Pull second batch of kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Four changes:

   - x86: work around two nasty cases where a benign exception occurs
     while another is being delivered.  The endless stream of exceptions
     causes an infinite loop in the processor, which not even NMIs or
     SMIs can interrupt; in the virt case, there is no possibility to
     exit to the host either.

   - x86: support for Skylake per-guest TSC rate.  Long supported by
     AMD, the patches mostly move things from there to common
     arch/x86/kvm/ code.

   - generic: remove local_irq_save/restore from the guest entry and
     exit paths when context tracking is enabled.  The patches are a few
     months old, but we discussed them again at kernel summit.  Andy
     will pick up from here and, in 4.5, try to remove it from the user
     entry/exit paths.

   - PPC: Two bug fixes, see merge commit 370289756becc for details"

Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe:
 "Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for
  (really) fast devices.  The code has been reviewed and has been
  sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough
  for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation.

  Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported.  A framework is in
  the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune
  this.  And we'll add libaio support as well soon.  Fow now, it's an
  opt-in feature for test purposes"

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't dynamically split core when already split</title>

<id>f74f2e2e26199f695ca3df94f29e9ab7cb707ea4</id>
<content type='text'>
In static micro-threading modes, the dynamic micro-threading code
is supposed to be disabled, because subcores can't make independent
decisions about what micro-threading mode to put the core in - there is
only one micro-threading mode for the whole core.  The code that
implements dynamic micro-threading checks for this, except that the
check was missed in one case.  This means that it is possible for a
subcore in static 2-way micro-threading mode to try to put the core
into 4-way micro-threading mode, which usually leads to stuck CPUs,
spinlock lockups, and other stalls in the host.

The problem was in the can_split_piggybacked_subcores() function, which
should always return false if the system is in a static micro-threading
mode.  This fixes the problem by making can_split_piggybacked_subcores()
use subcore_config_ok() for its checks, as subcore_config_ok() includes
the necessary check for the static micro-threading modes.

Credit to Gautham Shenoy for working out that the reason for the hangs
and stalls we were seeing was that we were trying to do dynamic 4-way
micro-threading while we were in static 2-way mode.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Synthesize segment fault if SLB lookup fails</title>

<id>cf29b21595b91eecce6ca69b0f92d60bca076ef0</id>
<content type='text'>
When handling a hypervisor data or instruction storage interrupt (HDSI
or HISI), we look up the SLB entry for the address being accessed in
order to translate the effective address to a virtual address which can
be looked up in the guest HPT.  This lookup can occasionally fail due
to the guest replacing an SLB entry without invalidating the evicted
SLB entry.  In this situation an ERAT (effective to real address
translation cache) entry can persist and be used by the hardware even
though there is no longer a corresponding SLB entry.

Previously we would just deliver a data or instruction storage interrupt
(DSI or ISI) to the guest in this case.  However, this is not correct
and has been observed to cause guests to crash, typically with a
data storage protection interrupt on a store to the vmemmap area.

Instead, what we do now is to synthesize a data or instruction segment
interrupt.  That should cause the guest to reload an appropriate entry
into the SLB and retry the faulting instruction.  If it still faults,
we should find an appropriate SLB entry next time and be able to handle
the fault.
