[ Upstream commit 15e9e35cd1dec2bc138464de6bf8ef828df19235 ]

MIPS defines two kvm types:

 #define KVM_VM_MIPS_TE          0
 #define KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ          1

In Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst it is said that "You probably want to
use 0 as machine type", which implies that type 0 be the "automatic" or
"default" type. And, in user-space libvirt use the null-machine (with
type 0) to detect the kvm capability, which returns "KVM not supported"
on a VZ platform.

I try to fix it in QEMU but it is ugly:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-08/msg05629.html

And Thomas Huth suggests me to change the definition of kvm type:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-09/msg03281.html

So I define like this:

 #define KVM_VM_MIPS_AUTO        0
 #define KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ          1
 #define KVM_VM_MIPS_TE          2

Since VZ and TE cannot co-exists, using type 0 on a TE platform will
still return success (so old user-space tools have no problems on new
kernels); the advantage is that using type 0 on a VZ platform will not
return failure. So, the only problem is "new user-space tools use type
2 on old kernels", but if we treat this as a kernel bug, we can backport
this patch to old stable kernels.

<title>KVM: Pass MMU notifier range flags to kvm_unmap_hva_range()</title>

commit fdfe7cbd58806522e799e2a50a15aee7f2cbb7b6 upstream.

The 'flags' field of 'struct mmu_notifier_range' is used to indicate
whether invalidate_range_{start,end}() are permitted to block. In the
case of kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), this field is not
forwarded on to the architecture-specific implementation of
kvm_unmap_hva_range() and therefore the backend cannot sensibly decide
whether or not to block.

Add an extra 'flags' parameter to kvm_unmap_hva_range() so that
architectures are aware as to whether or not they are permitted to block.

<title>KVM: s390: Do not report unusabled IDs via KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID</title>

commit a86cb413f4bf273a9d341a3ab2c2ca44e12eb317 upstream.

KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID is currently always reporting KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID on all
architectures. However, on s390x, the amount of usable CPUs is determined
during runtime - it is depending on the features of the machine the code
is running on. Since we are using the vcpu_id as an index into the SCA
structures that are defined by the hardware (see e.g. the sca_add_vcpu()
function), it is not only the amount of CPUs that is limited by the hard-
ware, but also the range of IDs that we can use.
Thus KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID must be determined during runtime on s390x, too.
So the handling of KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID has to be moved from the common
code into the architecture specific code, and on s390x we have to return
the same value here as for KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS.
This problem has been discovered with the kvm_create_max_vcpus selftest.
With this change applied, the selftest now passes on s390x, too.

Since swait basically implemented exclusive waits only, make sure
the API reflects that.

  $ git grep -l -e "\&lt;swake_up\&gt;"
		-e "\&lt;swait_event[^ (]*"
		-e "\&lt;prepare_to_swait\&gt;" | while read file;
    do

	       -e 's/\&lt;prepare_to_swait\&gt;/&amp;_exclusive/g' $file;
    done

With a few manual touch-ups.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For
now, this is just documenting that the function returns
a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances
are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

After the vcpu_load/vcpu_put pushdown, the handling of asynchronous VCPU
ioctl is already much clearer in that it is obvious that they bypass
vcpu_load and vcpu_put.

However, it is still not perfect in that the different state of the VCPU
mutex is still hidden in the caller.  Separate those ioctls into a new
function kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctl that returns -ENOIOCTLCMD for more
"traditional" synchronous ioctls.

<title>KVM: Move vcpu_load to arch-specific kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl</title>

Move the calls to vcpu_load() and vcpu_put() in to the architecture
specific implementations of kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl() which dispatches
further architecture-specific ioctls on to other functions.

Some architectures support asynchronous vcpu ioctls which cannot call
vcpu_load() or take the vcpu-&gt;mutex, because that would prevent
concurrent execution with a running VCPU, which is the intended purpose
of these ioctls, for example because they inject interrupts.

We repeat the separate checks for these specifics in the architecture
code for MIPS, S390 and PPC, and avoid taking the vcpu-&gt;mutex and
calling vcpu_load for these ioctls.
