Andrew Jones <ajones@ventanamicro.com> says: When the Zicboz extension is available we can more rapidly zero naturally aligned Zicboz block sized chunks of memory. As pages are always page aligned and are larger than any Zicboz block size will be, then clear_page() appears to be a good candidate for the extension. While cycle count and energy consumption should also be considered, we can be pretty certain that implementing clear_page() with the Zicboz extension is a win by comparing the new dynamic instruction count with its current count[1]. Doing so we see that the new count is just over a quarter of the old count (see patch6's commit message for more details). For those of you who reviewed v1[2], you may be looking for the memset() patches. As pointed out in v1, and a couple follow-up emails, it's not clear that patching memset() is a win yet. When I get a chance to test on real hardware with a comprehensive benchmark collection then I can post the memset() patches separately (assuming the benchmarks show it's worthwhile). * b4-shazam-merge: RISC-V: KVM: Expose Zicboz to the guest RISC-V: KVM: Provide UAPI for Zicboz block size RISC-V: Use Zicboz in clear_page when available RISC-V: cpufeatures: Put the upper 16 bits of patch ID to work RISC-V: Add Zicboz detection and block size parsing dt-bindings: riscv: Document cboz-block-size RISC-V: Factor out body of riscv_init_cbom_blocksize loop RISC-V: alternatives: Support patching multiple insns in assembly Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230224162631.405473-1-ajones@ventanamicro.comSigned-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>

We're about to allow guests to use the Zicboz extension. KVM userspace needs to know the cache block size in order to properly advertise it to the guest. Provide a virtual config register for userspace to get it with the GET_ONE_REG API, but setting it cannot be supported, so disallow SET_ONE_REG.

Using memset() to zero a 4K page takes 563 total instructions, where 20 are branches. clear_page(), with Zicboz and a 64 byte block size, takes 169 total instructions, where 4 are branches and 33 are nops. Even though the block size is a variable, thanks to alternatives, we can still implement a Duff device without having to do any preliminary calculations. This is achieved by using the alternatives' cpufeature value (the upper 16 bits of patch_id). The value used is the maximum zicboz block size order accepted at the patch site. This enables us to stop patching / unrolling when 4K bytes have been zeroed (we would loop and continue after 4K if the page size would be larger) For 4K pages, unrolling 16 times allows block sizes of 64 and 128 to only loop a few times and larger block sizes to not loop at all. Since cbo.zero doesn't take an offset, we also need an 'add' after each instruction, making the loop body 112 to 160 bytes. Hopefully this is small enough to not cause icache misses.

cpufeature IDs are consecutive integers starting at 26, so a 32-bit patch ID allows an aircraft carrier load of feature IDs. Repurposing the upper 16 bits still leaves a boat load of feature IDs and gains 16 bits which may be used to control patching on a per patch-site basis. This will be initially used in Zicboz's application to clear_page(), as Zicboz's block size must also be considered. In that case, the upper 16-bit value's role will be to convey the maximum block size which the Zicboz clear_page() implementation supports. cpufeature patch sites which need to check for the existence or absence of other cpufeatures may also be able to make use of this.

The Zicboz operation (cbo.zero) operates on a block-size defined for the cpu-core. While we already have the riscv,cbom-block-size property, it only provides the block size for Zicbom operations. Even though it's likely Zicboz and Zicbom will use the same size, that's not required by the specification. Create another property specifically for Zicboz.

Add one alternative to enable/disable svnapot support, enable this static key when "svnapot" is in the "riscv,isa" field of fdt and SVNAPOT compile option is set. It will influence the behavior of has_svnapot. All code dependent on svnapot should make sure that has_svnapot return true firstly. Modify PTE definition for Svnapot, and creates some functions in pgtable.h to mark a PTE as napot and check if it is a Svnapot PTE. Until now, only 64KB napot size is supported in spec, so some macros has only 64KB version.

Commit aa47a7c2 ("lib/cpumask: deprecate nr_cpumask_bits") resulted in the cpumask operations potentially becoming hugely less efficient, because suddenly the cpumask was always considered to be variable-sized. The optimization was then later added back in a limited form by commit 6f9c07be ("lib/cpumask: add FORCE_NR_CPUS config option"), but that FORCE_NR_CPUS option is not useful in a generic kernel and more of a special case for embedded situations with fixed hardware. Instead, just re-introduce the optimization, with some changes. Instead of depending on CPUMASK_OFFSTACK being false, and then always using the full constant cpumask width, this introduces three different cpumask "sizes": - the exact size (nr_cpumask_bits) remains identical to nr_cpu_ids. This is used for situations where we should use the exact size. - the "small" size (small_cpumask_bits) is the NR_CPUS constant if it fits in a single word and the bitmap operations thus end up able to trigger the "small_const_nbits()" optimizations. This is used for the operations that have optimized single-word cases that get inlined, notably the bit find and scanning functions. - the "large" size (large_cpumask_bits) is the NR_CPUS constant if it is an sufficiently small constant that makes simple "copy" and "clear" operations more efficient. This is arbitrarily set at four words or less. As a an example of this situation, without this fixed size optimization, cpumask_clear() will generate code like movl nr_cpu_ids(%rip), %edx addq $63, %rdx shrq $3, %rdx andl $-8, %edx callq memset@PLT on x86-64, because it would calculate the "exact" number of longwords that need to be cleared. In contrast, with this patch, using a MAX_CPU of 64 (which is quite a reasonable value to use), the above becomes a single movq $0,cpumask instruction instead, because instead of caring to figure out exactly how many CPU's the system has, it just knows that the cpumask will be a single word and can just clear it all. Note that this does end up tightening the rules a bit from the original version in another way: operations that set bits in the cpumask are now limited to the actual nr_cpu_ids limit, whereas we used to do the nr_cpumask_bits thing almost everywhere in the cpumask code. But if you just clear bits, or scan for bits, we can use the simpler compile-time constants. In the process, remove 'cpumask_complement()' and 'for_each_cpu_not()' which were not useful, and which fundamentally have to be limited to 'nr_cpu_ids'. Better remove them now than have somebody introduce use of them later. Of course, on x86-64 with MAXSMP there is no sane small compile-time constant for the cpumask sizes, and we end up using the actual CPU bits, and will generate the above kind of horrors regardless. Please don't use MAXSMP unless you really expect to have machines with thousands of cores. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The migration code ends up temporarily stashing information of the wrong type in unused fields of the newly allocated destination folio. That all works fine, but gcc does complain about the pointer type mis-use: mm/migrate.c: In function ‘__migrate_folio_extract’: mm/migrate.c:1050:20: note: randstruct: casting between randomized structure pointer types (ssa): ‘struct anon_vma’ and ‘struct address_space’ 1050 | *anon_vmap = (void *)dst->mapping; | ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ and gcc is actually right to complain since it really doesn't understand that this is a very temporary special case where this is ok. This could be fixed in different ways by just obfuscating the assignment sufficiently that gcc doesn't see what is going on, but the truly "proper C" way to do this is by explicitly using a union. Using unions for type conversions like this is normally hugely ugly and syntactically nasty, but this really is one of the few cases where we want to make it clear that we're not doing type conversion, we're really re-using the value bit-for-bit just using another type. IOW, this should not become a common pattern, but in this one case using that odd union is probably the best way to document to the compiler what is conceptually going on here. [ Side note: there are valid cases where we convert pointers to other pointer types, notably the whole "folio vs page" situation, where the types actually have fundamental commonalities. The fact that the gcc note is limited to just randomized structures means that we don't see equivalent warnings for those cases, but it migth also mean that we miss other cases where we do play these kinds of dodgy games, and this kind of explicit conversion might be a good idea. ] I verified that at least for an allmodconfig build on x86-64, this generates the exact same code, apart from line numbers and assembler comment changes.

The usermodehelper code uses two fake pointers for the two capability cases: CAP_BSET for reading and writing 'usermodehelper_bset', and CAP_PI to read and write 'usermodehelper_inheritable'. This seems to be a completely unnecessary indirection, since we could instead just use the pointers themselves, and never have to do any "if this then that" kind of logic. So just get rid of the fake pointer values, and use the real pointer values instead.
