<content type='text'>
Unifying the asm-generic headers across 32-bit and 64-bit architectures
based on the compiler provided macros was a good idea and appears to work
with all user space, but it caused a regression when building old kernels
on systems that have the new headers installed in /usr/include, as this
combination trips an inconsistency in the kernel's own tools/include
headers that are a mix of userspace and kernel-internal headers.

This affects kernel builds on arm64, riscv64 and loongarch64 systems that
might end up using the "#define __BITS_PER_LONG 32" default from the old
tools headers. Backporting the commit into stable kernels would address
this, but it would still break building kernels without that backport,
and waste time for developers trying to understand the problem.

arm64 build machines are rather common, and on riscv64 this can also
happen in practice, but loongarch64 is probably new enough to not
be used much for building old kernels, so only revert the bits
for arm64 and riscv.

Now we specify the minimal version of GCC as 5.1 and Clang/LLVM as 11.0.0
in Documentation/process/changes.rst, __CHAR_BIT__ and __SIZEOF_LONG__ are
usable, it is probably fine to unify the definition of __BITS_PER_LONG as
(__CHAR_BIT__ * __SIZEOF_LONG__) in asm-generic uapi bitsperlong.h.

In order to keep safe and avoid regression, only unify uapi bitsperlong.h
for some archs such as arm64, riscv and loongarch which are using newer
toolchains that have the definitions of __CHAR_BIT__ and __SIZEOF_LONG__.

<id>0e5c9a9d6548e9b178d4696c696ae4a21c39ae58</id>
<content type='text'>
When returning to userspace to handle a SMCCC call, we consistently
set PC to point to the instruction immediately after the HVC/SMC.

However, should userspace need to know the exact address of the
trapping instruction, it needs to know about the *size* of that
instruction. For AArch64, this is pretty easy. For AArch32, this
is a bit more funky, as Thumb has 16bit encodings for both HVC
and SMC.

Expose this to userspace with a new flag that directly derives
from ESR_EL2.IL. Also update the documentation to reflect the PC
state at the point of exit.

Finally, this fixes a small buglet where the hypercall.{args,ret}
fields would not be cleared on exit, and could contain some
random junk.

When returning to userspace to handle a SMCCC call, we consistently
set PC to point to the instruction immediately after the HVC/SMC.

However, should userspace need to know the exact address of the
trapping instruction, it needs to know about the *size* of that
instruction. For AArch64, this is pretty easy. For AArch32, this
is a bit more funky, as Thumb has 16bit encodings for both HVC
and SMC.

Expose this to userspace with a new flag that directly derives
from ESR_EL2.IL. Also update the documentation to reflect the PC
state at the point of exit.

Finally, this fixes a small buglet where the hypercall.{args,ret}
fields would not be cleared on exit, and could contain some
random junk.

As the SMCCC (and related specifications) march towards an 'everything
and the kitchen sink' interface for interacting with a system it becomes
less likely that KVM will support every related feature. We could do
better by letting userspace have a crack at it instead.

Allow userspace to define an 'SMCCC filter' that applies to both HVCs
and SMCs initiated by the guest. Supporting both conduits with this
interface is important for a couple of reasons. Guest SMC usage is table
stakes for a nested guest, as HVCs are always taken to the virtual EL2.
Additionally, guests may want to interact with a service on the secure
side which can now be proxied by userspace.
