This patch adds a kvm debugfs subdirectory for each VM, which is named
after its pid and file descriptor. The directories contain the same
kind of files that are already in the kvm debugfs directory, but the
data exported through them is now VM specific.
This makes the debugfs kvm data a convenient alternative to the
tracepoints which already have per VM data. The debugfs data is easy
to read and low overhead.

commit 3491caf275 ("KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify
wakeups during poll") added more aggressive shrinking of the
polling interval if the wakeup did not match some criteria. This
still allows to keep polling enabled if the polling time was
smaller that the current max poll time (block_ns <= vcpu->halt_poll_ns).
Performance measurement shows that even more aggressive shrinking
(shrink polling on any invalid wakeup) reduces absolute and relative
(to the workload) CPU usage even further.

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.

The KVM_MAX_VCPUS define provides the maximum number of vCPUs per guest, and
also the upper limit for vCPU ids. This is okay for all archs except PowerPC
which can have higher ids, depending on the cpu/core/thread topology. In the
worst case (single threaded guest, host with 8 threads per core), it limits
the maximum number of vCPUS to KVM_MAX_VCPUS / 8.
This patch separates the vCPU numbering from the total number of vCPUs, with
the introduction of KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID, as the maximal valid value for vCPU ids
plus one.
The corresponding KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID allows userspace to validate vCPU ids
before passing them to KVM_CREATE_VCPU.
This patch only implements KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID with a specific value for PowerPC.
Other archs continue to return KVM_MAX_VCPUS instead.

However, it also helps fixing a preexisting problem, which is why this
patch is also good for stable kernels: kvm_create_vm was incrementing
current->mm->mm_count but not decrementing it at the out_err label (in
case kvm_init_mmu_notifier failed). The new initialization order makes
it possible to add the required mmdrop without adding a new error label.

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

The problem:
On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:
1) hard interrupt
2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
4) vcpu thread is scheduled
This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
LAPIC path for a KVM guest.
The solution:
Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.
Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
is not allowed from hard interrupt context.

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory,
PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into
userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings
to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate
DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory.
The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into
4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned
and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after
mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via
devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus
page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type.
The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the
resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new
_PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys
off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active.
Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references
against the device driver established page mapping.
Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires
memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a
large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a
mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new
"struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables
arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page
allocator.
This patch (of 18):
The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1]. Move the existing
pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

KVM creates debugfs files to export VM statistics to userland. To be
able to remove them on kvm exit it tracks the files' dentries.
Since their parent directory is also tracked and since each parent
direntry knows its children we can easily remove them by using
debugfs_remove_recursive(kvm_debugfs_dir). Therefore we don't
need the extra tracking in the kvm_stats_debugfs_item anymore.

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

In the scope of the idle memory tracking feature, which is introduced by
the following patch, we need to clear the referenced/accessed bit not only
in primary, but also in secondary ptes. The latter is required in order
to estimate wss of KVM VMs. At the same time we want to avoid flushing
tlb, because it is quite expensive and it won't really affect the final
result.
Currently, there is no function for clearing pte young bit that would meet
our requirements, so this patch introduces one. To achieve that we have
to add a new mmu-notifier callback, clear_young, since there is no method
for testing-and-clearing a secondary pte w/o flushing tlb. The new method
is not mandatory and currently only implemented by KVM.

There is a downside of always-poll since poll is still happened for idle
vCPUs which can waste cpu usage. This patchset add the ability to adjust
halt_poll_ns dynamically, to grow halt_poll_ns when shot halt is detected,
and to shrink halt_poll_ns when long halt is detected.
There are two new kernel parameters for changing the halt_poll_ns:
halt_poll_ns_grow and halt_poll_ns_shrink.
no-poll always-poll dynamic-poll
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Idle (nohz) vCPU %c0 0.15% 0.3% 0.2%
Idle (250HZ) vCPU %c0 1.1% 4.6%~14% 1.2%
TCP_RR latency 34us 27us 26.7us
"Idle (X) vCPU %c0" is the percent of time the physical cpu spent in
c0 over 60 seconds (each vCPU is pinned to a pCPU). (nohz) means the
guest was tickless. (250HZ) means the guest was ticking at 250HZ.
The big win is with ticking operating systems. Running the linux guest
with nohz=off (and HZ=250), we save 3.4%~12.8% CPUs/second and get close
to no-polling overhead levels by using the dynamic-poll. The savings
should be even higher for higher frequency ticks.

Commit 1cde2930e1 ("sched/preempt: Add static_key() to preempt_notifiers")
had two problems. First, the preempt-notifier API needs to sleep with the
addition of the static_key, we do however need to hold off preemption
while modifying the preempt notifier list, otherwise a preemption could
observe an inconsistent list state. KVM correctly registers and
unregisters preempt notifiers with preemption disabled, so the sleep
caused dmesg splats.
Second, KVM registers and unregisters preemption notifiers very often
(in vcpu_load/vcpu_put). With a single uniprocessor guest the static key
would move between 0 and 1 continuously, hitting the slow path on every
userspace exit.
To fix this, wrap the static_key inc/dec in a new API, and call it from
KVM.

We need to hide SMRAM from guests not running in SMM. Therefore, all
uses of kvm_read_guest* and kvm_write_guest* must be changed to use
different address spaces, depending on whether the VCPU is in system
management mode. We need to introduce a new family of functions for
this purpose.
For now, the VCPU-based functions have the same behavior as the
existing per-VM ones, they just accept a different type for the
first argument. Later however they will be changed to use one of many
"struct kvm_memslots" stored in struct kvm, through an architecture hook.
VM-based functions will unconditionally use the first memslots pointer.
Whenever possible, this patch introduces slot-based functions with an
__ prefix, with two wrappers for generic and vcpu-based actions.
The exceptions are kvm_read_guest and kvm_write_guest, which are copied
into the new functions kvm_vcpu_read_guest and kvm_vcpu_write_guest.

This lets the function access the new memory slot without going through

Unfortunately, the "const"ness of the new argument must be casted

This creates a debugfs directory for each HV guest (assuming debugfs
is enabled in the kernel config), and within that directory, a file
by which the contents of the guest's HPT (hashed page table) can be
read. The directory is named vmnnnn, where nnnn is the PID of the
process that created the guest. The file is named "htab". This is
intended to help in debugging problems in the host's management
of guest memory.
The contents of the file consist of a series of lines like this:
3f48 4000d032bf003505 0000000bd7ff1196 00000003b5c71196
The first field is the index of the entry in the HPT, the second and
third are the HPT entry, so the third entry contains the real page
number that is mapped by the entry if the entry's valid bit is set.
The fourth field is the guest's view of the second doubleword of the
entry, so it contains the guest physical address. (The format of the
second through fourth fields are described in the Power ISA and also
in arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu-hash64.h.)

iodev.h contains definitions for the kvm_io_bus framework. This is
needed both by the generic KVM code in virt/kvm as well as by
architecture specific code under arch/. Putting the header file in
virt/kvm and using local includes in the architecture part seems at
least dodgy to me, so let's move the file into include/kvm, so that a
more natural "#include <kvm/iodev.h>" can be used by all of the code.
This also solves a problem later when using struct kvm_io_device
in arm_vgic.h.

When all bits in mask are not set,
kvm_arch_mmu_enable_log_dirty_pt_masked() has nothing to do. But since
it needs to be called from the generic code, it cannot be inlined, and
a few function calls, two when PML is enabled, are wasted.
Since it is common to see many pages remain clean, e.g. framebuffers can
stay calm for a long time, it is worth eliminating this overhead.

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.

Modifying a non-existent slot is not allowed. Also check that the

Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
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.

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.

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.

Current linear search doesn't scale well when

Taking in account that memslots don't overlap, it's
possible to switch sorting order of memslots array from
'npages' to 'base_gfn' and use binary search for
memslot lookup by GFN.
As result of switching to binary search lookup times
are reduced with large amount of memslots.

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.

Now that ia64 is gone, we can hide deprecated device assignment in x86.
Notable changes:
- kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device() was moved to x86/kvm_arch_vm_ioctl()
The easy parts were removed from generic kvm code, remaining
- kvm_iommu_(un)map_pages() would require new code to be moved
- struct kvm_assigned_dev_kernel depends on struct kvm_irq_ack_notifier

ia64 does not need them anymore. Ack notifiers become x86-specific
too.

The update_memslots invocation is only needed in one case. Make
the code clearer by moving it to __kvm_set_memory_region, and
removing the wrapper around insert_memslot.

The two kmemdup invocations can be unified. I find that the new
placement of the comment makes it easier to see what happens.

This completes the optimization from the previous patch, by
removing the KVM_MEM_SLOTS_NUM-iteration loop from insert_memslot.

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.
