KVM: Use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq

The problem:

On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:

1) hard interrupt
2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
4) vcpu thread is scheduled

This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
LAPIC path for a KVM guest.

The solution:

Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.

Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
is not allowed from hard interrupt context.

cyclictest command line:

This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.

Paolo asked for numbers from kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency

tip/sched/core 4.4.0-rc8-01134-g0905f04:

./x86-run x86/tscdeadline_latency.flat -cpu host

with idle=poll.

The test seems not to deliver really stable numbers though most of
them are smaller. Paolo write:

"Anything above ~10000 cycles means that the host went to C1 or
lower---the number means more or less nothing in that case.

The mean shows an improvement indeed."

mm/gup: Introduce get_user_pages_remote()

For protection keys, we need to understand whether protections
should be enforced in software or not. In general, we enforce
protections when working on our own task, but not when on others.
We call these "current" and "remote" operations.

This patch introduces a new get_user_pages() variant:

get_user_pages_remote()

Which is a replacement for when get_user_pages() is called on
non-current tsk/mm.

We also introduce a new gup flag: FOLL_REMOTE which can be used
for the "__" gup variants to get this new behavior.

The uprobes is_trap_at_addr() location holds mmap_sem and
calls get_user_pages(current->mm) on an instruction address. This
makes it a pretty unique gup caller. Being an instruction access
and also really originating from the kernel (vs. the app), I opted
to consider this a 'remote' access where protection keys will not
be enforced.

Without protection keys, this patch should not change any behavior.

/* The CPU might reorder the test for

The attached patch adds the missing memory barrier.

I found this issue when I was looking through the linux source code
for places calling waitqueue_active() before wake_up*(), but without
preceding memory barriers, after sending a patch to fix a similar
issue in drivers/tty/n_tty.c (Details about the original issue can be
found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/28/849).

kvm: Faults which trigger IO release the mmap_sem

When KVM handles a tdp fault it uses FOLL_NOWAIT. If the guest memory
has been swapped out or is behind a filemap, this will trigger async
readahead and return immediately. The rationale is that KVM will kick
back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other
guest process to take over.

If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async
workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In
either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will
block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users
now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency.

This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the
fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case
of IO wait.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"At over 200 commits, covering almost all supported architectures, this
was a pretty active cycle for KVM. Changes include:

- a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration, GDB
support and more

- ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall
interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by
Catalin)

- initial POWER8 and little-endian host support

- support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets

- pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace
interface and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware

- for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17. Still, we
have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested
fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have
always worked). And some optimizations too.

The only missing architecture here is ia64. It's not a coincidence
that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17"

There is the default batch mechanism, working as before, where the vcpu

Opposite to this, there is now the direct mechanism, that will push the

This way s390 can use an already existing architecture interface.

KVM: handle more completed apfs if possible

If it's no need to inject async #PF to PV guest we can handle
more completed apfs at one time, so we can retry guest #PF
as early as possible

KVM: Inject asynchronous page fault into a PV guest if page is swapped out.

Send async page fault to a PV guest if it accesses swapped out memory.
Guest will choose another task to run upon receiving the fault.

Allow async page fault injection only when guest is in user mode since
otherwise guest may be in non-sleepable context and will not be able
to reschedule.

Vcpu will be halted if guest will fault on the same page again or if
vcpu executes kernel code.
