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].

Currently it is possible for userspace (e.g. QEMU) to set a value for the MSR for a guest VCPU which has both of the TS bits set, which is an illegal combination. The result of this is that when we execute a hrfid (hypervisor return from interrupt doubleword) instruction to enter the guest, the CPU will take a TM Bad Thing type of program interrupt (vector 0x700). Now, if PR KVM is configured in the kernel along with HV KVM, we actually handle this without crashing the host or giving hypervisor privilege to the guest; instead what happens is that we deliver a program interrupt to the guest, with SRR0 reflecting the address of the hrfid instruction and SRR1 containing the MSR value at that point. If PR KVM is not configured in the kernel, then we try to run the host's program interrupt handler with the MMU set to the guest context, which almost certainly causes a host crash. This closes the hole by making kvmppc_set_msr_hv() check for the illegal combination and force the TS field to a safe value (00, meaning non-transactional).

In the old DABR register, the BT (Breakpoint Translation) bit is bit number 61. In the new DAWRX register, the WT (Watchpoint Translation) bit is bit number 59. So to move the DABR-BT bit into the position of the DAWRX-WT bit, it has to be shifted by two, not only by one. This fixes hardware watchpoints in gdb of older guests that only use the H_SET_DABR/X interface instead of the new H_SET_MODE interface.

As we saw with the TM Bad Thing type of program interrupt occurring on the hrfid that enters the guest, it is not completely impossible to have a trap occurring in the guest entry/exit code, despite the fact that the code has been written to avoid taking any traps. This adds a check in the kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() function to detect the case when a trap has occurred in the hypervisor-mode code, and instead of treating it just like a trap in guest code, we now print a message and return to userspace with a KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR exit reason. Of the various interrupts that get handled in the assembly code in the guest exit path and that can return directly to the guest, the only one that can occur when MSR.HV=1 and MSR.EE=0 is machine check (other than system call, which we can avoid just by not doing a sc instruction). Therefore this adds code to the machine check path to ensure that if the MCE occurred in hypervisor mode, we exit to the host rather than trying to continue the guest.

In static micro-threading modes, the dynamic micro-threading code is supposed to be disabled, because subcores can't make independent decisions about what micro-threading mode to put the core in - there is only one micro-threading mode for the whole core. The code that implements dynamic micro-threading checks for this, except that the check was missed in one case. This means that it is possible for a subcore in static 2-way micro-threading mode to try to put the core into 4-way micro-threading mode, which usually leads to stuck CPUs, spinlock lockups, and other stalls in the host. The problem was in the can_split_piggybacked_subcores() function, which should always return false if the system is in a static micro-threading mode. This fixes the problem by making can_split_piggybacked_subcores() use subcore_config_ok() for its checks, as subcore_config_ok() includes the necessary check for the static micro-threading modes. Credit to Gautham Shenoy for working out that the reason for the hangs and stalls we were seeing was that we were trying to do dynamic 4-way micro-threading while we were in static 2-way mode.

When handling a hypervisor data or instruction storage interrupt (HDSI or HISI), we look up the SLB entry for the address being accessed in order to translate the effective address to a virtual address which can be looked up in the guest HPT. This lookup can occasionally fail due to the guest replacing an SLB entry without invalidating the evicted SLB entry. In this situation an ERAT (effective to real address translation cache) entry can persist and be used by the hardware even though there is no longer a corresponding SLB entry. Previously we would just deliver a data or instruction storage interrupt (DSI or ISI) to the guest in this case. However, this is not correct and has been observed to cause guests to crash, typically with a data storage protection interrupt on a store to the vmemmap area. Instead, what we do now is to synthesize a data or instruction segment interrupt. That should cause the guest to reload an appropriate entry into the SLB and retry the faulting instruction. If it still faults, we should find an appropriate SLB entry next time and be able to handle the fault.

This reverts commit 9678cdaa ("Use the POWER8 Micro Partition Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8") because the original commit had multiple, partly self-cancelling bugs, that could cause occasional memory corruption. In fact the logmpp instruction was incorrectly using register r0 as the source of the buffer address and operation code, and depending on what was in r0, it would either do nothing or corrupt the 64k page pointed to by r0. The logmpp instruction encoding and the operation code definitions could be corrected, but then there is the problem that there is no clearly defined way to know when the hardware has finished writing to the buffer. The original commit attempted to work around this by aborting the write-out before starting the prefetch, but this is ineffective in the case where the virtual core is now executing on a different physical core from the one where the write-out was initiated. These problems plus advice from the hardware designers not to use the function (since the measured performance improvement from using the feature was actually mostly negative), mean that reverting the code is the best option.

Currently a CPU running a guest can receive a H_DOORBELL in the following two cases: 1) When the CPU is napping due to CEDE or there not being a guest vcpu. 2) The CPU is running the guest vcpu. Case 1), the doorbell message is not cleared since we were waking up from nap. Hence when the EE bit gets set on transition from guest to host, the H_DOORBELL interrupt is delivered to the host and the corresponding handler is invoked. However in Case 2), the message gets cleared by the action of taking the H_DOORBELL interrupt. Since the CPU was running a guest, instead of invoking the doorbell handler, the code invokes the second-level interrupt handler to switch the context from the guest to the host. At this point the setting of the EE bit doesn't result in the CPU getting the doorbell interrupt since it has already been delivered once. So, the handler for this doorbell is never invoked! This causes softlockups if the missed DOORBELL was an IPI sent from a sibling subcore on the same CPU. This patch fixes it by explitly invoking the doorbell handler on the exit path if the exit reason is H_DOORBELL similar to the way an EXTERNAL interrupt is handled. Since this will also handle Case 1), we can unconditionally clear the doorbell message in kvmppc_check_wake_reason. Signed-off-by: NGautham R.

Currently the KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB will try to allocate the requested size of HPT, and if that is not possible, then try to allocate smaller sizes (by factors of 2) until either a minimum is reached or the allocation succeeds. This is not ideal for userspace, particularly in migration scenarios, where the destination VM really does require the size requested. Also, the minimum HPT size of 256kB may be insufficient for the guest to run successfully. This removes the fallback to smaller sizes on allocation failure for the KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl. The fallback still exists for the case where the HPT is allocated at the time the first VCPU is run, if no HPT has been allocated by ioctl by that time.

For the machine check interrupt that happens while we are in the guest, kvm layer attempts the recovery, and then delivers the machine check interrupt directly to the guest if recovery fails. On successful recovery we go back to normal functioning of the guest. But there can be cases where a machine check interrupt can happen with MSR(RI=0) while we are in the guest. This means MC interrupt is unrecoverable and we have to deliver a machine check to the guest since the machine check interrupt might have trashed valid values in SRR0/1. The current implementation do not handle this case, causing guest to crash with Bad kernel stack pointer instead of machine check oops message.

We need to properly identify whether a hugepage is an explicit or a transparent hugepage in follow_huge_addr(). We used to depend on hugepage shift argument to do that. But in some case that can result in wrong results. For ex: On finding a transparent hugepage we set hugepage shift to PMD_SHIFT. But we can end up clearing the thp pte, via pmdp_huge_get_and_clear. We do prevent reusing the pfn page via the usage of kick_all_cpus_sync(). But that happens after we updated the pte to 0. Hence in follow_huge_addr() we can find hugepage shift set, but transparent huge page check fail for a thp pte.

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.

The code that handles the case when we receive a H_DOORBELL interrupt has a comment which says "Hypervisor doorbell - exit only if host IPI flag set". However, the current code does not actually check if the host IPI flag is set. This is due to a comparison instruction that got missed. As a result, the current code performs the exit to host only if some sibling thread or a sibling sub-core is exiting to the host. This implies that, an IPI sent to a sibling core in (subcores-per-core != 1) mode will be missed by the host unless the sibling core is on the exit path to the host. This patch adds the missing comparison operation which will ensure that when HOST_IPI flag is set, we unconditionally exit to the host.

The current dynamic micro-threading code has a race due to which a secondary thread naps when it is supposed to be running a vcpu. As a side effect of this, on a guest exit, the primary thread in kvmppc_wait_for_nap() finds that this secondary thread hasn't cleared its vcore pointer. This results in "CPU X seems to be stuck!" warnings. The race is possible since the primary thread on exiting the guests only waits for all the secondaries to clear its vcore pointer. It subsequently expects the secondary threads to enter nap while it unsplits the core. A secondary thread which hasn't yet entered the nap will loop in kvm_no_guest until its vcore pointer and the do_nap flag are unset. Once the core has been unsplit, a new vcpu thread can grab the core and set the do_nap flag *before* setting the vcore pointers of the secondary. As a result, the secondary thread will now enter nap via kvm_unsplit_nap instead of running the guest vcpu. Fix this by setting the do_nap flag after setting the vcore pointer in the PACA of the secondary in kvmppc_run_core. Also, ensure that a secondary thread doesn't nap in kvm_unsplit_nap when the vcore pointer in its PACA struct is set. Fixes: b4deba5cSigned-off-by: NGautham R.

In 64 bit kernels, the Fixed Point Exception Register (XER) is a 64 bit field (e.g. in kvm_regs and kvm_vcpu_arch) and in most places it is accessed as such. This patch corrects places where it is accessed as a 32 bit field by a 64 bit kernel. In some cases this is via a 32 bit load or store instruction which, depending on endianness, will cause either the lower or upper 32 bits to be missed. In another case it is cast as a u32, causing the upper 32 bits to be cleared. This patch corrects those places by extending the access methods to 64 bits.

Whenever a vcore state is VCORE_PREEMPT we need to be counting stolen time for it. This currently isn't the case when we have a vcore that no longer has any runnable threads in it but still has a runner task, so we do an explicit call to kvmppc_core_start_stolen() in that case.

When a vcore gets preempted, we put it on the preempted vcore list for the current CPU. The runner task then calls schedule() and comes back some time later and takes itself off the list. We need to be careful to lock the list that it was put onto, which may not be the list for the current CPU since the runner task may have moved to another CPU.

This adds implementations for the H_CLEAR_REF (test and clear reference bit) and H_CLEAR_MOD (test and clear changed bit) hypercalls. When clearing the reference or change bit in the guest view of the HPTE, we also have to clear it in the real HPTE so that we can detect future references or changes. When we do so, we transfer the R or C bit value to the rmap entry for the underlying host page so that kvm_age_hva_hv(), kvm_test_age_hva_hv() and kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log() know that the page has been referenced and/or changed. These hypercalls are not used by Linux guests. These implementations have been tested using a FreeBSD guest.

This fixes a bug in the tracking of pages that get modified by the guest. If the guest creates a large-page HPTE, writes to memory somewhere within the large page, and then removes the HPTE, we only record the modified state for the first normal page within the large page, when in fact the guest might have modified some other normal page within the large page. To fix this we use some unused bits in the rmap entry to record the order (log base 2) of the size of the page that was modified, when removing an HPTE. Then in kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages() we use that order to return the correct number of modified pages. The same thing could in principle happen when removing a HPTE at the host's request, i.e. when paging out a page, except that we never page out large pages, and the guest can only create large-page HPTEs if the guest RAM is backed by large pages. However, we also fix this case for the sake of future-proofing. The reference bit is also subject to the same loss of information. We don't make the same fix here for the reference bit because there isn't an interface for userspace to find out which pages the guest has referenced, whereas there is one for userspace to find out which pages the guest has modified. Because of this loss of information, the kvm_age_hva_hv() and kvm_test_age_hva_hv() functions might incorrectly say that a page has not been referenced when it has, but that doesn't matter greatly because we never page or swap out large pages.

The reference (R) and change (C) bits in a HPT entry can be set by hardware at any time up until the HPTE is invalidated and the TLB invalidation sequence has completed. This means that when removing a HPTE, we need to read the HPTE after the invalidation sequence has completed in order to obtain reliable values of R and C. The code in kvmppc_do_h_remove() used to do this. However, commit 6f22bd32 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make HTAB code LE host aware") removed the read after invalidation as a side effect of other changes. This restores the read of the HPTE after invalidation. The user-visible effect of this bug would be that when migrating a guest, there is a small probability that a page modified by the guest and then unmapped by the guest might not get re-transmitted and thus the destination might end up with a stale copy of the page.

This builds on the ability to run more than one vcore on a physical core by using the micro-threading (split-core) modes of the POWER8 chip. Previously, only vcores from the same VM could be run together, and (on POWER8) only if they had just one thread per core. With the ability to split the core on guest entry and unsplit it on guest exit, we can run up to 8 vcpu threads from up to 4 different VMs, and we can run multiple vcores with 2 or 4 vcpus per vcore. Dynamic micro-threading is only available if the static configuration of the cores is whole-core mode (unsplit), and only on POWER8. To manage this, we introduce a new kvm_split_mode struct which is shared across all of the subcores in the core, with a pointer in the paca on each thread. In addition we extend the core_info struct to have information on each subcore. When deciding whether to add a vcore to the set already on the core, we now have two possibilities: (a) piggyback the vcore onto an existing subcore, or (b) start a new subcore. Currently, when any vcpu needs to exit the guest and switch to host virtual mode, we interrupt all the threads in all subcores and switch the core back to whole-core mode. It may be possible in future to allow some of the subcores to keep executing in the guest while subcore 0 switches to the host, but that is not implemented in this patch. This adds a module parameter called dynamic_mt_modes which controls which micro-threading (split-core) modes the code will consider, as a bitmap. In other words, if it is 0, no micro-threading mode is considered; if it is 2, only 2-way micro-threading is considered; if it is 4, only 4-way, and if it is 6, both 2-way and 4-way micro-threading mode will be considered. The default is 6. With this, we now have secondary threads which are the primary thread for their subcore and therefore need to do the MMU switch. These threads will need to be started even if they have no vcpu to run, so we use the vcore pointer in the PACA rather than the vcpu pointer to trigger them. It is now possible for thread 0 to find that an exit has been requested before it gets to switch the subcore state to the guest. In that case we haven't added the guest's timebase offset to the timebase, so we need to be careful not to subtract the offset in the guest exit path. In fact we just skip the whole path that switches back to host context, since we haven't switched to the guest context.

When running a virtual core of a guest that is configured with fewer threads per core than the physical cores have, the extra physical threads are currently unused. This makes it possible to use them to run one or more other virtual cores from the same guest when certain conditions are met. This applies on POWER7, and on POWER8 to guests with one thread per virtual core. (It doesn't apply to POWER8 guests with multiple threads per vcore because they require a 1-1 virtual to physical thread mapping in order to be able to use msgsndp and the TIR.) The idea is that we maintain a list of preempted vcores for each physical cpu (i.e. each core, since the host runs single-threaded). Then, when a vcore is about to run, it checks to see if there are any vcores on the list for its physical cpu that could be piggybacked onto this vcore's execution. If so, those additional vcores are put into state VCORE_PIGGYBACK and their runnable VCPU threads are started as well as the original vcore, which is called the master vcore. After the vcores have exited the guest, the extra ones are put back onto the preempted list if any of their VCPUs are still runnable and not idle. This means that vcpu->arch.ptid is no longer necessarily the same as the physical thread that the vcpu runs on. In order to make it easier for code that wants to send an IPI to know which CPU to target, we now store that in a new field in struct vcpu_arch, called thread_cpu.
