      vfio: Enable VFIO device for powerpc · 178a7875
      David Gibson 提交于
      ec53500f "kvm: Add VFIO device" added a special KVM pseudo-device which is
      used to handle any necessary interactions between KVM and VFIO.
      
      Currently that device is built on x86 and ARM, but not powerpc, although
      powerpc does support both KVM and VFIO.  This makes things awkward in
      userspace
      
      Currently qemu prints an alarming error message if you attempt to use VFIO
      and it can't initialize the KVM VFIO device.  We don't want to remove the
      warning, because lack of the KVM VFIO device could mean coherency problems
      on x86.  On powerpc, however, the error is harmless but looks disturbing,
      and a test based on host architecture in qemu would be ugly, and break if
      we do need the KVM VFIO device for something important in future.
      
      There's nothing preventing the KVM VFIO device from being built for
      powerpc, so this patch turns it on.  It won't actually do anything, since
      we don't define any of the arch_*() hooks, but it will make qemu happy and
      we can extend it in future if we need to.

      kvm: rename pfn_t to kvm_pfn_t · ba049e93
      Dan Williams 提交于
      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: PPC: Book3S HV: Prohibit setting illegal transaction state in MSR · c20875a3
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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).

      KVM: PPC: Fix emulation of H_SET_DABR/X on POWER8 · 760a7364

      In the old DABR register, the BT (Breakpoint Translation) bit

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle unexpected traps in guest entry/exit code better · 1c9e3d51
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't dynamically split core when already split · f74f2e2e
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Synthesize segment fault if SLB lookup fails · cf29b215
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      powerpc: Revert "Use the POWER8 Micro Partition Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8" · 23316316
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle H_DOORBELL on the guest exit path · 70aa3961
      Gautham R. Shenoy 提交于
      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.

      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

      size requested.  Also, the minimum HPT size of 256kB may be

      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      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.

      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.

      The bug is that kvmppc_run_vcpu does not correctly handle the case
      where a vcpu task receives a signal while its guest vcpu is executing
      in the guest as a result of being piggy-backed onto the execution of
      another vcore.  In that case we need to wait for the vcpu to finish
      executing inside the guest, and then remove this vcore from the
      preempted vcores list.  That way, we avoid leaving this vcpu's vcore
      on the preempted vcores list when the vcpu gets interrupted.

      KVM: add halt_attempted_poll to VCPU stats · 62bea5bf
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      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.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Exit on H_DOORBELL if HOST_IPI is set · 06554d9f
      Gautham R. Shenoy 提交于
      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.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix race in starting secondary threads · 7f235328
      Gautham R. Shenoy 提交于
      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.
