Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "An assortment of non-regression fixes that have accumulated since the
  start of the merge window.

   - A fix for a user triggerable oops on machines where transactional
     memory is disabled, eg. Power9 bare metal, Power8 with TM disabled
     on the command line, or all Power7 or earlier machines.

   - Three fixes for handling of PMU and power saving registers when
     running nested KVM on Power9.

   - Two fixes for bugs found while stress testing the XIVE interrupt
     controller code, also on Power9.

   - A fix to allow guests to boot under Qemu/KVM on Power9 using the
     the Hash MMU with &gt;= 1TB of memory.

   - Two fixes for bugs in the recent DMA cleanup, one of which could
     lead to checkstops.

   - And finally three fixes for the PAPR SCM nvdimm driver.

Update the hvcalls.h to include op-codes for new hcalls introduce to
manage SCM memory. Also update existing hcall definitions to reflect
current papr specification for SCM.

The removed hcall op-codes H_SCM_MEM_QUERY, H_SCM_BLOCK_CLEAR were
transient proposals and there support was never implemented by
Power-VM nor they were used anywhere in Linux kernel. Hence we don't
expect anyone to be impacted by this change.

ARCH_HAS_ZONE_DEVICE is somewhat meaningless in itself, and combined
with the long-out-of-date comment can lead to the impression than an
architecture may just enable it (since __add_pages() now "comprehends
device memory" for itself) and expect things to work.

In practice, however, ZONE_DEVICE users have little chance of
functioning correctly without __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_DEVMAP, so let's clean
that up the same way as ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL and make it the proper
dependency so the real situation is clearer.

<title>powerpc/pmu: Set pmcregs_in_use in paca when running as LPAR</title>

<id>28d2a6e6684d9851905f379816d8a4d03587ed94</id>
<content type='text'>
The ability to run nested guests under KVM means that a guest can also
act as a hypervisor for it's own nested guest. Currently
ppc_set_pmu_inuse() assumes that either FW_FEATURE_LPAR is set,
indicating a guest environment, and so sets the pmcregs_in_use flag in
the lppaca, or that it isn't set, indicating a hypervisor environment,
and so sets the pmcregs_in_use flag in the paca.

The pmcregs_in_use flag in the lppaca is used to communicate this
information to a hypervisor and so must be set in a guest environment.
The pmcregs_in_use flag in the paca is used by KVM code to determine
whether the host state of the performance monitoring unit (PMU) must
be saved and restored when running a guest.

Thus when a guest also acts as a hypervisor it must set this bit in
both places since it needs to ensure both that the real hypervisor
saves it's PMU registers when it runs (requires pmcregs_in_use flag in
lppaca), and that it saves it's own PMU registers when running a
nested guest (requires pmcregs_in_use flag in paca).

Modify ppc_set_pmu_inuse() so that the pmcregs_in_use bit is set in
both the lppaca and the paca when a guest (LPAR) is running with the
capability of running it's own guests (CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE).

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

<title>mm/nvdimm: add is_ioremap_addr and use that to check ioremap address</title>

<content type='text'>
Architectures like powerpc use different address range to map ioremap
and vmalloc range.  The memunmap() check used by the nvdimm layer was
wrongly using is_vmalloc_addr() to check for ioremap range which fails
for ppc64.  This result in ppc64 not freeing the ioremap mapping.  The
side effect of this is an unbind failure during module unload with
papr_scm nvdimm driver

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
     rather impressive:

       "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
        and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
        done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255

        After the patchset, they became:

         40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
         40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"

     There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
     it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
     locking.

     Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
     improvements are:

       "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
        total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
        with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
        after this patchset were:

        # of Threads   Before Patch      After Patch
        ------------   ------------      -----------
             2            2,618             4,193
             4            1,202             3,726
             8              802             3,622
            16              729             3,359
            32              319             2,826
            64              102             2,744"

     The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
     several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
     might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
     believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
     going forward.

   - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
     motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
     CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
     updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
     kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
     overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
     as well.

   - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
     ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
     APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
     which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
     Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
     implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
     to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
     return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.

   - A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type
     cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups
     all around the place.

   - A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra.

   - Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details"

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Improve stop_machine wait logic: replace cpu_relax_yield call in
   generic stop_machine function with a weak stop_machine_yield
   function. This is overridden on s390, which yields the current cpu to
   the neighbouring cpu after a couple of retries, instead of blindly
   giving up the cpu to the hipervisor. This significantly improves
   stop_machine performance on s390 in overcommitted scenarios.

   This includes common code changes which have been Acked by Peter
   Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner.

 - Improve jump label transformation speed: transform jump labels
   without using stop_machine.

 - Refactoring of the vfio-ccw cp handling, simplifying the code and
   avoiding unneeded allocating/copying.

 - Various vfio-ccw fixes (ccw translation, state machine).

 - Add support for vfio-ap queue interrupt control in the guest. This
   includes s390 kvm changes which have been Acked by Christian
   Borntraeger.

 - Add protected virtualization support for virtio-ccw.

 - Enforce both CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, which allows to
   remove some code which most likely isn't working at all, besides that
   s390 didn't even compile for !CONFIG_SMP.

 - Support for special flagged EP11 CPRBs for zcrypt.

 - Handle PCI devices with no support for new MIO instructions.

 - Avoid KASAN false positives in reworked stack unwinder.

 - Couple of fixes for the QDIO layer.

 - Convert s390 specific documentation to ReST format.

 - Let s390 crypto modules return -ENODEV instead of -EOPNOTSUPP if
   hardware is missing. This way our modules behave like most other
   modules and which is also what systemd's systemd-modules-load.service
   expects.

 - Replace defconfig with performance_defconfig, so there is one config
   file less to maintain.

 - Remove the SCLP call home device driver, which was never useful.

 - Cleanups all over the place.
