Applications which manipulate MSRs from userspace often do so
infrequently, and all at once. As such, the default printk ratelimit
architecture supplied by pr_err_ratelimited() doesn't do enough to prevent
kmsg becoming completely overwhelmed with their messages and pushing
other salient information out of the circular buffer.
In one case, I saw over 80% of kmsg being filled with these messages,
and the default kmsg buffer being completely filled less than 5 minutes
after boot(!).
Make things much less aggressive, while still achieving the original
goal of fiter_write(). Operators will still get warnings that MSRs are
being manipulated from userspace, but they won't have other also
potentially useful messages pushed out of the kmsg buffer.
Of course, one can boot with `allow_writes=1` to avoid these messages at
all, but that then has the downfall that one doesn't get _any_
notification at all about these problems in the first place, and so is
much less likely to forget to fix it.
One might rather it was less binary: it was still logged, just less
often, so that application developers _do_ have the incentive to improve
their current methods, without the kernel having to push other useful
stuff out of the kmsg buffer.
This one example isn't the point, of course: I'm sure there are plenty
of other non-ideal-but-pragmatic cases where people are writing to MSRs
from userspace right now, and it will take time for those people to find
other solutions.
Overall, keep the intent of the original patch, while mitigating its
sometimes heavy effects on kmsg composition.

The 'flags' field of 'struct mmu_notifier_range' is used to indicate
whether invalidate_range_{start,end}() are permitted to block. In the
case of kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), this field is not
forwarded on to the architecture-specific implementation of
kvm_unmap_hva_range() and therefore the backend cannot sensibly decide
whether or not to block.
Add an extra 'flags' parameter to kvm_unmap_hva_range() so that
architectures are aware as to whether or not they are permitted to block.

KVM has an optmization to avoid expensive MRS read/writes on
VMENTER/EXIT. It caches the MSR values and restores them either when
leaving the run loop, on preemption or when going out to user space.
The affected MSRs are not required for kernel context operations. This
changed with the recently introduced mechanism to handle FSGSBASE in the
paranoid entry code which has to retrieve the kernel GSBASE value by
accessing per CPU memory. The mechanism needs to retrieve the CPU number
and uses either LSL or RDPID if the processor supports it.
Unfortunately RDPID uses MSR_TSC_AUX which is in the list of cached and
lazily restored MSRs, which means between the point where the guest value
is written and the point of restore, MSR_TSC_AUX contains a random number.
If an NMI or any other exception which uses the paranoid entry path happens
in such a context, then RDPID returns the random guest MSR_TSC_AUX value.
As a consequence this reads from the wrong memory location to retrieve the
kernel GSBASE value. Kernel GS is used to for all regular this_cpu_*()
operations. If the GSBASE in the exception handler points to the per CPU
memory of a different CPU then this has the obvious consequences of data
corruption and crashes.
As the paranoid entry path is the only place which accesses MSR_TSX_AUX
(via RDPID) and the fallback via LSL is not significantly slower, remove
the RDPID alternative from the entry path and always use LSL.
The alternative would be to write MSR_TSC_AUX on every VMENTER and VMEXIT
which would be inflicting massive overhead on that code path.

arm64 requires a vcpu fd (KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR vcpu ioctl) to probe
support for steal-time. However this is unnecessary, as only a KVM
fd is required, and it complicates userspace (userspace may prefer
delaying vcpu creation until after feature probing). Introduce a cap
that can be checked instead. While x86 can already probe steal-time
support with a kvm fd (KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID), we add the cap there
too for consistency.

Current minimum required version of binutils is 2.23,
which supports CRC32 instruction mnemonic.
Replace the byte-wise specification of CRC32 with this proper mnemonic.
The compiler is now able to pass memory operand to the instruction,
so there is no need for a temporary register anymore.
Some examples of the improvement:
12a: 48 8b 08 mov (%rax),%rcx
12d: f2 48 0f 38 f1 f1 crc32q %rcx,%rsi
133: 48 83 c0 08 add $0x8,%rax
137: 48 39 d0 cmp %rdx,%rax
13a: 75 ee jne 12a <crc32c_intel_update+0x1a>
to:
125: f2 48 0f 38 f1 06 crc32q (%rsi),%rax
12b: 48 83 c6 08 add $0x8,%rsi
12f: 48 39 d6 cmp %rdx,%rsi
132: 75 f1 jne 125 <crc32c_intel_update+0x15>
and:
146: 0f b6 08 movzbl (%rax),%ecx
149: f2 0f 38 f0 f1 crc32b %cl,%esi
14e: 48 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%rax
152: 48 39 d0 cmp %rdx,%rax
155: 75 ef jne 146 <crc32c_intel_update+0x36>
to:
13b: f2 0f 38 f0 02 crc32b (%rdx),%eax
140: 48 83 c2 01 add $0x1,%rdx
144: 48 39 ca cmp %rcx,%rdx
147: 75 f2 jne 13b <crc32c_intel_update+0x2b>
As the compiler has some more freedom w.r.t. register allocation,
there is also a couple of reg-reg moves removed.

csum_partial_copy_generic()
... and don't bother zeroing destination on error
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <[email protected]>
|

All callers of these primitives will
* discard anything we might've copied in case of error
* ignore the csum value in case of error
* always pass 0xffffffff as the initial sum, so the
resulting csum value (in case of success, that is) will never be 0.
That suggest the following calling conventions:
* don't pass err_ptr - just return 0 on error.
* don't bother with zeroing destination, etc. in case of error
* don't pass the initial sum - just use 0xffffffff.
This commit does the minimal conversion in the instances of csum_and_copy_...();
the changes of actual asm code behind them are done later in the series.
Note that this asm code is often shared with csum_partial_copy_nocheck();
the difference is that csum_partial_copy_nocheck() passes 0 for initial
sum while csum_and_copy_..._user() pass 0xffffffff. Fortunately, we are
free to pass 0xffffffff in all cases and subsequent patches will use that
freedom without any special comments.
A part that could be split off: parisc and uml/i386 claimed to have
csum_and_copy_to_user() instances of their own, but those were identical
to the generic one, so we simply drop them. Not sure if it's worth
a separate commit...

It's always 0. Note that we theoretically could use ~0U as well -
result will be the same modulo 0xffff, _if_ the damn thing did the
right thing for any value of initial sum; later we'll make use of
that when convenient.
However, unlike csum_and_copy_..._user(), there are instances that
did not work for arbitrary initial sums; c6x is one such.

quite a few architectures have the same csum_partial_copy_nocheck() -
simply memcpy() the data and then return the csum of the copy.

arc, arm64, csky, h8300, m68k/nommu, microblaze, mips/GENERIC_CSUM, nds32,
nios2, openrisc, riscv, unicore32: end up picking the same thing spelled
out in lib/checksum.h (with varying amounts of perversions along the way).
everybody else (alpha, arm, c6x, m68k/mmu, mips/!GENERIC_CSUM, powerpc,
sh, sparc, x86, xtensa) have non-generic variants. For all except c6x
the declaration is in their asm/checksum.h. c6x uses the wrapper
from asm-generic/checksum.h that would normally lead to the lib/checksum.h

Since commits
c041b5ad8640 ("x86, boot: Create a separate string.h file to provide standard string functions")
fb4cac573ef6 ("x86, boot: Move memcmp() into string.h and string.c")
the decompressor stub has been using the compiler's builtin memcpy,
memset and memcmp functions, _except_ where it would likely have the
largest impact, in the decompression code itself.
Remove the #undef's of memcpy and memset in misc.c so that the
decompressor code also uses the compiler builtins.
The rationale given in the comment doesn't really apply: just because
some functions use the out-of-line version is no reason to not use the
builtin version in the rest.
Replace the comment with an explanation of why memzero and memmove are
being #define'd.
Drop the suggestion to #undef in boot/string.h as well: the out-of-line
versions are not really optimized versions, they're generic code that's
good enough for the preboot environment. The compiler will likely
generate better code for constant-size memcpy/memset/memcmp if it is
allowed to.
Most decompressors' performance is unchanged, with the exception of LZ4
and 64-bit ZSTD.

Intel CPUs expect the cache bitmap provided by user-space to have on a
single span of 1s, whereas AMD can support bitmaps like 0xf00f. Arm's
MPAM support also allows sparse bitmaps.
Similarly, Intel CPUs check at least one bit set, whereas AMD CPUs are
quite happy with an empty bitmap. Arm's MPAM allows an empty bitmap.
To move resctrl out to /fs/, platform differences like this need to be
explained.
Add two resource properties arch_has_{empty,sparse}_bitmaps. Test these
around the relevant parts of cbm_validate().
Merging the validate calls causes AMD to gain the min_cbm_bits test
needed for Haswell, but as it always sets this value to 1, it will never

MBA difference
The configuration values user-space provides to the resctrl filesystem
are ABI. To make this work on another architecture, all the ABI bits
should be moved out of /arch/x86 and under /fs.
To do this, the differences between AMD and Intel CPUs needs to be
explained to resctrl via resource properties, instead of function
pointers that let the arch code accept subtly different values on
different platforms/architectures.
For MBA, Intel CPUs reject configuration attempts for non-linear
resources, whereas AMD ignore this field as its MBA resource is never
linear. To merge the parse/validate functions, this difference needs to
be explained.
Add struct rdt_membw::arch_needs_linear to indicate the arch code needs
the linear property to be true to configure this resource. AMD can set
this and delay_linear to false. Intel can set arch_needs_linear to
true to keep the existing "No support for non-linear MB domains" error

Intro
=====
The TopDown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors. Current perf has supported the method.
The method works well, but there is one problem. To collect the TopDown
events, several GP counters have to be used. If a user wants to collect
other events at the same time, the multiplexing probably be triggered,
which impacts the accuracy.
To free up the scarce GP counters, the hardware TopDown metrics feature
is introduced from Ice Lake. The hardware implements an additional
"metrics" register and a new Fixed Counter 3 that measures pipeline
"slots". The TopDown events can be calculated from them instead.
Events
======
The level 1 TopDown has four metrics. There is no event-code assigned to
the TopDown metrics. Four metric events are exported as separate perf
events, which map to the internal "metrics" counter register. Those
events do not exist in hardware, but can be allocated by the scheduler.
For the event mapping, a special 0x00 event code is used, which is
reserved for fake events. The metric events start from umask 0x10.
When setting up the metric events, they point to the Fixed Counter 3.
They have to be specially handled.
- Add the update_topdown_event() callback to read the additional metrics
MSR and generate the metrics.
- Add the set_topdown_event_period() callback to initialize metrics MSR
and the fixed counter 3.
- Add a variable n_metric_event to track the number of the accepted
metrics events. The sharing between multiple users of the same metric
without multiplexing is not allowed.
- Only enable/disable the fixed counter 3 when there are no other active
TopDown events, which avoid the unnecessary writing of the fixed
control register.
- Disable the PMU when reading the metrics event. The metrics MSR and
the fixed counter 3 are read separately. The values may be modified by
an NMI.
All four metric events don't support sampling. Since they will be
handled specially for event update, a flag PERF_X86_EVENT_TOPDOWN is
introduced to indicate this case.
The slots event can support both sampling and counting.
For counting, the flag is also applied.
For sampling, it will be handled normally as other normal events.
Groups
======
The slots event is required in a Topdown group.
To avoid reading the METRICS register multiple times, the metrics and
slots value can only be updated by slots event in a group.
All active slots and metrics events will be updated one time.
Therefore, the slots event must be before any metric events in a Topdown
group.
NMI
======
The METRICS related register may be overflow. The bit 48 of the STATUS
register will be set. If so, PERF_METRICS and Fixed counter 3 are
required to be reset. The patch also update all active slots and
metrics events in the NMI handler.
The update_topdown_event() has to read two registers separately. The
values may be modified by an NMI. PMU has to be disabled before calling
the function.
RDPMC
======
RDPMC is temporarily disabled. A later patch will enable it.

Currently, the if-else is used in the intel_pmu_disable/enable_event to
check the type of an event. It works well, but with more and more types
added later, e.g., perf metrics, compared to the switch statement, the
if-else may impair the readability of the code.
There is no harm to use the switch statement to replace the if-else
here. Also, some optimizing compilers may compile a switch statement
into a jump-table which is more efficient than if-else for a large
number of cases. The performance gain may not be observed for now,
because the number of cases is only 5, but the benefits may be observed
with more and more types added in the future.
Use switch to replace the if-else in the intel_pmu_disable/enable_event.
If the idx is invalid, print a warning.
For the case INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED_BTS in intel_pmu_disable_event, don't
need to check the event->attr.precise_ip. Use return for the case.

The RDPMC index is always re-calculated for the RDPMC userspace support,
which is unnecessary.
The RDPMC index value is stored in the variable event_base_rdpmc for
the kernel usage, which can be used for RDPMC userspace support as well.

The PK bit of the error code is computed dynamically in permission_fault
and therefore need not be passed to gva_to_gpa: only the access bits
(fetch, user, write) need to be passed down.
Not doing so causes a splat in the pku test:

The SERIALIZE instruction gives software a way to force the processor to
complete all modifications to flags, registers and memory from previous
instructions and drain all buffered writes to memory before the next
instruction is fetched and executed. Thus, it serves the purpose of
sync_core(). Use it when available.

Linux only has support to read total DDR reads and writes. Here we
add support to enable bandwidth breakdown-GT, IA and IO. Breakdown
of BW is important to debug and optimize memory access. This can also
be used for telemetry and improving the system software.The offsets for
GT, IA and IO are added and these free running counters can be accessed
via MMIO space.
The BW breakdown can be measured using the following cmd:
perf stat -e uncore_imc/gt_requests/,uncore_imc/ia_requests/,uncore_imc/io_requests/
30.57 MiB uncore_imc/gt_requests/
1346.13 MiB uncore_imc/ia_requests/
