74c4e63ab9 KVM: x86: MMU: Use for_each_rmap_spte macro instead of pte_list_walk()
As kvm_mmu_get_page() was changed so that every parent pointer would not
get into the sp->parent_ptes chain before the entry pointed to by it was
set properly, we can use the for_each_rmap_spte macro instead of
pte_list_walk().

98bba23842 KVM: x86: MMU: Move parent_pte handling from kvm_mmu_get_page() to link_shadow_page()
Every time kvm_mmu_get_page() is called with a non-NULL parent_pte
argument, link_shadow_page() follows that to set the parent entry so
that the new mapping will point to the returned page table.

Moving parent_pte handling there allows to clean up the code because
parent_pte is passed to kvm_mmu_get_page() just for mark_unsync() and
mmu_page_add_parent_pte().

In addition, the patch avoids calling mark_unsync() for other parents in
the sp->parent_ptes chain than the newly added parent_pte, because they
have been there since before the current page fault handling started.

77fbbbd2f0 KVM: x86: MMU: Consolidate BUG_ON checks for reverse-mapped sptes
At some call sites of rmap_get_first() and rmap_get_next(), BUG_ON is
placed right after the call to detect unrelated sptes which must not be
found in the reverse-mapping list.

Move this check in rmap_get_first/next() so that all call sites, not
just the users of the for_each_rmap_spte() macro, will be checked the
same way.

One thing to keep in mind is that kvm_mmu_unlink_parents() also uses
rmap_get_first() to handle parent sptes.  The change will not break it
because parent sptes are present, at least until drop_parent_pte()
actually unlinks them, and not mmio-sptes.

afd28fe1c9 KVM: x86: MMU: Remove is_rmap_spte() and use is_shadow_present_pte()
is_rmap_spte(), originally named is_rmap_pte(), was introduced when the
simple reverse mapping was implemented by commit cd4a4e5374
("[PATCH] KVM: MMU: Implement simple reverse mapping").  At that point,
its role was clear and only rmap_add() and rmap_remove() were using it
to select sptes that need to be reverse-mapped.

Independently of that, is_shadow_present_pte() was first introduced by
commit c7addb9020 ("KVM: Allow not-present guest page faults to
bypass kvm") to do bypass_guest_pf optimization, which does not exist
any more.

These two seem to have changed their roles somewhat, and is_rmap_spte()
just calls is_shadow_present_pte() now.

Since using both of them without clear distinction just makes the code
confusing, remove is_rmap_spte().

029499b477 KVM: x86: MMU: Make mmu_set_spte() return emulate value
mmu_set_spte()'s code is based on the assumption that the emulate
parameter has a valid pointer value if set_spte() returns true and
write_fault is not zero.  In other cases, emulate may be NULL, so a
NULL-check is needed.

Stop passing emulate pointer and make mmu_set_spte() return the emulate
value instead to clean up this complex interface.  Prefetch functions
can just throw away the return value.

0e3d0648bd KVM: x86: MMU: always set accessed bit in shadow PTEs
Commit 7a1638ce42 ("nEPT: Redefine EPT-specific link_shadow_page()",
2013-08-05) says:

    Since nEPT doesn't support A/D bit, we should not set those bit
    when building the shadow page table.

but this is not necessary.  Even though nEPT doesn't support A/D
bits, and hence the vmcs12 EPT pointer will never enable them,
we always use them for shadow page tables if available (see
construct_eptp in vmx.c).  So we can set the A/D bits freely
in the shadow page table.

This patch hence basically reverts commit 7a1638ce42.

5c919412fe kvm/x86: Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controller
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

d62caabb41 kvm/x86: per-vcpu apicv deactivation support
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.

rely on the fact that only ioapic-handled vectors were set up to

b2467e744f KVM: nVMX: remove incorrect vpid check in nested invvpid emulation
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).

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.

c0f0963464 arm64: KVM: Fix AArch32 to AArch64 register mapping
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.

e6fab54423 ARM/arm64: KVM: test properly for a PTE's uncachedness
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.

Merge slub bulk allocator updates from Andrew Morton:
 "This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to
  come in.  Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes
  to other code paths are pretty small.  And the net guys are waiting
  for this so they can start merging the client code"

More comments from Jesper Dangaard Brouer:
 "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in
  previous kernel.  The present version contains a bug.  Vladimir
  Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with
  CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed57f: "slub: fix kmem cgroup
  bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk").  Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in
  kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 033745189b "slub:
  add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk").

  I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree
  users of the API.

  But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the
  net-tree"

865762a811 slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API
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.

033745189b slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk
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).

03ec0ed57f slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk
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.

d0ecd894e3 slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist
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.

Performance data:
 Benchmarked[1] obj size 256 bytes on CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz

To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with
"slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).

Performance data, compared against fallback bulking:

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.

81084651d7 slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists
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).

736d216933 parisc: Add Huge Page and HUGETLBFS support
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.
