On 22/09/21 02:05, Sean Christopherson wrote: Peter, I left the Intel PT mess as-is. Having to pass a NULL pointer from KVM arm64 seemed to be a lesser evil than more exports and multiple registration paths. This is a combination of ~2 series to fix bugs in the perf+KVM callbacks, optimize the callbacks by employing static_call, and do a variety of cleanup in both perf and KVM. Patch 1 fixes a mostly-theoretical bug where perf can deref a NULL pointer if KVM unregisters its callbacks while they're being accessed. In practice, compilers tend to avoid problematic reloads of the pointer and the PMI handler doesn't lose the race against module unloading, i.e doesn't hit a use-after-free. Patches 2 and 3 fix an Intel PT handling bug where KVM incorrectly eats PT interrupts when PT is supposed to be owned entirely by the host. Patches 4-9 clean up perf's callback infrastructure and switch to static_call for arm64 and x86 (the only survivors). Patches 10-16 clean up related KVM code and unify the arm64/x86 callbacks. Based on "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git queue", commit 680c7e3be6a3 ("KVM: x86: Exit to userspace ..."). Looks nice apart from a couple nits, I will gladly accept a topic branch with both the perf and the KVM parts. Thanks, Paolo v3: - Add wrappers for guest callbacks to that stubs can be provided when GUEST_PERF_EVENTS=n. - s/HAVE_GUEST_PERF_EVENTS/GUEST_PERF_EVENTS and select it from KVM and XEN_PV instead of from top-level arm64/x86. [Paolo] - Drop an unnecessary synchronize_rcu() when registering callbacks. [Peter] - Retain a WARN_ON_ONCE() when unregistering callbacks if the caller didn't provide the correct pointer. [Peter] - Rework the static_call patch to move it all to common perf. - Add a patch to drop the (un)register stubs, made possible after having KVM+XEN_PV select GUEST_PERF_EVENTS. - Split dropping guest callback "support" for arm, csky, etc... to a separate patch, to make introducing GUEST_PERF_EVENTS cleaner.v2 (relative to static_call v10):- Split the patch into the semantic change (multiplexed ->state) and introduction of static_call. - Don't use '0' for "not a guest RIP". - Handle unregister path. - Drop changes for architectures that can be culled entirely. v2 (relative to v1): - https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210828003558.713983-6-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx - Drop per-cpu approach. [Peter] - Fix mostly-theoretical reload and use-after-free with READ_ONCE(), WRITE_ONCE(), and synchronize_rcu(). [Peter] - Avoid new exports like the plague.
