KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules only

2025-09-30T17:40:02+00:00

Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko. With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM- internal usage only. Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file). Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

sched/vtime: Do not include header

2024-04-17T11:37:23+00:00

There is no architecture-specific code or data left that generic needs to know about. Thus, avoid the inclusion of header.

char/agp: introduce asm-generic/agp.h

2023-02-13T21:13:29+00:00

There are several architectures that duplicate definitions of map_page_into_agp(), unmap_page_from_agp() and flush_agp_cache(). Define those in asm-generic/agp.h and use it instead of duplicated per-architecture headers. Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (IBM) Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

powerpc/syscalls: switch to generic syscalltbl.sh

local64.h: make mandatory

2020-12-29T23:36:49+00:00

Make mandatory in include/asm-generic/Kbuild and remove all arch/*/include/asm/local64.h arch-specific files since they only #include . This fixes build errors on arch/c6x/ and arch/nios2/ for block/blk-iocost.c. Build-tested on 21 of 25 arch-es. (tools problems on the others) Yes, we could even rename to and change all #includes to use instead.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks. - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9 or later. - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice. - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures. - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems. - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs. - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path. - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

powerpc/64s: Implement queued spinlocks and rwlocks

2020-07-26T14:01:23+00:00

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems. With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536 thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs 384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x. Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded performance is not changed (no measurable difference). On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be found here: https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453 Observations are: - Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as expected and as measured with microbenchmarks. - When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better throughput and max latency at all points. - When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency rises when clients are 2x vCPUs. The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking, but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively small systems.

KVM: Move x86's version of struct kvm_mmu_memory_cache to common code

2020-07-09T17:29:42+00:00

Move x86's 'struct kvm_mmu_memory_cache' to common code in anticipation of moving the entire x86 implementation code to common KVM and reusing it for arm64 and MIPS. Add a new architecture specific asm/kvm_types.h to control the existence and parameters of the struct. The new header is needed to avoid a chicken-and-egg problem with asm/kvm_host.h as all architectures define instances of the struct in their vCPU structs. Add an asm-generic version of kvm_types.h to avoid having empty files on PPC and s390 in the long term, and for arm64 and mips in the short term.

asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatory

2020-04-02T16:35:25+00:00

Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met: [1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild [2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation (arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild This commit was generated by the following shell script. ----------------------------------->8----------------------------------- arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d') tmpfile=$(mktemp) grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild > $tmpfile find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' | xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += $.*$/\1/p' | sort -u | while read header do mandatory=yes for arch in $arches do if ! grep -q "generic-y += $header" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild && ! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then mandatory=no break fi done if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then echo "mandatory-y += $header" >> $tmpfile for arch in $arches do sed -i "/generic-y += $header/d" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild done fi done sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild LANG=C sort $tmpfile >> include/asm-generic/Kbuild ----------------------------------->8----------------------------------- One obvious benefit is the diff stat: 25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-) It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it. So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header implementation. See the following commits: def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24 It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell script.
