      ARC: Ignore ptrace SETREGSET request for synthetic register "stop_pc" · 5b242828
      Vineet Gupta authored 
      

ARCompact TRAP_S insn used for breakpoints, commits before exception is
taken (updating architectural PC). So ptregs->ret contains next-PC and
not the breakpoint PC itself. This is different from other restartable
exceptions such as TLB Miss where ptregs->ret has exact faulting PC.
gdb needs to know exact-PC hence ARC ptrace GETREGSET provides for
@stop_pc which returns ptregs->ret vs. EFA depending on the
situation.

However, writing stop_pc (SETREGSET request), which updates ptregs->ret
doesn't makes sense stop_pc doesn't always correspond to that reg as
described above.

This was not an issue so far since user_regs->ret / user_regs->stop_pc
had same value and both writing to ptregs->ret was OK, needless, but NOT
broken, hence not observed.

With gdb "jump", they diverge, and user_regs->ret updating ptregs is
overwritten immediately with stop_pc, which this patch fixes.

  And one pain in the ass revert, so we have VGA arbitration that when
  implemented 4-5 years ago really hoped that GPUs could remove
  themselves from arbitration completely once they had a kernel driver.

  It seems Intel hw designers decided that was too nice a facility to
  allow us to have so they removed it when they went on-die (so since
  Ironlake at least).  Now Alex Williamson added support for VGA
  arbitration for newer GPUs however this now exposes itself to
  userspace as requireing arbitration of GPU VGA regions and the X
  server gets involved and disables things that it can't handle when VGA
  access is possibly required around every operation.

  So in order to not break userspace we just reverted things back to the
  old known broken status so maybe we can try and design out way out.

  Ville also had a patch to use stop machine for the two times Intel
  needs to access VGA space, that might be acceptable with some rework,
  but for now myself and Daniel agreed to just go back"

HW ACR support may have issues on some older chips, so
use SW ACR for now until we've tested further.

      kvm: ppc: booke: check range page invalidation progress on page setup · 40fde70d
      Bharat Bhushan authored 
      

When the MM code is invalidating a range of pages, it calls the KVM
kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() notifier function, which calls
kvm_unmap_hva_range(), which arranges to flush all the TLBs for guest pages.
However, the Linux PTEs for the range being flushed are still valid at
that point.  We are not supposed to establish any new references to pages
in the range until the ...range_end() notifier gets called.
The PPC-specific KVM code doesn't get any explicit notification of that;
instead, we are supposed to use mmu_notifier_retry() to test whether we
are or have been inside a range flush notifier pair while we have been
referencing a page.

This patch calls the mmu_notifier_retry() while mapping the guest
page to ensure we are not referencing a page when in range invalidation.

This call is inside a region locked with kvm->mmu_lock, which is the
same lock that is called by the KVM MMU notifier functions, thus
ensuring that no new notification can proceed while we are in the
locked region.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix typo in saving DSCR · cfc86025
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      

This fixes a typo in the code that saves the guest DSCR (Data Stream
Control Register) into the kvm_vcpu_arch struct on guest exit.  The
effect of the typo was that the DSCR value was saved in the wrong place,
so changes to the DSCR by the guest didn't persist across guest exit
and entry, and some host kernel memory got corrupted.

      KVM: nVMX: fix shadow on EPT · d0d538b9
      Gleb Natapov authored 
      72f85795

 broke shadow on EPT. This patch reverts it and fixes PAE
on nEPT (which reverted commit fixed) in other way.

Shadow on EPT is now broken because while L1 builds shadow page table
for L2 (which is PAE while L2 is in real mode) it never loads L2's
GUEST_PDPTR[0-3].  They do not need to be loaded because without nested
virtualization HW does this during guest entry if EPT is disabled,
but in our case L0 emulates L2's vmentry while EPT is enables, so we
cannot rely on vmcs12->guest_pdptr[0-3] to contain up-to-date values
and need to re-read PDPTEs from L2 memory. This is what kvm_set_cr3()
is doing, but by clearing cache bits during L2 vmentry we drop values
that kvm_set_cr3() read from memory.

So why the same code does not work for PAE on nEPT? kvm_set_cr3()
reads pdptes into vcpu->arch.walk_mmu->pdptrs[]. walk_mmu points to
vcpu->arch.nested_mmu while nested guest is running, but ept_load_pdptrs()
uses vcpu->arch.mmu which contain incorrect values. Fix that by using
walk_mmu in ept_(load|save)_pdptrs.
