c612505f86 arm64: kvm: Fix kvm teardown for systems using the extended idmap
If memory is located above 1<<VA_BITS, kvm adds an extra level to its page
tables, merging the runtime tables and boot tables that contain the idmap.
This lets us avoid the trampoline dance during initialisation.

This also means there is no trampoline page mapped, so
__cpu_reset_hyp_mode() can't call __kvm_hyp_reset() in this page. The good
news is the idmap is still mapped, so we don't need the trampoline page.
The bad news is we can't call it directly as the idmap is above
HYP_PAGE_OFFSET, so its address is masked by kvm_call_hyp.

Add a function __extended_idmap_trampoline which will branch into
__kvm_hyp_reset in the idmap, change kvm_hyp_reset_entry() to return
this address if __kvm_cpu_uses_extended_idmap(). In this case
__kvm_hyp_reset() will still switch to the boot tables (which are the
merged tables that were already in use), and branch into the idmap (where
it already was).

This fixes boot failures on these systems, where we fail to execute the
missing trampoline page when tearing down kvm in init_subsystems():

67f6919766 arm64: kvm: allows kvm cpu hotplug
The current kvm implementation on arm64 does cpu-specific initialization
at system boot, and has no way to gracefully shutdown a core in terms of
kvm. This prevents kexec from rebooting the system at EL2.

This patch adds a cpu tear-down function and also puts an existing cpu-init
code into a separate function, kvm_arch_hardware_disable() and
kvm_arch_hardware_enable() respectively.
We don't need the arm64 specific cpu hotplug hook any more.

Since this patch modifies common code between arm and arm64, one stub
definition, __cpu_reset_hyp_mode(), is added on arm side to avoid
compilation errors.

6141570c36 arm64: KVM: Warn when PARange is less than 40 bits
We always thought that 40bits of PA range would be the minimum people
would actually build. Anything less is terrifyingly small.

Turns out that we were both right and wrong. Nobody has ever built
such a system, but the ARM Foundation Model has a PARange set to 36bits.
Just because we can. Oh well. Now, the KVM API explicitely says that
we offer a 40bit PA space to the VM, so we shouldn't run KVM on
the Foundation Model at all.

That being said, this patch offers a less agressive alternative, and
loudly warns about the configuration being unsupported. You'll still
be able to run VMs (at your own risks, though).

This is just a workaround until we have a proper userspace API where
we report the PARange to userspace.

588ab3f9af arm64 updates for 4.6:
- Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
   mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture requires
   break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but that's not
   always possible on live page tables
 
 - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked to
   the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom of
   the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly) anywhere
   in physical RAM
 
 - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
   randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is provided
   by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the arm64 tree,
   acked by Matt Fleming)
 
 - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
   (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c but
   actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
   dependencies)
 
 - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this allows
   uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using LDTR/STTR
   instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel, perform
   unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection. The
   set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to privileged
   accesses via the UAO bit
 
 - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)
 
 - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
   run-time code patching)
 
 - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time
 
 - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
   incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g. weird
   big.LITTLE configurations)
 
 - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the sigcontext
   information (restored pstate information)
 
 - ACPI parking protocol implementation
 
 - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default
 
 - VDSO code marked as read-only
 
 - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support
 
 - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

d692b8ad6e arm64: KVM: Add access handler for PMUSERENR register
This register resets as unknown in 64bit mode while it resets as zero
in 32bit mode. Here we choose to reset it as zero for consistency.

PMUSERENR_EL0 holds some bits which decide whether PMU registers can be
accessed from EL0. Add some check helpers to handle the access from EL0.

When these bits are zero, only reading PMUSERENR will trap to EL2 and
writing PMUSERENR or reading/writing other PMU registers will trap to
EL1 other than EL2 when HCR.TGE==0. To current KVM configuration
(HCR.TGE==0) there is no way to get these traps. Here we write 0xf to
physical PMUSERENR register on VM entry, so that it will trap PMU access
from EL0 to EL2. Within the register access handler we check the real
value of guest PMUSERENR register to decide whether this access is
allowed. If not allowed, return false to inject UND to guest.

The access handler translates all aarch32 register offsets to aarch64

of big endian.

When reading these registers, return the sum of register value and the

d35268da66 arm/arm64: KVM: arch_timer: Only schedule soft timer on vcpu_block
We currently schedule a soft timer every time we exit the guest if the
timer did not expire while running the guest.  This is really not
necessary, because the only work we do in the timer work function is to
kick the vcpu.

Kicking the vcpu does two things:
(1) If the vpcu thread is on a waitqueue, make it runnable and remove it
from the waitqueue.
(2) If the vcpu is running on a different physical CPU from the one
doing the kick, it sends a reschedule IPI.

The second case cannot happen, because the soft timer is only ever
scheduled when the vcpu is not running.  The first case is only relevant
when the vcpu thread is on a waitqueue, which is only the case when the
vcpu thread has called kvm_vcpu_block().

Therefore, we only need to make sure a timer is scheduled for
kvm_vcpu_block(), which we do by encapsulating all calls to
kvm_vcpu_block() with kvm_timer_{un}schedule calls.

Additionally, we only schedule a soft timer if the timer is enabled and
unmasked, since it is useless otherwise.

Note that theoretically userspace can use the SET_ONE_REG interface to
change registers that should cause the timer to fire, even if the vcpu
is blocked without a scheduled timer, but this case was not supported
before this patch and we leave it for future work for now.

ef748917b5 arm/arm64: KVM: Remove 'config KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS'
This patch removes config option of KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS,
and like other ARCHs, just choose the maximum allowed
value from hardware, and follows the reasons:

1) from distribution view, the option has to be
defined as the max allowed value because it need to
meet all kinds of virtulization applications and
need to support most of SoCs;

2) using a bigger value doesn't introduce extra memory
consumption, and the help text in Kconfig isn't accurate
because kvm_vpu structure isn't allocated until request
of creating VCPU is sent from QEMU;

3) the main effect is that the field of vcpus[] in 'struct kvm'
becomes a bit bigger(sizeof(void *) per vcpu) and need more cache
lines to hold the structure, but 'struct kvm' is one generic struct,
and it has worked well on other ARCHs already in this way. Also,
the world switch frequecy is often low, for example, it is ~2000
when running kernel building load in VM from APM xgene KVM host,
so the effect is very small, and the difference can't be observed
in my test at all.

62bea5bff4 KVM: add halt_attempted_poll to VCPU stats
This new statistic can help diagnosing VCPUs that, for any reason,
trigger bad behavior of halt_poll_ns autotuning.

For example, say halt_poll_ns = 480000, and wakeups are spaced exactly
like 479us, 481us, 479us, 481us. Then KVM always fails polling and wastes
10+20+40+80+160+320+480 = 1110 microseconds out of every
479+481+479+481+479+481+479 = 3359 microseconds. The VCPU then
is consuming about 30% more CPU than it would use without
polling.  This would show as an abnormally high number of
attempted polling compared to the successful polls.

84e690bfbe KVM: arm64: introduce vcpu->arch.debug_ptr
This introduces a level of indirection for the debug registers. Instead
of using the sys_regs[] directly we store registers in a structure in
the vcpu. The new kvm_arm_reset_debug_ptr() sets the debug ptr to the
guest context.

Because we no longer give the sys_regs offset for the sys_reg_desc->reg
field, but instead the index into a debug-specific struct we need to
add a number of additional trap functions for each register. Also as the
generic generic user-space access code no longer works we have
introduced a new pair of function pointers to the sys_reg_desc structure
to override the generic code when needed.

This adds support for single-stepping the guest. To do this we need to
manipulate the guests PSTATE.SS and MDSCR_EL1.SS bits to trigger
stepping. We take care to preserve MDSCR_EL1 and trap access to it to
ensure we don't affect the apparent state of the guest.

As we have to enable trapping of all software debug exceptions we
suppress the ability of the guest to single-step itself. If we didn't we
would have to deal with the exception arriving while the guest was in
kernelspace when the guest is expecting to single-step userspace. This
is something we don't want to unwind in the kernel. Once the host is no
longer debugging the guest its ability to single-step userspace is
restored.

56c7f5e77f KVM: arm: introduce kvm_arm_init/setup/clear_debug
This is a precursor for later patches which will need to do more to
setup debug state before entering the hyp.S switch code. The existing
functionality for setting mdcr_el2 has been moved out of hyp.S and now
uses the value kept in vcpu->arch.mdcr_el2.

As the assembler used to previously mask and preserve MDCR_EL2.HPMN I've
had to add a mechanism to save the value of mdcr_el2 as a per-cpu
variable during the initialisation code. The kernel never sets this
number so we are assuming the bootcode has set up the correct value
here.

This also moves the conditional setting of the TDA bit from the hyp code
into the C code which is currently used for the lazy debug register
context switch code.

35307b9a5f arm/arm64: KVM: Implement Stage-2 page aging
Until now, KVM/arm didn't care much for page aging (who was swapping
anyway?), and simply provided empty hooks to the core KVM code. With
server-type systems now being available, things are quite different.

This patch implements very simple support for page aging, by clearing
the Access flag in the Stage-2 page tables. On access fault, the current
fault handling will write the PTE or PMD again, putting the Access flag
back on.

It should be possible to implement a much faster handling for Access
faults, but that's left for a later patch.

With this in place, performance in VMs is degraded much more gracefully.

f781951299 kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.

This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest.  KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too.  When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.

With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest.  This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.

Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host.  The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.

The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter.  It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.

While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls.  During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark.  The wasted time is thus very low.  Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.

The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer.  Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns.  For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

3c1e716508 arm/arm64: KVM: Use set/way op trapping to track the state of the caches
Trying to emulate the behaviour of set/way cache ops is fairly
pointless, as there are too many ways we can end-up missing stuff.
Also, there is some system caches out there that simply ignore
set/way operations.

So instead of trying to implement them, let's convert it to VA ops,
and use them as a way to re-enable the trapping of VM ops. That way,
we can detect the point when the MMU/caches are turned off, and do
a full VM flush (which is what the guest was trying to do anyway).

This allows a 32bit zImage to boot on the APM thingy, and will
probably help bootloaders in general.

3caa2d8c3b arm/arm64: KVM: make the maximum number of vCPUs a per-VM value
Currently the maximum number of vCPUs supported is a global value
limited by the used GIC model. GICv3 will lift this limit, but we
still need to observe it for guests using GICv2.
So the maximum number of vCPUs is per-VM value, depending on the
GIC model the guest uses.
Store and check the value in struct kvm_arch, but keep it down to
8 for now.

4429fc64b9 arm/arm64: KVM: rework MPIDR assignment and add accessors
The virtual MPIDR registers (containing topology information) for the
guest are currently mapped linearily to the vcpu_id. Improve this
mapping for arm64 by using three levels to not artificially limit the
number of vCPUs.
To help this, change and rename the kvm_vcpu_get_mpidr() function to
mask off the non-affinity bits in the MPIDR register.
Also add an accessor to later allow easier access to a vCPU with a
given MPIDR. Use this new accessor in the PSCI emulation.
