With every new Hyper-V Enlightenment we implement we're forced to add a
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_* capability. While this approach works it is fairly
inconvenient: the majority of the enlightenments we do have corresponding
CPUID feature bit(s) and userspace has to know this anyways to be able to
expose the feature to the guest.
Add KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID ioctl (backed by KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID, "one
cap to rule them all!") returning all Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves.
Using the existing KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID doesn't seem to be possible:
Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves intersect with KVM's (e.g. 0x40000000,
0x40000001) and we would probably confuse userspace in case we decide to
return these twice.
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID's number is interim: we're intended to drop
KVM_CAP_HYPERV_STIMER_DIRECT and use its number instead.

There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important,
it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

This is a per-VM capability which can be enabled by userspace so that
the faulting linear address will be included with the information
about a pending #PF in L2, and the "new DR6 bits" will be included
with the information about a pending #DB in L2. With this capability
enabled, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #PF before CR2 is
modified. Under VMX, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #DB before
DR6 and DR7 are modified.
When userspace has enabled KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, it should
generally provide an appropriate payload when injecting a #PF or #DB
exception via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS. However, to support restoring old
checkpoints, this payload is not required.
Note that bit 16 of the "new DR6 bits" is set to indicate that a debug
exception (#DB) or a breakpoint exception (#BP) occurred inside an RTM
region while advanced debugging of RTM transactional regions was
enabled. This is the reverse of DR6.RTM, which is cleared in this
scenario.
This capability also enables exception.pending in struct
kvm_vcpu_events, which allows userspace to distinguish between pending
and injected exceptions.

The per-VM capability KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD (to be introduced in a
later commit) adds the following fields to struct kvm_vcpu_events:
exception_has_payload, exception_payload, and exception.pending.
With this capability set, all of the details of vcpu->arch.exception,
including the payload for a pending exception, are reported to
userspace in response to KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS.
With this capability clear, the original ABI is preserved, and the
exception.injected field is set for either pending or injected
exceptions.
When userspace calls KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS with
KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD clear, exception.injected is no longer
translated to exception.pending. KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS can now only
establish a pending exception when KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD is set.

Coalesced pio is based on coalesced mmio and can be used for some port
like rtc port, pci-host config port and so on.
Specially in case of rtc as coalesced pio, some versions of windows guest
access rtc frequently because of rtc as system tick. guest access rtc like
this: write register index to 0x70, then write or read data from 0x71.
writing 0x70 port is just as index and do nothing else. So we can use
coalesced pio to handle this scene to reduce VM-EXIT time.
When starting and closing a virtual machine, it will access pci-host config
port frequently. So setting these port as coalesced pio can reduce startup
and shutdown time.
without my patch, get the vm-exit time of accessing rtc 0x70 and piix 0xcf8

Using hypercall for sending IPIs is faster because this allows to specify
any number of vCPUs (even > 64 with sparse CPU set), the whole procedure
will take only one VMEXIT.
Current Hyper-V TLFS (v5.0b) claims that HvCallSendSyntheticClusterIpi
hypercall can't be 'fast' (passing parameters through registers) but
apparently this is not true, Windows always uses it as 'fast' so we need
to support that.

This adds a KVM_PPC_NO_HASH flag to the flags field of the
kvm_ppc_smmu_info struct, and arranges for it to be set when
running as a nested hypervisor, as an unambiguous indication
to userspace that HPT guests are not supported. Reporting the
KVM_CAP_PPC_MMU_HASH_V3 capability as false could be taken as
indicating only that the new HPT features in ISA V3.0 are not
supported, leaving it ambiguous whether pre-V3.0 HPT features
are supported.

With this, userspace can enable a KVM-HV guest to run nested guests
under it.
The administrator can control whether any nested guests can be run;
setting the "nested" module parameter to false prevents any guests
becoming nested hypervisors (that is, any attempt to enable the nested
capability on a guest will fail). Guests which are already nested
hypervisors will continue to be so.

This adds a one-reg register identifier which can be used to read and
set the virtual PTCR for the guest. This register identifies the
address and size of the virtual partition table for the guest, which
contains information about the nested guests under this guest.
Migrating this value is the only extra requirement for migrating a
guest which has nested guests (assuming of course that the destination
host supports nested virtualization in the kvm-hv module).

Allow specifying the physical address size limit for a new
VM via the kvm_type argument for the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl. This
allows us to finalise the stage2 page table as early as possible
and hence perform the right checks on the memory slots
without complication. The size is encoded as Log2(PA_Size) in
bits[7:0] of the type field. For backward compatibility the
value 0 is reserved and implies 40bits. Also, lift the limit
of the IPA to host limit and allow lower IPA sizes (e.g, 32).
The userspace could check the extension KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE
for the availability of this feature. The cap check returns the
maximum limit for the physical address shift supported by the host.

Add KVM_CAP_MSR_PLATFORM_INFO so that userspace can disable guest access
to reads of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO.
Disabling access to reads of this MSR gives userspace the control to "expose"
this platform-dependent information to guests in a clear way. As it exists
today, guests that read this MSR would get unpopulated information if userspace
hadn't already set it (and prior to this patch series, only the CPUID faulting
information could have been populated). This existing interface could be
confusing if guests don't handle the potential for incorrect/incomplete
information gracefully (e.g. zero reported for base frequency).

We currently do not notify all gmaps when using gmap_pmdp_xchg(), due
to locking constraints. This makes ucontrol VMs, which is the only VM
type that creates multiple gmaps, incompatible with huge pages. Also
we would need to hold the guest_table_lock of all gmaps that have this
vmaddr maped to synchronize access to the pmd.
ucontrol VMs are rather exotic and creating a new locking concept is
no easy task. Hence we return EINVAL when trying to active
KVM_CAP_S390_HPAGE_1M and report it as being not available when
checking for it.

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.
The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)
A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.
A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.
List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)

Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)
Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).
I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.
As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

Using hypercall to send IPIs by one vmexit instead of one by one for
xAPIC/x2APIC physical mode and one vmexit per-cluster for x2APIC cluster
mode. Intel guest can enter x2apic cluster mode when interrupt remmaping
is enabled in qemu, however, latest AMD EPYC still just supports xapic
mode which can get great improvement by Exit-less IPIs. This patchset
lets a guest send multicast IPIs, with at most 128 destinations per
hypercall in 64-bit mode and 64 vCPUs per hypercall in 32-bit mode.

For nested virtualization L0 KVM is managing a bit of state for L2 guests,
this state can not be captured through the currently available IOCTLs. In
fact the state captured through all of these IOCTLs is usually a mix of L1
and L2 state. It is also dependent on whether the L2 guest was running at
the moment when the process was interrupted to save its state.
With this capability, there are two new vcpu ioctls: KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE
and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE. These can be used for saving and restoring a VM
that is in VMX operation.

General KVM huge page support on s390 has to be enabled via the
kvm.hpage module parameter. Either nested or hpage can be enabled, as
we currently do not support vSIE for huge backed guests. Once the vSIE
support is added we will either drop the parameter or enable it as
default.
For a guest the feature has to be enabled through the new
KVM_CAP_S390_HPAGE_1M capability and the hpage module
parameter. Enabling it means that cmm can't be enabled for the vm and
disables pfmf and storage key interpretation.
This is due to the fact that in some cases, in upcoming patches, we
have to split huge pages in the guest mapping to be able to set more
granular memory protection on 4k pages. These split pages have fake
page tables that are not visible to the Linux memory management which
subsequently will not manage its PGSTEs, while the SIE will. Disabling
these features lets us manage PGSTE data in a consistent matter and
solve that problem.

effects this has on restoring the interrupt groups for an emulated GICv2
instance.
Also remove some outdated limitations in the documentation while we're
at it.

Compared to KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST, this new attribute allows

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.)

- virtio gpu plumbing. The 3 non-KVM/s390 patches have Acks from
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Heiko Carstens and Greg Kroah-Hartman
but all belong together to make virtio-gpu work as a tty. So
I carried them in the KVM/s390 tree.

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.

Guests on new hypersiors might set KVM_ASYNC_PF_DELIVERY_AS_PF_VMEXIT
bit when enabling async_PF, but this bit is reserved on old hypervisors,
which results in a failure upon migration.
To avoid breaking different cases, we are checking for CPUID feature bit
before enabling the feature and nothing else.
