Paravirt spinlock clears slowpath flag after doing unlock.
As explained by Linus currently it does:
prev = *lock;
add_smp(&lock->tickets.head, TICKET_LOCK_INC);
/* add_smp() is a full mb() */
if (unlikely(lock->tickets.tail & TICKET_SLOWPATH_FLAG))
__ticket_unlock_slowpath(lock, prev);
which is *exactly* the kind of things you cannot do with spinlocks,
because after you've done the "add_smp()" and released the spinlock
for the fast-path, you can't access the spinlock any more. Exactly
because a fast-path lock might come in, and release the whole data
structure.
Linus suggested that we should not do any writes to lock after unlock(),
and we can move slowpath clearing to fastpath lock.
So this patch implements the fix with:
1. Moving slowpath flag to head (Oleg):
Unlocked locks don't care about the slowpath flag; therefore we can keep
it set after the last unlock, and clear it again on the first (try)lock.
-- this removes the write after unlock. note that keeping slowpath flag would
result in unnecessary kicks.
By moving the slowpath flag from the tail to the head ticket we also avoid
the need to access both the head and tail tickets on unlock.
2. use xadd to avoid read/write after unlock that checks the need for
unlock_kick (Linus):
We further avoid the need for a read-after-release by using xadd;
the prev head value will include the slowpath flag and indicate if we
need to do PV kicking of suspended spinners -- on modern chips xadd
isn't (much) more expensive than an add + load.

paravirt_enabled has the following effects:
- Disables the F00F bug workaround warning. There is no F00F bug
workaround any more because Linux's standard IDT handling already
works around the F00F bug, but the warning still exists. This
is only cosmetic, and, in any event, there is no such thing as
KVM on a CPU with the F00F bug.
- Disables 32-bit APM BIOS detection. On a KVM paravirt system,
there should be no APM BIOS anyway.
- Disables tboot. I think that the tboot code should check the
CPUID hypervisor bit directly if it matters.
- paravirt_enabled disables espfix32. espfix32 should *not* be
disabled under KVM paravirt.
The last point is the purpose of this patch. It fixes a leak of the
high 16 bits of the kernel stack address on 32-bit KVM paravirt
guests. Fixes CVE-2014-8134.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

I noticed on some of my systems that page fault tracing doesn't
work:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo 1 > events/exceptions/enable
cat trace;
# nothing shows up
I eventually traced it down to CONFIG_KVM_GUEST. At least in a
KVM VM, enabling that option breaks page fault tracing, and
disabling fixes it. I tried on some old kernels and this does
not appear to be a regression: it never worked.
There are two page-fault entry functions today. One when tracing
is on and another when it is off. The KVM code calls do_page_fault()
directly instead of calling the traced version:
> dotraplinkage void __kprobes
> do_async_page_fault(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long
> error_code)
> {
> enum ctx_state prev_state;
>
> switch (kvm_read_and_reset_pf_reason()) {
> default:
> do_page_fault(regs, error_code);
> break;
> case KVM_PV_REASON_PAGE_NOT_PRESENT:
I'm also having problems with the page fault tracing on bare
metal (same symptom of no trace output). I'm unsure if it's
related.
Steven had an alternative to this which has zero overhead when
tracing is off where this includes the standard noops even when
tracing is disabled. I'm unconvinced that the extra complexity
of his apporach:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140508194508.561ed220@gandalf.local.home
is worth it, expecially considering that the KVM code is already
making page fault entry slower here. This solution is
dirt-simple.

Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL macro for protecting functions
from kprobes instead of __kprobes annotation under
arch/x86.
This applies nokprobe_inline annotation for some cases,
because NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() will inhibit inlining by
referring the symbol address.
This just folds a bunch of previous NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()
cleanup patches for x86 to one patch.

When Hyper-V hypervisor leaves are present, KVM must relocate
its own leaves at 0x40000100, because Windows does not look for
Hyper-V leaves at indices other than 0x40000000. In this case,
the KVM features are at 0x40000101, but the old code would always
look at 0x40000001.
Fix by using kvm_cpuid_base(). This also requires making the
function non-inline, since kvm_cpuid_base() is static.

We try to handle the hypervisor compatibility mode by detecting hypervisor
through a specific order. This is not robust, since hypervisors may implement
each others features.
This patch tries to handle this situation by always choosing the last one in the
CPUID leaves. This is done by letting .detect() return a priority instead of
true/false and just re-using the CPUID leaf where the signature were found as
the priority (or 1 if it was found by DMI). Then we can just pick hypervisor who
has the highest priority. Other sophisticated detection method could also be
implemented on top.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on
the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as
stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode.
However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through
user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace.
If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly
exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore
it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs).
As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking
state.
To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state
prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores
the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame.
(May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so,
sorry for the missing credit).

Exceptions handling on context tracking should share common
treatment: on entry we exit user mode if the exception triggered
in that context. Then on exception exit we return to that previous
context.
Generalize this to avoid duplication across archs.

Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
one would like.
The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how
much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.
This has several advantages:
1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
early in the kernel startup).
2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large
systems.
3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.
The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.
Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
__phys_addr()/__pa()."

In short, it is illegal to call __pa() on an address holding
a percpu variable. This replaces those __pa() calls with
slow_virt_to_phys(). All of the cases in this patch are
in boot time (or CPU hotplug time at worst) code, so the
slow pagetable walking in slow_virt_to_phys() is not expected
to have a performance impact.
The times when this actually matters are pretty obscure
(certain 32-bit NUMA systems), but it _does_ happen. It is
important to keep KVM guests working on these systems because
the real hardware is getting harder and harder to find.
This bug manifested first by me seeing a plain hang at boot
after this message:
CPU 0 irqstacks, hard=f3018000 soft=f301a000
or, sometimes, it would actually make it out to the console:
[ 0.000000] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff
I eventually traced it down to the KVM async pagefault code.
This can be worked around by disabling that code either at
compile-time, or on the kernel command-line.
The kvm async pagefault code was injecting page faults in
to the guest which the guest misinterpreted because its
"reason" was not being properly sent from the host.
The guest passes a physical address of an per-cpu async page
fault structure via an MSR to the host. Since __pa() is
broken on percpu data, the physical address it sent was
bascially bogus and the host went scribbling on random data.
The guest never saw the real reason for the page fault (it
was injected by the host), assumed that the kernel had taken
a _real_ page fault, and panic()'d. The behavior varied,
though, depending on what got corrupted by the bad write.

This patch updates x2apic initializaition code to allow x2apic
on VMware platform even without interrupt remapping support.
The hypervisor_x2apic_available hook was added in x2apic
initialization code and used by KVM and XEN, before this.
I have also cleaned up that code to export this hook through the
hypervisor_x86 structure.
Compile tested for KVM and XEN configs, this patch doesn't have
any functional effect on those two platforms.
On VMware platform, verified that x2apic is used in physical
mode on products that support this.

This patch adds user eqs exception hooks for async page fault page not
present code path, to exit the user eqs and re-enter it as necessary.
Async page fault is different from other exceptions that it may be
triggered from idle process, so we still need rcu_irq_enter() and
rcu_irq_exit() to exit cpu idle eqs when needed, to protect the code
that needs use rcu.
As Frederic pointed out it would be safest and simplest to protect the
whole kvm_async_pf_task_wait(). Otherwise, "we need to check all the
code there deeply for potential RCU uses and ensure it will never be
extended later to use RCU.".
However, We'd better re-enter the cpu idle eqs if we get the exception
in cpu idle eqs, by calling rcu_irq_exit() before native_safe_halt().
So the patch does what Frederic suggested for rcu_irq_*() API usage
here, except that I moved the rcu_irq_*() pair originally in
do_async_page_fault() into kvm_async_pf_task_wait().
That's because, I think it's better to have rcu_irq_*() pairs to be in
one function ( rcu_irq_exit() after rcu_irq_enter() ), especially here,
kvm_async_pf_task_wait() has other callers, which might cause
rcu_irq_exit() be called without a matching rcu_irq_enter() before it,
which is illegal if the cpu happens to be in rcu idle state.

As Frederic pointed idle_cpu() may return false even if async fault
happened in the idle task if wake up is pending. In this case the code
will try to put idle task to sleep. Fix this by using is_idle_task() to
check for idle task.

While debugging I noticed that unlike all the other hypervisor code in the
kernel, kvm does not have an entry for x86_hyper which is used in
detect_hypervisor_platform() which results in a nice printk in the

does make kvm more consistent with the other hypervisors.

The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory,
that tells the guest that it does not need EOI.
Guest tests it using a single est and clear operation - this is
necessary so that host can detect interrupt nesting - and if set, it can
skip the EOI MSR.
I run a simple microbenchmark to show exit reduction
(note: for testing, need to apply follow-up patch
'kvm: host side for eoi optimization' + a qemu patch
I posted separately, on host):

It turned to be totally unneeded. The reason the code was introduced is
so that KVM can prefault swapped in page, but prefault can fail even
if mm is pinned since page table can change anyway. KVM handles this
situation correctly though and does not inject spurious page faults.
Fixes:

static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()
So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
Typical usage scenarios:
#include <linux/static_key.h>
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
Or:
if (static_key_true(&key))
do likely code
else
do unlikely code
The static key is modified via:
static_key_slow_inc(&key);
...
static_key_slow_dec(&key);
The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.
I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

This patch implements the kvm bits of the steal time infrastructure.
The most important part of it, is the steal time clock. It is an
continuous clock that shows the accumulated amount of steal time
since vcpu creation. It is supposed to survive cpu offlining/onlining.

WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.text+0x1bb74): Section mismatch in reference from the function kvm_guest_cpu_online() to the function .cpuinit.text:kvm_guest_cpu_init()
The function kvm_guest_cpu_online() references
the function __cpuinit kvm_guest_cpu_init().
This is often because kvm_guest_cpu_online lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of kvm_guest_cpu_init is wrong.
This patch fixes the warning.

If guest can detect that it runs in non-preemptable context it can
handle async PFs at any time, so let host know that it can send async
PF even if guest cpu is not in userspace.

If async page fault is received by idle task or when preemp_count is
not zero guest cannot reschedule, so do sti; hlt and wait for page to be
ready. vcpu can still process interrupts while it waits for the page to
be ready.

When async PF capability is detected hook up special page fault handler
that will handle async page fault events and bypass other page faults to
regular page fault handler. Also add async PF handling to nested SVM
emulation. Async PF always generates exit to L1 where vcpu thread will
be scheduled out until page is available.

Commit b8bcfe997e4 made paravirt pte updates synchronous in interrupt
context.
Unfortunately the KVM pv mmu code caches the lazy/nonlazy mode
internally, so a pte update from interrupt context during a lazy mmu
operation can be batched while it should be performed synchronously.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518022
Drop the internal mode variable and use paravirt_get_lazy_mode(), which
returns the correct state.

The function paravirt_ops_setup() has been refering the
variable no_timer_check, which is a __initdata. Thus generates
the following warning. paravirt_ops_setup() function is called
from kvm_guest_init() which is a __init function. So to fix
this we mark paravirt_ops_setup as __init.
The sections-check output that warned us about this was:
LD arch/x86/built-in.o
WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.text+0x166ce): Section mismatch in
reference from the function paravirt_ops_setup() to the variable
.init.data:no_timer_check
The function paravirt_ops_setup() references
the variable __initdata no_timer_check.
This is often because paravirt_ops_setup lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of no_timer_check is wrong.
