Currently we use vgic_irq_lr_map in order to track which LRs hold which
IRQs, and lr_used bitmap in order to track which LRs are used or free.
vgic_irq_lr_map is actually used only for piggy-back optimization, and
can be easily replaced by iteration over lr_used. This is good because in
future, when LPI support is introduced, number of IRQs will grow up to at
least 16384, while numbers from 1024 to 8192 are never going to be used.
This would be a huge memory waste.
In its turn, lr_used is also completely redundant since
ae705930fc ("arm/arm64: KVM: Keep elrsr/aisr
in sync with software model"), because together with lr_used we also update
elrsr. This allows to easily replace lr_used with elrsr, inverting all
conditions (because in elrsr '1' means 'free').

The VGIC and timer code for KVM arm/arm64 doesn't have any tracepoints
or tracepoint infrastructure defined. Rewriting some of the timer code

trace points once and for all and we can easily expand with additional
trace points in these files as we go along.

We mark edge-triggered interrupts with the HW bit set as queued to
prevent the VGIC code from injecting LRs with both the Active and
Pending bits set at the same time while also setting the HW bit,
because the hardware does not support this.
However, this means that we must also clear the queued flag when we sync
back a LR where the state on the physical distributor went from active
to inactive because the guest deactivated the interrupt. At this point
we must also check if the interrupt is pending on the distributor, and
tell the VGIC to queue it again if it is.
Since these actions on the sync path are extremely close to those for
level-triggered interrupts, rename process_level_irq to
process_queued_irq, allowing it to cater for both cases.

The arch timer currently uses edge-triggered semantics in the sense that
the line is never sampled by the vgic and lowering the line from the
timer to the vgic doesn't have any effect on the pending state of
virtual interrupts in the vgic. This means that we do not support a
guest with the otherwise valid behavior of (1) disable interrupts (2)
enable the timer (3) disable the timer (4) enable interrupts. Such a
guest would validly not expect to see any interrupts on real hardware,
but will see interrupts on KVM.
This patch fixes this shortcoming through the following series of
changes.
First, we change the flow of the timer/vgic sync/flush operations. Now
the timer is always flushed/synced before the vgic, because the vgic
samples the state of the timer output. This has the implication that we
move the timer operations in to non-preempible sections, but that is
fine after the previous commit getting rid of hrtimer schedules on every
entry/exit.
Second, we change the internal behavior of the timer, letting the timer
keep track of its previous output state, and only lower/raise the line
to the vgic when the state changes. Note that in theory this could have
been accomplished more simply by signalling the vgic every time the
state *potentially* changed, but we don't want to be hitting the vgic
more often than necessary.
Third, we get rid of the use of the map->active field in the vgic and
instead simply set the interrupt as active on the physical distributor
whenever the input to the GIC is asserted and conversely clear the
physical active state when the input to the GIC is deasserted.
Fourth, and finally, we now initialize the timer PPIs (and all the other
unused PPIs for now), to be level-triggered, and modify the sync code to
sample the line state on HW sync and re-inject a new interrupt if it is
still pending at that time.

We currently initialize the SGIs to be enabled in the VGIC code, but we
use the VGIC_NR_PPIS define for this purpose, instead of the the more

The GICD_ICFGR allows the bits for the SGIs and PPIs to be read only.
We currently simulate this behavior by writing a hardcoded value to the
register for the SGIs and PPIs on every write of these bits to the
register (ignoring what the guest actually wrote), and by writing the
same value as the reset value to the register.
This is a bit counter-intuitive, as the register is RO for these bits,
and we can just implement it that way, allowing us to control the value
of the bits purely in the reset code.

Currently vgic_process_maintenance() processes dealing with a completed
level-triggered interrupt directly, but we are soon going to reuse this
logic for level-triggered mapped interrupts with the HW bit set, so
move this logic into a separate static function.
Probably the most scary part of this commit is convincing yourself that
the current flow is safe compared to the old one. In the following I
try to list the changes and why they are harmless:
Move vgic_irq_clear_queued after kvm_notify_acked_irq:
Harmless because the only potential effect of clearing the queued
flag wrt. kvm_set_irq is that vgic_update_irq_pending does not set
the pending bit on the emulated CPU interface or in the
pending_on_cpu bitmask if the function is called with level=1.
However, the point of kvm_notify_acked_irq is to call kvm_set_irq
with level=0, and we set the queued flag again in
__kvm_vgic_sync_hwstate later on if the level is stil high.
Move vgic_set_lr before kvm_notify_acked_irq:
Also, harmless because the LR are cpu-local operations and
kvm_notify_acked only affects the dist
Move vgic_dist_irq_clear_soft_pend after kvm_notify_acked_irq:
Also harmless, because now we check the level state in the
clear_soft_pend function and lower the pending bits if the level is
low.

We currently schedule a soft timer every time we exit the guest if the
timer did not expire while running the guest. This is really not
necessary, because the only work we do in the timer work function is to
kick the vcpu.
Kicking the vcpu does two things:
(1) If the vpcu thread is on a waitqueue, make it runnable and remove it
from the waitqueue.
(2) If the vcpu is running on a different physical CPU from the one
doing the kick, it sends a reschedule IPI.
The second case cannot happen, because the soft timer is only ever
scheduled when the vcpu is not running. The first case is only relevant
when the vcpu thread is on a waitqueue, which is only the case when the
vcpu thread has called kvm_vcpu_block().
Therefore, we only need to make sure a timer is scheduled for
kvm_vcpu_block(), which we do by encapsulating all calls to
kvm_vcpu_block() with kvm_timer_{un}schedule calls.
Additionally, we only schedule a soft timer if the timer is enabled and
unmasked, since it is useless otherwise.
Note that theoretically userspace can use the SET_ONE_REG interface to
change registers that should cause the timer to fire, even if the vcpu
is blocked without a scheduled timer, but this case was not supported
before this patch and we leave it for future work for now.

Some times it is useful for architecture implementations of KVM to know
when the VCPU thread is about to block or when it comes back from
blocking (arm/arm64 needs to know this to properly implement timers, for
example).
Therefore provide a generic architecture callback function in line with
what we do elsewhere for KVM generic-arch interactions.

We currently do a single update of the vgic state when the distributor
enable/disable control register is accessed and then bypass updating the
state for as long as the distributor remains disabled.
This is incorrect, because updating the state does not consider the
distributor enable bit, and this you can end up in a situation where an
interrupt is marked as pending on the CPU interface, but not pending on
the distributor, which is an impossible state to be in, and triggers a
warning. Consider for example the following sequence of events:
1. An interrupt is marked as pending on the distributor
- the interrupt is also forwarded to the CPU interface
2. The guest turns off the distributor (it's about to do a reboot)
- we stop updating the CPU interface state from now on
3. The guest disables the pending interrupt
- we remove the pending state from the distributor, but don't touch
the CPU interface, see point 2.
Since the distributor disable bit really means that no interrupts should
be forwarded to the CPU interface, we modify the code to keep updating
the internal VGIC state, but always set the CPU interface pending bits
to zero when the distributor is disabled.

When a guest reboots or offlines/onlines CPUs, it is not uncommon for it
to clear the pending and active states of an interrupt through the
emulated VGIC distributor. However, since the architected timers are
defined by the architecture to be level triggered and the guest
rightfully expects them to be that, but we emulate them as
edge-triggered, we have to mimic level-triggered behavior for an
edge-triggered virtual implementation.
We currently do not signal the VGIC when the map->active field is true,
because it indicates that the guest has already been signalled of the
interrupt as required. Normally this field is set to false when the
guest deactivates the virtual interrupt through the sync path.
We also need to catch the case where the guest deactivates the interrupt
through the emulated distributor, again allowing guests to boot even if
the original virtual timer signal hit before the guest's GIC
initialization sequence is run.

We have an interesting issue when the guest disables the timer interrupt
on the VGIC, which happens when turning VCPUs off using PSCI, for
example.
The problem is that because the guest disables the virtual interrupt at
the VGIC level, we never inject interrupts to the guest and therefore
never mark the interrupt as active on the physical distributor. The
host also never takes the timer interrupt (we only use the timer device
to trigger a guest exit and everything else is done in software), so the
interrupt does not become active through normal means.
The result is that we keep entering the guest with a programmed timer
that will always fire as soon as we context switch the hardware timer
state and run the guest, preventing forward progress for the VCPU.
Since the active state on the physical distributor is really part of the
timer logic, it is the job of our virtual arch timer driver to manage
this state.
The timer->map->active boolean field indicates whether we have signalled
this interrupt to the vgic and if that interrupt is still pending or
active. As long as that is the case, the hardware doesn't have to
generate physical interrupts and therefore we mark the interrupt as
active on the physical distributor.
We also have to restore the pending state of an interrupt that was
queued to an LR but was retired from the LR for some reason, while
remaining pending in the LR.

Merge tag 'kvm-arm-for-4.3-rc2-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into kvm-master
Second set of KVM/ARM changes for 4.3-rc2
- Workaround for a Cortex-A57 erratum
- Bug fix for the debugging infrastructure
- Fix for 32bit guests with more than 4GB of address space
on a 32bit host
- A number of fixes for the (unusual) case when we don't use

- Removal of ThumbEE handling on arm64, since these have been
dropped from the architecture before anyone actually ever
built a CPU
- Remove the KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS limitation which has become
fairly pointless
This patch removes config option of KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS,
and like other ARCHs, just choose the maximum allowed
value from hardware, and follows the reasons:
1) from distribution view, the option has to be
defined as the max allowed value because it need to
meet all kinds of virtulization applications and
need to support most of SoCs;
2) using a bigger value doesn't introduce extra memory
consumption, and the help text in Kconfig isn't accurate
because kvm_vpu structure isn't allocated until request
of creating VCPU is sent from QEMU;
3) the main effect is that the field of vcpus[] in 'struct kvm'
becomes a bit bigger(sizeof(void *) per vcpu) and need more cache
lines to hold the structure, but 'struct kvm' is one generic struct,
and it has worked well on other ARCHs already in this way. Also,
the world switch frequecy is often low, for example, it is ~2000
when running kernel building load in VM from APM xgene KVM host,
so the effect is very small, and the difference can't be observed
in my test at all.

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.

Currently, there is no function for clearing pte young bit that would meet

to add a new mmu-notifier callback, clear_young, since there is no method
for testing-and-clearing a secondary pte w/o flushing tlb. The new method
is not mandatory and currently only implemented by KVM.

There is a downside of always-poll since poll is still happened for idle
vCPUs which can waste cpu usage. This patchset add the ability to adjust
halt_poll_ns dynamically, to grow halt_poll_ns when shot halt is detected,
and to shrink halt_poll_ns when long halt is detected.
There are two new kernel parameters for changing the halt_poll_ns:
halt_poll_ns_grow and halt_poll_ns_shrink.
no-poll always-poll dynamic-poll

Idle (nohz) vCPU %c0 0.15% 0.3% 0.2%
Idle (250HZ) vCPU %c0 1.1% 4.6%~14% 1.2%
TCP_RR latency 34us 27us 26.7us
"Idle (X) vCPU %c0" is the percent of time the physical cpu spent in
c0 over 60 seconds (each vCPU is pinned to a pCPU). (nohz) means the
guest was tickless. (250HZ) means the guest was ticking at 250HZ.
The big win is with ticking operating systems. Running the linux guest
with nohz=off (and HZ=250), we save 3.4%~12.8% CPUs/second and get close
to no-polling overhead levels by using the dynamic-poll. The savings
should be even higher for higher frequency ticks.

We currently set the physical active state only when we *inject* a new
pending virtual interrupt, but this is actually not correct, because we
could have been preempted and run something else on the system that
resets the active state to clear. This causes us to run the VM with the
timer set to fire, but without setting the physical active state.
The solution is to always check the LR configurations, and we if have a
mapped interrupt in the LR in either the pending or active state
(virtual), then set the physical active state.

Merge tag 'signed-kvm-ppc-next' of git://github.com/agraf/linux-2.6 into kvm-queue
Patch queue for ppc - 2015-08-22
Highlights for KVM PPC this time around:
- Book3S: A few bug fixes
- Book3S: Allow micro-threading on POWER8
In order to remove the crude hack where we sneak the masked bit
into the timer's control register, make use of the phys_irq_map
API control the active state of the interrupt.
This causes some limited changes to allow for potential error
propagation.

Virtual interrupts mapped to a HW interrupt should only be triggered
from inside the kernel. Otherwise, you could end up confusing the
kernel (and the GIC's) state machine.
Rearrange the injection path so that kvm_vgic_inject_irq is
used for non-mapped interrupts, and kvm_vgic_inject_mapped_irq is
used for mapped interrupts. The latter should only be called from
inside the kernel (timer, irqfd).

In order to control the active state of an interrupt, introduce
a pair of accessors allowing the state to be set/queried.
This only affects the logical state, and the HW state will only be
applied at world-switch time.

To allow a HW interrupt to be injected into a guest, we lookup the
guest virtual interrupt in the irq_phys_map list, and if we have
a match, encode both interrupts in the LR.
We also mark the interrupt as "active" at the host distributor level.
On guest EOI on the virtual interrupt, the host interrupt will be
deactivated.

In order to be able to feed physical interrupts to a guest, we need
to be able to establish the virtual-physical mapping between the two
worlds.
The mappings are kept in a set of RCU lists, indexed by virtual interrupts.

We only set the irq_queued flag for level interrupts, meaning
that "!vgic_irq_is_queued(vcpu, irq)" is a good enough predicate
for all interrupts.
This will allow us to inject edge HW interrupts, for which the
state ACTIVE+PENDING is not allowed.

If there are no assigned devices, the guest PAT are not providing
any useful information and can be overridden to writeback; VMX
always does this because it has the "IPAT" bit in its extended
page table entries, but SVM does not have anything similar.
Hook into VFIO and legacy device assignment so that they
provide this information to KVM.

Commit 1cde2930e1 ("sched/preempt: Add static_key() to preempt_notifiers")
had two problems. First, the preempt-notifier API needs to sleep with the
addition of the static_key, we do however need to hold off preemption
while modifying the preempt notifier list, otherwise a preemption could
observe an inconsistent list state. KVM correctly registers and
unregisters preempt notifiers with preemption disabled, so the sleep
caused dmesg splats.
Second, KVM registers and unregisters preemption notifiers very often
(in vcpu_load/vcpu_put). With a single uniprocessor guest the static key
would move between 0 and 1 continuously, hitting the slow path on every
userspace exit.
To fix this, wrap the static_key inc/dec in a new API, and call it from
KVM.

The allocation size of the kvm_irq_routing_table depends on
the number of irq routing entries because they are all
allocated with one kzalloc call.
When the irq routing table gets bigger this requires high
order allocations which fail from time to time:
qemu-kvm: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0xd0
This patch fixes this issue by breaking up the allocation of
the table and its entries into individual kzalloc calls.
These could all be satisfied with order-0 allocations, which
are less likely to fail.
The downside of this change is the lower performance, because
of more calls to kzalloc. But given how often kvm_set_irq_routing
is called in the lifetime of a guest, it doesn't really
matter much.
