Mingwei Zhang 1685c0f325 KVM: x86/mmu: rename trace function name for asynchronous page fault
Rename the tracepoint function from trace_kvm_async_pf_doublefault() to
trace_kvm_async_pf_repeated_fault() to make it clear, since double fault
has nothing to do with this trace function.

Asynchronous Page Fault (APF) is an artifact generated by KVM when it
cannot find a physical page to satisfy an EPT violation. KVM uses APF to
tell the guest OS to do something else such as scheduling other guest
processes to make forward progress. However, when another guest process
also touches a previously APFed page, KVM halts the vCPU instead of
generating a repeated APF to avoid wasting cycles.

Double fault (#DF) clearly has a different meaning and a different
consequence when triggered. #DF requires two nested contributory exceptions
instead of two page faults faulting at the same address. A prevous bug on
APF indicates that it may trigger a double fault in the guest [1] and
clearly this trace function has nothing to do with it. So rename this
function should be a valid choice.

No functional change intended.

Sean Christopherson 6dfbd6b5d5 KVM: x86/mmu: Drop trace_kvm_age_page() tracepoint
Remove x86's trace_kvm_age_page() tracepoint.  It's mostly redundant with
the common trace_kvm_age_hva() tracepoint, and if there is a need for the
extra details, e.g. gfn, referenced, etc... those details should be added
to the common tracepoint so that all architectures and MMUs benefit from
the info.

Sean Christopherson 501b918525 KVM: Move arm64's MMU notifier trace events to generic code
Move arm64's MMU notifier trace events into common code in preparation
for doing the hva->gfn lookup in common code.  The alternative would be
to trace the gfn instead of hva, but that's not obviously better and
could also be done in common code.  Tracing the notifiers is also quite
handy for debug regardless of architecture.

Remove a completely redundant tracepoint from PPC e500.

Peter Xu fb04a1eddb KVM: X86: Implement ring-based dirty memory tracking
This patch is heavily based on previous work from Lei Cao
<lei.cao@stratus.com> and Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>. [1]

KVM currently uses large bitmaps to track dirty memory.  These bitmaps
are copied to userspace when userspace queries KVM for its dirty page
information.  The use of bitmaps is mostly sufficient for live
migration, as large parts of memory are be dirtied from one log-dirty
pass to another.  However, in a checkpointing system, the number of
dirty pages is small and in fact it is often bounded---the VM is
paused when it has dirtied a pre-defined number of pages. Traversing a
large, sparsely populated bitmap to find set bits is time-consuming,
as is copying the bitmap to user-space.

A similar issue will be there for live migration when the guest memory
is huge while the page dirty procedure is trivial.  In that case for
each dirty sync we need to pull the whole dirty bitmap to userspace
and analyse every bit even if it's mostly zeros.

The preferred data structure for above scenarios is a dense list of
guest frame numbers (GFN).  This patch series stores the dirty list in
kernel memory that can be memory mapped into userspace to allow speedy
harvesting.

This patch enables dirty ring for X86 only.  However it should be
easily extended to other archs as well.

Alexander Graf 1ae099540e KVM: x86: Allow deflecting unknown MSR accesses to user space
MSRs are weird. Some of them are normal control registers, such as EFER.
Some however are registers that really are model specific, not very
interesting to virtualization workloads, and not performance critical.
Others again are really just windows into package configuration.

Out of these MSRs, only the first category is necessary to implement in
kernel space. Rarely accessed MSRs, MSRs that should be fine tunes against
certain CPU models and MSRs that contain information on the package level
are much better suited for user space to process. However, over time we have
accumulated a lot of MSRs that are not the first category, but still handled
by in-kernel KVM code.

This patch adds a generic interface to handle WRMSR and RDMSR from user
space. With this, any future MSR that is part of the latter categories can
be handled in user space.

Furthermore, it allows us to replace the existing "ignore_msrs" logic with
something that applies per-VM rather than on the full system. That way you
can run productive VMs in parallel to experimental ones where you don't care
about proper MSR handling.

Alexander Graf 1ccf2fe35c KVM: arm: Add trace name for ARM_NISV
Commit c726200dd1 ("KVM: arm/arm64: Allow reporting non-ISV data aborts
to userspace") introduced a mechanism to deflect MMIO traffic the kernel
can not handle to user space. For that, it introduced a new exit reason.

However, it did not update the trace point array that gives human readable
names to these exit reasons inside the trace log.

Let's fix that up after the fact, so that trace logs are pretty even when
we get user space MMIO traps on ARM.

it by just accessing the bytes which we operate on.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Radim Krčmář 3713131345 KVM: x86: add KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API
KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API is a capability for features related to x2APIC
enablement.  KVM_X2APIC_API_32BIT_FORMAT feature can be enabled to
extend APIC ID in get/set ioctl and MSI addresses to 32 bits.
Both are needed to support x2APIC.

The feature has to be enableable and disabled by default, because
get/set ioctl shifted and truncated APIC ID to 8 bits by using a
non-standard protocol inspired by xAPIC and the change is not
backward-compatible.

Changes to MSI addresses follow the format used by interrupt remapping
unit.  The upper address word, that used to be 0, contains upper 24 bits
of the LAPIC address in its upper 24 bits.  Lower 8 bits are reserved as
0.  Using the upper address word is not backward-compatible either as we
didn't check that userspace zeroed the word.  Reserved bits are still
not explicitly checked, but non-zero data will affect LAPIC addresses,
which will cause a bug.

Christian Borntraeger 3491caf275 KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify wakeups during poll
Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.

For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
not sucessful. As  KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.

This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
while still providing a proper speedup.

This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
 instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures).
 This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes
 or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This also has to be enabled manually for now,
 but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future.
 
 ARM/ARM64: the highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
 tracking
 
 s390: several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
 exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
 it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)
 
 MIPS: Bugfixes.
 
 x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
 Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization
 improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation
 fixes.  There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
 timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.
 
 Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
 have already included his tree.
 
 ARM has other conflicts where functions are added in the same place
 by 3.19-rc and 3.20 patches.  These are not large though, and entirely
 within KVM.

Paolo Bonzini 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.

Zhang Haoyu 184564efae kvm: ioapic: conditionally delay irq delivery duringeoi broadcast
Currently, we call ioapic_service() immediately when we find the irq is still
active during eoi broadcast. But for real hardware, there's some delay between
the EOI writing and irq delivery.  If we do not emulate this behavior, and
re-inject the interrupt immediately after the guest sends an EOI and re-enables
interrupts, a guest might spend all its time in the ISR if it has a broken
handler for a level-triggered interrupt.

Such livelock actually happens with Windows guests when resuming from
hibernation.

As there's no way to recognize the broken handle from new raised ones, this patch
delays an interrupt if 10.000 consecutive EOIs found that the interrupt was
still high.  The guest can then make a little forward progress, until a proper
IRQ handler is set or until some detection routine in the guest (such as
Linux's note_interrupt()) recognizes the situation.

Paolo Bonzini c77dcacb39 KVM: Move more code under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD
Commits e4d57e1ee1 (KVM: Move irq notifier implementation into
eventfd.c, 2014-06-30) included the irq notifier code unconditionally
in eventfd.c, while it was under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP before.

Similarly, commit 297e21053a (KVM: Give IRQFD its own separate enabling
Kconfig option, 2014-06-30) moved code from CONFIG_HAVE_IRQ_ROUTING
to CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD but forgot to move the pieces that used to be
under CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP.

Together, this broke compilation without CONFIG_KVM_XICS.  Fix by adding
or changing the #ifdefs so that they point at CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

Page pinning is not mandatory in kvm async page fault processing since
after async page fault event is delivered to a guest it accesses page once
again and does its own GUP.  Drop the FOLL_GET flag in GUP in async_pf

- TEST SUBCHANNEL (tsch) dequeues pending interrupts in-kernel
  and exits via KVM_EXIT_S390_TSCH to userspace for subchannel-
