988adfdffd Merge branch 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "Highlights:

   - AMD KFD driver merge

     This is the AMD HSA interface for exposing a lowlevel interface for
     GPGPU use.  They have an open source userspace built on top of this
     interface, and the code looks as good as it was going to get out of
     tree.

   - Initial atomic modesetting work

     The need for an atomic modesetting interface to allow userspace to
     try and send a complete set of modesetting state to the driver has
     arisen, and been suffering from neglect this past year.  No more,
     the start of the common code and changes for msm driver to use it
     are in this tree.  Ongoing work to get the userspace ioctl finished
     and the code clean will probably wait until next kernel.

   - DisplayID 1.3 and tiled monitor exposed to userspace.

     Tiled monitor property is now exposed for userspace to make use of.

   - Rockchip drm driver merged.

   - imx gpu driver moved out of staging

  Other stuff:

   - core:
        panel - MIPI DSI + new panels.
        expose suggested x/y properties for virtual GPUs

   - i915:
        Initial Skylake (SKL) support
        gen3/4 reset work
        start of dri1/ums removal
        infoframe tracking
        fixes for lots of things.

   - nouveau:
        tegra k1 voltage support
        GM204 modesetting support
        GT21x memory reclocking work

   - radeon:
        CI dpm fixes
        GPUVM improvements
        Initial DPM fan control

   - rcar-du:
        HDMI support added
        removed some support for old boards

c8c06efa8b mm: convert i_mmap_mutex to rwsem
The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting
similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory.  To
this end, this lock can also be a rwsem.  In addition, there are some
important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree
modifications.

This conversion is straightforward.  For now, all users take the write
lock.

5712846808 kvm: Fix page ageing bugs
1. We were calling clear_flush_young_notify in unmap_one, but we are
within an mmu notifier invalidate range scope. The spte exists no more
(due to range_start) and the accessed bit info has already been
propagated (due to kvm_pfn_set_accessed). Simply call
clear_flush_young.

2. We clear_flush_young on a primary MMU PMD, but this may be mapped
as a collection of PTEs by the secondary MMU (e.g. during log-dirty).
This required expanding the interface of the clear_flush_young mmu
notifier, so a lot of code has been trivially touched.

3. In the absence of shadow_accessed_mask (e.g. EPT A bit), we emulate
the access bit by blowing the spte. This requires proper synchronizing
with MMU notifier consumers, like every other removal of spte's does.

b972216e27 mmu_notifier: add call_srcu and sync function for listener to delay call and sync
When kernel device drivers or subsystems want to bind their lifespan to
t= he lifespan of the mm_struct, they usually use one of the following
methods:

1. Manually calling a function in the interested kernel module.  The
   funct= ion call needs to be placed in mmput.  This method was rejected
   by several ker= nel maintainers.

2. Registering to the mmu notifier release mechanism.

The problem with the latter approach is that the mmu_notifier_release
cal= lback is called from__mmu_notifier_release (called from exit_mmap).
That functi= on iterates over the list of mmu notifiers and don't expect
the release call= back function to remove itself from the list.
Therefore, the callback function= in the kernel module can't release the
mmu_notifier_object, which is actuall= y the kernel module's object
itself.  As a result, the destruction of the kernel module's object must
to be done in a delayed fashion.

This patch adds support for this delayed callback, by adding a new
mmu_notifier_call_srcu function that receives a function ptr and calls
th= at function with call_srcu.  In that function, the kernel module
releases its object.  To use mmu_notifier_call_srcu, the calling module
needs to call b= efore that a new function called
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release that as its= name implies,
unregisters a notifier without calling its notifier release call= back.

This patch also adds a function that will call barrier_srcu so those
kern= el modules can sync with mmu_notifier.

1897bdc4d3 mmu_notifier: add mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
This notifier closes an important gap in the current mmu_notifier
implementation, the existing callbacks are called too early or too late to
reliably manage a non-CPU TLB.  Specifically, invalidate_range_start() is
called when all pages are still mapped and invalidate_range_end() when all
pages are unmapped and potentially freed.

This is fine when the users of the mmu_notifiers manage their own SoftTLB,
like KVM does.  When the TLB is managed in software it is easy to wipe out
entries for a given range and prevent new entries to be established until
invalidate_range_end is called.

But when the user of mmu_notifiers has to manage a hardware TLB it can
still wipe out TLB entries in invalidate_range_start, but it can't make
sure that no new TLB entries in the given range are established between
invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end.

To avoid silent data corruption the entries in the non-CPU TLB need to be
flushed when the pages are unmapped (at this point in time no _new_ TLB
entries can be established in the non-CPU TLB) but not yet freed (as the
non-CPU TLB may still have _existing_ entries pointing to the pages about
to be freed).

To fix this problem we need to catch the moment when the Linux VMM flushes
remote TLBs (as a non-CPU TLB is not very CPU TLB), as this is the point
in time when the pages are unmapped but _not_ yet freed.

The mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() function aims to catch that moment.

IOMMU code will be one user of the notifier-callback.  Currently this is
only the AMD IOMMUv2 driver, but its code is about to be more generalized
and converted to a generic IOMMU-API extension to fit the needs of similar
functionality in other IOMMUs as well.

The current attempt in the AMD IOMMUv2 driver to work around the
invalidate_range_start/end() shortcoming is to assign an empty page table
to the non-CPU TLB between any invalidata_range_start/end calls.  With the
empty page-table assigned, every page-table walk to re-fill the non-CPU
TLB will cause a page-fault reported to the IOMMU driver via an interrupt,
possibly causing interrupt storms.

The page-fault handler in the AMD IOMMUv2 driver doesn't handle the fault
if an invalidate_range_start/end pair is active, it just reports back
SUCCESS to the device and let it refault the page.  But existing hardware
(newer Radeon GPUs) that makes use of this feature don't re-fault
indefinitly, after a certain number of faults for the same address the
device enters a failure state and needs to be resetted.

To avoid the GPUs entering a failure state we need to get rid of the
empty-page-table workaround and use the mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
function introduced with this patch.

2ec74c3ef2 mm: move all mmu notifier invocations to be done outside the PT lock
In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
invoking them under the page table spinlock.  This patch solves the
problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
(but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.

To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
saving the arguments in consistently named locals:

	unsigned long mmun_start;	/* For mmu_notifiers */
	unsigned long mmun_end;	/* For mmu_notifiers */

	...

	mmun_start = ...
	mmun_end = ...
	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

	...

	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
aren't changing.

This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
added to the RDMA stack.

Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?

  Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
  and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
  virtual addresses directly to HW.  Until now, this was achieved by
  pinning the memory during the registration calls.  The goal of on demand
  paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
   This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
  other part of their processes address spaces.  Instead of requiring the
  entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
  and only fit the current working set in physical memory.

Why should anyone care?  What problems are users currently experiencing?

  This can make programming with RDMA much simpler.  Today, developers
  that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
  deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
  life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it.  On demand
  paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
  beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
  which pages needs to be fetched at a given time.  In the future, we
  might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
  that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
  region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
  all.

Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
infrastructural changes?  If so, which and how, etc?

  As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
  MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
  http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
  perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.

  Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
  hardware with the secondary page tables change.  A TLB flush of an IO
  device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
  sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
  interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.

Avi said:

  kvm may be a buyer.  kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
  faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
  It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
  mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.

  (there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
  generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
  is doing up there).

21a92735f6 mm: mmu_notifier: have mmu_notifiers use a global SRCU so they may safely schedule
With an RCU based mmu_notifier implementation, any callout to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() or
mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() would not be allowed to call schedule()
as that could potentially allow a modification to the mmu_notifier
structure while it is currently being used.

Since srcu allocs 4 machine words per instance per cpu, we may end up
with memory exhaustion if we use srcu per mm.  So all mms share a global
srcu.  Note that during large mmu_notifier activity exit & unregister
paths might hang for longer periods, but it is tolerable for current
mmu_notifier clients.

48af0d7cb3 mm: mmu_notifier: fix inconsistent memory between secondary MMU and host
There is a bug in set_pte_at_notify() which always sets the pte to the
new page before releasing the old page in the secondary MMU.  At this
time, the process will access on the new page, but the secondary MMU
still access on the old page, the memory is inconsistent between them

The below scenario shows the bug more clearly:

at the beginning: *p = 0, and p is write-protected by KSM or shared with
parent process

CPU 0                                       CPU 1
write 1 to p to trigger COW,
set_pte_at_notify will be called:
  *pte = new_page + W; /* The W bit of pte is set */

                                     *p = 1; /* pte is valid, so no #PF */

                                     return back to secondary MMU, then
                                     the secondary MMU read p, but get:
                                     *p == 0;

                         /*
                          * !!!!!!
                          * the host has already set p to 1, but the secondary
                          * MMU still get the old value 0
                          */

  call mmu_notifier_change_pte to release
  old page in secondary MMU

We can fix it by release old page first, then set the pte to the new
page.

Note, the new page will be firstly used in secondary MMU before it is
mapped into the page table of the process, but this is safe because it
is protected by the page table lock, there is no race to change the pte

8ee53820ed thp: mmu_notifier_test_young
For GRU and EPT, we need gup-fast to set referenced bit too (this is why
it's correct to return 0 when shadow_access_mask is zero, it requires
gup-fast to set the referenced bit).  qemu-kvm access already sets the
young bit in the pte if it isn't zero-copy, if it's zero copy or a shadow
paging EPT minor fault we relay on gup-fast to signal the page is in
use...

We also need to check the young bits on the secondary pagetables for NPT
and not nested shadow mmu as the data may never get accessed again by the
primary pte.

Without this closer accuracy, we'd have to remove the heuristic that
avoids collapsing hugepages in hugepage virtual regions that have not even
a single subpage in use.

->test_young is full backwards compatible with GRU and other usages that
don't have young bits in pagetables set by the hardware and that should
nuke the secondary mmu mappings when ->clear_flush_young runs just like
EPT does.

Removing the heuristic that checks the young bit in
khugepaged/collapse_huge_page completely isn't so bad either probably but
I thought it was worth it and this makes it reliable.

828502d300 ksm: add mmu_notifier set_pte_at_notify()
KSM is a linux driver that allows dynamicly sharing identical memory pages
between one or more processes.

Unlike tradtional page sharing that is made at the allocation of the
memory, ksm do it dynamicly after the memory was created.  Memory is
periodically scanned; identical pages are identified and merged.

The sharing is made in a transparent way to the processes that use it.

Ksm is highly important for hypervisors (kvm), where in production
enviorments there might be many copys of the same data data among the host
memory.  This kind of data can be: similar kernels, librarys, cache, and
so on.

Even that ksm was wrote for kvm, any userspace application that want to
use it to share its data can try it.

Ksm may be useful for any application that might have similar (page
aligment) data strctures among the memory, ksm will find this data merge
it to one copy, and even if it will be changed and thereforew copy on
writed, ksm will merge it again as soon as it will be identical again.

Another reason to consider using ksm is the fact that it might simplify
alot the userspace code of application that want to use shared private
data, instead that the application will mange shared area, ksm will do
this for the application, and even write to this data will be allowed
without any synchinization acts from the application.

Ksm was designed to be a loadable module that doesn't change the VM code
of linux.

This patch:

The set_pte_at_notify() macro allows setting a pte in the shadow page
table directly, instead of flushing the shadow page table entry and then
getting vmexit to set it.  It uses a new change_pte() callback to do so.

set_pte_at_notify() is an optimization for kvm, and other users of
mmu_notifiers, for COW pages.  It is useful for kvm when ksm is used,
because it allows kvm not to have to receive vmexit and only then map the
ksm page into the shadow page table, but instead map it directly at the
same time as Linux maps the page into the host page table.

Users of mmu_notifiers who don't implement new mmu_notifier_change_pte()
callback will just receive the mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() callback.

cddb8a5c14 mmu-notifiers: core
With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages.
 There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too.
sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in
mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte".  In GRU case there's no
actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU
secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss
event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by
the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will
walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently
to software if the corresponding spte is present).  The same way
zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte
(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and
reused.

Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that
means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte
because they're part of the guest working set.  Furthermore a spte unmap
event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released
(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe
logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the
spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in
the secondary MMU).

The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know
when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so
that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,
avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest
physical address space.  Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the
mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in
zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for
each fixed number of spte unmapped.

To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection
downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be
invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call
get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it
called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated
spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page.  Or it will setup a
readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls
get_user_pages with write=0.  This is just an example.

This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the
primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an
full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer
with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of
schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no
need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating
primary-mmu pte).

At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests
reliably.  And having this feature and removing the page pin allows
several other optimizations that simplify life considerably.

Dependencies:

1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM
   isn't doing anything with "mm".  This allows mmu notifier users to keep
   track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end
   critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and
   decreased in range_end.  No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map
   any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of
   range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical
   section could later immediately be freed without any further
   ->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on
   ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing
   the page).  To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the
   mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap
   locks must be taken too.

2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly
   run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if
   CONFIG_KVM=m/y.  In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of
   mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module
   against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from
   kvm.git we'll start using them.  And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to
   continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they
   submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel.  Then they can
   also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n).
   This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM
   are all =n.

The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be
interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR.  Because mmu_notifier_reigster
is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled.  Here
an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.
Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and
-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.

 struct  kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)
 {
        struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);
+       int err;

        if (!kvm)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);

        INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages);

+       kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;
+       err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm);
+       if (err) {
+               kfree(kvm);
+               return ERR_PTR(err);
+       }
+
        return kvm;
 }

mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable.

The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent
kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need
them by luck).
