Add a new exit reason for emulator to handle Xen hypercalls.
Since this means KVM owns the ABI, dispense with the facility for the
VMM to provide its own copy of the hypercall pages; just fill them in
directly using VMCALL/VMMCALL as we do for the Hyper-V hypercall page.
This behaviour is enabled by a new INTERCEPT_HCALL flag in the
KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG ioctl structure, and advertised by the same flag
being returned from the KVM_CAP_XEN_HVM check.
Rename xen_hvm_config() to kvm_xen_write_hypercall_page() and move it
to the nascent xen.c while we're at it, and add a test case.

Virtual Machine can exploit bus locks to degrade the performance of
system. Bus lock can be caused by split locked access to writeback(WB)
memory or by using locks on uncacheable(UC) memory. The bus lock is
typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache
line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait for
the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can
complete).
To address the threat, bus lock VM exit is introduced to notify the VMM
when a bus lock was acquired, allowing it to enforce throttling or other
policy based mitigations.
A VMM can enable VM exit due to bus locks by setting a new "Bus Lock
Detection" VM-execution control(bit 30 of Secondary Processor-based VM
execution controls). If delivery of this VM exit was preempted by a
higher priority VM exit (e.g. EPT misconfiguration, EPT violation, APIC
access VM exit, APIC write VM exit, exception bitmap exiting), bit 26 of
exit reason in vmcs field is set to 1.
In current implementation, the KVM exposes this capability through
KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT. The user can get the supported mode bitmap
(i.e. off and exit) and enable it explicitly (disabled by default). If
bus locks in guest are detected by KVM, exit to user space even when
current exit reason is handled by KVM internally. Set a new field
KVM_RUN_BUS_LOCK in vcpu->run->flags to inform the user space that there
is a bus lock detected in guest.
Document for Bus Lock VM exit is now available at the latest "Intel
Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference".

The SEV FW version >= 0.23 added a new command that can be used to query
the attestation report containing the SHA-256 digest of the guest memory
encrypted through the KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_UPDATE_{DATA, VMSA} commands and
sign the report with the Platform Endorsement Key (PEK).
See the SEV FW API spec section 6.8 for more details.
Note there already exist a command (KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE) that can be
used to get the SHA-256 digest. The main difference between the
KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE and KVM_SEV_ATTESTATION_REPORT is that the latter
can be called while the guest is running and the measurement value is
signed with PEK.

Currently, when auto negotiation is on, the user can advertise all the
linkmodes which correspond to a specific speed, but does not have a
similar selector for the number of lanes. This is significant when a
specific speed can be achieved using different number of lanes. For
example, 2x50 or 4x25.
Add 'ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_LANES' attribute and expand 'struct
ethtool_link_settings' with lanes field in order to implement a new
lanes-selector that will enable the user to advertise a specific number
of lanes as well.
When auto negotiation is off, lanes parameter can be forced only if the
driver supports it. Add a capability bit in 'struct ethtool_ops' that
allows ethtool know if the driver can handle the lanes parameter when
auto negotiation is off, so if it does not, an error message will be
returned when trying to set lanes.
Example:
$ ethtool -s swp1 lanes 4
$ ethtool swp1

Define interfaces that allow the underlying memory object of an iova
range to be mapped to a new host virtual address in the host process:
- VFIO_DMA_UNMAP_FLAG_VADDR for VFIO_IOMMU_UNMAP_DMA
- VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_VADDR flag for VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA
- VFIO_UPDATE_VADDR extension for VFIO_CHECK_EXTENSION
Unmap vaddr invalidates the host virtual address in an iova range, and
blocks vfio translation of host virtual addresses. DMA to already-mapped
pages continues. Map vaddr updates the base VA and resumes translation.

Add perf core PMU support for the Intel Sapphire Rapids server, which is
the successor of the Intel Ice Lake server. The enabling code is based
on Ice Lake, but there are several new features introduced.
The event encoding is changed and simplified, e.g., the event codes
which are below 0x90 are restricted to counters 0-3. The event codes
which above 0x90 are likely to have no restrictions. The event
constraints, extra_regs(), and hardware cache events table are changed
accordingly.
A new Precise Distribution (PDist) facility is introduced, which
further minimizes the skid when a precise event is programmed on the GP
counter 0. Enable the Precise Distribution (PDist) facility with :ppp
event. For this facility to work, the period must be initialized with a
value larger than 127. Add spr_limit_period() to apply the limit for
:ppp event.
Two new data source fields, data block & address block, are added in the
PEBS Memory Info Record for the load latency event. To enable the
feature,
- An auxiliary event has to be enabled together with the load latency
event on Sapphire Rapids. A new flag PMU_FL_MEM_LOADS_AUX is
introduced to indicate the case. A new event, mem-loads-aux, is
exposed to sysfs for the user tool.
Add a check in hw_config(). If the auxiliary event is not detected,
return an unique error -ENODATA.
- The union perf_mem_data_src is extended to support the new fields.
- Ice Lake and earlier models do not support block information, but the
fields may be set by HW on some machines. Add pebs_no_block to
explicitly indicate the previous platforms which don't support the new
block fields. Accessing the new block fields are ignored on those
platforms.
A new store Latency facility is introduced, which leverages the PEBS
facility where it can provide additional information about sampled
stores. The additional information includes the data address, memory
auxiliary info (e.g. Data Source, STLB miss) and the latency of the
store access. To enable the facility, the new event (0x02cd) has to be
programed on the GP counter 0. A new flag PERF_X86_EVENT_PEBS_STLAT is
introduced to indicate the event. The store_latency_data() is introduced
to parse the memory auxiliary info.
The layout of access latency field of PEBS Memory Info Record has been
changed. Two latency, instruction latency (bit 15:0) and cache access
latency (bit 47:32) are recorded.
- The cache access latency is similar to previous memory access latency.
For loads, the latency starts by the actual cache access until the
data is returned by the memory subsystem.
For stores, the latency starts when the demand write accesses the L1
data cache and lasts until the cacheline write is completed in the
memory subsystem.
The cache access latency is stored in low 32bits of the sample type
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.
- The instruction latency starts by the dispatch of the load operation
for execution and lasts until completion of the instruction it belongs
to.
Add a new flag PMU_FL_INSTR_LATENCY to indicate the instruction
latency support. The instruction latency is stored in the bit 47:32
of the sample type PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.
Extends the PERF_METRICS MSR to feature TMA method level 2 metrics. The
lower half of the register is the TMA level 1 metrics (legacy). The
upper half is also divided into four 8-bit fields for the new level 2
metrics. Expose all eight Topdown metrics events to user space.

Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future Features
Programming Reference, 319433-041.

Current PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type is very useful to expresses the
cost of an action represented by the sample. This allows the profiler
to scale the samples to be more informative to the programmer. It could
also help to locate a hotspot, e.g., when profiling by memory latencies,
the expensive load appear higher up in the histograms. But current
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type is solely determined by one factor. This
could be a problem, if users want two or more factors to contribute to
the weight. For example, Golden Cove core PMU can provide both the
instruction latency and the cache Latency information as factors for the
memory profiling.
For current X86 platforms, although meminfo::latency is defined as a
u64, only the lower 32 bits include the valid data in practice (No
memory access could last than 4G cycles). The higher 32 bits can be used
to store new factors.
Add a new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to indicate the new
sample weight structure. It shares the same space as the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.
Users can apply either the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type to retrieve the sample weight, but
they cannot apply both sample types simultaneously.
Currently, only X86 and PowerPC use the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.
- For PowerPC, there is nothing changed for the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type. There is no effect for the new PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT
sample type. PowerPC can re-struct the weight field similarly later.
- For X86, the same value will be dumped for the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type for now.
The following patches will apply the new factors for the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type.
The field in the union perf_sample_weight should be shared among
different architectures. A generic name is required, but it's hard to
abstract a name that applies to all architectures. For example, on X86,
the fields are to store all kinds of latency. While on PowerPC, it
stores MMCRA[TECX/TECM], which should not be latency. So a general name
prefix 'var$NUM' is used here.

====================
mlx5 subfunction support
Parav Pandit says:
This patchset introduces support for mlx5 subfunction (SF).
A subfunction is a lightweight function that has a parent PCI function on
which it is deployed. mlx5 subfunction has its own function capabilities
and its own resources. This means a subfunction has its own dedicated
queues(txq, rxq, cq, eq). These queues are neither shared nor stolen from
the parent PCI function.
When subfunction is RDMA capable, it has its own QP1, GID table and rdma
resources neither shared nor stolen from the parent PCI function.
A subfunction has dedicated window in PCI BAR space that is not shared
with the other subfunctions or parent PCI function. This ensures that all
class devices of the subfunction accesses only assigned PCI BAR space.
A Subfunction supports eswitch representation through which it supports tc
offloads. User must configure eswitch to send/receive packets from/to
subfunction port.
Subfunctions share PCI level resources such as PCI MSI-X IRQs with
their other subfunctions and/or with its parent PCI function.
Subfunction support is discussed in detail in RFC [1] and [2].
RFC [1] and extension [2] describes requirements, design and proposed
plumbing using devlink, auxiliary bus and sysfs for systemd/udev
support. Functionality of this patchset is best explained using real
examples further below.
overview:
--------
A subfunction can be created and deleted by a user using devlink port
add/delete interface.
A subfunction can be configured using devlink port function attribute
before its activated.
When a subfunction is activated, it results in an auxiliary device on
the host PCI device where it is deployed. A driver binds to the
auxiliary device that further creates supported class devices.
example subfunction usage sequence:
-----------------------------------
Change device to switchdev mode:
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev
Add a devlink port of subfunction flavour:
$ devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88
Configure mac address of the port function:
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88
Now activate the function:
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state active
Now use the auxiliary device and class devices:
$ devlink dev show
pci/0000:06:00.0
auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.4
$ ip link show
127: ens2f0np0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

129: p0sf88: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:00:00:00:88:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
$ rdma dev show
43: rdmap6s0f0: node_type ca fw 16.29.0550 node_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112 sys_image_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112

After use inactivate the function:
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state inactive
Now delete the subfunction port:
$ devlink port del ens2f0npf0sf88

RKISP1_CIF_ISP_GAMMA_OUT_MAX_SAMPLES 17 -> 34

The IP block evolved from its rk3288/rk3399 base and the vendor
designates them with a numerical version. rk3399 for example
is designated V10 probably meaning V1.0.
There doesn't seem to be an actual version register we could read that
information from, so allow the match_data to carry that information
for future differentiation.
Also carry that information in the hw_revision field of the media-
controller API, so that userspace also has access to that.
The added versions are:
- V10: at least rk3288 + rk3399
- V11: seemingly unused as of now, but probably appeared in some soc
- V12: at least rk3326 + px30
- V13: at least rk1808

Adding userspace support for the MC (Management Complex) means exporting
an ioctl capable device file representing the root resource container.
This new functionality in the fsl-mc bus driver intends to provide
userspace applications an interface to interact with the MC firmware.
Commands that are composed in userspace are sent to the MC firmware
through the FSL_MC_SEND_MC_COMMAND ioctl. By default the implicit MC
I/O portal is used for this operation, but if the implicit one is busy,
a dynamic portal is allocated and then freed upon execution.
The command received through the ioctl interface is checked against a
known whitelist of accepted MC commands. Commands that attempt a change
in hardware configuration will need CAP_NET_ADMIN, while commands used
in debugging do not need it.

For IPv4, default route is learned via DHCPv4 and user is allowed to change
metric using config etc/network/interfaces. But for IPv6, default route can
be learned via RA, for which, currently a fixed metric value 1024 is used.
Ideally, user should be able to configure metric on default route for IPv6
similar to IPv4. This patch adds sysctl for the same.
Logs:

K 0.0.0.0/0 [254/1000] via 172.21.47.1, eth0, 6d08h51m
i.e. User can prefer Default Router learned via Routing Protocol in IPv4.
Similar behavior is not possible for IPv6, without this fix.
After fix [for IPv6]:
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric=1996489705

If the metric is changed later, the effect will be seen only when next IPv6

Below metric is changed from 1996489705 to 1996489704.

Introduce a new mount bind mount property to allow idmapping mounts. The
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag can be set via the new mount_setattr() syscall
together with a file descriptor referring to a user namespace.
The user namespace referenced by the namespace file descriptor will be
attached to the bind mount. All interactions with the filesystem going
through that mount will be mapped according to the mapping specified in
the user namespace attached to it.
Using user namespaces to mark mounts means we can reuse all the existing
infrastructure in the kernel that already exists to handle idmappings
and can also use this for permission checking to allow unprivileged user
to create idmapped mounts in the future.
Idmapping a mount is decoupled from the caller's user and mount
namespace. This means idmapped mounts can be created in the initial
user namespace which is an important use-case for systemd-homed,
portable usb-sticks between systems, sharing data between the initial
user namespace and unprivileged containers, and other use-cases that
have been brought up. For example, assume a home directory where all
files are owned by uid and gid 1000 and the home directory is brought to
a new laptop where the user has id 12345. The system administrator can
simply create a mount of this home directory with a mapping of
1000:12345:1 and other mappings to indicate the ids should be kept.
(With this it is e.g. also possible to create idmapped mounts on the
host with an identity mapping 1:1:100000 where the root user is not
mapped. A user with root access that e.g. has been pivot rooted into
such a mount on the host will be not be able to execute, read, write, or
create files as root.)
Given that mapping a mount is decoupled from the caller's user namespace
a sufficiently privileged process such as a container manager can set up
an idmapped mount for the container and the container can simply pivot
root to it. There's no need for the container to do anything. The mount
will appear correctly mapped independent of the user namespace the
container uses. This means we don't need to mark a mount as idmappable.
In order to create an idmapped mount the caller must currently be
privileged in the user namespace of the superblock the mount belongs to.
Once a mount has been idmapped we don't allow it to change its mapping.
This keeps permission checking and life-cycle management simple. Users
wanting to change the idmapped can always create a new detached mount
with a different idmapping.

This implements the missing mount_setattr() syscall. While the new mount
api allows to change the properties of a superblock there is currently
no way to change the properties of a mount or a mount tree using file
descriptors which the new mount api is based on. In addition the old
mount api has the restriction that mount options cannot be applied
recursively. This hasn't changed since changing mount options on a
per-mount basis was implemented in [1] and has been a frequent request
not just for convenience but also for security reasons. The legacy
mount syscall is unable to accommodate this behavior without introducing
a whole new set of flags because MS_REC | MS_REMOUNT | MS_BIND |
MS_RDONLY | MS_NOEXEC | [...] only apply the mount option to the topmost
mount. Changing MS_REC to apply to the whole mount tree would mean
introducing a significant uapi change and would likely cause significant
regressions.
The new mount_setattr() syscall allows to recursively clear and set
mount options in one shot. Multiple calls to change mount options
requesting the same changes are idempotent:
int mount_setattr(int dfd, const char *path, unsigned flags,
struct mount_attr *uattr, size_t usize);
Flags to modify path resolution behavior are specified in the @flags
argument. Currently, AT_EMPTY_PATH, AT_RECURSIVE, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW,
and AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT are supported. If useful, additional lookup flags to
restrict path resolution as introduced with openat2() might be supported
in the future.
The mount_setattr() syscall can be expected to grow over time and is
designed with extensibility in mind. It follows the extensible syscall
pattern we have used with other syscalls such as openat2(), clone3(),
sched_{set,get}attr(), and others.
The set of mount options is passed in the uapi struct mount_attr which
currently has the following layout:
struct mount_attr {
__u64 attr_set;
__u64 attr_clr;
__u64 propagation;
__u64 userns_fd;
};
The @attr_set and @attr_clr members are used to clear and set mount
options. This way a user can e.g. request that a set of flags is to be
raised such as turning mounts readonly by raising MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY in
@attr_set while at the same time requesting that another set of flags is
to be lowered such as removing noexec from a mount tree by specifying
MOUNT_ATTR_NOEXEC in @attr_clr.
Note, since the MOUNT_ATTR_<atime> values are an enum starting from 0,
not a bitmap, users wanting to transition to a different atime setting
cannot simply specify the atime setting in @attr_set, but must also
specify MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME in the @attr_clr field. So we ensure that
MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME can't be partially set in @attr_clr and that @attr_set
can't have any atime bits set if MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME isn't set in
@attr_clr.
The @propagation field lets callers specify the propagation type of a
mount tree. Propagation is a single property that has four different
settings and as such is not really a flag argument but an enum.
Specifically, it would be unclear what setting and clearing propagation
settings in combination would amount to. The legacy mount() syscall thus
forbids the combination of multiple propagation settings too. The goal
is to keep the semantics of mount propagation somewhat simple as they
are overly complex as it is.
The @userns_fd field lets user specify a user namespace whose idmapping
becomes the idmapping of the mount. This is implemented and explained in
detail in the next patch.

None of these are actually used in the kernel/userspace interface -
there's a userspace component of implementing MRP, and userspace will
need to construct certain frames to put on the wire, but there's no
reason the kernel should provide the relevant definitions in a UAPI
header.
In fact, some of those definitions were broken until previous commit,
so only keep the few that are actually referenced in the kernel code,
and move them to the br_private_mrp.h header.

Wireshark says that the MRP test packets cannot be decoded - and the
reason for that is that there's a two-byte hole filled with garbage
between the "transitions" and "timestamp" members.
So Wireshark decodes the two garbage bytes and the top two bytes of
the timestamp written by the kernel as the timestamp value (which thus
fluctuates wildly), and interprets the lower two bytes of the
timestamp as a new (type, length) pair, which is of course broken.
Even though this makes the timestamp field in the struct unaligned, it
actually makes it end up on a 32 bit boundary in the frame as mandated
by the standard, since it is preceded by a two byte TLV header.
The struct definitions live under include/uapi/, but they are not
really part of any kernel<->userspace API/ABI, so fixing the
definitions by adding the packed attribute should not cause any
compatibility issues.

HTB doesn't scale well because of contention on a single lock, and it
also consumes CPU. This patch adds support for offloading HTB to
hardware that supports hierarchical rate limiting.
In the offload mode, HTB passes control commands to the driver using
ndo_setup_tc. The driver has to replicate the whole hierarchy of classes
and their settings (rate, ceil) in the NIC. Every modification of the
HTB tree caused by the admin results in ndo_setup_tc being called.
After this setup, the HTB algorithm is done completely in the NIC. An SQ
(send queue) is created for every leaf class and attached to the
hierarchy, so that the NIC can calculate and obey aggregated rate
limits, too. In the future, it can be changed, so that multiple SQs will
back a single leaf class.
ndo_select_queue is responsible for selecting the right queue that
serves the traffic class of each packet.
The data path works as follows: a packet is classified by clsact, the
driver selects a hardware queue according to its class, and the packet
is enqueued into this queue's qdisc.
This solution addresses two main problems of scaling HTB:
1. Contention by flow classification. Currently the filters are attached
to the HTB instance as follows:
# tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip flower dst_port 80
classid 1:10
It's possible to move classification to clsact egress hook, which is
thread-safe and lock-free:
# tc filter add dev eth0 egress protocol ip flower dst_port 80
action skbedit priority 1:10
This way classification still happens in software, but the lock
contention is eliminated, and it happens before selecting the TX queue,
allowing the driver to translate the class to the corresponding hardware
queue in ndo_select_queue.
Note that this is already compatible with non-offloaded HTB and doesn't
require changes to the kernel nor iproute2.
2. Contention by handling packets. HTB is not multi-queue, it attaches
to a whole net device, and handling of all packets takes the same lock.
When HTB is offloaded, it registers itself as a multi-queue qdisc,
similarly to mq: HTB is attached to the netdev, and each queue has its
own qdisc.
Some features of HTB may be not supported by some particular hardware,
for example, the maximum number of classes may be limited, the
granularity of rate and ceil parameters may be different, etc. - so, the
offload is not enabled by default, a new parameter is used to enable it:
# tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root handle 1: htb offload
