Now that we can tolerate extra things dangling off the end of the
vdso image, we can strip the vdso the old fashioned way rather than
using an overcomplicated custom stripping algorithm.
This is a partial reversion of:

Putting the vvar area after the vdso text is rather complicated: it
only works of the total length of the vdso text mapping is known at
vdso link time, and the linker doesn't allow symbol addresses to
depend on the sizes of non-allocatable data after the PT_LOAD
segment.
Moving the vvar area before the vdso text will allow is to safely
map non-allocatable data after the vdso text, which is a nice
simplification.

Certain instructions (e.g., mwait and monitor) cause a #UD exception when they
are executed in user mode. This is in contrast to the regular privileged
instructions which cause #GP. In order not to mess with SVM interception of
mwait and monitor which assumes privilege level assertions take place before
interception, a flag has been added.

Certain instructions, such as monitor and xsave do not support big real mode
and cause a #GP exception if any of the accessed bytes effective address are
not within [0, 0xffff]. This patch introduces a flag to mark these

Emulator accesses are always done a page at a time, either by the emulator
itself (for fetches) or because we need to query the MMU for address
translations. Speed up these accesses by using kvm_read_guest_page
and, in the case of fetches, by inlining kvm_read_guest_virt_helper and
dropping the loop around kvm_read_guest_page.
This final tweak saves 30-100 more clock cycles (4-10%), bringing the
count (as measured by kvm-unit-tests) down to 720-1100 clock cycles on
a Sandy Bridge Xeon host, compared to 2300-3200 before the whole series
and 925-1700 after the first two low-hanging fruit changes.

When the CS base is not page-aligned, the linear address of the code could
get close to the page boundary (e.g. 0x...ffe) even if the EIP value is
not. So we need to first linearize the address, and only then compute
the number of valid bytes that can be fetched.
This happens relatively often when executing real mode code.

We do not need a memory copying loop anymore in insn_fetch; we
can use a byte-aligned pointer to access instruction fields directly
from the fetch_cache. This eliminates 50-150 cycles (corresponding to
a 5-10% improvement in performance) from each instruction.

do_insn_fetch_bytes will only be called once in a given insn_fetch and
insn_fetch_arr, because in fact it will only be called at most twice
for any instruction and the first call is explicit in x86_decode_insn.
This observation lets us hoist the call out of the memory copying loop.
It does not buy performance, because most fetches are one byte long
anyway, but it prepares for the next patch.
The overflow check is tricky, but correct. Because do_insn_fetch_bytes
has already been called once, we know that fc->end is at least 15. So
it is okay to subtract the number of bytes we want to read.

Hoist the common case up from do_insn_fetch_byte to do_insn_fetch,
and prime the fetch_cache in x86_decode_insn. This helps a bit the
compiler and the branch predictor, but above all it lays the
ground for further changes in the next few patches.

rip_relative is only set if decode_modrm runs, and if you have ModRM
you will also have a memopp. We can then access memopp unconditionally.
Note that rip_relative cannot be hoisted up to decode_modrm, or you
break "mov $0, xyz(%rip)".
Also, move typecast on "out of range value" of mem.ea to decode_modrm.
Together, all these optimizations save about 50 cycles on each emulated
instructions (4-6%).

We can just blindly move all 16 bytes of ctxt->src's value to ctxt->dst.
write_register_operand will take care of writing only the lower bytes.
Avoiding a call to memcpy (the compiler optimizes it out) gains about
200 cycles on kvm-unit-tests for register-to-register moves, and makes
them about as fast as arithmetic instructions.
We could perhaps get a larger speedup by moving all instructions _except_
moves out of x86_emulate_insn, removing opcode_len, and replacing the
switch statement with an inlined em_mov.

There are several checks for "peculiar" aspects of instructions in both
x86_decode_insn and x86_emulate_insn. Group them together, and guard
them with a single "if" that lets the processor quickly skip them all.
Make this more effective by adding two more flag bits that say whether the
.intercept and .check_perm fields are valid. We will reuse these
flags later to avoid initializing fields of the emulate_ctxt struct.
This skims about 30 cycles for each emulated instructions, which is
approximately a 3% improvement.

Despite the provisions to emulate up to 130 consecutive instructions, in
practice KVM will emulate just one before exiting handle_invalid_guest_state,
because x86_emulate_instruction always sets KVM_REQ_EVENT.
However, we only need to do this if an interrupt could be injected,
which happens a) if an interrupt shadow bit (STI or MOV SS) has gone
away; b) if the interrupt flag has just been set (other instructions
than STI can set it without enabling an interrupt shadow).
This cuts another 700-900 cycles from the cost of emulating an
instruction (measured on a Sandy Bridge Xeon: 1650-2600 cycles
before the patch on kvm-unit-tests, 925-1700 afterwards).

For the next patch we will need to know the full state of the
interrupt shadow; we will then set KVM_REQ_EVENT when one bit
is cleared.
However, right now get_interrupt_shadow only returns the one
corresponding to the emulated instruction, or an unconditional
0 if the emulated instruction does not have an interrupt shadow.
This is confusing and does not allow us to check for cleared
bits as mentioned above.
Clean the callback up, and modify toggle_interruptibility to
match the comment above the call. As a small result, the
call to set_interrupt_shadow will be skipped in the common
case where int_shadow == 0 && mask == 0.

About 25% of the time spent in emulation of invalid guest state
is wasted in checking whether emulation is required for the next
instruction. However, this almost never changes except when a
segment register (or TR or LDTR) changes, or when there is a mode
transition (i.e. CR0 changes).
In fact, vmx_set_segment and vmx_set_cr0 already modify
vmx->emulation_required (except that the former for some reason
uses |= instead of just an assignment). So there is no need to
call guest_state_valid in the emulation loop.
Emulation performance test results indicate 1650-2600 cycles
for common instructions, versus 2300-3200 before this patch on
a Sandy Bridge Xeon.

We encountered a scenario in which after an INIT is delivered, a pending
interrupt is delivered, although it was sent before the INIT. As the SDM
states in section 10.4.7.1, the ISR and the IRR should be cleared after INIT as
KVM does. This also means that pending interrupts should be cleared. This
patch clears upon reset (and INIT) the pending interrupts; and at the same
occassion clears the pending exceptions, since they may cause a similar issue.

We have noticed that qemu-kvm hangs early in the BIOS when runnning nested
under some versions of VMware ESXi.
The problem we believe is because KVM assumes that the platform preserves
the 'G' but for any segment register. The SVM specification itemizes the
segment attribute bits that are observed by the CPU, but the (G)ranularity bit
is not one of the bits itemized, for any segment. Though current AMD CPUs keep
track of the (G)ranularity bit for all segment registers other than CS, the
specification does not require it. VMware's virtual CPU may not track the
(G)ranularity bit for any segment register.
Since kvm already synthesizes the (G)ranularity bit for the CS segment. It
should do so for all segments. The patch below does that, and helps get rid of
the hangs. Patch applies on top of Linus' tree.

Relying on static functions used just once to get inlined (and
subsequently have dead code paths eliminated) is wrong: Compilers are
free to decide whether they do this, regardless of optimization level.
With this not happening for vdso_addr() (observed with gcc 4.1.x), an
unresolved reference to align_vdso_addr() causes the build to fail.
[ hpa: vdso_addr() is never actually used on x86-32, as calculate_addr
in map_vdso() is always false. It ought to be possible to clean
this up further, but this fixes the immediate problem. ]

Commit b4aa0163056b ("efifb: Implement vga_default_device() (v2)") added
efifb vga_default_device() so EFI systems that do not load shadow VBIOS or
setup VGA get proper value for boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute on the
corresponding PCI device.
Xorg doesn't detect devices when boot_vga=0, e.g., on some EFI systems such
as MacBookAir2,1. Xorg detects the GPU and finds the DRI device but then
bails out with "no devices detected".
Note: When vga_default_device() is set boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute
reflects its state. When unset this attribute is 1 whenever
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag is set.
With introduction of sysfb/simplefb/simpledrm efifb is getting obsolete
while having native drivers for the GPU also makes selecting sysfb/efifb
optional.
Remove the efifb implementation of vga_default_device() and initialize
vgaarb's vga_default_device() with the PCI GPU that matches boot
screen_info in pci_fixup_video().

The PE/COFF headers currently describe only the initialised-data
portions of the image, and result in no space being allocated for the
uninitialised-data portions. Consequently, the EFI boot stub will end
up overwriting unexpected areas of memory, with unpredictable results.
Fix by including a .bss section in the PE/COFF headers (functionally
equivalent to the init_size field in the bzImage header).

I've observed kvmclock being marked as unstable on a modern

The culprit was failure in TSC matching because of overflow of

The fix is to count each vCPU only once when matched, so that
nr_vcpus_matched_tsc holds the size of the matched set. This is
achieved by reusing generation counters. Every vCPU with
this_tsc_generation == cur_tsc_generation is in the matched set. The
match set is cleared by setting cur_tsc_generation to a value which no
other vCPU is set to (by incrementing it).
I needed to bump up the counter size form u8 to u64 to ensure it never
overflows. Otherwise in cases TSC is not written the same number of
times on each vCPU the counter could overflow and incorrectly indicate
some vCPUs as being in the matched set. This scenario seems unlikely
but I'm not sure if it can be disregarded.

With commit b6b8a1451fc40412c57d1 that introduced
vmx_check_nested_events, checks for injectable interrupts happen
at different points in time for L1 and L2 that could potentially
cause a race. The regression occurs because KVM_REQ_EVENT is always
set when nested_run_pending is set even if there's no pending interrupt.
Consequently, there could be a small window when check_nested_events
returns without exiting to L1, but an interrupt comes through soon
after and it incorrectly, gets injected to L2 by inject_pending_event
Fix this by adding a call to check for nested events too when a check
for injectable interrupt returns true

- move forward declarations of functions shared between the arch
specific and the generic parts of the stub to include/linux/efi.h
- move forward declarations of functions shared between various .c files
of the generic stub code to a new local header file called "efistub.h"
- add #includes to all .c files which were formerly relying on the

- remove all static modifiers from functions which will need to be

The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular
registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values. That is
very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'.
Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface
catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which
always returns with an iret.
However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the
signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to
return to user space using 'sysret'. Otherwise the modifications that
may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't
necessarily take effect.
Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from
arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().

This commit deals with the issue simply by ignoring CondChgd bit.
Here is explanation in detail.
On x86 NMI watchdog uses performance monitoring feature to
periodically signal NMI each time performance counter gets overflowed.
intel_pmu_handle_irq() is called as a NMI_LOCAL handler from a NMI
handler of NMI watchdog, perf_event_nmi_handler(). It identifies an
owner of a given NMI by looking at overflow status bits in
MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR. If some of the bits are set, then it
handles the given NMI as its own NMI.
The problem is that the intel_pmu_handle_irq() doesn't distinguish
CondChgd bit from other bits. Unlike the other status bits, CondChgd
bit doesn't represent overflow status for performance counters. Thus,
CondChgd bit cannot be thought of as a mark indicating a given NMI is
NMI watchdog's.
As a result, if CondChgd bit is set, any NMI is falsely handled by the
NMI handler of NMI watchdog. Also, if type of the falsely handled NMI
is either NMI_UNKNOWN, NMI_SERR or NMI_IO_CHECK, the corresponding
action is never performed until CondChgd bit is cleared.
I noticed this behavior on systems with Ivy Bridge processors: Intel
Xeon CPU E5-2630 v2 and Intel Xeon CPU E7-8890 v2. On both systems,
CondChgd bit in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR has already been set
in the beginning at boot. Then the CondChgd bit is immediately cleared
by next wrmsr to MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR and appears to remain
0.
On the other hand, on older processors such as Nehalem, Xeon E7540,
CondChgd bit is not set in the beginning at boot.
I'm not sure about exact behavior of CondChgd bit, in particular when
this bit is set. Although I read Intel System Programmer's Manual to
figure out that, the descriptions I found are:
In 18.9.1:
"The MSR_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS MSR also provides a ¡sticky bit¢ to
indicate changes to the state of performancmonitoring hardware"
In Table 35-2 IA-32 Architectural MSRs
63 CondChg: status bits of this register has changed.
These are different from the bahviour I see on the actual system as I
explained above.
At least, I think ignoring CondChgd bit should be enough for NMI
watchdog perspective.

Mauro reported that his AMD X2 using the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver
locked up when doing cpu hotplug.
Because we called set_cyc2ns_scale() from the time_cpufreq_notifier()
unconditionally, it gets called multiple times for each freq change,
instead of only the once, when the tsc_khz value actually changes.
Because it gets called more than once, we run out of cyc2ns data slots
and stall, waiting for a free one, but because we're half way offline,
there's no consumers to free slots.
By placing the call inside the condition that actually changes tsc_khz
we avoid superfluous calls and avoid the problem.

There's several locations in the kernel that open code the calculation
of the next location in the trace_seq buffer. This is usually done with
p->buffer + p->len
Instead of having this open coded, supply a helper function in the
header to do it for them. This function is called trace_seq_buffer_ptr().

Function graph tracing is a bit different than the function tracers, as
it is processed after either the ftrace_caller or ftrace_regs_caller
and we only have one place to modify the jump to ftrace_graph_caller,
the jump needs to happen after the restore of registeres.
The function graph tracer is dependent on the function tracer, where
even if the function graph tracing is going on by itself, the save and
restore of registers is still done for function tracing regardless of
if function tracing is happening, before it calls the function graph
code.
If there's no function tracing happening, it is possible to just call
the function graph tracer directly, and avoid the wasted effort to save
and restore regs for function tracing.
This requires adding new flags to the dyn_ftrace records:
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP_EN
The first is set if the count for the record is one, and the ftrace_ops
associated to that record has its own trampoline. That way the mcount code
can call that trampoline directly.
In the future, trampolines can be added to arbitrary ftrace_ops, where you
can have two or more ftrace_ops registered to ftrace (like kprobes and perf)
and if they are not tracing the same functions, then instead of doing a
loop to check all registered ftrace_ops against their hashes, just call the
ftrace_ops trampoline directly, which would call the registered ftrace_ops
function directly.
Without this patch perf showed:
0.05% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_caller
0.05% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] arch_local_irq_save
0.05% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_sched_clock

0.04% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __this_cpu_preempt_check
0.04% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_graph_caller
See that the ftrace_caller took up more time than the ftrace_graph_caller
did.
With this patch:
0.05% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __buffer_unlock_commit
0.04% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] call_filter_check_discard
0.04% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_graph_caller
0.04% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock
The ftrace_caller is no where to be found and ftrace_graph_caller still
takes up the same percentage.
