db3fe4eb45 KVM: Introduce kvm_memory_slot::arch and move lpage_info into it
Some members of kvm_memory_slot are not used by every architecture.

This patch is the first step to make this difference clear by
introducing kvm_memory_slot::arch;  lpage_info is moved into it.

189a2f7b24 KVM: Simplify ifndef conditional usage in __kvm_set_memory_region()
Narrow down the controlled text inside the conditional so that it will
include lpage_info and rmap stuff only.

For this we change the way we check whether the slot is being created
from "if (npages && !new.rmap)" to "if (npages && !old.npages)".

We also stop checking if lpage_info is NULL when we create lpage_info
because we do it from inside the slot creation code block.

9d4cba7f93 KVM: Move gfn_to_memslot() to kvm_host.h
This moves __gfn_to_memslot() and search_memslots() from kvm_main.c to
kvm_host.h to reduce the code duplication caused by the need for
non-modular code in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c to call
gfn_to_memslot() in real mode.

Rather than putting gfn_to_memslot() itself in a header, which would
lead to increased code size, this puts __gfn_to_memslot() in a header.
Then, the non-modular uses of gfn_to_memslot() are changed to call
__gfn_to_memslot() instead.  This way there is only one place in the
source code that needs to be changed should the gfn_to_memslot()
implementation need to be modified.

On powerpc, the Book3S HV style of KVM has code that is called from
real mode which needs to call gfn_to_memslot() and thus needs this.
(Module code is allocated in the vmalloc region, which can't be
accessed in real mode.)

With this, we can remove builtin_gfn_to_memslot() from book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c.

This adds an smp_wmb in kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() and an
smp_rmb in mmu_notifier_retry() so that mmu_notifier_retry() will give

PowerPC Book3S HV KVM wants to use a bitlock per guest page rather than
a single global spinlock in order to improve the scalability of updates

e08b963716 KVM: s390: add parameter for KVM_CREATE_VM
This patch introduces a new config option for user controlled kernel
virtual machines. It introduces a parameter to KVM_CREATE_VM that
allows to set bits that alter the capabilities of the newly created
virtual machine.
The parameter is passed to kvm_arch_init_vm for all architectures.
The only valid modifier bit for now is KVM_VM_S390_UCONTROL.
This requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges and creates a user controlled
virtual machine on s390 architectures.

50e92b3c97 KVM: Fix __set_bit() race in mark_page_dirty() during dirty logging
It is possible that the __set_bit() in mark_page_dirty() is called
simultaneously on the same region of memory, which may result in only
one bit being set, because some callers do not take mmu_lock before
mark_page_dirty().

This problem is hard to produce because when we reach mark_page_dirty()
beginning from, e.g., tdp_page_fault(), mmu_lock is being held during
__direct_map():  making kvm-unit-tests' dirty log api test write to two
pages concurrently was not useful for this reason.

So we have confirmed that there can actually be race condition by
checking if some callers really reach there without holding mmu_lock
using spin_is_locked():  probably they were from kvm_write_guest_page().

To fix this race, this patch changes the bit operation to the atomic
version:  note that nr_dirty_pages also suffers from the race but we do
not need exactly correct numbers for now.

743eeb0b01 KVM: Intelligent device lookup on I/O bus
Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO)
is to call the read or write callback for each device registered
on the bus until we find a device which handles it.

Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds
and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO
operation.

Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to
a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear
search.

Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with
200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a
different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits).
Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the
patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

ce88decffd KVM: MMU: mmio page fault support
The idea is from Avi:

| We could cache the result of a miss in an spte by using a reserved bit, and
| checking the page fault error code (or seeing if we get an ept violation or
| ept misconfiguration), so if we get repeated mmio on a page, we don't need to
| search the slot list/tree.
| (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/22/221)

When the page fault is caused by mmio, we cache the info in the shadow page
table, and also set the reserved bits in the shadow page table, so if the mmio
is caused again, we can quickly identify it and emulate it directly

Searching mmio gfn in memslots is heavy since we need to walk all memeslots, it
can be reduced by this feature, and also avoid walking guest page table for
soft mmu.

If the page fault is caused by mmio, the gfn can not be found in memslots, and
'bad_pfn' is returned on gfn_to_hva path, so we can use 'bad_pfn' to identify

And, to clarify the meaning of mmio pfn, we return fault page instead of bad
page when the gfn is not allowd to prefetch

74b5c5bfff KVM: Initialize kvm before registering the mmu notifier
It doesn't make sense to ever see a half-initialized kvm structure on
mmu notifier callbacks.  Previously, 85722cda changed the ordering to
ensure that the mmu_lock was initialized before mmu notifier
registration, but there is still a race where the mmu notifier could
come in and try accessing other portions of struct kvm before they are
intialized.

Solve this by moving the mmu notifier registration to occur after the
structure is completely initialized.

This stops including asm-generic/bitops/le.h directly and use ext2

It seems odd to use ext2_set_bit() on kvm, but it will replaced with
__set_bit_le() after introducing little endian bit operations for all
architectures.  This indirect step is necessary to maintain bisectability
for some architectures which have their own little-endian bit operations.

217ece6129 KVM: use yield_to instead of sleep in kvm_vcpu_on_spin
Instead of sleeping in kvm_vcpu_on_spin, which can cause gigantic
slowdowns of certain workloads, we instead use yield_to to get
another VCPU in the same KVM guest to run sooner.

This seems to give a 10-15% speedup in certain workloads.

34bb10b79d KVM: keep track of which task is running a KVM vcpu
Keep track of which task is running a KVM vcpu.  This helps us
figure out later what task to wake up if we want to boost a
vcpu that got preempted.

Unfortunately there are no guarantees that the same task
always keeps the same vcpu, so we can only track the task
across a single "run" of the vcpu.

fafc3dbaac KVM: Replace is_hwpoison_address with __get_user_pages
is_hwpoison_address only checks whether the page table entry is
hwpoisoned, regardless the memory page mapped.  While __get_user_pages
will check both.

QEMU will clear the poisoned page table entry (via unmap/map) to make
it possible to allocate a new memory page for the virtual address
across guest rebooting.  But it is also possible that the underlying
memory page is kept poisoned even after the corresponding page table
entry is cleared, that is, a new memory page can not be allocated.
__get_user_pages can catch these situations.

3cba41307a KVM: make make_all_cpus_request() lockless
Now, we have 'vcpu->mode' to judge whether need to send ipi to other
cpus, this way is very exact, so checking request bit is needless,
then we can drop the spinlock let it's collateral

6b7e2d0991 KVM: Add "exiting guest mode" state
Currently we keep track of only two states: guest mode and host
mode.  This patch adds an "exiting guest mode" state that tells
us that an IPI will happen soon, so unless we need to wait for the
IPI, we can avoid it completely.

Also
1: No need atomically to read/write ->mode in vcpu's thread

2: reorganize struct kvm_vcpu to make ->mode and ->requests
   in the same cache line explicitly

arch/s390/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:596:12: warning: 'kvm_create_dirty_bitmap' defined but not used

The only caller of the function is within a !CONFIG_S390 section, so add the
same ifdef around kvm_create_dirty_bitmap() as well.

8ee53820ed thp: mmu_notifier_test_young
For GRU and EPT, we need gup-fast to set referenced bit too (this is why
it's correct to return 0 when shadow_access_mask is zero, it requires
gup-fast to set the referenced bit).  qemu-kvm access already sets the
young bit in the pte if it isn't zero-copy, if it's zero copy or a shadow
paging EPT minor fault we relay on gup-fast to signal the page is in
use...

We also need to check the young bits on the secondary pagetables for NPT
and not nested shadow mmu as the data may never get accessed again by the
primary pte.

Without this closer accuracy, we'd have to remove the heuristic that
avoids collapsing hugepages in hugepage virtual regions that have not even
a single subpage in use.

->test_young is full backwards compatible with GRU and other usages that
don't have young bits in pagetables set by the hardware and that should
nuke the secondary mmu mappings when ->clear_flush_young runs just like
EPT does.

Removing the heuristic that checks the young bit in
khugepaged/collapse_huge_page completely isn't so bad either probably but
I thought it was worth it and this makes it reliable.

b7c4145ba2 KVM: Don't spin on virt instruction faults during reboot
Since vmx blocks INIT signals, we disable virtualization extensions during
reboot.  This leads to virtualization instructions faulting; we trap these
faults and spin while the reboot continues.

Unfortunately spinning on a non-preemptible kernel may block a task that
reboot depends on; this causes the reboot to hang.

Fix by skipping over the instruction and hoping for the best.
