      KVM: arm64: Fix caching of host MDCR_EL2 value · da5a3ce6
      Mark Rutland authored
      
      At boot time, KVM stashes the host MDCR_EL2 value, but only does this
      when the kernel is not running in hyp mode (i.e. is non-VHE). In these
      cases, the stashed value of MDCR_EL2.HPMN happens to be zero, which can
      lead to CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behaviour.
      
      Since we use this value to derive the MDCR_EL2 value when switching
      to/from a guest, after a guest have been run, the performance counters
      do not behave as expected. This has been observed to result in accesses
      via PMXEVTYPER_EL0 and PMXEVCNTR_EL0 not affecting the relevant
      counters, resulting in events not being counted. In these cases, only
      the fixed-purpose cycle counter appears to work as expected.
      
      Fix this by always stashing the host MDCR_EL2 value, regardless of VHE.

      mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for mmu notifiers · 93065ac7
      Michal Hocko authored
      There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in
      mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the
      oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot
      depend on any sleepable locks.
      
      Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu
      notifiers as done after a short sleep.  That can result in selecting a new
      oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its
      memory down yet.
      
      We can do much better though.  Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks
      there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held.  Moreover
      majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and
      there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated
      range.  Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to
      handle and we have to bail out though.
      
      This patch handles the low hanging fruit.
      __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks
      are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false.  This is achieved by
      using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and
      continue as long as we do not block down the call chain.
      
      I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern
      to do a range lookup first and then do something about that.  The first
      part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS.
      
      The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier
      which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode.  A retry loop is
      already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the
      same thing.
      
      The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap
      userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard
      limit to hit the oom.  This can be done e.g.  after the test faults in all
      the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really
      small.  Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.
