2008-07-01powerpc: Only demote individual slices rather than whole processPaul Mackerras
At present, if we have a kernel with a 64kB page size, and some process maps something that has to be mapped with 4kB pages (such as a cache-inhibited mapping on POWER5+, or the eHCA infiniband queue-pair pages), we change the process to use 4kB pages everywhere. This hurts the performance of HPC programs that access eHCA from userspace. With this patch, the kernel will only demote the slice(s) containing the eHCA or cache-inhibited mappings, leaving the remaining slices able to use 64kB hardware pages. This also changes the slice_get_unmapped_area code so that it is willing to place a 64k-page mapping into (or across) a 4k-page slice if there is no better alternative, i.e. if the program specified MAP_FIXED or if there is not sufficient space available in slices that are either empty or already have 64k-page mappings in them.

2008-06-30powerpc: Get rid of bitfields in ppc_bat structBecky Bruce
While working on the 36-bit physical support, I noticed that there was exactly one line of code that actually referenced the bitfields. So I got rid of them and redefined ppc_bat as a struct of 2 u32's: batu and batl. I also got rid of the previous union that held the bitfield structs and a word representation of the batu/l values. This seems like a nicer solution than adding in a bunch of new bitfields to support extended bat addressing that would never get used, and just leaving the struct as-is would have been incomplete in the face of large physical addressing.

2008-06-30powerpc: Change BAT code to use phys_addr_tBecky Bruce
Currently, the physical address is an unsigned long, but it should be phys_addr_t in set_bat, [v/p]_mapped_by_bat. Also, create a macro that can convert a large physical address into the correct format for programming the BAT registers.

2008-06-30powerpc: Free a PTE bit on ppc64 with 64K pagesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This frees a PTE bit when using 64K pages on ppc64. This is done by getting rid of the separate _PAGE_HASHPTE bit. Instead, we just test if any of the 16 sub-page bits is set. For non-combo pages (ie. real 64K pages), we set SUB0 and the location encoding in that field.

This patch updates the kvm host code to use the pvclock structs and functions, thereby making it compatible with Xen.

2008-06-24KVM: VMX: Fix host msr corruption with preemption enabledAvi Kivity
Switching msrs can occur either synchronously as a result of calls to the msr management functions (usually in response to the guest touching virtualized msrs), or asynchronously when preempting a kvm thread that has guest state loaded. If we're unlucky enough to have the two at the same time, host msrs are corrupted and the machine goes kaput on the next syscall. Most easily triggered by Windows Server 2008, as it does a lot of msr switching during bootup. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
2008-06-24KVM: MMU: Fix oops on guest userspace access to guest pagetableAvi Kivity
KVM has a heuristic to unshadow guest pagetables when userspace accesses them, on the assumption that most guests do not allow userspace to access pagetables directly. Unfortunately, in addition to unshadowing the pagetables, it also oopses. This never triggers on ordinary guests since sane OSes will clear the pagetables before assigning them to userspace, which will trigger the flood heuristic, unshadowing the pagetables before the first userspace access. One particular guest, though (Xenner) will run the kernel in userspace, triggering the oops. Since the heuristic is incorrect in this case, we can simply remove it.

kvm_mmu_pte_write() does not handle 32-bit non-PAE large page backed guests properly. It will instantiate two 2MB sptes pointing to the same physical 2MB page when a guest large pte update is trapped. Instead of duplicating code to handle this, disallow directory level updates to happen through kvm_mmu_pte_write(), so the two 2MB sptes emulating one guest 4MB pte can be correctly created by the page fault handling path.

2008-06-24KVM: close timer injection race window in __vcpu_runMarcelo Tosatti
If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit. It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen. For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

2008-06-24KVM: Fix race between timer migration and vcpu migrationMarcelo Tosatti
A guest vcpu instance can be scheduled to a different physical CPU between the test for KVM_REQ_MIGRATE_TIMER and local_irq_disable(). If that happens, the timer will only be migrated to the current pCPU on the next exit, meaning that guest LAPIC timer event can be delayed until a host interrupt is triggered. Fix it by cancelling guest entry if any vcpu request is pending. This has the side effect of nicely consolidating vcpu->requests checks.

Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings about static functions and objects being referenced from non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction with our -Werror. We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline", as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline" logic is crucial for generic kernel build. So - just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline" functions are also "extern inline"; - use "static inline", wherever it's possible. traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array bounds-checking.

With built-in scsi disk driver, the final link fails with a following error: `.exit.text' referenced in section `.rodata' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4 versions, and also with -O2 and gcc-4.3. The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function exit_sd(), and the compiler generating a jump table in .rodata section for the 'switch' statement in sd_major(). So we have references to discarded section. Fixed with a big hammer in the form of -fno-jump-tables. Note that jump tables vs. discarded sections is a generic problem, other architectures are just lucky not to suffer from it. But with a slightly more complex switch/case statement it can be reproduced on x86 as well. So maybe at some point we should consider -fno-jump-tables as a generic compile option...

2008-06-20Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIPLinus Torvalds
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit 557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly. We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages, we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead. In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating all those useless newly zeroed pages. This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly. While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it) and a page that just wasn't mapped. We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not be turned into a "struct page *". The error is arbitrarily picked to be EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the equivalent IO-mapped page case.
