KVM assumed in several places that reading the TSC MSR returns the value for
L1. This is incorrect, because when L2 is running, the correct TSC read exit
emulation is to return L2's value.
We therefore add a new x86_ops function, read_l1_tsc, to use in places that
specifically need to read the L1 TSC, NOT the TSC of the current level of
guest.
Note that one change, of one line in kvm_arch_vcpu_load, is made redundant
by a different patch sent by Zachary Amsden (and not yet applied):
kvm_arch_vcpu_load() should not read the guest TSC, and if it didn't, of
course we didn't have to change the call of kvm_get_msr() to read_l1_tsc().

Architecturally, PDPTEs are cached in the PDPTRs when CR3 is reloaded.
On SVM, it is not possible to implement this, but on VMX this is possible
and was indeed implemented until nested SVM changed this to unconditionally
read PDPTEs dynamically. This has noticable impact when running PAE guests.
Fix by changing the MMU to read PDPTRs from the cache, falling back to
reading from memory for the nested MMU.

The vmexit tracepoints format the exit_reason to make it human-readable.
Since the exit_reason depends on the instruction set (vmx or svm),
formatting is handled with ftrace_print_symbols_seq() by referring to
the appropriate exit reason table.
However, the ftrace_print_symbols_seq() function is not meant to be used
directly in tracepoints since it does not export the formatting table
which userspace tools like trace-cmd and perf use to format traces.
In practice perf dies when formatting vmexit-related events and
trace-cmd falls back to printing the numeric value (with extra
formatting code in the kvm plugin to paper over this limitation). Other
userspace consumers of vmexit-related tracepoints would be in similar
trouble.
To avoid significant changes to the kvm_exit tracepoint, this patch
moves the vmx and svm exit reason tables into arch/x86/kvm/trace.h and
selects the right table with __print_symbolic() depending on the
instruction set. Note that __print_symbolic() is designed for exporting
the formatting table to userspace and allows trace-cmd and perf to work.

The patch raises the hard limit of VCPU count to 254.
This will allow developers to easily work on scalability
and will allow users to test high VCPU setups easily without
patching the kernel.
To prevent possible issues with current setups, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS
now returns the recommended VCPU limit (which is still 64) - this
should be a safe value for everybody, while a new KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS
returns the hard limit which is now 254.

This is a workaround for a UV2 hub bug that affects the format of system
global addresses.
The GRU API for UV2 was inadvertently broken by a hardware change. The
format of the physical address used for TLB dropins and for addresses used
with instructions running in unmapped mode has changed. This change was
not documented and became apparent only when diags failed running on
system simulators.
For UV1, TLB and GRU instruction physical addresses are identical to
socket physical addresses (although high NASID bits must be OR'ed into the
address).
For UV2, socket physical addresses need to be converted. The NODE portion
of the physical address needs to be shifted so that the low bit is in bit
39 or bit 40, depending on an MMR value.
It is not yet clear if this bug will be fixed in a silicon respin. If it
is fixed, the hub revision will be incremented & the workaround disabled.

On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now
unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16
bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much.
However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for
the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit
59e97e4d6f ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative").
So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good
idea.
On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly
hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>. That header file had
used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts
have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and
rwsem).
That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment
would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section,
causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction
replacement.
So just remove all the alignment noise entirely. It's wrong, and it's
unnecessary. The section itself is already properly aligned by the
linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the
proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned. So if the align directive
were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious
bug to begin with.

The AMD L3 data is coupled to the northbridge info by a pointer to the

uses less memory and gets rid of that atomic allocation hack in the

The inner loop of __ticket_spin_lock isn't doing anything very special,
so reimplement it in C.
For the 8 bit ticket lock variant, we use a register union to get direct
access to the lower and upper bytes in the tickets, but unfortunately gcc
won't generate a direct comparison between the two halves of the register,
so the generated asm isn't quite as pretty as the hand-coded version.
However benchmarking shows that this is actually a small improvement in
runtime performance on some benchmarks, and never a slowdown.
We also need to make sure there's a barrier at the end of the lock loop
to make sure that the compiler doesn't move any instructions from within
the locked region into the region where we don't yet own the lock.

- Define struct arch_spinlock as a union containing plain slock and
the head and tail tickets
- Use head and tail to implement some of the spinlock predicates.
- Make all ticket variables unsigned.
- Use TICKET_SHIFT to form constants

The order-based approach is not only less efficient (requiring a shift

mov eax, [machine_to_phys_order]
mov ecx, eax
shr ebx, cl
test ebx, ebx

whereas a direct check requires just a compare, like in
cmp ebx, [machine_to_phys_nr]
jae ...
), but also slightly dangerous in the 32-on-64 case - the element
address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is
sufficiently far away from the actual upper limit of the table, and
hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being
unknown what may actually be mapped there).
Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should
have been __fls()) fixes a latent issue on x86-64 that would trigger
if the code was run on a system with memory extending beyond the 44-bit

This is an assembler implementation of the SHA1 algorithm using the
Supplemental SSE3 (SSSE3) instructions or, when available, the
Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX).
Testing with the tcrypt module shows the raw hash performance is up to
2.3 times faster than the C implementation, using 8k data blocks on a
Core 2 Duo T5500. For the smalest data set (16 byte) it is still 25%
faster.
Since this implementation uses SSE/YMM registers it cannot safely be
used in every situation, e.g. while an IRQ interrupts a kernel thread.
The implementation falls back to the generic SHA1 variant, if using
the SSE/YMM registers is not possible.
With this algorithm I was able to increase the throughput of a single
IPsec link from 344 Mbit/s to 464 Mbit/s on a Core 2 Quad CPU using
the SSSE3 variant -- a speedup of +34.8%.
Saving and restoring SSE/YMM state might make the actual throughput
fluctuate when there are FPU intensive userland applications running.
For example, meassuring the performance using iperf2 directly on the
machine under test gives wobbling numbers because iperf2 uses the FPU
for each packet to check if the reporting interval has expired (in the
above test I got min/max/avg: 402/484/464 MBit/s).
Using this algorithm on a IPsec gateway gives much more reasonable and
stable numbers, albeit not as high as in the directly connected case.
Here is the result from an RFC 2544 test run with a EXFO Packet Blazer
FTB-8510:
frame size sha1-generic sha1-ssse3 delta
64 byte 37.5 MBit/s 37.5 MBit/s 0.0%
128 byte 56.3 MBit/s 62.5 MBit/s +11.0%
256 byte 87.5 MBit/s 100.0 MBit/s +14.3%
512 byte 131.3 MBit/s 150.0 MBit/s +14.2%
1024 byte 162.5 MBit/s 193.8 MBit/s +19.3%
1280 byte 175.0 MBit/s 212.5 MBit/s +21.4%
1420 byte 175.0 MBit/s 218.7 MBit/s +25.0%
1518 byte 150.0 MBit/s 181.2 MBit/s +20.8%
The throughput for the largest frame size is lower than for the
previous size because the IP packets need to be fragmented in this
case to make there way through the IPsec tunnel.

This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its
shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive
number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the
cores of a compute module.
This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache
lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their
virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation.
This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12]
slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus
forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library
across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases.
It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with
which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86
individually, or both, or be completely disabled.
This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families

Three places in the kernel assume that the only long mode CPL 3
selector is __USER_CS. This is not true on Xen -- Xen's sysretq
changes cs to the magic value 0xe033.
Two of the places are corner cases, but as of "x86-64: Improve
vsyscall emulation CS and RIP handling"
(c9712944b2), vsyscalls will segfault
if called with Xen's extra CS selector. This causes a panic when
older init builds die.
It seems impossible to make Xen use __USER_CS reliably without
taking a performance hit on every system call, so this fixes the
tests instead with a new paravirt op. It's a little ugly because
ptrace.h can't include paravirt.h.

Architectural inlines to get random ints and longs using the RDRAND
instruction.
Intel has introduced a new RDRAND instruction, a Digital Random Number
Generator (DRNG), which is functionally an high bandwidth entropy
source, cryptographic whitener, and integrity monitor all built into
hardware. This enables RDRAND to be used directly, bypassing the
kernel random number pool.
For technical documentation, see:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-bull-mountain-software-implementation-guide/
In this patch, this is *only* used for the nonblocking random number
pool. RDRAND is a nonblocking source, similar to our /dev/urandom,
and is therefore not a direct replacement for /dev/random. The
architectural hooks presented in the previous patch only feed the
kernel internal users, which only use the nonblocking pool, and so
this is not a problem.
Since this instruction is available in userspace, there is no reason
to have a /dev/hw_rng device driver for the purpose of feeding rngd.
This is especially so since RDRAND is a nonblocking source, and needs
additional whitening and reduction (see the above technical
documentation for details) in order to be of "pure entropy source"
quality.
The CONFIG_EXPERT compile-time option can be used to disable this use
of RDRAND.

This is not done using the generic-y mechanism as none of these arch's

later when the arch begins using generic-y.
Note the subtle change to the avr32 and SH architectures where the argument

With CPU hotplug, there is a theoretical race between other CMOS
(namely RTC) accesses and those done in the SMP secondary
processor bringup path.
I am unware of the problem having been noticed by anyone in practice,
but it would very likely be rather spurious and very hard to reproduce.
So to be on the safe side, acquire rtc_lock around those accesses.

With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there
is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing
the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more
CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the
inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough).
A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new
value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to
nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue.
Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a
little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less
nesting would suffice.
However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more
nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible
currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened
to 64 bits.

Instead of hw_nmi_watchdog_set_attr() weak function
and appropriate x86_pmu::hw_watchdog_set_attr() call
we introduce even alias mechanism which allow us
to drop this routines completely and isolate quirks
of Netburst architecture inside P4 PMU code only.
The main idea remains the same though -- to allow
nmi-watchdog and perf top run simultaneously.
Note the aliasing mechanism applies to generic
PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES event only because arbitrary
event (say passed as RAW initially) might have some
additional bits set inside ESCR register changing
the behaviour of event and we can't guarantee anymore
that alias event will give the same result.
P.S. Thanks a huge to Don and Steven for for testing

Since 2.6.36 (23016bf0d2), Linux prints the existence of "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo,
Since 2.6.38 (d5532ee7b4), the x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility has
been available in-tree to update MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS.
However, the typical BIOS fails to initialize the MSR, presumably
because this is handled by high-volume shrink-wrap operating systems...
Linux distros, on the other hand, do not yet invoke x86_energy_perf_policy(8).
As a result, WSM-EP, SNB, and later hardware from Intel will run in its
default hardware power-on state (performance), which assumes that users
care for performance at all costs and not for energy efficiency.
While that is fine for performance benchmarks, the hardware's intended default
operating point is "normal" mode...
Initialize the MSR to the "normal" by default during kernel boot.
x86_energy_perf_policy(8) is available to change the default after boot,
should the user have a different preference.

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest
information about how much time was spent running other processes
outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt
time does not count.
This information is acquired through the run_delay field of
delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a
runqueue but not running.
Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based
infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the
memory area address containing information about steal time
This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure,
and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

According to the spec, there are two types of entry failures: If the problem

fails. But a problem is found in the guest state, the behavior is more
similar to that of an exit.

Note that this will not necessarily be called on every L2 exit. L0 may decide

case, L0 will handle the exit, and resume running L2, without running L1 and
without calling nested_vmx_vmexit(). The logic for deciding whether to handle
