Josef reported that the uncore driver trips over with CONFIG_SMP=n because
x86_max_cores is 16 instead of 12.
The reason is, that for SMP=n the extended topology detection is a NOOP and
the cache leaf is used to determine the number of cores. That's wrong in two
aspects:
1) The cache leaf enumerates the maximum addressable number of cores in the
package, which is obviously not correct
2) UP has no business with topology bits at all.
Make intel_num_cpu_cores() return 1 for CONFIG_SMP=n

Joseph reported that a XEN guest dies with a division by 0 in the package
topology setup code. This happens if cpu_info.x86_max_cores is zero.
Handle that case and emit a warning. This does not fix the underlying XEN bug,
but makes the code more robust.

Currently we read the tsc radio: ratio = (MSR_PLATFORM_INFO >> 8) & 0x1f;
Thus we get bit 8-12 of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO, however according to the SDM
(35.5), the ratio bits are bit 8-15.
Ignoring the upper bits can result in an incorrect tsc ratio, which causes the
TSC calibration and the Local APIC timer frequency to be incorrect.
Fix this problem by masking 0xff instead.

After the THP refcounting change, obtaining a compound pages from
get_user_pages() no longer allows us to assume the entire compound page
is immediately mappable from a secondary MMU.
A secondary MMU doesn't want to call get_user_pages() more than once for
each compound page, in order to know if it can map the whole compound
page. So a secondary MMU needs to know from a single get_user_pages()
invocation when it can map immediately the entire compound page to avoid
a flood of unnecessary secondary MMU faults and spurious
atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() (pages don't have to be pinned by MMU notifier
users).
Ideally instead of the page->_mapcount < 1 check, get_user_pages()
should return the granularity of the "page" mapping in the "mm" passed
to get_user_pages(). However it's non trivial change to pass the "pmd"
status belonging to the "mm" walked by get_user_pages up the stack (up
to the caller of get_user_pages). So the fix just checks if there is
not a single pte mapping on the page returned by get_user_pages, and in
turn if the caller can assume that the whole compound page is mapped in
the current "mm" (in a pmd_trans_huge()). In such case the entire
compound page is safe to map into the secondary MMU without additional
get_user_pages() calls on the surrounding tail/head pages. In addition
of being faster, not having to run other get_user_pages() calls also
reduces the memory footprint of the secondary MMU fault in case the pmd
split happened as result of memory pressure.
Without this fix after a MADV_DONTNEED (like invoked by QEMU during
postcopy live migration or balloning) or after generic swapping (with a
failure in split_huge_page() that would only result in pmd splitting and
not a physical page split), KVM would map the whole compound page into
the shadow pagetables, despite regular faults or userfaults (like
UFFDIO_COPY) may map regular pages into the primary MMU as result of the
pte faults, leading to the guest mode and userland mode going out of
sync and not working on the same memory at all times.
Any other secondary MMU notifier manager (KVM is just one of the many
MMU notifier users) will need the same information if it doesn't want to
run a flood of get_user_pages_fast and it can support multiple
granularity in the secondary MMU mappings, so I think it is justified to
be exposed not just to KVM.
The other option would be to move transparent_hugepage_adjust to
mm/huge_memory.c but that currently has all kind of KVM data structures
in it, so it's definitely not a cut-and-paste work, so I couldn't do a
fix as cleaner as this one for 4.6.

The code for checking whether a BAR address range is valid will break
out of the loop when a start address of 0x0 is encountered.
This behaviour is wrong since by breaking out of the loop we may miss
the BAR that describes the EFI frame buffer in a later iteration.
Because of this bug I can't use video=efifb: boot parameter to get
efifb on my new ThinkPad E550 for my old linux system hard disk with
3.10 kernel. In 3.10, efifb is the only choice due to DRM/I915 not
supporting the GPU.
This patch also add a trivial optimization to break out after we find
the frame buffer address range without testing later BARs.

A while back the following commit:
d394f2d9d8e1 ("x86/platform/UV: Remove EFI memmap quirk for UV2+")
changed uv_system_init() to only call map_low_mmrs() on older UV1 hardware,
which requires EFI_OLD_MEMMAP to be set in order to boot.
The recent changes to the EFI memory mapping code in:
d2f7cbe7b26a ("x86/efi: Runtime services virtual mapping")
exposed some issues with the fact that we were relying on the EFI memory
mapping mechanisms to map in our MMRs for us, after commit d394f2d9d8e1.
Rather than revert the entire commit and go back to forcing
EFI_OLD_MEMMAP on all UVs, we're going to add the call to map_low_mmrs()
back into uv_system_init(), and then fix up our EFI runtime calls to use
the appropriate page table.
For now, UV2+ will still need efi=old_map to boot, but there will be
other changes soon that should eliminate the need for this.

The promise of pretty boot splashes from firmware via BGRT was at
best only that; a promise. The kernel diligently checks to make
sure the BGRT data firmware gives it is valid, and dutifully warns
the user when it isn't. However, it does so via the pr_err log
level which seems unnecessary. The user cannot do anything about
this and there really isn't an error on the part of Linux to
correct.
This lowers the log level by using pr_notice instead. Users will
no longer have their boot process uglified by the kernel reminding
us that firmware can and often is broken when the 'quiet' kernel
parameter is specified. Ironic, considering BGRT is supposed to
make boot pretty to begin with.

This patch fixes a bug which was introduced by:
b16a5b52eb90 ("perf/x86: Add option to disable reading branch flags/cycles")
In this patch, lbr_sel_mask is used to mask the lbr_select. But LBR_SEL_MASK
doesn't include the bit for LBR_CALL_STACK. So LBR call stack will never be
set in lbr_select.
This patch corrects the LBR_SEL_MASK by including all valid bits in
LBR_SELECT. Also, the LBR_CALL_STACK bit is different as other bit in
LBR_SELECT. It does not operate in suppress mode, so it needs to be
specially handled in intel_pmu_setup_hw_lbr_filter.

Some versions of Intel PT do not support tracing across VMXON, more
specifically, VMXON will clear TraceEn control bit and any attempt to
set it before VMXOFF will throw a #GP, which in the current state of
things will crash the kernel. Namely:
$ perf record -e intel_pt// kvm -nographic
on such a machine will kill it.
To avoid this, notify the intel_pt driver before VMXON and after
VMXOFF so that it knows when not to enable itself.

If x86_vector_alloc_irq() fails x86_vector_free_irqs() is invoked to cleanup
the already allocated vectors. This subsequently calls clear_vector_irq().
The failed irq has no vector assigned, which triggers the BUG_ON(!vector) in
clear_vector_irq().
We cannot suppress the call to x86_vector_free_irqs() for the failed
interrupt, because the other data related to this irq must be cleaned up as
well. So calling clear_vector_irq() with vector == 0 is legitimate.
Remove the BUG_ON and return if vector is zero,

This reverts commit 320d25b6a05f8b73c23fc21025d2906ecdd2d4fc.
This change was problematic for a couple of reasons:
1. It missed a some entry points (Xen things and 64-bit native).
2. The entry it changed can be executed more than once. This isn't
really a problem, but it conflated per-cpu state setup and global
state setup.
3. It broke 64-bit non-NX. 64-bit non-NX worked the other way around from
32-bit -- __supported_pte_mask had NX set initially and was *cleared*
in x86_configure_nx. With the patch applied, it never got cleared.

... moved the initalization of the kicker interrupt until after

However, when using qspinlocks, a CPU may try to kick another CPU that is

To fix this, only send the kick if the target CPU's interrupt has been

the spinlock, so it won't have initialized the interrupt in the

hugetlbfs use results in an endless loop of page faults when user mode
code tries to access a hugetlbfs mapped area (since the hypervisor
denies such PTEs to be created, but error indications can't be
propagated out of xen_set_pte_at(), just like for various of its
siblings), and - once killed in an oops like this:

This reverts commit c4004b02f8e5b9ce357a0bb1641756cc86962664.
Sadly, my hope that nobody would actually use the special kernel entries
in /proc/iomem were dashed by kexec. Which reads /proc/iomem explicitly
to find the kernel base address. Nasty.
Anyway, that means we can't do the sane and simple thing and just remove
the entries, and we'll instead have to mask them out based on permissions.

An interrupt handler that uses the fpu can kill a KVM VM, if it runs
under the following conditions:
- the guest's xcr0 register is loaded on the cpu
- the guest's fpu context is not loaded
- the host is using eagerfpu
Note that the guest's xcr0 register and fpu context are not loaded as
part of the atomic world switch into "guest mode". They are loaded by
KVM while the cpu is still in "host mode".
Usage of the fpu in interrupt context is gated by irq_fpu_usable(). The
interrupt handler will look something like this:
if (irq_fpu_usable()) {
kernel_fpu_begin();
[... code that uses the fpu ...]
kernel_fpu_end();
}
As long as the guest's fpu is not loaded and the host is using eager
fpu, irq_fpu_usable() returns true (interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle()
returns true). The interrupt handler proceeds to use the fpu with
the guest's xcr0 live.
kernel_fpu_begin() saves the current fpu context. If this uses
XSAVE[OPT], it may leave the xsave area in an undesirable state.
According to the SDM, during XSAVE bit i of XSTATE_BV is not modified
if bit i is 0 in xcr0. So it's possible that XSTATE_BV[i] == 1 and
xcr0[i] == 0 following an XSAVE.
kernel_fpu_end() restores the fpu context. Now if any bit i in
XSTATE_BV == 1 while xcr0[i] == 0, XRSTOR generates a #GP. The
fault is trapped and SIGSEGV is delivered to the current process.
Only pre-4.2 kernels appear to be vulnerable to this sequence of
events. Commit 653f52c ("kvm,x86: load guest FPU context more eagerly")
from 4.2 forces the guest's fpu to always be loaded on eagerfpu hosts.
This patch fixes the bug by keeping the host's xcr0 loaded outside
of the interrupts-disabled region where KVM switches into guest mode.

Let's see if anybody even notices. I doubt anybody uses this, and it
does expose addresses that should be randomized, so let's just remove
the code. It's old and traditional, and it used to be cute, but we
should have removed this long ago.
If it turns out anybody notices and this breaks something, we'll have to
revert this, and maybe we'll end up using other approaches instead
(using %pK or similar). But removing unnecessary code is always the
preferred option.

When a vCPU runs on a nohz_full core, the hrtimer used by
the lapic emulation code can be migrated to another core.
When this happens, it's possible to observe milisecond
latency when delivering timer IRQs to KVM guests.
The huge latency is mainly due to the fact that
apic_timer_fn() expects to run during a kvm exit. It
sets KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER and let it be handled on kvm
entry. However, if the timer fires on a different core,
we have to wait until the next kvm exit for the guest
to see KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER set.
This problem became visible after commit 9642d18ee. This
commit changed the timer migration code to always attempt
to migrate timers away from nohz_full cores. While it's
discussable if this is correct/desirable (I don't think
it is), it's clear that the lapic emulation code has
a requirement on firing the hrtimer in the same core
where it was started. This is achieved by making the
hrtimer pinned.
Lastly, note that KVM has code to migrate timers when a
vCPU is scheduled to run in different core. However, this
forced migration may fail. When this happens, we can have
the same problem. If we want 100% correctness, we'll have
to modify apic_timer_fn() to cause a kvm exit when it runs
on a different core than the vCPU. Not sure if this is
possible.
Here's a reproducer for the issue being fixed:
1. Set all cores but core0 to be nohz_full cores
2. Start a guest with a single vCPU
3. Trace apic_timer_fn() and kvm_inject_apic_timer_irqs()
You'll see that apic_timer_fn() will run in core0 while
kvm_inject_apic_timer_irqs() runs in a different core. If
you get both on core0, try running a program that takes 100%
of the CPU and pin it to core0 to force the vCPU out.

The recently introduced batched invalidations mechanism uses its own
mechanism for shootdown. However, it does wrong accounting of
interrupts (e.g., inc_irq_stat is called for local invalidations),
trace-points (e.g., TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN for local invalidations) and
may break some platforms as it bypasses the invalidation mechanisms of
Xen and SGI UV.
This patch reuses the existing TLB flushing mechnaisms instead. We use
NULL as mm to indicate a global invalidation is required.

Windows lets applications choose the frequency of the timer tick,
and in Windows 10 the maximum rate was changed from 1024 Hz to
2048 Hz. Unfortunately, because of the way the Windows API
works, most applications who need a higher rate than the default
64 Hz will just do
timeGetDevCaps(&tc, sizeof(tc));
timeBeginPeriod(tc.wPeriodMin);
and pick the maximum rate. This causes very high CPU usage when
playing media or games on Windows 10, even if the guest does not
actually use the CPU very much, because the frequent timer tick
causes halt_poll_ns to kick in.
There is no really good solution, especially because Microsoft
could sooner or later bump the limit to 4096 Hz, but for now
the best we can do is lower a bit the upper limit for
halt_poll_ns. :-(

If SynIC is disabled, there is nothing that userspace can do to
handle these exits; on the other hand, userspace probably will
not know about KVM_EXIT_HYPERV_HCALL and complain about it or
even exit. Just prevent anything bad from happening by handling
the hypercall in KVM and returning an "invalid hypercall" code.
