      tracing: Change event_trigger_ops func() to trigger() · fb339e53
      Tom Zanussi authored
      
      
      The name of the func() callback on event_trigger_ops is too generic
      and is easily confused with other callbacks with that name, so change
      it to something that reflects its actual purpose.
      
      In this case, the main purpose of the callback is to implement an
      event trigger, so call it trigger() instead.
      
      Also add some more documentation to event_trigger_ops describing the
      callbacks a bit better.

      tracing: Make trace_marker{,_raw} stream-like · 2972e305
      John Keeping authored
      
      
      The tracing marker files are write-only streams with no meaningful
      concept of file position.  Using stream_open() to mark them as
      stream-link indicates this and has the added advantage that a single
      file descriptor can now be used from multiple threads without contention
      thanks to clearing FMODE_ATOMIC_POS.
      
      Note that this has the potential to break existing userspace by since
      both lseek(2) and pwrite(2) will now return ESPIPE when previously lseek
      would have updated the stored offset and pwrite would have appended to
      the trace.  A survey of libtracefs and several other projects found to
      use trace_marker(_raw) [1][2][3] suggests that everyone limits
      themselves to calling write(2) and close(2) on these file descriptors so
      there is a good chance this will go unnoticed and the benefits of
      reduced overhead and lock contention seem worth the risk.

      KVM: SVM: Do not terminate SEV-ES guests on GHCB validation failure · ad5b3532
      Tom Lendacky authored
      Currently, an SEV-ES guest is terminated if the validation of the VMGEXIT
      exit code or exit parameters fails.
      
      The VMGEXIT instruction can be issued from userspace, even though
      userspace (likely) can't update the GHCB. To prevent userspace from being
      able to kill the guest, return an error through the GHCB when validation
      fails rather than terminating the guest. For cases where the GHCB can't be
      updated (e.g. the GHCB can't be mapped, etc.), just return back to the
      guest.
      
      The new error codes are documented in the lasest update to the GHCB
      specification.

      parisc: Mark cr16 CPU clocksource unstable on all SMP machines · afdb4a5b
      Helge Deller authored
      In commit c8c37359 ("parisc: Enhance detection of synchronous cr16
      clocksources") I assumed that CPUs on the same physical core are syncronous.
      While booting up the kernel on two different C8000 machines, one with a
      dual-core PA8800 and one with a dual-core PA8900 CPU, this turned out to be
      wrong. The symptom was that I saw a jump in the internal clocks printed to the
      syslog and strange overall behaviour.  On machines which have 4 cores (2
      dual-cores) the problem isn't visible, because the current logic already marked
      the cr16 clocksource unstable in this case.
      
      This patch now marks the cr16 interval timers unstable if we have more than one
      CPU in the system, and it fixes this issue.
