Add code to the fork path which forces the shared bitmap to be duplicated and the reference count to be dropped. Verify that the child modifications did not affect the parent. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The I/O bitmap is duplicated on fork. That's wasting memory and slows down fork. There is no point to do so. As long as the bitmap is not modified it can be shared between threads and processes. Add a refcount and just share it on fork. If a task modifies the bitmap then it has to do the duplication if and only if it is shared.

If ioperm() results in a bitmap with all bits set (no permissions to any I/O port), then handling that bitmap on context switch and exit to user mode is pointless. Drop it. Move the bitmap exit handling to the ioport code and reuse it for both the thread exit path and dropping it. This allows to reuse this code for the upcoming iopl() emulation.

There is no point to update the TSS bitmap for tasks which use I/O bitmaps on every context switch. It's enough to update it right before exiting to user space. That reduces the context switch bitmap handling to invalidating the io bitmap base offset in the TSS when the outgoing task has TIF_IO_BITMAP set. The invaldiation is done on purpose when a task with an IO bitmap switches out to prevent any possible leakage of an activated IO bitmap. It also removes the requirement to update the tasks bitmap atomically in ioperm(). Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Thomas Gleixner authored
Add a globally unique sequence number which is incremented when ioperm() is changing the I/O bitmap of a task. Store the new sequence number in the io_bitmap structure and compare it with the sequence number of the I/O bitmap which was last loaded on a CPU. Only update the bitmap if the sequence is different. That should further reduce the overhead of I/O bitmap scheduling when there are only a few I/O bitmap users on the system. The 64bit sequence counter is sufficient. A wraparound of the sequence counter assuming an ioperm() call every nanosecond would require about 584 years of uptime.

No point in having all the data in thread_struct, especially as upcoming changes add more. Make the bitmap in the new struct accessible as array of longs and as array of characters via a union, so both the bitmap functions and the update logic can avoid type casts.

Thomas Gleixner authored
There is no requirement to update the TSS I/O bitmap when a thread using it is scheduled out and the incoming thread does not use it. For the permission check based on the TSS I/O bitmap the CPU calculates the memory location of the I/O bitmap by the address of the TSS and the io_bitmap_base member of the tss_struct. The easiest way to invalidate the I/O bitmap is to switch the offset to an address outside of the TSS limit. If an I/O instruction is issued from user space the TSS limit causes #GP to be raised in the same was as valid I/O bitmap with all bits set to 1 would do. This removes the extra work when an I/O bitmap using task is scheduled out and puts the burden on the rare I/O bitmap users when they are scheduled in.

If ioperm() is invoked the first time and the @turn_on argument is 0, then there is no point to allocate a bitmap just to clear permissions which are not set. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Thomas Gleixner authored
On the first allocation of a task the I/O bitmap needs to be allocated. After the allocation it is installed as an empty bitmap and immediately afterwards updated. Avoid that and just do the initial updates (store bitmap pointer, set TIF flag and make TSS limit valid) in the update path unconditionally. If the bitmap was already active this is redundant but harmless. Preparatory change for later optimizations in the context switch code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The BUILD_BUG_ON(IO_BITMAP_OFFSET - 1 == 0x67) in the VMX code is bogus in two aspects: 1) This wants to be in generic x86 code simply to catch issues even when VMX is disabled in Kconfig. 2) The IO_BITMAP_OFFSET is not the right thing to check because it makes asssumptions about the layout of tss_struct. Nothing requires that the I/O bitmap is placed right after x86_tss, which is the hardware mandated tss structure. It pointlessly makes restrictions on the struct tss_struct layout. The proper thing to check is: - Offset of x86_tss in tss_struct is 0 - Size of x86_tss == 0x68 Move it to the other build time TSS checks and make it do the right thing.

While looking at the TSS io bitmap it turned out that any change in that area would require identical changes to copy_thread_tls(). The 32 and 64 bit variants share sufficient code to consolidate them into a common function to avoid duplication of upcoming modifications.

The active() callback of the IO bitmap regset divides the IO bitmap size by the word size (32/64 bit). As the I/O bitmap size is in bytes the active check fails for bitmap sizes of 1-3 bytes on 32bit and 1-7 bytes on 64bit. Use DIV_ROUND_UP() instead.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Fixes 2019-11-08 This series contains fixes to igb, igc, ixgbe, i40e, iavf and ice drivers. Colin Ian King fixes a potentially wrap-around counter in a for-loop. Nick fixes the default ITR values for the iavf driver to 50 usecs interval. Arkadiusz fixes 'ethtool -m' for X722 devices where the correct value cannot be obtained from the firmware, so add X722 to the check to ensure the wrong value is not returned. Jake fixes igb and igc drivers in their implementation of launch time support by declaring skb->tstamp value as ktime_t instead of s64.

The need_wakeup flag for Tx might not be set for AF_XDP sockets that are only used to send packets. This happens if there is at least one outstanding packet that has not been completed by the hardware and we get that corresponding completion (which will not generate an interrupt since interrupts are disabled in the napi poll loop) between the time we stopped processing the Tx completions and interrupts are enabled again. In this case, the need_wakeup flag will have been cleared at the end of the Tx completion processing as we believe we will get an interrupt from the outstanding completion at a later point in time. But if this completion interrupt occurs before interrupts are enable, we lose it and should at that point really have set the need_wakeup flag since there are no more outstanding completions that can generate an interrupt to continue the processing. When this happens, user space will see a Tx queue need_wakeup of 0 and skip issuing a syscall, which means will never get into the Tx processing again and we have a deadlock. This patch introduces a quick fix for this issue by just setting the need_wakeup flag for Tx to 1 all the time. I am working on a proper fix for this that will toggle the flag appropriately, but it is more challenging than I anticipated and I am afraid that this patch will not be completed before the merge window closes, therefore this easier fix for now. This fix has a negative performance impact in the range of 0% to 4%. Towards the higher end of the scale if you have driver and application on the same core and issue a lot of packets, and towards no negative impact if you use two cores, lower transmission speeds and/or a workload that also receives packets.

When implementing launch time support in the igb and igc drivers, the skb->tstamp value is assumed to be a s64, but it's declared as a ktime_t value. Although ktime_t is typedef'd to s64 it wasn't always, and the kernel provides accessors for ktime_t values. Use the ktime_to_timespec64 and ktime_set accessors instead of directly assuming that the variable is always an s64. This improves portability if the code is ever moved to another kernel version, or if the definition of ktime_t ever changes again in the future.

Since commit 92418fb1 ("i40e/i40evf: Use usec value instead of reg value for ITR defines") the driver tracks the interrupt throttling intervals in single usec units, although the actual ITRN registers are programmed in 2 usec units. Most register programming flows in the driver correctly handle the conversion, although it is currently not applied when the registers are initialized to their default values. Most of the time this doesn't present a problem since the default values are usually immediately overwritten through the standard adaptive throttling mechanism, or updated manually by the user, but if adaptive throttling is disabled and the interval values are left alone then the incorrect value will persist. Since the intended default interval of 50 usecs (vs. 100 usecs as programmed) performs better for most traffic workloads, this can lead to performance regressions. This patch adds the correct conversion when writing the initial values to the ITRN registers.

Currently the for-loop counter i is a u8 however it is being checked against a maximum value hw->num_tx_sched_layers which is a u16. Hence there is a potential wrap-around of counter i back to zero if hw->num_tx_sched_layers is greater than 255. Fix this by making i a u16.
