Sasha Levin 743eeb0b01 KVM: Intelligent device lookup on I/O bus
Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO)
is to call the read or write callback for each device registered
on the bus until we find a device which handles it.

Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds
and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO
operation.

Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to
a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear
search.

Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with
200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a
different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits).
Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the
patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

Xiao Guangrong ce88decffd KVM: MMU: mmio page fault support
The idea is from Avi:

| We could cache the result of a miss in an spte by using a reserved bit, and
| checking the page fault error code (or seeing if we get an ept violation or
| ept misconfiguration), so if we get repeated mmio on a page, we don't need to
| search the slot list/tree.
| (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/22/221)

When the page fault is caused by mmio, we cache the info in the shadow page
table, and also set the reserved bits in the shadow page table, so if the mmio
is caused again, we can quickly identify it and emulate it directly

Searching mmio gfn in memslots is heavy since we need to walk all memeslots, it
can be reduced by this feature, and also avoid walking guest page table for
soft mmu.

Xiao Guangrong fce92dce79 KVM: MMU: filter out the mmio pfn from the fault pfn
If the page fault is caused by mmio, the gfn can not be found in memslots, and
'bad_pfn' is returned on gfn_to_hva path, so we can use 'bad_pfn' to identify
the mmio page fault.
And, to clarify the meaning of mmio pfn, we return fault page instead of bad
page when the gfn is not allowd to prefetch

Alexander Graf 1dda606c5f KVM: Add compat ioctl for KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK
KVM has an ioctl to define which signal mask should be used while running
inside VCPU_RUN. At least for big endian systems, this mask is different
on 32-bit and 64-bit systems (though the size is identical).

Add a compat wrapper that converts the mask to whatever the kernel accepts,
allowing 32-bit kvm user space to set signal masks.

This patch fixes qemu with --enable-io-thread on ppc64 hosts when running
32-bit user land.

Mike Waychison 74b5c5bfff KVM: Initialize kvm before registering the mmu notifier
It doesn't make sense to ever see a half-initialized kvm structure on
mmu notifier callbacks.  Previously, 85722cda changed the ordering to
ensure that the mmu_lock was initialized before mmu notifier
registration, but there is still a race where the mmu notifier could
come in and try accessing other portions of struct kvm before they are
intialized.

Solve this by moving the mmu notifier registration to occur after the
structure is completely initialized.

Akinobu Mita 5140a357ea kvm: stop including asm-generic/bitops/le.h directly
asm-generic/bitops/le.h is only intended to be included directly from
asm-generic/bitops/ext2-non-atomic.h or asm-generic/bitops/minix-le.h
which implements generic ext2 or minix bit operations.

This stops including asm-generic/bitops/le.h directly and use ext2
non-atomic bit operations instead.

It seems odd to use ext2_set_bit() on kvm, but it will replaced with
__set_bit_le() after introducing little endian bit operations for all
architectures.  This indirect step is necessary to maintain bisectability
for some architectures which have their own little-endian bit operations.

KVM uses a sysdev class and a sysdev for executing kvm_suspend()
after interrupts have been turned off on the boot CPU (during system
suspend) and for executing kvm_resume() before turning on interrupts
on the boot CPU (during system resume).  However, since both of these
functions ignore their arguments, the entire mechanism may be
replaced with a struct syscore_ops object which is simpler.

is_hwpoison_address only checks whether the page table entry is
hwpoisoned, regardless the memory page mapped.  While __get_user_pages

QEMU will clear the poisoned page table entry (via unmap/map) to make
it possible to allocate a new memory page for the virtual address
across guest rebooting.  But it is also possible that the underlying
memory page is kept poisoned even after the corresponding page table
entry is cleared, that is, a new memory page can not be allocated.
__get_user_pages can catch these situations.

Andrea Arcangeli 8ee53820ed thp: mmu_notifier_test_young
For GRU and EPT, we need gup-fast to set referenced bit too (this is why
it's correct to return 0 when shadow_access_mask is zero, it requires
gup-fast to set the referenced bit).  qemu-kvm access already sets the
young bit in the pte if it isn't zero-copy, if it's zero copy or a shadow
paging EPT minor fault we relay on gup-fast to signal the page is in
use...

We also need to check the young bits on the secondary pagetables for NPT
and not nested shadow mmu as the data may never get accessed again by the
primary pte.

Without this closer accuracy, we'd have to remove the heuristic that
avoids collapsing hugepages in hugepage virtual regions that have not even
a single subpage in use.

->test_young is full backwards compatible with GRU and other usages that
don't have young bits in pagetables set by the hardware and that should
nuke the secondary mmu mappings when ->clear_flush_young runs just like
EPT does.

Removing the heuristic that checks the young bit in
khugepaged/collapse_huge_page completely isn't so bad either probably but
I thought it was worth it and this makes it reliable.

PAGE_SIZE so that we can avoid vmalloc area usage for VGA.

This will also make the logging start/stop faster.

Takuya Yoshikawa 515a01279a KVM: pre-allocate one more dirty bitmap to avoid vmalloc()
Currently x86's kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() needs to allocate a bitmap by
vmalloc() which will be used in the next logging and this has been causing
bad effect to VGA and live-migration: vmalloc() consumes extra systime,
triggers tlb flush, etc.

This patch resolves this issue by pre-allocating one more bitmap and switching
between two bitmaps during dirty logging.

Performance improvement:
  I measured performance for the case of VGA update by trace-cmd.
  The result was 1.5 times faster than the original one.

  In the case of live migration, the improvement ratio depends on the workload
  and the guest memory size. In general, the larger the memory size is the more
  benefits we get.

Note:
  This does not change other architectures's logic but the allocation size
  becomes twice. This will increase the actual memory consumption only when
  the new size changes the number of pages allocated by vmalloc().

If a guest accesses swapped out memory do not swap it in from vcpu thread

instead.

Interrupts will still be delivered to the guest and if interrupt will
cause reschedule guest will continue to run another task.

There is a bugs in this function, we call gfn_to_pfn() and kvm_mmu_gva_to_gpa_read() in
atomic context(kvm_mmu_audit() is called under the spinlock(mmu_lock)'s protection).

This patch fix it by:
- introduce gfn_to_pfn_atomic instead of gfn_to_pfn
- get the mapping gfn from kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn()

And it adds 'notrap' ptes check in unsync/direct sps
