Everything there that it is said for 2.6 also applies on
current 4.x Kernels. So, update the information there.
While here, use ``foo`` for literals.

This file is almost in the right format. It only needed to
convert a list to bulleted list and to use the right markup
for literal blocks.

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,

This file is almost on the standard format. All it needs
to be parsed by Sphinx is to fix its main title and add
a few blank lines.
Yet, it is worth to replace NOTE: by the corresponding
ReST markup.
While here, remove the extra "---" from a subtitle.

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.

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.

So far Linux supported only two levels of MTD devices so we didn't need
a very precise description for this sysfs file. With commit
97519dc52b44a ("mtd: partitions: add support for subpartitions") there
is support for a tree structure so we should have more precise
description. Using "parent" and "flash device" makes it more accurate.

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,

semantic
__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.

Add /proc/self/task/<current-tid>/fail-nth file that allows failing
0-th, 1-st, 2-nd and so on calls systematically.
Excerpt from the added documentation:
"Write to this file of integer N makes N-th call in the current task
fail (N is 0-based). Read from this file returns a single char 'Y' or
'N' that says if the fault setup with a previous write to this file
was injected or not, and disables the fault if it wasn't yet injected.
Note that this file enables all types of faults (slab, futex, etc).
This setting takes precedence over all other generic settings like
probability, interval, times, etc. But per-capability settings (e.g.
fail_futex/ignore-private) take precedence over it. This feature is
intended for systematic testing of faults in a single system call. See
an example below"
Why add a new setting:
1. Existing settings are global rather than per-task.
So parallel testing is not possible.
2. attr->interval is close but it depends on attr->count
which is non reset to 0, so interval does not work as expected.
3. Trying to model this with existing settings requires manipulations
of all of probability, interval, times, space, task-filter and
unexposed count and per-task make-it-fail files.
4. Existing settings are per-failure-type, and the set of failure
types is potentially expanding.
5. make-it-fail can't be changed by unprivileged user and aggressive
stress testing better be done from an unprivileged user.
Similarly, this would require opening the debugfs files to the
unprivileged user, as he would need to reopen at least times file
(not possible to pre-open before dropping privs).
The proposed interface solves all of the above (see the example).
We want to integrate this into syzkaller fuzzer. A prototype has found
10 bugs in kernel in first day of usage:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/syzkaller/%22FAULT_INJECTION%22%7Csort:relevance
I've made the current interface work with all types of our sandboxes.
For setuid the secret sauce was prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1, 0, 0, 0) to
make /proc entries non-root owned. So I am fine with the current
version of the code.

Since it is possbile to have same number in tfd field (say file added,
closed, then nother file dup'ed to same number and added back) it is
imposible to distinguish such target files solely by their numbers.
Strictly speaking regular applications don't need to recognize these
targets at all but for checkpoint/restore sake we need to collect
targets to be able to push them back on restore stage in a proper order.
Thus lets add file position, inode and device number where this target
lays. This three fields can be used as a primary key for sorting, and
together with kcmp help CRIU can find out an exact file target (from the
whole set of processes being checkpointed).
