      locking/mutex: Rework mutex::owner · 3ca0ff57
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      The current mutex implementation has an atomic lock word and a
      non-atomic owner field.
      
      This disparity leads to a number of issues with the current mutex code
      as it means that we can have a locked mutex without an explicit owner
      (because the owner field has not been set, or already cleared).
      
      This leads to a number of weird corner cases, esp. between the
      optimistic spinning and debug code. Where the optimistic spinning
      code needs the owner field updated inside the lock region, the debug
      code is more relaxed because the whole lock is serialized by the
      wait_lock.
      
      Also, the spinning code itself has a few corner cases where we need to
      deal with a held lock without an owner field.
      
      Furthermore, it becomes even more of a problem when trying to fix
      starvation cases in the current code. We end up stacking special case
      on special case.
      
      To solve this rework the basic mutex implementation to be a single
      atomic word that contains the owner and uses the low bits for extra
      state.
      
      This matches how PI futexes and rt_mutex already work. By having the
      owner an integral part of the lock state a lot of the problems
      dissapear and we get a better option to deal with starvation cases,
      direct owner handoff.
      
      Changing the basic mutex does however invalidate all the arch specific
      mutex code; this patch leaves that unused in-place, a later patch will
      remove that.

      mm: unexport __get_user_pages() · 0d731759
      Lorenzo Stoakes authored
      This patch unexports the low-level __get_user_pages() function.
      
      Recent refactoring of the get_user_pages* functions allow flags to be
      passed through get_user_pages() which eliminates the need for access to
      this function from its one user, kvm.
      
      We can see that the two calls to get_user_pages() which replace
      __get_user_pages() in kvm_main.c are equivalent by examining their call
      stacks:
      
        get_user_page_nowait():
          get_user_pages(start, 1, flags, page, NULL)
          __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, start, 1, page, NULL, NULL,
      			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
          __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1,
      		     flags | FOLL_TOUCH | FOLL_GET, page, NULL, NULL)
      
        check_user_page_hwpoison():
          get_user_pages(addr, 1, flags, NULL, NULL)
          __get_user_pages_locked(current, current->mm, addr, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL,
      			    false, flags | FOLL_TOUCH)
          __get_user_pages(current, current->mm, addr, 1, flags | FOLL_TOUCH, NULL,
      		     NULL, NULL)

      proc: don't use FOLL_FORCE for reading cmdline and environment · 272ddc8b
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Now that Lorenzo cleaned things up and made the FOLL_FORCE users
      explicit, it becomes obvious how some of them don't really need
      FOLL_FORCE at all.
      
      So remove FOLL_FORCE from the proc code that reads the command line and
      arguments from user space.
      
      The mem_rw() function actually does want FOLL_FORCE, because gdd (and
      possibly many other debuggers) use it as a much more convenient version
      of PTRACE_PEEKDATA, but we should consider making the FOLL_FORCE part
      conditional on actually being a ptracer.  This does not actually do
      that, just moves adds a comment to that effect and moves the gup_flags
      settings next to each other.

      Apparently trying to poke a disabled or non-existent APIC
      leads to a box that doesn't even boot. Let's not do that.
      
      No real clue if this is the right fix, but at least my

      arm/arm64: KVM: Map the BSS at HYP · c8ea0395
      Marc Zyngier authored
      When used with a compiler that doesn't implement "asm goto"
      (such as the AArch64 port of GCC 4.8), jump labels generate a
      memory access to find out about the value of the key (instead
      of just patching the code). The key itself is likely to be
      stored in the BSS.
      
      This is perfectly fine, except that we don't map the BSS at HYP,
      leading to an exploding kernel at the first access. The obvious
      fix is simply to map the BSS there (which should have been done
      a long while ago, but hey...).

      arm64: KVM: Take S1 walks into account when determining S2 write faults · 60e21a0e
      Will Deacon authored
      The WnR bit in the HSR/ESR_EL2 indicates whether a data abort was
      generated by a read or a write instruction. For stage 2 data aborts
      generated by a stage 1 translation table walk (i.e. the actual page
      table access faults at EL2), the WnR bit therefore reports whether the
      instruction generating the walk was a load or a store, *not* whether the
      page table walker was reading or writing the entry.
      
      For page tables marked as read-only at stage 2 (e.g. due to KSM merging
      them with the tables from another guest), this could result in livelock,
      where a page table walk generated by a load instruction attempts to
      set the access flag in the stage 1 descriptor, but fails to trigger
      CoW in the host since only a read fault is reported.
      
      This patch modifies the arm64 kvm_vcpu_dabt_iswrite function to
      take into account stage 2 faults in stage 1 walks. Since DBM cannot be
      disabled at EL2 for CPUs that implement it, we assume that these faults
      are always causes by writes, avoiding the livelock situation at the
      expense of occasional, spurious CoWs.
      
      We could, in theory, do a bit better by checking the guest TCR
      configuration and inspecting the page table to see why the PTE faulted.
      However, I doubt this is measurable in practice, and the threat of
      livelock is real.
