Define pr_fmt using KBUILD_MODNAME for all KVM x86 code so that printks
use consistent formatting across common x86, Intel, and AMD code. In
addition to providing consistent print formatting, using KBUILD_MODNAME,
e.g. kvm_amd and kvm_intel, allows referencing SVM and VMX (and SEV and
SGX and ...) as technologies without generating weird messages, and
without causing naming conflicts with other kernel code, e.g. "SEV: ",
"tdx: ", "sgx: " etc.. are all used by the kernel for non-KVM subsystems.
Opportunistically move away from printk() for prints that need to be
modified anyways, e.g. to drop a manual "kvm: " prefix.
Opportunistically convert a few SGX WARNs that are similarly modified to
WARN_ONCE; in the very unlikely event that the WARNs fire, odds are good
that they would fire repeatedly and spam the kernel log without providing
unique information in each print.
Note, defining pr_fmt yields undesirable results for code that uses KVM's
printk wrappers, e.g. vcpu_unimpl(). But, that's a pre-existing problem
as SVM/kvm_amd already defines a pr_fmt, and thankfully use of KVM's
wrappers is relatively limited in KVM x86 code.

Make vcpu0 the arbitrary owner of the PIT, as was intended when PIT
migration was added by commit 2f5997140f ("KVM: migrate PIT timer").
The PIT was unintentionally turned into being owned by the BSP by commit
c5af89b68a ("KVM: Introduce kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() function."), and was then
unintentionally converted to a shared ownership model when
kvm_vcpu_is_bsp() was modified to check the APIC base MSR instead of
hardcoding vcpu0 as the BSP.
Functionally, this just means the PIT's hrtimer is migrated less often.
The real motivation is to remove the usage of kvm_vcpu_is_bsp(), so that
more legacy/broken crud can be removed in a future patch.

There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the life of
the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's cgroup. If the
allocations aren't tied to the process, the OOM killer will not know
that killing the process will free the associated kernel memory.
Add __GFP_ACCOUNT flags to many of the allocations which are not yet being
charged to the VM process's cgroup.
Tested:
Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a 64 bit Haswell machine, the patch
introduced no new failures.
Ran a kernel memory accounting test which creates a VM to touch
memory and then checks that the kernel memory allocated for the
process is within certain bounds.
With this patch we account for much more of the vmalloc and slab memory
allocated for the VM.
There remain a few allocations which should be charged to the VM's
cgroup but are not. In x86, they include:
vcpu->arch.pio_data
There allocations are unaccounted in this patch because they are mapped
to userspace, and accounting them to a cgroup causes problems. This
should be addressed in a future patch.

Use the new API to create and destroy the "kvm-pit" kthread
worker. The API hides some implementation details.
In particular, kthread_create_worker() allocates and initializes
struct kthread_worker. It runs the kthread the right way
and stores task_struct into the worker structure.
kthread_destroy_worker() flushes all pending works, stops
the kthread and frees the structure.
This patch does not change the existing behavior except for
dynamically allocating struct kthread_worker and storing
only the pointer of this structure.
It is compile tested only because I did not find an easy
way how to run the code. Well, it should be pretty safe

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.
The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each
worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process
queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.
This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:
__init_kthread_worker() -> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker() -> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work() -> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work() -> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work() -> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work() -> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker() -> kthread_flush_worker()
Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.
Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:
+ "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".
+ INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros
+ init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
functions. It looks much better if all the functions
use the same scheme.
+ There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
functions use the same naming scheme.
+ there are several precedents for such init() function
names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(),
+ It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

The lock was an overkill, the same can be done with atomics.
A mb() was added in kvm_pit_ack_irq, to pair with implicit barrier
between pit_timer_fn and pit_do_work. The mb() prevents a race that
could happen if pending == 0 and irq_ack == 0:
kvm_pit_ack_irq: | pit_timer_fn:
p = atomic_read(&ps->pending); |
| atomic_inc(&ps->pending);
| queue_work(pit_do_work);
| pit_do_work:
| atomic_xchg(&ps->irq_ack, 0);
| return;
atomic_set(&ps->irq_ack, 1); |
if (p == 0) return; |
where the interrupt would not be delivered in this tick of pit_timer_fn.
PIT would have eventually delivered the interrupt, but we sacrifice
perofmance to make sure that interrupts are not needlessly delayed.
sfence isn't enough: atomic_dec_if_positive does atomic_read first and
x86 can reorder loads before stores. lfence isn't enough: store can
pass lfence, turning it into a nop. A compiler barrier would be more
than enough as CPU needs to stall for unbelievably long to use fences.
This patch doesn't do anything in kvm_pit_reset_reinject, because any
order of resets can race, but the result differs by at most one
interrupt, which is ok, because it's the same result as if the reset
happened at a slightly different time. (Original code didn't protect
the reset path with a proper lock, so users have to be robust.)

Discard policy uses ack_notifiers to prevent injection of PIT interrupts
before EOI from the last one.
This patch changes the policy to always try to deliver the interrupt,
which makes a difference when its vector is in ISR.
Old implementation would drop the interrupt, but proposed one injects to
IRR, like real hardware would.
The old policy breaks legacy NMI watchdogs, where PIT is used through
virtual wire (LVT0): PIT never sends an interrupt before receiving EOI,
thus a guest deadlock with disabled interrupts will stop NMIs.
Note that NMI doesn't do EOI, so PIT also had to send a normal interrupt
through IOAPIC. (KVM's PIT is deeply rotten and luckily not used much
in modern systems.)
Even though there is a chance of regressions, I think we can fix the
LVT0 NMI bug without introducing a new tick policy.

The kvm i8254 emulation for counter 0 (but not for counters 1 and 2)
has at least two bugs in mode 0:
1. The OUT bit, computed by pit_get_out(), is never set high.
2. The counter value, computed by pit_get_count(), wraps back around to
the initial counter value, rather than wrapping back to 0xFFFF
(which is the behavior described in the comment in __kpit_elapsed,
the behavior implemented by qemu, and the behavior observed on AMD
hardware).
The bug stems from __kpit_elapsed computing the elapsed time mod the
initial counter value (stored as nanoseconds in ps->period). This is both
unnecessary (none of the callers of kpit_elapsed expect the value to be
at most the initial counter value) and incorrect (it causes pit_get_count
to appear to wrap around to the initial counter value rather than 0xFFFF).
Removing this mod from __kpit_elapsed fixes both of the above bugs.

Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO)
is to call the read or write callback for each device registered
on the bus until we find a device which handles it.
Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds
and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO
operation.
Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to
a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear
search.
Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with
200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a
different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits).
Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the
patch the guest does 274k exits per second.
