KVM: delete .change_pte MMU notifier callback

2024-04-11T17:18:27+00:00

The .change_pte() MMU notifier callback was intended as an optimization. The original point of it was that KSM could tell KVM to flip its secondary PTE to a new location without having to first zap it. At the time there was also an .invalidate_page() callback; both of them were *not* bracketed by calls to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}(), and .invalidate_page() also doubled as a fallback implementation of .change_pte(). Later on, however, both callbacks were changed to occur within an invalidate_range_start/end() block. In the case of .change_pte(), commit 6bdb913f0a70 ("mm: wrap calls to set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end", 2012-10-09) did so to remove the fallback from .invalidate_page() to .change_pte() and allow sleepable .invalidate_page() hooks. This however made KVM's usage of the .change_pte() callback completely moot, because KVM unmaps the sPTEs during .invalidate_range_start() and therefore .change_pte() has no hope of finding a sPTE to change. Drop the generic KVM code that dispatches to kvm_set_spte_gfn(), as well as all the architecture specific implementations.

KVM: x86/mmu: rename trace function name for asynchronous page fault

2022-08-10T19:08:26+00:00

Rename the tracepoint function from trace_kvm_async_pf_doublefault() to trace_kvm_async_pf_repeated_fault() to make it clear, since double fault has nothing to do with this trace function. Asynchronous Page Fault (APF) is an artifact generated by KVM when it cannot find a physical page to satisfy an EPT violation. KVM uses APF to tell the guest OS to do something else such as scheduling other guest processes to make forward progress. However, when another guest process also touches a previously APFed page, KVM halts the vCPU instead of generating a repeated APF to avoid wasting cycles. Double fault (#DF) clearly has a different meaning and a different consequence when triggered. #DF requires two nested contributory exceptions instead of two page faults faulting at the same address. A prevous bug on APF indicates that it may trigger a double fault in the guest [1] and clearly this trace function has nothing to do with it. So rename this function should be a valid choice. No functional change intended. [1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg214957.html Signed-off-by: Mingwei Zhang Message-Id: <20220807052141.69186-1-mizhang@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: x86/mmu: Drop trace_kvm_age_page() tracepoint

2021-04-17T12:30:56+00:00

Remove x86's trace_kvm_age_page() tracepoint. It's mostly redundant with the common trace_kvm_age_hva() tracepoint, and if there is a need for the extra details, e.g. gfn, referenced, etc... those details should be added to the common tracepoint so that all architectures and MMUs benefit from the info.

KVM: Move arm64's MMU notifier trace events to generic code

2021-04-17T12:30:56+00:00

Move arm64's MMU notifier trace events into common code in preparation for doing the hva->gfn lookup in common code. The alternative would be to trace the gfn instead of hva, but that's not obviously better and could also be done in common code. Tracing the notifiers is also quite handy for debug regardless of architecture. Remove a completely redundant tracepoint from PPC e500.

KVM: X86: Implement ring-based dirty memory tracking

2020-11-15T14:49:15+00:00

This patch is heavily based on previous work from Lei Cao and Paolo Bonzini . [1] KVM currently uses large bitmaps to track dirty memory. These bitmaps are copied to userspace when userspace queries KVM for its dirty page information. The use of bitmaps is mostly sufficient for live migration, as large parts of memory are be dirtied from one log-dirty pass to another. However, in a checkpointing system, the number of dirty pages is small and in fact it is often bounded---the VM is paused when it has dirtied a pre-defined number of pages. Traversing a large, sparsely populated bitmap to find set bits is time-consuming, as is copying the bitmap to user-space. A similar issue will be there for live migration when the guest memory is huge while the page dirty procedure is trivial. In that case for each dirty sync we need to pull the whole dirty bitmap to userspace and analyse every bit even if it's mostly zeros. The preferred data structure for above scenarios is a dense list of guest frame numbers (GFN). This patch series stores the dirty list in kernel memory that can be memory mapped into userspace to allow speedy harvesting. This patch enables dirty ring for X86 only. However it should be easily extended to other archs as well.

KVM: x86: Allow deflecting unknown MSR accesses to user space

2020-09-28T11:58:04+00:00

MSRs are weird. Some of them are normal control registers, such as EFER. Some however are registers that really are model specific, not very interesting to virtualization workloads, and not performance critical. Others again are really just windows into package configuration. Out of these MSRs, only the first category is necessary to implement in kernel space. Rarely accessed MSRs, MSRs that should be fine tunes against certain CPU models and MSRs that contain information on the package level are much better suited for user space to process. However, over time we have accumulated a lot of MSRs that are not the first category, but still handled by in-kernel KVM code. This patch adds a generic interface to handle WRMSR and RDMSR from user space. With this, any future MSR that is part of the latter categories can be handled in user space. Furthermore, it allows us to replace the existing "ignore_msrs" logic with something that applies per-VM rather than on the full system. That way you can run productive VMs in parallel to experimental ones where you don't care about proper MSR handling.

KVM: arm: Add trace name for ARM_NISV

2020-07-30T13:54:19+00:00

Commit c726200dd106d ("KVM: arm/arm64: Allow reporting non-ISV data aborts to userspace") introduced a mechanism to deflect MMIO traffic the kernel can not handle to user space. For that, it introduced a new exit reason. However, it did not update the trace point array that gives human readable names to these exit reasons inside the trace log. Let's fix that up after the fact, so that trace logs are pretty even when we get user space MMIO traps on ARM.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
