External inputs to the vgic from time to time need to poke into the
state of a virtual interrupt, the prime example is the architected timer
code.
Since the IRQ's active state can be represented in two places; the LR or
the distributor, we first loop over the LRs but if not active in the LRs
we just return if *any* IRQ is active on the VCPU in question.
This is of course bogus, as we should check if the specific IRQ in
quesiton is active on the distributor instead.

Commit e6fab5442345 ("ARM/arm64: KVM: test properly for a PTE's
uncachedness") modified the logic to test whether a HYP or stage-2
mapping needs flushing, from [incorrectly] interpreting the page table
attributes to [incorrectly] checking whether the PFN that backs the
mapping is covered by host system RAM. The PFN number is part of the
output of the translation, not the input, so we have to use pte_pfn()
on the contents of the PTE, not __phys_to_pfn() on the HYP virtual
address or stage-2 intermediate physical address.

Using oldstyle vcpu_reg() accessor is proven to be inappropriate and

System register accesses also use zero register for Rt == 31, and
therefore using it will also result in getting SP value instead. This
patch makes them also using new accessors, introduced by the previous
patch. Since register value is no longer directly associated with storage
inside vCPU context structure, we introduce a dedicated storage for it in
struct sys_reg_params.
This refactor also gets rid of "massive hack" in kvm_handle_cp_64().

Further rework is going to introduce a dedicated storage for transfer

remove 'const' modifiers from it in all accessor functions and their

On ARM64 register index of 31 corresponds to both zero register and SP.
However, all memory access instructions, use ZR as transfer register. SP
is used only as a base register in indirect memory addressing, or by
register-register arithmetics, which cannot be trapped here.
Correct emulation is achieved by introducing new register accessor
functions, which can do special handling for reg_num == 31. These new
accessors intentionally do not rely on old vcpu_reg() on ARM64, because
it is to be removed. Since the affected code is shared by both ARM
flavours, implementations of these accessors are also added to ARM32 code.
This patch fixes setting MMIO register to a random value (actually SP)
instead of zero by something like:
*((volatile int *)reg) = 0;
compilers tend to generate "str wzr, [xx]" here

If we call __kvm_hyp_panic while a guest context is active, we call
__restore_sysregs before acquiring the system register values for the
panic, in the process throwing away the PAR_EL1 value at the point of
the panic.
This patch modifies __kvm_hyp_panic to stash the PAR_EL1 value prior to
restoring host register values, enabling us to report the original
values at the point of the panic.

Currently __kvm_hyp_panic uses %p for values which are not pointers,

Use %x instead, and only use %p for host pointers.

We were probing the physial distributor state for the active state of a
HW virtual IRQ, because we had seen evidence that the LR state was not
cleared when the guest deactivated a virtual interrupted.
However, this issue turned out to be a software bug in the GIC, which
was solved by: 84aab5e68c2a5e1e18d81ae8308c3ce25d501b29
(KVM: arm/arm64: arch_timer: Preserve physical dist. active

We were incorrectly removing the active state from the physical
distributor on the timer interrupt when the timer output level was
deasserted. We shouldn't be doing this without considering the virtual
interrupt's active state, because the architecture requires that when an
LR has the HW bit set and the pending or active bits set, then the
physical interrupt must also have the corresponding bits set.
This addresses an issue where we have been observing an inconsistency
between the LR state and the physical distributor state where the LR
state was active and the physical distributor was not active, which
shouldn't happen.

We were setting the physical active state on the GIC distributor in a
preemptible section, which could cause us to set the active state on
different physical CPU from the one we were actually going to run on,
hacoc ensues.
Since we are no longer descheduling/scheduling soft timers in the
flush/sync timer functions, simply moving the timer flush into a
non-preemptible section.

When running a 32bit guest under a 64bit hypervisor, the ARMv8
architecture defines a mapping of the 32bit registers in the 64bit
space. This includes banked registers that are being demultiplexed
over the 64bit ones.
On exceptions caused by an operation involving a 32bit register, the
HW exposes the register number in the ESR_EL2 register. It was so
far understood that SW had to distinguish between AArch32 and AArch64
accesses (based on the current AArch32 mode and register number).
It turns out that I misinterpreted the ARM ARM, and the clue is in
D1.20.1: "For some exceptions, the exception syndrome given in the
ESR_ELx identifies one or more register numbers from the issued
instruction that generated the exception. Where the exception is
taken from an Exception level using AArch32 these register numbers
give the AArch64 view of the register."
Which means that the HW is already giving us the translated version,
and that we shouldn't try to interpret it at all (for example, doing
an MMIO operation from the IRQ mode using the LR register leads to
very unexpected behaviours).
The fix is thus not to perform a call to vcpu_reg32() at all from
vcpu_reg(), and use whatever register number is supplied directly.
The only case we need to find out about the mapping is when we
actively generate a register access, which only occurs when injecting
a fault in a guest.

The open coded tests for checking whether a PTE maps a page as
uncached use a flawed '(pte_val(xxx) & CONST) != CONST' pattern,
which is not guaranteed to work since the type of a mapping is
not a set of mutually exclusive bits
For HYP mappings, the type is an index into the MAIR table (i.e, the
index itself does not contain any information whatsoever about the
type of the mapping), and for stage-2 mappings it is a bit field where
normal memory and device types are defined as follows:
#define MT_S2_NORMAL 0xf
#define MT_S2_DEVICE_nGnRE 0x1
I.e., masking *and* comparing with the latter matches on the former,
and we have been getting lucky merely because the S2 device mappings
also have the PTE_UXN bit set, or we would misidentify memory mappings
as device mappings.
Since the unmap_range() code path (which contains one instance of the
flawed test) is used both for HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings, and
considering the difference between the two, it is non-trivial to fix
this by rewriting the tests in place, as it would involve passing
down the type of mapping through all the functions.
However, since HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings both deal with host
physical addresses, we can simply check whether the mapping is backed
by memory that is managed by the host kernel, and only perform the
D-cache maintenance if this is the case.

I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.
If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
to not add any asm code.
Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus,
we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
memcg_kmem_get_cache().
This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.
As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
to handle an array of objects.
A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier
realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow
In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.
The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.
To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:
1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.
2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
each with a separate head pointer.
3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.
Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.
All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.
Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().
Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
larger bulking. This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
can achieve similar performance.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).
Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.
This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.
Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

Adjust the linker script and map_pages() to map kernel text and data on
physical 1MB huge/large pages.

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.
The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.
Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

Use the 22bit instead of the 17bit branch instruction on a 64bit kernel
to reach the do_syscall_trace_exit function from the gateway page.
A huge page enabled kernel may need the additional branch distance bits.

For the 64bit kernel the initially 16 MB kernel memory might become too
small if you build a kernel with many modules built-in and with kernel
text and data areas mapped on huge pages.
This patch increases the initial mapping to 32MB for 64bit kernels and
keeps 16MB for 32bit kernels.

A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned. Furthermore the
checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being
calculated and written at runtime.
Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K
page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the
kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write).
But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this
makes things harder.
So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write
the checksum before we map the page read-only.

Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which
is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and
on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages.
Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate
it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge
page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support
later on.
Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page
as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT).
