Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Commit 5e9859699aba ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Outline of KVM-HV HPT resizing
implementation", 2016-12-20) added code that tries to exclude any use
or update of the hashed page table (HPT) while the HPT resizing code
is iterating through all the entries in the HPT. It does this by
taking the kvm->lock mutex, clearing the kvm->arch.hpte_setup_done
flag and then sending an IPI to all CPUs in the host. The idea is
that any VCPU task that tries to enter the guest will see that the
hpte_setup_done flag is clear and therefore call kvmppc_hv_setup_htab_rma,
which also takes the kvm->lock mutex and will therefore block until
we release kvm->lock.
However, any VCPU that is already in the guest, or is handling a
hypervisor page fault or hypercall, can re-enter the guest without
rechecking the hpte_setup_done flag. The IPI will cause a guest exit
of any VCPUs that are currently in the guest, but does not prevent
those VCPU tasks from immediately re-entering the guest.
The result is that after resize_hpt_rehash_hpte() has made a HPTE
absent, a hypervisor page fault can occur and make that HPTE present
again. This includes updating the rmap array for the guest real page,
meaning that we now have a pointer in the rmap array which connects
with pointers in the old rev array but not the new rev array. In
fact, if the HPT is being reduced in size, the pointer in the rmap
array could point outside the bounds of the new rev array. If that
happens, we can get a host crash later on such as this one:

To fix this, we tighten up the way that the hpte_setup_done flag is
checked to ensure that it does provide the guarantee that the resizing
code needs. In kvmppc_run_core(), we check the hpte_setup_done flag
after disabling interrupts and refuse to enter the guest if it is
clear (for a HPT guest). The code that checks hpte_setup_done and
calls kvmppc_hv_setup_htab_rma() is moved from kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv()
to a point inside the main loop in kvmppc_run_vcpu(), ensuring that
we don't just spin endlessly calling kvmppc_run_core() while
hpte_setup_done is clear, but instead have a chance to block on the
kvm->lock mutex.
Finally we also check hpte_setup_done inside the region in
kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault() where the HPTE is locked and we are about
to update the HPTE, and bail out if it is clear. If another CPU is
inside kvm_vm_ioctl_resize_hpt_commit) and has cleared hpte_setup_done,
then we know that either we are looking at a HPTE
that resize_hpt_rehash_hpte() has not yet processed, which is OK,
or else we will see hpte_setup_done clear and refuse to update it,
because of the full barrier formed by the unlock of the HPTE in
resize_hpt_rehash_hpte() combined with the locking of the HPTE
in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault().

This reverts commit 941f5f0f6ef5338814145cf2b813cf1f98873e2f.
Sadly, it turns out that we really can't just do the cross-CPU IPI to
all CPU's to get their proper frequencies, because it's much too
expensive on systems with lots of cores.
So we'll have to revert this for now, and revisit it using a smarter
model (probably doing one system-wide IPI at open time, and doing all
the frequency calculations in parallel).

When called from prom init code, ar7_gpio_init() will fail as it will
call gpiochip_add() which relies on a working kmalloc() to alloc
the gpio_desc array and kmalloc is not useable yet at prom init time.
Move ar7_gpio_init() to ar7_register_devices() (a device_initcall)
where kmalloc works.

On POWER9 systems, we push the VCPU context onto the XIVE (eXternal
Interrupt Virtualization Engine) hardware when entering a guest,
and pull the context off the XIVE when exiting the guest. The push
is done with cache-inhibited stores, and the pull with cache-inhibited
loads.
Testing has revealed that it is possible (though very rare) for
the stores to get reordered with the loads so that we end up with the
guest VCPU context still loaded on the XIVE after we have exited the
guest. When that happens, it is possible for the same VCPU context
to then get loaded on another CPU, which causes the machine to
checkstop.
To fix this, we add I/O barrier instructions (eieio) before and
after the push and pull operations. As partial compensation for the
potential slowdown caused by the extra barriers, we remove the eieio
instructions between the two stores in the push operation, and between
the two loads in the pull operation. (The architecture requires
loads to cache-inhibited, guarded storage to be kept in order, and
requires stores to cache-inhibited, guarded storage likewise to be
kept in order, but allows such loads and stores to be reordered with
respect to each other.)
