* KVM: X86: Provide a capability to disable MWAIT interceptsWanpeng Li2018-03-161-9/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allowing a guest to execute MWAIT without interception enables a guest to put a (physical) CPU into a power saving state, where it takes longer to return from than what may be desired by the host. Don't give a guest that power over a host by default. (Especially, since nothing prevents a guest from using MWAIT even when it is not advertised via CPUID.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces kvm_para_has_hint() to query for hints about the configuration of the guests. The first hint KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED, is set if the guest has dedicated physical CPUs for each vCPU (i.e. pinning and no over-commitment).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit implements an enhanced x86 version of S390 KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS functionality. KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS "allow[s] userspace to access certain guest registers without having to call SET/GET_*REGS”. This reduces ioctl overhead which is particularly important when userspace is making synchronous guest state modifications (e.g. when emulating and/or intercepting instructions). Originally implemented upstream for the S390, the x86 differences follow: - userspace can select the register sets to be synchronized with kvm_run using bit-flags in the kvm_valid_registers and kvm_dirty_registers fields. - vcpu_events is available in addition to the regs and sregs register sets.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In Hyper-V, the fast guest->host notification mechanism is the SIGNAL_EVENT hypercall, with a single parameter of the connection ID to signal. Currently this hypercall incurs a user exit and requires the userspace to decode the parameters and trigger the notification of the potentially different I/O context. To avoid the costly user exit, process this hypercall and signal the corresponding eventfd in KVM, similar to ioeventfd. The association between the connection id and the eventfd is established via the newly introduced KVM_HYPERV_EVENTFD ioctl, and maintained in an (srcu-protected) IDR.

| * | KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Enable migration of decrementer registerPaul Mackerras2018-01-161-0/+1

The decrementer expiry time is in guest timebase units and is equal to the sum of the decrementer and the guest timebase. (The expiry time is used rather than the decrementer value itself because the expiry time is not constantly changing, though the decrementer value is, while the guest vcpu is not running.) Without this, a guest vcpu migrated to a new host will see its decrementer set to some random value. On POWER8 and earlier, the decrementer is 32 bits wide and counts down at 512MHz, so the guest vcpu will potentially see no decrementer interrupts for up to about 4 seconds, which will lead to a stall. With POWER9, the decrementer is now 56 bits side, so the stall can be much longer (up to 2.23 years) and more noticeable. To help work around the problem in cases where userspace has not been updated to migrate the decrementer expiry time, we now set the default decrementer expiry at vcpu creation time to the current time rather than the maximum possible value. This should mean an immediate decrementer interrupt when a migrated vcpu starts running. In cases where the decrementer is 32 bits wide and more than 4 seconds elapse between the creation of the vcpu and when it first runs, the decrementer would have wrapped around to positive values and there may still be a stall - but this is no worse than the current situation. In the large-decrementer case, we are sure to get an immediate decrementer interrupt (assuming the time from vcpu creation to first run is less than 2.23 years) and we thus avoid a very long stall.

SEV is an extension to the AMD-V architecture which supports running encrypted virtual machine (VMs) under the control of a hypervisor. Encrypted VMs have their pages (code and data) secured such that only the guest itself has access to unencrypted version. Each encrypted VM is associated with a unique encryption key; if its data is accessed to a different entity using a different key the encrypted guest's data will be incorrectly decrypted, leading to unintelligible data. This security model ensures that hypervisor will no longer able to inspect or alter any guest code or data. The key management of this feature is handled by a separate processor known as the AMD Secure Processor (AMD-SP) which is present on AMD SOCs. The SEV Key Management Specification (see below) provides a set of commands which can be used by hypervisor to load virtual machine keys through the AMD-SP driver. The patch series adds a new ioctl in KVM driver (KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP). The ioctl will be used by qemu to issue SEV guest-specific commands defined in Key Management Specification.

But with-in the guest, the vcpus might have been pre-empted or blocked. In this scenario, the initator vcpu would end up busy-waiting for a long amount of time; it also consumes CPU unnecessarily to wake up the target of the shootdown. This patch set adds support for KVM's new paravirtualized TLB flush; remote TLB flush does not wait for vcpus that are sleeping, instead KVM will flush the TLB as soon as the vCPU starts running again. The improvement is clearly visible when the host is overcommitted; in this case, the PV TLB flush (in addition to avoiding the wait on the main CPU) prevents preempted vCPUs from stealing precious execution time from the running ones.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The AIS capability was introduced in 4.12, while the interface to migrate the state was added in 4.13. Unfortunately it is not possible for userspace to detect the migration capability without creating a flic kvm device. As in QEMU the cpu model detection runs on the "none" machine this will result in cpu model issues regarding the "ais" capability.

On guest restart/reset some registers keep their old values and internal structures like device, ITE, and collection lists are not freed. This may lead to various bugs. Among them, we can have incorrect state backup or failure when saving the ITS state at early guest boot stage. This patch documents a new attribute, KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_CTRL_RESET in the KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL group. Upon this action, we can reset registers and especially those pointing to tables previously allocated by the guest and free the internal data structures storing the list of devices, collections and lpis. The usual approach for device reset of having userspace write the reset values of the registers to the kernel via the register read/write APIs doesn't work for the ITS because it has some internal state (caches) which is not exposed as registers, and there is no register interface for "drop cached data without writing it back to RAM". So we need a KVM API which mimics the hardware's reset line, to provide the equivalent behaviour to a "pull the power cord out of the back of the machine" reset.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When migrating guests around we need to know the active priorities to ensure functional virtual interrupt prioritization by the GIC. This commit clarifies the API and how active priorities of interrupts in different groups are represented, and implements the accessor functions for the uaccess register range. We live with a slight layering violation in accessing GICv3 data structures from vgic-mmio-v2.c, because anything else just adds too much complexity for us to deal with (it's not like there's a benefit elsewhere in the code of an intermediate representation as is the case with the VMCR). We accept this, because while doing v3 processing from a file named something-v2.c can look strange at first, this really is specific to dealing with the user space interface for something that looks like a GICv2.

* kvm: x86: hyperv: make VP_INDEX managed by userspaceRoman Kagan2017-07-141-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hyper-V identifies vCPUs by Virtual Processor Index, which can be queried via HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX msr. It is defined by the spec as a sequential number which can't exceed the maximum number of vCPUs per VM. APIC ids can be sparse and thus aren't a valid replacement for VP indices. Current KVM uses its internal vcpu index as VP_INDEX. However, to make it predictable and persistent across VM migrations, the userspace has to control the value of VP_INDEX. This patch achieves that, by storing vp_index explicitly on vcpu, and allowing HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX to be set from the host side. For compatibility it's initialized to KVM vcpu index. Also a few variables are renamed to make clear distinction betweed this Hyper-V vp_index and KVM vcpu_id (== APIC id). Besides, a new capability, KVM_CAP_HYPERV_VP_INDEX, is added to allow the userspace to skip attempting msr writes where unsupported, to avoid spamming error logs.

If bit 2 is 1, async page faults are delivered to L1 as #PF vmexits; if bit 2 is 0, kvm_can_do_async_pf returns 0 if in guest mode. This is similar to what svm.c wanted to do all along, but it is only enabled for Linux as L1 hypervisor. Foreign hypervisors must never receive async page faults as vmexits, because they'd probably be very confused about that.

* kvm: x86: hyperv: add KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2Roman Kagan2017-07-131-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a flaw in the Hyper-V SynIC implementation in KVM: when message page or event flags page is enabled by setting the corresponding msr, KVM zeroes it out. This is problematic because on migration the corresponding MSRs are loaded on the destination, so the content of those pages is lost. This went unnoticed so far because the only user of those pages was in-KVM hyperv synic timers, which could continue working despite that zeroing. Newer QEMU uses those pages for Hyper-V VMBus implementation, and zeroing them breaks the migration. Besides, in newer QEMU the content of those pages is fully managed by QEMU, so zeroing them is undesirable even when writing the MSRs from the guest side. To support this new scheme, introduce a new capability, KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2, which, when enabled, makes sure that the synic pages aren't zeroed out in KVM.

When A/D is disabled, the MMU operates as though A/D aren't available (i.e., using access tracking faults instead). To avoid SP -> kvm_mmu_page.role.ad_disabled lookups all over the place, A/D disablement is now stored in the SPTE. This state is stored in the SPTE by tweaking the use of SPTE_SPECIAL_MASK for access tracking. Rather than just setting SPTE_SPECIAL_MASK when an access-tracking SPTE is non-present, we now always set SPTE_SPECIAL_MASK for access-tracking SPTEs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a new KVM capability to control how KVM behaves on machine check exception (MCE) in HV KVM guests. If this capability has not been enabled, KVM redirects machine check exceptions to guest's 0x200 vector, if the address in error belongs to the guest. With this capability enabled, KVM will cause a guest exit with the exit reason indicating an NMI. The new capability is required to avoid problems if a new kernel/KVM is used with an old QEMU, running a guest that doesn't issue "ibm,nmi-register". As old QEMU does not understand the NMI exit type, it treats it as a fatal error. However, the guest could have handled the machine check error if the exception was delivered to guest's 0x200 interrupt vector instead of NMI exit in case of old QEMU.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows userspace to set the desired virtual SMT (simultaneous multithreading) mode for a VM, that is, the number of VCPUs that get assigned to each virtual core. Previously, the virtual SMT mode was fixed to the number of threads per subcore, and if userspace wanted to have fewer vcpus per vcore, then it would achieve that by using a sparse CPU numbering. This had the disadvantage that the vcpu numbers can get quite large, particularly for SMT1 guests on a POWER8 with 8 threads per core. With this patch, userspace can set its desired virtual SMT mode and then use contiguous vcpu numbering. On POWER8, where the threading mode is "strict", the virtual SMT mode must be less than or equal to the number of threads per subcore. On POWER9, which implements a "loose" threading mode, the virtual SMT mode can be any power of 2 between 1 and 8, even though there is effectively one thread per subcore, since the threads are independent and can all be in different partitions.

Third, we set up the arch-specific vcpu device operation handlers to call into the timer code for anything related to the KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_CTRL group. Fourth, we implement support for getting and setting the timer interrupt numbers using the above defined ABI in the arch timer code. Fifth, we introduce error checking upon enabling the arch timer (which is called when first running a VCPU) to check that all VCPUs are configured to use the same PPI for the timer (as mandated by the architecture) and that the virtual and physical timers are not configured to use the same IRQ number.
