KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED seems to be somewhat confusing:
Guest doesn't really care whether it's the only task running on a host
CPU as long as it's not preempted.
And there are more reasons for Guest to be preempted than host CPU
sharing, for example, with memory overcommit it can get preempted on a
memory access, post copy migration can cause preemption, etc.
Let's call it KVM_HINTS_REALTIME which seems to better
match what guests expect.
Also, the flag most be set on all vCPUs - current guests assume this.
Note so in the documentation.

Although we've implemented PSCI 0.1, 0.2 and 1.0, we expose either 0.1
or 1.0 to a guest, defaulting to the latest version of the PSCI
implementation that is compatible with the requested version. This is
no different from doing a firmware upgrade on KVM.
But in order to give a chance to hypothetical badly implemented guests
that would have a fit by discovering something other than PSCI 0.2,
let's provide a new API that allows userspace to pick one particular
version of the API.
This is implemented as a new class of "firmware" registers, where
we expose the PSCI version. This allows the PSCI version to be
save/restored as part of a guest migration, and also set to
any supported version if the guest requires it.

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 allows optimizing spinlocks
and tells the guest to avoid PV TLB flush.

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.

This adds a new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_CPU_CHAR, that gives userspace
information about the underlying machine's level of vulnerability
to the recently announced vulnerabilities CVE-2017-5715,
CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5754, and whether the machine provides
instructions to assist software to work around the vulnerabilities.
The ioctl returns two u64 words describing characteristics of the
CPU and required software behaviour respectively, plus two mask
words which indicate which bits have been filled in by the kernel,
for extensibility. The bit definitions are the same as for the
new H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall.
There is also a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_GET_CPU_CHAR, which
indicates whether the new ioctl is available.

This part of Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) patch series focuses on KVM
changes required to create and manage SEV guests.
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.

Remote TLB flush does a busy wait which is fine in bare-metal
scenario. 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.
Testing on a Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 2 sockets, 32 cores, 64 threads,
so 64 pCPUs, and each VM is 64 vCPUs.

This adds a register identifier for use with the one_reg interface
to allow the decrementer expiry time to be read and written by
userspace. 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.

The reason I added this documentation originally was that the concept of
"never taking the interrupt", but just use the timer to generate an exit
from the guest, was confusing to most, and we had to explain it several
times over. But as we can clearly see, we've failed to update the
documentation as the code has evolved, and people who need to understand
these details are probably better off reading the code.
Let's lighten our maintenance burden slightly and just get rid of this.

The GICv4 architecture doesn't make it easy for save/restore to
work, as it doesn't give any guarantee that the pending state
is written into the pending table.
So let's not take any chance, and let's return an error if
we encounter any LPI that has the HW bit set. In order for
userspace to distinguish this error from other failure modes,
use -EACCES as an error code.

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.
To get the "ais" capability properly let's add a new KVM capability that
tells userspace that AIS states can be migrated.

KVM/ARM Changes for v4.15
Changes include:
- Optimized arch timer handling for KVM/ARM
- Improvements to the VGIC ITS code and introduction of an ITS reset
ioctl
- Unification of the 32-bit fault injection logic
- More exact external abort matching logic
|
|
At the moment, the in-kernel emulated ITS is not properly reset.
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.

KVM/ARM Changes for v4.14
Two minor cleanups and improvements, a fix for decoding external abort
types from guests, and added support for migrating the active priority
of interrupts when running a GICv2 guest on a GICv3 host.
|
|
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.

Allow for the enablement of MEF and the support for the extended

A new interface is used for getting/setting a guest's extended TOD-Clock
that uses a single ioctl invocation, KVM_S390_VM_TOD_EXT. Since the
host time is a moving target that might see an epoch switch or STP sync
checks we need an atomic ioctl and cannot use the exisiting two
interfaces. The old method of getting and setting the guest TOD-Clock is
still retained and is used when the old ioctls are called.

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.

Adds another flag bit (bit 2) to MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN. 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.

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.

Adds the plumbing to disable A/D bits in the MMU based on a new role
bit, ad_disabled. 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.

In some cases, userspace needs to get or set all ais states for example
migration. So we introduce a new group KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM_ALL to provide
interfaces to get or set the adapter-interruption-suppression mode for
all ISCs. The corresponding documentation is updated.

* Add a migration state bitmap to keep track of which pages have dirty
CMMA information.
* Disable CMMA by default, so we can track if it's used or not. Enable
it on first use like we do for storage keys (unless we are doing a
migration).
* Creates a VM attribute to enter and leave migration mode.
* In migration mode, CMMA is disabled in the SIE block, so ESSA is
always interpreted and emulated in software.
* Free the migration state on VM destroy.

Now that userspace can set the virtual SMT mode by enabling the
KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability, it is useful for userspace to be able
to query the set of possible virtual SMT modes. This provides a
new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT_POSSIBLE, to provide this
information. The return value is a bitmap of possible modes, with
bit N set if virtual SMT mode 2^N is available. That is, 1 indicates
SMT1 is available, 2 indicates that SMT2 is available, 3 indicates
that both SMT1 and SMT2 are available, and so on.

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.
[paulus@ozlabs.org - Reworded the commit message to be clearer,
enable only on HV KVM.]
