Remove the command payloads that do not have an associated libnvdimm
ioctl. I.e. remove the payloads that would only ever be carried in the
ND_CMD_CALL envelope. This prevents userspace from growing unnecessary
dependencies on this kernel header when userspace already has everything
it needs to craft and send these commands.

There's some stuff still up in the air, let's not get stuck with a
subpar ABI. I'll follow up with something better for 4.14.

Hyper-V identifies vCPUs by Virtual Processor Index, which can be
queried via HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX msr.  It is defined by the spec as a
sequential number which can't exceed the maximum number of vCPUs per VM.
APIC ids can be sparse and thus aren't a valid replacement for VP
indices.

Current KVM uses its internal vcpu index as VP_INDEX.  However, to make
it predictable and persistent across VM migrations, the userspace has to
control the value of VP_INDEX.

This patch achieves that, by storing vp_index explicitly on vcpu, and
allowing HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX to be set from the host side.  For
compatibility it's initialized to KVM vcpu index.  Also a few variables
are renamed to make clear distinction betweed this Hyper-V vp_index and
KVM vcpu_id (== APIC id).  Besides, a new capability,
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_VP_INDEX, is added to allow the userspace to skip
attempting msr writes where unsupported, to avoid spamming error logs.

<content type='text'>
There is a flaw in the Hyper-V SynIC implementation in KVM: when message
page or event flags page is enabled by setting the corresponding msr,
KVM zeroes it out.  This is problematic because on migration the
corresponding MSRs are loaded on the destination, so the content of
those pages is lost.

This went unnoticed so far because the only user of those pages was
in-KVM hyperv synic timers, which could continue working despite that
zeroing.

Newer QEMU uses those pages for Hyper-V VMBus implementation, and
zeroing them breaks the migration.

Besides, in newer QEMU the content of those pages is fully managed by
QEMU, so zeroing them is undesirable even when writing the MSRs from the
guest side.

To support this new scheme, introduce a new capability,
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2, which, when enabled, makes sure that the synic
pages aren't zeroed out in KVM.

sem_ctime is initialized to the semget() time and then updated at every
semctl() that changes the array.

Thus it does not represent the time of the last change.

Especially, semop() calls are only stored in sem_otime, not in
sem_ctime.

This is already described in ipc/sem.c, I just overlooked that there is
a comment in include/linux/sem.h and man semctl(2) as well.

So: Correct wrong comments.

With current epoll architecture target files are addressed with
file_struct and file descriptor number, where the last is not unique.
Moreover files can be transferred from another process via unix socket,
added into queue and closed then so we won't find this descriptor in the
task fdinfo list.

Thus to checkpoint and restore such processes CRIU needs to find out
where exactly the target file is present to add it into epoll queue.
For this sake one can use kcmp call where some particular target file
from the queue is compared with arbitrary file passed as an argument.

Because epoll target files can have same file descriptor number but
different file_struct a caller should explicitly specify the offset
within.

To test if some particular file is matching entry inside epoll one have
to

 - fill kcmp_epoll_slot structure with epoll file descriptor,
   target file number and target file offset (in case if only
   one target is present then it should be 0)

 - call kcmp as kcmp(pid1, pid2, KCMP_EPOLL_TFD, fd, &amp;kcmp_epoll_slot)
    - the kernel fetch file pointer matching file descriptor @fd of pid1
    - lookups for file struct in epoll queue of pid2 and returns traditional
      0,1,2 result for sorting purpose

<title>KVM: s390: Fix KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS ioctl definition</title>

In case of KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS, the kernel does not only read struct
kvm_s390_cmma_log passed from userspace (which constitutes _IOC_WRITE),
it also writes back a return value (which constitutes _IOC_READ) making
this an _IOWR ioctl instead of _IOW.
