We pass xen_vcpu_id mapping information to hypercalls which require
uint32_t type so it would be cleaner to have it as uint32_t. The
initializer to -1 can be dropped as we always do the mapping before using
it and we never check the 'not set' value anyway.

If a crash kernel is loaded, do not crash the running domain. This is
needed if the kernel is loaded with crash_kexec_post_notifiers, because
panic notifiers are run before __crash_kexec() in that case, and this
Xen hook prevents its being called later.

Historically we didn't call VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info for CPU0 for
PVHVM guests (while we had it for PV and ARM guests). This is usually
fine as we can use vcpu info in the shared_info page but when we try
booting on a vCPU with Xen's vCPU id > 31 (e.g. when we try to kdump
after crashing on this CPU) we're not able to boot.
Switch to always doing VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info for the boot CPU.

HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op() passes Linux's idea of vCPU id as a parameter
while Xen's idea is expected. In some cases these ideas diverge so we
need to do remapping.
Convert all callers of HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op() to use xen_vcpu_nr().
Leave xen_fill_possible_map() and xen_filter_cpu_maps() intact as
they're only being called by PV guests before perpu areas are
initialized. While the issue could be solved by switching to
early_percpu for xen_vcpu_id I think it's not worth it: PV guests will
probably never get to the point where their idea of vCPU id diverges
from Xen's.

It may happen that Xen's and Linux's ideas of vCPU id diverge. In
particular, when we crash on a secondary vCPU we may want to do kdump
and unlike plain kexec where we do migrate_to_reboot_cpu() we try
booting on the vCPU which crashed. This doesn't work very well for
PVHVM guests as we have a number of hypercalls where we pass vCPU id
as a parameter. These hypercalls either fail or do something
unexpected.
To solve the issue introduce percpu xen_vcpu_id mapping. ARM and PV
guests get direct mapping for now. Boot CPU for PVHVM guest gets its
id from CPUID. With secondary CPUs it is a bit more
trickier. Currently, we initialize IPI vectors before these CPUs boot
so we can't use CPUID. Use ACPI ids from MADT instead.

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.
Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.
I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.
I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36
So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.
I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.
[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org
This patch (of 19):
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).
Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

When page tables entries are set using xen_set_pte_init() during early
boot there is no page fault handler that could handle a fault when
performing an M2P lookup.
In 64 bit guests (usually dom0) early_ioremap() would fault in
xen_set_pte_init() because an M2P lookup faults because the MFN is in
MMIO space and not mapped in the M2P. This lookup is done to see if
the PFN in in the range used for the initial page table pages, so that
the PTE may be set as read-only.
The M2P lookup can be avoided by moving the check (and clear of RW)
earlier when the PFN is still available.

On slow platforms with unreliable TSC, such as QEMU emulated machines,
it is possible for the kernel to request the next event in the past. In
that case, in the current implementation of xen_vcpuop_clockevent, we
simply return -ETIME. To be precise the Xen returns -ETIME and we pass
it on. However the result of this is a missed event, which simply causes
the kernel to hang.
Instead it is better to always ask the hypervisor for a timer event,
even if the timeout is in the past. That way there are no lost
interrupts and the kernel survives. To do that, remove the
VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future flag.

To fix this, only send the kick if the target CPU's interrupt has been
initialized. This check isn't racy, because the target is waiting for
the spinlock, so it won't have initialized the interrupt in the
meantime.

We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC:
* Intel MID
* Lguest - uses paravirt
* Xen dom-U - uses paravirt
* x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag
We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy
quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through
x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which
we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can
be dealt with separately.
For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN
x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for
both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between
the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override
default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use
of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be
to account for the lack of semantics available within your given
x86_hardware_subarch.
As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as
follows:
TOTAL TEXT init.text x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+70 +62 +62 +43
Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is
all removed via __init.

This adds paravirt callbacks for unsafe MSR access. On native, they
call native_{read,write}_msr(). On Xen, they use xen_{read,write}_msr_safe().
Nothing uses them yet for ease of bisection. The next patch will
use them in rdmsrl(), wrmsrl(), etc.
I intentionally didn't make them warn on #GP on Xen. I think that
should be done separately by the Xen maintainers.

Xen supports PAT without MTRRs for its guests. In order to
enable WC attribute, it was necessary for xen_start_kernel()
to call pat_init_cache_modes() to update PAT table before
starting guest kernel.
Now that the kernel initializes PAT table to the BIOS handoff
state when MTRR is disabled, this Xen-specific PAT init code
is no longer necessary. Delete it from xen_start_kernel().
Also change __init_cache_modes() to a static function since
PAT table should not be tweaked by other modules.

In preparation for fixing a regression caused by:
9cd25aac1f ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled")'
... PAT needs to support a case that PAT MSR is initialized with a
non-default value.
When pat_init() is called and PAT is disabled, it initializes the
PAT table with the BIOS default value. Xen, however, sets PAT MSR
with a non-default value to enable WC. This causes inconsistency
between the PAT table and PAT MSR when PAT is set to disable on Xen.
Change pat_init() to handle the PAT disable cases properly. Add
init_cache_modes() to handle two cases when PAT is set to disable.
1. CPU supports PAT: Set PAT table to be consistent with PAT MSR.
2. CPU does not support PAT: Set PAT table to be consistent with
PWT and PCD bits in a PTE.
Note, __init_cache_modes(), renamed from pat_init_cache_modes(),
will be changed to a static function in a later patch.

Currently Xen uses default_cpu_present_to_apicid() which will always
report BAD_APICID for PV guests since x86_bios_cpu_apic_id is initialised
to that value and is never updated.
With commit 1f12e32f4c ("x86/topology: Create logical package id"), this
op is now called by smp_init_package_map() when deciding whether to call
topology_update_package_map() which sets cpu_data(cpu).logical_proc_id.
The latter (as topology_logical_package_id(cpu)) may be used, for example,
by cpu_to_rapl_pmu() as an array index. Since uninitialized
logical_package_id is set to -1, the index will become 64K which is
obviously problematic.
While RAPL code (and any other users of logical_package_id) should be
careful in their assumptions about id's validity, Xen's
cpu_present_to_apicid op should still provide value consistent with its
own xen_apic_read(APIC_ID).

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
(ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces. These bugs are
hard to detect at the source code level. Such bugs result in
incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/. The tool's (very
simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
upstream). Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
the instruction stream and interprets it. (Right now objtool supports
the x86-64 architecture.)
From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
"The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
objtool which runs at compile time. It has a "check" subcommand
which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
metadata. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
warnings in compiler warning format:
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free. Most of
them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
- To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
that they can be used for optimized live patching.
- To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
CFI stack frames at build time. CFI debuginfo is notoriously
unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
or CFI debuginfo angle"

On Xen PV, regs->flags doesn't reliably reflect IOPL and the
exit-to-userspace code doesn't change IOPL. We need to context
switch it manually.
I'm doing this without going through paravirt because this is
specific to Xen PV. After the dust settles, we can merge this with
the 32-bit code, tidy up the iopl syscall implementation, and remove
the set_iopl pvop entirely.
Fixes XSA-171.

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"
