With this, userspace can enable a KVM-HV guest to run nested guests under it. The administrator can control whether any nested guests can be run; setting the "nested" module parameter to false prevents any guests becoming nested hypervisors (that is, any attempt to enable the nested capability on a guest will fail). Guests which are already nested hypervisors will continue to be so. Reviewed-by: NDavid Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

This adds a one-reg register identifier which can be used to read and set the virtual PTCR for the guest. This register identifies the address and size of the virtual partition table for the guest, which contains information about the nested guests under this guest. Migrating this value is the only extra requirement for migrating a guest which has nested guests (assuming of course that the destination host supports nested virtualization in the kvm-hv module).

Add KVM_CAP_MSR_PLATFORM_INFO so that userspace can disable guest access to reads of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO. Disabling access to reads of this MSR gives userspace the control to "expose" this platform-dependent information to guests in a clear way. As it exists today, guests that read this MSR would get unpopulated information if userspace hadn't already set it (and prior to this patch series, only the CPUID faulting information could have been populated). This existing interface could be confusing if guests don't handle the potential for incorrect/incomplete information gracefully (e.g. zero reported for base frequency).

Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first (from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM) this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be returned to Xen. Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs). Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace kicks in). Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime switch.

We currently do not notify all gmaps when using gmap_pmdp_xchg(), due to locking constraints. This makes ucontrol VMs, which is the only VM type that creates multiple gmaps, incompatible with huge pages. Also we would need to hold the guest_table_lock of all gmaps that have this vmaddr maped to synchronize access to the pmd. ucontrol VMs are rather exotic and creating a new locking concept is no easy task. Hence we return EINVAL when trying to active KVM_CAP_S390_HPAGE_1M and report it as being not available when checking for it.

Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag. The purpose is to make data spoofing attacks harder. This protection can be turned on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like the symlinks/hardlinks protection. This patch is based on Openwall's "HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer. This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation: CVE-2000-1134 CVE-2007-3852 CVE-2008-0525 CVE-2009-0416 CVE-2011-4834 CVE-2015-1838 CVE-2015-7442 CVE-2016-7489 This list is not meant to be complete. It's difficult to track down all vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any mention of this particular attack vector. In fact, before hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite vehicle to exploit them.

ipc_addid() initializes kern_ipc_perm.seq after having called idr_alloc() (within ipc_idr_alloc()). Thus a parallel semop() or msgrcv() that uses ipc_obtain_object_check() may see an uninitialized value. The patch moves the initialization of kern_ipc_perm.seq before the calls of idr_alloc(). Notes: 1) This patch has a user space visible side effect: If /proc/sys/kernel/*_next_id is used (i.e.: checkpoint/restore) and if semget()/msgget()/shmget() fails in the final step of adding the id to the rhash tree, then .._next_id is cleared. Before the patch, is remained unmodified. There is no change of the behavior after a successful ..get() call: It always clears .._next_id, there is no impact to non checkpoint/restore code as that code does not use .._next_id. 2) The patch correctly documents that after a call to ipc_idr_alloc(), the full tear-down sequence must be used. The callers of ipc_addid() do not fullfill that, i.e. more bugfixes are required. The patch is a squash of a patch from Dmitry and my own changes.

Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout. This is fine for most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups (syzbot). In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup < RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent machine loss. The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g. if task hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins). The additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests. Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout. This allows to set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs. The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl, similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl. The default value of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to timeout.

Currently, percpu memory only exposes allocation and utilization information via debugfs. This more or less is only really useful for understanding the fragmentation and allocation information at a per-chunk level with a few global counters. This is also gated behind a config. BPF and cgroup, for example, have seen an increase in use causing increased use of percpu memory. Let's make it easier for someone to identify how much memory is being used. This patch adds the "Percpu" stat to meminfo to more easily look up how much percpu memory is in use. This number includes the cost for all allocated backing pages and not just insight at the per a unit, per chunk level. Metadata is excluded. I think excluding metadata is fair because the backing memory scales with the numbere of cpus and can quickly outweigh the metadata. It also makes this calculation light.

For some workloads an intervention from the OOM killer can be painful. Killing a random task can bring the workload into an inconsistent state. Historically, there are two common solutions for this problem: 1) enabling panic_on_oom, 2) using a userspace daemon to monitor OOMs and kill all outstanding processes. Both approaches have their downsides: rebooting on each OOM is an obvious waste of capacity, and handling all in userspace is tricky and requires a userspace agent, which will monitor all cgroups for OOMs. In most cases an in-kernel after-OOM cleaning-up mechanism can eliminate the necessity of enabling panic_on_oom. Also, it can simplify the cgroup management for userspace applications. This commit introduces a new knob for cgroup v2 memory controller: memory.oom.group. The knob determines whether the cgroup should be treated as an indivisible workload by the OOM killer. If set, all tasks belonging to the cgroup or to its descendants (if the memory cgroup is not a leaf cgroup) are killed together or not at all. To determine which cgroup has to be killed, we do traverse the cgroup hierarchy from the victim task's cgroup up to the OOMing cgroup (or root) and looking for the highest-level cgroup with memory.oom.group set. Tasks with the OOM protection (oom_score_adj set to -1000) are treated as an exception and are never killed. This patch doesn't change the OOM victim selection algorithm.

The Kconfig text for CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING doesn't mention that it has to be enabled explicitly. This updates the documentation for that and adds a note about CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING to the "page_poison" command line docs. While here, change description of CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO too, as it's not "random" data, but rather the fixed debugging value that would be used when not zeroing. Additionally removes a stray "bool" in the Kconfig.
