      KVM: svm: add support for RDTSCP · 46896c73
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      
      
      RDTSCP was never supported for AMD CPUs, which nobody noticed because
      Linux does not use it.  But exactly the fact that Linux does not
      use it makes the implementation very simple; we can freely trash
      MSR_TSC_AUX while running the guest.

      kvm/x86: Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controller · 5c919412
      Andrey Smetanin authored
      
      
      SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension,
      which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU
       - 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to
         trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI
         semantics
       - a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message
         slots
       - an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT
         event flag areas
      
      The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the
      corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area.
      The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by
      explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM)
      MSR.
      
      The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications
      via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each
      configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT
      mapping.
      
      Changes v4:
      * added activation of SynIC by vcpu KVM_ENABLE_CAP
      * added per SynIC active flag
      * added deactivation of APICv upon SynIC activation
      
      Changes v3:
      * added KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC and KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_HV_SINT notes into
      docs
      
      Changes v2:
      * do not use posted interrupts for Hyper-V SynIC AutoEOI vectors
      * add Hyper-V SynIC vectors into EOI exit bitmap
      * Hyper-V SyniIC SINT msr write logic simplified

      kvm/x86: per-vcpu apicv deactivation support · d62caabb
      Andrey Smetanin authored
      
      
      The decision on whether to use hardware APIC virtualization used to be
      taken globally, based on the availability of the feature in the CPU
      and the value of a module parameter.
      
      However, under certain circumstances we want to control it on per-vcpu
      basis.  In particular, when the userspace activates HyperV synthetic
      interrupt controller (SynIC), APICv has to be disabled as it's
      incompatible with SynIC auto-EOI behavior.
      
      To achieve that, introduce 'apicv_active' flag on struct
      kvm_vcpu_arch, and kvm_vcpu_deactivate_apicv() function to turn APICv
      off.  The flag is initialized based on the module parameter and CPU
      capability, and consulted whenever an APICv-specific action is
      performed.

      kvm/x86: split ioapic-handled and EOI exit bitmaps · 6308630b
      Andrey Smetanin authored
      
      
      The function to determine if the vector is handled by ioapic used to
      rely on the fact that only ioapic-handled vectors were set up to
      cause vmexits when virtual apic was in use.
      
      We're going to break this assumption when introducing Hyper-V
      synthetic interrupts: they may need to cause vmexits too.
      
      To achieve that, introduce a new bitmap dedicated specifically for
      ioapic-handled vectors, and populate EOI exit bitmap from it for now.

      KVM: nVMX: remove incorrect vpid check in nested invvpid emulation · b2467e74
      Haozhong Zhang authored
      
      
      This patch removes the vpid check when emulating nested invvpid
      instruction of type all-contexts invalidation. The existing code is
      incorrect because:
       (1) According to Intel SDM Vol 3, Section "INVVPID - Invalidate
           Translations Based on VPID", invvpid instruction does not check
           vpid in the invvpid descriptor when its type is all-contexts
           invalidation.
       (2) According to the same document, invvpid of type all-contexts
           invalidation does not require there is an active VMCS, so/and
           get_vmcs12() in the existing code may result in a NULL-pointer
           dereference. In practice, it can crash both KVM itself and L1
           hypervisors that use invvpid (e.g. Xen).

      Christoffer Dall authored
      
      
      We were incorrectly removing the active state from the physical
      distributor on the timer interrupt when the timer output level was
      deasserted.  We shouldn't be doing this without considering the virtual
      interrupt's active state, because the architecture requires that when an
      LR has the HW bit set and the pending or active bits set, then the
      physical interrupt must also have the corresponding bits set.
      
      This addresses an issue where we have been observing an inconsistency
      between the LR state and the physical distributor state where the LR
      state was active and the physical distributor was not active, which
      shouldn't happen.

      arm64: KVM: Fix AArch32 to AArch64 register mapping · c0f09634
      Marc Zyngier authored
      
      
      When running a 32bit guest under a 64bit hypervisor, the ARMv8
      architecture defines a mapping of the 32bit registers in the 64bit
      space. This includes banked registers that are being demultiplexed
      over the 64bit ones.
      
      On exceptions caused by an operation involving a 32bit register, the
      HW exposes the register number in the ESR_EL2 register. It was so
      far understood that SW had to distinguish between AArch32 and AArch64
      accesses (based on the current AArch32 mode and register number).
      
      It turns out that I misinterpreted the ARM ARM, and the clue is in
      D1.20.1: "For some exceptions, the exception syndrome given in the
      ESR_ELx identifies one or more register numbers from the issued
      instruction that generated the exception. Where the exception is
      taken from an Exception level using AArch32 these register numbers
      give the AArch64 view of the register."
      
      Which means that the HW is already giving us the translated version,
      and that we shouldn't try to interpret it at all (for example, doing
      an MMIO operation from the IRQ mode using the LR register leads to
      very unexpected behaviours).
      
      The fix is thus not to perform a call to vcpu_reg32() at all from
      vcpu_reg(), and use whatever register number is supplied directly.
      The only case we need to find out about the mapping is when we
      actively generate a register access, which only occurs when injecting
      a fault in a guest.

      ARM/arm64: KVM: test properly for a PTE's uncachedness · e6fab544
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      
      
      The open coded tests for checking whether a PTE maps a page as
      uncached use a flawed '(pte_val(xxx) & CONST) != CONST' pattern,
      which is not guaranteed to work since the type of a mapping is
      not a set of mutually exclusive bits
      
      For HYP mappings, the type is an index into the MAIR table (i.e, the
      index itself does not contain any information whatsoever about the
      type of the mapping), and for stage-2 mappings it is a bit field where
      normal memory and device types are defined as follows:
      
          #define MT_S2_NORMAL            0xf
          #define MT_S2_DEVICE_nGnRE      0x1
      
      I.e., masking *and* comparing with the latter matches on the former,
      and we have been getting lucky merely because the S2 device mappings
      also have the PTE_UXN bit set, or we would misidentify memory mappings
      as device mappings.
      
      Since the unmap_range() code path (which contains one instance of the
      flawed test) is used both for HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings, and
      considering the difference between the two, it is non-trivial to fix
      this by rewriting the tests in place, as it would involve passing
      down the type of mapping through all the functions.
      
      However, since HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings both deal with host
      physical addresses, we can simply check whether the mapping is backed
      by memory that is managed by the host kernel, and only perform the
      D-cache maintenance if this is the case.

      slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API · 865762a8
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      
      
      Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
      
      Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'.  This
      is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
      
      A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
      specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
      
      The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
      run without local IRQs disabled.  With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
      the entire c->freelist or page->freelist.  To avoid overshooting we would
      stop processing at a slab-page boundary.  Else we always end up returning
      some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
      
      To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
      kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
      objects with this API change.

      slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk · 03374518
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      
      
      Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
      kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.
      
      If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
      to not add any asm code.
      
      Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
      object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context.  Thus,
      we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
      match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

      slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk · 03ec0ed5
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      
      
      The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
      be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
      memcg_kmem_get_cache().
      
      This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.
      
      As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
      to handle an array of objects.
      
      A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
      same type (size_t) as size argument.  This helps the compiler to easier
      realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
      evaluates to nothing.  Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
      compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow
      
      In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
      slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
      object directly.

      slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist · d0ecd894
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
      "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.
      
      The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
      extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
      the (locked) cmpxchg_double.
      
      To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
      freelist.  The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:
      
       1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
          thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.
      
       2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
          each with a separate head pointer.
      
       3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.
      
      Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
      freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization.  The
      freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
      synchronization needed.  The detached freelist is allocated on the
      stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk.  Thus, the freelist
      head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.
      
      All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
      Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
      that belong to the same slab-page.  The bulk free array is scanned is
      a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.
      
      Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().
      
      Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
      only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

      SLUB fastpath single object quick reuse: 47 cycles(tsc) 11.931 ns
      
      To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with
      "slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).

      Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
      larger bulking.  This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
      having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
      can achieve similar performance.

      slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists · 81084651
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      
      
      Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
      of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
      (cnt).
      
      Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object.  This allow
      compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
      slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
      object free.
      
      This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
      slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
      __slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
      
      Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
      freelists.  When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
      objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
      
      These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
      freelists it introduces and constructs.
      
      Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
      when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

      parisc: Add Huge Page and HUGETLBFS support · 736d2169
      Helge Deller authored
      
      
      This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
      pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
      A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
      huge pages.
      
      The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
      PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
      variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.
      
      Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
      emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

      Use the 22bit instead of the 17bit branch instruction on a 64bit kernel
      to reach the do_syscall_trace_exit function from the gateway page.
      A huge page enabled kernel may need the additional branch distance bits.

      parisc: Increase initial kernel mapping to 32MB on 64bit kernel · 332b42e4
      Helge Deller authored
      
      
      For the 64bit kernel the initially 16 MB kernel memory might become too
      small if you build a kernel with many modules built-in and with kernel
      text and data areas mapped on huge pages.
      
      This patch increases the initial mapping to 32MB for 64bit kernels and
      keeps 16MB for 32bit kernels.

      parisc: Initialize the fault vector earlier in the boot process. · 4182d0cd
      Helge Deller authored
      
      
      A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned.  Furthermore the
      checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being
      calculated and written at runtime.
      
      Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K
      page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the
      kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write).
      But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this
      makes things harder.
      So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write
      the checksum before we map the page read-only.

      parisc: Add defines for Huge page support · 1f25ad26
      Helge Deller authored
      
      
      Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which
      is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and
      on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages.
      
      Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate
      it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge
      page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support
      later on.
      
      Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page
      as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT).
