      kvm: arm64: Enable hardware updates of the Access Flag for Stage 2 page tables · 06485053
      Catalin Marinas authored
      The ARMv8.1 architecture extensions introduce support for hardware
      updates of the access and dirty information in page table entries. With
      VTCR_EL2.HA enabled (bit 21), when the CPU accesses an IPA with the
      PTE_AF bit cleared in the stage 2 page table, instead of raising an
      Access Flag fault to EL2 the CPU sets the actual page table entry bit
      (10). To ensure that kernel modifications to the page table do not
      inadvertently revert a bit set by hardware updates, certain Stage 2
      software pte/pmd operations must be performed atomically.
      
      The main user of the AF bit is the kvm_age_hva() mechanism. The
      kvm_age_hva_handler() function performs a "test and clear young" action
      on the pte/pmd. This needs to be atomic in respect of automatic hardware
      updates of the AF bit. Since the AF bit is in the same position for both
      Stage 1 and Stage 2, the patch reuses the existing
      ptep_test_and_clear_young() functionality if
      __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG is defined. Otherwise, the
      existing pte_young/pte_mkold mechanism is preserved.
      
      The kvm_set_s2pte_readonly() (and the corresponding pmd equivalent) have
      to perform atomic modifications in order to avoid a race with updates of
      the AF bit. The arm64 implementation has been re-written using
      exclusives.
      
      Currently, kvm_set_s2pte_writable() (and pmd equivalent) take a pointer
      argument and modify the pte/pmd in place. However, these functions are
      only used on local variables rather than actual page table entries, so
      it makes more sense to follow the pte_mkwrite() approach for stage 1
      attributes. The change to kvm_s2pte_mkwrite() makes it clear that these
      functions do not modify the actual page table entries.
      
      The (pte|pmd)_mkyoung() uses on Stage 2 entries (setting the AF bit
      explicitly) do not need to be modified since hardware updates of the
      dirty status are not supported by KVM, so there is no possibility of
      losing such information.

      arm64: KVM: unregister notifiers in hyp mode teardown path · 06a71a24
      Sudeep Holla authored
      Commit 1e947bad ("arm64: KVM: Skip HYP setup when already running
      in HYP") re-organized the hyp init code and ended up leaving the CPU
      hotplug and PM notifier even if hyp mode initialization fails.
      
      Since KVM is not yet supported with ACPI, the above mentioned commit
      breaks CPU hotplug in ACPI boot.
      
      This patch fixes teardown_hyp_mode to properly unregister both CPU
      hotplug and PM notifiers in the teardown path.

      arm64: KVM: Warn when PARange is less than 40 bits · 6141570c
      Marc Zyngier authored
      We always thought that 40bits of PA range would be the minimum people
      would actually build. Anything less is terrifyingly small.
      
      Turns out that we were both right and wrong. Nobody has ever built
      such a system, but the ARM Foundation Model has a PARange set to 36bits.
      Just because we can. Oh well. Now, the KVM API explicitely says that
      we offer a 40bit PA space to the VM, so we shouldn't run KVM on
      the Foundation Model at all.
      
      That being said, this patch offers a less agressive alternative, and
      loudly warns about the configuration being unsupported. You'll still
      be able to run VMs (at your own risks, though).
      
      This is just a workaround until we have a proper userspace API where
      we report the PARange to userspace.

      KVM: arm/arm64: Handle forward time correction gracefully · 1c5631c7
      Marc Zyngier authored
      On a host that runs NTP, corrections can have a direct impact on
      the background timer that we program on the behalf of a vcpu.
      
      In particular, NTP performing a forward correction will result in
      a timer expiring sooner than expected from a guest point of view.
      Not a big deal, we kick the vcpu anyway.
      
      But on wake-up, the vcpu thread is going to perform a check to
      find out whether or not it should block. And at that point, the
      timer check is going to say "timer has not expired yet, go back
      to sleep". This results in the timer event being lost forever.
      
      There are multiple ways to handle this. One would be record that
      the timer has expired and let kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer return
      true in that case, but that would be fairly invasive. Another is
      to check for the "short sleep" condition in the hrtimer callback,
      and restart the timer for the remaining time when the condition
      is detected.
      
      This patch implements the latter, with a bit of refactoring in
      order to avoid too much code duplication.

      arm64: KVM: Add braces to multi-line if statement in virtual PMU code · 7d4bd1d2
      Will Deacon authored
      The kernel is written in C, not python, so we need braces around
      multi-line if statements. GCC 6 actually warns about this, thanks to the
      fantastic new "-Wmisleading-indentation" flag:
      
       | virt/kvm/arm/pmu.c: In function ‘kvm_pmu_overflow_status’:
       | virt/kvm/arm/pmu.c:198:3: warning: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Wmisleading-indentation]
       |    reg &= vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, PMCNTENSET_EL0);
       |    ^~~
       | arch/arm64/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/arm/pmu.c:196:2: note: ...this ‘if’ clause, but it is not
       |   if ((vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, PMCR_EL0) & ARMV8_PMU_PMCR_E))
       |   ^~
      
      As it turns out, this particular case is harmless (we just do some &=
      operations with 0), but worth fixing nonetheless.

      Pull orangefs filesystem from Mike Marshall.
      
      This finally merges the long-pending orangefs filesystem, which has been
      much cleaned up with input from Al Viro over the last six months.  From
      the documentation file:
      
       "OrangeFS is an LGPL userspace scale-out parallel storage system.  It
        is ideal for large storage problems faced by HPC, BigData, Streaming
        Video, Genomics, Bioinformatics.
      
        Orangefs, originally called PVFS, was first developed in 1993 by Walt
        Ligon and Eric Blumer as a parallel file system for Parallel Virtual
        Machine (PVM) as part of a NASA grant to study the I/O patterns of
        parallel programs.
      
        Orangefs features include:
      
          - Distributes file data among multiple file servers
          - Supports simultaneous access by multiple clients
          - Stores file data and metadata on servers using local file system
            and access methods
          - Userspace implementation is easy to install and maintain
          - Direct MPI support
          - Stateless"
