Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co
- Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)
- Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
- Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
- Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it
definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.
- Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
- A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a
long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
for correlation of traces accross separate machines.
- Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
- A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
- Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
- New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really
impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
specific timers.
[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
- Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most
of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
a few obnoxious strongholds.
- The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
the same function, the old way is still done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
and resume.
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.

Haswell and newer Intel CPUs have support for RTM, and in that case DR6.RTM is
not fixed to 1 and DR7.RTM is not fixed to zero. That is not the case in the
current KVM implementation. This bug is apparent only if the MOV-DR instruction
is emulated or the host also debugs the guest.
This patch is a partial fix which enables DR6.RTM and DR7.RTM to be cleared and
set respectively. It also sets DR6.RTM upon every debug exception. Obviously,
it is not a complete fix, as debugging of RTM is still unsupported.

Emulator accesses are always done a page at a time, either by the emulator
itself (for fetches) or because we need to query the MMU for address
translations. Speed up these accesses by using kvm_read_guest_page
and, in the case of fetches, by inlining kvm_read_guest_virt_helper and
dropping the loop around kvm_read_guest_page.
This final tweak saves 30-100 more clock cycles (4-10%), bringing the
count (as measured by kvm-unit-tests) down to 720-1100 clock cycles on
a Sandy Bridge Xeon host, compared to 2300-3200 before the whole series
and 925-1700 after the first two low-hanging fruit changes.

When the CS base is not page-aligned, the linear address of the code could
get close to the page boundary (e.g. 0x...ffe) even if the EIP value is
not. So we need to first linearize the address, and only then compute
the number of valid bytes that can be fetched.
This happens relatively often when executing real mode code.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
We do not need a memory copying loop anymore in insn_fetch; we
can use a byte-aligned pointer to access instruction fields directly
from the fetch_cache. This eliminates 50-150 cycles (corresponding to
a 5-10% improvement in performance) from each instruction.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
do_insn_fetch_bytes will only be called once in a given insn_fetch and
insn_fetch_arr, because in fact it will only be called at most twice
for any instruction and the first call is explicit in x86_decode_insn.
This observation lets us hoist the call out of the memory copying loop.
It does not buy performance, because most fetches are one byte long
anyway, but it prepares for the next patch.
The overflow check is tricky, but correct. Because do_insn_fetch_bytes
has already been called once, we know that fc->end is at least 15. So
it is okay to subtract the number of bytes we want to read.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Hoist the common case up from do_insn_fetch_byte to do_insn_fetch,
and prime the fetch_cache in x86_decode_insn. This helps a bit the
compiler and the branch predictor, but above all it lays the
ground for further changes in the next few patches.

rip_relative is only set if decode_modrm runs, and if you have ModRM
you will also have a memopp. We can then access memopp unconditionally.
Note that rip_relative cannot be hoisted up to decode_modrm, or you
break "mov $0, xyz(%rip)".
Also, move typecast on "out of range value" of mem.ea to decode_modrm.

We can just blindly move all 16 bytes of ctxt->src's value to ctxt->dst.
write_register_operand will take care of writing only the lower bytes.
Avoiding a call to memcpy (the compiler optimizes it out) gains about
200 cycles on kvm-unit-tests for register-to-register moves, and makes
them about as fast as arithmetic instructions.
We could perhaps get a larger speedup by moving all instructions _except_
moves out of x86_emulate_insn, removing opcode_len, and replacing the
switch statement with an inlined em_mov.

There are several checks for "peculiar" aspects of instructions in both
x86_decode_insn and x86_emulate_insn. Group them together, and guard
them with a single "if" that lets the processor quickly skip them all.
Make this more effective by adding two more flag bits that say whether the
.intercept and .check_perm fields are valid. We will reuse these
flags later to avoid initializing fields of the emulate_ctxt struct.
This skims about 30 cycles for each emulated instructions, which is
approximately a 3% improvement.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Despite the provisions to emulate up to 130 consecutive instructions, in
practice KVM will emulate just one before exiting handle_invalid_guest_state,
because x86_emulate_instruction always sets KVM_REQ_EVENT.
However, we only need to do this if an interrupt could be injected,
which happens a) if an interrupt shadow bit (STI or MOV SS) has gone
away; b) if the interrupt flag has just been set (other instructions
than STI can set it without enabling an interrupt shadow).
This cuts another 700-900 cycles from the cost of emulating an
instruction (measured on a Sandy Bridge Xeon: 1650-2600 cycles
before the patch on kvm-unit-tests, 925-1700 afterwards).
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
For the next patch we will need to know the full state of the
interrupt shadow; we will then set KVM_REQ_EVENT when one bit
is cleared.
However, right now get_interrupt_shadow only returns the one
corresponding to the emulated instruction, or an unconditional
0 if the emulated instruction does not have an interrupt shadow.
This is confusing and does not allow us to check for cleared
bits as mentioned above.
Clean the callback up, and modify toggle_interruptibility to
match the comment above the call. As a small result, the
call to set_interrupt_shadow will be skipped in the common
case where int_shadow == 0 && mask == 0.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
About 25% of the time spent in emulation of invalid guest state
is wasted in checking whether emulation is required for the next
instruction. However, this almost never changes except when a
segment register (or TR or LDTR) changes, or when there is a mode
transition (i.e. CR0 changes).
In fact, vmx_set_segment and vmx_set_cr0 already modify
vmx->emulation_required (except that the former for some reason
uses |= instead of just an assignment). So there is no need to
call guest_state_valid in the emulation loop.
Emulation performance test results indicate 1650-2600 cycles
for common instructions, versus 2300-3200 before this patch on
a Sandy Bridge Xeon.

Since commit 575203 the MCE subsystem in the Linux kernel for AMD sets bit 18
in MSR_K7_HWCR. Running such a kernel as a guest in KVM on an AMD host results
in a GPE injected into the guest because kvm_set_msr_common returns 1. This
patch fixes this by masking bit 18 from the MSR value desired by the guest.

We encountered a scenario in which after an INIT is delivered, a pending
interrupt is delivered, although it was sent before the INIT. As the SDM
states in section 10.4.7.1, the ISR and the IRR should be cleared after INIT as
KVM does. This also means that pending interrupts should be cleared. This
patch clears upon reset (and INIT) the pending interrupts; and at the same
occassion clears the pending exceptions, since they may cause a similar issue.

We have noticed that qemu-kvm hangs early in the BIOS when runnning nested
under some versions of VMware ESXi.
The problem we believe is because KVM assumes that the platform preserves
the 'G' but for any segment register. The SVM specification itemizes the
segment attribute bits that are observed by the CPU, but the (G)ranularity bit
is not one of the bits itemized, for any segment. Though current AMD CPUs keep
track of the (G)ranularity bit for all segment registers other than CS, the
specification does not require it. VMware's virtual CPU may not track the
(G)ranularity bit for any segment register.
Since kvm already synthesizes the (G)ranularity bit for the CS segment. It
should do so for all segments. The patch below does that, and helps get rid of
the hangs. Patch applies on top of Linus' tree.

I've observed kvmclock being marked as unstable on a modern
single-socket system with a stable TSC and qemu-1.6.2 or qemu-2.0.0.
The culprit was failure in TSC matching because of overflow of
kvm_arch::nr_vcpus_matched_tsc in case there were multiple TSC writes
in a single synchronization cycle.
Turns out that qemu does multiple TSC writes during init, below is the
evidence of that (qemu-2.0.0):

The fix is to count each vCPU only once when matched, so that
nr_vcpus_matched_tsc holds the size of the matched set. This is
achieved by reusing generation counters. Every vCPU with
this_tsc_generation == cur_tsc_generation is in the matched set. The
match set is cleared by setting cur_tsc_generation to a value which no
other vCPU is set to (by incrementing it).
I needed to bump up the counter size form u8 to u64 to ensure it never
overflows. Otherwise in cases TSC is not written the same number of
times on each vCPU the counter could overflow and incorrectly indicate
some vCPUs as being in the matched set. This scenario seems unlikely
but I'm not sure if it can be disregarded.

Obtaining the port number from DX is bogus as a) there are immediate
port accesses and b) user space may have changed the register content
while processing the PIO access. Forward the correct value from the
instruction emulator instead.
