KVM x86 misc changes for 6.17
- Prevert the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM (Intel only) when running the
guest. Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can bleed host state into the guest.
- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter (Intel only) to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF.
- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the
vCPU's CPUID model.
- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are more or
less identical.
- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from the "source" on MSR filter changes, and
drop the dedicated "shadow" bitmaps (and their awful "max" size defines).
- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the
nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR.
- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction that's
loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated independently.
- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by stuffing INIT_RECEIVED,
a.k.a. WFS, and then putting the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Use
the same approach KVM uses for dealing with "impossible" emulation when
running a !URG guest, and simply wait until KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU
has architecturally impossible state.
- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of
APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can "virtualize"
APERF/MPERF (with many caveats).
- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ if vCPUs have been created, as changing the "default"
frequency is unsupported for VMs with a "secure" TSC, and there's no known
use case for changing the default frequency for other VM types.
Pull coredump updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains an extension to the coredump socket and a proper rework
of the coredump code.
- This extends the coredump socket to allow the coredump server to
tell the kernel how to process individual coredumps. This allows
for fine-grained coredump management. Userspace can decide to just
let the kernel write out the coredump, or generate the coredump
itself, or just reject it.
* COREDUMP_KERNEL
The kernel will write the coredump data to the socket.
* COREDUMP_USERSPACE
The kernel will not write coredump data but will indicate to the
parent that a coredump has been generated. This is used when
userspace generates its own coredumps.
* COREDUMP_REJECT
The kernel will skip generating a coredump for this task.
* COREDUMP_WAIT
The kernel will prevent the task from exiting until the coredump
server has shutdown the socket connection.
The flexible coredump socket can be enabled by using the "@@"
prefix instead of the single "@" prefix for the regular coredump
socket:
@@/run/systemd/coredump.socket
- Cleanup the coredump code properly while we have to touch it
anyway.

grasp what is going on and make the code easier to follow. The core

Extend the netlink operation `napi-set` and allow setting the threaded
attribute of a NAPI. This will enable the threaded polling on a NAPI
context.

Nolibc assumes that the kernel ABI is using a time values that are as
large as a long integer. For most ABIs this holds true.
But for x32 this is not correct, as it uses 32bit longs but 64bit times.
Also the 'struct stat' implementation of nolibc relies on timespec::tv_sec
and time_t being the same type. While timespec::tv_sec comes from the
kernel and is of type __kernel_old_time_t, time_t is defined within nolibc.
Switch to the __kernel_old_time_t to always get the correct type.

This patch provides a setsockopt method to let applications leverage to
adjust how many descs to be handled at most in one send syscall. It
mitigates the situation where the default value (32) that is too small
leads to higher frequency of triggering send syscall.
Considering the prosperity/complexity the applications have, there is no
absolutely ideal suggestion fitting all cases. So keep 32 as its default
value like before.
The patch does the following things:
- Add XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET socket option.
- Set max_tx_budget to 32 by default in the initialization phase as a
per-socket granular control.
- Set the range of max_tx_budget as [32, xs->tx->nentries].
The idea behind this comes out of real workloads in production. We use a
user-level stack with xsk support to accelerate sending packets and
minimize triggering syscalls. When the packets are aggregated, it's not
hard to hit the upper bound (namely, 32). The moment user-space stack
fetches the -EAGAIN error number passed from sendto(), it will loop to try
again until all the expected descs from tx ring are sent out to the driver.
Enlarging the XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET value contributes to less frequency of
sendto() and higher throughput/PPS.
Here is what I did in production, along with some numbers as follows:
For one application I saw lately, I suggested using 128 as max_tx_budget
because I saw two limitations without changing any default configuration:
1) XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET, 2) socket sndbuf which is 212992 decided by
net.core.wmem_default. As to XDP_MAX_TX_SKB_BUDGET, the scenario behind
this was I counted how many descs are transmitted to the driver at one
time of sendto() based on [1] patch and then I calculated the
possibility of hitting the upper bound. Finally I chose 128 as a
suitable value because 1) it covers most of the cases, 2) a higher
number would not bring evident results. After twisting the parameters,
a stable improvement of around 4% for both PPS and throughput and less
resources consumption were found to be observed by strace -c -p xxx:
1) %time was decreased by 7.8%
2) error counter was decreased from 18367 to 572

Allow a guest to read the physical IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSRs
without interception.
The IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSRs are not virtualized. Writes are not
handled at all. The MSR values are not zeroed on vCPU creation, saved
on suspend, or restored on resume. No accommodation is made for
processor migration or for sharing a logical processor with other
tasks. No adjustments are made for non-unit TSC multipliers. The MSRs
do not account for time the same way as the comparable PMU events,
whether the PMU is virtualized by the traditional emulation method or
the new mediated pass-through approach.
Nonetheless, in a properly constrained environment, this capability
can be combined with a guest CPUID table that advertises support for
CPUID.6:ECX.APERFMPERF[bit 0] to induce a Linux guest to report the
effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo. Moreover, there is
no performance cost for this capability.

BITS_PER_LONG does not exist in UAPI headers, so can't be used by the UAPI
__GENMASK(). Instead __BITS_PER_LONG needs to be used.
When __GENMASK() was introduced in commit 3c7a8e190b ("uapi: introduce uapi-friendly macros for GENMASK"),
the code was fine. A broken revert in 1e7933a575 ("uapi: Revert "bitops: avoid integer overflow in GENMASK(_ULL)"")
introduced the incorrect usage of BITS_PER_LONG.
That was fixed in commit 11fcf36850 ("uapi: bitops: use UAPI-safe variant of BITS_PER_LONG again").
But a broken sync of the kernel headers with the tools/ headers in
commit fc92099902 ("tools headers: Synchronize linux/bits.h with the kernel sources")
undid the fix.
Reapply the fix and while at it also fix the tools header.

The compiler does not know that waitid() will only ever return 0 or -1.
If waitid() would return a positive value than waitpid() would return that
same value and *status would not be initialized.
However users calling waitpid() know that the only possible return values
of it are 0 or -1. They therefore might check for errors with
'ret == -1' or 'ret < 0' and use *status otherwise. The compiler will then
warn about the usage of a potentially uninitialized variable.
Example:
$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{

To allow testing of vfork() support in the arm64 basic-gcs test provide an
implementation for nolibc, using the vfork() syscall if one is available
and otherwise clone3(). We implement in terms of clone3() since the order
of the arguments for clone() varies between architectures.
As for fork() SPARC returns the parent PID rather than 0 in the child
for vfork() so needs custom handling.

Add support for SuperH/"sh" to nolibc.
Only sh4 is tested for now.
The startup code is special:
__nolibc_entrypoint_epilogue() calls __builtin_unreachable() which emits
a call to abort(). To make this work a function prologue is generated to
set up a GOT pointer which corrupts "sp".
__builtin_unreachable() is necessary for __attribute__((noreturn)).
Also depending on compiler flags (for example -fPIC) even more prologue
is generated.
Work around this by defining a nested function in asm.

Add support for a stream API to the kernel and expose related kfuncs to
BPF programs. Two streams are exposed, BPF_STDOUT and BPF_STDERR. These
can be used for printing messages that can be consumed from user space,
thus it's similar in spirit to existing trace_pipe interface.
The kernel will use the BPF_STDERR stream to notify the program of any
errors encountered at runtime. BPF programs themselves may use both
streams for writing debug messages. BPF library-like code may use
BPF_STDERR to print warnings or errors on misuse at runtime.
The implementation of a stream is as follows. Everytime a message is
emitted from the kernel (directly, or through a BPF program), a record
is allocated by bump allocating from per-cpu region backed by a page
obtained using alloc_pages_nolock(). This ensures that we can allocate
memory from any context. The eventual plan is to discard this scheme in
favor of Alexei's kmalloc_nolock() [0].
This record is then locklessly inserted into a list (llist_add()) so
that the printing side doesn't require holding any locks, and works in
any context. Each stream has a maximum capacity of 4MB of text, and each
printed message is accounted against this limit.
Messages from a program are emitted using the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc,
which takes a stream_id argument in addition to working otherwise
similar to bpf_trace_vprintk.
The bprintf buffer helpers are extracted out to be reused for printing
the string into them before copying it into the stream, so that we can
(with the defined max limit) format a string and know its true length
before performing allocations of the stream element.
For consuming elements from a stream, we expose a bpf(2) syscall command
named BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD, which allows reading data from the
stream of a given prog_fd into a user space buffer. The main logic is
implemented in bpf_stream_read(). The log messages are queued in
bpf_stream::log by the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc, and then pulled and
ordered correctly in the stream backlog.
For this purpose, we hold a lock around bpf_stream_backlog_peek(), as
llist_del_first() (if we maintained a second lockless list for the
backlog) wouldn't be safe from multiple threads anyway. Then, if we
fail to find something in the backlog log, we splice out everything from
the lockless log, and place it in the backlog log, and then return the
head of the backlog. Once the full length of the element is consumed, we
will pop it and free it.
The lockless list bpf_stream::log is a LIFO stack. Elements obtained
using a llist_del_all() operation are in LIFO order, thus would break
the chronological ordering if printed directly. Hence, this batch of
messages is first reversed. Then, it is stashed into a separate list in
the stream, i.e. the backlog_log. The head of this list is the actual
message that should always be returned to the caller. All of this is
done in bpf_stream_backlog_fill().
From the kernel side, the writing into the stream will be a bit more
involved than the typical printk. First, the kernel typically may print
a collection of messages into the stream, and parallel writers into the
stream may suffer from interleaving of messages. To ensure each group of
messages is visible atomically, we can lift the advantage of using a
lockless list for pushing in messages.
To enable this, we add a bpf_stream_stage() macro, and require kernel
users to use bpf_stream_printk statements for the passed expression to
write into the stream. Underneath the macro, we have a message staging
API, where a bpf_stream_stage object on the stack accumulates the
messages being printed into a local llist_head, and then a commit
operation splices the whole batch into the stream's lockless log list.
This is especially pertinent for rqspinlock deadlock messages printed to
program streams. After this change, we see each deadlock invocation as a
non-interleaving contiguous message without any confusion on the
reader's part, improving their user experience in debugging the fault.
While programs cannot benefit from this staged stream writing API, they
could just as well hold an rqspinlock around their print statements to
serialize messages, hence this is kept kernel-internal for now.
Overall, this infrastructure provides NMI-safe any context printing of
messages to two dedicated streams.
Later patches will add support for printing splats in case of BPF arena
page faults, rqspinlock deadlocks, and cond_break timeouts, and
integration of this facility into bpftool for dumping messages to user
space.

This remained the only exception to the kernel's architectures
organization and it's always a bit cumbersome to deal with. Let's merge
i386 and x86_64 into x86. This will result in a single arch-x86.h file
by default, and we'll no longer need to merge the two manually during
installation. Requesting either i386 or x86_64 will also result in
installing x86.

There are two possible scenarios for syscall filtering:
- having a trusted/allowed range of PCs, and intercepting everything else
- or the opposite: a single untrusted/intercepted range and allowing
everything else (this is relevant for any kind of sandboxing scenario,
or monitoring behavior of a single library)
The current API only allows the former use case due to allowed
range wrap-around check. Add PR_SYS_DISPATCH_INCLUSIVE_ON that
enables the second use case.
Add PR_SYS_DISPATCH_EXCLUSIVE_ON alias for PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON
to make it clear how it's different from the new
PR_SYS_DISPATCH_INCLUSIVE_ON.

Current cgroup prog ordering is appending at attachment time. This is not
ideal. In some cases, users want specific ordering at a particular cgroup
level. To address this, the existing mprog API seems an ideal solution with
supporting BPF_F_BEFORE and BPF_F_AFTER flags.
But there are a few obstacles to directly use kernel mprog interface.
Currently cgroup bpf progs already support prog attach/detach/replace
and link-based attach/detach/replace. For example, in struct
bpf_prog_array_item, the cgroup_storage field needs to be together
with bpf prog. But the mprog API struct bpf_mprog_fp only has bpf_prog
as the member, which makes it difficult to use kernel mprog interface.
In another case, the current cgroup prog detach tries to use the
same flag as in attach. This is different from mprog kernel interface
which uses flags passed from user space.
So to avoid modifying existing behavior, I made the following changes to
support mprog API for cgroup progs:
- The support is for prog list at cgroup level. Cross-level prog list
(a.k.a. effective prog list) is not supported.
- Previously, BPF_F_PREORDER is supported only for prog attach, now
BPF_F_PREORDER is also supported by link-based attach.
- For attach, BPF_F_BEFORE/BPF_F_AFTER/BPF_F_ID/BPF_F_LINK is supported
similar to kernel mprog but with different implementation.
- For detach and replace, use the existing implementation.
- For attach, detach and replace, the revision for a particular prog
list, associated with a particular attach type, will be updated
by increasing count by 1.

Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.
stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
reduced.
- "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.
- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.
- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.
- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.
- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.
- "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.
- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.
This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
rather than file-backed folios.
- "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
ranges of invalid pfns.
- "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.
Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
using JFS.
- "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
appropriate mm/vma.c.
- "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
function.
- "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.
- "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
test_memcontrol selftest.
- "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().
The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.
This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
documents.
- "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.
- "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio
instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the
hugetlb code.
