On NVIDIA Carmel cores, CNP behaves differently than it does on standard ARM cores. On Carmel, if two cores have CNP enabled and share an L2 TLB entry created by core0 for a specific ASID, a non-shareable TLBI from core1 may still see the shared entry. On standard ARM cores, that TLBI will invalidate the shared entry as well. This causes issues with patchsets that attempt to do local TLBIs based on cpumasks instead of broadcast TLBIs. Avoid these issues by disabling CNP support for NVIDIA Carmel cores. Signed-off-by:

Fix a plethora of issues with MSR filtering by installing the resulting filter as an atomic bundle instead of updating the live filter one range at a time. The KVM_X86_SET_MSR_FILTER ioctl() isn't truly atomic, as the hardware MSR bitmaps won't be updated until the next VM-Enter, but the relevant software struct is atomically updated, which is what KVM really needs. Similar to the approach used for modifying memslots, make arch.msr_filter a SRCU-protected pointer, do all the work configuring the new filter outside of kvm->lock, and then acquire kvm->lock only when the new filter has been vetted and created. That way vCPU readers either see the old filter or the new filter in their entirety, not some half-baked state. Yuan Yao pointed out a use-after-free in ksm_msr_allowed() due to a TOCTOU bug, but that's just the tip of the iceberg... - Nothing is __rcu annotated, making it nigh impossible to audit the code for correctness. - kvm_add_msr_filter() has an unpaired smp_wmb(). Violation of kernel coding style aside, the lack of a smb_rmb() anywhere casts all code into doubt. - kvm_clear_msr_filter() has a double free TOCTOU bug, as it grabs count before taking the lock. - kvm_clear_msr_filter() also has memory leak due to the same TOCTOU bug. The entire approach of updating the live filter is also flawed. While installing a new filter is inherently racy if vCPUs are running, fixing the above issues also makes it trivial to ensure certain behavior is deterministic, e.g. KVM can provide deterministic behavior for MSRs with identical settings in the old and new filters. An atomic update of the filter also prevents KVM from getting into a half-baked state, e.g. if installing a filter fails, the existing approach would leave the filter in a half-baked state, having already committed whatever bits of the filter were already processed.

KVM/arm64 has forever used a 40bit default IPA space, partially due to its 32bit heritage (where the only choice is 40bit). However, there are implementations in the wild that have a *cough* much smaller *cough* IPA space, which leads to a misprogramming of VTCR_EL2, and a guest that is stuck on its first memory access if userspace dares to ask for the default IPA setting (which most VMMs do). Instead, blundly reject the creation of such VM, as we can't satisfy the requirements from userspace (with a one-off warning). Also clarify the boot warning, and document that the VM creation will fail when an unsupported IPA size is provided. Although this is an ABI change, it doesn't really change much for userspace: - the guest couldn't run before this change, but no error was returned. At least userspace knows what is happening. - a memory slot that was accepted because it did fit the default IPA space now doesn't even get a chance to be registered. The other thing that is left doing is to convince userspace to actually use the IPA space setting instead of relying on the antiquated default.

USB devices cannot perform DMA and hence have no dma_mask set in their device structure. Therefore importing dmabuf into a USB-based driver fails, which breaks joining and mirroring of display in X11. For USB devices, pick the associated USB controller as attachment device. This allows the DRM import helpers to perform the DMA setup. If the DMA controller does not support DMA transfers, we're out of luck and cannot import. Our current USB-based DRM drivers don't use DMA, so the actual DMA device is not important. Tested by joining/mirroring displays of udl and radeon under Gnome/X11. v8: * release dmadev if device initialization fails (Noralf) * fix commit description (Noralf) v7: * fix use-before-init bug in gm12u320 (Dan) v6: * implement workaround in DRM drivers and hold reference to DMA device while USB device is in use * remove dev_is_usb() (Greg) * collapse USB helper into usb_intf_get_dma_device() (Alan) * integrate Daniel's TODO statement (Daniel) * fix typos (Greg) v5: * provide a helper for USB interfaces (Alan) * add FIXME item to documentation and TODO list (Daniel) v4: * implement workaround with USB helper functions (Greg) * use struct usb_device->bus->sysdev as DMA device (Takashi) v3: * drop gem_create_object * use DMA mask of USB controller, if any (Daniel, Christian, Noralf) v2: * move fix to importer side (Christian, Daniel) * update SHMEM and CMA helpers for new PRIME callbacks Signed-off-by:

This is how Xen guests do steal time accounting. The hypervisor records the amount of time spent in each of running/runnable/blocked/offline states. In the Xen accounting, a vCPU is still in state RUNSTATE_running while in Xen for a hypercall or I/O trap, etc. Only if Xen explicitly schedules does the state become RUNSTATE_blocked. In KVM this means that even when the vCPU exits the kvm_run loop, the state remains RUNSTATE_running. The VMM can explicitly set the vCPU to RUNSTATE_blocked by using the KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_CURRENT attribute, and can also use KVM_XEN_VCPU_ATTR_TYPE_RUNSTATE_ADJUST to retrospectively add a given amount of time to the blocked state and subtract it from the running state. The state_entry_time corresponds to get_kvmclock_ns() at the time the vCPU entered the current state, and the total times of all four states should always add up to state_entry_time. Co-developed-by:

Patch series "Fix some seq_file users that were recently broken". A recent change to seq_file broke some users which were using seq_file in a non-"standard" way ... though the "standard" isn't documented, so they can be excused. The result is a possible leak - of memory in one case, of references to a 'transport' in the other. These three patches: 1/ document and explain the problem 2/ fix the problem user in x86 3/ fix the problem user in net/sctp This patch (of 3): Users of seq_file will sometimes find it convenient to take a resource, such as a lock or memory allocation, in the ->start or ->next operations. These are per-entry resources, distinct from per-session resources which are taken in ->start and released in ->stop. The preferred management of these is release the resource on the subsequent call to ->next or ->stop. However prior to Commit 1f4aace6 ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and interface") it happened that ->show would always be called after ->start or ->next, and a few users chose to release the resource in ->show. This is no longer reliable. Since the mentioned commit, ->next will always come after a successful ->show (to ensure m->index is updated correctly), so the original ordering cannot be maintained. This patch updates the documentation to clearly state the required behaviour. Other patches will fix the few problematic users.

Add a kernel parameter stack_depot_disable to disable stack depot. So that stack hash table doesn't consume any memory when stack depot is disabled. The use case is CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER without page_owner=on. Without this patch, stackdepot will consume the memory for the hashtable. By default, it's 8M which is never trivial. With this option, in CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER configured system, page_owner=off, stack_depot_disable in kernel command line, we could save the wasted memory for the hashtable.

No need to store the value for each and every memory block, as we can easily query the value at runtime. Reshuffle the members to optimize the memory layout. Also, let's clarify what the interface once was used for and why it's legacy nowadays. "phys_device" was used on s390x in older versions of lsmem[2]/chmem[3], back when they were still part of s390x-tools. They were later replaced by the variants in linux-utils. For example, RHEL6 and RHEL7 contain lsmem/chmem from s390-utils. RHEL8 switched to versions from util-linux on s390x [4]. "phys_device" was added with sysfs support for memory hotplug in commit 3947be19 ("[PATCH] memory hotplug: sysfs and add/remove functions") in 2005. It always returned 0. s390x started returning something != 0 on some setups (if sclp.rzm is set by HW) in 2010 via commit 57b552ba ("memory hotplug/s390: set phys_device"). For s390x, it allowed for identifying which memory block devices belong to the same storage increment (RZM). Only if all memory block devices comprising a single storage increment were offline, the memory could actually be removed in the hypervisor. Since commit e5d709bb ("s390/memory hotplug: provide memory_block_size_bytes() function") in 2013 a memory block device spans at least one storage increment - which is why the interface isn't really helpful/used anymore (except by old lsmem/chmem tools). There were once RFC patches to make use of "phys_device" in ACPI context; however, the underlying problem could be solved using different interfaces [1].

I went to go add a new RECLAIM_* mode for the zone_reclaim_mode sysctl. Like a good kernel developer, I also went to go update the documentation. I noticed that the bits in the documentation didn't match the bits in the #defines. The VM never explicitly checks the RECLAIM_ZONE bit. The bit is, however implicitly checked when checking 'node_reclaim_mode==0'. The RECLAIM_ZONE #define was removed in a cleanup. That, by itself is fine. But, when the bit was removed (bit 0) the _other_ bit locations also got changed. That's not OK because the bit values are documented to mean one specific thing. Users surely do not expect the meaning to change from kernel to kernel. The end result is that if someone had a script that did: sysctl vm.zone_reclaim_mode=1 it would have gone from enabling node reclaim for clean unmapped pages to writing out pages during node reclaim after the commit in question. That's not great. Put the bits back the way they were and add a comment so something like this is a bit harder to do again. Update the documentation to make it clear that the first bit is ignored.

The generated html will link to the definition of the gfp_t automatically once we define it. Move the one-paragraph overview of GFP flags from the documentation directory into gfp.h and pull gfp.h into the documentation. This generates warnings with clang (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210219195509.GA59987@24bbad8f3778), so use a #if 0 to hide it from the compiler for now.

This patch adds swapcache stat for the cgroup v2. The swapcache represents the memory that is accounted against both the memory and the swap limit of the cgroup. The main motivation behind exposing the swapcache stat is for enabling users to gracefully migrate from cgroup v1's memsw counter to cgroup v2's memory and swap counters. Cgroup v1's memsw limit allows users to limit the memory+swap usage of a workload but without control on the exact proportion of memory and swap. Cgroup v2 provides separate limits for memory and swap which enables more control on the exact usage of memory and swap individually for the workload. With some little subtleties, the v1's memsw limit can be switched with the sum of the v2's memory and swap limits. However the alternative for memsw usage is not yet available in cgroup v2. Exposing per-cgroup swapcache stat enables that alternative. Adding the memory usage and swap usage and subtracting the swapcache will approximate the memsw usage. This will help in the transparent migration of the workloads depending on memsw usage and limit to v2' memory and swap counters. The reasons these applications are still interested in this approximate memsw usage are: (1) these applications are not really interested in two separate memory and swap usage metrics. A single usage metric is more simple to use and reason about for them. (2) The memsw usage metric hides the underlying system's swap setup from the applications. Applications with multiple instances running in a datacenter with heterogeneous systems (some have swap and some don't) will keep seeing a consistent view of their usage.

Patch series "mm/debug_vm_pgtable: Some minor updates", v3. This series contains some cleanups and new test suggestions from Catalin from an earlier discussion. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201123142237.GF17833@gaia/ This patch (of 2): This adds validation tests for dirtiness after write protect conversion for each page table level. There are two new separate test types involved here. The first test ensures that a given page table entry does not become dirty after pxx_wrprotect(). This is important for platforms like arm64 which transfers and drops the hardware dirty bit (!PTE_RDONLY) to the software dirty bit while making it an write protected one. This test ensures that no fresh page table entry could be created with hardware dirty bit set. The second test ensures that a given page table entry always preserve the dirty information across pxx_wrprotect(). This adds two previously missing PUD level basic tests and while here fixes pxx_wrprotect() related typos in the documentation file.
