KVM: x86/mmu: Age TDP MMU SPTEs without holding mmu_lock

Walk the TDP MMU in an RCU read-side critical section without holding
mmu_lock when harvesting and potentially updating age information on
TDP MMU SPTEs. Add a new macro to do RCU-safe walking of TDP MMU roots,
and do all SPTE aging with atomic updates; while clobbering Accessed
information is ok, KVM must not corrupt other bits, e.g. must not drop
a Dirty or Writable bit when making a SPTE young..

If updating a SPTE to mark it for access tracking fails, leave it as is
and treat it as if it were young. If the spte is being actively modified,
it is most likely young.

Acquire and release mmu_lock for write when harvesting age information
from the shadow MMU, as the shadow MMU doesn't yet support aging outside
of mmu_lock.

KVM: x86: Break CONFIG_KVM_X86's direct dependency on KVM_INTEL || KVM_AMD

Rework CONFIG_KVM_X86's dependency to only check if KVM_INTEL or KVM_AMD
is selected, i.e. not 'n'. Having KVM_X86 depend directly on the vendor
modules results in KVM_X86 being set to 'm' if at least one of KVM_INTEL
or KVM_AMD is enabled, but neither is 'y', regardless of the value of KVM
itself.

The documentation for def_tristate doesn't explicitly state that this is
the intended behavior, but it does clearly state that the "if" section is
parsed as a dependency, i.e. the behavior is consistent with how tristate
dependencies are handled in general.

Optionally dependencies for this default value can be added with "if".

respon

KVM: x86: switch hugepage recovery thread to vhost_task

kvm_vm_create_worker_thread() is meant to be used for kthreads that
can consume significant amounts of CPU time on behalf of a VM or in
response to how the VM behaves (for example how it accesses its memory).
Therefore it wants to charge the CPU time consumed by that work to
the VM's container.

However, because of these threads, cgroups which have kvm instances
inside never complete freezing. This can be trivially reproduced:

root@test ~# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
root@test ~# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs
root@test ~# qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -enable-kvm

and in another terminal:

root@test ~# echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.freeze
root@test ~# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.events
populated 1
frozen 0

The cgroup freezing happens in the signal delivery path but
kvm_nx_huge_page_recovery_worker, while joining non-root cgroups, never
calls into the signal delivery path and thus never gets frozen. Because
the cgroup freezer determines whether a given cgroup is frozen by
comparing the number of frozen threads to the total number of threads
in the cgroup, the cgroup never becomes frozen and users waiting for
the state transition may hang indefinitely.

Since the worker kthread is tied to a user process, it's better if
it behaves similarly to user tasks as much as possible, including
being able to send SIGSTOP and SIGCONT. In fact, vhost_task is all
that kvm_vm_create_worker_thread() wanted to be and more: not only it
inherits the userspace process's cgroups, it has other niceties like
being parented properly in the process tree. Use it instead of the
homegrown alternative.

Incidentally, the new code is also better behaved when you flip recovery
back and forth to disabled and back to enabled. If your recovery period
is 1 minute, it will run the next recovery after 1 minute independent
of how many times you flipped the parameter.

KVM: x86: Don't emit TLB flushes when aging SPTEs for mmu_notifiers

Follow x86's primary MMU, which hasn't flushed TLBs when clearing Accessed
bits for 10+ years, and skip all TLB flushes when aging SPTEs in response
to a clear_flush_young() mmu_notifier event. As documented in x86's
ptep_clear_flush_young(), the probability and impact of "bad" reclaim due
to stale A-bit information is relatively low, whereas the performance cost
of TLB flushes is relatively high. I.e. the cost of flushing TLBs
outweighs the benefits.

On KVM x86, the cost of TLB flushes is even higher, as KVM doesn't batch
TLB flushes for mmu_notifier events (KVM's mmu_notifier contract with MM
makes it all but impossible), and sending IPIs forces all running vCPUs to
go through a VM-Exit => VM-Enter roundtrip.

Furthermore, MGLRU aging of secondary MMUs is expected to use flush-less
mmu_notifiers, i.e. flushing for the !MGLRU will make even less sense, and
will be actively confusing as it wouldn't be clear why KVM "needs" to
flush TLBs for legacy LRU aging, but not for MGLRU aging.

KVM: x86: leave kvm.ko out of the build if no vendor module is requested

kvm.ko is nothing but library code shared by kvm-intel.ko and kvm-amd.ko.
It provides no functionality on its own and it is unnecessary unless one
of the vendor-specific module is compiled. In particular, /dev/kvm is
not created until one of kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko is loaded.

Use CONFIG_KVM to decide if it is built-in or a module, but use the
vendor-specific modules for the actual decision on whether to build it.

This also fixes a build failure when CONFIG_KVM_INTEL and CONFIG_KVM_AMD
are both disabled. The cpu_emergency_register_virt_callback() function
is called from kvm.ko, but it is only defined if at least one of
CONFIG_KVM_INTEL and CONFIG_KVM_AMD is provided.

KVM: Remove HIGH_RES_TIMERS dependency

Commit 92b5265d38f6a ("KVM: Depend on HIGH_RES_TIMERS") added a dependency
to high resolution timers with the comment:

KVM lapic timer and tsc deadline timer based on hrtimer,
setting a leftmost node to rb tree and then do hrtimer reprogram.
If hrtimer not configured as high resolution, hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram
do nothing and then make kvm lapic timer and tsc deadline timer fail.

That was back in 2012, where hrtimer_start_range_ns() would do the
reprogramming with hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram(). But as that was a nop with
high resolution timers disabled, this did not work. But a lot has changed
in the last 12 years.

For example, commit 49a2a07514a3a ("hrtimer: Kick lowres dynticks targets on
timer enqueue") modifies __hrtimer_start_range_ns() to work with low res
timers. There's been lots of other changes that make low res work.

ChromeOS has tested this before as well, and it hasn't seen any issues
with running KVM with high res timers disabled. There could be problems,
especially at low HZ, for guests that do not support kvmclock and rely
on precise delivery of periodic timers to keep their clock running.
This can be the APIC timer (provided by the kernel), the RTC (provided
by userspace), or the i8254 (choice of kernel/userspace). These guests
are few and far between these days, and in the case of the APIC timer +
Intel hosts we can use the preemption timer (which is TSC-based and has
better latency _and_ accuracy).

In KVM, only x86 is requiring CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS; perhaps a "depends
on HIGH_RES_TIMERS || EXPERT" could be added to virt/kvm, or a pr_warn
could be added to kvm_init if HIGH_RES_TIMERS are not enabled. But in
general, it seems that there must be other code in the kernel (maybe
sound/?) that is relying on having high-enough HZ or hrtimers but that's
not documented anywhere. Whenever you disable it you probably need to
know what you're doing and what your workload is; so the dependency is
not particularly interesting, and we can just remove it.

kvm: replace __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM with Kconfig symbol

KVM uses __KVM_HAVE_* symbols in the architecture-dependent uapi/asm/kvm.h to mask
unused definitions in include/uapi/linux/kvm.h. __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM however
was nothing but a misguided attempt to define KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM only on
architectures where KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM) could possibly
return nonzero. This however does not make sense, and it prevented userspace
from supporting this architecture-independent feature without recompilation.

Therefore, these days __KVM_HAVE_READONLY_MEM does not mask anything and
is only used in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c. Userspace does not need to test it
and there should be no need for it to exist. Remove it and replace it
with a Kconfig symbol within Linux source code.

KVM: introduce CONFIG_KVM_COMMON

CONFIG_HAVE_KVM is currently used by some architectures to either
enabled the KVM config proper, or to enable host-side code that is
not part of the KVM module. However, CONFIG_KVM's "select" statement
in virt/kvm/Kconfig corresponds to a third meaning, namely to
enable common Kconfigs required by all architectures that support
KVM.

These three meanings can be replaced respectively by an
architecture-specific Kconfig, by IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM), or by
a new Kconfig symbol that is in turn selected by the
architecture-specific "config KVM".

Start by introducing such a new Kconfig symbol, CONFIG_KVM_COMMON.
Unlike CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, it is selected by CONFIG_KVM, not by
architecture code, and it brings in all dependencies of common
KVM code. In particular, INTERVAL_TREE was missing in loongarch
and riscv, so that is another thing that is fixed.
