I was investigating an issue with seabios >= 1.10 which stopped working
for nested KVM on Hyper-V. The problem appears to be in
handle_ept_violation() function: when we do fast mmio we need to skip
the instruction so we do kvm_skip_emulated_instruction(). This, however,
depends on VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN field being set correctly in VMCS.
However, this is not the case.

Intel's manual doesn't mandate VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN to be set when
EPT MISCONFIG occurs. While on real hardware it was observed to be set,
some hypervisors follow the spec and don't set it; we end up advancing
IP with some random value.

I checked with Microsoft and they confirmed they don't fill
VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN on EPT MISCONFIG.

Fix the issue by doing instruction skip through emulator when running
nested.

All d-entries for vcpu have the same, "anon_inode:kvm-vcpu". That means
it is impossible to know the mapping between fds for vcpu and vcpu
from userland.

    # LC_ALL=C ls -l /proc/617/fd | grep vcpu
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 18 -> anon_inode:kvm-vcpu
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 19 -> anon_inode:kvm-vcpu

It is also impossible to know the mapping between vma for kvm_run
structure and vcpu from userland.

    # LC_ALL=C grep vcpu /proc/617/maps
    7f9d842d0000-7f9d842d3000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393                      anon_inode:kvm-vcpu

This change adds vcpu id to d-entries for vcpu. With this change
you can get the following output:

    # LC_ALL=C ls -l /proc/617/fd | grep vcpu
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 18 -> anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0
    lrwx------. 1 qemu qemu 64 Jan  7 16:50 19 -> anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:1

    # LC_ALL=C grep vcpu /proc/617/maps
    7f9d842d0000-7f9d842d3000 rw-s 00000000 00:0d 20393                      anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0

For EPT-violations that are triggered by a read, the pages are also mapped with
write permissions (if their memory region is also writable). That would avoid
getting yet another fault on the same page when a write occurs.

This optimization only happens when you have a "struct page" backing the memory
region. So also enable it for memory regions that do not have a "struct page".

KVM/ARM Changes for v4.16

The changes for this version include icache invalidation optimizations
(improving VM startup time), support for forwarded level-triggered
interrupts (improved performance for timers and passthrough platform
devices), a small fix for power-management notifiers, and some cosmetic
changes.

KVM: s390: update maintainers

The reenlightment support for hyperv slapped a direct reference to
x86_hyper_type into the kvm code which results in the following build
failure when CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST=n:

arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:6259:6: error: ‘x86_hyper_type’ undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:6259:6: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

Use the proper helper function to cure that.

The 32bit compile fails because of:

arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:5936:13: warning: ‘kvm_hyperv_tsc_notifier’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

which is a real trainwreck engineering artwork. The callsite is wrapped
into #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64, but the function itself has the #ifdef inside
the function body. Make the function itself wrapped into the ifdef to cure
that.

Qualiteee....

When I introduced a static key to avoid work in the critical path for
userspace irqchips which is very rarely used, I accidentally messed up
my logic and used && where I should have used ||, because the point was
to short-circuit the evaluation in case userspace irqchips weren't even
in use.

This fixes an issue when running in-kernel irqchip VMs alongside
userspace irqchip VMs.

After the recently introduced support for level-triggered mapped
interrupt, I accidentally left the VCPU thread busily going back and
forward between the guest and the hypervisor whenever the guest was
blocking, because I would always incorrectly report that a timer
interrupt was pending.

This is because the timer->irq.level field is not valid for mapped
interrupts, where we offload the level state to the hardware, and as a
result this field is always true.

Luckily the problem can be relatively easily solved by not checking the
cached signal state of either timer in kvm_timer_should_fire() but
instead compute the timer state on the fly, which we do already if the
cached signal state wasn't high.  In fact, the only reason for checking
the cached signal state was a tiny optimization which would only be
potentially faster when the polling loop detects a pending timer
interrupt, which is quite unlikely.

Instead of duplicating the logic from kvm_arch_timer_handler(), we
enlighten kvm_timer_should_fire() to report something valid when the
timer state is loaded onto the hardware.  We can then call this from
kvm_arch_timer_handler() as well and avoid the call to
__timer_snapshot_state() in kvm_arch_timer_get_input_level().

When running nested KVM on Hyper-V guests its required to update
masterclocks for all guests when L1 migrates to a host with different TSC
frequency.

Implement the procedure in the following way:
  - Pause all guests.
  - Tell the host (Hyper-V) to stop emulating TSC accesses.
  - Update the gtod copy, recompute clocks.
  - Unpause all guests.

This is somewhat similar to cpufreq but there are two important differences:
 - TSC emulation can only be disabled globally (on all CPUs)
 - The new TSC frequency is not known until emulation is turned off so
   there is no way to 'prepare' for the event upfront.

Currently, KVM is able to work in 'masterclock' mode passing
PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT to guests when the clocksource which is used on the
host is TSC.

When running nested on Hyper-V the guest normally uses a different one: TSC
page which is resistant to TSC frequency changes on events like L1
migration. Add support for it in KVM.

The only non-trivial change is in vgettsc(): when updating the gtod copy
both the clock readout and tsc value have to be updated now.

It is very unlikely for CPUs to get offlined when running on Hyper-V as
there is a protection in the vmbus module which prevents it when the guest
has any VMBus devices assigned. This, however, may change in future if an
option to reassign an already active channel will be added. It is also
possible to run without any Hyper-V devices or to have a CPU with no
assigned channels.

Reassign reenlightenment notifications to some other active CPU when the
CPU which is assigned to them goes offline.

Hyper-V supports Live Migration notification. This is supposed to be used
in conjunction with TSC emulation: when a VM is migrated to a host with
different TSC frequency for some short period the host emulates the
accesses to TSC and sends an interrupt to notify about the event. When the
guest is done updating everything it can disable TSC emulation and
everything will start working fast again.

These notifications weren't required until now as Hyper-V guests are not
supposed to use TSC as a clocksource: in Linux the TSC is even marked as
unstable on boot. Guests normally use 'tsc page' clocksource and host
updates its values on migrations automatically.

Things change when with nested virtualization: even when the PV
clocksources (kvm-clock or tsc page) are passed through to the nested
guests the TSC frequency and frequency changes need to be know..

Hyper-V Top Level Functional Specification (as of v5.0b) wrongly specifies
EAX:BIT(12) of CPUID:0x40000009 as the feature identification bit. The
right one to check is EAX:BIT(13) of CPUID:0x40000003. I was assured that
the fix in on the way.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes relate to making lock_is_held() et al (and external
  wrappers of them) work on const data types - this requires const
  propagation through the depths of lockdep.

  This removes a number of ugly type hacks the external helpers used"

     where feasible (currently everywhere except in kernel/rcu and in
     kernel/torture.c). Also a couple of fixes to avoid sending IPIs to
     offline CPUs.

   - Updates to simplify RCU's dyntick-idle handling.

   - Updates to remove almost all uses of smp_read_barrier_depends() and
     read_barrier_depends().

Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Another set of melted spectrum related changes:

   - Code simplifications and cleanups for RSB and retpolines.

   - Make the indirect calls in KVM speculation safe.

   - Whitelist CPUs which are known not to speculate from Meltdown and
     prepare for the new CPUID flag which tells the kernel that a CPU is
     not affected.

   - A less rigorous variant of the module retpoline check which merily
     warns when a non-retpoline protected module is loaded and reflects
     that fact in the sysfs file.

   - Prepare for Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier support.

   - Prepare for exposure of the Speculation Control MSRs to guests, so
     guest OSes which depend on those "features" can use them. Includes
     a blacklist of the broken microcodes. The actual exposure of the
     MSRs through KVM is still being worked on"

Pull x86 mm update from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A single patch which excludes the GART aperture from vmcore as
  accessing that area from a dump kernel can crash the kernel.

  Not necessarily the nicest way to fix this, but curing this from

  magic"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The timer departement presents:

   - A rather large rework of the hrtimer infrastructure which
     introduces softirq based hrtimers to replace the spread of
     hrtimer/tasklet combos which force the actual callback execution
     into softirq context. The approach is completely different from the
     initial implementation which you cursed at 10 years ago rightfully.

     The softirq based timers have their own queues and there is no
     nasty indirection and list reshuffling in the hard interrupt
     anymore. This comes with conversion of some of the hrtimer/tasklet
     users, the rest and the final removal of that horrible interface
     will come towards the end of the merge window or go through the
     relevant maintainer trees.

     Note: The top commit merged the last minute bugfix for the 10 years
     old CPU hotplug bug as I wanted to make sure that I fatfinger the
     merge conflict resolution myself.

   - The overhaul of the STM32 clocksource/clockevents driver

   - A new driver for the Spreadtrum SC9860 timer

   - A new driver dor the Actions Semi S700 timer

   - The usual set of fixes and updates all over the place"
