Hello,
This patchset is our exploration of how to support 1G pages in guest_memfd, and
how the pages will be used in Confidential VMs.
The patchset covers:
+ How to get 1G pages
+ Allowing mmap() of guest_memfd to userspace so that both private and shared
memory can use the same physical pages
+ Splitting and reconstructing pages to support conversions and mmap()
+ How the VM, userspace and guest_memfd interact to support conversions
+ Selftests to test all the above
+ Selftests also demonstrate the conversion flow between VM, userspace and
guest_memfd.
Why 1G pages in guest memfd?
Bring guest_memfd to performance and memory savings parity with VMs that are
backed by HugeTLBfs.
+ Performance is improved with 1G pages by more TLB hits and faster page walks
on TLB misses.
+ Memory savings from 1G pages comes from HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization (HVO).
Options for 1G page support:
1. HugeTLB
2. Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA)
3. Other suggestions are welcome!
Comparison between options:
1. HugeTLB
+ Refactor HugeTLB to separate allocator from the rest of HugeTLB
+ Pro: Graceful transition for VMs backed with HugeTLB to guest_memfd
+ Near term: Allows co-tenancy of HugeTLB and guest_memfd backed VMs
+ Pro: Can provide iterative steps toward new future allocator
+ Unexplored: Managing userspace-visible changes
+ e.g. HugeTLB's free_hugepages will decrease if HugeTLB is used,
but not when future allocator is used
2. CMA
+ Port some HugeTLB features to be applied on CMA
+ Pro: Clean slate
What would refactoring HugeTLB involve?
(Some refactoring was done in this RFC, more can be done.)
1. Broadly involves separating the HugeTLB allocator from the rest of HugeTLB
+ Brings more modularity to HugeTLB
+ No functionality change intended
+ Likely step towards HugeTLB's integration into core-mm
2. guest_memfd will use just the allocator component of HugeTLB, not including
the complex parts of HugeTLB like
+ Userspace reservations (resv_map)
+ Shared PMD mappings
+ Special page walkers
What features would need to be ported to CMA?
+ Improved allocation guarantees
+ Per NUMA node pool of huge pages
+ Subpools per guest_memfd
+ Memory savings
+ Something like HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization
+ Configuration/reporting features
+ Configuration of number of pages available (and per NUMA node) at and
after host boot
+ Reporting of memory usage/availability statistics at runtime
HugeTLB was picked as the source of 1G pages for this RFC because it allows a
graceful transition, and retains memory savings from HVO.
To illustrate this, if a host machine uses HugeTLBfs to back VMs, and a
confidential VM were to be scheduled on that host, some HugeTLBfs pages would
have to be given up and returned to CMA for guest_memfd pages to be rebuilt from
that memory. This requires memory to be reserved for HVO to be removed and
reapplied on the new guest_memfd memory. This not only slows down memory
allocation but also trims the benefits of HVO. Memory would have to be reserved
on the host to facilitate these transitions.
Improving how guest_memfd uses the allocator in a future revision of this RFC:
To provide an easier transition away from HugeTLB, guest_memfd's use of HugeTLB
should be limited to these allocator functions:
+ reserve(node, page_size, num_pages) => opaque handle
+ Used when a guest_memfd inode is created to reserve memory from backend
allocator
+ allocate(handle, mempolicy, page_size) => folio
+ To allocate a folio from guest_memfd's reservation
+ split(handle, folio, target_page_size) => void
+ To take a huge folio, and split it to smaller folios, restore to filemap
+ reconstruct(handle, first_folio, nr_pages) => void
+ To take a folio, and reconstruct a huge folio out of nr_pages from the
first_folio
+ free(handle, folio) => void
+ To return folio to guest_memfd's reservation
+ error(handle, folio) => void
+ To handle memory errors
+ unreserve(handle) => void
+ To return guest_memfd's reservation to allocator backend
Userspace should only provide a page size when creating a guest_memfd and should
not have to specify HugeTLB.
Overview of patches:
+ Patches 01-12
+ Many small changes to HugeTLB, mostly to separate HugeTLBfs concepts from
HugeTLB, and to expose HugeTLB functions.
+ Patches 13-16
+ Letting guest_memfd use HugeTLB
+ Creation of each guest_memfd reserves pages from HugeTLB's global hstate
and puts it into the guest_memfd inode's subpool
+ Each folio allocation takes a page from the guest_memfd inode's subpool
+ Patches 17-21
+ Selftests for new HugeTLB features in guest_memfd
+ Patches 22-24
+ More small changes on the HugeTLB side to expose functions needed by
guest_memfd
+ Patch 25:
+ Uses the newly available functions from patches 22-24 to split HugeTLB
pages. In this patch, HugeTLB folios are always split to 4K before any
usage, private or shared.
+ Patches 26-28
+ Allow mmap() in guest_memfd and faulting in shared pages
+ Patch 29
+ Enables conversion between private/shared pages
+ Patch 30
+ Required to zero folios after conversions to avoid leaking initialized
kernel memory
+ Patch 31-38
+ Add selftests to test mapping pages to userspace, guest/host memory
sharing and update conversions tests
+ Patch 33 illustrates the conversion flow between VM/userspace/guest_memfd
+ Patch 39
+ Dynamically split and reconstruct HugeTLB pages instead of always
splitting before use. All earlier selftests are expected to still pass.
TODOs:
+ Add logic to wait for safe_refcount [1]
+ Look into lazy splitting/reconstruction of pages
+ Currently, when the KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES is invoked, not only is the
mem_attr_array and faultability updated, the pages in the requested range
are also split/reconstructed as necessary. We want to look into delaying
splitting/reconstruction to fault time.
+ Solve race between folios being faulted in and being truncated
+ When running private_mem_conversions_test with more than 1 vCPU, a folio
getting truncated may get faulted in by another process, causing elevated
mapcounts when the folio is freed (VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO).
+ Add intermediate splits (1G should first split to 2M and not split directly to
4K)
+ Use guest's lock instead of hugetlb_lock
+ Use multi-index xarray/replace xarray with some other data struct for
faultability flag
+ Refactor HugeTLB better, present generic allocator interface
Please let us know your thoughts on:
+ HugeTLB as the choice of transitional allocator backend
+ Refactoring HugeTLB to provide generic allocator interface
+ Shared/private conversion flow
+ Requiring user to request kernel to unmap pages from userspace using
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
+ Failing conversion on elevated mapcounts/pincounts/refcounts
+ Process of splitting/reconstructing page
+ Anything else!

2.46.0.598.g6f2099f65c-goog
Context
=======
We've observed within Red Hat that isolated, NOHZ_FULL CPUs running a
pure-userspace application get regularly interrupted by IPIs sent from
housekeeping CPUs. Those IPIs are caused by activity on the housekeeping CPUs
leading to various on_each_cpu() calls, e.g.:
64359.052209596 NetworkManager 0 1405 smp_call_function_many_cond (cpu=0, func=do_kernel_range_flush)
smp_call_function_many_cond+0x1
smp_call_function+0x39
on_each_cpu+0x2a
flush_tlb_kernel_range+0x7b
__purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x70
_vm_unmap_aliases.part.42+0xdf
change_page_attr_set_clr+0x16a
set_memory_ro+0x26
bpf_int_jit_compile+0x2f9
bpf_prog_select_runtime+0xc6
bpf_prepare_filter+0x523
sk_attach_filter+0x13
sock_setsockopt+0x92c
__sys_setsockopt+0x16a
__x64_sys_setsockopt+0x20
do_syscall_64+0x87
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x65
The heart of this series is the thought that while we cannot remove NOHZ_FULL
CPUs from the list of CPUs targeted by these IPIs, they may not have to execute
the callbacks immediately. Anything that only affects kernelspace can wait
until the next user->kernel transition, providing it can be executed "early
enough" in the entry code.
The original implementation is from Peter [1]. Nicolas then added kernel TLB
invalidation deferral to that [2], and I picked it up from there.
Deferral approach
=================
Storing each and every callback, like a secondary call_single_queue turned out
to be a no-go: the whole point of deferral is to keep NOHZ_FULL CPUs in
userspace for as long as possible - no signal of any form would be sent when
deferring an IPI. This means that any form of queuing for deferred callbacks
would end up as a convoluted memory leak.
Deferred IPIs must thus be coalesced, which this series achieves by assigning
IPIs a "type" and having a mapping of IPI type to callback, leveraged upon
kernel entry.
What about IPIs whose callback take a parameter, you may ask?
Peter suggested during OSPM23 [3] that since on_each_cpu() targets
housekeeping CPUs *and* isolated CPUs, isolated CPUs can access either global or
housekeeping-CPU-local state to "reconstruct" the data that would have been sent
via the IPI.
This series does not affect any IPI callback that requires an argument, but the
approach would remain the same (one coalescable callback executed on kernel
entry).
Kernel entry vs execution of the deferred operation
===================================================
This is what I've referred to as the "Danger Zone" during my LPC24 talk [4].
There is a non-zero length of code that is executed upon kernel entry before the
deferred operation can be itself executed (i.e. before we start getting into
context_tracking.c proper), i.e.:
idtentry_func_foo() <--- we're in the kernel
irqentry_enter()
enter_from_user_mode()
__ct_user_exit()
ct_kernel_enter_state()
ct_work_flush() <--- deferred operation is executed here
This means one must take extra care to what can happen in the early entry code,
and that <bad things> cannot happen. For instance, we really don't want to hit
instructions that have been modified by a remote text_poke() while we're on our
way to execute a deferred sync_core(). Patches doing the actual deferral have
more detail on this.
Patches
=======
o Patches 1-2 are standalone objtool cleanups.
o Patches 3-4 add an RCU testing feature.
o Patches 5-6 add infrastructure for annotating static keys and static calls
that may be used in noinstr code (courtesy of Josh).
o Patches 7-19 use said annotations on relevant keys / calls.
o Patch 20 enforces proper usage of said annotations (courtesy of Josh).
o Patches 21-23 fiddle with CT_STATE* within context tracking
o Patches 24-29 add the actual IPI deferral faff
o Patch 30 adds a freebie: deferring IPIs for NOHZ_IDLE. Not tested that much!
if you care about battery-powered devices and energy consumption, go give it
a try!

Stuff I'd like eyes and neurons on
==================================
Context-tracking vs idle. Patch 22 "improves" the situation by adding an
IDLE->KERNEL transition when getting an IRQ while idle, but it leaves the
following window:
~> IRQ
ct_nmi_enter()
state = state + CT_STATE_KERNEL - CT_STATE_IDLE
[...]
ct_nmi_exit()
state = state - CT_STATE_KERNEL + CT_STATE_IDLE
[...] /!\ CT_STATE_IDLE here while we're really in kernelspace! /!\
ct_cpuidle_exit()
state = state + CT_STATE_KERNEL - CT_STATE_IDLE
Said window is contained within cpu_idle_poll() and the cpuidle call within
cpuidle_enter_state(), both being noinstr (the former is __cpuidle which is
noinstr itself). Thus objtool will consider it as early entry and will warn
accordingly of any static key / call misuse, so the damage is somewhat
contained, but it's not ideal.
I tried fiddling with this but idle polling likes being annoying, as it is
shaped like so:
ct_cpuidle_enter();
raw_local_irq_enable();
while (!tif_need_resched() &&
(cpu_idle_force_poll || tick_check_broadcast_expired()))
cpu_relax();
raw_local_irq_disable();
ct_cpuidle_exit();
IOW, getting an IRQ that doesn't end up setting NEED_RESCHED while idle-polling
doesn't come near ct_cpuidle_exit(), which prevents me from having the outermost
ct_nmi_exit() leave the state as CT_STATE_KERNEL (rather than CT_STATE_IDLE).
Testing
=======
Xeon E5-2699 system with SMToff, NOHZ_FULL, isolated CPUs.
RHEL9 userspace.
Workload is using rteval (kernel compilation + hackbench) on housekeeping CPUs
and a dummy stay-in-userspace loop on the isolated CPUs. The main invocation is:
$ trace-cmd record -e "csd_queue_cpu" -f "cpu & CPUS{$ISOL_CPUS}" \
-e "ipi_send_cpumask" -f "cpumask & CPUS{$ISOL_CPUS}" \
-e "ipi_send_cpu" -f "cpu & CPUS{$ISOL_CPUS}" \
rteval --onlyload --loads-cpulist=$HK_CPUS \
--hackbench-runlowmem=True --duration=$DURATION
This only records IPIs sent to isolated CPUs, so any event there is interference
(with a bit of fuzz at the start/end of the workload when spawning the
processes). All tests were done with a duration of 6 hours.
v6.13-rc6
# This is the actual IPI count
$ trace-cmd report | grep callback | awk '{ print $(NF) }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
531 callback=generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x0
# These are the different CSD's that caused IPIs
$ trace-cmd report | grep csd_queue | awk '{ print $(NF-1) }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
12818 func=do_flush_tlb_all
910 func=do_kernel_range_flush
78 func=do_sync_core
v6.13-rc6 + patches:
# This is the actual IPI count
$ trace-cmd report | grep callback | awk '{ print $(NF) }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
# Zilch!
# These are the different CSD's that caused IPIs
$ trace-cmd report | grep csd_queue | awk '{ print $(NF-1) }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
# Nada!
Note that tlb_remove_table_smp_sync() showed up during testing of v3, and has
gone as mysteriously as it showed up. Yair had a series adressing this [5] which
would be worth revisiting.

2.46.0
Following the previous vIOMMU series, this adds another vDEVICE structure,
representing the association from an iommufd_device to an iommufd_viommu.
This gives the whole architecture a new "v" layer:
_______________________________________________________________________
| iommufd (with vIOMMU/vDEVICE) |
| _____________ _____________ |
| | | | | |
| |----------------| vIOMMU |<---| vDEVICE |<------| |
| | | | |_____________| | |
| | ______ | | _____________ ___|____ |
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | IOAS |<---|(HWPT_PAGING)|<---| HWPT_NESTED |<--| DEVICE | |
| | |______| |_____________| |_____________| |________| |
|______|________|______________|__________________|_______________|_____|
| | | | |
______v_____ | ______v_____ ______v_____ ___v__
| struct | | PFN | (paging) | | (nested) | |struct|
|iommu_device| |------>|iommu_domain|<----|iommu_domain|<----|device|
|____________| storage|____________| |____________| |______|
This vDEVICE object is used to collect and store all vIOMMU-related device
information/attributes in a VM. As an initial series for vDEVICE, add only
the virt_id to the vDEVICE, which is a vIOMMU specific device ID in a VM:
e.g. vSID of ARM SMMUv3, vDeviceID of AMD IOMMU, and vRID of Intel VT-d to
a Context Table. This virt_id helps IOMMU drivers to link the vID to a pID
of the device against the physical IOMMU instance. This is essential for a
vIOMMU-based invalidation, where the request contains a device's vID for a
device cache flush, e.g. ATC invalidation.
Therefore, with this vDEVICE object, support a vIOMMU-based invalidation,
by reusing IOMMUFD_CMD_HWPT_INVALIDATE for a vIOMMU object to flush cache
with a given driver data.
As for the implementation of the series, add driver support in ARM SMMUv3
for a real world use case.

2.43.0
Fixes an issue where out-of-tree kselftest builds fail when building
the BPF and bpftools components. The failure occurs because the top-level
Makefile passes a relative srctree path to its sub-Makefiles, which
leads to errors in locating necessary files.
For example, the following error is encountered:
```
$ make V=1 O=$build/ TARGETS=hid kselftest-all
...
make -C ../tools/testing/selftests all
make[4]: Entering directory '/path/to/linux/tools/testing/selftests/hid'
make -C /path/to/linux/tools/testing/selftests/../../../tools/lib/bpf OUTPUT=/path/to/linux/O/kselftest/hid/tools/build/libbpf/ \
EXTRA_CFLAGS='-g -O0' \
DESTDIR=/path/to/linux/O/kselftest/hid/tools prefix= all install_headers
make[5]: Entering directory '/path/to/linux/tools/lib/bpf'
...
make[5]: Entering directory '/path/to/linux/tools/bpf/bpftool'
Makefile:127: ../tools/build/Makefile.feature: No such file or directory
make[5]: *** No rule to make target '../tools/build/Makefile.feature'. Stop.
```
To resolve this, override the srctree in the kselftests's top Makefile
when performing an out-of-tree build. This ensures that all sub-Makefiles
have the correct path to the source tree, preventing directory resolution
errors.

2.44.0
The upcoming new Idle HLT Intercept feature allows for the HLT
instruction execution by a vCPU to be intercepted by the hypervisor
only if there are no pending V_INTR and V_NMI events for the vCPU.
When the vCPU is expected to service the pending V_INTR and V_NMI
events, the Idle HLT intercept won’t trigger. The feature allows the
hypervisor to determine if the vCPU is actually idle and reduces
wasteful VMEXITs.
The Idle HLT intercept feature is used for enlightened guests who wish
to securely handle the events. When an enlightened guest does a HLT
while an interrupt is pending, hypervisor will not have a way to
figure out whether the guest needs to be re-entered or not. The Idle
HLT intercept feature allows the HLT execution only if there are no
pending V_INTR and V_NMI events.
Presence of the Idle HLT Intercept feature is indicated via CPUID
function Fn8000_000A_EDX[30].
Document for the Idle HLT intercept feature is available at [1].
This series is based on kvm-x86/next (eb723766b103) + [2].
Testing Done:
- Tested the functionality for the Idle HLT intercept feature
using selftest ipi_hlt_test.
- Tested on normal, SEV, SEV-ES, SEV-SNP guest for the Idle HLT intercept
functionality.
- Tested the Idle HLT intercept functionality on nested guest.
v5 -> v6
- Incorporated Neeraj's review comments on selftest.
v4 -> v5
- Incorporated Sean's review comments on nested Idle HLT intercept support.
- Make svm_idle_hlt_test independent of the Idle HLT to run on all hardware.
v3 -> v4
- Drop the patches to add vcpu_get_stat() into a new series [2].
- Added nested Idle HLT intercept support.
v2 -> v3
- Incorporated Andrew's suggestion to structure vcpu_stat_types in
a way that each architecture can share the generic types and also
provide its own.
v1 -> v2
- Did changes in svm_idle_hlt_test based on the review comments from Sean.
- Added an enum based approach to get binary stats in vcpu_get_stat() which
doesn't use string to get stat data based on the comments from Sean.
- Added safe_halt() and cli() helpers based on the comments from Sean.
