      x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap · 92a0f81d
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      Put the cpu_entry_area into a separate P4D entry. The fixmap gets too big
and 0-day already hit a case where the fixmap PTEs were cleared by
cleanup_highmap().

Aside of that the fixmap API is a pain as it's all backwards.

      xen/mmu: Call xen_cleanhighmap() with 4MB aligned for page tables mapping · 0d805ee7
      由 Zhenzhong Duan 提交于 
      When bootup a PVM guest with large memory(Ex.240GB), XEN provided initial
mapping overlaps with kernel module virtual space. When mapping in this space
is cleared by xen_cleanhighmap(), in certain case there could be an 2MB mapping
left. This is due to XEN initialize 4MB aligned mapping but xen_cleanhighmap()
finish at 2MB boundary.

When module loading is just on top of the 2MB space, got below warning:

WARNING: at mm/vmalloc.c:106 vmap_pte_range+0x14e/0x190()

The function xen_find_pt_base() references

This is often because xen_find_pt_base lacks a __init

Newer compilers inline this function, so it never shows up, but marking
it __init is the right way to avoid the warning.

      x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB mode and TLB freshness tracking · 94b1b03b
      由 Andy Lutomirski 提交于 
      x86's lazy TLB mode used to be fairly weak -- it would switch to
init_mm the first time it tried to flush a lazy TLB.  This meant an
unnecessary CR3 write and, if the flush was remote, an unnecessary
IPI.

Rewrite it entirely.  When we enter lazy mode, we simply remove the
CPU from mm_cpumask.  This means that we need a way to figure out
whether we've missed a flush when we switch back out of lazy mode.
I use the tlb_gen machinery to track whether a context is up to
date.

Note to reviewers: this patch, my itself, looks a bit odd.  I'm
using an array of length 1 containing (ctx_id, tlb_gen) rather than
just storing tlb_gen, and making it at array isn't necessary yet.
I'm doing this because the next few patches add PCID support, and,
with PCID, we need ctx_id, and the array will end up with a length
greater than 1.  Making it an array now means that there will be
less churn and therefore less stress on your eyeballs.

NB: This is dubious but, AFAICT, still correct on Xen and UV.
xen_exit_mmap() uses mm_cpumask() for nefarious purposes and this
patch changes the way that mm_cpumask() works.  This should be okay,
since Xen *also* iterates all online CPUs to find all the CPUs it
needs to twiddle.

The UV tlbflush code is rather dated and should be changed.

Here are some benchmark results, done on a Skylake laptop at 2.3 GHz
(turbo off, intel_pstate requesting max performance) under KVM with
the guest using idle=poll (to avoid artifacts when bouncing between
CPUs).  I haven't done any real statistics here -- I just ran them
in a loop and picked the fastest results that didn't look like
outliers.  Unpatched means commit a4eb8b99, so all the
bookkeeping overhead is gone.

MADV_DONTNEED; touch the page; switch CPUs using sched_setaffinity.  In
an unpatched kernel, MADV_DONTNEED will send an IPI to the previous CPU.
This is intended to be a nearly worst-case test.

  patched:         13.4µs
  unpatched:       21.6µs

Vitaly's pthread_mmap microbenchmark with 8 threads (on four cores),
nrounds = 100, 256M data

  patched:         1.1 seconds or so
  unpatched:       1.9 seconds or so

The sleepup on Vitaly's test appearss to be because it spends a lot
of time blocked on mmap_sem, and this patch avoids sending IPIs to
blocked CPUs.

      x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB to track the actual loaded mm · 3d28ebce
      由 Andy Lutomirski 提交于 
      Lazy TLB state is currently managed in a rather baroque manner.
AFAICT, there are three possible states:

 - Non-lazy.  This means that we're running a user thread or a
   kernel thread that has called use_mm().  current->mm ==
   current->active_mm == cpu_tlbstate.active_mm and
   cpu_tlbstate.state == TLBSTATE_OK.

 - Lazy with user mm.  We're running a kernel thread without an mm
   and we're borrowing an mm_struct.  We have current->mm == NULL,
   current->active_mm == cpu_tlbstate.active_mm, cpu_tlbstate.state
   != TLBSTATE_OK (i.e. TLBSTATE_LAZY or 0).  The current cpu is set
   in mm_cpumask(current->active_mm).  CR3 points to
   current->active_mm->pgd.  The TLB is up to date.

 - Lazy with init_mm.  This happens when we call leave_mm().  We
   have current->mm == NULL, current->active_mm ==
   cpu_tlbstate.active_mm, but that mm is only relelvant insofar as
   the scheduler is tracking it for refcounting.  cpu_tlbstate.state
   != TLBSTATE_OK.  The current cpu is clear in
   mm_cpumask(current->active_mm).  CR3 points to swapper_pg_dir,
   i.e. init_mm->pgd.

This patch simplifies the situation.  Other than perf, x86 stops
caring about current->active_mm at all.  We have
cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm pointing to the mm that CR3 references.  The
TLB is always up to date for that mm.  leave_mm() just switches us
to init_mm.  There are no longer any special cases for mm_cpumask,
and switch_mm() switches mms without worrying about laziness.

After this patch, cpu_tlbstate.state serves only to tell the TLB
flush code whether it may switch to init_mm instead of doing a
normal flush.

This makes fairly extensive changes to xen_exit_mmap(), which used
to look a bit like black magic.

Perf is unchanged.  With or without this change, perf may behave a bit
erratically if it tries to read user memory in kernel thread context.
We should build on this patch to teach perf to never look at user
memory when cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm != current->mm.

      x86/mm: Pass flush_tlb_info to flush_tlb_others() etc · a2055abe
      由 Andy Lutomirski 提交于 
      Rather than passing all the contents of flush_tlb_info to
flush_tlb_others(), pass a pointer to the structure directly. For
consistency, this also removes the unnecessary cpu parameter from
uv_flush_tlb_others() to make its signature match the other
*flush_tlb_others() functions.

This serves two purposes:

 - It will dramatically simplify future patches that change struct
   flush_tlb_info, which I'm planning to do.

 - struct flush_tlb_info is an adequate description of what to do
   for a local flush, too, so by reusing it we can remove duplicated
   code between local and remove flushes in a future patch.

      x86: Remap GDT tables in the fixmap section · 69218e47
      由 Thomas Garnier 提交于 
      Each processor holds a GDT in its per-cpu structure. The sgdt
instruction gives the base address of the current GDT. This address can
be used to bypass KASLR memory randomization. With another bug, an
attacker could target other per-cpu structures or deduce the base of
the main memory section (PAGE_OFFSET).

This patch relocates the GDT table for each processor inside the
fixmap section. The space is reserved based on number of supported
processors.

For consistency, the remapping is done by default on 32 and 64-bit.

Each processor switches to its remapped GDT at the end of
initialization. For hibernation, the main processor returns with the
original GDT and switches back to the remapping at completion.

This patch was tested on both architectures. Hibernation and KVM were
both tested specially for their usage of the GDT.

Thanks to Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> for testing and

      x86/xen: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h · 7a2463dc
      由 Paul Gortmaker 提交于 
      Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.

      Check whether the hypervisor supplied p2m list is placed at a location
which is conflicting with the target E820 map. If this is the case
relocate it to a new area unused up to now and compliant to the E820
map.

As the p2m list might by huge (up to several GB) and is required to be
mapped virtually, set up a temporary mapping for the copied list.

For pvh domains just delete the p2m related information from start
info instead of reserving the p2m memory, as we don't need it at all.

For 32 bit kernels adjust the memblock_reserve() parameters in order
to cover the page tables only. This requires to memblock_reserve() the
start_info page on it's own.

To be able to move the p2m list to another pfn range, which is needed
for support of huge RAM, this memblock_reserve() must be split up to
cover all affected reserved pages explicitly.

The affected pages are:

      Check whether the page tables built by the domain builder are at
memory addresses which are in conflict with the target memory map.
If this is the case just panic instead of running into problems
later.

      xen: eliminate scalability issues from initial mapping setup · 8f5b0c63
      由 Juergen Gross 提交于 
      Direct Xen to place the initial P->M table outside of the initial
mapping, as otherwise the 1G (implementation) / 2G (theoretical)
restriction on the size of the initial mapping limits the amount
of memory a domain can be handed initially.

As the initial P->M table is copied rather early during boot to
domain private memory and it's initial virtual mapping is dropped,
the easiest way to avoid virtual address conflicts with other
addresses in the kernel is to use a user address area for the
virtual address of the initial P->M table. This allows us to just
throw away the page tables of the initial mapping after the copy
without having to care about address invalidation.

It should be noted that this patch won't enable a pv-domain to USE
more than 512 GB of RAM. It just enables it to be started with a
P->M table covering more memory. This is especially important for
being able to boot a Dom0 on a system with more than 512 GB memory.
