The existing implementation for loading the IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR
on VM-exit was incorrect, as the next call to atomic_switch_perf_msrs()
could cause this value to be overwritten. Instead, call kvm_set_msr()
which will allow atomic_switch_perf_msrs() to correctly set the values.
Define a macro, SET_MSR_OR_WARN(), to set the MSR with kvm_set_msr()
and WARN on failure.

it directly
When KVM emulates a nested VMEntry (L1->L2 VMEntry), it switches mmu root
page. If nEPT is used, this will happen from
kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu()->__kvm_mmu_new_cr3() and otherwise it will
happpen from nested_vmx_load_cr3()->kvm_mmu_new_cr3(). Either case,
__kvm_mmu_new_cr3() will use fast_cr3_switch() in attempt to switch to a
previously cached root page.
In case fast_cr3_switch() finds a matching cached root page, it will
set it in mmu->root_hpa and request KVM_REQ_LOAD_CR3 such that on
next entry to guest, KVM will set root HPA in appropriate hardware
fields (e.g. vmcs->eptp). In addition, fast_cr3_switch() calls
kvm_x86_ops->tlb_flush() in order to flush TLB as MMU root page
was replaced.
This works as mmu->root_hpa, which vmx_flush_tlb() use, was
already replaced in cached_root_available(). However, this may
result in unnecessary INVEPT execution because a KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH
may have already been requested. For example, by prepare_vmcs02()
in case L1 don't use VPID.
Therefore, change fast_cr3_switch() to just request TLB flush on
next entry to guest.

Currently, a host perf_event is created for a vPMC functionality emulation.
It’s unpredictable to determine if a disabled perf_event will be reused.
If they are disabled and are not reused for a considerable period of time,
those obsolete perf_events would increase host context switch overhead that
could have been avoided.
If the guest doesn't WRMSR any of the vPMC's MSRs during an entire vcpu
sched time slice, and its independent enable bit of the vPMC isn't set,
we can predict that the guest has finished the use of this vPMC, and then
do request KVM_REQ_PMU in kvm_arch_sched_in and release those perf_events
in the first call of kvm_pmu_handle_event() after the vcpu is scheduled in.
This lazy mechanism delays the event release time to the beginning of the
next scheduled time slice if vPMC's MSRs aren't changed during this time
slice. If guest comes back to use this vPMC in next time slice, a new perf
event would be re-created via perf_event_create_kernel_counter() as usual.

The perf_event_create_kernel_counter() in the pmc_reprogram_counter() is
a heavyweight and high-frequency operation, especially when host disables
the watchdog (maximum 21000000 ns) which leads to an unacceptable latency
of the guest NMI handler. It limits the use of vPMUs in the guest.
When a vPMC is fully enabled, the legacy reprogram_*_counter() would stop
and release its existing perf_event (if any) every time EVEN in most cases
almost the same requested perf_event will be created and configured again.
For each vPMC, if the reuqested config ('u64 eventsel' for gp and 'u8 ctrl'
for fixed) is the same as its current config AND a new sample period based
on pmc->counter is accepted by host perf interface, the current event could
be reused safely as a new created one does. Otherwise, do release the
undesirable perf_event and reprogram a new one as usual.
It's light-weight to call pmc_pause_counter (disable, read and reset event)
and pmc_resume_counter (recalibrate period and re-enable event) as guest
expects instead of release-and-create again on any condition. Compared to
use the filterable event->attr or hw.config, a new 'u64 current_config'
field is added to save the last original programed config for each vPMC.
Based on this implementation, the number of calls to pmc_reprogram_counter
is reduced by ~82.5% for a gp sampling event and ~99.9% for a fixed event.
In the usage of multiplexing perf sampling mode, the average latency of the
guest NMI handler is reduced from 104923 ns to 48393 ns (~2.16x speed up).
If host disables watchdog, the minimum latecy of guest NMI handler could be
speed up at ~3413x (from 20407603 to 5979 ns) and at ~786x in the average.

The leagcy pmu_ops->msr_idx_to_pmc is only called in kvm_pmu_rdpmc, so
this function actually receives the contents of ECX before RDPMC, and
translates it to a kvm_pmc. Let's clarify its semantic by renaming the
existing msr_idx_to_pmc to rdpmc_ecx_to_pmc, and is_valid_msr_idx to
is_valid_rdpmc_ecx; likewise for the wrapper kvm_pmu_is_valid_msr_idx.

When L1 don't use TPR-Shadow to run L2, L0 configures vmcs02 without
TPR-Shadow and install intercepts on CR8 access (load and store).
If L1 do not intercept L2 CR8 access, L0 intercepts on those accesses
will emulate load/store on L1's LAPIC TPR. If in this case L2 lowers
TPR such that there is now an injectable interrupt to L1,
apic_update_ppr() will request a KVM_REQ_EVENT which will trigger a call
to update_cr8_intercept() to update TPR-Threshold to highest pending IRR
priority.
However, this update to TPR-Threshold is done while active vmcs is
vmcs02 instead of vmcs01. Thus, when later at some point L0 will
emulate an exit from L2 to L1, L1 will still run with high
TPR-Threshold. This will result in every VMEntry to L1 to immediately
exit on TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD and continue to do so infinitely until
some condition will cause KVM_REQ_EVENT to be set.
(Note that TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD exit handler do not set KVM_REQ_EVENT
until apic_update_ppr() will notice a new injectable interrupt for PPR)
To fix this issue, change update_cr8_intercept() such that if L2 lowers
L1's TPR in a way that requires to lower L1's TPR-Threshold, save update
to TPR-Threshold and apply it to vmcs01 when L0 emulates an exit from
L2 to L1.

Intel SDM section 25.2 OTHER CAUSES OF VM EXITS specifies the following
on INIT signals: "Such exits do not modify register state or clear pending
events as they would outside of VMX operation."
When commit 4b9852f4f389 ("KVM: x86: Fix INIT signal handling in various CPU states")
was applied, I interepted above Intel SDM statement such that
INIT_SIGNAL exit don’t consume the LAPIC INIT pending event.
However, when Nadav Amit run matching kvm-unit-test on a bare-metal
machine, it turned out my interpetation was wrong. i.e. INIT_SIGNAL
exit does consume the LAPIC INIT pending event.
(See: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg196757.html)
Therefore, fix KVM code to behave as observed on bare-metal.

However, current API of KVM_SET_MP_STATE allows userspace to put vCPU
into KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED or KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED even when
vCPU is in VMX operation.
Fix this by introducing a util method to check if vCPU state latch INIT
signals and use it in KVM_SET_MP_STATE handler.

Of course CONFIG_RETPOLINE already forbids gcc to use indirect jumps
while compiling all switch() statements, however switch() would still
allow the compiler to bisect the case value. It's more efficient to
prioritize the most frequent vmexits instead.
The halt may be slow paths from the point of the guest, but not

Hyper-V has historically initialized stimer-based clockevents late in the
process of onlining a CPU because clockevents depend on stimer
interrupts. In the original Hyper-V design, stimer interrupts generate a
VMbus message, so the VMbus machinery must be running first, and VMbus
can't be initialized until relatively late. On x86/64, LAPIC timer based
clockevents are used during early initialization before VMbus and
stimer-based clockevents are ready, and again during CPU offlining after
the stimer clockevents have been shut down.
Unfortunately, this design creates problems when offlining CPUs for
hibernation or other purposes. stimer-based clockevents are shut down
relatively early in the offlining process, so clockevents_unbind_device()
must be used to fallback to the LAPIC-based clockevents for the remainder
of the offlining process. Furthermore, the late initialization and early
shutdown of stimer-based clockevents doesn't work well on ARM64 since there
is no other timer like the LAPIC to fallback to. So CPU onlining and
offlining doesn't work properly.
Fix this by recognizing that stimer Direct Mode is the normal path for
newer versions of Hyper-V on x86/64, and the only path on other
architectures. With stimer Direct Mode, stimer interrupts don't require any
VMbus machinery. stimer clockevents can be initialized and shut down
consistent with how it is done for other clockevent devices. While the old
VMbus-based stimer interrupts must still be supported for backward
compatibility on x86, that mode of operation can be treated as legacy.
So add a new Hyper-V stimer entry in the CPU hotplug state list, and use
that new state when in Direct Mode. Update the Hyper-V clocksource driver
to allocate and initialize stimer clockevents earlier during boot. Update
Hyper-V initialization and the VMbus driver to use this new design. As a
result, the LAPIC timer is no longer used during boot or CPU
onlining/offlining and clockevents_unbind_device() is not called. But
retain the old design as a legacy implementation for older versions of
Hyper-V that don't support Direct Mode.

When the crashkernel kernel command line option is specified, the low
1M memory will always be reserved now. Therefore, it's not necessary to
create a backup region anymore and also no need to copy the contents of
the first 640k to it.
Remove all the code related to handling that backup region.

Acquire the per-VM slots_lock when zapping all shadow pages as part of
toggling nx_huge_pages. The fast zap algorithm relies on exclusivity
(via slots_lock) to identify obsolete vs. valid shadow pages, because it
uses a single bit for its generation number. Holding slots_lock also
obviates the need to acquire a read lock on the VM's srcu.
Failing to take slots_lock when toggling nx_huge_pages allows multiple
instances of kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() to run concurrently, as the other
user, KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, does not take the global kvm_lock.
(kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() does take kvm->mmu_lock, but it can be
temporarily dropped by kvm_zap_obsolete_pages(), so it is not enough
to enforce exclusivity).
Concurrent fast zap instances causes obsolete shadow pages to be
incorrectly identified as valid due to the single bit generation number
wrapping, which results in stale shadow pages being left in KVM's MMU
and leads to all sorts of undesirable behavior.
The bug is easily confirmed by running with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and
toggling nx_huge_pages via its module param.
Note, until commit 4ae5acbc4936 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Take slots_lock when
using kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast()", 2019-11-13) the fast zap algorithm used
an ulong-sized generation instead of relying on exclusivity for
correctness, but all callers except the recently added set_nx_huge_pages()
needed to hold slots_lock anyways. Therefore, this patch does not have
to be backported to stable kernels.
Given that toggling nx_huge_pages is by no means a fast path, force it
to conform to the current approach instead of reintroducing the previous
generation count.

On x86, purgatory() copies the first 640K of memory to a backup region
because the kernel needs those first 640K for the real mode trampoline
during boot, among others.
However, when SME is enabled, the kernel cannot properly copy the old
memory to the backup area but reads only its encrypted contents. The
result is that the crash tool gets invalid pointers when parsing vmcore:
crash> kmem -s|grep -i invalid
kmem: dma-kmalloc-512: slab:ffffd77680001c00 invalid freepointer:a6086ac099f0c5a4
kmem: dma-kmalloc-512: slab:ffffd77680001c00 invalid freepointer:a6086ac099f0c5a4
crash>
So reserve the remaining low 1M memory when the crashkernel option is
specified (after reserving real mode memory) so that allocated memory
does not fall into the low 1M area and thus the copying of the contents
of the first 640k to a backup region in purgatory() can be avoided
altogether.
This way, it does not need to be included in crash dumps or used for
anything except the trampolines that must live in the low 1M.

Typically, code has a deterministic stack layout, such that at a given

That's not the case for the new ftrace_regs_caller() code after it
adjusts the stack for the direct case. Just plead ignorance and assume
it's always the non-direct path. Note this creates a tiny window for
ORC to get confused.

rdtgroup_cpus_write() and mkdir_rdt_prepare() call
rdtgroup_kn_lock_live() -> kernfs_to_rdtgroup() to get 'rdtgrp', and
then call the rdt_last_cmd_{clear,puts,...}() functions which will check
if rdtgroup_mutex is held/requires its caller to hold rdtgroup_mutex.
But if 'rdtgrp' returned from kernfs_to_rdtgroup() is NULL,
rdtgroup_mutex is not held and calling rdt_last_cmd_{clear,puts,...}()
will result in a self-incurred, potential lockdep warning.
Remove the rdt_last_cmd_{clear,puts,...}() calls in these two paths.

With recent optimizations to AUX and PT buffer management code (high order

now that the output MSRs won't need reprogramming on every sched-in.

Most of PT implementations support Single Range Output mode, which is
an alternative to ToPA that can be used for a single contiguous buffer
and if we don't require an interrupt, that is, in AUX snapshot mode.
Now that perf core will use high order allocations for the AUX buffer,
in many cases the first condition will also be satisfied.
The two most obvious benefits of the Single Range Output mode over the
ToPA are:
* not having to allocate the ToPA table(s),
* not using the ToPA walk hardware.
Make use of this functionality where available and appropriate.

Pull x86 TSX Async Abort and iTLB Multihit mitigations from Thomas Gleixner:
"The performance deterioration departement is not proud at all of
presenting the seventh installment of speculation mitigations and
hardware misfeature workarounds:
1) TSX Async Abort (TAA) - 'The Annoying Affair'
TAA is a hardware vulnerability that allows unprivileged
speculative access to data which is available in various CPU
internal buffers by using asynchronous aborts within an Intel TSX
transactional region.
The mitigation depends on a microcode update providing a new MSR
which allows to disable TSX in the CPU. CPUs which have no
microcode update can be mitigated by disabling TSX in the BIOS if
the BIOS provides a tunable.
Newer CPUs will have a bit set which indicates that the CPU is not
vulnerable, but the MSR to disable TSX will be available
nevertheless as it is an architected MSR. That means the kernel
provides the ability to disable TSX on the kernel command line,
which is useful as TSX is a truly useful mechanism to accelerate
side channel attacks of all sorts.
2) iITLB Multihit (NX) - 'No eXcuses'
iTLB Multihit is an erratum where some Intel processors may incur
a machine check error, possibly resulting in an unrecoverable CPU
lockup, when an instruction fetch hits multiple entries in the
instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is changed
along with either the physical address or cache type. A malicious
guest running on a virtualized system can exploit this erratum to
perform a denial of service attack.
The workaround is that KVM marks huge pages in the extended page
tables as not executable (NX). If the guest attempts to execute in
such a page, the page is broken down into 4k pages which are
marked executable. The workaround comes with a mechanism to
recover these shattered huge pages over time.
Both issues come with full documentation in the hardware
vulnerabilities section of the Linux kernel user's and administrator's
guide.
Thanks to all patch authors and reviewers who had the extraordinary
priviledge to be exposed to this nuisance.
Special thanks to Borislav Petkov for polishing the final TAA patch
set and to Paolo Bonzini for shepherding the KVM iTLB workarounds and
providing also the backports to stable kernels for those!"

The setup_data is a bit awkward to use for extremely large data objects,
both because the setup_data header has to be adjacent to the data object
and because it has a 32-bit length field. However, it is important that
intermediate stages of the boot process have a way to identify which
chunks of memory are occupied by kernel data. Thus introduce an uniform
way to specify such indirect data as setup_indirect struct and
SETUP_INDIRECT type.
And finally bump setup_header version in arch/x86/boot/header.S.

The relationships between the headers are analogous to the various data
sections:
setup_header = .data
boot_params/setup_data = .bss
What is missing from the above list? That's right:
kernel_info = .rodata
We have been (ab)using .data for things that could go into .rodata or .bss for
a long time, for lack of alternatives and -- especially early on -- inertia.
Also, the BIOS stub is responsible for creating boot_params, so it isn't
available to a BIOS-based loader (setup_data is, though).
setup_header is permanently limited to 144 bytes due to the reach of the
2-byte jump field, which doubles as a length field for the structure, combined
with the size of the "hole" in struct boot_params that a protected-mode loader
or the BIOS stub has to copy it into. It is currently 119 bytes long, which
leaves us with 25 very precious bytes. This isn't something that can be fixed
without revising the boot protocol entirely, breaking backwards compatibility.
boot_params proper is limited to 4096 bytes, but can be arbitrarily extended
by adding setup_data entries. It cannot be used to communicate properties of
the kernel image, because it is .bss and has no image-provided content.
kernel_info solves this by providing an extensible place for information about
the kernel image. It is readonly, because the kernel cannot rely on a
bootloader copying its contents anywhere, but that is OK; if it becomes
necessary it can still contain data items that an enabled bootloader would be
expected to copy into a setup_data chunk.
Do not bump setup_header version in arch/x86/boot/header.S because it
will be followed by additional changes coming into the Linux/x86 boot
protocol.

Some modern systems have very tight thermal tolerances. Because of this
they may cross thermal thresholds when running normal workloads (even
during boot). The CPU hardware will react by limiting power/frequency
and using duty cycles to bring the temperature back into normal range.
Thus users may see a "critical" message about the "temperature above
threshold" which is soon followed by "temperature/speed normal". These
messages are rate-limited, but still may repeat every few minutes.
This issue became worse starting with the Ivy Bridge generation of
CPUs because they include a TCC activation offset in the MSR
IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET. OEMs use this to provide alerts long before
critical temperatures are reached.
A test run on a laptop with Intel 8th Gen i5 core for two hours with a
workload resulted in 20K+ thermal interrupts per CPU for core level and
another 20K+ interrupts at package level. The kernel logs were full of
throttling messages.
The real value of these threshold interrupts, is to debug problems with
the external cooling solutions and performance issues due to excessive
throttling.
So the solution here is the following:
- In the current thermal_throttle folder, show:
- the maximum time for one throttling event and,
- the total amount of time the system was in throttling state.
- Do not log short excursions.
- Log only when, in spite of thermal throttling, the temperature is rising.
On the high threshold interrupt trigger a delayed workqueue that
monitors the threshold violation log bit (THERM_STATUS_PROCHOT_LOG). When
the log bit is set, this workqueue callback calculates three point moving
average and logs a warning message when the temperature trend is rising.
When this log bit is clear and temperature is below threshold
temperature, then the workqueue callback logs a "Normal" message. Once a
high threshold event is logged, the logging is rate-limited.
With this patch on the same test laptop, no warnings are printed in the logs
as the max time the processor could bring the temperature under control is
only 280 ms.
This implementation is done with the inputs from Alan Cox and Tony Luck.

Some Coffee Lake platforms have a skewed HPET timer once the SoCs entered
PC10, which in consequence marks TSC as unstable because HPET is used as
watchdog clocksource for TSC.
Harry Pan tried to work around it in the clocksource watchdog code [1]
thereby creating a circular dependency between HPET and TSC. This also
ignores the fact, that HPET is not only unsuitable as watchdog clocksource
on these systems, it becomes unusable in general.
Disable HPET on affected platforms.
