On 32-bit kernels, the stackprotector canary is quite nasty -- it is
stored at %gs:(20), which is nasty because 32-bit kernels use %fs for
percpu storage. It's even nastier because it means that whether %gs
contains userspace state or kernel state while running kernel code
depends on whether stackprotector is enabled (this is
CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS), and this setting radically changes the way
that segment selectors work. Supporting both variants is a
maintenance and testing mess.
Merely rearranging so that percpu and the stack canary
share the same segment would be messy as the 32-bit percpu address
layout isn't currently compatible with putting a variable at a fixed
offset.
Fortunately, GCC 8.1 added options that allow the stack canary to be
accessed as %fs:__stack_chk_guard, effectively turning it into an ordinary
percpu variable. This lets us get rid of all of the code to manage the
stack canary GDT descriptor and the CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS mess.
(That name is special. We could use any symbol we want for the
%fs-relative mode, but for CONFIG_SMP=n, gcc refuses to let us use any
name other than __stack_chk_guard.)
Forcibly disable stackprotector on older compilers that don't support
the new options and turn the stack canary into a percpu variable. The
"lazy GS" approach is now used for all 32-bit configurations.
Also makes load_gs_index() work on 32-bit kernels. On 64-bit kernels,
it loads the GS selector and updates the user GSBASE accordingly. (This
is unchanged.) On 32-bit kernels, it loads the GS selector and updates
GSBASE, which is now always the user base. This means that the overall
effect is the same on 32-bit and 64-bit, which avoids some ifdeffery.

There's a non-trivial conflict between the parallel TLB flush
framework and the IPI flush debugging code - merge them
manually.
Conflicts:
kernel/smp.c
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
To improve TLB shootdown performance, flush the remote and local TLBs
concurrently. Introduce flush_tlb_multi() that does so. Introduce
paravirtual versions of flush_tlb_multi() for KVM, Xen and hyper-v (Xen
and hyper-v are only compile-tested).
While the updated smp infrastructure is capable of running a function on
a single local core, it is not optimized for this case. The multiple
function calls and the indirect branch introduce some overhead, and
might make local TLB flushes slower than they were before the recent
changes.
Before calling the SMP infrastructure, check if only a local TLB flush
is needed to restore the lost performance in this common case. This
requires to check mm_cpumask() one more time, but unless this mask is
updated very frequently, this should impact performance negatively.

The unification of these two functions allows to use them in the updated
SMP infrastrucutre.
To do so, remove the reason argument from flush_tlb_func_local(), add
a member to struct tlb_flush_info that says which CPU initiated the
flush and act accordingly. Optimize the size of flush_tlb_info while we
are at it.
Unfortunately, this prevents us from using a constant tlb_flush_info for
arch_tlbbatch_flush(), but in a later stage we may be able to inline
tlb_flush_info into the IPI data, so it should not have an impact
eventually.

When compiling an external kernel module with `-O0` or `-O1`, the following
compile error may be reported:
./arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h:25:2: error: impossible constraint in ‘asm’

It appears that these lower optimization levels prevent GCC from detecting
that the key/branch arguments can be treated as constants and used as
immediate operands. To work around this, explicitly add the `const` label.

Xen/gnttab: handle p2m update errors on a per-slot basis
Since commit 9e2369c06c ("xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated
memory") foreign mappings are using guest physical addresses allocated
via ZONE_DEVICE functionality.
This will result in problems for the case of no balloon memory hotplug
being configured, as the p2m list will only cover the initial memory
size of the domain. Any ZONE_DEVICE allocated address will be outside
the p2m range and thus a mapping can't be established with that memory
address.
Fix that by extending the p2m size for that case. At the same time add
a check for a to be created mapping to be within the p2m limits in
order to detect errors early.
While changing a comment, remove some 32-bit leftovers.
This is XSA-369.

This is how Xen guests do steal time accounting. The hypervisor records
the amount of time spent in each of running/runnable/blocked/offline
states.
In the Xen accounting, a vCPU is still in state RUNSTATE_running while
in Xen for a hypercall or I/O trap, etc. Only if Xen explicitly schedules
does the state become RUNSTATE_blocked. In KVM this means that even when
the vCPU exits the kvm_run loop, the state remains RUNSTATE_running.
The VMM can explicitly set the vCPU to RUNSTATE_blocked by using the
KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_CURRENT attribute, and can also use
KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_ADJUST to retrospectively add a given
amount of time to the blocked state and subtract it from the running
state.
The state_entry_time corresponds to get_kvmclock_ns() at the time the
vCPU entered the current state, and the total times of all four states
should always add up to state_entry_time.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Core scheduler updates:
- Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the
preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full), to allow
distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to close to
PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling behavior via
a boot time selection.
There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime.
This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of
static calls).
The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking
at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c.
( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical,
for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the
preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime
overhead even with the code patching. )
The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast
majority of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected.
- Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that
was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that
rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after
the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it
by chance but many others don't.
In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch
scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address the
underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the initial
fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug.
- Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the
following consistent set of rbtree APIs:
partial-order; less() based:
- rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
- rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached
total-order; cmp() based:
- rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
- rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found
- rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
- rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
- rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two

Stop setting dirty bits for MMU pages when dirty logging is disabled for
a memslot, as PML is now completely disabled when there are no memslots
with dirty logging enabled.
This means that spurious PML entries will be created for memslots with
dirty logging disabled if at least one other memslot has dirty logging
enabled. However, spurious PML entries are already possible since
dirty bits are set only when a dirty logging is turned off, i.e. memslots
that are never dirty logged will have dirty bits cleared.
In the end, it's faster overall to eat a few spurious PML entries in the
window where dirty logging is being disabled across all memslots.

Currently, if enable_pml=1 PML remains enabled for the entire lifetime
of the VM irrespective of whether dirty logging is enable or disabled.
When dirty logging is disabled, all the pages of the VM are manually
marked dirty, so that PML is effectively non-operational. Setting
the dirty bits is an expensive operation which can cause severe MMU
lock contention in a performance sensitive path when dirty logging is
disabled after a failed or canceled live migration.
Manually setting dirty bits also fails to prevent PML activity if some
code path clears dirty bits, which can incur unnecessary VM-Exits.
In order to avoid this extra overhead, dynamically enable/disable PML
when dirty logging gets turned on/off for the first/last memslot.

Drop the facade of KVM's PML logic being vendor specific and move the
bits that aren't truly VMX specific into common x86 code. The MMU logic
for dealing with PML is tightly coupled to the feature and to VMX's
implementation, bouncing through kvm_x86_ops obfuscates the code without
providing any meaningful separation of concerns or encapsulation.
No functional change intended.

Use the new EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_TRAMP() / static_call_mod() to unexport
the static_call_key for the PREEMPT_DYNAMIC calls such that modules
can no longer update these calls.
Having modules change/hi-jack the preemption calls would be horrible.

When exporting static_call_key; with EXPORT_STATIC_CALL*(), the module
can use static_call_update() to change the function called. This is
not desirable in general.
Not exporting static_call_key however also disallows usage of
static_call(), since objtool needs the key to construct the
static_call_site.
Solve this by allowing objtool to create the static_call_site using
the trampoline address when it builds a module and cannot find the
static_call_key symbol. The module loader will then try and map the
trampole back to a key before it constructs the normal sites list.
Doing this requires a trampoline -> key associsation, so add another
magic section that keeps those.

preempt= is overriden.
Since the default behaviour is full preemption, both their calls are
