<content type='text'>
Calls to mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() were replaced by calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() and are now bracketed by calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()/end()

Remove now useless invalidate_page callback.

Changed since v1 (Linus Torvalds)
    - remove now useless kvm_arch_mmu_notifier_invalidate_page()

Nixiaoming pointed out that there is a memory leak in
kvm_vm_ioctl_create_spapr_tce() if the call to anon_inode_getfd()
fails; the memory allocated for the kvmppc_spapr_tce_table struct
is not freed, and nor are the pages allocated for the iommu
tables.  In addition, we have already incremented the process's
count of locked memory pages, and this doesn't get restored on
error.

David Hildenbrand pointed out that there is a race in that the
function checks early on that there is not already an entry in the
stt-&gt;iommu_tables list with the same LIOBN, but an entry with the
same LIOBN could get added between then and when the new entry is
added to the list.

This fixes all three problems.  To simplify things, we now call
anon_inode_getfd() before placing the new entry in the list.  The
check for an existing entry is done while holding the kvm-&gt;lock
mutex, immediately before adding the new entry to the list.
Finally, on failure we now call kvmppc_account_memlimit to
decrement the process's count of locked memory pages.

This adds missing memory barriers to order updates/tests of
the virtual CPPR and MFRR, thus fixing a lost IPI problem.

While at it also document all barriers in this file.

This fixes a bug causing guest IPIs to occasionally get lost.  The
symptom then is hangs or stalls in the guest.

This adds a workaround for a bug in POWER9 DD1 chips where changing
the CPPR (Current Processor Priority Register) can cause bits in the
IPB (Interrupt Pending Buffer) to get lost.  Thankfully it only
happens when manually manipulating CPPR which is quite rare.  When it
does happen it can cause interrupts to be delayed or lost.

When msgsnd is used for IPIs to other cores, msgsync must be executed by
the target to order stores performed on the source before its msgsnd
(provided the source executes the appropriate sync).

Commit 05a4a9527931 ("kernel/watchdog: split up config options") lost
the perf-based hardlockup detector's dependency on PERF_EVENTS, which
can result in broken builds with some powerpc configurations.

Restore the dependency.  Add it in for x86 too, despite x86 always
selecting PERF_EVENTS it seems reasonable to make the dependency
explicit.
