Takuya Yoshikawa 95d4c16ce7 KVM: Optimize dirty logging by rmap_write_protect()
Currently, write protecting a slot needs to walk all the shadow pages
and checks ones which have a pte mapping a page in it.

The walk is overly heavy when dirty pages in that slot are not so many
and checking the shadow pages would result in unwanted cache pollution.

To mitigate this problem, we use rmap_write_protect() and check only
the sptes which can be reached from gfns marked in the dirty bitmap
when the number of dirty pages are less than that of shadow pages.

This criterion is reasonable in its meaning and worked well in our test:
write protection became some times faster than before when the ratio of
dirty pages are low and was not worse even when the ratio was near the
criterion.

Note that the locking for this write protection becomes fine grained.
The reason why this is safe is descripted in the comments.

rmap_write_protect() calls gfn_to_rmap() for each level with gfn fixed.
This results in calling gfn_to_memslot() repeatedly with that gfn.

This patch introduces __gfn_to_rmap() which takes the slot as an
argument to avoid this.

This is also needed for the following dirty logging optimization.

Unfortunately, it is possible (though rare) that at this point there is valid
idt_vectoring_info in vmcs02. For example, L1 injected some interrupt to L2,
and when L2 tried to run this interrupt's handler, it got a page fault - so
it returns the original interrupt vector in idt_vectoring_info. The problem
is that if this is the case, we cannot exit to L1 with EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT
like we wished to, because the VMX spec guarantees that idt_vectoring_info
and exit_reason_external_interrupt can never happen together. This is not
just specified in the spec - a KVM L1 actually prints a kernel warning
"unexpected, valid vectoring info" if we violate this guarantee, and some
users noticed these warnings in L1's logs.

In order to better emulate a processor, which would never return the external
interrupt and the idt-vectoring-info together, we need to separate the two
injection steps: First, complete L1's injection into L2 (i.e., enter L2,
injecting to it the idt-vectoring-info); Second, after entry into L2 succeeds
and it exits back to L0, exit to L1 with the EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT.
Most of this is already in the code - the only change we need is to remain
in L2 (and not exit to L1) in this case.

Note that the previous patch ensures (by using KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT) that
although we do enter L2 first, it will exit immediately after processing its
injection, allowing us to promptly inject to L1.

Note how we test vmcs12->idt_vectoring_info_field; This isn't really the
vmcs12 value (we haven't exited to L1 yet, so vmcs12 hasn't been updated),
but rather the place we save, at the end of vmx_vcpu_run, the vmcs02 value
of this field. This was explained in patch 25 ("Correct handling of idt
vectoring info") of the original nVMX patch series.

Thanks to Dave Allan and to Federico Simoncelli for reporting this bug,
to Abel Gordon for helping me figure out the solution, and to Avi Kivity
for helping to improve it.

Nadav Har'El d6185f20a0 KVM: nVMX: Add KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT
This patch adds a new vcpu->requests bit, KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT.
This bit requests that when next entering the guest, we should run it only
for as little as possible, and exit again.

We use this new option in nested VMX: When L1 launches L2, but L0 wishes L1
to continue running so it can inject an event to it, we unfortunately cannot
just pretend to have run L2 for a little while - We must really launch L2,
otherwise certain one-off vmcs12 parameters (namely, L1 injection into L2)
will be lost. So the existing code runs L2 in this case.
But L2 could potentially run for a long time until it exits, and the
injection into L1 will be delayed. The new KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT allows us
to request that L2 will be entered, as necessary, but will exit as soon as
possible after entry.

Our implementation of this request uses smp_send_reschedule() to send a
self-IPI, with interrupts disabled. The interrupts remain disabled until the
guest is entered, and then, after the entry is complete (often including
processing an injection and jumping to the relevant handler), the physical
interrupt is noticed and causes an exit.

On recent Intel processors, we could have achieved the same goal by using
MTF instead of a self-IPI. Another technique worth considering in the future
is to use VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT and a highest-priority vector IPI - to
slightly improve performance by avoiding the useless interrupt handler
which ends up being called when smp_send_reschedule() is used.

Jan Kiszka 4d25a066b6 KVM: Don't automatically expose the TSC deadline timer in cpuid
Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set
unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants.

This is broken in several ways:
 - if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC
   deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break
 - live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline
   timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet;
   breaking it
 - guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail.

Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace.
Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee
will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.

Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature.

[avi: add the KVM_CAP + documentation]

If the x2apic mode is disabled for reasons like interrupt-remapping
not available etc, then we need to skip the logical cpu bringup of
apic-id's >= 255. Otherwise as the platform is in xapic mode, init/startup
IPI's will consider only the low 8-bits and there is a possibility of
re-sending init/startup IPI's to the logical cpu that is already online.

This will avoid potential reboots/unpredictable behavior etc.

Yinghai Lu a31bc32760 x86, x2apic: Allow "nox2apic" to disable x2apic mode setup by BIOS
Currently "nox2apic" boot parameter was not enabling x2apic mode if the cpu,
kernel are all capable of enabling x2apic mode and the OS handover
happened in xapic mode.

However If the bios enabled x2apic prior to OS handover, using "nox2apic"
boot parameter had no effect.

If the boot cpu's apicid is < 255, enable "nox2apic" boot parameter to
disable the x2apic mode setup by the bios. This will enable the kernel to
fallback to xapic mode and bringup only the cpu's which has apic-id < 255.

Yinghai Lu fb209bd891 x86, x2apic: Fallback to xapic when BIOS doesn't setup interrupt-remapping
On some of the recent Intel SNB platforms, by default bios is pre-enabling
x2apic mode in the cpu with out setting up interrupt-remapping.
This case was resulting in the kernel to panic as the cpu is already in
x2apic mode but the OS was not able to enable interrupt-remapping (which
is a pre-req for using x2apic capability).

On these platforms all the apic-ids are < 255 and the kernel can fallback to
xapic mode if the bios has not enabled interrupt-remapping (which is
mostly the case if the bios has not exported interrupt-remapping tables to the
OS).

Yinghai Lu e8524b2f43 x86, apic: Add probe() for apic_flat
Currently we start with the default apic_flat mode and switch to some other
apic model depending on the apic drivers acpi_madt_oem_check() routines and
later followed by the apic drivers probe() routines.

Once we selected non flat mode there was no case where we fall back to
flat mode again.

Upcoming changes allow bios-enabled x2apic mode to be disabled by the OS
if interrupt-remapping etc is not setup properly by the bios.

We now has a case for the apic to fall back to legacy flat mode during
apic driver probe() seqeuence. Add a simple flat_probe() which allows
the apic_flat mode to be the last fallback option.

Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the
!SMP case, likely to save space.  However, those fields still
have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef
removal from other files.  The additional size of the UP kernel
from this change is not significant enough to worry about
keeping up the distinction:

	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
	4737168	 506459	 972040	6215667	 5ed7f3	vmlinux.o.before
	4737444	 506459	 972040	6215943	 5ed907	vmlinux.o.after

for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config.

If someone wants those 276 bytes back badly then it should
be implemented in a cleaner way.

Clemens Ladisch 13f541c10b x86, dumpstack: Fix code bytes breakage due to missing KERN_CONT
When printing the code bytes in show_registers(), the markers around the

like a valid log level and facility code.  This would prevent this byte

gcc noticed (when using -Wempty-body) that our use of
lock_cmos() and unlock_cmos() in

Let's just use the standard 'do {} while (0)' solution. That
shuts up gcc and also prevents future problems if the macros
should end up being used in a similar situation elsewhere.

mce-inject provides a mechanism to simulate errors so that test

requiring any specialized hardware to create rare events.

The existing code can simulate events in normal process context

David Howells ca3d30cc02 x86_64, asm: Optimise fls(), ffs() and fls64()
fls(N), ffs(N) and fls64(N) can be optimised on x86_64.  Currently they use a
CMOV instruction after the BSR/BSF to set the destination register to -1 if the
value to be scanned was 0 (in which case BSR/BSF set the Z flag).

Instead, according to the AMD64 specification, we can make use of the fact that
BSR/BSF doesn't modify its output register if its input is 0.  By preloading
the output with -1 and incrementing the result, we achieve the desired result
without the need for a conditional check.

The Intel x86_64 specification, however, says that the result of BSR/BSF in
such a case is undefined.  That said, when queried, one of the Intel CPU
architects said that the behaviour on all Intel CPUs is that:

 (1) with BSRQ/BSFQ, the 64-bit destination register is written with its
     original value if the source is 0, thus, in essence, giving the effect we
     want.  And,

 (2) with BSRL/BSFL, the lower half of the 64-bit destination register is
     written with its original value if the source is 0, and the upper half is
     cleared, thus giving us the effect we want (we return a 4-byte int).

Further, it was indicated that they (Intel) are unlikely to get away with
changing the behaviour.

It might be possible to optimise the 32-bit versions of these functions, but
there's a lot more variation, and so the effective non-destructive property of
BSRL/BSRF cannot be relied on.

[ hpa: specifically, some 486 chips are known to NOT have this property. ]

I have benchmarked these functions on my Core2 Duo test machine using the
following program:

	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <stdio.h>

	#ifndef __x86_64__
	#error

		return bitpos + 1;
	}

	static inline unsigned long __fls(unsigned long word)
	{
		asm("bsr %1,%0"
		    : "=r" (word)
		    : "rm" (word));
		return word;
	}
	static __always_inline int old_fls64(__u64 x)

		long rep, loop;

		for (rep = 1000000; rep > 0; rep--) {
			for (loop = 0; loop <= 16384; loop += 4) {
				n = 1UL << loop;

				n = 1UL << loop;
				total += get_order_old_fls64(n);
			}
		}
		return total;
	}

	static noinline unsigned long test_get_order(void)
	{
		unsigned long n, total = 0;
		long rep, loop;

		for (rep = 1000000; rep > 0; rep--) {
			for (loop = 0; loop <= 16384; loop += 4) {
				n = 1UL << loop;
				total += get_order(n);
			}
		}
		return total;
	}

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		unsigned long total;

		switch (argc) {
		case 1:  total = test_old_get_order();		break;
		case 2:  total = test_get_order_old_fls64();	break;
		default: total = test_get_order();		break;
		}
		prevent_optimise_out = total;
		return 0;
	}

This allows me to test the use of the old fls64() implementation and the new
fls64() implementation and also to contrast these to the out-of-line loop-based
implementation of get_order().  The results were:

	warthog>time ./get_order
	real    1m37.191s
	user    1m36.313s
	sys     0m0.861s
	warthog>time ./get_order x
	real    0m16.892s
	user    0m16.586s
	sys     0m0.287s
	warthog>time ./get_order x x
	real    0m7.731s
	user    0m7.727s
	sys     0m0.002s

Using the current upstream fls64() as a basis for an inlined get_order() [the
second result above] is much faster than using the current out-of-line
loop-based get_order() [the first result above].

Using my optimised inline fls64()-based get_order() [the third result above]
is even faster still.

Ian Campbell d3db728125 xen: only limit memory map to maximum reservation for domain 0.
d312ae878b "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM"
clamped the total amount of RAM to the current maximum reservation. This is
correct for dom0 but is not correct for guest domains. In order to boot a guest
"pre-ballooned" (e.g. with memory=1G but maxmem=2G) in order to allow for
future memory expansion the guest must derive max_pfn from the e820 provided by
the toolstack and not the current maximum reservation (which can reflect only
the current maximum, not the guest lifetime max). The existing algorithm
already behaves this correctly if we do not artificially limit the maximum
number of pages for the guest case.

For a guest booted with maxmem=512, memory=128 this results in:

With this change "xl mem-set <domain> 512M" will successfully increase the

There is no change for dom0.

Jan Beulich cebef5beed x86: Fix and improve percpu_cmpxchg{8,16}b_double()
They had several problems/shortcomings:

Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the 2x32bit asm()
operands, and 2x64-bit version had a memory clobber. The first
allowed the compiler to not recognize the need to re-load the
data in case it had it cached in some register, and the second
was overly destructive.

The memory operand in the 2x32-bit asm() was declared to only be
an output.

The types of the local copies of the old and new values were
incorrect (as in other per-CPU ops, the types of the per-CPU
variables accessed should be used here, to make sure the
respective types are compatible).

The __dummy variable was pointless (and needlessly initialized
in the 2x32-bit case), given that local copies of the inputs
already exist.

The 2x64-bit variant forced the address of the first object into
%rsi, even though this is needed only for the call to the
emulation function. The real cmpxchg16b can operate on an
memory.

At once also change the return value type to what it really is -
'bool'.

Fenghua Yu 29e9bf1841 x86, mce, therm_throt: Don't report power limit and package level thermal throttle events in mcelog
Thermal throttle and power limit events are not defined as MCE errors in x86
architecture and should not generate MCE errors in mcelog.

Current kernel generates fake software defined MCE errors for these events.
This may confuse users because they may think the machine has real MCE errors
while actually only thermal throttle or power limit events happen.

To make it worse, buggy firmware on some platforms may falsely generate
the events. Therefore, kernel reports MCE errors which users think as real
hardware errors. Although the firmware bugs should be fixed, on the other hand,
kernel should not report MCE errors either.

So mcelog is not a good mechanism to report these events. To report the events, we count them in respective counters (core_power_limit_count,
package_power_limit_count, core_throttle_count, and package_throttle_count) in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/thermal_throttle/. Users can check the counters
for each event on each CPU. Please note that all CPU's on one package report
duplicate counters. It's user application's responsibity to retrieve a package
level counter for one package.

This patch doesn't report package level power limit, core level power limit, and
package level thermal throttle events in mcelog. When the events happen, only
report them in respective counters in sysfs.

Since core level thermal throttle has been legacy code in kernel for a while and
users accepted it as MCE error in mcelog, core level thermal throttle is still
reported in mcelog. In the mean time, the event is counted in a counter in sysfs
as well.

Borislav Petkov 0937195715 x86, MCE: Drain mcelog buffer
Add a function which drains whatever MCEs were logged in already during
boot and before the decoder chains were registered.

Borislav Petkov 3653ada5d3 x86, mce: Add wrappers for registering on the decode chain
No functionality change, this is done so that in a follow-on patch all
queued-up MCEs can be decoded after registering on the chain.

Borislav Petkov d733689ad5 x86, microcode, AMD: Exit early on success
Once we've found and validated the ucode patch for the current CPU,
there's no need to iterate over the remaining patches in the binary
image. Exit then and save us a bunch of cycles.

Borislav Petkov be62adb492 x86, microcode, AMD: Simplify ucode verification
Basically, what we did until now is take out a chunk of the firmware
image, vmalloc space for it and inspect it before application. And
repeat.

This patch changes all that so that we look at each ucode patch from
the firmware image, check it for sanity and copy it to local buffer for
application only once and if it passes all checks. Thus, vmalloc-ing for
each piece is gone, we can do proper size checking only of the patch
which is destined for the CPU of the current machine instead of each
single patch, which is clearly wrong.

Oh yeah, simplify and cleanup the code while at it, along with adding
comments as to what actually happens.

Borislav Petkov 96b0ee4588 x86, microcode, AMD: Add a reusable buffer
Add a simple 4K page which gets allocated on driver init and freed on
driver exit instead of vmalloc'ing small buffers for each ucode patch.

Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao 346b46be5f x86: Add per-cpu stat counter for APIC ICR read tries
In the IPI delivery slow path (NMI delivery) we retry the ICR
read to check for delivery completion a limited number of times.

[ The reason for the limited retries is that some of the places
  where it is used (cpu boot, kdump, etc) IPI delivery might not
  succeed (due to a firmware bug or system crash, for example)
  and in such a case it is better to give up and resume
  execution of other code. ]

This patch adds a new entry to /proc/interrupts, RTR, which
tells user space the number of times we retried the ICR read in
the IPI delivery slow path.

This should give some insight into how well the APIC
message delivery hardware is working - if the counts are way
too large then we are hitting a (very-) slow path way too
often.
