to ptrace.c

  The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
  source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
  task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
  semantics clearer).

  For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
  implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
  was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
  years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
  bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
  some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"
