[ Upstream commit 84a6fc378471fbeaf48f8604566a5a33a3d63c18 ]

There is no need to override the default version of this function
anymore as UML now has proper _nofault memory access functions.

Doing this also fixes the fact that the implementation was incorrect as
using mincore() will incorrectly flag pages as inaccessible if they were
swapped out by the host.

<title>kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory</title>

<id>b1992c3772e69a6fd0e3fc81cd4d2820c8b6eca0</id>
<content type='text'>
Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
  $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
  $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

<title>kbuild: remove --include-dir MAKEFLAG from top Makefile</title>

<id>67d7c3023a672c2b73d19d6d23684df670fce648</id>
<content type='text'>
I added $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles in the following commits:

 - 3204a7fb98a3 ("kbuild: prefix $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles")
 - d82856395505 ("kbuild: do not require sub-make for separate output tree builds")

They were a preparation for removing --include-dir flag.

I have never thought --include-dir useful. Rather, it _is_ harmful.

For example, run the following commands:

  $ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
  $ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
  make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
    HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  Error: kernelrelease not valid - run 'make prepare' to update it
    UPD     include/config/kernel.release
  make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/linux/foo'

The first command configures the source tree for x86. The next command
tries to build ARM device trees in the separate foo/ directory - this
must stop because the directory foo/ has not been configured yet.

However, due to --include-dir=$(abs_srctree), the top Makefile includes
the wrong include/config/auto.conf from the source tree and continues
building. Kbuild traverses the directory tree, but of course it does
not work correctly. The Error message is also pointless - 'make prepare'
does not help at all for fixing the issue.

This commit fixes more arch Makefile, and finally removes --include-dir
from the top Makefile.

There are more breakages under drivers/, but I do not volunteer to fix
them all. I just moved --include-dir to drivers/Makefile.

With this commit, the second command will stop with a sensible message.

  $ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
  $ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
  make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
    SYNC    include/config/auto.conf.cmd
  ***
  *** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=arm mrproper'
  *** in /tmp/linux
  ***
  make[2]: *** [../Makefile:646: outputmakefile] Error 1
  /tmp/linux/Makefile:770: include/config/auto.conf.cmd: No such file or directory
  make[1]: *** [/tmp/linux/Makefile:793: include/config/auto.conf.cmd] Error 2
  make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
  make: *** [Makefile:226: __sub-make] Error 2

1. Reflect host cpu flags into the UML instance so they can
be used to select the correct implementations for xor, crypto, etc.

2. Reflect host cache alignment into UML instance. This is
important when running 32 bit on a 64 bit host as 32 bit by
default aligns to 32 while the actual alignment should be 64.
Ditto for some Xeons which align at 128.

<title>um: add PCI over virtio emulation driver</title>

<content type='text'>
To support testing of PCI/PCIe drivers in UML, add a PCI bus
support driver. This driver uses virtio, which in UML is really
just vhost-user, to talk to devices, and adds the devices to
the virtual PCI bus in the system.

Since virtio already allows DMA/bus mastering this really isn't
all that hard, of course we need the logic_iomem infrastructure
that was added by a previous patch.

The protocol to talk to the device is has a few fairly simple
messages for reading to/writing from config and IO spaces, and
messages for the device to send the various interrupts (INT#,
MSI/MSI-X and while suspended PME#).

Note that currently no offical virtio device ID is assigned for
this protocol, as a consequence this patch requires defining it
in the Kconfig, with a default that makes the driver refuse to
work at all.

Finally, in order to add support for MSI/MSI-X interrupts, some
small changes are needed in the UML IRQ code, it needs to have
more interrupts, changing NR_IRQS from 64 to 128 if this driver
is enabled, but not actually use them for anything so that the
generic IRQ domain/MSI infrastructure can allocate IRQ numbers.
