cryptsetup fails on arm64 when using kernel encryption via AF_ALG socket.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1122937
The bug is caused by incorrect handling of unaligned data in
arch/arm64/crypto/aes-glue.c. Cryptsetup creates a buffer that is aligned
on 8 bytes, but not on 16 bytes. It opens AF_ALG socket and uses the
socket to encrypt data in the buffer. The arm64 crypto accelerator causes
data corruption or crashes in the scatterwalk_pagedone.
This patch fixes the bug by passing the residue bytes that were not
processed as the last parameter to blkcipher_walk_done.

This patch adds SMP support for BCM281XX and BCM21664 family SoCs.
This feature is controlled with a distinct config option such that
an SMP-enabled multi-v7 binary can be configured to run these SoCs
in uniprocessor mode. Since this SMP functionality is used for
multiple Broadcom mobile chip families the config option is called
ARCH_BCM_MOBILE_SMP (for lack of a better name).
On SoCs of this type, the secondary core is not held in reset on
power-on. Instead it loops in a ROM-based holding pen. To release
it, one must write into a special register a jump address whose
low-order bits have been replaced with a secondary core's id, then
trigger an event with SEV. On receipt of an event, the ROM code
will examine the register's contents, and if the low-order bits
match its cpu id, it will clear them and write the value back to the
register just prior to jumping to the address specified.
The location of the special register is defined in the device tree
using a "secondary-boot-reg" property in a node whose "enable-method"
matches.

Broadcom mobile SoCs use a ROM-implemented holding pen for
controlled boot of secondary cores. A special register is
used to communicate to the ROM that a secondary core should
start executing kernel code. This enable method is currently
used for members of the bcm281xx and bcm21664 SoC families.
The use of an enable method also allows the SMP operation vector to
be assigned as a result of device tree content for these SoCs.

With Book3S KVM we can create both PR and HV VMs in parallel on the same
machine. That gives us new challenges on the CAPs we return - both have
different capabilities.
When we get asked about CAPs on the kvm fd, there's nothing we can do. We
can try to be smart and assume we're running HV if HV is available, PR
otherwise. However with the newly added VM CHECK_EXTENSION we can now ask
for capabilities directly on a VM which knows whether it's PR or HV.
With this patch I can successfully expose KVM PVINFO data to user space
in the PR case, fixing magic page mapping for PAPR guests.

The KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION is only available on the kvm fd today. Unfortunately
on PPC some of the capabilities change depending on the way a VM was created.
So instead we need a way to expose capabilities as VM ioctl, so that we can

KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl to our vm ioctl portfolio.

The POWER8 processor has a Micro Partition Prefetch Engine, which is
a fancy way of saying "has way to store and load contents of L2 or
L2+MRU way of L3 cache". We initiate the storing of the log (list of
addresses) using the logmpp instruction and start restore by writing
to a SPR.
The logmpp instruction takes parameters in a single 64bit register:
- starting address of the table to store log of L2/L2+L3 cache contents
- 32kb for L2
- 128kb for L2+L3
- Aligned relative to maximum size of the table (32kb or 128kb)
- Log control (no-op, L2 only, L2 and L3, abort logout)
We should abort any ongoing logging before initiating one.
To initiate restore, we write to the MPPR SPR. The format of what to write
to the SPR is similar to the logmpp instruction parameter:
- starting address of the table to read from (same alignment requirements)
- table size (no data, until end of table)
- prefetch rate (from fastest possible to slower. about every 8, 16, 24 or
32 cycles)
The idea behind loading and storing the contents of L2/L3 cache is to
reduce memory latency in a system that is frequently swapping vcores on
a physical CPU.
The best case scenario for doing this is when some vcores are doing very
cache heavy workloads. The worst case is when they have about 0 cache hits,
so we just generate needless memory operations.
This implementation just does L2 store/load. In my benchmarks this proves
to be useful.
Benchmark 1:
- 16 core POWER8
- 3x Ubuntu 14.04LTS guests (LE) with 8 VCPUs each
- No split core/SMT
- two guests running sysbench memory test.
sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=8 run
- one guest running apache bench (of default HTML page)
ab -n 490000 -c 400 http://localhost/
This benchmark aims to measure performance of real world application (apache)
where other guests are cache hot with their own workloads. The sysbench memory
benchmark does pointer sized writes to a (small) memory buffer in a loop.
In this benchmark with this patch I can see an improvement both in requests
per second (~5%) and in mean and median response times (again, about 5%).
The spread of minimum and maximum response times were largely unchanged.
benchmark 2:
- Same VM config as benchmark 1
- all three guests running sysbench memory benchmark
This benchmark aims to see if there is a positive or negative affect to this
cache heavy benchmark. Although due to the nature of the benchmark (stores) we
may not see a difference in performance, but rather hopefully an improvement
in consistency of performance (when vcore switched in, don't have to wait
many times for cachelines to be pulled in)
The results of this benchmark are improvements in consistency of performance
rather than performance itself. With this patch, the few outliers in duration
go away and we get more consistent performance in each guest.
benchmark 3:
- same 3 guests and CPU configuration as benchmark 1 and 2.
- two idle guests
- 1 guest running STREAM benchmark
This scenario also saw performance improvement with this patch. On Copy and
Scale workloads from STREAM, I got 5-6% improvement with this patch. For
Add and triad, it was around 10% (or more).
benchmark 4:
- same 3 guests as previous benchmarks
- two guests running sysbench --memory, distinctly different cache heavy
workload
- one guest running STREAM benchmark.
Similar improvements to benchmark 3.
benchmark 5:
- 1 guest, 8 VCPUs, Ubuntu 14.04
- Host configured with split core (SMT8, subcores-per-core=4)
- STREAM benchmark
In this benchmark, we see a 10-20% performance improvement across the board
of STREAM benchmark results with this patch.

At present, kvmppc_ld calls kvmppc_xlate, and if kvmppc_xlate returns
any error indication, it returns -ENOENT, which is taken to mean an
HPTE not found error. However, the error could have been a segment
found (no SLB entry) or a permission error. Similarly,
kvmppc_pte_to_hva currently does permission checking, but any error
from it is taken by kvmppc_ld to mean that the access is an emulated
MMIO access. Also, kvmppc_ld does no execute permission checking.
This fixes these problems by (a) returning any error from kvmppc_xlate
directly, (b) moving the permission check from kvmppc_pte_to_hva
into kvmppc_ld, and (c) adding an execute permission check to kvmppc_ld.
This is similar to what was done for kvmppc_st() by commit 82ff911317c3

Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the
one_reg interface. This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace
to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the
upper 32 bits. The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which
reduces performance in the guest.
We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID,
since that would break existing userspace binaries. Instead we define
a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit. Userspace can still use
the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in
the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL).
If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD
as well.

On book3e, KVM uses load external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction to read
guest last instruction on the exit path. lwepx exceptions (DTLB_MISS, DSI
and LRAT), generated by loading a guest address, needs to be handled by KVM.
These exceptions are generated in a substituted guest translation context
(EPLC[EGS] = 1) from host context (MSR[GS] = 0).
Currently, KVM hooks only interrupts generated from guest context (MSR[GS] = 1),
doing minimal checks on the fast path to avoid host performance degradation.
lwepx exceptions originate from host state (MSR[GS] = 0) which implies
additional checks in DO_KVM macro (beside the current MSR[GS] = 1) by looking
at the Exception Syndrome Register (ESR[EPID]) and the External PID Load Context
Register (EPLC[EGS]). Doing this on each Data TLB miss exception is obvious
too intrusive for the host.
Read guest last instruction from kvmppc_load_last_inst() by searching for the
physical address and kmap it. This address the TODO for TLB eviction and
execute-but-not-read entries, and allow us to get rid of lwepx until we are
able to handle failures.
A simple stress benchmark shows a 1% sys performance degradation compared with
previous approach (lwepx without failure handling):
time for i in `seq 1 10000`; do /bin/echo > /dev/null; done
real 0m 8.85s
user 0m 4.34s
sys 0m 4.48s
vs
real 0m 8.84s
user 0m 4.36s
sys 0m 4.44s
A solution to use lwepx and to handle its exceptions in KVM would be to temporary
highjack the interrupt vector from host. This imposes additional synchronizations
for cores like FSL e6500 that shares host IVOR registers between hardware threads.
This optimized solution can be later developed on top of this patch.

On book3e, guest last instruction is read on the exit path using load
external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction. This load operation may fail
due to TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries.
This patch lay down the path for an alternative solution to read the guest
last instruction, by allowing kvmppc_get_lat_inst() function to fail.
Architecture specific implmentations of kvmppc_load_last_inst() may read
last guest instruction and instruct the emulation layer to re-execute the
guest in case of failure.
Make kvmppc_get_last_inst() definition common between architectures.

In the context of replacing kvmppc_ld() function calls with a version of
kvmppc_get_last_inst() which allow to fail, Alex Graf suggested this:
"If we get EMULATE_AGAIN, we just have to make sure we go back into the guest.
No need to inject an ISI into the guest - it'll do that all by itself.
With an error returning kvmppc_get_last_inst we can just use completely
get rid of kvmppc_read_inst() and only use kvmppc_get_last_inst() instead."
As a intermediate step get rid of kvmppc_read_inst() and only use kvmppc_ld()
instead.

The commit 1d628af7 "add load inst fixup" made an attempt to handle
failures generated by reading the guest current instruction. The fixup
code that was added works by chance hiding the real issue.
Load external pid (lwepx) instruction, used by KVM to read guest
instructions, is executed in a subsituted guest translation context
(EPLC[EGS] = 1). In consequence lwepx's TLB error and data storage
interrupts need to be handled by KVM, even though these interrupts
are generated from host context (MSR[GS] = 0) where lwepx is executed.
Currently, KVM hooks only interrupts generated from guest context
(MSR[GS] = 1), doing minimal checks on the fast path to avoid host
performance degradation. As a result, the host kernel handles lwepx
faults searching the faulting guest data address (loaded in DEAR) in
its own Logical Partition ID (LPID) 0 context. In case a host translation
is found the execution returns to the lwepx instruction instead of the
fixup, the host ending up in an infinite loop.
Revert the commit "add load inst fixup". lwepx issue will be addressed
in a subsequent patch without needing fixup code.
