Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:
 "VFIO updates for v3.15 include:

   - Allow the vfio-type1 IOMMU to support multiple domains within a
     container
   - Plumb path to query whether all domains are cache-coherent
   - Wire query into kvm-vfio device to avoid KVM x86 WBINVD emulation
   - Always select CONFIG_ANON_INODES, vfio depends on it (Arnd)

  The first patch also makes the vfio-type1 IOMMU driver completely
  independent of the bus_type of the devices it's handling, which
  enables it to be used for both vfio-pci and a future vfio-platform
  (and hopefully combinations involving both simultaneously)"

* tag 'vfio-v3.15-rc1' of git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio:
  vfio: always select ANON_INODES
  kvm/vfio: Support for DMA coherent IOMMUs
  vfio: Add external user check extension interface
  vfio/type1: Add extension to test DMA cache coherence of IOMMU

<title>mm: close PageTail race</title>

<id>668f9abbd4334e6c29fa8acd71635c4f9101caa7</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit bf6bddf1924e ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for
ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction
which dereferences page-&gt;first_page if PageTail(page).

This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the
aforementioned page_count(page).  Indeed, anything that does
compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with
prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page-&gt;first_page
pointer.

This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that
deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head()
implementation.  This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that
if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither
NULL nor dangling.  The patch then adds a store memory barrier to
prep_compound_page() to ensure page-&gt;first_page is set.

This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are
expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the
memory barriers are unfortunately required.

Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier
during init since no race is possible.

the external user interface, allowing KVM to probe IOMMU coherency.

This lets us check extensions, particularly VFIO_DMA_CC_IOMMU using
the external user interface, allowing KVM to probe IOMMU coherency.

Now that the type1 IOMMU backend can support IOMMU_CACHE, we need to
be able to test whether coherency is currently enforced.  Add an
extension for this.

<title>vfio/iommu_type1: Multi-IOMMU domain support</title>

<id>1ef3e2bc04223ff956dc62abaf2dff1f3322a431</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently have a problem that we cannot support advanced features
of an IOMMU domain (ex. IOMMU_CACHE), because we have no guarantee
that those features will be supported by all of the hardware units
involved with the domain over its lifetime.  For instance, the Intel
VT-d architecture does not require that all DRHDs support snoop
control.  If we create a domain based on a device behind a DRHD that
does support snoop control and enable SNP support via the IOMMU_CACHE
mapping option, we cannot then add a device behind a DRHD which does
not support snoop control or we'll get reserved bit faults from the
SNP bit in the pagetables.  To add to the complexity, we can't know
the properties of a domain until a device is attached.

We could pass this problem off to userspace and require that a
separate vfio container be used, but we don't know how to handle page
accounting in that case.  How do we know that a page pinned in one
container is the same page as a different container and avoid double
billing the user for the page.

The solution is therefore to support multiple IOMMU domains per
container.  In the majority of cases, only one domain will be required
since hardware is typically consistent within a system.  However, this
provides us the ability to validate compatibility of domains and
support mixed environments where page table flags can be different
between domains.

To do this, our DMA tracking needs to change.  We currently try to
coalesce user mappings into as few tracking entries as possible.  The
problem then becomes that we lose granularity of user mappings.  We've
never guaranteed that a user is able to unmap at a finer granularity
than the original mapping, but we must honor the granularity of the
original mapping.  This coalescing code is therefore removed, allowing
only unmaps covering complete maps.  The change in accounting is
fairly small here, a typical QEMU VM will start out with roughly a
dozen entries, so it's arguable if this coalescing was ever needed.

We also move IOMMU domain creation to the point where a group is
attached to the container.  An interesting side-effect of this is that
we now have access to the device at the time of domain creation and
can probe the devices within the group to determine the bus_type.
This finally makes vfio_iommu_type1 completely device/bus agnostic.
In fact, each IOMMU domain can host devices on different buses managed
by different physical IOMMUs, and present a single DMA mapping
interface to the user.  When a new domain is created, mappings are
replayed to bring the IOMMU pagetables up to the state of the current
container.  And of course, DMA mapping and unmapping automatically
traverse all of the configured IOMMU domains.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "So here's my next branch for powerpc.  A bit late as I was on vacation
  last week.  It's mostly the same stuff that was in next already, I
  just added two patches today which are the wiring up of lockref for
  powerpc, which for some reason fell through the cracks last time and
  is trivial.

  The highlights are, in addition to a bunch of bug fixes:

   - Reworked Machine Check handling on kernels running without a
     hypervisor (or acting as a hypervisor).  Provides hooks to handle
     some errors in real mode such as TLB errors, handle SLB errors,
     etc...

   - Support for retrieving memory error information from the service
     processor on IBM servers running without a hypervisor and routing
     them to the memory poison infrastructure.

   - _PAGE_NUMA support on server processors

   - 32-bit BookE relocatable kernel support

   - FSL e6500 hardware tablewalk support

   - A bunch of new/revived board support

   - FSL e6500 deeper idle states and altivec powerdown support

  You'll notice a generic mm change here, it has been acked by the
  relevant authorities and is a pre-req for our _PAGE_NUMA support"

* 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (121 commits)
  powerpc: Implement arch_spin_is_locked() using arch_spin_value_unlocked()
  powerpc: Add support for the optimised lockref implementation
  powerpc/powernv: Call OPAL sync before kexec'ing
  powerpc/eeh: Escalate error on non-existing PE
  powerpc/eeh: Handle multiple EEH errors
  powerpc: Fix transactional FP/VMX/VSX unavailable handlers
  powerpc: Don't corrupt transactional state when using FP/VMX in kernel
  powerpc: Reclaim two unused thread_info flag bits
  powerpc: Fix races with irq_work
  Move precessing of MCE queued event out from syscall exit path.
  pseries/cpuidle: Remove redundant call to ppc64_runlatch_off() in cpu idle routines
  powerpc: Make add_system_ram_resources() __init
  powerpc: add SATA_MV to ppc64_defconfig
  powerpc/powernv: Increase candidate fw image size
  powerpc: Add debug checks to catch invalid cpu-to-node mappings
  powerpc: Fix the setup of CPU-to-Node mappings during CPU online
  powerpc/iommu: Don't detach device without IOMMU group
  powerpc/eeh: Hotplug improvement
  powerpc/eeh: Call opal_pci_reinit() on powernv for restoring config space
  powerpc/eeh: Add restore_config operation
