Move allocation of all flavors of PPC vCPUs to common PPC code. All variants either allocate 'struct kvm_vcpu' directly, or require that the embedded 'struct kvm_vcpu' member be located at offset 0, i.e. guarantee that the allocation can be directly interpreted as a 'struct kvm_vcpu' object. Remove the message from the build-time assertion regarding placement of the struct, as compatibility with the arch usercopy region is no longer the sole dependent on 'struct kvm_vcpu' being at offset zero.

There are some POWER9 machines where the OPAL firmware does not support the OPAL_XIVE_GET_QUEUE_STATE and OPAL_XIVE_SET_QUEUE_STATE calls. The impact of this is that a guest using XIVE natively will not be able to be migrated successfully. On the source side, the get_attr operation on the KVM native device for the KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_EQ_CONFIG attribute will fail; on the destination side, the set_attr operation for the same attribute will fail. This adds tests for the existence of the OPAL get/set queue state functions, and if they are not supported, the XIVE-native KVM device is not created and the KVM_CAP_PPC_IRQ_XIVE capability returns false. Userspace can then either provide a software emulation of XIVE, or else tell the guest that it does not have a XIVE controller available to it.

Currently the Book 3S KVM code uses kvm->lock to synchronize access to the kvm->arch.rtas_tokens list. Because this list is scanned inside kvmppc_rtas_hcall(), which is called with the vcpu mutex held, taking kvm->lock cause a lock inversion problem, which could lead to a deadlock. To fix this, we add a new mutex, kvm->arch.rtas_token_lock, which nests inside the vcpu mutexes, and use that instead of kvm->lock when accessing the rtas token list. This removes the lockdep_assert_held() in kvmppc_rtas_tokens_free(). At this point we don't hold the new mutex, but that is OK because kvmppc_rtas_tokens_free() is only called when the whole VM is being destroyed, and at that point nothing can be looking up a token in the list.

When a P9 sPAPR VM boots, the CAS negotiation process determines which interrupt mode to use (XICS legacy or XIVE native) and invokes a machine reset to activate the chosen mode. We introduce 'release' methods for the XICS-on-XIVE and the XIVE native KVM devices which are called when the file descriptor of the device is closed after the TIMA and ESB pages have been unmapped. They perform the necessary cleanups : clear the vCPU interrupt presenters that could be attached and then destroy the device. The 'release' methods replace the 'destroy' methods as 'destroy' is not called anymore once 'release' is. Compatibility with older QEMU is nevertheless maintained. This is not considered as a safe operation as the vCPUs are still running and could be referencing the KVM device through their presenters. To protect the system from any breakage, the kvmppc_xive objects representing both KVM devices are now stored in an array under the VM. Allocation is performed on first usage and memory is freed only when the VM exits.

This makes the handling of machine check interrupts that occur inside a guest simpler and more robust, with less done in assembler code and in real mode. Now, when a machine check occurs inside a guest, we always get the machine check event struct and put a copy in the vcpu struct for the vcpu where the machine check occurred. We no longer call machine_check_queue_event() from kvmppc_realmode_mc_power7(), because on POWER8, when a vcpu is running on an offline secondary thread and we call machine_check_queue_event(), that calls irq_work_queue(), which doesn't work because the CPU is offline, but instead triggers the WARN_ON(lazy_irq_pending()) in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (which fires again and again because nothing clears the condition). All that machine_check_queue_event() actually does is to cause the event to be printed to the console. For a machine check occurring in the guest, we now print the event in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() instead. The assembly code at label machine_check_realmode now just calls C code and then continues exiting the guest. We no longer either synthesize a machine check for the guest in assembly code or return to the guest without a machine check. The code in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() is extended to handle the case where the guest is not FWNMI-capable. In that case we now always synthesize a machine check interrupt for the guest. Previously, if the host thinks it has recovered the machine check fully, it would return to the guest without any notification that the machine check had occurred. If the machine check was caused by some action of the guest (such as creating duplicate SLB entries), it is much better to tell the guest that it has caused a problem. Therefore we now always generate a machine check interrupt for guests that are not FWNMI-capable.

由 Paul Mackerras 提交于
Currently, the KVM code assumes that if the host kernel is using the XIVE interrupt controller (the new interrupt controller that first appeared in POWER9 systems), then the in-kernel XICS emulation will use the XIVE hardware to deliver interrupts to the guest. However, this only works when the host is running in hypervisor mode and has full access to all of the XIVE functionality. It doesn't work in any nested virtualization scenario, either with PR KVM or nested-HV KVM, because the XICS-on-XIVE code calls directly into the native-XIVE routines, which are not initialized and cannot function correctly because they use OPAL calls, and OPAL is not available in a guest. This means that using the in-kernel XICS emulation in a nested hypervisor that is using XIVE as its interrupt controller will cause a (nested) host kernel crash. To fix this, we change most of the places where the current code calls xive_enabled() to select between the XICS-on-XIVE emulation and the plain XICS emulation to call a new function, xics_on_xive(), which returns false in a guest. However, there is a further twist. The plain XICS emulation has some functions which are used in real mode and access the underlying XICS controller (the interrupt controller of the host) directly. In the case of a nested hypervisor, this means doing XICS hypercalls directly. When the nested host is using XIVE as its interrupt controller, these hypercalls will fail. Therefore this also adds checks in the places where the XICS emulation wants to access the underlying interrupt controller directly, and if that is XIVE, makes the code use the virtual mode fallback paths, which call generic kernel infrastructure rather than doing direct XICS access.

Currently we use two bits in the vcpu pending_exceptions bitmap to indicate that an external interrupt is pending for the guest, one for "one-shot" interrupts that are cleared when delivered, and one for interrupts that persist until cleared by an explicit action of the OS (e.g. an acknowledge to an interrupt controller). The BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL bit is used for one-shot interrupt requests and BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL_LEVEL is used for persisting interrupts. In practice BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL never gets used, because our Book3S platforms generally, and pseries in particular, expect external interrupt requests to persist until they are acknowledged at the interrupt controller. That combined with the confusion introduced by having two bits for what is essentially the same thing makes it attractive to simplify things by only using one bit. This patch does that. With this patch there is only BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL, and by default it has the semantics of a persisting interrupt. In order to avoid breaking the ABI, we introduce a new "external_oneshot" flag which preserves the behaviour of the KVM_INTERRUPT ioctl with the KVM_INTERRUPT_SET argument.

This makes sure that MSR "partial-function" bits are not transferred to SRR1 when delivering an interrupt. This was causing failures in guests running kernels that include commit f3d96e69 ("powerpc/mm: Overhaul handling of bad page faults", 2017-07-19), which added code to check bits of SRR1 on instruction storage interrupts (ISIs) that indicate a bad page fault. The symptom was that a guest user program that handled a signal and attempted to return from the signal handler would get a SIGBUS signal and die. The code that generated ISIs and some other interrupts would previously set bits in the guest MSR to indicate the interrupt status and then call kvmppc_book3s_queue_irqprio(). This technique no longer works now that kvmppc_inject_interrupt() is masking off those bits. Instead we make kvmppc_core_queue_data_storage() and kvmppc_core_queue_inst_storage() call kvmppc_inject_interrupt() directly, and make sure that all the places that generate ISIs or DSIs call kvmppc_core_queue_{data,inst}_storage instead of kvmppc_book3s_queue_irqprio().

This adds the code to construct the second-level ("partition-scoped" in architecturese) page tables for guests using the radix MMU. Apart from the PGD level, which is allocated when the guest is created, the rest of the tree is all constructed in response to hypervisor page faults. As well as hypervisor page faults for missing pages, we also get faults for reference/change (RC) bits needing to be set, as well as various other error conditions. For now, we only set the R or C bit in the guest page table if the same bit is set in the host PTE for the backing page. This code can take advantage of the guest being backed with either transparent or ordinary 2MB huge pages, and insert 2MB page entries into the guest page tables.

POWER8 has one virtual timebase (VTB) register per subcore, not one per CPU thread. The HV KVM code currently treats VTB as a per-thread register, which can lead to spurious soft lockup messages from guests which use the VTB as the time source for the soft lockup detector. (CPUs before POWER8 did not have the VTB register.) For HV KVM, this fixes the problem by making only the primary thread in each virtual core save and restore the VTB value. With this, the VTB state becomes part of the kvmppc_vcore structure. This also means that "piggybacking" of multiple virtual cores onto one subcore is not possible on POWER8, because then the virtual cores would share a single VTB register. PR KVM emulates a VTB register, which is per-vcpu because PR KVM has no notion of CPU threads or SMT. For PR KVM we move the VTB state into the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct.

vcpu stats are used to collect information about a vcpu which can be viewed in the debugfs. For example halt_attempted_poll and halt_successful_poll are used to keep track of the number of times the vcpu attempts to and successfully polls. These stats are currently not used on powerpc. Implement incrementation of the halt_attempted_poll and halt_successful_poll vcpu stats for powerpc. Since these stats are summed over all the vcpus for all running guests it doesn't matter which vcpu they are attributed to, thus we choose the current runner vcpu of the vcore. Also add new vcpu stats: halt_poll_success_ns, halt_poll_fail_ns and halt_wait_ns to be used to accumulate the total time spend polling successfully, polling unsuccessfully and waiting respectively, and halt_successful_wait to accumulate the number of times the vcpu waits. Given that halt_poll_success_ns, halt_poll_fail_ns and halt_wait_ns are expressed in nanoseconds it is necessary to represent these as 64-bit quantities, otherwise they would overflow after only about 4 seconds. Given that the total time spend either polling or waiting will be known and the number of times that each was done, it will be possible to determine the average poll and wait times. This will give the ability to tune the kvm module parameters based on the calculated average wait and poll times.

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.

At the moment only spapr_tce_tables updates are protected against races but not lookups. This fixes missing protection by using RCU for the list. As lookups also happen in real mode, this uses list_for_each_entry_lockless() (which is expected not to access any vmalloc'd memory). This converts release_spapr_tce_table() to a RCU scheduled handler.

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].

Access to the kvm->buses (like with the kvm_io_bus_read() and -write() functions) has to be protected via the kvm->srcu lock. The kvmppc_h_logical_ci_load() and -store() functions are missing this lock so far, so let's add it there, too. This fixes the problem that the kernel reports "suspicious RCU usage" when lock debugging is enabled.

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.
