Nadav Amit 9d0b62328d x86/tlb: Disable interrupts when changing CR4
CR4 modifications are implemented as RMW operations which update a shadow
variable and write the result to CR4. The RMW operation is protected by
preemption disable, but there is no enforcement or debugging mechanism.

CR4 modifications happen also in interrupt context via
__native_flush_tlb_global(). This implementation does not affect a
interrupted thread context CR4 operation, because the CR4 toggle restores
the original content and does not modify the shadow variable.

So the current situation seems to be safe, but a recent patch tried to add
an actual RMW operation in interrupt context, which will cause subtle
corruptions.

To prevent that and make the CR4 handling future proof:

 - Add a lockdep assertion to __cr4_set() which will catch interrupt
   enabled invocations

 - Disable interrupts in the cr4 manipulator inlines

 - Rename cr4_toggle_bits() to cr4_toggle_bits_irqsoff(). This is called
   from __switch_to_xtra() where interrupts are already disabled and
   performance matters.

All other call sites are not performance critical, so the extra overhead of
an additional local_irq_save/restore() pair is not a problem. If new call
sites care about performance then the necessary _irqsoff() variants can be
added.

  	manipulator functions. Updated changelog ]

Nadav Amit 0c3292ca80 x86/tlb: Refactor CR4 setting and shadow write
Refactor the write to CR4 and its shadow value. This is done in
preparation for the addition of an assertion to check that IRQs are
disabled during CR4 update.

No functional change.

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.

Andy Lutomirski 4e57b94664 x86/mm: Tidy up "x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode"
Due to timezones, commit:

  b956575bed ("x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode")

was an outdated patch that well tested and fixed the bug but didn't
address Borislav's review comments.

Tidy it up:

 - The name "tlb_use_lazy_mode()" was highly confusing.  Change it to
   "tlb_defer_switch_to_init_mm()", which describes what it actually
   means.

 - Move the static_branch crap into a helper.

 - Improve comments.

Actually removing the debugfs option is in the next patch.

Andy Lutomirski b956575bed x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode
Since commit:

  94b1b03b51 ("x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB mode and TLB freshness tracking")

x86's lazy TLB mode has been all the way lazy: when running a kernel thread
(including the idle thread), the kernel keeps using the last user mm's
page tables without attempting to maintain user TLB coherence at all.

From a pure semantic perspective, this is fine -- kernel threads won't
attempt to access user pages, so having stale TLB entries doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, I forgot about a subtlety.  By skipping TLB flushes,
we also allow any paging-structure caches that may exist on the CPU
to become incoherent.  This means that we can have a
paging-structure cache entry that references a freed page table, and
the CPU is within its rights to do a speculative page walk starting
at the freed page table.

I can imagine this causing two different problems:

 - A speculative page walk starting from a bogus page table could read
   IO addresses.  I haven't seen any reports of this causing problems.

 - A speculative page walk that involves a bogus page table can install
   garbage in the TLB.  Such garbage would always be at a user VA, but
   some AMD CPUs have logic that triggers a machine check when it notices
   these bogus entries.  I've seen a couple reports of this.

Boris further explains the failure mode:

> entries are in WB DRAM:

To fix this, reinstate TLB coherence in lazy mode.  With this patch
applied, we do it in one of two ways:

 - If we have PCID, we simply switch back to init_mm's page tables
   when we enter a kernel thread -- this seems to be quite cheap
   except for the cost of serializing the CPU.

 - If we don't have PCID, then we set a flag and switch to init_mm
   the first time we would otherwise need to flush the TLB.

The /sys/kernel/debug/x86/tlb_use_lazy_mode debug switch can be changed
to override the default mode for benchmarking.

In theory, we could optimize this better by only flushing the TLB in
lazy CPUs when a page table is freed.  Doing that would require
auditing the mm code to make sure that all page table freeing goes
through tlb_remove_page() as well as reworking some data structures
to implement the improved flush logic.

Andy Lutomirski 72c0098d92 x86/mm: Reinitialize TLB state on hotplug and resume
When Linux brings a CPU down and back up, it switches to init_mm and then
loads swapper_pg_dir into CR3.  With PCID enabled, this has the side effect
of masking off the ASID bits in CR3.

This can result in some confusion in the TLB handling code.  If we
bring a CPU down and back up with any ASID other than 0, we end up
with the wrong ASID active on the CPU after resume.  This could
cause our internal state to become corrupt, although major
corruption is unlikely because init_mm doesn't have any user pages.
More obviously, if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, we'll trip over an assertion
in the next context switch.  The result of *that* is a failure to
resume from suspend with probability 1 - 1/6^(cpus-1).

Fix it by reinitializing cpu_tlbstate on resume and CPU bringup.

Andy Lutomirski 10af6235e0 x86/mm: Implement PCID based optimization: try to preserve old TLB entries using PCID
PCID is a "process context ID" -- it's what other architectures call
an address space ID.  Every non-global TLB entry is tagged with a
PCID, only TLB entries that match the currently selected PCID are
used, and we can switch PGDs without flushing the TLB.  x86's
PCID is 12 bits.

This is an unorthodox approach to using PCID.  x86's PCID is far too
short to uniquely identify a process, and we can't even really
uniquely identify a running process because there are monster
systems with over 4096 CPUs.  To make matters worse, past attempts
to use all 12 PCID bits have resulted in slowdowns instead of
speedups.

This patch uses PCID differently.  We use a PCID to identify a
recently-used mm on a per-cpu basis.  An mm has no fixed PCID
binding at all; instead, we give it a fresh PCID each time it's
loaded except in cases where we want to preserve the TLB, in which
case we reuse a recent value.

Here are some benchmark results, done on a Skylake laptop at 2.3 GHz
(turbo off, intel_pstate requesting max performance) under KVM with
the guest using idle=poll (to avoid artifacts when bouncing between
CPUs).  I haven't done any real statistics here -- I just ran them
in a loop and picked the fastest results that didn't look like
outliers.  Unpatched means commit a4eb8b9935, so all the
bookkeeping overhead is gone.

Andy Lutomirski 94b1b03b51 x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB mode and TLB freshness tracking
x86's lazy TLB mode used to be fairly weak -- it would switch to
init_mm the first time it tried to flush a lazy TLB.  This meant an
unnecessary CR3 write and, if the flush was remote, an unnecessary
IPI.

Rewrite it entirely.  When we enter lazy mode, we simply remove the
CPU from mm_cpumask.  This means that we need a way to figure out
whether we've missed a flush when we switch back out of lazy mode.
I use the tlb_gen machinery to track whether a context is up to
date.

Note to reviewers: this patch, my itself, looks a bit odd.  I'm
using an array of length 1 containing (ctx_id, tlb_gen) rather than
just storing tlb_gen, and making it at array isn't necessary yet.
I'm doing this because the next few patches add PCID support, and,
with PCID, we need ctx_id, and the array will end up with a length
greater than 1.  Making it an array now means that there will be
less churn and therefore less stress on your eyeballs.

NB: This is dubious but, AFAICT, still correct on Xen and UV.
xen_exit_mmap() uses mm_cpumask() for nefarious purposes and this
patch changes the way that mm_cpumask() works.  This should be okay,
since Xen *also* iterates all online CPUs to find all the CPUs it
needs to twiddle.

The UV tlbflush code is rather dated and should be changed.

Here are some benchmark results, done on a Skylake laptop at 2.3 GHz
(turbo off, intel_pstate requesting max performance) under KVM with
the guest using idle=poll (to avoid artifacts when bouncing between
CPUs).  I haven't done any real statistics here -- I just ran them
in a loop and picked the fastest results that didn't look like
outliers.  Unpatched means commit a4eb8b9935, so all the
bookkeeping overhead is gone.

MADV_DONTNEED; touch the page; switch CPUs using sched_setaffinity.  In
an unpatched kernel, MADV_DONTNEED will send an IPI to the previous CPU.
This is intended to be a nearly worst-case test.

  patched:         13.4µs
  unpatched:       21.6µs

Vitaly's pthread_mmap microbenchmark with 8 threads (on four cores),
nrounds = 100, 256M data

  patched:         1.1 seconds or so
  unpatched:       1.9 seconds or so

The sleepup on Vitaly's test appearss to be because it spends a lot
of time blocked on mmap_sem, and this patch avoids sending IPIs to
blocked CPUs.

Andy Lutomirski b0579ade7c x86/mm: Track the TLB's tlb_gen and update the flushing algorithm
There are two kernel features that would benefit from tracking
how up-to-date each CPU's TLB is in the case where IPIs aren't keeping
it up to date in real time:

 - Lazy mm switching currently works by switching to init_mm when
   it would otherwise flush.  This is wasteful: there isn't fundamentally
   any need to update CR3 at all when going lazy or when returning from
   lazy mode, nor is there any need to receive flush IPIs at all.  Instead,
   we should just stop trying to keep the TLB coherent when we go lazy and,
   when unlazying, check whether we missed any flushes.

 - PCID will let us keep recent user contexts alive in the TLB.  If we
   start doing this, we need a way to decide whether those contexts are
   up to date.

On some paravirt systems, remote TLBs can be flushed without IPIs.
This won't update the target CPUs' tlb_gens, which may cause
unnecessary local flushes later on.  We can address this if it becomes
a problem by carefully updating the target CPU's tlb_gen directly.

By itself, this patch is a very minor optimization that avoids
unnecessary flushes when multiple TLB flushes targetting the same CPU
race.  The complexity in this patch would not be worth it on its own,
but it will enable improved lazy TLB tracking and PCID.

Andy Lutomirski f39681ed0f x86/mm: Give each mm TLB flush generation a unique ID
This adds two new variables to mmu_context_t: ctx_id and tlb_gen.
ctx_id uniquely identifies the mm_struct and will never be reused.
For a given mm_struct (and hence ctx_id), tlb_gen is a monotonic
count of the number of times that a TLB flush has been requested.
The pair (ctx_id, tlb_gen) can be used as an identifier for TLB
flush actions and will be used in subsequent patches to reliably
determine whether all needed TLB flushes have occurred on a given
CPU.

This patch is split out for ease of review.  By itself, it has no
real effect other than creating and updating the new variables.

Andy Lutomirski 6c690ee103 x86/mm: Split read_cr3() into read_cr3_pa() and __read_cr3()
The kernel has several code paths that read CR3.  Most of them assume that
CR3 contains the PGD's physical address, whereas some of them awkwardly
use PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK to mask off low bits.

Add explicit mask macros for CR3 and convert all of the CR3 readers.
This will keep them from breaking when PCID is enabled.

Andy Lutomirski 3d28ebceaf x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB to track the actual loaded mm
Lazy TLB state is currently managed in a rather baroque manner.
AFAICT, there are three possible states:

 - Non-lazy.  This means that we're running a user thread or a
   kernel thread that has called use_mm().  current->mm ==
   current->active_mm == cpu_tlbstate.active_mm and
   cpu_tlbstate.state == TLBSTATE_OK.

 - Lazy with user mm.  We're running a kernel thread without an mm
   and we're borrowing an mm_struct.  We have current->mm == NULL,
   current->active_mm == cpu_tlbstate.active_mm, cpu_tlbstate.state
   != TLBSTATE_OK (i.e. TLBSTATE_LAZY or 0).  The current cpu is set
   in mm_cpumask(current->active_mm).  CR3 points to
   current->active_mm->pgd.  The TLB is up to date.

 - Lazy with init_mm.  This happens when we call leave_mm().  We
   have current->mm == NULL, current->active_mm ==
   cpu_tlbstate.active_mm, but that mm is only relelvant insofar as
   the scheduler is tracking it for refcounting.  cpu_tlbstate.state
   != TLBSTATE_OK.  The current cpu is clear in
   mm_cpumask(current->active_mm).  CR3 points to swapper_pg_dir,
   i.e. init_mm->pgd.

This patch simplifies the situation.  Other than perf, x86 stops
caring about current->active_mm at all.  We have
cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm pointing to the mm that CR3 references.  The
TLB is always up to date for that mm.  leave_mm() just switches us
to init_mm.  There are no longer any special cases for mm_cpumask,
and switch_mm() switches mms without worrying about laziness.

After this patch, cpu_tlbstate.state serves only to tell the TLB
flush code whether it may switch to init_mm instead of doing a
normal flush.

This makes fairly extensive changes to xen_exit_mmap(), which used
to look a bit like black magic.

Perf is unchanged.  With or without this change, perf may behave a bit
erratically if it tries to read user memory in kernel thread context.
We should build on this patch to teach perf to never look at user
memory when cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm != current->mm.

Andy Lutomirski ce4a4e565f x86/mm: Remove the UP asm/tlbflush.h code, always use the (formerly) SMP code
The UP asm/tlbflush.h generates somewhat nicer code than the SMP version.
Aside from that, it's fallen quite a bit behind the SMP code:

 - flush_tlb_mm_range() didn't flush individual pages if the range
   was small.

 - The lazy TLB code was much weaker.  This usually wouldn't matter,
   but, if a kernel thread flushed its lazy "active_mm" more than
   once (due to reclaim or similar), it wouldn't be unlazied and
   would instead pointlessly flush repeatedly.

 - Tracepoints were missing.

Aside from that, simply having the UP code around was a maintanence
burden, since it means that any change to the TLB flush code had to
make sure not to break it.

Simplify everything by deleting the UP code.

Andy Lutomirski 454bbad979 x86/mm: Refactor flush_tlb_mm_range() to merge local and remote cases
The local flush path is very similar to the remote flush path.
Merge them.

This is intended to make no difference to behavior whatsoever.  It
removes some code and will make future changes to the flushing
mechanics simpler.

This patch does remove one small optimization: flush_tlb_mm_range()
now has an unconditional smp_mb() instead of using MOV to CR3 or
INVLPG as a full barrier when applicable.  I think this is okay for
a few reasons.  First, smp_mb() is quite cheap compared to the cost
of a TLB flush.  Second, this rearrangement makes a bigger
optimization available: with some work on the SMP function call
code, we could do the local and remote flushes in parallel.  Third,
I'm planning a rework of the TLB flush algorithm that will require
an atomic operation at the beginning of each flush, and that
operation will replace the smp_mb().

Andy Lutomirski a2055abe9c x86/mm: Pass flush_tlb_info to flush_tlb_others() etc
Rather than passing all the contents of flush_tlb_info to
flush_tlb_others(), pass a pointer to the structure directly. For
consistency, this also removes the unnecessary cpu parameter from
uv_flush_tlb_others() to make its signature match the other
*flush_tlb_others() functions.

This serves two purposes:

 - It will dramatically simplify future patches that change struct
   flush_tlb_info, which I'm planning to do.

 - struct flush_tlb_info is an adequate description of what to do
   for a local flush, too, so by reusing it we can remove duplicated
   code between local and remove flushes in a future patch.

Andy Lutomirski e73ad5ff2f mm, x86/mm: Make the batched unmap TLB flush API more generic
try_to_unmap_flush() used to open-code a rather x86-centric flush
sequence: local_flush_tlb() + flush_tlb_others().  Rearrange the
code so that the arch (only x86 for now) provides
arch_tlbbatch_add_mm() and arch_tlbbatch_flush() and the core code
calls those functions instead.

I'll want this for x86 because, to enable address space ids, I can't
support the flush_tlb_others() mode used by exising
try_to_unmap_flush() implementation with good performance.  I can
support the new API fairly easily, though.

I imagine that other architectures may be in a similar position.
Architectures with strong remote flush primitives (arm64?) may have
even worse performance problems with flush_tlb_others() the way that
try_to_unmap_flush() uses it.

Andy Lutomirski ca6c99c079 x86/mm: Reimplement flush_tlb_page() using flush_tlb_mm_range()
flush_tlb_page() was very similar to flush_tlb_mm_range() except that
it had a couple of issues:

 - It was missing an smp_mb() in the case where
   current->active_mm != mm.  (This is a longstanding bug reported by Nadav Amit)

 - It was missing tracepoints and vm counter updates.

The only reason that I can see for keeping it at as a separate
function is that it could avoid a few branches that
flush_tlb_mm_range() needs to decide to flush just one page.  This
hardly seems worthwhile.  If we decide we want to get rid of those
branches again, a better way would be to introduce an
__flush_tlb_mm_range() helper and make both flush_tlb_page() and
flush_tlb_mm_range() use it.

Daniel Borkmann 2c4ea6e28d x86/tlb: Fix tlb flushing when lguest clears PGE
Fengguang reported random corruptions from various locations on x86-32
after commits d2852a2240 ("arch: add ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY config") and
9d876e79df ("bpf: fix unlocking of jited image when module ronx not set")
that uses the former. While x86-32 doesn't have a JIT like x86_64, the
bpf_prog_lock_ro() and bpf_prog_unlock_ro() got enabled due to
ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY, whereas Fengguang's test kernel doesn't have module
support built in and therefore never had the DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX setting
enabled.

After investigating the crashes further, it turned out that using
set_memory_ro() and set_memory_rw() didn't have the desired effect, for
example, setting the pages as read-only on x86-32 would still let
probe_kernel_write() succeed without error. This behavior would manifest
itself in situations where the vmalloc'ed buffer was accessed prior to
set_memory_*() such as in case of bpf_prog_alloc(). In cases where it
wasn't, the page attribute changes seemed to have taken effect, leading to
the conclusion that a TLB invalidate didn't happen. Moreover, it turned out
that this issue reproduced with qemu in "-cpu kvm64" mode, but not for
"-cpu host". When the issue occurs, change_page_attr_set_clr() did trigger
a TLB flush as expected via __flush_tlb_all() through cpa_flush_range(),
though.

There are 3 variants for issuing a TLB flush: invpcid_flush_all() (depends
on CPU feature bits X86_FEATURE_INVPCID, X86_FEATURE_PGE), cr4 based flush
(depends on X86_FEATURE_PGE), and cr3 based flush.  For "-cpu host" case in
my setup, the flush used invpcid_flush_all() variant, whereas for "-cpu
kvm64", the flush was cr4 based. Switching the kvm64 case to cr3 manually
worked fine, and further investigating the cr4 one turned out that
X86_CR4_PGE bit was not set in cr4 register, meaning the
__native_flush_tlb_global_irq_disabled() wrote cr4 twice with the same
value instead of clearing X86_CR4_PGE in the first write to trigger the
flush.

It turned out that X86_CR4_PGE was cleared from cr4 during init from
lguest_arch_host_init() via adjust_pge(). The X86_FEATURE_PGE bit is also
cleared from there due to concerns of using PGE in guest kernel that can
lead to hard to trace bugs (see bff672e630 ("lguest: documentation V:
Host") in init()). The CPU feature bits are cleared in dynamic
boot_cpu_data, but they never propagated to __flush_tlb_all() as it uses
static_cpu_has() instead of boot_cpu_has() for testing which variant of TLB
flushing to use, meaning they still used the old setting of the host
kernel.

Clearing via setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_PGE) so this would propagate
to static_cpu_has() checks is too late at this point as sections have been
patched already, so for now, it seems reasonable to switch back to
boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PGE) as it was prior to commit c109bf9599
("x86/cpufeature: Remove cpu_has_pge"). This lets the TLB flush trigger via
cr3 as originally intended, properly makes the new page attributes visible
and thus fixes the crashes seen by Fengguang.

Andy Lutomirski 1ef55be16e x86/asm: Get rid of __read_cr4_safe()
We use __read_cr4() vs __read_cr4_safe() inconsistently.  On
CR4-less CPUs, all CR4 bits are effectively clear, so we can make
the code simpler and more robust by making __read_cr4() always fix
up faults on 32-bit kernels.

This may fix some bugs on old 486-like CPUs, but I don't have any
easy way to test that.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 5cf0791da5 x86/mm: Disable preemption during CR3 read+write
There's a subtle preemption race on UP kernels:

Usually current->mm (and therefore mm->pgd) stays the same during the
lifetime of a task so it does not matter if a task gets preempted during
the read and write of the CR3.

But then, there is this scenario on x86-UP:

TaskA is in do_exit() and exit_mm() sets current->mm = NULL followed by:

 -> mmput()
 -> exit_mmap()
 -> tlb_finish_mmu()
 -> tlb_flush_mmu()
 -> tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly()
 -> tlb_flush()
 -> flush_tlb_mm_range()
 -> __flush_tlb_up()
 -> __flush_tlb()
 ->  __native_flush_tlb()

At this point current->mm is NULL but current->active_mm still points to
the "old" mm.

Let's preempt taskA _after_ native_read_cr3() by taskB. TaskB has its
own mm so CR3 has changed.

Now preempt back to taskA. TaskA has no ->mm set so it borrows taskB's
mm and so CR3 remains unchanged. Once taskA gets active it continues
where it was interrupted and that means it writes its old CR3 value
back. Everything is fine because userland won't need its memory
anymore.

Now the fun part:

Let's preempt taskA one more time and get back to taskB. This
time switch_mm() won't do a thing because oldmm (->active_mm)
is the same as mm (as per context_switch()). So we remain
with a bad CR3 / PGD and return to userland.

The next thing that happens is handle_mm_fault() with an address for
the execution of its code in userland. handle_mm_fault() realizes that
it has a PTE with proper rights so it returns doing nothing. But the
CPU looks at the wrong PGD and insists that something is wrong and
faults again. And again. And one more time…

This pagefault circle continues until the scheduler gets tired of it and
puts another task on the CPU. It gets little difficult if the task is a
RT task with a high priority. The system will either freeze or it gets
fixed by the software watchdog thread which usually runs at RT-max prio.
But waiting for the watchdog will increase the latency of the RT task
which is no good.

Fix this by disabling preemption across the critical code section.

Nadav Amit 858eaaa711 mm/rmap: batched invalidations should use existing api
The recently introduced batched invalidations mechanism uses its own
mechanism for shootdown.  However, it does wrong accounting of
interrupts (e.g., inc_irq_stat is called for local invalidations),
trace-points (e.g., TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN for local invalidations) and
may break some platforms as it bypasses the invalidation mechanisms of
Xen and SGI UV.

This patch reuses the existing TLB flushing mechnaisms instead.  We use
NULL as mm to indicate a global invalidation is required.

Borislav Petkov e2c7698cd6 x86/mm: Fix INVPCID asm constraint
So we want to specify the dependency on both @pcid and @addr so that the
compiler doesn't reorder accesses to them *before* the TLB flush. But
for that to work, we need to express this properly in the inline asm and
deref the whole desc array, not the pointer to it. See clwb() for an
example.

This fixes the build error on 32-bit:

  arch/x86/include/asm/tlbflush.h: In function ‘__invpcid’:
  arch/x86/include/asm/tlbflush.h:26:18: error: memory input 0 is not directly addressable

which gcc4.7 caught but 5.x didn't. Which is strange. :-\

Mel Gorman 72b252aed5 mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages
An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs.  There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.

On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high.  This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped.  When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.

Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.

        If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
        architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
        from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.

This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting.  The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry.  An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required.  It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.

The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure.  The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite.  The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time.  From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.

The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.

The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages.  It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes.  Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

Andy Lutomirski 1e02ce4ccc x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4
Context switches and TLB flushes can change individual bits of CR4.
CR4 reads take several cycles, so store a shadow copy of CR4 in a
per-cpu variable.

To avoid wasting a cache line, I added the CR4 shadow to
cpu_tlbstate, which is already touched in switch_mm.  The heaviest
users of the cr4 shadow will be switch_mm and __switch_to_xtra, and
__switch_to_xtra is called shortly after switch_mm during context
switch, so the cacheline is likely to be hot.

the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code,
which only a small subset of users actually wanted.

This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4
exactly the way they found it with new helpers cr4_set_bits,
cr4_clear_bits, and cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot.

Bisection between 3.11 and 3.12 fingered commit 9824cf97 ("mm:
vmstats: tlb flush counters") to cause overhead problems.

The counters are undeniably useful but how often do we really
need to debug TLB flush related issues?  It does not justify
taking the penalty everywhere so make it a debugging option.

Dave Hansen 6df46865ff mm: vmstats: track TLB flush stats on UP too
The previous patch doing vmstats for TLB flushes ("mm: vmstats: tlb flush
counters") effectively missed UP since arch/x86/mm/tlb.c is only compiled
for SMP.

UP systems do not do remote TLB flushes, so compile those counters out on
UP.

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c calls __flush_tlb() directly.  This is
probably an optimization since both the mtrr code and __flush_tlb() write
cr4.  It would probably be safe to make that a flush_tlb_all() (and then
get these statistics), but the mtrr code is ancient and I'm hesitant to
touch it other than to just stick in the counters.

Alex Shi effee4b9b3 x86/tlb: do flush_tlb_kernel_range by 'invlpg'
This patch do flush_tlb_kernel_range by 'invlpg'. The performance pay
and gain was analyzed in previous patch
(x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range).

In the testing: http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/21/10

The pay is mostly covered by long kernel path, but the gain is still
quite clear, memory access in user APP can increase 30+% when kernel
execute this funtion.

Alex Shi 611ae8e3f5 x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86
Not every tlb_flush execution moment is really need to evacuate all
TLB entries, like in munmap, just few 'invlpg' is better for whole
process performance, since it leaves most of TLB entries for later
accessing.

This patch also rewrite flush_tlb_range for 2 purposes:
1, split it out to get flush_blt_mm_range function.
2, clean up to reduce line breaking, thanks for Borislav's input.

My micro benchmark 'mummap' http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59
show that the random memory access on other CPU has 0~50% speed up
on a 2P * 4cores * HT NHM EP while do 'munmap'.

Thanks Yongjie's testing on this patch:
-------------
I used Linux 3.4-RC6 w/ and w/o his patches as Xen dom0 and guest
kernel.
After running two benchmarks in Xen HVM guest, I found his patches
brought about 1%~3% performance gain in 'kernel build' and 'netperf'
testing, though the performance gain was not very stable in 'kernel
build' testing.

Some detailed testing results are below.

Testing Environment:
	Hardware: Romley-EP platform
	Xen version: latest upstream
	Linux kernel: 3.4-RC6
	Guest vCPU number: 8
	NIC: Intel 82599 (10GB bandwidth)

In 'kernel build' testing in guest:
	Command line  |  performance gain
    make -j 4      |    3.81%
    make -j 8      |    0.37%
    make -j 16     |    -0.52%

In 'netperf' testing, we tested TCP_STREAM with default socket size
16384 byte as large packet and 64 byte as small packet.
I used several clients to add networking pressure, then 'netperf' server
automatically generated several threads to response them.
I also used large-size packet and small-size packet in the testing.
	Packet size  |  Thread number | performance gain
	16384 bytes  |      4       |   0.02%
	16384 bytes  |      8       |   2.21%
	16384 bytes  |      16      |   2.04%
	64 bytes     |      4       |   1.07%
	64 bytes     |      8       |   3.31%
	64 bytes     |      16      |   0.71%

Alex Shi e7b52ffd45 x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range
x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.

But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.

So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
	(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
		X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)

Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.

But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.

As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.

My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.

Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP
'always':

multi thread testing, '-t' paramter is thread number:
	       	        with patch   unpatched 3.4-rc4
./mprotect -t 1           14ns		24ns
./mprotect -t 2           13ns		22ns
./mprotect -t 4           12ns		19ns
./mprotect -t 8           14ns		16ns

./mprotect -t 32          54ns		51ns
./mprotect -t 128         200ns		199ns

		       	with patch   unpatched 3.4-rc4

./mprotect -p 4096  -l 8 -n 10240
