was a pretty active cycle for KVM. Changes include:
- a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration,
GDB support and more
- ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall
interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by Catalin)
- initial POWER8 and little-endian host support
- support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets
- pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace interface
and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware
- for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17. Still,
we have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested
fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have
always worked). And some optimizations too.
The only missing architecture here is ia64. It's not a coincidence
that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17.

Here is the big USB driver pull request for 3.16-rc1.
Nothing huge here, but lots of little things in the USB core, and in
lots of drivers. Hopefully the USB power management will be work better
now that it has been reworked to do per-port power control dynamically.
There's also a raft of gadget driver updates and fixes, CONFIG_USB_DEBUG
is finally gone now that everything has been converted over to the
dynamic debug inteface, the last hold-out drivers were cleaned up and
the config option removed. There were also other minor things all
through the drivers/usb/ tree, the shortlog shows this pretty well.
All have been in linux-next, including the very last patch, which came
from linux-next to fix a build issue on some platforms.

While I play inhouse patches with much memory pressure on qemu-kvm,
3.14 kernel was randomly crashed. The reason was kernel stack overflow.
When I investigated the problem, the callstack was a little bit deeper
by involve with reclaim functions but not direct reclaim path.
I tried to diet stack size of some functions related with alloc/reclaim
so did a hundred of byte but overflow was't disappeard so that I encounter
overflow by another deeper callstack on reclaim/allocator path.
Of course, we might sweep every sites we have found for reducing
stack usage but I'm not sure how long it saves the world(surely,
lots of developer start to add nice features which will use stack
agains) and if we consider another more complex feature in I/O layer
and/or reclaim path, it might be better to increase stack size(
meanwhile, stack usage on 64bit machine was doubled compared to 32bit
while it have sticked to 8K. Hmm, it's not a fair to me and arm64
already expaned to 16K. )
So, my stupid idea is just let's expand stack size and keep an eye
toward stack consumption on each kernel functions via stacktrace of ftrace.
For example, we can have a bar like that each funcion shouldn't exceed 200K
and emit the warning when some function consumes more in runtime.
Of course, it could make false positive but at least, it could make a
chance to think over it.
I guess this topic was discussed several time so there might be
strong reason not to increase kernel stack size on x86_64, for me not
knowing so Ccing x86_64 maintainers, other MM guys and virtio
maintainers.
Here's an example call trace using up the kernel stack:

[ Note: the problem is exacerbated by certain gcc versions that seem to
generate much bigger stack frames due to apparently bad coalescing of
temporaries and generating too many spills. Rusty saw gcc-4.6.4 using
35% more stack on the virtio path than 4.8.2 does, for example.
Minchan not only uses such a bad gcc version (4.6.3 in his case), but
some of the stack use is due to debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is
what causes that kernel_map_pages() frame, for example). But we're
clearly getting too close.
The VM code also seems to have excessive stack frames partly for the
same compiler reason, triggered by excessive inlining and lots of
function arguments.
We need to improve on our stack use, but in the meantime let's do this
simple stack increase too. Unlike most earlier reports, there is
nothing simple that stands out as being really horribly wrong here,
apart from the fact that the stack frames are just bigger than they
should need to be. - Linus ]

equal 3, it expects the second operand to be in memory.

When Hyper-V enlightenments are in effect, Windows prefers to issue an
Hyper-V MSR write to issue an EOI rather than an x2apic MSR write.
The Hyper-V MSR write is not handled by the processor, and besides
being slower, this also causes bugs with APIC virtualization. The
reason is that on EOI the processor will modify the highest in-service
interrupt (SVI) field of the VMCS, as explained in section 29.1.4 of
the SDM; every other step in EOI virtualization is already done by
apic_send_eoi or on VM entry, but this one is missing.
We need to do the same, and be careful not to muck with the isr_count
and highest_isr_cache fields that are unused when virtual interrupt
delivery is enabled.

I noticed on some of my systems that page fault tracing doesn't
work:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo 1 > events/exceptions/enable
cat trace;
# nothing shows up
I eventually traced it down to CONFIG_KVM_GUEST. At least in a
KVM VM, enabling that option breaks page fault tracing, and
disabling fixes it. I tried on some old kernels and this does
not appear to be a regression: it never worked.
There are two page-fault entry functions today. One when tracing
is on and another when it is off. The KVM code calls do_page_fault()
directly instead of calling the traced version:
> dotraplinkage void __kprobes
> do_async_page_fault(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long
> error_code)
> {
> enum ctx_state prev_state;
>
> switch (kvm_read_and_reset_pf_reason()) {
> default:
> do_page_fault(regs, error_code);
> break;
> case KVM_PV_REASON_PAGE_NOT_PRESENT:
I'm also having problems with the page fault tracing on bare
metal (same symptom of no trace output). I'm unsure if it's
related.
Steven had an alternative to this which has zero overhead when
tracing is off where this includes the standard noops even when
tracing is disabled. I'm unconvinced that the extra complexity
of his apporach:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140508194508.561ed220@gandalf.local.home
is worth it, expecially considering that the KVM code is already
making page fault entry slower here. This solution is
dirt-simple.

CS.RPL is not equal to the CPL in the few instructions between
setting CR0.PE and reloading CS. And CS.DPL is also not equal
to the CPL for conforming code segments.
However, SS.DPL *is* always equal to the CPL except for the weird
case of SYSRET on AMD processors, which sets SS.DPL=SS.RPL from the
value in the STAR MSR, but force CPL=3 (Intel instead forces
SS.DPL=SS.RPL=CPL=3).
So this patch:
- modifies SVM to update the CPL from SS.DPL rather than CS.RPL;
the above case with SYSRET is not broken further, and the way
to fix it would be to pass the CPL to userspace and back
- modifies VMX to always return the CPL from SS.DPL (except
forcing it to 0 if we are emulating real mode via vm86 mode;
in vm86 mode all DPLs have to be 3, but real mode does allow
privileged instructions). It also removes the CPL cache,
which becomes a duplicate of the SS access rights cache.
This fixes doing KVM_IOCTL_SET_SREGS exactly after setting
CR0.PE=1 but before CS has been reloaded.

Table 7-1 of the SDM mentions a check that the code segment's
DPL must match the selector's RPL. This was not done by KVM,
fix it.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
During task switch, all of CS.DPL, CS.RPL, SS.DPL must match (in addition
to all the other requirements) and will be the new CPL. So far this
worked by carefully setting the CS selector and flag before doing the
task switch; setting CS.selector will already change the CPL.
However, this will not work once we get the CPL from SS.DPL, because
then you will have to set the full segment descriptor cache to change
the CPL. ctxt->ops->cpl(ctxt) will then return the old CPL during the
task switch, and the check that SS.DPL == CPL will fail.
Temporarily assume that the CPL comes from CS.RPL during task switch
to a protected-mode task. This is the same approach used in QEMU's
emulation code, which (until version 2.0) manually tracks the CPL.

The BIOS is supposed to provide ACPI _PXM methods for PCI host bridges if
it cares about platform topology. But some BIOSes do not, so add Fam15h
to the list of CPUs for which we fall back to reading node numbers from the
hardware.
Note that pci_acpi_scan_root() warns about the BIOS bug if we use this
information because (1) the hardware node numbers are not necessarily
compatible with other logical node numbers from ACPI, and (2) the lack of
_PXM forces OS updates that would not otherwise be required.

The vast majority of platforms are not supplying ACPI _PXM (proximity)
information corresponding to host bridge (PNP0A03/PNP0A08) devices
resulting in sysfs "numa_node" values of -1 (NUMA_NO_NODE):
# for i in /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/*/numa_node; do cat $i; done | uniq
-1
# find /sys/ -name "numa_node" | while read fname; do cat $fname; \
done | uniq
-1
AMD based platforms provide a fall-back for this situation via amd_bus.c.
These platforms snoop out the information by directly reading specific
registers from the Northbridge and caching them via alloc_pci_root_info().
Later during boot processing when host bridges are discovered -
pci_acpi_scan_root() - the kernel looks for their corresponding ACPI _PXM
method - drivers/acpi/numa.c::acpi_get_node(). If the BIOS supplied a _PXM
method then that node (proximity) value is associated. If the BIOS did not
supply a _PXM method *and* the platform is AMD-based, the fall-back cached
values obtained directly from the Northbridge are used; otherwise,
"NUMA_NO_NODE" is associated.
There are a number of issues with this fall-back mechanism the most notable
being that amd_bus.c extracts a 3-bit number from a CPU register and uses
it as the node number. The node numbers used by Linux are logical and
there's no reason they need to be identical to settings in the CPU
registers. So if we have some node information obtained in the normal way
(from _PXM, SLIT, SRAT, etc.) and some from amd_bus.c, there's no reason to
believe they will be compatible.
This patch warns when this situation occurs:
pci_root PNP0A08:00: [Firmware Bug]: no _PXM; falling back to node 0 from hardware (may be inconsistent with ACPI node numbers)
