We want to expose the pvclock shared memory areas, which the hypervisor periodically updates, to userspace. For a linear mapping from userspace, it is necessary that entire page sized regions are used for array of pvclock structures. There is no such guarantee with per cpu areas, therefore move to memblock_alloc based allocation. Acked-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

This fixes an error in the inline asm in try_lock_hpte() where we were erroneously using a register number as an immediate operand. The bug only affects an error path, and in fact the code will still work as long as the compiler chooses some register other than r0 for the "bits" variable. Nevertheless it should still be fixed.

Commit 55b665b0 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a way for userspace to get/set per-vCPU areas") includes a check on the length of the dispatch trace log (DTL) to make sure the buffer is at least one entry long. This is appropriate when registering a buffer, but the interface also allows for any existing buffer to be unregistered by specifying a zero address. In this case the length check is not appropriate. This makes the check conditional on the address being non-zero. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Currently the code that accounts stolen time tends to overestimate the stolen time, and will sometimes report more stolen time in a DTL (dispatch trace log) entry than has elapsed since the last DTL entry. This can cause guests to underflow the user or system time measured for some tasks, leading to ridiculous CPU percentages and total runtimes being reported by top and other utilities. In addition, the current code was designed for the previous policy where a vcore would only run when all the vcpus in it were runnable, and so only counted stolen time on a per-vcore basis. Now that a vcore can run while some of the vcpus in it are doing other things in the kernel (e.g. handling a page fault), we need to count the time when a vcpu task is preempted while it is not running as part of a vcore as stolen also. To do this, we bring back the BUSY_IN_HOST vcpu state and extend the vcpu_load/put functions to count preemption time while the vcpu is in that state. Handling the transitions between the RUNNING and BUSY_IN_HOST states requires checking and updating two variables (accumulated time stolen and time last preempted), so we add a new spinlock, vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock. This protects both the per-vcpu stolen/preempt-time variables, and the per-vcore variables while this vcpu is running the vcore. Finally, we now don't count time spent in userspace as stolen time. The task could be executing in userspace on behalf of the vcpu, or it could be preempted, or the vcpu could be genuinely stopped. Since we have no way of dividing up the time between these cases, we don't count any of it as stolen. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Currently the Book3S HV code implements a policy on multi-threaded processors (i.e. POWER7) that requires all of the active vcpus in a virtual core to be ready to run before we run the virtual core. However, that causes problems on reset, because reset stops all vcpus except vcpu 0, and can also reduce throughput since all four threads in a virtual core have to wait whenever any one of them hits a hypervisor page fault. This relaxes the policy, allowing the virtual core to run as soon as any vcpu in it is runnable. With this, the KVMPPC_VCPU_STOPPED state and the KVMPPC_VCPU_BUSY_IN_HOST state have been combined into a single KVMPPC_VCPU_NOTREADY state, since we no longer need to distinguish between them.

If a thread in a virtual core becomes runnable while other threads in the same virtual core are already running in the guest, it is possible for the latecomer to join the others on the core without first pulling them all out of the guest. Currently this only happens rarely, when a vcpu is first started. This fixes some bugs and omissions in the code in this case. First, we need to check for VPA updates for the latecomer and make a DTL entry for it. Secondly, if it comes along while the master vcpu is doing a VPA update, we don't need to do anything since the master will pick it up in kvmppc_run_core. To handle this correctly we introduce a new vcore state, VCORE_STARTING. Thirdly, there is a race because we currently clear the hardware thread's hwthread_req before waiting to see it get to nap. A latecomer thread could have its hwthread_req cleared before it gets to test it, and therefore never increment the nap_count, leading to messages about wait_for_nap timeouts.

There were a few places where we were traversing the list of runnable threads in a virtual core, i.e. vc->runnable_threads, without holding the vcore spinlock. This extends the places where we hold the vcore spinlock to cover everywhere that we traverse that list. Since we possibly need to sleep inside kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault, this moves the call of it from kvmppc_handle_exit out to kvmppc_vcpu_run, where we don't hold the vcore lock. In kvmppc_vcore_blocked, we don't actually need to check whether all vcpus are ceded and don't have any pending exceptions, since the caller has already done that. The caller (kvmppc_run_vcpu) wasn't actually checking for pending exceptions, so we add that. The change of if to while in kvmppc_run_vcpu is to make sure that we never call kvmppc_remove_runnable() when the vcore state is RUNNING or EXITING.

Subsequent patches implementing in-kernel XICS emulation will make it possible for IPIs to arrive at secondary threads at arbitrary times. This fixes some races in how we start the secondary threads, which if not fixed could lead to occasional crashes of the host kernel. This makes sure that (a) we have grabbed all the secondary threads, and verified that they are no longer in the kernel, before we start any thread, (b) that the secondary thread loads its vcpu pointer after clearing the IPI that woke it up (so we don't miss a wakeup), and (c) that the secondary thread clears its vcpu pointer before incrementing the nap count. It also removes unnecessary setting of the vcpu and vcore pointers in the paca in kvmppc_core_vcpu_load. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

When a Book3S HV KVM guest is running, we need the host to be in single-thread mode, that is, all of the cores (or at least all of the cores where the KVM guest could run) to be running only one active hardware thread. This is because of the hardware restriction in POWER processors that all of the hardware threads in the core must be in the same logical partition. Complying with this restriction is much easier if, from the host kernel's point of view, only one hardware thread is active. This adds two hooks in the SMP hotplug code to allow the KVM code to make sure that secondary threads (i.e. hardware threads other than thread 0) cannot come online while any KVM guest exists. The KVM code still has to check that any core where it runs a guest has the secondary threads offline, but having done that check it can now be sure that they will not come online while the guest is running.

Arbitrarily selecting GPIOLIB causes trouble on some architectures, so don't do that. Instead, just make the optional multiplexing code depend on CONFIG_I2C_MUX_GPIO instead of CONFIG_I2C_MUX for now. We can revisit if the i2c-i801 driver ever supports other multiplexing flavors. Also make that optional code depend on DMI, as it won't do anything without that. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com>

Use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched / synchronize_sched instead of rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock / synchronize_rcu. This is an optimization. The RCU-protected region is very small, so there will be no latency problems if we disable preempt in this region. So we use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched that translates to preempt_disable / preempt_disable. It is smaller (and supposedly faster) than preemptible rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock.
