      x86/kvm: Support Hyper-V reenlightenment · 0092e434
      Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
      
      
      When running nested KVM on Hyper-V guests its required to update
      masterclocks for all guests when L1 migrates to a host with different TSC
      frequency.
      
      Implement the procedure in the following way:
        - Pause all guests.
        - Tell the host (Hyper-V) to stop emulating TSC accesses.
        - Update the gtod copy, recompute clocks.
        - Unpause all guests.
      
      This is somewhat similar to cpufreq but there are two important differences:
       - TSC emulation can only be disabled globally (on all CPUs)
       - The new TSC frequency is not known until emulation is turned off so
         there is no way to 'prepare' for the event upfront.

      x86/kvm: Pass stable clocksource to guests when running nested on Hyper-V · b0c39dc6
      Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
      
      
      Currently, KVM is able to work in 'masterclock' mode passing
      PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT to guests when the clocksource which is used on the
      host is TSC.
      
      When running nested on Hyper-V the guest normally uses a different one: TSC
      page which is resistant to TSC frequency changes on events like L1
      migration. Add support for it in KVM.
      
      The only non-trivial change is in vgettsc(): when updating the gtod copy
      both the clock readout and tsc value have to be updated now.

      x86/hyperv: Redirect reenlightment notifications on CPU offlining · e7c4e36c
      Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
      
      
      It is very unlikely for CPUs to get offlined when running on Hyper-V as
      there is a protection in the vmbus module which prevents it when the guest
      has any VMBus devices assigned. This, however, may change in future if an
      option to reassign an already active channel will be added. It is also
      possible to run without any Hyper-V devices or to have a CPU with no
      assigned channels.
      
      Reassign reenlightenment notifications to some other active CPU when the
      CPU which is assigned to them goes offline.

      x86/hyperv: Reenlightenment notifications support · 93286261
      Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
      
      
      Hyper-V supports Live Migration notification. This is supposed to be used
      in conjunction with TSC emulation: when a VM is migrated to a host with
      different TSC frequency for some short period the host emulates the
      accesses to TSC and sends an interrupt to notify about the event. When the
      guest is done updating everything it can disable TSC emulation and
      everything will start working fast again.
      
      These notifications weren't required until now as Hyper-V guests are not
      supposed to use TSC as a clocksource: in Linux the TSC is even marked as
      unstable on boot. Guests normally use 'tsc page' clocksource and host
      updates its values on migrations automatically.
      
      Things change when with nested virtualization: even when the PV
      clocksources (kvm-clock or tsc page) are passed through to the nested
      guests the TSC frequency and frequency changes need to be know..
      
      Hyper-V Top Level Functional Specification (as of v5.0b) wrongly specifies
      EAX:BIT(12) of CPUID:0x40000009 as the feature identification bit. The
      right one to check is EAX:BIT(13) of CPUID:0x40000003. I was assured that
      the fix in on the way.

       "The timer departement presents:
      
         - A rather large rework of the hrtimer infrastructure which
           introduces softirq based hrtimers to replace the spread of
           hrtimer/tasklet combos which force the actual callback execution
           into softirq context. The approach is completely different from the
           initial implementation which you cursed at 10 years ago rightfully.
      
           The softirq based timers have their own queues and there is no
           nasty indirection and list reshuffling in the hard interrupt
           anymore. This comes with conversion of some of the hrtimer/tasklet
           users, the rest and the final removal of that horrible interface
           will come towards the end of the merge window or go through the
           relevant maintainer trees.

         - raid56 recovery: don't use cached stripes, that could be
           potentially changed and a later RMW or recovery would lead to
           corruptions or failures
      
         - let raid56 try harder to rebuild damaged data, reading from all
           stripes if necessary
      
         - fix scrub to repair raid56 in a similar way as in the case above
      
        Other:
      
         - cleanups: device freeing, removed some call indirections, redundant

      Pull inode->i_version rework from Jeff Layton:
       "This pile of patches is a rework of the inode->i_version field. We
        have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or
        metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
        even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.
      
        It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
        require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
        that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
        field was checked.
      
        Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
        avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
        and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
        rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.
      
        This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
        a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
        it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
        implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
        metadata updates when no one is looking at it.
      
        In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
        small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
        the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
        DAX, with 4k writes):

         - BFQ improvements, fixes, and cleanups from Angelo, Chiara, and
           Paolo.
      
         - Support for SMR zones for deadline and mq-deadline from Damien and

           from himself, Kent, Rui, Tang, and Coly.
      
         - Series from Matias for lightnvm with fixes from Hans Holmberg,
           Javier, and Matias. Mostly centered around pblk, and the removing
           rrpc 1.2 in preparation for supporting 2.0.
      
         - A couple of NVMe pull requests from Christoph. Nothing major in
           here, just fixes and cleanups, and support for command tracing from
           Johannes.
      
         - Support for blk-throttle for tracking reads and writes separately.
           From Joseph Qi. A few cleanups/fixes also for blk-throttle from
           Weiping.
      
         - Series from Mike Snitzer that enables dm to register its queue more
           logically, something that's alwways been problematic on dm since
           it's a stacked device.
      
         - Series from Ming cleaning up some of the bio accessor use, in
           preparation for supporting multipage bvecs.
      
         - Various fixes from Ming closing up holes around queue mapping and
           quiescing.
      
         - BSD partition fix from Richard Narron, fixing a problem where we
           can't mount newer (10/11) FreeBSD partitions.
      
         - Series from Tejun reworking blk-mq timeout handling. The previous
           scheme relied on atomic bits, but it had races where we would think
           a request had timed out if it to reused at the wrong time.
      
         - null_blk now supports faking timeouts, to enable us to better
           exercise and test that functionality separately. From me.
      
         - Kill the separate atomic poll bit in the request struct. After
           this, we don't use the atomic bits on blk-mq anymore at all. From
           me.
      
         - sgl_alloc/free helpers from Bart.
      
         - Heavily contended tag case scalability improvement from me.
      
         - Various little fixes and cleanups from Arnd, Bart, Corentin,

      Pull MMC updates from Ulf Hansson:
       "There are two major achievements for MMC in this release, which
        deserves to be specially highlighted.
      
        First, we have converted the MMC block device from using the legacy
        blk interface into using the modern blkmq interface. Not only do we
        get all the nice effects from using blkmq, but it also means that new
        fresh nice code replaces old rusty code. Great news to everybody that
        cares about MMC/SD!
      
        It should also be noted that converting to blkmq has not been trivial,
        mostly because of that we have been carrying too much of MMC specific
        optimizations for the I/O request path, rather than striving to move
        these to the generic blk layer. Hopefully we won't be doing that
        mistake, ever again.
      
        Special thanks to Adrian Hunter (Intel) and to Linus Walleij (Linaro),
        who both have been working on this for quite some time!
      
        Second, on top of the blkmq deployment, we have enabled full support
        the eMMC command queuing feature, introduced in the eMMC v.5.1 spec.
        This also includes an implementation of a host driver library,
        supporting the corresponding CQHCI HW. Ideally, those controllers that
        supports CQHCI should only need some minor adaptations to make this
        play.
      
        So far the sdhci-pci driver for the Intel GLKs and the sdhci-of-arasan
        driver used on Rockchip RK3399, have enabled support for eMMC command
        queueing.
      
        Worth to highlight is also that, implementing the eMMC command queuing
        support has been a collaborative effort, as several people from
        Codeaurora, Rockchip, Intel and Linaro have been involved. However,
        the work has been driven by Adrian Hunter (Intel).
      
        In some shadow of the above, here are the rest of the highlights:
      
        MMC core:
         - Don't remove non-removable cards during system suspend
         - Add a slot-gpio helper to check capability of GPIO WP detection
      
        MMC host:
         - sdhci: Cleanups and improvements of some wakeup related code
         - sdhci-pci-arasan: New variant to support Arasan PCI HW with integrated phy
         - sdhci-acpi: Avoid broken UHS transfer modes on Intel CHT
         - sdhci-acpi: Add support for ACPI HID of AMD Controller with HS400
         - sdhci_f_sdh30: Add ACPI support
         - sdhci-esdhc-imx: Enable/disable clock at runtime suspend/resume
         - sdhci-of-esdhc: A few minor fixes
         - mmci: Add support for new STM32 variant
         - renesas_sdhi: enable R-Car D3 (r8a77995) support
         - tmio/renesas_sdhi: Re-structuring, cleanups and modernizations"
