      x86: Fix section mismatch in LAPIC initialization · 2fb270f3
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      Additionally doing things conditionally upon smp_processor_id()
      being zero is generally a bad idea, as this means CPU 0 cannot
      be offlined and brought back online later again.
      
      While there may be other places where this is done, I think adding
      more of those should be avoided so that some day SMP can really
      become "symmetrical".

      x86, mm: avoid possible bogus tlb entries by clearing prev mm_cpumask after switching mm · 831d52bc
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Clearing the cpu in prev's mm_cpumask early will avoid the flush tlb
      IPI's while the cr3 is still pointing to the prev mm.  And this window
      can lead to the possibility of bogus TLB fills resulting in strange
      failures.  One such problematic scenario is mentioned below.
      
       T1. CPU-1 is context switching from mm1 to mm2 context and got a NMI
           etc between the point of clearing the cpu from the mm_cpumask(mm1)
           and before reloading the cr3 with the new mm2.
      
       T2. CPU-2 is tearing down a specific vma for mm1 and will proceed with
           flushing the TLB for mm1.  It doesn't send the flush TLB to CPU-1
           as it doesn't see that cpu listed in the mm_cpumask(mm1).
      
       T3. After the TLB flush is complete, CPU-2 goes ahead and frees the
           page-table pages associated with the removed vma mapping.
      
       T4. CPU-2 now allocates those freed page-table pages for something
           else.
      
       T5. As the CR3 and TLB caches for mm1 is still active on CPU-1, CPU-1
           can potentially speculate and walk through the page-table caches
           and can insert new TLB entries.  As the page-table pages are
           already freed and being used on CPU-2, this page walk can
           potentially insert a bogus global TLB entry depending on the
           (random) contents of the page that is being used on CPU-2.
      
       T6. This bogus TLB entry being global will be active across future CR3
           changes and can result in weird memory corruption etc.
      
      To avoid this issue, for the prev mm that is handing over the cpu to
      another mm, clear the cpu from the mm_cpumask(prev) after the cr3 is
      changed.
      
      Marking it for -stable, though we haven't seen any reported failure that
      can be attributed to this.

      built but it failed at runtime because set_pmd_at was a noop.  This will
      correct it by enabling set_pmd_at for noPAE mode too.

      ea530692 made a CPU use monitor/mwait
      when offline. This is not the optimal choice for AMD wrt to powersavings
      and we'd prefer our cores to halt (i.e. enter C1) instead. For this, the
      same selection whether to use monitor/mwait has to be used as when we
      select the idle routine for the machine.
      
      With this patch, offlining cores 1-5 on a X6 machine allows core0 to
      boost again.

      thp: mmu_notifier_test_young · 8ee53820
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      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.

      thp: transparent hugepage core · 71e3aac0
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      Lately I've been working to make KVM use hugepages transparently without
      the usual restrictions of hugetlbfs.  Some of the restrictions I'd like to
      see removed:
      
      1) hugepages have to be swappable or the guest physical memory remains
         locked in RAM and can't be paged out to swap
      
      2) if a hugepage allocation fails, regular pages should be allocated
         instead and mixed in the same vma without any failure and without
         userland noticing
      
      3) if some task quits and more hugepages become available in the
         buddy, guest physical memory backed by regular pages should be
         relocated on hugepages automatically in regions under
         madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) (ideally event driven by waking up the
         kernel deamon if the order=HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT-PAGE_SHIFT list becomes
         not null)
      
      4) avoidance of reservation and maximization of use of hugepages whenever
         possible. Reservation (needed to avoid runtime fatal faliures) may be ok for
         1 machine with 1 database with 1 database cache with 1 database cache size
         known at boot time. It's definitely not feasible with a virtualization
         hypervisor usage like RHEV-H that runs an unknown number of virtual machines
         with an unknown size of each virtual machine with an unknown amount of
         pagecache that could be potentially useful in the host for guest not using
         O_DIRECT (aka cache=off).
      
      hugepages in the virtualization hypervisor (and also in the guest!) are
      much more important than in a regular host not using virtualization,
      becasue with NPT/EPT they decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 24
      to 19 in case only the hypervisor uses transparent hugepages, and they
      decrease the tlb-miss cacheline accesses from 19 to 15 in case both the
      linux hypervisor and the linux guest both uses this patch (though the
      guest will limit the addition speedup to anonymous regions only for
      now...).  Even more important is that the tlb miss handler is much slower
      on a NPT/EPT guest than for a regular shadow paging or no-virtualization
      scenario.  So maximizing the amount of virtual memory cached by the TLB
      pays off significantly more with NPT/EPT than without (even if there would
      be no significant speedup in the tlb-miss runtime).
      
      The first (and more tedious) part of this work requires allowing the VM to
      handle anonymous hugepages mixed with regular pages transparently on
      regular anonymous vmas.  This is what this patch tries to achieve in the
      least intrusive possible way.  We want hugepages and hugetlb to be used in
      a way so that all applications can benefit without changes (as usual we
      leverage the KVM virtualization design: by improving the Linux VM at
      large, KVM gets the performance boost too).
      
      The most important design choice is: always fallback to 4k allocation if
      the hugepage allocation fails!  This is the _very_ opposite of some large
      pagecache patches that failed with -EIO back then if a 64k (or similar)
      allocation failed...
      
      Second important decision (to reduce the impact of the feature on the
      existing pagetable handling code) is that at any time we can split an
      hugepage into 512 regular pages and it has to be done with an operation
      that can't fail.  This way the reliability of the swapping isn't decreased
      (no need to allocate memory when we are short on memory to swap) and it's
      trivial to plug a split_huge_page* one-liner where needed without
      polluting the VM.  Over time we can teach mprotect, mremap and friends to
      handle pmd_trans_huge natively without calling split_huge_page*.  The fact
      it can't fail isn't just for swap: if split_huge_page would return -ENOMEM
      (instead of the current void) we'd need to rollback the mprotect from the
      middle of it (ideally including undoing the split_vma) which would be a
      big change and in the very wrong direction (it'd likely be simpler not to
      call split_huge_page at all and to teach mprotect and friends to handle
      hugepages instead of rolling them back from the middle).  In short the
      very value of split_huge_page is that it can't fail.
      
      The collapsing and madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) part will remain separated and
      incremental and it'll just be an "harmless" addition later if this initial
      part is agreed upon.  It also should be noted that locking-wise replacing
      regular pages with hugepages is going to be very easy if compared to what
      I'm doing below in split_huge_page, as it will only happen when
      page_count(page) matches page_mapcount(page) if we can take the PG_lock
      and mmap_sem in write mode.  collapse_huge_page will be a "best effort"
      that (unlike split_huge_page) can fail at the minimal sign of trouble and
      we can try again later.  collapse_huge_page will be similar to how KSM
      works and the madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) will work similar to
      madvise(MADV_MERGEABLE).
      
      The default I like is that transparent hugepages are used at page fault
      time.  This can be changed with
      /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled.  The control knob can be set
      to three values "always", "madvise", "never" which mean respectively that
      hugepages are always used, or only inside madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) regions,
      or never used.  /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag instead
      controls if the hugepage allocation should defrag memory aggressively
      "always", only inside "madvise" regions, or "never".
      
      The pmd_trans_splitting/pmd_trans_huge locking is very solid.  The
      put_page (from get_user_page users that can't use mmu notifier like
      O_DIRECT) that runs against a __split_huge_page_refcount instead was a
      pain to serialize in a way that would result always in a coherent page
      count for both tail and head.  I think my locking solution with a
      compound_lock taken only after the page_first is valid and is still a
      PageHead should be safe but it surely needs review from SMP race point of
      view.  In short there is no current existing way to serialize the O_DIRECT
      final put_page against split_huge_page_refcount so I had to invent a new
      one (O_DIRECT loses knowledge on the mapping status by the time gup_fast
      returns so...).  And I didn't want to impact all gup/gup_fast users for
      now, maybe if we change the gup interface substantially we can avoid this
      locking, I admit I didn't think too much about it because changing the gup
      unpinning interface would be invasive.
      
      If we ignored O_DIRECT we could stick to the existing compound refcounting
      code, by simply adding a get_user_pages_fast_flags(foll_flags) where KVM
      (and any other mmu notifier user) would call it without FOLL_GET (and if
      FOLL_GET isn't set we'd just BUG_ON if nobody registered itself in the
      current task mmu notifier list yet).  But O_DIRECT is fundamental for
      decent performance of virtualized I/O on fast storage so we can't avoid it
      to solve the race of put_page against split_huge_page_refcount to achieve
      a complete hugepage feature for KVM.
      
      Swap and oom works fine (well just like with regular pages ;).  MMU
      notifier is handled transparently too, with the exception of the young bit
      on the pmd, that didn't have a range check but I think KVM will be fine
      because the whole point of hugepages is that EPT/NPT will also use a huge
      pmd when they notice gup returns pages with PageCompound set, so they
      won't care of a range and there's just the pmd young bit to check in that
      case.
      
      NOTE: in some cases if the L2 cache is small, this may slowdown and waste
      memory during COWs because 4M of memory are accessed in a single fault
      instead of 8k (the payoff is that after COW the program can run faster).
      So we might want to switch the copy_huge_page (and clear_huge_page too) to
      not temporal stores.  I also extensively researched ways to avoid this
      cache trashing with a full prefault logic that would cow in 8k/16k/32k/64k
      up to 1M (I can send those patches that fully implemented prefault) but I
      concluded they're not worth it and they add an huge additional complexity
      and they remove all tlb benefits until the full hugepage has been faulted
      in, to save a little bit of memory and some cache during app startup, but
      they still don't improve substantially the cache-trashing during startup
      if the prefault happens in >4k chunks.  One reason is that those 4k pte
      entries copied are still mapped on a perfectly cache-colored hugepage, so
      the trashing is the worst one can generate in those copies (cow of 4k page
      copies aren't so well colored so they trashes less, but again this results
      in software running faster after the page fault).  Those prefault patches
      allowed things like a pte where post-cow pages were local 4k regular anon
      pages and the not-yet-cowed pte entries were pointing in the middle of
      some hugepage mapped read-only.  If it doesn't payoff substantially with
      todays hardware it will payoff even less in the future with larger l2
      caches, and the prefault logic would blot the VM a lot.  If one is
      emebdded transparent_hugepage can be disabled during boot with sysfs or
      with the boot commandline parameter transparent_hugepage=0 (or
      transparent_hugepage=2 to restrict hugepages inside madvise regions) that
      will ensure not a single hugepage is allocated at boot time.  It is simple
      enough to just disable transparent hugepage globally and let transparent
      hugepages be allocated selectively by applications in the MADV_HUGEPAGE
      region (both at page fault time, and if enabled with the
      collapse_huge_page too through the kernel daemon).
      
      This patch supports only hugepages mapped in the pmd, archs that have
      smaller hugepages will not fit in this patch alone.  Also some archs like
      power have certain tlb limits that prevents mixing different page size in
      the same regions so they will not fit in this framework that requires
      "graceful fallback" to basic PAGE_SIZE in case of physical memory
      fragmentation.  hugetlbfs remains a perfect fit for those because its
      software limits happen to match the hardware limits.  hugetlbfs also
      remains a perfect fit for hugepage sizes like 1GByte that cannot be hoped
      to be found not fragmented after a certain system uptime and that would be
      very expensive to defragment with relocation, so requiring reservation.
      hugetlbfs is the "reservation way", the point of transparent hugepages is
      not to have any reservation at all and maximizing the use of cache and
      hugepages at all times automatically.
      
      Some performance result:

      thp: add pmd mangling functions to x86 · db3eb96f
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      Add needed pmd mangling functions with symmetry with their pte
      counterparts.  pmdp_splitting_flush() is the only new addition on the pmd_
      methods and it's needed to serialize the VM against split_huge_page.  It
      simply atomically sets the splitting bit in a similar way
      pmdp_clear_flush_young atomically clears the accessed bit.
      pmdp_splitting_flush() also has to flush the tlb to make it effective
      against gup_fast, but it wouldn't really require to flush the tlb too.
      Just the tlb flush is the simplest operation we can invoke to serialize
      pmdp_splitting_flush() against gup_fast.

      x86: support XZ-compressed kernel · 30314804
      Lasse Collin 提交于
      This integrates the XZ decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code.
      
      mkpiggy.c is updated to reserve about 32 KiB more buffer safety margin for
      kernel decompression.  It is done unconditionally for all decompressors to
      keep the code simpler.
      
      The XZ decompressor needs around 30 KiB of heap, so the heap size is
      increased to 32 KiB on both x86-32 and x86-64.
      
      Documentation/x86/boot.txt is updated to list the XZ magic number.
      
      With the x86 BCJ filter in XZ, XZ-compressed x86 kernel tends to be a few
      percent smaller than the equivalent LZMA-compressed kernel.

      ACPI, intel_idle: Cleanup idle= internal variables · d1896049
      Thomas Renninger 提交于
      Having four variables for the same thing:
        idle_halt, idle_nomwait, force_mwait and boot_option_idle_overrides
      is rather confusing and unnecessary complex.
      
      if idle= boot param is passed, only set up one variable:
      boot_option_idle_overrides
      
      Introduces following functional changes/fixes:
        - intel_idle driver does not register if any idle=xy
          boot param is passed.
        - processor_idle.c will also not register a cpuidle driver
          and get active if idle=halt is passed.
          Before a cpuidle driver with one (C1, halt) state got registered
          Now the default_idle function will be used which finally uses
          the same idle call to enter sleep state (safe_halt()), but
          without registering a whole cpuidle driver.
      
      That means idle= param will always avoid cpuidle drivers to register
      with one exception (same behavior as before):
      idle=nomwait
      may still register acpi_idle cpuidle driver, but C1 will not use
      mwait, but hlt. This can be a workaround for IO based deeper sleep
      states where C1 mwait causes problems.
