<title>bcache: introduce BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE for large bucket</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b16671e8f493e3df40b1fb0dff4078f391c5099a</id>
<content type='text'>
When large bucket feature was added, BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET
was introduced into the incompat feature set. It used bucket_size_hi
(which was added at the tail of struct cache_sb_disk) to extend current
16bit bucket size to 32bit with existing bucket_size in struct
cache_sb_disk.

This is not a good idea, there are two obvious problems,
- Bucket size is always value power of 2, if store log2(bucket size) in
  existing bucket_size of struct cache_sb_disk, it is unnecessary to add
  bucket_size_hi.
- Macro csum_set() assumes d[SB_JOURNAL_BUCKETS] is the last member in
  struct cache_sb_disk, bucket_size_hi was added after d[] which makes
  csum_set calculate an unexpected super block checksum.

To fix the above problems, this patch introduces a new incompat feature
bit BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE, when this bit is set, it
means bucket_size in struct cache_sb_disk stores the order of power-of-2
bucket size value. When user specifies a bucket size larger than 32768
sectors, BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LOG_LARGE_BUCKET_SIZE will be set to
incompat feature set, and bucket_size stores log2(bucket size) more
than store the real bucket size value.

The obsoleted BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET won't be used anymore,
it is renamed to BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_OBSO_LARGE_BUCKET and still only
recognized by kernel driver for legacy compatible purpose. The previous
bucket_size_hi is renmaed to obso_bucket_size_hi in struct cache_sb_disk
and not used in bcache-tools anymore.

For cache device created with BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET feature,
bcache-tools and kernel driver still recognize the feature string and
display it as "obso_large_bucket".

With this change, the unnecessary extra space extend of bcache on-disk
super block can be avoided, and csum_set() may generate expected check
sum as well.

<title>KVM: SVM: Add support for booting APs in an SEV-ES guest</title>
<updated>2021-01-07T23:11:37+00:00</updated>

<name>Tom Lendacky</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirrors.hust.edu.cn/git/lwn.git/commit/?id=647daca25d24fb6eadc7b6cd680ad3e6eed0f3d5'/>
<id>urn:sha1:647daca25d24fb6eadc7b6cd680ad3e6eed0f3d5</id>
<content type='text'>
Typically under KVM, an AP is booted using the INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence,
where the guest vCPU register state is updated and then the vCPU is VMRUN
to begin execution of the AP. For an SEV-ES guest, this won't work because
the guest register state is encrypted.

Following the GHCB specification, the hypervisor must not alter the guest
register state, so KVM must track an AP/vCPU boot. Should the guest want
to park the AP, it must use the AP Reset Hold exit event in place of, for
example, a HLT loop.

First AP boot (first INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence):
  Execute the AP (vCPU) as it was initialized and measured by the SEV-ES
  support. It is up to the guest to transfer control of the AP to the
  proper location.

Subsequent AP boot:
  KVM will expect to receive an AP Reset Hold exit event indicating that
  the vCPU is being parked and will require an INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence to
  awaken it. When the AP Reset Hold exit event is received, KVM will place
  the vCPU into a simulated HLT mode. Upon receiving the INIT-SIPI-SIPI
  sequence, KVM will make the vCPU runnable. It is again up to the guest
  to then transfer control of the AP to the proper location.

  To differentiate between an actual HLT and an AP Reset Hold, a new MP
  state is introduced, KVM_MP_STATE_AP_RESET_HOLD, which the vCPU is
  placed in upon receiving the AP Reset Hold exit event. Additionally, to
  communicate the AP Reset Hold exit event up to userspace (if needed), a
  new exit reason is introduced, KVM_EXIT_AP_RESET_HOLD.

A new x86 ops function is introduced, vcpu_deliver_sipi_vector, in order
to accomplish AP booting. For VMX, vcpu_deliver_sipi_vector is set to the
original SIPI delivery function, kvm_vcpu_deliver_sipi_vector(). SVM adds
a new function that, for non SEV-ES guests, invokes the original SIPI
delivery function, kvm_vcpu_deliver_sipi_vector(), but for SEV-ES guests,
implements the logic above.

The set flag NFT_SET_EXPR provides a hint to the kernel that userspace
supports for multiple expressions per set element. In the same
direction, NFT_DYNSET_F_EXPR specifies that dynset expression defines
multiple expressions per set element.

This allows new userspace software with old kernels to bail out with
EOPNOTSUPP. This update is similar to ef516e8625dd ("netfilter:
nf_tables: reintroduce the NFT_SET_CONCAT flag"). The NFT_SET_EXPR flag
needs to be set on when the NFTA_SET_EXPRESSIONS attribute is specified.
The NFT_SET_EXPR flag is not set on with NFTA_SET_EXPR to retain
backward compatibility in old userspace binaries.
