it will be vmalloc-ed when its size is more then a page.

Paolo Bonzini dc9be0fac7 kvm: move advertising of KVM_CAP_IRQFD to common code
POWER supports irqfds but forgot to advertise them.  Some userspace does
not check for the capability, but others check it---thus they work on
x86 and s390 but not POWER.

To avoid that other architectures in the future make the same mistake, let
common code handle KVM_CAP_IRQFD the same way as KVM_CAP_IRQFD_RESAMPLE.

Linus Torvalds b9085bcbf5 Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.
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.

Paolo Bonzini efbeec7098 kvm: fix sorting of memslots with base_gfn == 0
Before commit 0e60b0799f (kvm: change memslot sorting rule from size
to GFN, 2014-12-01), the memslots' sorting key was npages, meaning
that a valid memslot couldn't have its sorting key equal to zero.
On the other hand, a valid memslot can have base_gfn == 0, and invalid
memslots are identified by base_gfn == npages == 0.

Because of this, commit 0e60b0799f broke the invariant that invalid
memslots are at the end of the mslots array.  When a memslot with
base_gfn == 0 was created, any invalid memslot before it were left
in place.

This can be fixed by changing the insertion to use a ">=" comparison
instead of "<=", but some care is needed to avoid breaking the case
of deleting a memslot; see the comment in update_memslots.

Thanks to Tiejun Chen for posting an initial patch for this bug.

Christian Borntraeger 7a72f7a140 KVM: track pid for VCPU only on KVM_RUN ioctl
We currently track the pid of the task that runs the VCPU in vcpu_load.
If a yield to that VCPU is triggered while the PID of the wrong thread
is active, the wrong thread might receive a yield, but this will most
likely not help the executing thread at all.  Instead, if we only track
the pid on the KVM_RUN ioctl, there are two possibilities:

1) the thread that did a non-KVM_RUN ioctl is holding a mutex that
the VCPU thread is waiting for.  In this case, the VCPU thread is not
runnable, but we also do not do a wrong yield.

2) the thread that did a non-KVM_RUN ioctl is sleeping, or doing
something that does not block the VCPU thread.  In this case, the
VCPU thread can receive the directed yield correctly.

David Hildenbrand eed6e79d73 KVM: don't check for PF_VCPU when yielding
kvm_enter_guest() has to be called with preemption disabled and will
set PF_VCPU.  Current code takes PF_VCPU as a hint that the VCPU thread
is running and therefore needs no yield.

However, the check on PF_VCPU is wrong on s390, where preemption has
to stay enabled in order to correctly process page faults.  Thus,
s390 reenables preemption and starts to execute the guest.  The thread
might be scheduled out between kvm_enter_guest() and kvm_exit_guest(),
resulting in PF_VCPU being set but not being run.  When this happens,
the opportunity for directed yield is missed.

However, this check is done already in kvm_vcpu_on_spin before calling
kvm_vcpu_yield_loop:

        if (!ACCESS_ONCE(vcpu->preempted))
                continue;

so the check on PF_VCPU is superfluous in general, and this patch
removes it.

Igor Mammedov 9c1a5d3878 kvm: optimize GFN to memslot lookup with large slots amount
Current linear search doesn't scale well when
large amount of memslots is used and looked up slot

Taking in account that memslots don't overlap, it's
possible to switch sorting order of memslots array from

memslot lookup by GFN.

As result of switching to binary search lookup times
are reduced with large amount of memslots.

Ard Biesheuvel bf4bea8e9a kvm: fix kvm_is_mmio_pfn() and rename to kvm_is_reserved_pfn()
This reverts commit 85c8555ff0 ("KVM: check for !is_zero_pfn() in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") and renames the function to kvm_is_reserved_pfn.

The problem being addressed by the patch above was that some ARM code
based the memory mapping attributes of a pfn on the return value of
kvm_is_mmio_pfn(), whose name indeed suggests that such pfns should
be mapped as device memory.

However, kvm_is_mmio_pfn() doesn't do quite what it says on the tin,
and the existing non-ARM users were already using it in a way which
suggests that its name should probably have been 'kvm_is_reserved_pfn'
from the beginning, e.g., whether or not to call get_page/put_page on
it etc. This means that returning false for the zero page is a mistake
and the patch above should be reverted.

Igor Mammedov 063584d443 kvm: memslots: replace heap sort with an insertion sort pass
memslots is a sorted array.  When a slot is changed, heapsort (lib/sort.c)
would take O(n log n) time to update it; an optimized insertion sort will
only cost O(n) on an array with just one item out of order.

Replace sort() with a custom sort that takes advantage of memslots usage
pattern and the known position of the changed slot.

performance change of 128 memslots insertions with gradually increasing
size (the worst case):

      heap sort   custom sort
max:  249747      2500 cycles

with custom sort alg taking ~98% less then original
update time.

Wanpeng Li 571ee1b685 kvm: vfio: fix unregister kvm_device_ops of vfio
After commit 80ce163 (KVM: VFIO: register kvm_device_ops dynamically),
kvm_device_ops of vfio can be registered dynamically. Commit 3c3c29fd
(kvm-vfio: do not use module_init) move the dynamic register invoked by
kvm_init in order to fix broke unloading of the kvm module. However,
kvm_device_ops of vfio is unregistered after rmmod kvm-intel module
which lead to device type collision detection warning after kvm-intel
module reinsmod.

Andres Lagar-Cavilla 5712846808 kvm: Fix page ageing bugs
1. We were calling clear_flush_young_notify in unmap_one, but we are
within an mmu notifier invalidate range scope. The spte exists no more
(due to range_start) and the accessed bit info has already been
propagated (due to kvm_pfn_set_accessed). Simply call
clear_flush_young.

2. We clear_flush_young on a primary MMU PMD, but this may be mapped
as a collection of PTEs by the secondary MMU (e.g. during log-dirty).
This required expanding the interface of the clear_flush_young mmu
notifier, so a lot of code has been trivially touched.

3. In the absence of shadow_accessed_mask (e.g. EPT A bit), we emulate
the access bit by blowing the spte. This requires proper synchronizing
with MMU notifier consumers, like every other removal of spte's does.

David Matlack 2ea75be321 kvm: don't take vcpu mutex for obviously invalid vcpu ioctls
vcpu ioctls can hang the calling thread if issued while a vcpu is running.
However, invalid ioctls can happen when userspace tries to probe the kind
of file descriptors (e.g. isatty() calls ioctl(TCGETS)); in that case,
we know the ioctl is going to be rejected as invalid anyway and we can
fail before trying to take the vcpu mutex.

This patch does not change functionality, it just makes invalid ioctls
fail faster.

Andres Lagar-Cavilla 234b239bea kvm: Faults which trigger IO release the mmap_sem
When KVM handles a tdp fault it uses FOLL_NOWAIT. If the guest memory
has been swapped out or is behind a filemap, this will trigger async
readahead and return immediately. The rationale is that KVM will kick
back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other
guest process to take over.

If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async
workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In
either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will
block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users
now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency.

This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the
fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case
of IO wait.

/me got confused between the kernel and QEMU.  In the kernel, you can
only have one module_init function, and it will prevent unloading the

function and no module_exit.

Repair it by making kvm_vfio_ops_init weak, and checking it in

David Matlack ee3d1570b5 kvm: fix potentially corrupt mmio cache
vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the
vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible
for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit.

If we increment the memslot generation number again after
synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation
without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit.
And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference
of the current memslots during each exit.

We can prevent the following case:

   vcpu (CPU 0)                             | thread (CPU 1)

By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers,
we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon
after (8).

Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we
do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to
install_new_memslots.  It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately,
instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited,
which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted
right after synchronize_srcu() returns.

To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the
low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number
out of an SPTE.  This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during
the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited.  Using the low bit this way is
somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and
instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.

Paolo Bonzini 00f034a12f KVM: do not bias the generation number in kvm_current_mmio_generation
The next patch will give a meaning (a la seqcount) to the low bit of the
generation number.  Ensure that it matches between kvm->memslots->generation
and kvm_current_mmio_generation().
