Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "4.11 is going to be a relatively large release for KVM, with a little over 200 commits and noteworthy changes for most architectures. ARM: - GICv3 save/restore - cache flushing fixes - working MSI injection for GICv3 ITS - physical timer emulation MIPS: - various improvements under the hood - support for SMP guests - a large rewrite of MMU emulation. KVM MIPS can now use MMU notifiers to support copy-on-write, KSM, idle page tracking, swapping, ballooning and everything else. KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM is also supported, so that writes to some memory regions can be treated as MMIO. The new MMU also paves the way for hardware virtualization support. PPC: - support for POWER9 using the radix-tree MMU for host and guest - resizable hashed page table - bugfixes. s390: - expose more features to the guest - more SIMD extensions - instruction execution protection - ESOP2 x86: - improved hashing in the MMU - faster PageLRU tracking for Intel CPUs without EPT A/D bits - some refactoring of nested VMX entry/exit code, preparing for live migration support of nested hypervisors - expose yet another AVX512 CPUID bit - host-to-guest PTP support - refactoring of interrupt injection, with some optimizations thrown in and some duct tape removed. - remove lazy FPU handling - optimizations of user-mode exits - optimizations of vcpu_is_preempted() for KVM guests generic: - alternative signaling mechanism that doesn't pound on tsk->sighand->siglock" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (195 commits) x86/kvm: Provide optimized version of vcpu_is_preempted() for x86-64 x86/paravirt: Change vcp_is_preempted() arg type to long KVM: VMX: use correct vmcs_read/write for guest segment selector/base x86/kvm/vmx: Defer TR reload after VM exit x86/asm/64: Drop __cacheline_aligned from struct x86_hw_tss x86/kvm/vmx: Simplify segment_base() x86/kvm/vmx: Get rid of segment_base() on 64-bit kernels x86/kvm/vmx: Don't fetch the TSS base from the GDT x86/asm: Define the kernel TSS limit in a macro kvm: fix page struct leak in handle_vmon KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Disable HPT resizing on POWER9 for now KVM: Return an error code only as a constant in kvm_get_dirty_log() KVM: Return an error code only as a constant in kvm_get_dirty_log_protect() KVM: Return directly after a failed copy_from_user() in kvm_vm_compat_ioctl() KVM: x86: remove code for lazy FPU handling KVM: race-free exit from KVM_RUN without POSIX signals KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Turn "KVM guest htab" message into a debug message KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Ratelimit copy data failure error messages KVM: Support vCPU-based gfn->hva cache KVM: use separate generations for each address space ...

2017-02-21x86/paravirt: Change vcp_is_preempted() arg type to longWaiman Long2-2/+2
The cpu argument in the function prototype of vcpu_is_preempted() is changed from int to long. That makes it easier to provide a better optimized assembly version of that function. For Xen, vcpu_is_preempted(long) calls xen_vcpu_stolen(int), the downcast from long to int is not a problem as vCPU number won't exceed 32 bits.

2017-02-21x86/kvm/vmx: Defer TR reload after VM exitAndy Lutomirski1-0/+48
Intel's VMX is daft and resets the hidden TSS limit register to 0x67 on VMX reload, and the 0x67 is not configurable. KVM currently reloads TR using the LTR instruction on every exit, but this is quite slow because LTR is serializing. The 0x67 limit is entirely harmless unless ioperm() is in use, so defer the reload until a task using ioperm() is actually running. Here's some poorly done benchmarking using kvm-unit-tests: Before: cpuid 1313 vmcall 1195 mov_from_cr8 11 mov_to_cr8 17 inl_from_pmtimer 6770 inl_from_qemu 6856 inl_from_kernel 2435 outl_to_kernel 1402 After: cpuid 1291 vmcall 1181 mov_from_cr8 11 mov_to_cr8 16 inl_from_pmtimer 6457 inl_from_qemu 6209 inl_from_kernel 2339 outl_to_kernel 1391 Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> [Force-reload TR in invalidate_tss_limit. - Paolo] Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2017-02-21x86/asm/64: Drop __cacheline_aligned from struct x86_hw_tssAndy Lutomirski1-1/+1
Historically, the entire TSS + io bitmap structure was cacheline aligned, but commit ca241c75037b ("x86: unify tss_struct") changed it (presumably inadvertently) so that the fixed-layout hardware part is cacheline-aligned and the io bitmap is after the padding. This wastes 24 bytes (the hardware part should be 104 bytes, but this pads it to 128 bytes) and, serves no purpose, and causes sizeof(struct x86_hw_tss) to have a confusing value. Drop the pointless alignment. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2017-02-14xen/privcmd: Add IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OPPaul Durrant1-0/+7
Recently a new dm_op[1] hypercall was added to Xen to provide a mechanism for restricting device emulators (such as QEMU) to a limited set of hypervisor operations, and being able to audit those operations in the kernel of the domain in which they run. This patch adds IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP as gateway for __HYPERVISOR_dm_op. NOTE: There is no requirement for user-space code to bounce data through locked memory buffers (as with IOCTL_PRIVCMD_HYPERCALL) since privcmd has enough information to lock the original buffers directly.

The new Xen PVH entry point requires page tables to be setup by the kernel since it is entered with paging disabled. Pull the common code out of head_32.S so that mk_early_pgtbl_32() can be invoked from both the new Xen entry point and the existing startup_32() code. Convert resulting common code to C.

2017-02-07efi: Get and store the secure boot statusDavid Howells1-1/+2
Get the firmware's secure-boot status in the kernel boot wrapper and stash it somewhere that the main kernel image can find. The efi_get_secureboot() function is extracted from the ARM stub and (a) generalised so that it can be called from x86 and (b) made to use efi_call_runtime() so that it can be run in mixed-mode. For x86, it is stored in boot_params and can be overridden by the boot loader or kexec. This allows secure-boot mode to be passed on to a new kernel.

2017-02-05x86/CPU/AMD: Bring back Compute Unit IDBorislav Petkov1-0/+1
Commit: a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology") restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some shared functionality. Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on v4.9.5. That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a different CU through the caches. When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.

2017-02-04x86/elf: Add HWCAP2 to expose ring 3 MONITOR/MWAITGrzegorz Andrejczuk2-0/+16
Introduce ELF_HWCAP2 variable for x86 and reserve its bit 0 to expose the ring 3 MONITOR/MWAIT. HWCAP variables contain bitmasks which can be used by userspace applications to detect which instruction sets are supported by CPU. On x86 architecture information about CPU capabilities can be checked via CPUID instructions, unfortunately presence of ring 3 MONITOR/MWAIT feature cannot be checked this way. ELF_HWCAP cannot be used as well, because on x86 it is set to CPUID[1].EDX which means that all bits are reserved there. HWCAP2 approach was chosen because it reuses existing solution present in other architectures, so only minor modifications are required to the kernel and userspace applications. When ELF_HWCAP2 is defined kernel maps it to AT_HWCAP2 during the start of the application. This way the ring 3 MONITOR/MWAIT feature can be detected using getauxval() API in a simple and fast manner. ELF_HWCAP2 type is u32 to be consistent with x86 ELF_HWCAP type.

When we look for microcode blobs, we first try builtin and if that doesn't succeed, we fallback to the initrd supplied to the kernel. However, at some point doing boot, that initrd gets jettisoned and we shouldn't access it anymore. But we do, as the below KASAN report shows. That's because find_microcode_in_initrd() doesn't check whether the initrd is still valid or not.
