Commit 0dbc6078c0 ('x86, build, pci: Fix PCI_MSI build on !SMP')
introduced the dependency that X86_UP_APIC is only available when
PCI_MSI is false. This effectively prevents PCI_MSI support on 32bit
UP systems because it disables both APIC and IO-APIC. But APIC support
is architecturally required for PCI_MSI.
The intention of the patch was to enforce APIC support when PCI_MSI is
enabled, but failed to do so.
Remove the !PCI_MSI dependency from X86_UP_APIC and enforce
X86_UP_APIC when PCI_MSI support is enabled on 32bit UP systems.

In order to ensure that filenames are not released before the audit
subsystem is done with the strings there are a number of hacks built
into the fs and audit subsystems around getname() and putname(). To
say these hacks are "ugly" would be kind.
This patch removes the filename hackery in favor of a more
conventional reference count based approach. The diffstat below tells
most of the story; lots of audit/fs specific code is replaced with a
traditional reference count based approach that is easily understood,
even by those not familiar with the audit and/or fs subsystems.

In all likelihood there were some subtle, and perhaps not so subtle,
bugs with filename matching in audit_inode() and audit_inode_child()
for some time, however, recent changes to the audit filename code have
definitely broken the filename matching code. The breakage could
result in duplicate filenames in the audit log and other odd audit
record entries. This patch fixes the filename matching code and
restores some sanity to the filename audit records.

There are several areas in the kernel that create temporary filename
objects using the following pattern:
int func(const char *name)
{
struct filename *file = { .name = name };
...
return 0;
}
... which for the most part works okay, but it causes havoc within the
audit subsystem as the filename object does not persist beyond the
lifetime of the function. This patch converts all of these temporary
filename objects into proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
and putname() which ensure that the filename object persists until the
audit subsystem is finished with it.

This patch add a support for second version of the virtio-mmio device,
which follows OASIS "Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Version 1.0"
specification.
Main changes:
1. The control register symbolic names use the new device/driver
nomenclature rather than the old guest/host one.
2. The driver detect the device version (version 1 is the pre-OASIS
spec, version 2 is compatible with fist revision of the OASIS spec)
and drives the device accordingly.
3. New version uses direct addressing (64 bit address split into two
low/high register) instead of the guest page size based one,
and addresses each part of the queue (descriptors, available, used)
separately.
4. The device activity is now explicitly triggered by writing to the
"queue ready" register.
5. Whole 64 bit features are properly handled now (both ways).

I noticed ksm spending quite a lot of time in memcmp on a large
KVM box. The current memcmp loop is very unoptimised - byte at a
time compares with no loop unrolling. We can do much much better.
Optimise the loop in a few ways:
- Unroll the byte at a time loop
- For large (at least 32 byte) comparisons that are also 8 byte
aligned, use an unrolled modulo scheduled loop using 8 byte
loads. This is similar to our glibc memcmp.
A simple microbenchmark testing 10000000 iterations of an 8192 byte
memcmp was used to measure the performance:
baseline: 29.93 s
modified: 1.70 s
Just over 17x faster.
v2: Incorporated some suggestions from Segher:
- Use andi. instead of rdlicl.
- Convert bdnzt eq, to bdnz. It's just duplicating the earlier compare
and was a relic from a previous version.
- Don't use cr5, we have plans to use that CR field for fast local
atomics.

The callback (ppc_md.pci_probe_mode()) is used to determine if the

device-tree or hardware. On PowerNV platform, we always expect
probing PCI devices from hardware, which is PowerPC PCI core's

Currently, all non-dot symbols are being treated as function descriptors
in ABIv1. This is incorrect and is resulting in perf probe not working:

Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Error: Failed to add events.
# dmesg | tail -1
[192268.073063] Could not insert probe at _text+768432: -22
perf probe bases all kernel probes on _text and writes,
for example, "p:probe/do_fork _text+768432" to
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events. In-kernel, _text is being
considered to be a function descriptor and is resulting in the above
error.
Fix this by changing how we lookup symbol addresses on ppc64. We first
check for the dot variant of a symbol and look at the non-dot variant
only if that fails. In this manner, we avoid having to look at the
function descriptor.
While at it, also separate out how this works on ABIv2 where
we don't have dot symbols, but need to use the local entry point.

Commit 5ac6f91d changed the igb driver to expose a zero (empty) mac
address to the VF on reset rather than a random one.
However, that behavioral change also requires igbvf driver changes
which can be hard especially when we want to talk to proprietary
guest OSs.
Looking at the code previous to the commit in Linux that made igbvf
work with empty mac addresses (8d56b6d), we can see that on reset
failure the driver will try to generate a new mac address with both
the old and the new code.
Furthermore, ixgbe does send reset failure when it detects an empty
mac address (35055928c).
So I think it's safe to make igb behave the same. With this patch I
can successfully run a Windows 8.1 guest with an empty mac address
and an assigned igbvf device that has no mac address set by the host.
If anyone is aware of a guest driver that chokes on NACK returns of
VF RESET commands, please speak up.

Some drivers unfortunately cannot support software crypto, but
mac80211 currently assumes that they do.
This has the issue that if the hardware enabling fails for some
reason, the software fallback is used, which won't work. This
clearly isn't desirable, the error should be reported and the
key setting refused.
Support this in mac80211 by allowing drivers to set a new HW
flag IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL, in which case mac80211 will
only allow software fallback if the set_key() method returns 1.
The driver will also need to advertise supported cipher suites
so that mac80211 doesn't advertise any (future) software ciphers
that the driver can't actually do.
While at it, to make it easier to support this, refactor the
ieee80211_init_cipher_suites() code.
