The ptff() and clear_table() functions use the gcc extension "variable
length arrays in structures" (VLAIS) to define in the inline assembler
constraints the area of the clobbered memory. This extension will most
likely never be supported by LLVM/Clang.

Since currently BPF programs are compiled with LLVM, this leads to the
following compile errors:

 $ cd samples/bpf
 $ make

  be supported
        typedef struct { char _[len]; } addrtype;

To fix this do the following:

 - Convert ptff() into a macro that then uses a fixed size array
   when expanded.
 - Convert the clear_table() function and use an inline assembly
   with fixed size array in a loop.
   The runtime performance of the new version is even better than
   the old version (tested with EC12/z13 and gcc 4.8.5/6.2.1 with
   "-march=z196 -O2").

<title>s390/mm: add shadow gmap support</title>

For a nested KVM guest the outer KVM host needs to create shadow
page tables for the nested guest. This patch adds the basic support
to the guest address space (gmap) code.

For each guest address space the inner KVM host creates, the first
outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables. The address space
is identified by the ASCE loaded into the control register 1 at the
time the inner SIE instruction for the second nested KVM guest is
executed. The outer KVM host creates the shadow tables starting with
the table identified by the ASCE on a on-demand basis. The outer KVM
host will get repeated faults for all the shadow tables needed to
run the second KVM guest.

While a shadow page table for the second KVM guest is active the access
to the origin region, segment and page tables needs to be restricted
for the first KVM guest. For region and segment and page tables the first
KVM guest may read the memory, but write attempt has to lead to an
unshadow.  This is done using the page invalid and read-only bits in the
page table of the first KVM guest. If the first guest re-accesses one of
the origin pages of a shadow, it gets a fault and the affected parts of
the shadow page table hierarchy needs to be removed again.

PGSTE tables don't have to be shadowed, as all interpretation assist can't
deal with the invalid bits in the shadow pte being set differently than
the original ones provided by the first KVM guest.

Many bug fixes and improvements by David Hildenbrand.

<title>s390/mm: fix asce_bits handling with dynamic pagetable levels</title>

There is a race with multi-threaded applications between context switch and
pagetable upgrade. In switch_mm() a new user_asce is built from mm-&gt;pgd and
mm-&gt;context.asce_bits, w/o holding any locks. A concurrent mmap with a
pagetable upgrade on another thread in crst_table_upgrade() could already
have set new asce_bits, but not yet the new mm-&gt;pgd. This would result in a
corrupt user_asce in switch_mm(), and eventually in a kernel panic from a
translation exception.

Fix this by storing the complete asce instead of just the asce_bits, which
can then be read atomically from switch_mm(), so that it either sees the
old value or the new value, but no mixture. Both cases are OK. Having the
old value would result in a page fault on access to the higher level memory,
but the fault handler would see the new mm-&gt;pgd, if it was a valid access
after the mmap on the other thread has completed. So as worst-case scenario
we would have a page fault loop for the racing thread until the next time
slice.

Also remove dead code and simplify the upgrade/downgrade path, there are no
upgrades from 2 levels, and only downgrades from 3 levels for compat tasks.
There are also no concurrent upgrades, because the mmap_sem is held with
down_write() in do_mmap, so the flush and table checks during upgrade can
be removed.

<content type='text'>
The fork of a process with four page table levels is broken since
git commit 6252d702c5311ce9 "[S390] dynamic page tables."

All new mm contexts are created with three page table levels and
an asce limit of 4TB. If the parent has four levels dup_mmap will
add vmas to the new context which are outside of the asce limit.
The subsequent call to copy_page_range will walk the three level
page table structure of the new process with non-zero pgd and pud
indexes. This leads to memory clobbers as the pgd_index *and* the
pud_index is added to the mm-&gt;pgd pointer without a pgd_deref
in between.

The init_new_context() function is selecting the number of page
table levels for a new context. The function is used by mm_init()
which in turn is called by dup_mm() and mm_alloc(). These two are
used by fork() and exec(). The init_new_context() function can
distinguish the two cases by looking at mm-&gt;context.asce_limit,
for fork() the mm struct has been copied and the number of page
table levels may not change. For exec() the mm_alloc() function
set the new mm structure to zero, in this case a three-level page
table is created as the temporary stack space is located at
STACK_TOP_MAX = 4TB.

This fixes CVE-2016-2143.

Replacing a 2K page table with a 4K page table while a VMA is active
for the affected memory region is fundamentally broken. Rip out the
page table reallocation code and replace it with a simple system
control 'vm.allocate_pgste'. If the system control is set the page
tables for all processes are allocated as full 4K pages, even for
processes that do not need it.

Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and
effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no
distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel.

The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before
anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel
shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e5826 ("s390: add 31 bit warning
message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit
code. We didn't get any response.

Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's
remove the code.
Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
 "3.19 changes for KVM:

   - spring cleaning: removed support for IA64, and for hardware-
     assisted virtualization on the PPC970

   - ARM, PPC, s390 all had only small fixes

  For x86:
   - small performance improvements (though only on weird guests)
   - usual round of hardware-compliancy fixes from Nadav
   - APICv fixes
   - XSAVES support for hosts and guests.  XSAVES hosts were broken
     because the (non-KVM) XSAVES patches inadvertently changed the KVM
     userspace ABI whenever XSAVES was enabled; hence, this part is
     going to stable.  Guest support is just a matter of exposing the
     feature and CPUID leaves support"

<title>KVM: S390: Create helper function get_guest_storage_key</title>

Define get_guest_storage_key which can be used to get the value of a guest
storage key. This compliments the functionality provided by the helper function
set_guest_storage_key. Both functions are needed for live migration of s390
guests that use storage keys.
