commit 454d5d882c7e412b840e3c99010fe81a9862f6fb upstream.

Using RING_GET_REQUEST() on a shared ring is easy to use incorrectly
(i.e., by not considering that the other end may alter the data in the
shared ring while it is being inspected).  Safe usage of a request
generally requires taking a local copy.

Provide a RING_COPY_REQUEST() macro to use instead of
RING_GET_REQUEST() and an open-coded memcpy().  This takes care of
ensuring that the copy is done correctly regardless of any possible
compiler optimizations.

Use a volatile source to prevent the compiler from reordering or
omitting the copy.

This is part of XSA155.

<title>x86/xen: Support kexec/kdump in HVM guests by doing a soft reset</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 0b34a166f291d255755be46e43ed5497cdd194f2 upstream.

Currently there is a number of issues preventing PVHVM Xen guests from
doing successful kexec/kdump:

  - Bound event channels.
  - Registered vcpu_info.
  - PIRQ/emuirq mappings.
  - shared_info frame after XENMAPSPACE_shared_info operation.
  - Active grant mappings.

Basically, newly booted kernel stumbles upon already set up Xen
interfaces and there is no way to reestablish them. In Xen-4.7 a new
feature called 'soft reset' is coming. A guest performing kexec/kdump
operation is supposed to call SCHEDOP_shutdown hypercall with
SHUTDOWN_soft_reset reason before jumping to new kernel. Hypervisor
(with some help from toolstack) will do full domain cleanup (but
keeping its memory and vCPU contexts intact) returning the guest to
the state it had when it was first booted and thus allowing it to
start over.

Doing SHUTDOWN_soft_reset on Xen hypervisors which don't support it is
probably OK as by default all unknown shutdown reasons cause domain
destroy with a message in toolstack log: 'Unknown shutdown reason code
5. Destroying domain.'  which gives a clue to what the problem is and
eliminates false expectations.

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:
 "Now that the core bits are in, here's the pull request for the driver
  related changes for 3.16.  Nothing out of the ordinary here, mostly
  business as usual.  There are a few pulls of for-3.16/core into this
  branch, which were done when the blk-mq was modified after the
  mtip32xx conversion was put in.

  The pull request contains:

   - skd and cciss converted to use pci_enable_msix_exact().  From
     Alexander Gordeev.

   - A few mtip32xx fixes from Asai @ Micron.

   - The conversion of mtip32xx from make_request_fn to blk-mq, and a
     later small fix for that conversion on quiescing for non-queued IO.
     From me.

   - A fix for bsg to use an exported function to check whether this
     driver is request based or not.  Needed updating for blk-mq, which
     is request based, but does not have a request_fn hook.  From me.

   - Small floppy bug fix from Jiri.

   - A series of cleanups for the cdrom uniform layer from Joe Perches.
     Gets rid of various old ugly macros, making the code conform more
     to the modern coding style.

   - A series of patches for drbd from the drbd crew (Lars Ellenberg and
     Philipp Reisner).

   - A use-after-free fix for null_blk from Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei is a performance patch for virtio-blk, which can
     net us a 3x win on kvm platforms where world notification is
     expensive.

   - Ming Lei also fixed a stall issue in virtio-blk, due to a race
     between queue start/stop and resource limits.

   - A small batch of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Olaf Hering and
     Valentin Priescu"

As part of this make the usual change to xen_ulong_t in place of unsigned long.
This change has no impact on x86.

The Linux definition of struct multicall_entry.result differs from the Xen
definition, I think for good reasons, and used a long rather than an unsigned
long. Therefore introduce a xen_long_t, which is a long on x86 architectures
and a signed 64-bit integer on ARM.

Use uint32_t nr_calls on x86 for consistency with the ARM definition.

Build tested on amd64 and i386 builds. Runtime tested on ARM.

Add support for MSI message groups for Xen Dom0 using the
MAP_PIRQ_TYPE_MULTI_MSI pirq map type.

In order to keep track of which pirq is the first one in the group all
pirqs in the MSI group except for the first one have the newly
introduced PIRQ_MSI_GROUP flag set. This prevents calling
PHYSDEVOP_unmap_pirq on them, since the unmap must be done with the
first pirq in the group.

Pull block IO fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Second round of updates and fixes for 3.14-rc2.  Most of this stuff
  has been queued up for a while.  The notable exception is the blk-mq
  changes, which are naturally a bit more in flux still.

  The pull request contains:

   - Two bug fixes for the new immutable vecs, causing crashes with raid
     or swap.  From Kent.

   - Various blk-mq tweaks and fixes from Christoph.  A fix for
     integrity bio's from Nic.

   - A few bcache fixes from Kent and Darrick Wong.

   - xen-blk{front,back} fixes from David Vrabel, Matt Rushton, Nicolas
     Swenson, and Roger Pau Monne.

   - Fix for a vec miscount with integrity vectors from Martin.

   - Minor annotations or fixes from Masanari Iida and Rashika Kheria.

   - Tweak to null_blk to do more normal FIFO processing of requests
     from Shlomo Pongratz.

   - Elevator switching bypass fix from Tejun.

   - Softlockup in blkdev_issue_discard() fix when !CONFIG_PREEMPT from
     me"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (31 commits)
  block: add cond_resched() to potentially long running ioctl discard loop
  xen-blkback: init persistent_purge_work work_struct
  blk-mq: pair blk_mq_start_request / blk_mq_requeue_request
  blk-mq: dont assume rq-&gt;errors is set when returning an error from -&gt;queue_rq
  block: Fix cloning of discard/write same bios
  block: Fix type mismatch in ssize_t_blk_mq_tag_sysfs_show
  blk-mq: rework flush sequencing logic
  null_blk: use blk_complete_request and blk_mq_complete_request
  virtio_blk: use blk_mq_complete_request
  blk-mq: rework I/O completions
  fs: Add prototype declaration to appropriate header file include/linux/bio.h
  fs: Mark function as static in fs/bio-integrity.c
  block/null_blk: Fix completion processing from LIFO to FIFO
  block: Explicitly handle discard/write same segments
  block: Fix nr_vecs for inline integrity vectors
  blk-mq: Add bio_integrity setup to blk_mq_make_request

Pull Xen bugfixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "This has an healthy amount of code being removed - which we do not use
  anymore (the only user of it was ia64 Xen which had been removed
  already).  The other bug-fixes are to make Xen ARM be able to use the
  new event channel mechanism and proper export of header files to
  user-space.

  Summary:
   - Fix ARM and Xen FIFO not working.
   - Remove more Xen ia64 vestigates.
   - Fix UAPI missing Xen files"
