By exporting the ability to map user address and inserting PTEs
representing their backing pages into the GTT, we can exploit UMA in order
to utilize normal application data as a texture source or even as a
render target (depending upon the capabilities of the chipset). This has
a number of uses, with zero-copy downloads to the GPU and efficient
readback making the intermixed streaming of CPU and GPU operations
fairly efficient. This ability has many widespread implications from
faster rendering of client-side software rasterisers (chromium),
mitigation of stalls due to read back (firefox) and to faster pipelining
of texture data (such as pixel buffer objects in GL or data blobs in CL).
v2: Compile with CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER
v3: We can sleep while performing invalidate-range, which we can utilise
to drop our page references prior to the kernel manipulating the vma
(for either discard or cloning) and so protect normal users.
v4: Only run the invalidate notifier if the range intercepts the bo.
v5: Prevent userspace from attempting to GTT mmap non-page aligned buffers
v6: Recheck after reacquire mutex for lost mmu.
v7: Fix implicit padding of ioctl struct by rounding to next 64bit boundary.
v8: Fix rebasing error after forwarding porting the back port.
v9: Limit the userptr to page aligned entries. We now expect userspace
to handle all the offset-in-page adjustments itself.
v10: Prevent vma from being copied across fork to avoid issues with cow.
v11: Drop vma behaviour changes -- locking is nigh on impossible.
Use a worker to load user pages to avoid lock inversions.
v12: Use get_task_mm()/mmput() for correct refcounting of mm.
v13: Use a worker to release the mmu_notifier to avoid lock inversion
v14: Decouple mmu_notifier from struct_mutex using a custom mmu_notifer
with its own locking and tree of objects for each mm/mmu_notifier.
v15: Prevent overlapping userptr objects, and invalidate all objects
within the mmu_notifier range
v16: Fix a typo for iterating over multiple objects in the range and
rearrange error path to destroy the mmu_notifier locklessly.
Also close a race between invalidate_range and the get_pages_worker.
v17: Close a race between get_pages_worker/invalidate_range and fresh
allocations of the same userptr range - and notice that
struct_mutex was presumed to be held when during creation it wasn't.
v18: Sigh. Fix the refactor of st_set_pages() to allocate enough memory
for the struct sg_table and to clear it before reporting an error.
v19: Always error out on read-only userptr requests as we don't have the
hardware infrastructure to support them at the moment.
v20: Refuse to implement read-only support until we have the required
infrastructure - but reserve the bit in flags for future use.
v21: use_mm() is not required for get_user_pages(). It is only meant to
be used to fix up the kernel thread's current->mm for use with
copy_user().
v22: Use sg_alloc_table_from_pages for that chunky feeling
v23: Export a function for sanity checking dma-buf rather than encode
userptr details elsewhere, and clean up comments based on
suggestions by Bradley.

GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.
This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
recovery.
When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in
gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
lock, so it is cached for next time.
However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.
In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared
lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
grabbed by the freeze code instead.
The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

Lazy storage key handling
-------------------------
Linux does not use the ACC and F bits of the storage key. Newer Linux
versions also do not use the storage keys for dirty and reference
tracking. We can optimize the guest handling for those guests for faults
as well as page-in and page-out by simply not caring about the guest
visible storage key. We trap guest storage key instruction to enable
those keys only on demand.
Migration bitmap
Until now s390 never provided a proper dirty bitmap. Let's provide a
proper migration bitmap for s390. We also change the user dirty tracking
to a fault based mechanism. This makes the host completely independent
from the storage keys. Long term this will allow us to back guest memory
with large pages.
per-VM device attributes
------------------------
To avoid the introduction of new ioctls, let's provide the
attribute semanantic also on the VM-"device".
Userspace controlled CMMA
-------------------------
The CMMA assist is changed from "always on" to "on if requested" via
per-VM device attributes. In addition a callback to reset all usage
states is provided.
Proper guest DAT handling for intercepts
----------------------------------------
While instructions handled by SIE take care of all addressing aspects,
KVM/s390 currently does not care about guest address translation of
intercepts. This worked out fine, because
- the s390 Linux kernel has a 1:1 mapping between kernel virtual<->real
for all pages up to memory size
- intercepts happen only for a small amount of cases
- all of these intercepts happen to be in the kernel text for current
distros
Of course we need to be better for other intercepts, kernel modules etc.
We provide the infrastructure and rework all in-kernel intercepts to work
on logical addresses (paging etc) instead of real ones. The code has
been running internally for several months now, so it is time for going
public.
GDB support
-----------
We provide breakpoints, single stepping and watchpoints.
Fixes/Cleanups
--------------
- Improve program check delivery
- Factor out the handling of transactional memory on program checks
- Use the existing define __LC_PGM_TDB
- Several cleanups in the lowcore structure
- Documentation
