Calling kvm_is_visible_gfn() implies that we're parsing the memslots,
and doing this without the srcu lock is frown upon:

When halting a guest, QEMU flushes the virtual ITS caches, which
amounts to writing to the various tables that the guest has allocated.
When doing this, we fail to take the srcu lock, and the kernel
shouts loudly if running a lockdep kernel:

The normal interrupt flow is not to enable the vgic when no virtual
interrupt is to be injected (i.e. the LRs are empty). But when a guest
is likely to use GICv4 for LPIs, we absolutely need to switch it on
at all times. Otherwise, VLPIs only get delivered when there is something
in the LRs, which doesn't happen very often.

debugfs can now report an error code if something went wrong instead of
just NULL. So if the return value is to be used as a "real" dentry, it
needs to be checked if it is an error before dereferencing it.
This is now happening because of ff9fb72bc077 ("debugfs: return error
values, not NULL"). syzbot has found a way to trigger multiple debugfs
files attempting to be created, which fails, and then the error code
gets passed to dentry_path_raw() which obviously does not like it.

grow_halt_poll_ns() have a strange behaviour in case
(vcpu->halt_poll_ns != 0) &&
(vcpu->halt_poll_ns < halt_poll_ns_grow_start).
In this case, vcpu->halt_poll_ns will be multiplied by grow factor
(halt_poll_ns_grow) which will require several grow iteration in order
to reach a value bigger than halt_poll_ns_grow_start.
This means that growing vcpu->halt_poll_ns from value of 0 is slower
than growing it from a positive value less than halt_poll_ns_grow_start.
Which is misleading and inaccurate.
Fix issue by changing grow_halt_poll_ns() to set vcpu->halt_poll_ns
to halt_poll_ns_grow_start in any case that
(vcpu->halt_poll_ns < halt_poll_ns_grow_start).
Regardless if vcpu->halt_poll_ns is 0.
use READ_ONCE to get a consistent number for all cases.

The hard-coded value 10000 in grow_halt_poll_ns() stands for the initial
start value when raising up vcpu->halt_poll_ns.
It actually sets the first timeout to the first polling session.
This value has significant effect on how tolerant we are to outliers.
On the standard case, higher value is better - we will spend more time
in the polling busyloop, handle events/interrupts faster and result
in better performance.
But on outliers it puts us in a busy loop that does nothing.
Even if the shrink factor is zero, we will still waste time on the first
iteration.
The optimal value changes between different workloads. It depends on
outliers rate and polling sessions length.
As this value has significant effect on the dynamic halt-polling
algorithm, it should be configurable and exposed.

...now that KVM won't explode by moving it out of bit 0. Using bit 63
eliminates the need to jump over bit 0, e.g. when calculating a new
memslots generation or when propagating the memslots generation to an
MMIO spte.

x86 captures a subset of the memslot generation (19 bits) in its MMIO
sptes so that it can expedite emulated MMIO handling by checking only
the releveant spte, i.e. doesn't need to do a full page fault walk.
Because the MMIO sptes capture only 19 bits (due to limited space in
the sptes), there is a non-zero probability that the MMIO generation
could wrap, e.g. after 500k memslot updates. Since normal usage is
extremely unlikely to result in 500k memslot updates, a hack was added
by commit 69c9ea93eaea ("KVM: MMU: init kvm generation close to mmio
wrap-around value") to offset the MMIO generation in order to trigger
a wraparound, e.g. after 150 memslot updates.
When separate memslot generation sequences were assigned to each
address space, commit 00f034a12fdd ("KVM: do not bias the generation
number in kvm_current_mmio_generation") moved the offset logic into the
initialization of the memslot generation itself so that the per-address
space bit(s) were not dropped/corrupted by the MMIO shenanigans.
Remove the offset hack for three reasons:
- While it does exercise x86's kvm_mmu_invalidate_mmio_sptes(), simply
wrapping the generation doesn't actually test the interesting case
of having stale MMIO sptes with the new generation number, e.g. old
sptes with a generation number of 0.
- Triggering kvm_mmu_invalidate_mmio_sptes() prematurely makes its
performance rather important since the probability of invalidating
MMIO sptes jumps from "effectively never" to "fairly likely". This
limits what can be done in future patches, e.g. to simplify the
invalidation code, as doing so without proper caution could lead to
a noticeable performance regression.
- Forcing the memslots generation, which is a 64-bit number, to wrap
prevents KVM from assuming the memslots generation will never wrap.
This in turn prevents KVM from using an arbitrary bit for the
"update in-progress" flag, e.g. using bit 63 would immediately
collide with using a large value as the starting generation number.
The "update in-progress" flag is effectively forced into bit 0 so
that it's (subtly) taken into account when incrementing the

KVM uses bit 0 of the memslots generation as an "update in-progress"
flag, which is used by x86 to prevent caching MMIO access while the
memslots are changing. Although the intended behavior is flag-like,
e.g. MMIO sptes intentionally drop the in-progress bit so as to avoid
caching data from in-flux memslots, the implementation oftentimes treats
the bit as part of the generation number itself, e.g. incrementing the
generation increments twice, once to set the flag and once to clear it.
Prior to commit 4bd518f1598d ("KVM: use separate generations for
each address space"), incorporating the "update in-progress" bit into
the generation number largely made sense, e.g. "real" generations are
even, "bogus" generations are odd, most code doesn't need to be aware of
the bit, etc...
Now that unique memslots generation numbers are assigned to each address
space, stealthing the in-progress status into the generation number
results in a wide variety of subtle code, e.g. kvm_create_vm() jumps
over bit 0 when initializing the memslots generation without any hint as
to why.
Explicitly define the flag and convert as much code as possible (which
isn't much) to actually treat it like a flag. This paves the way for
eventually using a different bit for "update in-progress" so that it can
be a flag in truth instead of a awkward extension to the generation
number.

kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is at this point in time an x86-specific
hook for handling MMIO generation wraparound. x86 stashes 19 bits of
the memslots generation number in its MMIO sptes in order to avoid
full page fault walks for repeat faults on emulated MMIO addresses.
Because only 19 bits are used, wrapping the MMIO generation number is
possible, if unlikely. kvm_arch_memslots_updated() alerts x86 that
the generation has changed so that it can invalidate all MMIO sptes in
case the effective MMIO generation has wrapped so as to avoid using a
stale spte, e.g. a (very) old spte that was created with generation==0.
Given that the purpose of kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is to prevent
consuming stale entries, it needs to be called before the new generation
is propagated to memslots. Invalidating the MMIO sptes after updating
memslots means that there is a window where a vCPU could dereference
the new memslots generation, e.g. 0, and incorrectly reuse an old MMIO
spte that was created with (pre-wrap) generation==0.

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 they include:
vcpu->run
kvm->coalesced_mmio_ring
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.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
void *entry[];
};
instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

interrupt is pending
When a guest gets scheduled, KVM performs a "load" operation,
which for the timer includes evaluating the virtual "active" state
of the interrupt, and replicating it on the physical side. This
ensures that the deactivation in the guest will also take place
in the physical GIC distributor.
If the interrupt is not yet active, we flag it as inactive on the
physical side. This means that on restoring the timer registers,
if the timer has expired, we'll immediately take an interrupt.
That's absolutely fine, as the interrupt will then be flagged as
active on the physical side. What this assumes though is that we'll
enter the guest right after having taken the interrupt, and that
the guest will quickly ACK the interrupt, making it active at on
the virtual side.
It turns out that quite often, this assumption doesn't really hold.
The guest may be preempted on the back on this interrupt, either
from kernel space or whilst running at EL1 when a host interrupt
fires. When this happens, we repeat the whole sequence on the
next load (interrupt marked as inactive, timer registers restored,
interrupt fires). And if it takes a really long time for a guest
to activate the interrupt (as it does with nested virt), we end-up
with many such events in quick succession, leading to the guest only
making very slow progress.
This can also be seen with the number of virtual timer interrupt on the
host being far greater than the same number in the guest.
An easy way to fix this is to evaluate the timer state when performing
the "load" operation, just like we do when the interrupt actually fires.
If the timer has a pending virtual interrupt at this stage, then we
can safely flag the physical interrupt as being active, which prevents
spurious exits.

We are currently emulating two timers in two different ways. When we
add support for nested virtualization in the future, we are going to be
emulating either two timers in two diffferent ways, or four timers in a
single way.
We need a unified data structure to keep track of how we map virtual
state to physical state and we need to cleanup some of the timer code to
operate more independently on a struct arch_timer_context instead of
trying to consider the global state of the VCPU and recomputing all
state.

At the moment we have separate system register emulation handlers for
each timer register. Actually they are quite similar, and we rely on
kvm_arm_timer_[gs]et_reg() for the actual emulation anyways, so let's
just merge all of those handlers into one function, which just marshalls
the arguments and then hands off to a set of common accessors.
This makes extending the emulation to include EL2 timers much easier.

Instead of calling into kvm_timer_[un]schedule from the main kvm
blocking path, test if the VCPU is on the wait queue from the load/put
path and perform the background timer setup/cancel in this path.
This has the distinct advantage that we no longer race between load/put
and schedule/unschedule and programming and canceling of the bg_timer
always happens when the timer state is not loaded.
Note that we must now remove the checks in kvm_timer_blocking that do
not schedule a background timer if one of the timers can fire, because
we no longer have a guarantee that kvm_vcpu_check_block() will be called
before kvm_timer_blocking.

In preparation for nested virtualization where we are going to have more
than a single VMID per VM, let's factor out the VMID data into a
separate VMID data structure and change the VMID allocator to operate on
this new structure instead of using a struct kvm.
This also means that udate_vttbr now becomes update_vmid, and that the
vttbr itself is generated on the fly based on the stage 2 page table
base address and the vmid.
We cache the physical address of the pgd when allocating the pgd to
avoid doing the calculation on every entry to the guest and to avoid
calling into potentially non-hyp-mapped code from hyp/EL2.
If we wanted to merge the VMID allocator with the arm64 ASID allocator
at some point in the future, it should actually become easier to do that
after this patch.
Note that to avoid mapping the kvm_vmid_bits variable into hyp, we
simply forego the masking of the vmid value in kvm_get_vttbr and rely on
update_vmid to always assign a valid vmid value (within the supported
range).

We currently eagerly save/restore MPIDR. It turns out to be
slightly pointless:
- On the host, this value is known as soon as we're scheduled on a
physical CPU
- In the guest, this value cannot change, as it is set by KVM
(and this is a read-only register)
The result of the above is that we can perfectly avoid the eager
saving of MPIDR_EL1, and only keep the restore. We just have
to setup the host contexts appropriately at boot time.

To split up APEIs in_nmi() path, the caller needs to always be
in_nmi(). KVM shouldn't have to know about this, pull the RAS plumbing
out into a header file.
Currently guest synchronous external aborts are claimed as RAS
notifications by handle_guest_sea(), which is hidden in the arch codes
mm/fault.c. 32bit gets a dummy declaration in system_misc.h.
There is going to be more of this in the future if/when the kernel
supports the SError-based firmware-first notification mechanism and/or
kernel-first notifications for both synchronous external abort and
SError. Each of these will come with some Kconfig symbols and a
handful of header files.
Create a header file for all this.
This patch gives handle_guest_sea() a 'kvm_' prefix, and moves the
declarations to kvm_ras.h as preparation for a future patch that moves
the ACPI-specific RAS code out of mm/fault.c.

kvm_ioctl_create_device() does the following:
1. creates a device that holds a reference to the VM object (with a borrowed
reference, the VM's refcount has not been bumped yet)
2. initializes the device
3. transfers the reference to the device to the caller's file descriptor table
4. calls kvm_get_kvm() to turn the borrowed reference to the VM into a real
reference
The ownership transfer in step 3 must not happen before the reference to the VM
becomes a proper, non-borrowed reference, which only happens in step 4.
After step 3, an attacker can close the file descriptor and drop the borrowed
reference, which can cause the refcount of the kvm object to drop to zero.
This means that we need to grab a reference for the device before
anon_inode_getfd(), otherwise the VM can disappear from under us.

We currently initialize the group of private IRQs during
kvm_vgic_vcpu_init, and the value of the group depends on the GIC model
we are emulating. However, CPUs created before creating (and
initializing) the VGIC might end up with the wrong group if the VGIC
is created as GICv3 later.
Since we have no enforced ordering of creating the VGIC and creating
VCPUs, we can end up with part the VCPUs being properly intialized and
the remaining incorrectly initialized. That also means that we have no
single place to do the per-cpu data structure initialization which
depends on knowing the emulated GIC model (which is only the group
field).
This patch removes the incorrect comment from kvm_vgic_vcpu_init and
initializes the group of all previously created VCPUs's private
interrupts in vgic_init in addition to the existing initialization in
kvm_vgic_vcpu_init.

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".
This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work. Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused. This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well. Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.
Build and boot tested on x86-64. Build tested on arm64. The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.
The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
