<title>sched: Add new scheduler syscalls to support an extended scheduling parameters ABI</title>

<id>d50dde5a10f305253cbc3855307f608f8a3c5f73</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms
with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE).

In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task,
that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is
scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints,
i.e.:

 - a (maximum/typical) instance execution time,
 - a minimum interval between consecutive instances,
 - a time constraint by which each instance must be completed.

Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of
the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended.
Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break
the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with
legacy binaries.

For these reasons, this patch:

 - defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields
   that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational
   model described above;

 - defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that
   manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr().

Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a
proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them
available on other architectures is straightforward.

Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch,
the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their
already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling
policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of
modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.

Add infrastructure to handle distributor and cpu interface register
accesses through the KVM_{GET/SET}_DEVICE_ATTR interface by adding the
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_DIST_REGS and KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CPU_REGS groups
and defining the semantics of the attr field to be the MMIO offset as
specified in the GICv2 specs.

Missing register accesses or other changes in individual register access
functions to support save/restore of the VGIC state is added in

Support setting the distributor and cpu interface base addresses in the
VM physical address space through the KVM_{SET,GET}_DEVICE_ATTR API
in addition to the ARM specific API.

This has the added benefit of being able to share more code in user
space and do things in a uniform manner.

Also deprecate the older API at the same time, but backwards
compatibility will be maintained.

<title>ARM/KVM: save and restore generic timer registers</title>

For migration to work we need to save (and later restore) the state of
each core's virtual generic timer.
Since this is per VCPU, we can use the [gs]et_one_reg ioctl and export
the three needed registers (control, counter, compare value).
Though they live in cp15 space, we don't use the existing list, since
they need special accessor functions and the arch timer is optional.

Pull KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Here are the 3.13 KVM changes.  There was a lot of work on the PPC
  side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel
  is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view.

  On the x86 side there are nested virtualization improvements and a few
  bugfixes.

  ARM got transparent huge page support, improved overcommit, and
  support for big endian guests.

  Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO.  This
  helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the
  driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions.  This includes some
  nVidia cards on Windows, that fail to start without these patches and
  the corresponding userspace changes"

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Included in this series are:

   1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks
   2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin
   3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
   4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
   5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
   6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
   7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.

  There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
  notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
  tree and other stuff.  Consequently I have a resolution which Will
  forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
  mail.

  The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
  crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches.  These were merged
  into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
  little I can do about this.  The problem is caused because these
  patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
  tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
  each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
  which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
  dependent patches.  I've no idea what's going on there or how to
  resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
  this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
  reverting Ard's patches.

  Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
  build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
  and since it's a new feature anyway.  However, if by -rc1 the
  dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"

I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,
but there may be some differences.  Any errors are likely mine.  Let's
see how the crypto issues work out..

<title>KVM: ARM: Add support for Cortex-A7</title>

This patch adds support for running Cortex-A7 guests on Cortex-A7 hosts.

As Cortex-A7 is architecturally compatible with A15, this patch is largely just
generalising existing code. Areas where 'implementation defined' behaviour
is identical for A7 and A15 is moved to allow it to be used by both cores.

The check to ensure that coprocessor register tables are sorted correctly is
also moved in to 'common' code to avoid each new cpu doing its own check
(and possibly forgetting to do so!)

This patch implements the functions required for the perf registers API,
allowing the perf tool to interface kernel register dumps with libunwind
in order to provide userspace backtracing.

This patch adds support for configuring the event stream frequency
and enabling it.

It also adds the hwcaps definitions to the user to detect this event
stream feature.
