commit f1ccd249319e allowed the cmdline "cpu_init_udelay=" to work
with all values, including the default of 10000.
But in setting the default of 10000, it over-rode the code that sets
the delay 0 on modern processors.
Also, tidy up use of INT/UINT.
Fixes: f1ccd249319e "x86/smpboot: Fix cpu_init_udelay=10000 corner case boot parameter misbehavior"

pte_update_defer can be removed as it is always set to the same
function as pte_update. So any usage of pte_update_defer() can be
replaced by pte_update().
pmd_update and pmd_update_defer are always set to paravirt_nop, so they
can just be nuked.

x86_init_rdrand() was added with 2 goals:
1. Sanity check that the built-in-self-test circuit on the Digital
Random Number Generator (DRNG) is not complaining. As RDRAND
HW self-checks on every invocation, this goal is achieved
by simply invoking RDRAND and checking its return code.
2. Force a full re-seed of the random number generator.
This was done out of paranoia to benefit the most un-sophisticated
DRNG implementation conceivable in the architecture,
an implementation that does not exist, and unlikely ever will.
This worst-case full-re-seed is achieved by invoking
a 64-bit RDRAND 8192 times.
Unfortunately, this worst-case re-seed costs O(1,000us).
Magnifying this cost, it is done from identify_cpu(), which is the
synchronous critical path to bring a processor on-line -- repeated
for every logical processor in the system at boot and resume from S3.
As it is very expensive, and of highly dubious value, we delete the
worst-case re-seed from the kernel.
We keep the 1st goal -- sanity check the hardware, and mark it absent
if it complains.
This change reduces the cost of x86_init_rdrand() by a factor of 1,000x,
to O(1us) from O(1,000us).

When an anomaly is found while modifying function code, ftrace_bug() is
called which disables the function tracing infrastructure and reports
information about what failed. If the code that is to be replaced does not
match what is expected, then actual code is shown. Currently there is no
arch generic way to show what was expected.
Add a new variable pointer calld ftrace_expected that the arch code can set
to point to what it expected so that ftrace_bug() can report the actual text
as well as the text that was expected to be there.

At some call sites of rmap_get_first() and rmap_get_next(), BUG_ON is
placed right after the call to detect unrelated sptes which must not be
found in the reverse-mapping list.
Move this check in rmap_get_first/next() so that all call sites, not
just the users of the for_each_rmap_spte() macro, will be checked the
same way.
One thing to keep in mind is that kvm_mmu_unlink_parents() also uses
rmap_get_first() to handle parent sptes. The change will not break it
because parent sptes are present, at least until drop_parent_pte()
actually unlinks them, and not mmio-sptes.

is_rmap_spte(), originally named is_rmap_pte(), was introduced when the
simple reverse mapping was implemented by commit cd4a4e5374110444
("[PATCH] KVM: MMU: Implement simple reverse mapping"). At that point,
its role was clear and only rmap_add() and rmap_remove() were using it
to select sptes that need to be reverse-mapped.
Independently of that, is_shadow_present_pte() was first introduced by
commit c7addb902054195b ("KVM: Allow not-present guest page faults to
bypass kvm") to do bypass_guest_pf optimization, which does not exist
any more.
These two seem to have changed their roles somewhat, and is_rmap_spte()
just calls is_shadow_present_pte() now.
Since using both of them without clear distinction just makes the code
confusing, remove is_rmap_spte().

mmu_set_spte()'s code is based on the assumption that the emulate
parameter has a valid pointer value if set_spte() returns true and
write_fault is not zero. In other cases, emulate may be NULL, so a
NULL-check is needed.
Stop passing emulate pointer and make mmu_set_spte() return the emulate
value instead to clean up this complex interface. Prefetch functions
can just throw away the return value.

Commit 7a1638ce4220 ("nEPT: Redefine EPT-specific link_shadow_page()",
2013-08-05) says:
Since nEPT doesn't support A/D bit, we should not set those bit
when building the shadow page table.
but this is not necessary. Even though nEPT doesn't support A/D
bits, and hence the vmcs12 EPT pointer will never enable them,
we always use them for shadow page tables if available (see
construct_eptp in vmx.c). So we can set the A/D bits freely
in the shadow page table.
This patch hence basically reverts commit 7a1638ce4220.

SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension,
which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU
- 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to
trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI
semantics
- a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message
slots
- an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT
event flag areas
The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the
corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area.
The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by
explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM)
MSR.
The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications
via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each
configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT
mapping.
Changes v4:
* added activation of SynIC by vcpu KVM_ENABLE_CAP
* added per SynIC active flag
* added deactivation of APICv upon SynIC activation
Changes v3:
* added KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC and KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_HV_SINT notes into
docs
Changes v2:
* do not use posted interrupts for Hyper-V SynIC AutoEOI vectors
* add Hyper-V SynIC vectors into EOI exit bitmap
* Hyper-V SyniIC SINT msr write logic simplified

The decision on whether to use hardware APIC virtualization used to be
taken globally, based on the availability of the feature in the CPU
and the value of a module parameter.
However, under certain circumstances we want to control it on per-vcpu
basis. In particular, when the userspace activates HyperV synthetic
interrupt controller (SynIC), APICv has to be disabled as it's
incompatible with SynIC auto-EOI behavior.
To achieve that, introduce 'apicv_active' flag on struct
kvm_vcpu_arch, and kvm_vcpu_deactivate_apicv() function to turn APICv
off. The flag is initialized based on the module parameter and CPU
capability, and consulted whenever an APICv-specific action is
performed.

The function to determine if the vector is handled by ioapic used to
rely on the fact that only ioapic-handled vectors were set up to
cause vmexits when virtual apic was in use.
We're going to break this assumption when introducing Hyper-V
synthetic interrupts: they may need to cause vmexits too.
To achieve that, introduce a new bitmap dedicated specifically for
ioapic-handled vectors, and populate EOI exit bitmap from it for now.

This patch removes the vpid check when emulating nested invvpid
instruction of type all-contexts invalidation. The existing code is
incorrect because:
(1) According to Intel SDM Vol 3, Section "INVVPID - Invalidate
Translations Based on VPID", invvpid instruction does not check
vpid in the invvpid descriptor when its type is all-contexts
invalidation.
(2) According to the same document, invvpid of type all-contexts
invalidation does not require there is an active VMCS, so/and
get_vmcs12() in the existing code may result in a NULL-pointer
dereference. In practice, it can crash both KVM itself and L1
hypervisors that use invvpid (e.g. Xen).

On CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING kernels that have context tracking
disabled at runtime (which includes most distro kernels), we
still have the overhead of a call to enter_from_user_mode in

If jump labels are available, this uses the jump label

Unfortunately, we can only do this if HAVE_JUMP_LABEL. In
principle, we could do some serious surgery on the core jump
label infrastructure to keep the patch infrastructure available
on x86 on all builds, but that's probably not worth it.
Implementing the macros using a conditional branch as a fallback
seems like a bad idea: we'd have to clobber flags.
This limitation can't cause silent failures -- trying to include
asm/jump_label.h at all on a non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL kernel will
error out. The macro's users are responsible for handling this
issue themselves.

Paolo pointed out that enter_from_user_mode could be called
while irqflags were traced as though IRQs were on.
In principle, this could confuse lockdep. It doesn't cause any
problems that I've seen in any configuration, but if I build
with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y, enable a nohz_full CPU, and add
code like:
if (irqs_disabled()) {
spin_lock(&something);
spin_unlock(&something);
}
to the top of enter_from_user_mode, then lockdep will complain
without this fix. It seems that lockdep's irqflags sanity
checks are too weak to detect this bug without forcing the
issue.
This patch adds one byte to normal kernels, and it's IMO a bit
ugly. I haven't spotted a better way to do this yet, though.
The issue is that we can't do TRACE_IRQS_OFF until after SWAPGS
(if needed), but we're also supposed to do it before calling C
code.
An alternative approach would be to call trace_hardirqs_off in
enter_from_user_mode. That would be less code and would not
bloat normal kernels at all, but it would be harder to see how
the code worked.

Saving and restoring lapic vectors in lapic_suspend() and
lapic_resume() is not consistent: the thmr vector saving is
guarded by a different config option than the restore part. The
cmci vector isn't handled at all.
Those inconsistencies are not very critical, as the missing cmci
vector will be set via mce resume handling, the wrong config
option used for restoring the thmr vector can't be configured
differently than the one which should be used.
Nevertheless correct the thmr vector restore and add cmci vector
handling.

So sparse rightfully complains that the u64 MSR value we're
writing into the STAR MSR, i.e. 0xc0000081, is being truncated:
./arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h:193:36: warning: cast truncates
bits from constant value (23001000000000 becomes 0)
because the actual value doesn't fit into the unsigned 32-bit
quantity which are the @low and @high wrmsrl() parameters.
This is not a problem, practically, because gcc is actually
being smart enough here and does the right thing:
.loc 3 87 0
xorl %esi, %esi # we needz a 32-bit zero
movl $2293776, %edx # 0x00230010 == (__USER32_CS << 16) | __KERNEL_CS go into the high bits
movl $-1073741695, %ecx # MSR_STAR, i.e., 0xc0000081
movl %esi, %eax # low order 32 bits in the MSR which are 0
#APP
# 87 "./arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h" 1
wrmsr
More specifically, MSR_STAR[31:0] is being set to 0. That field
is reserved on Intel and on AMD it is 32-bit SYSCALL Target EIP.
I'd strongly guess because Intel doesn't have SYSCALL in
compat/legacy mode and we're using SYSENTER and INT80 there. And
for compat syscalls in long mode we use CSTAR.
So let's fix the sparse warning by writing SYSRET and SYSCALL CS
and SS into the high 32-bit half of STAR and 0 in the low half
explicitly.
[ Actually, if we had to be precise, we would have to read what's in
STAR[31:0] and write it back unchanged on Intel and write 0 on AMD. I
guess the current writing to 0 is still ok since Intel can apparently
stomach it. ]
The resulting code is identical to what we have above:
.loc 3 87 0
xorl %esi, %esi # tmp104
movl $2293776, %eax #, tmp103
movl $-1073741695, %ecx #, tmp102
movl %esi, %edx # tmp104, tmp104
...

The kernel accesses IC_CFG MSR (0xc0011021) on AMD because it
checks whether the way access filter is enabled on some F15h
models, and, if so, disables it.
kvm doesn't handle that MSR access and complains about it, which
can get really noisy in dmesg when one starts kvm guests all the
time for testing. And it is useless anyway - guest kernel
shouldn't be doing such changes anyway so tell it that that
filter is disabled.

We used to have a special ring buffer for deferred errors that
was used to mark problem pages. We replaced that with a generic
pool. Then later converted mce_log() to also use the same pool.
As a result, we end up adding all deferred errors to the pool
twice.
Rearrange this code. Make sure to set the m.severity and
m.usable_addr fields for deferred errors. Then if flags and
mca_cfg.dont_log_ce mean we call mce_log() we are done, because
that will add this entry to the generic pool.
If we skipped mce_log(), then we still want to take action for
the deferred error, so add to the pool.
Change the name of the boolean "error_logged" to "error_seen",
we should set it whether of not we logged an error because the
return value from machine_check_poll() is used to decide whether
storms have subsided or not.

After 32-bit syscall rewrite, and specifically after commit:
5f310f739b4c ("x86/entry/32: Re-implement SYSENTER using the new C path")
... the stack frame that is passed to xen_sysexit is no longer a
"standard" one (i.e. it's not pt_regs).
Since we end up calling xen_iret from xen_sysexit we don't need
to fix up the stack and instead follow entry_SYSENTER_32's IRET
path directly to xen_iret.
We can do the same thing for compat mode even though stack does
not need to be fixed. This will allow us to drop usergs_sysret32
paravirt op (in the subsequent patch)

The unlock function in queued spinlocks was optimized for better
performance on bare metal systems at the expense of virtualized guests.
For x86-64 systems, the unlock call needs to go through a
PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK() which saves and restores 8 64-bit
registers before calling the real __pv_queued_spin_unlock()
function. The thunk code may also be in a separate cacheline from
__pv_queued_spin_unlock().
This patch optimizes the PV unlock code path by:
1) Moving the unlock slowpath code from the fastpath into a separate
__pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() function to make the fastpath
as simple as possible..
2) For x86-64, hand-coded an assembly function to combine the register
saving thunk code with the fastpath code. Only registers that
are used in the fastpath will be saved and restored. If the
fastpath fails, the slowpath function will be called via another
PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK(). For 32-bit, it falls back to the C
__pv_queued_spin_unlock() code as the thunk saves and restores
only one 32-bit register.
With a microbenchmark of 5M lock-unlock loop, the table below shows
the execution times before and after the patch with different number
of threads in a VM running on a 32-core Westmere-EX box with x86-64

The earlier constraint fix for Broadwell CYCLE_ACTIVITY.*
forced umask 8 to counter 2. For this it used UEVENT,
to match the complete umask.
The event list for Broadwell has an additional
STALLS_L1D_PENDIND event that uses umask 8, but also
sets other bits in the umask. The earlier strict umask match
didn't handle this case.
Add a new UBIT_EVENT constraint macro that only matches
the specified bits in the umask. Then use that macro
to handle CYCLE_ACTIVITY.* on Broadwell.
The documented event also uses cmask, but there's no
need to let the event scheduler know about the cmask,
as the scheduling restriction is only tied to the umask.

This patch stops Intel PT logging and saves its registers in memory
before kdump is started. This feature is needed to prevent Intel PT from
overwriting its log buffer after panic, and saved registers are needed to
find the last position where Intel PT wrote data.
After the crash dump is captured by kdump, users can retrieve the log buffer
from the vmcore and use it to investigate bad kernel behavior.

This patch add a function for external components to stop Intel PT.
Basically this function is used when kernel panic occurs. When it is
called, the intel_pt driver disables Intel PT and saves its registers
using pt_event_stop(), which is also used by pmu.stop handler.
This function stops Intel PT on the CPU where it is working, therefore
users of it need to call it for each CPU to stop all logging.

With LBRv5 reading the extra LBR flags like mispredict, TSX, cycles is
not free anymore, as it has moved to a separate MSR.
For callstack mode we don't need any of this information; so we can
avoid the unnecessary MSR read. Add flags to the perf interface where
perf record can request not collecting this information.
Add branch_sample_type flags for CYCLES and FLAGS. It's a bit unusual
for branch_sample_types to be negative (disable), not positive (enable),
but since the legacy ABI reported the flags we need some form of
explicit disabling to avoid breaking the ABI.
After we have the flags the x86 perf code can keep track if any users
need the flags. If noone needs it the information is not collected.
This cuts down the cost of LBR callstack on Skylake significantly.
Profiling a kernel build with LBR call stack the average run time of
the PMI handler drops by 43%.

Change the perf user stack walking to use the new
__copy_from_user_nmi(), and split each access into word sized transfer
sizes. This allows to inline the complete access and optimize it all
into a single load.
The main advantage is that this avoids the overhead of double page
faults. When normal copy_from_user() fails it reexecutes the copy to
compute an accurate number of non copied bytes. This leads to
executing the expensive page fault twice.
While walking stacks having a fault at some point is relatively common
(typically when some part of the program isn't compiled with frame
pointers), so this is a large overhead.
With the optimized copies we avoid this problem because they only do
all accesses once. And of course they're much faster too when the
access does not fault because they're just single instructions instead
of complex function calls.
While profiling a kernel build with -g, the patch brings down the
average time of the PMI handler from 966ns to 552ns (-43%).
