2022-09-29KVM: Add KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL capability and config optionMarc Zyngier1-0/+14
In order to differenciate between architectures that require no extra synchronisation when accessing the dirty ring and those who do, add a new capability (KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL) that identify the latter sort. TSO architectures can obviously advertise both, while relaxed architectures must only advertise the ACQ_REL version. This requires some configuration symbol rejigging, with HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING being only indirectly selected by two top-level config symbols: - HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_TSO for strongly ordered architectures (x86) - HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_ACQ_REL for weakly ordered architectures (arm64) Suggested-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Gavin Shan <gshan@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220926145120.27974-3-maz@kernel.org

2022-01-07KVM: Reinstate gfn_to_pfn_cache with invalidation supportDavid Woodhouse1-0/+3
This can be used in two modes. There is an atomic mode where the cached mapping is accessed while holding the rwlock, and a mode where the physical address is used by a vCPU in guest mode. For the latter case, an invalidation will wake the vCPU with the new KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE, and the architecture will need to refresh any caches it still needs to access before entering guest mode again. Only one vCPU can be targeted by the wake requests; it's simple enough to make it wake all vCPUs or even a mask but I don't see a use case for that additional complexity right now. Invalidation happens from the invalidate_range_start MMU notifier, which needs to be able to sleep in order to wake the vCPU and wait for it. This means that revalidation potentially needs to "wait" for the MMU operation to complete and the invalidate_range_end notifier to be invoked. Like the vCPU when it takes a page fault in that period, we just spin — fixing that in a future patch by implementing an actual *wait* may be another part of shaving this particularly hirsute yak. As noted in the comments in the function itself, the only case where the invalidate_range_start notifier is expected to be called *without* being able to sleep is when the OOM reaper is killing the process. In that case, we expect the vCPU threads already to have exited, and thus there will be nothing to wake, and no reason to wait. So we clear the KVM_REQUEST_WAIT bit and send the request anyway, then complain loudly if there actually *was* anything to wake up.

2020-07-24entry: Provide infrastructure for work before transitioning to guest modeThomas Gleixner1-0/+3
Entering a guest is similar to exiting to user space. Pending work like handling signals, rescheduling, task work etc. needs to be handled before that. Provide generic infrastructure to avoid duplication of the same handling code all over the place. The transfer to guest mode handling is different from the exit to usermode handling, e.g. vs. rseq and live patching, so a separate function is used. The initial list of work items handled is: TIF_SIGPENDING, TIF_NEED_RESCHED, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME Architecture specific TIF flags can be added via defines in the architecture specific include files. The calling convention is also different from the syscall/interrupt entry functions as KVM invokes this from the outer vcpu_run() loop with interrupts and preemption enabled. To prevent missing a pending work item it invokes a check for pending TIF work from interrupt disabled code right before transitioning to guest mode. The lockdep, RCU and tracing state handling is also done directly around the switch to and from guest mode.

2018-05-25KVM: arm/arm64: Introduce kvm_arch_vcpu_run_pid_changeChristoffer Dall1-0/+3
KVM/ARM differs from other architectures in having to maintain an additional virtual address space from that of the host and the guest, because we split the execution of KVM across both EL1 and EL2. This results in a need to explicitly map data structures into EL2 (hyp) which are accessed from the hyp code. As we are about to be more clever with our FPSIMD handling on arm64, which stores data in the task struct and uses thread_info flags, we will have to map parts of the currently executing task struct into the EL2 virtual address space. However, we don't want to do this on every KVM_RUN, because it is a fairly expensive operation to walk the page tables, and the common execution mode is to map a single thread to a VCPU. By introducing a hook that architectures can select with HAVE_KVM_VCPU_RUN_PID_CHANGE, we do not introduce overhead for other architectures, but have a simple way to only map the data we need when required for arm64. This patch introduces the framework only, and wires it up in the arm/arm64 KVM common code. No functional change.

2017-12-14KVM: introduce kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctlPaolo Bonzini1-0/+3
After the vcpu_load/vcpu_put pushdown, the handling of asynchronous VCPU ioctl is already much clearer in that it is obvious that they bypass vcpu_load and vcpu_put. However, it is still not perfect in that the different state of the VCPU mutex is still hidden in the caller. Separate those ioctls into a new function kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctl that returns -ENOIOCTLCMD for more "traditional" synchronous ioctls.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
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.

2016-05-13KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify wakeups during pollChristian Borntraeger1-0/+3
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.
