Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini: "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features. Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures). This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests). This also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future. ARM/ARM64: The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page tracking s390: Several optimizations and bugfixes. Also a first: a feature exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :) MIPS: Bugfixes. x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation fixes. There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually. Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you have already included his tree. Powerpc: Nothing yet. The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers, because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being offline for some part of next week" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (130 commits) KVM: ia64: drop kvm.h from installed user headers KVM: x86: fix build with !CONFIG_SMP KVM: x86: emulate: correct page fault error code for NoWrite instructions KVM: Disable compat ioctl for s390 KVM: s390: add cpu model support KVM: s390: use facilities and cpu_id per KVM KVM: s390/CPACF: Choose crypto control block format s390/kernel: Update /proc/sysinfo file with Extended Name and UUID KVM: s390: reenable LPP facility KVM: s390: floating irqs: fix user triggerable endless loop kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter kvm: remove KVM_MMIO_SIZE KVM: MIPS: Don't leak FPU/DSP to guest KVM: MIPS: Disable HTW while in guest KVM: nVMX: Enable nested posted interrupt processing KVM: nVMX: Enable nested virtual interrupt delivery KVM: nVMX: Enable nested apic register virtualization KVM: nVMX: Make nested control MSRs per-cpu KVM: nVMX: Enable nested virtualize x2apic mode KVM: nVMX: Prepare for using hardware MSR bitmap ...

arm: drop L_PTE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers

2015-02-10T22:30:31+00:00

We've replaced remap_file_pages(2) implementation with emulation. Nobody creates non-linear mapping anymore. This patch also adjust __SWP_TYPE_SHIFT, effectively increase size of possible swap file to 128G. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

KVM: arm: Add initial dirty page locking support

2015-01-16T13:40:14+00:00

Add support for initial write protection of VM memslots. This patch series assumes that huge PUDs will not be used in 2nd stage tables, which is always valid on ARMv7 Acked-by: Christoffer Dall Signed-off-by: Mario Smarduch

arm: mm: enable RCU fast_gup

2014-10-10T02:26:01+00:00

Activate the RCU fast_gup for ARM. We also need to force THP splits to broadcast an IPI s.t. we block in the fast_gup page walker. As THP splits are comparatively rare, this should not lead to a noticeable performance degradation. Some pre-requisite functions pud_write and pud_page are also added.

arm: mm: introduce special ptes for LPAE

2014-10-10T02:26:00+00:00

We need a mechanism to tag ptes as being special, this indicates that no attempt should be made to access the underlying struct page * associated with the pte. This is used by the fast_gup when operating on ptes as it has no means to access VMAs (that also contain this information) locklessly. The L_PTE_SPECIAL bit is already allocated for LPAE, this patch modifies pte_special and pte_mkspecial to make use of it, and defines __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL. This patch also excludes special ptes from the icache/dcache sync logic.

ARM: 8109/1: mm: Modify pte_write and pmd_write logic for LPAE

2014-07-24T13:27:08+00:00

For LPAE, we have the following means for encoding writable or dirty ptes: L_PTE_DIRTY L_PTE_RDONLY !pte_dirty && !pte_write 0 1 !pte_dirty && pte_write 0 1 pte_dirty && !pte_write 1 1 pte_dirty && pte_write 1 0 So we can't distinguish between writeable clean ptes and read only ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as read only when they are writeable but not dirty. This patch renumbers L_PTE_RDONLY from AP[2] to a software bit #58, and adds additional logic to set AP[2] whenever the pte is read only or not dirty. That way we can distinguish between clean writeable ptes and read only ptes. HugeTLB pages will use this new logic automatically. We need to add some logic to Transparent HugePages to ensure that they correctly interpret the revised pgprot permissions (L_PTE_RDONLY has moved and no longer matches PMD_SECT_AP2). In the process of revising THP, the names of the PMD software bits have been prefixed with L_ to make them easier to distinguish from their hardware bit counterparts.

ARM: 8108/1: mm: Introduce {pte,pmd}_isset and {pte,pmd}_isclear

2014-07-24T13:27:07+00:00

Long descriptors on ARM are 64 bits, and some pte functions such as pte_dirty return a bitwise-and of a flag with the pte value. If the flag to be tested resides in the upper 32 bits of the pte, then we run into the danger of the result being dropped if downcast. For example: gather_stats(page, md, pte_dirty(*pte), 1); where pte_dirty(*pte) is downcast to an int. This patch introduces a new macro pte_isset which performs the bitwise and, then performs a double logical invert (where needed) to ensure predictable downcasting. The logical inverse pte_isclear is also introduced. Equivalent pmd functions for Transparent HugePages have also been added.

ARM: 7950/1: mm: Fix stage-2 device memory attributes

2014-02-10T11:44:05+00:00

The stage-2 memory attributes are distinct from the Hyp memory attributes and the Stage-1 memory attributes. We were using the stage-1 memory attributes for stage-2 mappings causing device mappings to be mapped as normal memory. Add the S2 equivalent defines for memory attributes and fix the comments explaining the defines while at it. Add a prot_pte_s2 field to the mem_type struct and fill out the field for device mappings accordingly.
