c2452f3278 shrink struct dentry
struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's
sad to see it going neglected.

With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least
for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here
(64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab.

I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline
name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This
shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the
length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on...

I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant:
why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash
size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast
dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how
can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after
get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection.

At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system
with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get
nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry
will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it
would require 4.

I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the
reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast
to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and
faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are
<= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for
33-36 byte names.

Performance is a feature...

3f353858c9 KVM: Add locking to virtual i8259 interrupt controller
While most accesses to the i8259 are with the kvm mutex taken, the call
to kvm_pic_read_irq() is not.  We can't easily take the kvm mutex there
since the function is called with interrupts disabled.

Fix by adding a spinlock to the virtual interrupt controller.  Since we
can't send an IPI under the spinlock (we also take the same spinlock in
an irq disabled context), we defer the IPI until the spinlock is released.
Similarly, we defer irq ack notifications until after spinlock release to
avoid lock recursion.

Fix kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_[gs]et_regs() to do something meaningful on

In addition reserve extra space for future extensions.

The change of layout of struct kvm_regs doesn't require adding a new
CAP since get/set regs never worked on ia64 until now.

This version doesn't support copying the KVM kernel stack in/out of
the kernel. This should be implemented in a seperate ioctl call if
ever needed.

4531220b71 KVM: x86: Rework user space NMI injection as KVM_CAP_USER_NMI
There is no point in doing the ready_for_nmi_injection/
request_nmi_window dance with user space. First, we don't do this for
in-kernel irqchip anyway, while the code path is the same as for user
space irqchip mode. And second, there is nothing to loose if a pending
NMI is overwritten by another one (in contrast to IRQs where we have to
save the number). Actually, there is even the risk of raising spurious
NMIs this way because the reason for the held-back NMI might already be
handled while processing the first one.

Therefore this patch creates a simplified user space NMI injection
interface, exporting it under KVM_CAP_USER_NMI and dropping the old
KVM_CAP_NMI capability. And this time we also take care to provide the
interface only on archs supporting NMIs via KVM (right now only x86).

defaf1587c KVM: fix handling of ACK from shared guest IRQ
If an assigned device shares a guest irq with an emulated
device then we currently interpret an ack generated by the
emulated device as originating from the assigned device
leading to e.g. "Unbalanced enable for IRQ 4347" from the
enable_irq() in kvm_assigned_dev_ack_irq().

The fix is fairly simple - don't enable the physical device
irq unless it was previously disabled.

Of course, this can still lead to a situation where a
non-assigned device ACK can cause the physical device irq to
be reenabled before the device was serviced. However, being
level sensitive, the interrupt will merely be regenerated.

3d3aab1b97 KVM: set owner of cpu and vm file operations
There is a race between a "close of the file descriptors" and module

You can easily trigger this problem by applying this debug patch:

>        spin_lock(&kvm_lock);
>        list_del(&kvm->vm_list);
>        spin_unlock(&kvm_lock);

and killing the userspace, followed by an rmmod.

The problem is that kvm_destroy_vm can run while the module count
is 0. That means, you can remove the module while kvm_destroy_vm
is running. But kvm_destroy_vm is part of the module text. This
causes a kerneloops. The race exists without the msleep but is much
harder to trigger.

This patch requires the fix for anon_inodes (anon_inodes: use fops->owner
for module refcount).
With this patch, we can set the owner of all anonymous KVM inodes file
operations. The VFS will then control the KVM module refcount as long as there
is an open file. kvm_destroy_vm will be called by the release function of the
last closed file - before the VFS drops the module refcount.

e3a2a0d4e5 anon_inodes: use fops->owner for module refcount
There is an imbalance for anonymous inodes. If the fops->owner field is set,
the module reference count of owner is decreases on release.
("filp_close" --> "__fput" ---> "fops_put")

On the other hand, anon_inode_getfd does not increase the module reference
count of owner. This causes two problems:

- if owner is set, the module refcount goes negative
- if owner is not set, the module can be unloaded while code is running

This patch changes anon_inode_getfd to be symmetric regarding fops->owner
handling.

I have checked all existing users of anon_inode_getfd. Noone sets fops->owner,
thats why nobody has seen the module refcount negative. The refcounting was
tested with a patched and unpatched KVM module.(see patch 2/2) I also did an
epoll_open/close test.

decode set. We start with Src2None, Src2CL, and Src2ImmByte, Src2One to
support shld/shrd and we will expand it later.

6f89724829 KVM: Really remove a slot when a user ask us so
Right now, KVM does not remove a slot when we do a
register ioctl for size 0 (would be the expected behaviour).

Instead, we only mark it as empty, but keep all bitmaps
and allocated data structures present. It completely
nullifies our chances of reusing that same slot again
for mapping a different piece of memory.

In this patch, we destroy rmaps, and vfree() the
pointers that used to hold the dirty bitmap, rmap
and lpage_info structures.

7b7015914b KVM: ppc: mostly cosmetic updates to the exit timing accounting code
The only significant changes were to kvmppc_exit_timing_write() and
kvmppc_exit_timing_show(), both of which were dramatically simplified.

73e75b416f KVM: ppc: Implement in-kernel exit timing statistics
Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for
KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace.
For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.

Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.

Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).

c5fbdffbda KVM: ppc: save and restore guest mappings on context switch
Store shadow TLB entries in memory, but only use it on host context switch
(instead of every guest entry). This improves performance for most workloads on
440 by reducing the guest TLB miss rate.

7924bd4109 KVM: ppc: directly insert shadow mappings into the hardware TLB
Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the
guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of
memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also
required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry.

Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly
into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as
part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half
the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits,
at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some
guest entries.

These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which
implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the
need to walk arrays in software).

In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of
leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all
subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

c0ca609c5f powerpc/44x: declare tlb_44x_index for use in C code
KVM currently ignores the host's round robin TLB eviction selection, instead
maintaining its own TLB state and its own round robin index. However, by
participating in the normal 44x TLB selection, we can drop the alternate TLB
processing in KVM. This results in a significant performance improvement,
since that processing currently must be done on *every* guest exit.

Accordingly, KVM needs to be able to access and increment tlb_44x_index.
(KVM on 440 cannot be a module, so there is no need to export this symbol.)
