<id>urn:sha1:ef9989afda73332df566852d6e9ca695c05f10ce</id>
<content type='text'>
When transitioning to/from guest mode, it is necessary to inform
lockdep, tracing, and RCU in a specific order, similar to the
requirements for transitions to/from user mode. Additionally, it is
necessary to perform vtime accounting for a window around running the
guest, with RCU enabled, such that timer interrupts taken from the guest
can be accounted as guest time.

Most architectures don't handle all the necessary pieces, and a have a
number of common bugs, including unsafe usage of RCU during the window
between guest_enter() and guest_exit().

On x86, this was dealt with across commits:

  87fa7f3e98a1310e ("x86/kvm: Move context tracking where it belongs")
  0642391e2139a2c1 ("x86/kvm/vmx: Add hardirq tracing to guest enter/exit")
  9fc975e9efd03e57 ("x86/kvm/svm: Add hardirq tracing on guest enter/exit")
  3ebccdf373c21d86 ("x86/kvm/vmx: Move guest enter/exit into .noinstr.text")
  135961e0a7d555fc ("x86/kvm/svm: Move guest enter/exit into .noinstr.text")
  160457140187c5fb ("KVM: x86: Defer vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling")
  bc908e091b326467 ("KVM: x86: Consolidate guest enter/exit logic to common helpers")

... but those fixes are specific to x86, and as the resulting logic
(while correct) is split across generic helper functions and
x86-specific helper functions, it is difficult to see that the
entry/exit accounting is balanced.

This patch adds generic helpers which architectures can use to handle
guest entry/exit consistently and correctly. The guest_{enter,exit}()
helpers are split into guest_timing_{enter,exit}() to perform vtime
accounting, and guest_context_{enter,exit}() to perform the necessary
context tracking and RCU management. The existing guest_{enter,exit}()
heleprs are left as wrappers of these.

Atop this, new guest_state_enter_irqoff() and guest_state_exit_irqoff()
helpers are added to handle the ordering of lockdep, tracing, and RCU
manageent. These are inteneded to mirror exit_to_user_mode() and
enter_from_user_mode().

Subsequent patches will migrate architectures over to the new helpers,
following a sequence:

	guest_timing_enter_irqoff();

	guest_state_enter_irqoff();
	&lt; run the vcpu &gt;
	guest_state_exit_irqoff();

	&lt; take any pending IRQs &gt;

	guest_timing_exit_irqoff();

This sequences handles all of the above correctly, and more clearly
balances the entry and exit portions, making it easier to understand.

The existing helpers are marked as deprecated, and will be removed once
all architectures have been converted.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<content type='text'>
Move the seemingly generic block_vcpu_list from kvm_vcpu to vcpu_vmx, and
rename the list and all associated variables to clarify that it tracks
the set of vCPU that need to be poked on a posted interrupt to the wakeup
vector.  The list is not used to track _all_ vCPUs that are blocking, and
the term "blocked" can be misleading as it may refer to a blocking
condition in the host or the guest, where as the PI wakeup case is
specifically for the vCPUs that are actively blocking from within the
guest.

No functional change intended.

This adds basic support for delivering 2 level event channels to a guest.

Initially, it only supports delivery via the IRQ routing table, triggered
by an eventfd. In order to do so, it has a kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast()
function which will use the pre-mapped shared_info page if it already
exists and is still valid, while the slow path through the irqfd_inject
workqueue will remap the shared_info page if necessary.

It sets the bits in the shared_info page but not the vcpu_info; that is
deferred to __kvm_xen_has_interrupt() which raises the vector to the
appropriate vCPU.

Add a 'verbose' mode to xen_shinfo_test while adding test cases for this.

<title>KVM: Reinstate gfn_to_pfn_cache with invalidation support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:982ed0de4753ed6e71dbd40f82a5a066baf133ed</id>
<content type='text'>
This can be used in two modes. There is an atomic mode where the cached
mapping is accessed while holding the rwlock, and a mode where the
physical address is used by a vCPU in guest mode.

For the latter case, an invalidation will wake the vCPU with the new
KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE, and the architecture will need to refresh any
caches it still needs to access before entering guest mode again.

Only one vCPU can be targeted by the wake requests; it's simple enough
to make it wake all vCPUs or even a mask but I don't see a use case for
that additional complexity right now.

Invalidation happens from the invalidate_range_start MMU notifier, which
needs to be able to sleep in order to wake the vCPU and wait for it.

This means that revalidation potentially needs to "wait" for the MMU
operation to complete and the invalidate_range_end notifier to be
invoked. Like the vCPU when it takes a page fault in that period, we
just spin — fixing that in a future patch by implementing an actual
*wait* may be another part of shaving this particularly hirsute yak.

As noted in the comments in the function itself, the only case where
the invalidate_range_start notifier is expected to be called *without*
being able to sleep is when the OOM reaper is killing the process. In
that case, we expect the vCPU threads already to have exited, and thus
there will be nothing to wake, and no reason to wait. So we clear the
KVM_REQUEST_WAIT bit and send the request anyway, then complain loudly
if there actually *was* anything to wake up.
