This adds a new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_CPU_CHAR, that gives userspace
information about the underlying machine's level of vulnerability
to the recently announced vulnerabilities CVE-2017-5715,
CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5754, and whether the machine provides
instructions to assist software to work around the vulnerabilities.
The ioctl returns two u64 words describing characteristics of the
CPU and required software behaviour respectively, plus two mask
words which indicate which bits have been filled in by the kernel,
for extensibility. The bit definitions are the same as for the
new H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall.
There is also a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_GET_CPU_CHAR, which
indicates whether the new ioctl is available.

pull-request: can-next 2018-01-16
this is a pull request for net-next/master consisting of 9 patches.
This is a series of patches, some of them initially by Franklin S Cooper
Jr, which was picked up by Faiz Abbas. Faiz Abbas added some patches
while working on this series, I contributed one as well.
The first two patches add support to CAN device infrastructure to limit
the bitrate of a CAN adapter if the used CAN-transceiver has a certain
maximum bitrate.
The remaining patches improve the m_can driver. They add support for
bitrate limiting to the driver, clean up the driver and add support for
runtime PM.

Fixes:
1. The use of "exceeds" when the opposite of exceeds, falls below,
was meant.
2. Properly speaking, a table can not exceed a threshold.
It emphasizes the important point, which is that it is the userspace
daemon's responsibility to check for low free space when a device
is resumed, since it won't get a special event indicating low free
space in that situation.

This device mapper "unstriped" target remaps and unstripes I/O so it
is issued solely on a single drive in a HW RAID0 or dm-striped target.
In a 4 drive HW RAID0 the striped target exposes 1/4th of the LBA range
as a virtual drive. Each I/O to that virtual drive will only be issued
to the 1 drive that was selected of the 4 drives in the HW RAID0.
This unstriped target is most useful for Intel NVMe drives that have
multiple cores but that do not have firmware control to pin separate LBA
ranges to each discrete cpu core.

pull-request: bpf-next 2018-01-17
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Add initial BPF map offloading for nfp driver. Currently only
programs were supported so far w/o being able to access maps.
Offloaded programs are right now only allowed to perform map
lookups, and control path is responsible for populating the
maps. BPF core infrastructure along with nfp implementation is
provided, from Jakub.
2) Various follow-ups to Josef's BPF error injections. More
specifically that includes: properly check whether the error
injectable event is on function entry or not, remove the percpu
bpf_kprobe_override and rather compare instruction pointer
with original one, separate error-injection from kprobes since
it's not limited to it, add injectable error types in order to
specify what is the expected type of failure, and last but not
least also support the kernel's fault injection framework, all
from Masami.
3) Various misc improvements and cleanups to the libbpf Makefile.
That is, fix permissions when installing BPF header files, remove
unused variables and functions, and also install the libbpf.h
header, from Jesper.
4) When offloading to nfp JIT and the BPF insn is unsupported in the
JIT, then reject right at verification time. Also fix libbpf with
regards to ELF section name matching by properly treating the
program type as prefix. Both from Quentin.
5) Add -DPACKAGE to bpftool when including bfd.h for the disassembler.
This is needed, for example, when building libfd from source as
bpftool doesn't supply a config.h for bfd.h. Fix from Jiong.
6) xdp_convert_ctx_access() is simplified since it doesn't need to
set target size during verification, from Jesper.
7) Let bpftool properly recognize BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_DEVICE
program types, from Roman.
8) Various functions in BPF cpumap were not declared static, from Wei.
9) Fix a double semicolon in BPF samples, from Luis.

Currently, cgroups v2 documentation contains only a generic remark that
"How resource consumption in the root cgroup is governed is up to each
controller", which isn't really telling users much, who need to dig in the
code and / or commit messages to learn the exact behavior.
In cgroups v1 at least the blkio controller had its operation with respect
to competition between child threads and child cgroups documented in
blkio-controller.txt, with references to cfq-iosched.txt.
Also, cgroups v2 documentation describes v1 behavior of both cpu and
blkio controllers in an "Issues with v1" section.
Let's document this behavior also for cgroups v2 to make life easier for
users.

This part of Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) patch series focuses on KVM
changes required to create and manage SEV guests.
SEV is an extension to the AMD-V architecture which supports running encrypted
virtual machine (VMs) under the control of a hypervisor. Encrypted VMs have their
pages (code and data) secured such that only the guest itself has access to
unencrypted version. Each encrypted VM is associated with a unique encryption key;
if its data is accessed to a different entity using a different key the encrypted
guest's data will be incorrectly decrypted, leading to unintelligible data.
This security model ensures that hypervisor will no longer able to inspect or
alter any guest code or data.
The key management of this feature is handled by a separate processor known as
the AMD Secure Processor (AMD-SP) which is present on AMD SOCs. The SEV Key
Management Specification (see below) provides a set of commands which can be
used by hypervisor to load virtual machine keys through the AMD-SP driver.
The patch series adds a new ioctl in KVM driver (KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP). The
ioctl will be used by qemu to issue SEV guest-specific commands defined in Key
Management Specification.

Remote TLB flush does a busy wait which is fine in bare-metal
scenario. But with-in the guest, the vcpus might have been pre-empted or
blocked. In this scenario, the initator vcpu would end up busy-waiting
for a long amount of time; it also consumes CPU unnecessarily to wake
up the target of the shootdown.
This patch set adds support for KVM's new paravirtualized TLB flush;
remote TLB flush does not wait for vcpus that are sleeping, instead
KVM will flush the TLB as soon as the vCPU starts running again.
The improvement is clearly visible when the host is overcommitted; in this
case, the PV TLB flush (in addition to avoiding the wait on the main CPU)
prevents preempted vCPUs from stealing precious execution time from the
running ones.
Testing on a Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 2 sockets, 32 cores, 64 threads,
so 64 pCPUs, and each VM is 64 vCPUs.
