Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:
- Initial implementation of the state machine
- Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
not on some random processor
- Replaces busy loop waiting with completions
- Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"
More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
"What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?
- Asymmetry
The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.
- Largely undocumented dependencies
While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
express dependencies without any documentation why.
- Control processor driven
Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring the rest up
- All or nothing approach
There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.
- Minimal debuggability
Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.
- Notifier [un]registering is tedious
To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
do it itself. That also includes error rollback.
What's the new design?
The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
stopped and reversed at almost all states.
So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring itself up
The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
other mechanism.
The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.
There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.
The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
off completely.
This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
core level. This includes the following:
- Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
ordering and prioritization can be expressed.
- Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks
This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
the state machine array.
For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
explicit hotplug state.
If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
previous state.
- Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.
This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.
- Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
processor:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
wait for boot
bring itself up
Signal completion to control cpu
In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.
This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.
I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
testable behaviour"

KVM: s390: Fixes and features for kvm/next (4.6) part 2
- add watchdog diagnose to trace event decoder
- better handle the cpu timer when not inside the guest
- only provide STFLE if the CPU model has STFLE
- reduce DMA page usage
There is a tricky interaction between the machine check handler
and the critical sections of load_fpu_regs and save_fpu_regs
functions. If the machine check interrupts one of the two
functions the critical section cleanup will complete the function
before the machine check handler s390_do_machine_check is called.
Trouble is that the machine check handler needs to validate the
floating point registers *before* and not *after* the completion
of load_fpu_regs/save_fpu_regs.
The simplest solution is to rewind the PSW to the start of the
load_fpu_regs/save_fpu_regs and retry the function after the
return from the machine check handler.

Add the missing lpp magic initialization for cpu 0. Without this all
samples on cpu 0 do not have the most significant bit set in the
program parameter field, which we use to distinguish between guest and
host samples if the pid is also 0.
We did initialize the lpp magic in the absolute zero lowcore but
forgot that when switching to the allocated lowcore on cpu 0 only.

The fork of a process with four page table levels is broken since
git commit 6252d702c5 "[S390] dynamic page tables."
All new mm contexts are created with three page table levels and
an asce limit of 4TB. If the parent has four levels dup_mmap will
add vmas to the new context which are outside of the asce limit.
The subsequent call to copy_page_range will walk the three level
page table structure of the new process with non-zero pgd and pud
indexes. This leads to memory clobbers as the pgd_index *and* the
pud_index is added to the mm->pgd pointer without a pgd_deref
in between.
The init_new_context() function is selecting the number of page
table levels for a new context. The function is used by mm_init()
which in turn is called by dup_mm() and mm_alloc(). These two are
used by fork() and exec(). The init_new_context() function can
distinguish the two cases by looking at mm->context.asce_limit,
for fork() the mm struct has been copied and the number of page
table levels may not change. For exec() the mm_alloc() function
set the new mm structure to zero, in this case a three-level page
table is created as the temporary stack space is located at
STACK_TOP_MAX = 4TB.
This fixes CVE-2016-2143.

When the VCPU cpu timer expires, we have to wake up just like when the ckc
triggers. For now, setting up a cpu timer in the guest and going into
enabled wait will never lead to a wakeup. This patch fixes this problem.
Just as for the ckc, we have to take care of waking up too early. We
have to recalculate the sleep time and go back to sleep.
Please note that the timer callback calls kvm_s390_get_cpu_timer() from
interrupt context. As the timer is canceled when leaving handle_wait(),
and we don't do any VCPU cpu timer writes/updates in that function, we can
be sure that we will never try to read the VCPU cpu timer from the same cpu
that is currentyl updating the timer (deadlock).

The cpu timer is a mean to measure task execution time. We want
to account everything for a VCPU for which it is responsible. Therefore,
if the VCPU wants to sleep, it shall be accounted for it.
We can easily get this done by not disabling cpu timer accounting when
scheduled out while sleeping because of enabled wait.

For now, only the owning VCPU thread (that has loaded the VCPU) can get a
consistent cpu timer value when calculating the delta. However, other
threads might also be interested in a more recent, consistent value. Of
special interest will be the timer callback of a VCPU that executes without
having the VCPU loaded and could run in parallel with the VCPU thread.
The cpu timer has a nice property: it is only updated by the owning VCPU
thread. And speaking about accounting, a consistent value can only be
calculated by looking at cputm_start and the cpu timer itself in
one shot, otherwise the result might be wrong.
As we only have one writing thread at a time (owning VCPU thread), we can
use a seqcount instead of a seqlock and retry if the VCPU refreshed its
cpu timer. This avoids any heavy locking and only introduces a counter
update/check plus a handful of smp_wmb().
The owning VCPU thread should never have to retry on reads, and also for
other threads this might be a very rare scenario.
Please note that we have to use the raw_* variants for locking the seqcount
as lockdep will produce false warnings otherwise. The rq->lock held during
vcpu_load/put is also acquired from hardirq context. Lockdep cannot know
that we avoid potential deadlocks by disabling preemption and thereby
disable concurrent write locking attempts (via vcpu_put/load).

Architecturally we should only provide steal time if we are scheduled
away, and not if the host interprets a guest exit. We have to step
the guest CPU timer in these cases.
In the first shot, we will step the VCPU timer only during the kvm_run
ioctl. Therefore all time spent e.g. in interception handlers or on irq
delivery will be accounted for that VCPU.
We have to take care of a few special cases:
- Other VCPUs can test for pending irqs. We can only report a consistent
value for the VCPU thread itself when adding the delta.
- We have to take care of STP sync, therefore we have to extend
kvm_clock_sync() and disable preemption accordingly
- During any call to disable/enable/start/stop we could get premeempted
and therefore get start/stop calls. Therefore we have to make sure we
don't get into an inconsistent state.
Whenever a VCPU is scheduled out, sleeping, in user space or just about
to enter the SIE, the guest cpu timer isn't stepped.
Please note that all primitives are prepared to be called from both
environments (cpu timer accounting enabled or not), although not completely
used in this patch yet (e.g. kvm_s390_set_cpu_timer() will never be called
while cpu timer accounting is enabled).

With MACHINE_HAS_VX, we convert the floating point registers from the
vector registeres when storing the status. For other VCPUs, these are
stored to vcpu->run->s.regs.vrs, but we are using current->thread.fpu.vxrs,
which resolves to the currently loaded VCPU.
So kvm_s390_store_status_unloaded() currently writes the wrong floating
point registers (converted from the vector registers) when called from
another VCPU on a z13.
This is only the case for old user space not handling SIGP STORE STATUS and
SIGP STOP AND STORE STATUS, but relying on the kernel implementation. All
other calls come from the loaded VCPU via kvm_s390_store_status().

However I forgot to remove the corresponding define in our percpu

incorrectly generate a cdsg instruction if being used on a double four
byte location. Therefore remove the percpu define as well.
There is currently no user and therefore no bug fixed with

commit e22cf8ca6f ("s390/cpumf: rework program parameter setting

guest/host. We can do better: We can use the primary asn value,
which is set on all Linux variants to compare this with the host
pp value.
We now have the following cases:
1. Guest using PP
host sample: gpp == 0, asn == hpp --> host
guest sample: gpp != 0 --> guest
2. Guest not using PP
host sample: gpp == 0, asn == hpp --> host
guest sample: gpp == 0, asn != hpp --> guest
As soon as the host no longer sets CR4, we must back out
this heuristics - let's add a comment in switch_to.

Git commit ab3f285f22
"KVM: s390/mm: try a cow on read only pages for key ops"
added a fixup_user_fault to set_guest_storage_key force a copy on
write if the page is mapped read-only. This is supposed to fix the
problem of differing storage keys for shared mappings, e.g. the
empty_zero_page.
But if the storage key is set before the pte is mapped the storage
key update is done on the pgste. A later fault will happily map the
shared page with the key from the pgste.
Eventually git commit 2faee8ff9d
"s390/mm: prevent and break zero page mappings in case of storage keys"
fixed this problem for the empty_zero_page. The commit makes sure that
guests enabled for storage keys will not use the empty_zero_page at all.
As the call to fixup_user_fault in set_guest_storage_key depends on the
order of the storage key operation vs. the fault that maps the pte
it does not really fix anything. Just remove it.

The problem:
On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:
1) hard interrupt
2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
4) vcpu thread is scheduled
This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
LAPIC path for a KVM guest.
The solution:
Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.
Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
is not allowed from hard interrupt context.
