kvm: arm64: vgic: fix hyp panic with 64k pages on juno platform

2014-07-30T12:35:42Z

If the physical address of GICV isn't page-aligned, then we end up creating a stage-2 mapping of the page containing it, which causes us to map neighbouring memory locations directly into the guest. As an example, consider a platform with GICV at physical 0x2c02f000 running a 64k-page host kernel. If qemu maps this into the guest at 0x80010000, then guest physical addresses 0x80010000 - 0x8001efff will map host physical region 0x2c020000 - 0x2c02efff. Accesses to these physical regions may cause UNPREDICTABLE behaviour, for example, on the Juno platform this will cause an SError exception to EL3, which brings down the entire physical CPU resulting in RCU stalls / HYP panics / host crashing / wasted weeks of debugging. SBSA recommends that systems alias the 4k GICV across the bounding 64k region, in which case GICV physical could be described as 0x2c020000 in the above scenario. This patch fixes the problem by failing the vgic probe if the physical base address or the size of GICV aren't page-aligned. Note that this generated a warning in dmesg about freeing enabled IRQs, so I had to move the IRQ enabling later in the probe.

sched: Fix signedness bug in yield_to()

2014-06-05T09:52:13Z

yield_to() is supposed to return -ESRCH if there is no task to yield to, but because the type is bool that is the same as returning true. The only place I see which cares is kvm_vcpu_on_spin().

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "At over 200 commits, covering almost all supported architectures, this was a pretty active cycle for KVM. Changes include: - a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration, GDB support and more - ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by Catalin) - initial POWER8 and little-endian host support - support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets - pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace interface and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware - for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17. Still, we have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have always worked). And some optimizations too. The only missing architecture here is ia64. It's not a coincidence that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (203 commits) KVM: add missing cleanup_srcu_struct KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Rework SLB switching code KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Use SLB entry 0 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix machine check delivery to guest KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Work around POWER8 performance monitor bugs KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make sure we don't miss dirty pages KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix dirty map for hugepages KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Put huge-page HPTEs in rmap chain for base address KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix check for running inside guest in global_invalidates() KVM: PPC: Book3S: Move KVM_REG_PPC_WORT to an unused register number KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add ONE_REG register names that were missed KVM: PPC: Add CAP to indicate hcall fixes KVM: PPC: MPIC: Reset IRQ source private members KVM: PPC: Graciously fail broken LE hypercalls PPC: ePAPR: Fix hypercall on LE guest KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: Remove open coded make_dsisr in alignment handler KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: Always use the saved DAR value PPC: KVM: Make NX bit available with magic page KVM: PPC: Disable NX for old magic page using guests KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: HV: Add mixed page-size support for guest ...

kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING

2014-05-05T14:29:11Z

When starting lots of dataplane devices the bootup takes very long on Christian's s390 with irqfd patches. With larger setups he is even able to trigger some timeouts in some components. Turns out that the KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl takes very long (strace claims up to 0.1 sec) when having multiple CPUs. This is caused by the synchronize_rcu and the HZ=100 of s390. By changing the code to use a private srcu we can speed things up. This patch reduces the boot time till mounting root from 8 to 2 seconds on my s390 guest with 100 disks. Uses of hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_init_rcu are fine because they do not have lockdep checks (hlist_for_each_entry_rcu uses rcu_dereference_raw rather than rcu_dereference, and write-sides do not do rcu lockdep at all). Note that we're hardly relying on the "sleepable" part of srcu. We just want SRCU's faster detection of grace periods. Testing was done by Andrew Theurer using netperf tests STREAM, MAERTS and RR. The difference between results "before" and "after" the patch has mean -0.2% and standard deviation 0.6%. Using a paired t-test on the data points says that there is a 2.5% probability that the patch is the cause of the performance difference (rather than a random fluctuation). (Restricting the t-test to RR, which is the most likely to be affected, changes the numbers to respectively -0.3% mean, 0.7% stdev, and 8% probability that the numbers actually say something about the patch. The probability increases mostly because there are fewer data points). Cc: Marcelo Tosatti Cc: Michael S.

KVM: ARM: vgic: Fix the overlap check action about setting the GICD & GICC base address.

2014-04-29T09:01:43Z

Currently below check in vgic_ioaddr_overlap will always succeed, because the vgic dist base and vgic cpu base are still kept UNDEF after initialization. The code as follows will be return forever. if (IS_VGIC_ADDR_UNDEF(dist) || IS_VGIC_ADDR_UNDEF(cpu)) return 0; So, before invoking the vgic_ioaddr_overlap, it needs to set the corresponding base address firstly.

2014-04-28T15:24:55Z

async_pf_execute() passes tsk == current to gup(), this is doesn't hurt but unnecessary and misleading. "tsk" is only used to account the number of faults and current is the random workqueue thread. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Suggested-by: Andrea Arcangeli Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: async_pf: kill the unnecessary use_mm/unuse_mm async_pf_execute()

2014-04-28T15:24:25Z

async_pf_execute() has no reasons to adopt apf->mm, gup(current, mm) should work just fine even if current has another or NULL ->mm. Recently kvm_async_page_present_sync() was added insedie the "use_mm" section, but it seems that it doesn't need current->mm too.
