This includes: - kernel-doc markup fixes - ReST fixes - Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of the docs build toolchain (Sphinx) After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4). As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build, as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests that should be happening along the merge window. The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10. PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported, as it lacks support for C domain namespaces. Such feature, needed in order to document uAPI system calls with Sphinx 3.x, was added only on Sphinx 3.1" * tag 'docs/v5.10-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (75 commits) PM / devfreq: remove a duplicated kernel-doc markup mm/doc: fix a literal block markup workqueue: fix a kernel-doc warning docs: virt: user_mode_linux_howto_v2.rst: fix a literal block markup Input: sparse-keymap: add a description for @sw rcu/tree: docs: document bkvcache new members at struct kfree_rcu_cpu nl80211: docs: add a description for s1g_cap parameter usb: docs: document altmode register/unregister functions kunit: test.h: fix a bad kernel-doc markup drivers: core: fix kernel-doc markup for dev_err_probe() docs: bio: fix a kerneldoc markup kunit: test.h: solve kernel-doc warnings block: bio: fix a warning at the kernel-doc markups docs: powerpc: syscall64-abi.rst: fix a malformed table drivers: net: hamradio: fix document location net: appletalk: Kconfig: Fix docs location dt-bindings: fix references to files converted to yaml memblock: get rid of a :c:type leftover math64.h: kernel-docs: Convert some markups into normal comments media: uAPI: buffer.rst: remove a left-over documentation ...

In terms of exciting features, this includes support for the Memory Tagging Extension which narrowly missed 5.9, hopefully allowing userspace to run with use-after-free detection in production on CPUs that support it. Work is ongoing to integrate the feature with KASAN for 5.11. Another change that I'm excited about (assuming they get the hardware right) is preparing the ASID allocator for sharing the CPU page-table with the SMMU. Those changes will also come in via Joerg with the IOMMU pull. We do stray outside of our usual directories in a few places, mostly due to core changes required by MTE. Although much of this has been Acked, there were a couple of places where we unfortunately didn't get any review feedback. Other than that, we ran into a handful of minor conflicts in -next, but nothing that should post any issues. Summary: - Userspace support for the Memory Tagging Extension introduced by Armv8.5. Kernel support (via KASAN) is likely to follow in 5.11. - Selftests for MTE, Pointer Authentication and FPSIMD/SVE context switching. - Fix and subsequent rewrite of our Spectre mitigations, including the addition of support for PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC. - Support for the Armv8.3 Pointer Authentication enhancements. - Support for ASID pinning, which is required when sharing page-tables with the SMMU. - MM updates, including treating flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() as a no-op. - Perf/PMU driver updates, including addition of the ARM CMN PMU driver and also support to handle CPU PMU IRQs as NMIs. - Allow prefetchable PCI BARs to be exposed to userspace using normal non-cacheable mappings. - Implementation of ARCH_STACKWALK for unwinding. - Improve reporting of unexpected kernel traps due to BPF JIT failure. - Improve robustness of user-visible HWCAP strings and their corresponding numerical constants. - Removal of TEXT_OFFSET. - Removal of some unused functions, parameters and prototypes. - Removal of MPIDR-based topology detection in favour of firmware description. - Cleanups to handling of SVE and FPSIMD register state in preparation for potential future optimisation of handling across syscalls. - Cleanups to the SDEI driver in preparation for support in KVM. - Miscellaneous cleanups and refactoring work" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (148 commits) Revert "arm64: initialize per-cpu offsets earlier" arm64: random: Remove no longer needed prototypes arm64: initialize per-cpu offsets earlier kselftest/arm64: Check mte tagged user address in kernel kselftest/arm64: Verify KSM page merge for MTE pages kselftest/arm64: Verify all different mmap MTE options kselftest/arm64: Check forked child mte memory accessibility kselftest/arm64: Verify mte tag inclusion via prctl kselftest/arm64: Add utilities and a test to validate mte memory perf: arm-cmn: Fix conversion specifiers for node type perf: arm-cmn: Fix unsigned comparison to less than zero arm64: dbm: Invalidate local TLB when setting TCR_EL1.HD arm64: mm: Make flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() a no-op arm64: Add support for PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC prctl() option arm64: Pull in task_stack_page() to Spectre-v4 mitigation code KVM: arm64: Allow patching EL2 vectors even with KASLR is not enabled arm64: Get rid of arm64_ssbd_state KVM: arm64: Convert ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 to arm64_get_spectre_v4_state() KVM: arm64: Get rid of kvm_arm_have_ssbd() KVM: arm64: Simplify handling of ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 ...

* | arm64/x86: KVM: Introduce steal-time capAndrew Jones2020-08-211-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

This risks breaking userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice. - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures. - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems. - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs. - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path. - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

This adds support for arm64. x86 still writes protect all huge pages when DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_ALL_SET is enabled. However, for arm64, both huge pages and normal pages can be write protected gradually by userspace. Under the Huawei Kunpeng 920 2.6GHz platform, I did some tests on 128G Linux VMs with different page size. The memory pressure is 127G in each case. The time taken of memory_global_dirty_log_start in QEMU is listed below: Page Size Before After Optimization 4K 650ms 1.8ms 2M 4ms 1.8ms 1G 2ms 1.8ms Besides the time reduction, the biggest improvement is that we will minimize the performance side effect (because of dissolving huge pages and marking memslots dirty) on guest after enabling dirty log.

In 64-bit mode the default alignment boundary is 64 bits thus forcing extra gaps after 'type' and 'msr' but in 32-bit mode the boundary is at 32 bits thus no extra gaps. This is an issue as even when the kernel is 64 bit, the userspace using the interface can be both 32 and 64 bit but the same 32 bit userspace has to work with 32 bit kernel. The issue is fixed by forcing the 64 bit layout, this leads to ABI change for 32 bit builds and while we are obviously breaking '32 bit userspace with 32 bit kernel' case, we're fixing the '32 bit userspace with 64 bit kernel' one. As the interface has no (known) users and 32 bit KVM is rather baroque nowadays, this seems like a reasonable decision.

The check will only be performed with the next vmexit when it happens and in some cases it may take a while. With interrupt based page ready notification delivery the situation is even worse: unlike exceptions, interrupts are not handled immediately so we must check if the slot is empty. This is slow and unnecessary. Introduce dedicated MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_ACK MSR to communicate the fact that the slot is free and host should check its notification queue. Mandate using it for interrupt based 'page ready' APF event delivery. As kvm_check_async_pf_completion() is going away from vcpu_run() we need a way to communicate the fact that vcpu->async_pf.done queue has transitioned from empty to non-empty state. Introduce kvm_arch_async_page_present_queued() and KVM_REQ_APF_READY to do the job.

For 'page ready' notifications we can easily switch to using an interrupt instead. Introduce new MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_INT mechanism and deprecate the legacy one. One notable difference between the two mechanisms is that interrupt may not get handled immediately so whenever we would like to deliver next event (regardless of its type) we must be sure the guest had read and cleared previous event in the slot. While on it, get rid on 'type 1/type 2' names for APF events in the documentation as they are causing confusion. Use 'page not present' and 'page ready' everywhere instead.

KVM doesn't support emulating CR3-target values, despite a variety of code that implies otherwise, as KVM unconditionally reports '0' for the number of supported CR3-target values. This technically fixes a bug where KVM would incorrectly allow VMREAD and VMWRITE to nonexistent fields, i.e. cr3_target_value[0-3]. Per Intel's SDM, the number of supported CR3-target values reported in VMX_MISC also enumerates the existence of the associated VMCS fields: If a future implementation supports more than 4 CR3-target values, they will be encoded consecutively following the 4 encodings given here. Alternatively, the "bug" could be fixed by actually advertisting support for 4 CR3-target values, but that'd likely just enable kvm-unit-tests given that no one has complained about lack of support for going on ten years, e.g. KVM, Xen and HyperV don't use CR3-target values.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, on Power systems with Protected Execution Facility hardware and an ultravisor, a KVM guest can transition to being a secure guest at will. Userspace (QEMU) has no way of knowing whether a host system is capable of running secure guests. This will present a problem in future when the ultravisor is capable of migrating secure guests from one host to another, because virtualization management software will have no way to ensure that secure guests only run in domains where all of the hosts can support secure guests. This adds a VM capability which has two functions: (a) userspace can query it to find out whether the host can support secure guests, and (b) userspace can enable it for a guest, which allows that guest to become a secure guest. If userspace does not enable it, KVM will return an error when the ultravisor does the hypercall that indicates that the guest is starting to transition to a secure guest. The ultravisor will then abort the transition and the guest will terminate.
