KVM: MMU: Do not treat ZONE_DEVICE pages as being reserved

2019-11-12T09:17:42+00:00

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.

kvm: Add helper function for creating VM worker threads

2019-11-04T11:22:02+00:00

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.

kvm: x86, powerpc: do not allow clearing largepages debugfs entry

2019-09-30T16:52:00+00:00

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.

KVM: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions

2019-08-05T10:55:49+00:00

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

Also, when doing this, change kvm_arch_create_vcpu_debugfs() to return
void instead of an integer, as we should not care at all about if this
function actually does anything or not.

KVM: remove kvm_arch_has_vcpu_debugfs()

2019-08-05T10:55:48+00:00

There is no need for this function as all arches have to implement
kvm_arch_create_vcpu_debugfs() no matter what.  A #define symbol
let us actually simplify the code.

KVM: Fix leak vCPU's VMCS value into other pCPU

2019-08-05T10:55:47+00:00

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)

   zap_page_range+0x142/0x190

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.

KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts

2019-07-20T07:00:45+00:00

Inspired by commit 9cac38dd5d (KVM/s390: Set preempted flag during
vcpu wakeup and interrupt delivery), we want to also boost not just
lock holders but also vCPUs that are delivering interrupts. Most
smp_call_function_many calls are synchronous, so the IPI target vCPUs
are also good yield candidates.  This patch introduces vcpu->ready to
boost vCPUs during wakeup and interrupt delivery time; unlike s390 we do
not reuse vcpu->preempted so that voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken
into account by kvm_vcpu_on_spin, but vmx_vcpu_pi_put is not affected
(VT-d PI handles voluntary preemption separately, in pi_pre_block).

Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM:
ebizzy -M

kvm: x86: Fix -Wmissing-prototypes warnings

2019-07-10T14:35:58+00:00

We get a warning when build kernel W=1:

arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/eventfd.c:48:1: warning: no previous prototype for ‘kvm_arch_irqfd_allowed’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
 kvm_arch_irqfd_allowed(struct kvm *kvm, struct kvm_irqfd *args)
 ^

The reason is kvm_arch_irqfd_allowed() is declared in arch/x86/kvm/irq.h,
which is not included by eventfd.c. Considering kvm_arch_irqfd_allowed()
is a weakly defined function in eventfd.c, remove the declaration to
kvm_host.h can fix this.
