10af6235e0 x86/mm: Implement PCID based optimization: try to preserve old TLB entries using PCID
PCID is a "process context ID" -- it's what other architectures call
an address space ID.  Every non-global TLB entry is tagged with a
PCID, only TLB entries that match the currently selected PCID are
used, and we can switch PGDs without flushing the TLB.  x86's
PCID is 12 bits.

This is an unorthodox approach to using PCID.  x86's PCID is far too
short to uniquely identify a process, and we can't even really
uniquely identify a running process because there are monster
systems with over 4096 CPUs.  To make matters worse, past attempts
to use all 12 PCID bits have resulted in slowdowns instead of
speedups.

This patch uses PCID differently.  We use a PCID to identify a
recently-used mm on a per-cpu basis.  An mm has no fixed PCID
binding at all; instead, we give it a fresh PCID each time it's
loaded except in cases where we want to preserve the TLB, in which
case we reuse a recent value.

Here are some benchmark results, done on a Skylake laptop at 2.3 GHz
(turbo off, intel_pstate requesting max performance) under KVM with
the guest using idle=poll (to avoid artifacts when bouncing between
CPUs).  I haven't done any real statistics here -- I just ran them
in a loop and picked the fastest results that didn't look like
outliers.  Unpatched means commit a4eb8b9935, so all the
bookkeeping overhead is gone.

ping-pong between two mms on the same CPU using eventfd:

  patched:         1.22µs
  patched, nopcid: 1.33µs
  unpatched:       1.34µs

Same ping-pong, but now touch 512 pages (all zero-page to minimize
cache misses) each iteration.  dTLB misses are measured by
dtlb_load_misses.miss_causes_a_walk:

  patched:         1.8µs  11M  dTLB misses
  patched, nopcid: 6.2µs, 207M dTLB misses
  unpatched:       6.1µs, 190M dTLB misses

eef9c4abe7 x86/mm: Add SME support for read_cr3_pa()
The CR3 register entry can contain the SME encryption mask that indicates
the PGD is encrypted.  The encryption mask should not be used when
creating a virtual address from the CR3 register, so remove the SME
encryption mask in the read_cr3_pa() function.

During early boot SME will need to use a native version of read_cr3_pa(),
so create native_read_cr3_pa().

6c690ee103 x86/mm: Split read_cr3() into read_cr3_pa() and __read_cr3()
The kernel has several code paths that read CR3.  Most of them assume that
CR3 contains the PGD's physical address, whereas some of them awkwardly
use PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK to mask off low bits.

Add explicit mask macros for CR3 and convert all of the CR3 readers.
This will keep them from breaking when PCID is enabled.

ad756a1603 KVM: VMX: Implement PCID/INVPCID for guests with EPT
This patch handles PCID/INVPCID for guests.

Process-context identifiers (PCIDs) are a facility by which a logical processor
may cache information for multiple linear-address spaces so that the processor
may retain cached information when software switches to a different linear
address space. Refer to section 4.10.1 in IA32 Intel Software Developer's Manual
Volume 3A for details.

For guests with EPT, the PCID feature is enabled and INVPCID behaves as running
natively.
For guests without EPT, the PCID feature is disabled and INVPCID triggers #UD.

1cf8343f55 x86: Fix rflags in FAKE_STACK_FRAME
The x86_64 kernel pushes the fake kernel stack in
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:FAKE_STACK_FRAME, and
rflags register in it does not conform to the specification.

Although Intel's manual[1] says bit 1 of it shall be set to 1,
this bit is cleared to 0 on pushing the fake stack.

[1] Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual
    Vol.1 3-21 Figure 3-8. EFLAGS Register

If it is not on purpose, it is better to be fixed, because
it can lead some tools misunderstanding the stack frame. For example,
"crash" utility[2] actually detects it and warns you like
below:

       RIP: ffffffff8005dfa2  RSP: ffff8104ce0c7f58  RFLAGS: 00000200
       [...]

       bt: WARNING: possibly bogus exception frame
