From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush@kernel.org>
The KHO radix tree is a data structure that can track the presence or
absence of an arbitrary key, with nothing inherently tied to KHO memory
preservation tracking. This was one of the design goals of the radix
tree. This was done to enable it to be re-used by other users of KHO.
Despite that, the radix tree APIs are very closely tied to KHO memory
preservation tracking. Adding a key is done by kho_radix_add_page(),
which encodes it as a page tracking operation and takes in PFN and
order. kho_radix_del_page() does the same. These functions encode the
key internally that goes into the radix tree. kho_radix_walk_tree() does
the same by baking the PFN and order into the callback arguments.
Generalize the APIs by taking the key directly and doing the encoding at
the callers. Rename the functions to kho_radix_add_key() and
kho_radix_del_key(). In practice, this removes a line each from the
functions and moves the encoding function call to the callers.
Similarly, update kho_radix_tree_walk_callback_t to take the key
directly.
To keep the naming convention clearer, rename
kho_radix_{encode,decode}_key() to kho_{encode,decode}_radix_key().

This allows other functions to also use the radix tree. While at it,
also use kho_get_mem_map_phys() instead of duplicating the code to get
the radix tree root from the FDT.

The KHO memory preservation radix tree does not mark the table pages
themselves as scratch. This is done to avoid a circular dependency where
preserving a page can lead of allocating other preserved pages. This
means any walker looking for free ranges of memory outside of scratch
areas will ignore the table
Add a table callback that is invoked for each table page. The callback
is given the physical address of the table page.

The KHO radix tree allocates memory for table pages from the buddy
allocator using get_zeroed_page(). This is not available in early boot
when memblock is still active.
Using the radix tree in early boot is useful for KHO to track metadata
about its memory. One such example is for tracking free blocks for
memory allocation when scratch runs out of space. This feature will be
added in the following commits.
Add kho_radix_{alloc,free}_node() which allocate and free the table
pages. They use slab_is_available() to decide which allocator to use.
While slab_is_available() indicates availability of the slab allocator,
it gets initialized right before buddy so it serves the same practical
purpose.

boundaries cleaner and reduces code duplication when a new user of the
radix tree will be added in a future commit.

In the upcoming commits, the KHO will learn how to discover free blocks
of memory by walking the KHO radix tree. It will then mark those regions
as scratch to allow memory allocation in case scratch runs low.
To differentiate the extended scratch areas from the main scratch areas,
introduce MEMBLOCK_KHO_SCRATCH_EXT. Use it when choosing memblock flags
for allocations during scratch-only. Teach should_skip_region() to check
for both flags before deciding if the region should be skipped.

From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush@kernel.org>
Motivation
==========
The scratch space is allocated by the first kernel in the KHO chain, and
is reused by all subsequent kernels. The size of the space is either set
via the commandline by the system administrator or by calculating the
amount of memory used by the kernel and adding a multiplier. In either
case, the scratch space is a heuristic and is liable to fill up and fail
allocation if a kernel uses more memory than expected.
In addition, gigantic huge pages (usually 1 GiB) are allocated via
memblock, and in a KHO boot that memory comes from the scratch space. In
hypervisors it is common to dedicate a major part of the system's memory
to gigantic hugepages for VM memory.
If this memory needs to come from scratch space, then scratch needs to
be greater than the memory needed for huge pages, which is impractical.
In addition, hugepages can be preserved memory. Allocating them from
scratch violates the assumption that scratch contains no preserved
memory.
Methodology
===========
Introduce extended scratch areas. These areas are discovered at boot by
walking the preserved memory radix tree and looking for free blocks of
memory. They then marked as scratch to allow allocations from them. This
makes KHO more resilient to memory pressure and allows supporting huge
page preservation.
Since the preserved memory radix tree mixes both physical address and
order into a single key, and does not track table pages, it is difficult
to identify free areas from it directly. Walk the tree and digest it
down into another radix tree. The latter tracks blocks of
KHO_EXT_SHIFT (1 GiB as of now) granularity. Then walk the digested tree
and mark the areas between the present keys as scratch.
Performance
===========
The discovery algorithm traverses the preserved memory radix tree
exactly once. While it does use memory for the digested radix tree,
since the blocks are split by 1 GiB, a single bitmap with 4k pages can
track up to 32 TiB of memory. So there are likely to be very few radix
tree pages used in this tracking. For systems with all physical memory
below 32 TiB, this should result in a total of 6 pages being
used (KHO_TREE_MAX_DEPTH == 6).
An alternate way of achieving this would be to call kho_mem_retrieve()
earlier in boot and mark all the KHO preservations as reserved. But that
can blow up memblock.reserved with a bunch of 4K pages scattered
everywhere, which will reduce performance of subsequent allocations.
Since the free blocks are tracked in chunks of 1 GiB, this won't blow up
memblock.memory as much.
Practical evaluation
====================
The testing is done on a x86_64 qemu VM running under KVM with 64G
memory and 12 CPUs. The machine pre-allocates 50 1G pages.
Since the performance scales with how busy the radix tree is, tests are
done with 2 preservation patterns: first with two 1M memfds, second with
two 1G memfds, both using 4k pages.
Test case 1 - 1M memfd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This test case has two memfds with 1M memory each in 4k pages, plus
other preservations from LUO core and other KHO users.
This is how the radix tree stats look like:
radix_nodes: 0x2f
nr_preservations: 0x22d
mem_preserved: 0xa2b000
per order preservations:
order 0: 0x215
order 1: 0x9
order 2: 0x1
order 3: 0x2
order 4: 0x5
order 5: 0x1
order 6: 0x2
order 7: 0x2
order 9: 0x1
order 10: 0x1
and this is how long it takes to extend the scratch after KHO boot:
kho_extend_scratch(): time taken: 88 us
kho_extend_scratch(): total memory recovered: 0xf7ff7b000 (~62G)
Test case 2 - 1G memfd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This test case has two memfds with 1G memory each in 4k pages, plus
other preservations from LUO core and other KHO users.
This is how the radix tree stats look like:
radix_nodes: 0x45
nr_preservations: 0x80832
mem_preserved: 0x8102d000
per order preservations:
order 0: 0x80817
order 1: 0x7
order 2: 0x2
order 3: 0x4
order 4: 0x2
order 5: 0x2
order 6: 0x4
order 7: 0x3
order 8: 0x1
order 9: 0x2
and this is how long it takes to extend the scratch after KHO boot:
kho_extend_scratch(): time taken: 21769 us
kho_extend_scratch(): total memory recovered: 0xe40000000 (57G)

There are currently 3 callers of kho_get_mem_map_phys(). Two of them,
kho_mem_retrieve() and kho_extend_scratch() need the virtual address.
The third, kho_populate() doesn't care. Make things simpler by
directly returning the virtual address. Rename kho_get_mem_map_phys() to
kho_get_mem_map() to accurately reflect what it returns.

From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush@kernel.org>
Gigantic page allocation is somewhat broken currently when KHO is used.
Firstly, they break KHO scratch size accounting. RSRV_KERN is used to
track how much memory is reserved for use by the kernel. Since
alloc_bootmem() calls the memblock_alloc*() APIs, the hugepages
allocated also get marked as RSRV_KERN.
Allocations marked RSRV_KERN are used by KHO to calculate how much
scratch space it should reserve to make sure the next kernel has enough
memory to boot when it is in scratch-only phase. Counting hugepages in
that blows up scratch size, and can lead to the scratch allocation
failing, making KHO unusable. This will show up when huge pages make up
more than 50% of the system, which is a fairly common use case.
Secondly, while not supported right now, huge pages are user memory and
can be preserved via KHO. The scratch spaces should not have any
preserved memory. Allocating hugepages from scratch (on a KHO boot) can
lead to them being un-preservable.
Introduce memblock_alloc_nid_user(). This does two things: first, it
instructs __memblock_alloc_range_nid() to not use scratch areas to
fulfill allocation. If KHO is in scratch-only mode, allocations will
only be made from extended scratch areas. Second, it removes RSRV_KERN
from the allocation to make sure it doesn't mess up scratch size
accounting.
To reduce duplication, introduce __memblock_alloc_range_nid() which does
exactly what memblock_alloc_range_nid() used to do, but takes the flags
from its caller. Then make memblock_alloc_range_nid() a wrapper to it.
This lets memblock_alloc_nid_user() re-use most of the logic without
causing churn to update all callers of memblock_alloc_range_nid() and
adding yet another argument to it.

Add kho_radix_tree_freeze() to prevent further modifications to a
KHO radix tree. After freezing, kho_radix_add_key() and
kho_radix_del_key() return -EBUSY. This is used by the MSHV page
preservation code to lock the tree before serializing it for kexec.
Also change kho_radix_del_key() from void to int so it can report
-EBUSY (frozen) and -ENOENT (key not present).

In the crash kernel, the old kernel's memory is outside the direct
map. Add a read-only radix tree variant that memremaps nodes during
init so that subsequent page presence checks can traverse the tree
with plain pointer dereferencing.
This will be used by the MSHV driver to exclude hypervisor-owned pages
from /proc/vmcore via a pfn_is_ram() callback.

The MSHV driver passes pages to MSHV for its exclusive use. A
subsequently kexec'd-to kernel must not use these pages, so
we need to register these pages with KHO.
- adapt hv_call_deposit_pages() and hv_call_withdraw_memory() to
use tracker
- Use KHO to preserve MSHV-owned pages across kexec

The crash MSRs have no formal semantics and nothing depends on their
contents, so the register assignment can be reshuffled freely.
Reserve crash MSR P2 for passing the KHO radix tree root physical
address to the crash kernel for MSHV page exclusion during dump
collection. Stop overwriting it in the panic reporting paths.
Move IP/PC to P3 and SP to P4 in hyperv_report_panic() on both x86
and ARM64. Remove the P2 write from hv_kmsg_dump().

Pages donated to Hyper-V must not be read during crash dump collection.
They are not ordinary RAM and accessing them can hang or corrupt the
crash kernel.
Use the KHO radix tree of preserved pages to drive a vmcore pfn_is_ram()
callback. The radix tree root PA is passed to the crash kernel via
Hyper-V crash MSR P2, since the old kernel's KHO FDT is not accessible
from the crash kernel's direct map.

Modules that register reboot notifiers may need to distinguish a
kexec from a regular reboot. Export kexec_in_progress so they can
check without requiring a built-in wrapper.

Before kexec the kernel must ensure no VMs are actively running so that
no VP modifies VM-memory that Linux will re-use post-kexec, and record
the partition IDs so the next kernel can clean them up.
Add mshv_freeze_and_get_partition_ids() which:
- Sets a global frozen flag to block new partition and VP creation
- Prevents (re-)dispatching of existing VPs
- Kicks all VPs to exit their dispatch loops, then waits for each to
finish by acquiring its mutex
- Tears down doorbell ports owned by the parent partition, which
otherwise survive kexec and cause port ID collisions in the new kernel
- Collects all partition IDs into a kho_alloc_preserve()'d array
The freeze is triggered from the reboot notifier callback. The ID
array is serialized into the KHO FDT so the next kernel can retrieve
it via mshv_retrieve_frozen_partition_ids().
After kexec the previous kernel's partitions are still alive in the
hypervisor. vacuum_stale_partitions() retrieves their IDs from the
KHO-preserved FDT and tears each one down (finalize, withdraw
deposited memory, delete) so the pages become available to the new
kernel.
