commit a78986aae9b2988f8493f9f65a587ee433e83bc3 upstream.

Explicitly exempt ZONE_DEVICE pages from kvm_is_reserved_pfn() and
instead manually handle ZONE_DEVICE on a case-by-case basis.  For things
like page refcounts, KVM needs to treat ZONE_DEVICE pages like normal
pages, e.g. put pages grabbed via gup().  But for flows such as setting
A/D bits or shifting refcounts for transparent huge pages, KVM needs to
to avoid processing ZONE_DEVICE pages as the flows in question lack the
underlying machinery for proper handling of ZONE_DEVICE pages.

This fixes a hang reported by Adam Borowski[*] in dev_pagemap_cleanup()
when running a KVM guest backed with /dev/dax memory, as KVM straight up
doesn't put any references to ZONE_DEVICE pages acquired by gup().

Note, Dan Williams proposed an alternative solution of doing put_page()
on ZONE_DEVICE pages immediately after gup() in order to simplify the
auditing needed to ensure is_zone_device_page() is called if and only if
the backing device is pinned (via gup()).  But that approach would break
kvm_vcpu_{un}map() as KVM requires the page to be pinned from map() 'til
unmap() when accessing guest memory, unlike KVM's secondary MMU, which
coordinates with mmu_notifier invalidations to avoid creating stale
page references, i.e. doesn't rely on pages being pinned.

commit c57c80467f90e5504c8df9ad3555d2c78800bf94 upstream.

Add a function to create a kernel thread associated with a given VM. In
particular, it ensures that the worker thread inherits the priority and
cgroups of the calling thread.

commit 0d9ce162cf46c99628cc5da9510b959c7976735b upstream.

It doesn't seem as if there is any particular need for kvm_lock to be a
spinlock, so convert the lock to a mutex so that sleepable functions (in
particular cond_resched()) can be called while holding it.

commit 833b45de69a6016c4b0cebe6765d526a31a81580 upstream.

The largepages debugfs entry is incremented/decremented as shadow
pages are created or destroyed.  Clearing it will result in an
underflow, which is harmless to KVM but ugly (and could be
misinterpreted by tools that use debugfs information), so make
this particular statistic read-only.

commit 17e433b54393a6269acbcb792da97791fe1592d8 upstream.

After commit d73eb57b80b (KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts), a
five years old bug is exposed. Running ebizzy benchmark in three 80 vCPUs VMs
on one 80 pCPUs Skylake server, a lot of rcu_sched stall warning splatting
in the VMs after stress testing:

 INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 4 41 57 62 77} (detected by 15, t=60004 jiffies, g=899, c=898, q=15073)
 Call Trace:
   flush_tlb_mm_range+0x68/0x140
   tlb_flush_mmu.part.75+0x37/0xe0
   tlb_finish_mmu+0x55/0x60
   zap_page_range+0x142/0x190
   SyS_madvise+0x3cd/0x9c0
   system_call_fastpath+0x1c/0x21

swait_active() sustains to be true before finish_swait() is called in
kvm_vcpu_block(), voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken into account
by kvm_vcpu_on_spin() loop greatly increases the probability condition
kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable(vcpu) is checked and can be true, when APICv
is enabled the yield-candidate vCPU's VMCS RVI field leaks(by
vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()) into spinning-on-a-taken-lock vCPU's current
VMCS.

This patch fixes it by checking conservatively a subset of events.

<title>KVM: Call kvm_arch_memslots_updated() before updating memslots</title>

commit 152482580a1b0accb60676063a1ac57b2d12daf6 upstream.

kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is at this point in time an x86-specific
hook for handling MMIO generation wraparound.  x86 stashes 19 bits of
the memslots generation number in its MMIO sptes in order to avoid
full page fault walks for repeat faults on emulated MMIO addresses.
Because only 19 bits are used, wrapping the MMIO generation number is
possible, if unlikely.  kvm_arch_memslots_updated() alerts x86 that
the generation has changed so that it can invalidate all MMIO sptes in
case the effective MMIO generation has wrapped so as to avoid using a
stale spte, e.g. a (very) old spte that was created with generation==0.

Given that the purpose of kvm_arch_memslots_updated() is to prevent
consuming stale entries, it needs to be called before the new generation
is propagated to memslots.  Invalidating the MMIO sptes after updating
memslots means that there is a window where a vCPU could dereference
the new memslots generation, e.g. 0, and incorrectly reuse an old MMIO
spte that was created with (pre-wrap) generation==0.

[ Upstream commit 7a86dab8cf2f0fdf508f3555dddfc236623bff60 ]

Since the offset is added directly to the hva from the
gfn_to_hva_cache, a negative offset could result in an out of bounds
write. The existing BUG_ON only checks for addresses beyond the end of
the gfn_to_hva_cache, not for addresses before the start of the
gfn_to_hva_cache.

Note that all current call sites have non-negative offsets.

gfn_to_hva_cache.

Note that all current call sites have non-negative offsets.

<title>x86,kvm: move qemu/guest FPU switching out to vcpu_run</title>

commit f775b13eedee2f7f3c6fdd4e90fb79090ce5d339 upstream.

Currently, every time a VCPU is scheduled out, the host kernel will
first save the guest FPU/xstate context, then load the qemu userspace
FPU context, only to then immediately save the qemu userspace FPU
context back to memory. When scheduling in a VCPU, the same extraneous
FPU loads and saves are done.

This could be avoided by moving from a model where the guest FPU is
loaded and stored with preemption disabled, to a model where the
qemu userspace FPU is swapped out for the guest FPU context for
the duration of the KVM_RUN ioctl.

This is done under the VCPU mutex, which is also taken when other
tasks inspect the VCPU FPU context, so the code should already be
safe for this change. That should come as no surprise, given that
s390 already has this optimization.

This can fix a bug where KVM calls get_user_pages while owning the
FPU, and the file system ends up requesting the FPU again:

order of 20us, and somewhat noisy.

<title>KVM: Extend MAX_IRQ_ROUTES to 4096 for all archs</title>

[ Upstream commit ddc9cfb79c1096a0855839631c091aa7e9602052 ]

Our virtual machines make use of device assignment by configuring
12 NVMe disks for high I/O performance. Each NVMe device has 129
MSI-X Table entries:
Capabilities: [50] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=129 Masked-Vector table: BAR=0 offset=00002000
The windows virtual machines fail to boot since they will map the number of
MSI-table entries that the NVMe hardware reported to the bus to msi routing
table, this will exceed the 1024. This patch extends MAX_IRQ_ROUTES to 4096
for all archs, in the future this might be extended again if needed.
