This patch moves the detection whether a page-fault was
nested or not out of the error code and moves it into a
separate variable in the fault struct.

Change the interrupt injection code to work from preemptible, interrupts
enabled context. This works by adding a ->cancel_injection() operation
that undoes an injection in case we were not able to actually enter the guest
(this condition could never happen with atomic injection).

With Nested Paging emulation the NX state between the two
MMU contexts may differ. To make sure that always the right
fault error code is recorded this patch moves the NX state
into struct kvm_mmu so that the code can distinguish between
L1 and L2 NX state.

Currently the KVM softmmu implementation can not shadow a 32
bit legacy or PAE page table with a long mode page table.
This is a required feature for nested paging emulation
because the nested page table must alway be in host format.
So this patch implements the missing pieces to allow long
mode page tables for page table types.

This patch introduces a struct with two new fields in
vcpu_arch for x86:
* fault.address
* fault.error_code
This will be used to correctly propagate page faults back
into the guest when we could have either an ordinary page
fault or a nested page fault. In the case of a nested page
fault the fault-address is different from the original
address that should be walked. So we need to keep track
about the real fault-address.

Kernel time, which advances in discrete steps may progress much slower
than TSC. As a result, when kvmclock is adjusted to a new base, the
apparent time to the guest, which runs at a much higher, nsec scaled
rate based on the current TSC, may have already been observed to have
a larger value (kernel_ns + scaled tsc) than the value to which we are
setting it (kernel_ns + 0).
We must instead compute the clock as potentially observed by the guest
for kernel_ns to make sure it does not go backwards.

Doing this makes the code much more readable. That's
borne out by the fact that this patch removes code. "used"
also happens to be the number that we need to return back to
the slab code when our shrinker gets called. Keeping this
value as opposed to free makes the next patch simpler.
So, 'struct kvm' is kzalloc()'d. 'struct kvm_arch' is a
structure member (and not a pointer) of 'struct kvm'. That
means they start out zeroed. I _think_ they get initialized
properly by kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages(). But, that only happens
via kvm ioctls.
Another benefit of storing 'used' intead of 'free' is
that the values are consistent from the moment the structure is
allocated: no negative "used" value.

arch.n_alloc_mmu_pages is a poor choice of name. This value truly
means, "the number of pages which _may_ be allocated". But,
reading the name, "n_alloc_mmu_pages" implies "the number of allocated
mmu pages", which is dead wrong.
It's really the high watermark, so let's give it a name to match:
nr_max_mmu_pages. This change will make the next few patches
much more obvious and easy to read.

While debugging bit_spin_lock() hang, it was tracked down to gcc-4.4
misoptimization of non-inlined constant_test_bit() due to non-volatile
addr when 'const volatile unsigned long *addr' cast to 'unsigned long *'
with subsequent unconditional jump to pause (and not to the test) leading
to hang.
Compiling with gcc-4.3 or disabling CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING yields inlined
constant_test_bit() and correct jump, thus working around the kernel bug.
Other arches than asm-x86 may implement this slightly differently;
2.6.29 mitigates the misoptimization by changing the function prototype
(commit c4295fbb6048d85f0b41c5ced5cbf63f6811c46c) but probably fixing the issue
itself is better.

This patch adds a workaround for an IOMMU BIOS problem to
the AMD IOMMU driver. The result of the bug is that the
IOMMU does not execute commands anymore when the system
comes out of the S3 state resulting in system failure. The
bug in the BIOS is that is does not restore certain hardware
specific registers correctly. This workaround reads out the
contents of these registers at boot time and restores them
on resume from S3. The workaround is limited to the specific
IOMMU chipset where this problem occurs.

Lengths and types of breakpoints are encoded in a half byte
into CPU registers. However when we extract these values
and store them, we add a high half byte part to them: 0x40 to the
length and 0x80 to the type.
When that gets reloaded to the CPU registers, the high part
is masked.
While making the instruction breakpoints available for perf,
I zapped that high part on instruction breakpoint encoding
and that broke the arch -> generic translation used by ptrace
instruction breakpoints. Writing dr7 to set an inst breakpoint
was then failing.
There is no apparent reason for these high parts so we could get
rid of them altogether. That's an invasive change though so let's
do that later and for now fix the problem by restoring that inst
breakpoint high part encoding in this sole patch.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.
This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.
This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

This more or less reverts commits 08be979 (x86: Force HPET
readback_cmp for all ATI chipsets) and 30a564be (x86, hpet: Restrict
read back to affected ATI chipsets) to the status of commit 8da854c
(x86, hpet: Erratum workaround for read after write of HPET
comparator).
The delta to commit 8da854c is mostly comments and the change from
WARN_ONCE to printk_once as we know the call path of this function
already.
This needs really in depth explanation:
First of all the HPET design is a complete failure. Having a counter
compare register which generates an interrupt on matching values
forces the software to do at least one superfluous readback of the
counter register.
While it is nice in theory to program "absolute" time events it is
practically useless because the timer runs at some absurd frequency
which can never be matched to real world units. So we are forced to
calculate a relative delta and this forces a readout of the actual
counter value, adding the delta and programming the compare
register. When the delta is small enough we run into the danger that
we program a compare value which is already in the past. Due to the
compare for equal nature of HPET we need to read back the counter
value after writing the compare rehgister (btw. this is necessary for
absolute timeouts as well) to make sure that we did not miss the timer
event. We try to work around that by setting the minimum delta to a
value which is larger than the theoretical time which elapses between
the counter readout and the compare register write, but that's only
true in theory. A NMI or SMI which hits between the readout and the
write can easily push us beyond that limit. This would result in
waiting for the next HPET timer interrupt until the 32bit wraparound
of the counter happens which takes about 306 seconds.
So we designed the next event function to look like:
match = read_cnt() + delta;
write_compare_ref(match);
return read_cnt() < match ? 0 : -ETIME;
At some point we got into trouble with certain ATI chipsets. Even the
above "safe" procedure failed. The reason was that the write to the
compare register was delayed probably for performance reasons. The
theory was that they wanted to avoid the synchronization of the write
with the HPET clock, which is understandable. So the write does not
hit the compare register directly instead it goes to some intermediate
register which is copied to the real compare register in sync with the
HPET clock. That opens another window for hitting the dreaded "wait
for a wraparound" problem.
To work around that "optimization" we added a read back of the compare
register which either enforced the update of the just written value or
just delayed the readout of the counter enough to avoid the issue. We
unfortunately never got any affirmative info from ATI/AMD about this.
One thing is sure, that we nuked the performance "optimization" that
way completely and I'm pretty sure that the result is worse than
before some HW folks came up with those.
Just for paranoia reasons I added a check whether the read back
compare register value was the same as the value we wrote right
before. That paranoia check triggered a couple of years after it was
added on an Intel ICH9 chipset. Venki added a workaround (commit
8da854c) which was reading the compare register twice when the first
check failed. We considered this to be a penalty in general and
restricted the readback (thus the wasted CPU cycles) to the known to
be affected ATI chipsets.
This turned out to be a utterly wrong decision. 2.6.35 testers
experienced massive problems and finally one of them bisected it down
to commit 30a564be which spured some further investigation.
Finally we got confirmation that the write to the compare register can
be delayed by up to two HPET clock cycles which explains the problems
nicely. All we can do about this is to go back to Venki's initial
workaround in a slightly modified version.
Just for the record I need to say, that all of this could have been
avoided if hardware designers and of course the HPET committee would
have thought about the consequences for a split second. It's out of my
comprehension why designing a working timer is so hard. There are two
ways to achieve it:
1) Use a counter wrap around aware compare_reg <= counter_reg
implementation instead of the easy compare_reg == counter_reg
Downsides:
- It needs more silicon.
- It needs a readout of the counter to apply a relative
timeout. This is necessary as the counter does not run in
any useful (and adjustable) frequency and there is no
guarantee that the counter which is used for timer events is
the same which is used for reading the actual time (and
therefor for calculating the delta)
Upsides:
- None
2) Use a simple down counter for relative timer events
Downsides:
- Absolute timeouts are not possible, which is not a problem
at all in the context of an OS and the expected
max. latencies/jitter (also see Downsides of #1)
Upsides:
- It needs less or equal silicon.
- It works ALWAYS
- It is way faster than a compare register based solution (One
write versus one write plus at least one and up to four
reads)
I would not be so grumpy about all of this, if I would not have been
ignored for many years when pointing out these flaws to various
hardware folks. I really hate timers (at least those which seem to be
designed by janitors).
Though finally we got a reasonable explanation plus a solution and I
want to thank all the folks involved in chasing it down and providing
valuable input to this.
