| * | x86, kvm: Fix kvm's use of __pa() on percpu areasDave Hansen2013-01-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In short, it is illegal to call __pa() on an address holding a percpu variable. This replaces those __pa() calls with slow_virt_to_phys(). All of the cases in this patch are in boot time (or CPU hotplug time at worst) code, so the slow pagetable walking in slow_virt_to_phys() is not expected to have a performance impact. The times when this actually matters are pretty obscure (certain 32-bit NUMA systems), but it _does_ happen. It is important to keep KVM guests working on these systems because the real hardware is getting harder and harder to find. This bug manifested first by me seeing a plain hang at boot after this message: CPU 0 irqstacks, hard=f3018000 soft=f301a000 or, sometimes, it would actually make it out to the console: [ 0.000000] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff I eventually traced it down to the KVM async pagefault code. This can be worked around by disabling that code either at compile-time, or on the kernel command-line. The kvm async pagefault code was injecting page faults in to the guest which the guest misinterpreted because its "reason" was not being properly sent from the host. The guest passes a physical address of an per-cpu async page fault structure via an MSR to the host. Since __pa() is broken on percpu data, the physical address it sent was bascially bogus and the host went scribbling on random data. The guest never saw the real reason for the page fault (it was injected by the host), assumed that the kernel had taken a _real_ page fault, and panic()'d. The behavior varied, though, depending on what got corrupted by the bad write.

* x86: kvmclock: abstract save/restore sched_clock_stateMarcelo Tosatti2012-03-201-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Upon resume from hibernation, CPU 0's hvclock area contains the old values for system_time and tsc_timestamp. It is necessary for the hypervisor to update these values with uptodate ones before the CPU uses them. Abstract TSC's save/restore sched_clock_state functions and use restore_state to write to KVM_SYSTEM_TIME MSR, forcing an update. Also move restore_sched_clock_state before __restore_processor_state, since the later calls CONFIG_LOCK_STAT's lockstat_clock (also for TSC). Thanks to Igor Mammedov for tracking it down.

* x86: Introduce x86_cpuinit.early_percpu_clock_init hookIgor Mammedov2012-03-051-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When kvm guest uses kvmclock, it may hang on vcpu hot-plug. This is caused by an overflow in pvclock_get_nsec_offset, u64 delta = tsc - shadow->tsc_timestamp; which in turn is caused by an undefined values from percpu hv_clock that hasn't been initialized yet. Uninitialized clock on being booted cpu is accessed from start_secondary -> smp_callin -> smp_store_cpu_info -> identify_secondary_cpu -> mtrr_ap_init -> mtrr_restore -> stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu -> queue_stop_cpus_work ... -> sched_clock -> kvm_clock_read which is well before x86_cpuinit.setup_percpu_clockev call in start_secondary, where percpu clock is initialized. This patch introduces a hook that allows to setup/initialize per_cpu clock early and avoid overflow due to reading - undefined values - old values if cpu was offlined and then onlined again Another possible early user of this clock source is ftrace that accesses it to get timestamps for ring buffer entries. So if mtrr_ap_init is moved from identify_secondary_cpu to past x86_cpuinit.setup_percpu_clockev in start_secondary, ftrace may cause the same overflow/hang on cpu hot-plug anyway.

* KVM guest: prevent tracing recursion with kvmclockAvi Kivity2011-11-201-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and prevents the recursion.

In theory, we could just try to use them and get a return value indicating they do not exist, due to our use of kvm_write_msr_save. However, kvm clock registration happens very early, and if we ever try to write to a non-existant MSR, we raise a lethal #GP, since our idt handlers are not in place yet. So this patch tests for a cpuid feature exported by the host to decide which set of msrs are supported.
