commit c341ca45ce56143804ef5a8f4db753e554e640b4 upstream.

When we do an FLR, or D0-&gt;D3_hot we may lose the BARs as the
device has turned itself off (and on). This means the device cannot
function unless the pci_restore_state is called - which it is
when the PCI device is unbound from the Xen PCI backend driver.
For PV guests it ends up calling pci_enable_device / pci_enable_msi[x]
which does the proper steps

That however is not happening if a HVM guest is run as QEMU
deals with PCI configuration space. QEMU also requires that the
device be "parked"  under the ownership of a pci-stub driver to
guarantee that the PCI device is not being used. Hence we
follow the same incantation as pci_reset_function does - by
doing an FLR, then restoring the PCI configuration space.

The result of this patch is that when you run lspci, you get
now this:

-       Region 0: [virtual] Memory at fe8c0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
-       Region 1: [virtual] Memory at fe800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
+       Region 0: Memory at fe8c0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
+       Region 1: Memory at fe800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
        Region 2: I/O ports at c000 [size=32]
-       Region 3: [virtual] Memory at fe8e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
+       Region 3: Memory at fe8e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]

The [virtual] means that lspci read those entries from SysFS but when
it read them from the device it got a different value (0xfffffff).

<title>xen/m2p: do not reuse kmap_op-&gt;dev_bus_addr</title>

commit 2fc136eecd0c647a6b13fcd00d0c41a1a28f35a5 upstream.

If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use
kmap_op-&gt;dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is
part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it
might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later
on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is
actually what Xen has written to it.

Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using
page-&gt;index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to
m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead.
It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op
corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only
user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).

commit 80ba77dfbce85f2d1be54847de3c866de1b18a9a upstream.

When we do FLR and save PCI config we did it in the wrong order.
The end result was that if a PCI device was unbind from
its driver, then binded to xen-pciback, and then back to its
driver we would get:

&gt; lspci -s 04:00.0
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection
13:42:12 # 4 :~/
&gt; echo "0000:04:00.0" &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/unbind
&gt; modprobe e1000e
e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 2.0.0-k
e1000e: Copyright(c) 1999 - 2012 Intel Corporation.

e1000e: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -2

This fixes it by first saving the PCI configuration space, then
doing the FLR.

<title>xen: Use correct masking in xen_swiotlb_alloc_coherent.</title>

commit b5031ed1be0aa419250557123633453753181643 upstream.

When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent
DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB.

The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a
DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev-&gt;coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff)
our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to
DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits.
By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting
and we get 0xfffffffff.

This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit
compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit.

On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent
DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling
dma_alloc_coherent_mask.

This patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb and is a rebase of the
original patch from Ronny Hegewald which never got upstream b/c the
underlaying reason was not understood until now.

Pull five Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:

 - When booting as PVHVM we would try to use PV console - but would not validate
   the parameters causing us to crash during restore b/c we re-use the wrong event
   channel.
 - When booting on machines with SR-IOV PCI bridge we didn't check for the bridge
   and tried to use it.
 - Under AMD machines would advertise the APERFMPERF resulting in needless amount
   of MSRs from the guest.
 - A global value (xen_released_pages) was not subtracted at bootup when pages
   were added back in. This resulted in the balloon worker having the wrong
   account of how many pages were truly released.
 - Fix dead-lock when xen-blkfront is run in the same domain as xen-blkback.

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.5-rc2-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
  xen: mark local pages as FOREIGN in the m2p_override
  xen/setup: filter APERFMPERF cpuid feature out
  xen/balloon: Subtract from xen_released_pages the count that is populated.

  xen/events: Add WARN_ON when quick lookup found invalid type.

Pull frontswap feature from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Frontswap provides a "transcendent memory" interface for swap pages.
  In some environments, dramatic performance savings may be obtained
  because swapped pages are saved in RAM (or a RAM-like device) instead
  of a swap disk.  This tag provides the basic infrastructure along with
  some changes to the existing backends."

Fix up trivial conflict in mm/Makefile due to removal of swap token code
changing a line next to the new frontswap entry.

This pull request came in before the merge window even opened, it got
delayed to after the merge window by me just wanting to make sure it had
actual users.  Apparently IBM is using this on their embedded side, and
Jan Beulich says that it's already made available for SLES and OpenSUSE
users.

Also acked by Rik van Riel, and Konrad points to other people liking it
too.  So in it goes.

because that have internal routing mechanism. So need to check whether the bridge is
existing before using it.

<title>xen/events: Add WARN_ON when quick lookup found invalid type.</title>

All of the bind_XYZ_to_irq do a quick lookup to see if the
event exists. And if it does, then the initialized IRQ number
is returned instead of initializing a new IRQ number.

This patch adds an extra logic to check that the type returned
is proper one and that there is an IRQ handler setup for it.

This patch has the benefit of being able to find drivers that
are doing something naught.

[v1: Enhanced based on Stefano's review]

<title>Merge branch 'x86-trampoline-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip</title>

Pull x86 trampoline rework from H. Peter Anvin:
 "This code reworks all the "trampoline"/"realmode" code (various bits
  that need to live in the first megabyte of memory, most but not all of
  which runs in real mode at some point) in the kernel into a single
  object.  The main reason for doing this is that it eliminates the last
  place in the kernel where we needed pages to be mapped RWX.  This code
  separates all that code into proper R/RW/RX pages."

Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile (mca removed next to reboot
code), and arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c (reboot code moved around in one
branch, modified in this one), and arch/x86/tools/relocs.c (mostly same
code came in earlier due to working around the ld bugs just before the
3.4 release).

Also remove stale x86-relocs entry from scripts/.gitignore as per Peter
Anvin.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Features:
   * Extend the APIC ops implementation and add IRQ_WORKER vector
     support so that 'perf' can work properly.
   * Fix self-ballooning code, and balloon logic when booting as initial
     domain.
   * Move array printing code to generic debugfs
   * Support XenBus domains.
   * Lazily free grants when a domain is dead/non-existent.
   * In M2P code use batching calls
  Bug-fixes:
   * Fix NULL dereference in allocation failure path (hvc_xen)
   * Fix unbinding of IRQ_WORKER vector during vCPU hot-unplug
   * Fix HVM guest resume - we would leak an PIRQ value instead of
     reusing the existing one."

Fix up add-add onflicts in arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c due to addition of
apic ipi interface next to the new apic_id functions.

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.5-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
  xen: do not map the same GSI twice in PVHVM guests.
  hvc_xen: NULL dereference on allocation failure
  xen: Add selfballoning memory reservation tunable.
  xenbus: Add support for xenbus backend in stub domain
  xen/smp: unbind irqworkX when unplugging vCPUs.
  xen: enter/exit lazy_mmu_mode around m2p_override calls
  xen/acpi/sleep: Enable ACPI sleep via the __acpi_os_prepare_sleep
  xen: implement IRQ_WORK_VECTOR handler
  xen: implement apic ipi interface
  xen/setup: update VA mapping when releasing memory during setup
  xen/setup: Combine the two hypercall functions - since they are quite similar.
  xen/setup: Populate freed MFNs from non-RAM E820 entries and gaps to E820 RAM
  xen/setup: Only print "Freeing XXX-YYY pfn range: Z pages freed" if Z &gt; 0
  xen/gnttab: add deferred freeing logic
  debugfs: Add support to print u32 array in debugfs
  xen/p2m: An early bootup variant of set_phys_to_machine
  xen/p2m: Collapse early_alloc_p2m_middle redundant checks.
  xen/p2m: Allow alloc_p2m_middle to call reserve_brk depending on argument
  xen/p2m: Move code around to allow for better re-usage.
