Song Liu noticed switch_mm_irqs_off() taking a lot of CPU time in recent
kernels,using 1.8% of a 48 CPU system during a netperf to localhost run.
Digging into the profile, we noticed that cpumask_clear_cpu and
cpumask_set_cpu together take about half of the CPU time taken by
switch_mm_irqs_off().
However, the CPUs running netperf end up switching back and forth
between netperf and the idle task, which does not require changes
to the mm_cpumask. Furthermore, the init_mm cpumask ends up being
the most heavily contended one in the system.
Simply skipping changes to mm_cpumask(&init_mm) reduces overhead.

Lazy TLB mode can result in an idle CPU being woken up by a TLB flush,
when all it really needs to do is reload %CR3 at the next context switch,
assuming no page table pages got freed.
Memory ordering is used to prevent race conditions between switch_mm_irqs_off,
which checks whether .tlb_gen changed, and the TLB invalidation code, which
increments .tlb_gen whenever page table entries get invalidated.
The atomic increment in inc_mm_tlb_gen is its own barrier; the context
switch code adds an explicit barrier between reading tlbstate.is_lazy and
next->context.tlb_gen.
Unlike the 2016 version of this patch, CPUs with cpu_tlbstate.is_lazy set
are not removed from the mm_cpumask(mm), since that would prevent the TLB
flush IPIs at page table free time from being sent to all the CPUs
that need them.
This patch reduces total CPU use in the system by about 1-2% for a
memcache workload on two socket systems, and by about 1% for a heavily
multi-process netperf between two systems.

Andy discovered that speculative memory accesses while in lazy
TLB mode can crash a system, when a CPU tries to dereference a
speculative access using memory contents that used to be valid
page table memory, but have since been reused for something else
and point into la-la land.
The latter problem can be prevented in two ways. The first is to
always send a TLB shootdown IPI to CPUs in lazy TLB mode, while
the second one is to only send the TLB shootdown at page table
freeing time.
The second should result in fewer IPIs, since operationgs like
mprotect and madvise are very common with some workloads, but
do not involve page table freeing. Also, on munmap, batching
of page table freeing covers much larger ranges of virtual
memory than the batching of unmapped user pages.

Flush indirect branches when switching into a process that marked itself
non dumpable. This protects high value processes like gpg better,
without having too high performance overhead.
If done naïvely, we could switch to a kernel idle thread and then back
to the original process, such as:
process A -> idle -> process A
In such scenario, we do not have to do IBPB here even though the process
is non-dumpable, as we are switching back to the same process after a
hiatus.
To avoid the redundant IBPB, which is expensive, we track the last mm
user context ID. The cost is to have an extra u64 mm context id to track
the last mm we were using before switching to the init_mm used by idle.
Avoiding the extra IBPB is probably worth the extra memory for this
common scenario.
For those cases where tlb_defer_switch_to_init_mm() returns true (non
PCID), lazy tlb will defer switch to init_mm, so we will not be changing
the mm for the process A -> idle -> process A switch. So IBPB will be
skipped for this case.
Thanks to the reviewers and Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion of
using ctx_id which got rid of the problem of mm pointer recycling.

Neil Berrington reported a double-fault on a VM with 768GB of RAM that uses
large amounts of vmalloc space with PTI enabled.
The cause is that load_new_mm_cr3() was never fixed to take the 5-level pgd
folding code into account, so, on a 4-level kernel, the pgd synchronization
logic compiles away to exactly nothing.
Interestingly, the problem doesn't trigger with nopti. I assume this is
because the kernel is mapped with global pages if we boot with nopti. The
sequence of operations when we create a new task is that we first load its
mm while still running on the old stack (which crashes if the old stack is
unmapped in the new mm unless the TLB saves us), then we call
prepare_switch_to(), and then we switch to the new stack.
prepare_switch_to() pokes the new stack directly, which will populate the
mapping through vmalloc_fault(). I assume that we're getting lucky on
non-PTI systems -- the old stack's TLB entry stays alive long enough to
make it all the way through prepare_switch_to() and switch_to() so that we
make it to a valid stack.

We can use PCID to retain the TLBs across CR3 switches; including those now
part of the user/kernel switch. This increases performance of kernel
entry/exit at the cost of more expensive/complicated TLB flushing.
Now that we have two address spaces, one for kernel and one for user space,
we need two PCIDs per mm. We use the top PCID bit to indicate a user PCID
(just like we use the PFN LSB for the PGD). Since we do TLB invalidation
from kernel space, the existing code will only invalidate the kernel PCID,
we augment that by marking the corresponding user PCID invalid, and upon
switching back to userspace, use a flushing CR3 write for the switch.
In order to access the user_pcid_flush_mask we use PER_CPU storage, which
means the previously established SWAPGS vs CR3 ordering is now mandatory
and required.
Having to do this memory access does require additional registers, most
sites have a functioning stack and we can spill one (RAX), sites without
functional stack need to otherwise provide the second scratch register.
Note: PCID is generally available on Intel Sandybridge and later CPUs.
Note: Up until this point TLB flushing was broken in this series.

If changing the page tables in such a way that an invalidation of all
contexts (aka. PCIDs / ASIDs) is required, they can be actively invalidated
by:
1. INVPCID for each PCID (works for single pages too).
2. Load CR3 with each PCID without the NOFLUSH bit set
3. Load CR3 with the NOFLUSH bit set for each and do INVLPG for each address.
But, none of these are really feasible since there are ~6 ASIDs (12 with
PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION) at the time that invalidation is required.
Instead of actively invalidating them, invalidate the *current* context and
also mark the cpu_tlbstate _quickly_ to indicate future invalidation to be
required.
At the next context-switch, look for this indicator
('invalidate_other' being set) invalidate all of the
cpu_tlbstate.ctxs[] entries.
This ensures that any future context switches will do a full flush
of the TLB, picking up the previous changes.

This reverts commit 43858b4f25.
The reason I removed the leave_mm() calls in question is because the
heuristic wasn't needed after that patch. With the original version
of my PCID series, we never flushed a "lazy cpu" (i.e. a CPU running
kernel thread) due a flush on the loaded mm.
Unfortunately, that caused architectural issues, so now I've
reinstated these flushes on non-PCID systems in:
commit b956575bed ("x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode").
That, in turn, gives us a power management and occasionally
performance regression as compared to old kernels: a process that
goes into a deep idle state on a given CPU and gets its mm flushed
due to activity on a different CPU will wake the idle CPU.
Reinstate the old ugly heuristic: if a CPU goes into ACPI C3 or an
intel_idle state that is likely to cause a TLB flush gets its mm
switched to init_mm before going idle.
FWIW, this heuristic is lousy. Whether we should change CR3 before
idle isn't a good hint except insofar as the performance hit is a bit
lower if the TLB is getting flushed by the idle code anyway. What we
really want to know is whether we anticipate being idle long enough
that the mm is likely to be flushed before we wake up. This is more a
matter of the expected latency than the idle state that gets chosen.
This heuristic also completely fails on systems that don't know
whether the TLB will be flushed (e.g. AMD systems?). OTOH it may be a
bit obsolete anyway -- PCID systems don't presently benefit from this
heuristic at all.
We also shouldn't do this callback from innermost bit of the idle code
due to the RCU nastiness it causes. All the information need is
available before rcu_idle_enter() needs to happen.

was an outdated patch that well tested and fixed the bug but didn't
address Borislav's review comments.
Tidy it up:
- The name "tlb_use_lazy_mode()" was highly confusing. Change it to
"tlb_defer_switch_to_init_mm()", which describes what it actually
means.
- Move the static_branch crap into a helper.
- Improve comments.
Actually removing the debugfs option is in the next patch.

Since commit:
94b1b03b51 ("x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB mode and TLB freshness tracking")
x86's lazy TLB mode has been all the way lazy: when running a kernel thread
(including the idle thread), the kernel keeps using the last user mm's
page tables without attempting to maintain user TLB coherence at all.
From a pure semantic perspective, this is fine -- kernel threads won't
attempt to access user pages, so having stale TLB entries doesn't matter.
Unfortunately, I forgot about a subtlety. By skipping TLB flushes,
we also allow any paging-structure caches that may exist on the CPU
to become incoherent. This means that we can have a
paging-structure cache entry that references a freed page table, and
the CPU is within its rights to do a speculative page walk starting
at the freed page table.
I can imagine this causing two different problems:
- A speculative page walk starting from a bogus page table could read
IO addresses. I haven't seen any reports of this causing problems.
- A speculative page walk that involves a bogus page table can install
garbage in the TLB. Such garbage would always be at a user VA, but
some AMD CPUs have logic that triggers a machine check when it notices
these bogus entries. I've seen a couple reports of this.
Boris further explains the failure mode:

To fix this, reinstate TLB coherence in lazy mode. With this patch
applied, we do it in one of two ways:
- If we have PCID, we simply switch back to init_mm's page tables
when we enter a kernel thread -- this seems to be quite cheap
except for the cost of serializing the CPU.
- If we don't have PCID, then we set a flag and switch to init_mm
the first time we would otherwise need to flush the TLB.
The /sys/kernel/debug/x86/tlb_use_lazy_mode debug switch can be changed
to override the default mode for benchmarking.
In theory, we could optimize this better by only flushing the TLB in
lazy CPUs when a page table is freed. Doing that would require
auditing the mm code to make sure that all page table freeing goes
through tlb_remove_page() as well as reworking some data structures
to implement the improved flush logic.

When Linux brings a CPU down and back up, it switches to init_mm and then
loads swapper_pg_dir into CR3. With PCID enabled, this has the side effect
of masking off the ASID bits in CR3.
This can result in some confusion in the TLB handling code. If we
bring a CPU down and back up with any ASID other than 0, we end up
with the wrong ASID active on the CPU after resume. This could
cause our internal state to become corrupt, although major
corruption is unlikely because init_mm doesn't have any user pages.
More obviously, if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, we'll trip over an assertion
in the next context switch. The result of *that* is a failure to
resume from suspend with probability 1 - 1/6^(cpus-1).
Fix it by reinitializing cpu_tlbstate on resume and CPU bringup.

PCID is a "process context ID" -- it's what other architectures call
an address space ID. Every non-global TLB entry is tagged with a
PCID, only TLB entries that match the currently selected PCID are
used, and we can switch PGDs without flushing the TLB. x86's
PCID is 12 bits.
This is an unorthodox approach to using PCID. x86's PCID is far too
short to uniquely identify a process, and we can't even really
uniquely identify a running process because there are monster
systems with over 4096 CPUs. To make matters worse, past attempts
to use all 12 PCID bits have resulted in slowdowns instead of
speedups.
This patch uses PCID differently. We use a PCID to identify a
recently-used mm on a per-cpu basis. An mm has no fixed PCID
binding at all; instead, we give it a fresh PCID each time it's
loaded except in cases where we want to preserve the TLB, in which
case we reuse a recent value.
Here are some benchmark results, done on a Skylake laptop at 2.3 GHz
(turbo off, intel_pstate requesting max performance) under KVM with
the guest using idle=poll (to avoid artifacts when bouncing between
CPUs). I haven't done any real statistics here -- I just ran them
in a loop and picked the fastest results that didn't look like
outliers. Unpatched means commit a4eb8b9935, so all the
bookkeeping overhead is gone.

Changes to the existing page table macros will allow the SME support to
be enabled in a simple fashion with minimal changes to files that use these
macros. Since the memory encryption mask will now be part of the regular
pagetable macros, we introduce two new macros (_PAGE_TABLE_NOENC and
_KERNPG_TABLE_NOENC) to allow for early pagetable creation/initialization
without the encryption mask before SME becomes active. Two new pgprot()
macros are defined to allow setting or clearing the page encryption mask.
The FIXMAP_PAGE_NOCACHE define is introduced for use with MMIO. SME does
not support encryption for MMIO areas so this define removes the encryption
mask from the page attribute.
Two new macros are introduced (__sme_pa() / __sme_pa_nodebug()) to allow
creating a physical address with the encryption mask. These are used when
working with the cr3 register so that the PGD can be encrypted. The current
__va() macro is updated so that the virtual address is generated based off
of the physical address without the encryption mask thus allowing the same
virtual address to be generated regardless of whether encryption is enabled
for that physical location or not.
Also, an early initialization function is added for SME. If SME is active,
this function:
- Updates the early_pmd_flags so that early page faults create mappings
with the encryption mask.
- Updates the __supported_pte_mask to include the encryption mask.
- Updates the protection_map entries to include the encryption mask so
that user-space allocations will automatically have the encryption mask
applied.

x86's lazy TLB mode used to be fairly weak -- it would switch to
init_mm the first time it tried to flush a lazy TLB. This meant an
unnecessary CR3 write and, if the flush was remote, an unnecessary
IPI.
Rewrite it entirely. When we enter lazy mode, we simply remove the
CPU from mm_cpumask. This means that we need a way to figure out
whether we've missed a flush when we switch back out of lazy mode.
I use the tlb_gen machinery to track whether a context is up to
date.
Note to reviewers: this patch, my itself, looks a bit odd. I'm
using an array of length 1 containing (ctx_id, tlb_gen) rather than
just storing tlb_gen, and making it at array isn't necessary yet.
I'm doing this because the next few patches add PCID support, and,
with PCID, we need ctx_id, and the array will end up with a length
greater than 1. Making it an array now means that there will be
less churn and therefore less stress on your eyeballs.
NB: This is dubious but, AFAICT, still correct on Xen and UV.
xen_exit_mmap() uses mm_cpumask() for nefarious purposes and this
patch changes the way that mm_cpumask() works. This should be okay,
since Xen *also* iterates all online CPUs to find all the CPUs it
needs to twiddle.
The UV tlbflush code is rather dated and should be changed.

There are two kernel features that would benefit from tracking
how up-to-date each CPU's TLB is in the case where IPIs aren't keeping
it up to date in real time:
- Lazy mm switching currently works by switching to init_mm when
it would otherwise flush. This is wasteful: there isn't fundamentally
any need to update CR3 at all when going lazy or when returning from
lazy mode, nor is there any need to receive flush IPIs at all. Instead,
we should just stop trying to keep the TLB coherent when we go lazy and,
when unlazying, check whether we missed any flushes.
- PCID will let us keep recent user contexts alive in the TLB. If we
start doing this, we need a way to decide whether those contexts are
up to date.
On some paravirt systems, remote TLBs can be flushed without IPIs.
This won't update the target CPUs' tlb_gens, which may cause
unnecessary local flushes later on. We can address this if it becomes
a problem by carefully updating the target CPU's tlb_gen directly.
By itself, this patch is a very minor optimization that avoids
unnecessary flushes when multiple TLB flushes targetting the same CPU
race. The complexity in this patch would not be worth it on its own,
but it will enable improved lazy TLB tracking and PCID.

It was historically possible to have two concurrent TLB flushes
targetting the same CPU: one initiated locally and one initiated
remotely. This can now cause an OOPS in leave_mm() at
arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:47:
if (this_cpu_read(cpu_tlbstate.state) == TLBSTATE_OK)
BUG();
with this call trace:
flush_tlb_func_local arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:239 [inline]
flush_tlb_mm_range+0x26d/0x370 arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:317
Without reentrancy, this OOPS is impossible: leave_mm() is only
called if we're not in TLBSTATE_OK, but then we're unexpectedly
in TLBSTATE_OK in leave_mm().
This can be caused by flush_tlb_func_remote() happening between
the two checks and calling leave_mm(), resulting in two consecutive
leave_mm() calls on the same CPU with no intervening switch_mm()
calls.
We never saw this OOPS before because the old leave_mm()
implementation didn't put us back in TLBSTATE_OK, so the assertion
didn't fire.
Nadav noticed the reentrancy issue in a different context, but
neither of us realized that it caused a problem yet.

Originally, Linux reloaded the LDT whenever the prev mm or the next
mm had an LDT. It was changed in 2002 in:
0bbed3beb4f2 ("[PATCH] Thread-Local Storage (TLS) support")
(commit from the historical tree), like this:
- /* load_LDT, if either the previous or next thread
- * has a non-default LDT.
+ /*
+ * load the LDT, if the LDT is different:
*/
- if (next->context.size+prev->context.size)
+ if (unlikely(prev->context.ldt != next->context.ldt))
load_LDT(&next->context);
The current code is unlikely to avoid any LDT reloads, since different
mms won't share an LDT.
When we redo lazy mode to stop flush IPIs without switching to
init_mm, though, the current logic would become incorrect: it will
be possible to have real_prev == next but nonetheless have a stale
LDT descriptor.
Simplify the code to update LDTR if either the previous or the next
mm has an LDT, i.e. effectively restore the historical logic..
While we're at it, clean up the code by moving all the ifdeffery to
a header where it belongs.

Lazy TLB state is currently managed in a rather baroque manner.
AFAICT, there are three possible states:
- Non-lazy. This means that we're running a user thread or a
kernel thread that has called use_mm(). current->mm ==
current->active_mm == cpu_tlbstate.active_mm and
cpu_tlbstate.state == TLBSTATE_OK.
- Lazy with user mm. We're running a kernel thread without an mm
and we're borrowing an mm_struct. We have current->mm == NULL,
current->active_mm == cpu_tlbstate.active_mm, cpu_tlbstate.state
!= TLBSTATE_OK (i.e. TLBSTATE_LAZY or 0). The current cpu is set
in mm_cpumask(current->active_mm). CR3 points to
current->active_mm->pgd. The TLB is up to date.
- Lazy with init_mm. This happens when we call leave_mm(). We
have current->mm == NULL, current->active_mm ==
cpu_tlbstate.active_mm, but that mm is only relelvant insofar as
the scheduler is tracking it for refcounting. cpu_tlbstate.state
!= TLBSTATE_OK. The current cpu is clear in
mm_cpumask(current->active_mm). CR3 points to swapper_pg_dir,
i.e. init_mm->pgd.
This patch simplifies the situation. Other than perf, x86 stops
caring about current->active_mm at all. We have
cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm pointing to the mm that CR3 references. The
TLB is always up to date for that mm. leave_mm() just switches us
to init_mm. There are no longer any special cases for mm_cpumask,
and switch_mm() switches mms without worrying about laziness.
After this patch, cpu_tlbstate.state serves only to tell the TLB
flush code whether it may switch to init_mm instead of doing a
normal flush.
This makes fairly extensive changes to xen_exit_mmap(), which used
to look a bit like black magic.
Perf is unchanged. With or without this change, perf may behave a bit
erratically if it tries to read user memory in kernel thread context.
We should build on this patch to teach perf to never look at user
memory when cpu_tlbstate.loaded_mm != current->mm.

The UP asm/tlbflush.h generates somewhat nicer code than the SMP version.
Aside from that, it's fallen quite a bit behind the SMP code:
- flush_tlb_mm_range() didn't flush individual pages if the range
was small.
- The lazy TLB code was much weaker. This usually wouldn't matter,
but, if a kernel thread flushed its lazy "active_mm" more than
once (due to reclaim or similar), it wouldn't be unlazied and
would instead pointlessly flush repeatedly.
- Tracepoints were missing.
Aside from that, simply having the UP code around was a maintanence
burden, since it means that any change to the TLB flush code had to
make sure not to break it.
Simplify everything by deleting the UP code.

The local flush path is very similar to the remote flush path.
Merge them.
This is intended to make no difference to behavior whatsoever. It
removes some code and will make future changes to the flushing
mechanics simpler.
This patch does remove one small optimization: flush_tlb_mm_range()
now has an unconditional smp_mb() instead of using MOV to CR3 or
INVLPG as a full barrier when applicable. I think this is okay for
a few reasons. First, smp_mb() is quite cheap compared to the cost
of a TLB flush. Second, this rearrangement makes a bigger
optimization available: with some work on the SMP function call
code, we could do the local and remote flushes in parallel. Third,
I'm planning a rework of the TLB flush algorithm that will require
an atomic operation at the beginning of each flush, and that
operation will replace the smp_mb().
