[ Upstream commit 083db6764821996526970e42d09c1ab2f4155dd4 ]

The __raw_callee_save_*() functions have an ELF symbol size of zero,
which confuses objtool and other tools.

Fixes a bunch of warnings like the following:

  arch/x86/xen/mmu_pv.o: warning: objtool: __raw_callee_save_xen_pte_val() is missing an ELF size annotation
  arch/x86/xen/mmu_pv.o: warning: objtool: __raw_callee_save_xen_pgd_val() is missing an ELF size annotation
  arch/x86/xen/mmu_pv.o: warning: objtool: __raw_callee_save_xen_make_pte() is missing an ELF size annotation
  arch/x86/xen/mmu_pv.o: warning: objtool: __raw_callee_save_xen_make_pgd() is missing an ELF size annotation

commit fe2a3027e74e40a3ece3a4c1e4e51403090a907a upstream.

Guests on new hypersiors might set KVM_ASYNC_PF_DELIVERY_AS_PF_VMEXIT
bit when enabling async_PF, but this bit is reserved on old hypervisors,
which results in a failure upon migration.

To avoid breaking different cases, we are checking for CPUID feature bit
before enabling the feature and nothing else.

commit 03b2a320b19f1424e9ac9c21696be9c60b6d0d93 upstream.

The x86_hyper pointer is only used for checking whether a virtual
device is supporting the hypervisor the system is running on.

Use an enum for that purpose instead and drop the x86_hyper pointer.

<title>x86/virt, x86/platform: Merge 'struct x86_hyper' into 'struct x86_platform' and 'struct x86_init'</title>

commit f72e38e8ec8869ac0ba5a75d7d2f897d98a1454e upstream.

Instead of x86_hyper being either NULL on bare metal or a pointer to a
struct hypervisor_x86 in case of the kernel running as a guest merge
the struct into x86_platform and x86_init.

This will remove the need for wrappers making it hard to find out what
is being called. With dummy functions added for all callbacks testing
for a NULL function pointer can be removed, too.

<title>kvm/x86: Avoid async PF preempting the kernel incorrectly</title>
<updated>2017-10-04T16:28:53Z</updated>
<author>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=a2b7861bb33b2538420bb5d8554153484d3f961f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:a2b7861bb33b2538420bb5d8554153484d3f961f</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, in PREEMPT_COUNT=n kernel, kvm_async_pf_task_wait() could call
schedule() to reschedule in some cases.  This could result in
accidentally ending the current RCU read-side critical section early,
causing random memory corruption in the guest, or otherwise preempting
the currently running task inside between preempt_disable and
preempt_enable.

The difficulty to handle this well is because we don't know whether an
async PF delivered in a preemptible section or RCU read-side critical section
for PREEMPT_COUNT=n, since preempt_disable()/enable() and rcu_read_lock/unlock()
are both no-ops in that case.

To cure this, we treat any async PF interrupting a kernel context as one
that cannot be preempted, preventing kvm_async_pf_task_wait() from choosing
the schedule() path in that case.

To do so, a second parameter for kvm_async_pf_task_wait() is introduced,
so that we know whether it's called from a context interrupting the
kernel, and the parameter is set properly in all the callsites.

This happened when the host hit a page fault, and delivered it as in an
async page fault, while the guest was in an RCU read-side critical
section.  The guest then tries to reschedule in kvm_async_pf_task_wait(),
but rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() would treat the reschedule as a
sleep in RCU read-side critical section, which is not allowed (even in
preemptible RCU).  Thus the WARN.

To cure this, make kvm_async_pf_task_wait() go to the halt path if the
PF happens in a RCU read-side critical section.

set_intr_gate() is an internal function of the IDT code. The only user left
is the KVM code which replaces the pagefault handler eventually.

Provide an explicit update_intr_gate() function and make set_intr_gate()
static. While at it replace the magic number 14 in the KVM code with the
proper trap define.

Make use of the new irqvector tracing static key and remove the duplicated
trace_do_pagefault() implementation.

If irq vector tracing is disabled, then the overhead of this is a single
NOP5, which is a reasonable tradeoff to avoid duplicated code and the
unholy macro mess.

I encounter this when trying to stress the async page fault in L1 guest w/
L2 guests running.

Commit 9b132fbe5419 (Add rcu user eqs exception hooks for async page
fault) adds rcu_irq_enter/exit() to kvm_async_pf_task_wait() to exit cpu
idle eqs when needed, to protect the code that needs use rcu.  However,
we need to call the pair even if the function calls schedule(), as seen
from the above backtrace.

This patch fixes it by informing the RCU subsystem exit/enter the irq
towards/away from idle for both n.halted and !n.halted.
