Hyper-V identifies vCPUs by Virtual Processor Index, which can be queried via HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX msr. It is defined by the spec as a sequential number which can't exceed the maximum number of vCPUs per VM. APIC ids can be sparse and thus aren't a valid replacement for VP indices. Current KVM uses its internal vcpu index as VP_INDEX. However, to make it predictable and persistent across VM migrations, the userspace has to control the value of VP_INDEX. This patch achieves that, by storing vp_index explicitly on vcpu, and allowing HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX to be set from the host side. For compatibility it's initialized to KVM vcpu index. Also a few variables are renamed to make clear distinction betweed this Hyper-V vp_index and KVM vcpu_id (== APIC id). Besides, a new capability, KVM_CAP_HYPERV_VP_INDEX, is added to allow the userspace to skip attempting msr writes where unsupported, to avoid spamming error logs. Signed-off-by:

Adds another flag bit (bit 2) to MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN. If bit 2 is 1, async page faults are delivered to L1 as #PF vmexits; if bit 2 is 0, kvm_can_do_async_pf returns 0 if in guest mode. This is similar to what svm.c wanted to do all along, but it is only enabled for Linux as L1 hypervisor. Foreign hypervisors must never receive async page faults as vmexits, because they'd probably be very confused about that.

There is a flaw in the Hyper-V SynIC implementation in KVM: when message page or event flags page is enabled by setting the corresponding msr, KVM zeroes it out. This is problematic because on migration the corresponding MSRs are loaded on the destination, so the content of those pages is lost. This went unnoticed so far because the only user of those pages was in-KVM hyperv synic timers, which could continue working despite that zeroing. Newer QEMU uses those pages for Hyper-V VMBus implementation, and zeroing them breaks the migration. Besides, in newer QEMU the content of those pages is fully managed by QEMU, so zeroing them is undesirable even when writing the MSRs from the guest side. To support this new scheme, introduce a new capability, KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2, which, when enabled, makes sure that the synic pages aren't zeroed out in KVM. Signed-off-by:

The backwards_tsc_observed global introduced in commit 16a96021 is never reset to false. If a VM happens to be running while the host is suspended (a common source of the TSC jumping backwards), master clock will never be enabled again for any VM. In contrast, if no VM is running while the host is suspended, master clock is unaffected. This is inconsistent and unnecessarily strict. Let's track the backwards_tsc_observed variable separately and let each VM start with a clean slate. Real world impact: My Windows VMs get slower after my laptop undergoes a suspend/resume cycle. The only way to get the perf back is unloading and reloading the kvm module. Signed-off-by:

__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests. Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example) - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive reclaim - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when the request is a performance optimization and there is another fallback for a slow path. - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) - non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh context with an expensive slow path fallback. - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently). - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer is not invoked. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer won't be triggered. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed. This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders. Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL because they already had their semantic. No new users are added. __alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point. This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

Patch series "mm: give __GFP_REPEAT a better semantic". The main motivation for the change is that the current implementation of __GFP_REPEAT is not very much useful. The documentation says: * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt * _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation. It just fails to mention that this is true only for large (costly) high order which has been the case since the flag was introduced. A similar semantic would be really helpful for smal orders as well, though, because we have places where a failure with a specific fallback error handling is preferred to a potential endless loop inside the page allocator. The earlier cleanup dropped __GFP_REPEAT usage for low (!costly) order users so only those which might use larger orders have stayed. One new user added in the meantime is addressed in patch 1. Let's rename the flag to something more verbose and use it for existing users. Semantic for those will not change. Then implement low (!costly) orders failure path which is hit after the page allocator is about to invoke the oom killer. With that we have a good counterpart for __GFP_NORETRY and finally can tell try as hard as possible without the OOM killer. Xfs code already has an existing annotation for allocations which are allowed to fail and we can trivially map them to the new gfp flag because it will provide the semantic KM_MAYFAIL wants. Christoph didn't consider the new flag really necessary but didn't respond to the OOM killer aspect of the change so I have kept the patch. If this is still seen as not really needed I can drop the patch. kvmalloc will allow also !costly high order allocations to retry hard before falling back to the vmalloc. drm/i915 asked for the new semantic explicitly. Memory migration code, especially for the memory hotplug, should back off rather than invoking the OOM killer as well. This patch (of 6): Commit 3377e227 ("MIPS: Add 48-bit VA space (and 4-level page tables) for 4K pages.") has added a new __GFP_REPEAT user but using this flag doesn't really make any sense for order-0 request which is the case here because PUD_ORDER is 0. __GFP_REPEAT has historically effect only on allocation requests with order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. This doesn't introduce any functional change. This is a preparatory patch for later work which renames the flag and redefines its semantic.

This adds support for compiling with a rough equivalent to the glibc _FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 feature, providing compile-time and runtime buffer overflow checks for string.h functions when the compiler determines the size of the source or destination buffer at compile-time. Unlike glibc, it covers buffer reads in addition to writes. GNU C __builtin_*_chk intrinsics are avoided because they would force a much more complex implementation. They aren't designed to detect read overflows and offer no real benefit when using an implementation based on inline checks. Inline checks don't add up to much code size and allow full use of the regular string intrinsics while avoiding the need for a bunch of _chk functions and per-arch assembly to avoid wrapper overhead. This detects various overflows at compile-time in various drivers and some non-x86 core kernel code. There will likely be issues caught in regular use at runtime too. Future improvements left out of initial implementation for simplicity, as it's all quite optional and can be done incrementally: * Some of the fortified string functions (strncpy, strcat), don't yet place a limit on reads from the source based on __builtin_object_size of the source buffer. * Extending coverage to more string functions like strlcat. * It should be possible to optionally use __builtin_object_size(x, 1) for some functions (C strings) to detect intra-object overflows (like glibc's _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but for now this takes the conservative approach to avoid likely compatibility issues. * The compile-time checks should be made available via a separate config option which can be enabled by default (or always enabled) once enough time has passed to get the issues it catches fixed. Kees said: "This is great to have. While it was out-of-tree code, it would have blocked at least CVE-2016-3858 from being exploitable (improper size argument to strlcpy()).

Testing the fortified string functions[1] would cause a kernel panic on boot in test_feature_fixups() due to a buffer overflow in memcmp. This boils down to things like this: extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1; extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1_orig; check(memcmp(&ftr_fixup_test1, &ftr_fixup_test1_orig, size) == 0); We know that these are asm labels so it is safe to read up to 'size' bytes at those addresses. However, because we have passed the address of a single unsigned int to memcmp, the compiler believes the underlying object is in fact a single unsigned int. So if size > sizeof(unsigned int), there will be a panic at runtime. We can fix this by changing the types: instead of calling the asm labels unsigned ints, call them unsigned int[]s. Therefore the size isn't incorrectly determined at compile time and we get a regular unsafe memcmp and no panic.

Implement an arch-speicfic watchdog rather than use the perf-based hardlockup detector. The new watchdog takes the soft-NMI directly, rather than going through perf. Perf interrupts are to be made maskable in future, so that would prevent the perf detector from working in those regions. Additionally, implement a SMP based detector where all CPUs watch one another by pinging a shared cpumask. This is because powerpc Book3S does not have a true periodic local NMI, but some platforms do implement a true NMI IPI. If a CPU is stuck with interrupts hard disabled, the soft-NMI watchdog does not work, but the SMP watchdog will. Even on platforms without a true NMI IPI to get a good trace from the stuck CPU, other CPUs will notice the lockup sufficiently to report it and panic.

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors. An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces. sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

vmcoreinfo_max_size stands for the vmcoreinfo_data, the correct one we should use is vmcoreinfo_note whose total size is VMCOREINFO_NOTE_SIZE. Like explained in commit 77019967 ("kdump: fix exported size of vmcoreinfo note"), it should not affect the actual function, but we better fix it, also this change should be safe and backward compatible. After this, we can get rid of variable vmcoreinfo_max_size, let's use the corresponding macros directly, fewer variables means more safety for vmcoreinfo operation.

As Eric said, "what we need to do is move the variable vmcoreinfo_note out of the kernel's .bss section. And modify the code to regenerate and keep this information in something like the control page. Definitely something like this needs a page all to itself, and ideally far away from any other kernel data structures. I clearly was not watching closely the data someone decided to keep this silly thing in the kernel's .bss section." This patch allocates extra pages for these vmcoreinfo_XXX variables, one advantage is that it enhances some safety of vmcoreinfo, because vmcoreinfo now is kept far away from other kernel data structures.

Enable the Virtual VMLOAD VMSAVE feature. This is done by setting bit 1 at position B8h in the vmcb. The processor must have nested paging enabled, be in 64-bit mode and have support for the Virtual VMLOAD VMSAVE feature for the bit to be set in the vmcb. Signed-off-by:

The lbr_ctl variable in the vmcb control area is used to enable or disable Last Branch Record (LBR) virtualization. However, this is to be done using only bit 0 of the variable. To correct this and to prepare for a new feature, change the current usage to work only on a particular bit. Signed-off-by:

kvm_skip_emulated_instruction handles the singlestep debug exception which is something we almost always want. This commit (specifically the change in rdmsr_interception) makes the debug.flat KVM unit test pass on AMD. Two call sites still call skip_emulated_instruction directly: * In svm_queue_exception where it's used only for moving the rip forward * In task_switch_interception which is analogous to handle_task_switch in VMX Signed-off-by:
