Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- GICv4.1 support
- 32bit host removal
PPC:
- secure (encrypted) using under the Protected Execution Framework
ultravisor
s390:
- allow disabling GISA (hardware interrupt injection) and protected
VMs/ultravisor support.
x86:
- New dirty bitmap flag that sets all bits in the bitmap when dirty
page logging is enabled; this is faster because it doesn't require
bulk modification of the page tables.
- Initial work on making nested SVM event injection more similar to
VMX, and less buggy.
- Various cleanups to MMU code (though the big ones and related
optimizations were delayed to 5.8). Instead of using cr3 in
function names which occasionally means eptp, KVM too has
standardized on "pgd".
- A large refactoring of CPUID features, which now use an array that
parallels the core x86_features.
- Some removal of pointer chasing from kvm_x86_ops, which will also
be switched to static calls as soon as they are available.
- New Tigerlake CPUID features.
- More bugfixes, optimizations and cleanups.
Generic:
- selftests: cleanups, new MMU notifier stress test, steal-time test
- CSV output for kvm_stat"

KVM: s390: Fix for error codes
- return the proper error to userspace when a signal interrupts the
KSM unsharing operation
|
|
If a signal is pending we might return -ENOMEM instead of -EINTR.
We should propagate the proper error during KSM unsharing.
unmerge_ksm_pages returns -ERESTARTSYS on signal_pending. This gets
translated by entry.S to -EINTR. It is important to get this error
code so that userspace can retry.
To make this clearer we also add -EINTR to the documentation of the
PV_ENABLE call, which calls unmerge_ksm_pages.

At present, on Power systems with Protected Execution Facility
hardware and an ultravisor, a KVM guest can transition to being a
secure guest at will. Userspace (QEMU) has no way of knowing
whether a host system is capable of running secure guests. This
will present a problem in future when the ultravisor is capable of
migrating secure guests from one host to another, because
virtualization management software will have no way to ensure that
secure guests only run in domains where all of the hosts can
support secure guests.
This adds a VM capability which has two functions: (a) userspace
can query it to find out whether the host can support secure guests,
and (b) userspace can enable it for a guest, which allows that
guest to become a secure guest. If userspace does not enable it,
KVM will return an error when the ultravisor does the hypercall
that indicates that the guest is starting to transition to a
secure guest. The ultravisor will then abort the transition and
the guest will terminate.

Userspace has no way to query if SEV has been disabled with the
sev module parameter of kvm-amd.ko. Actually it has one, but it
is a hack: do ioctl(KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP, NULL) and check if it
returns EFAULT. Make it a little nicer by returning zero for
SEV enabled and NULL argument, and while at it document the
ioctl arguments.

KVM: s390: Features and Enhancements for 5.7 part1
1. Allow to disable gisa
2. protected virtual machines
Protected VMs (PVM) are KVM VMs, where KVM can't access the VM's
state like guest memory and guest registers anymore. Instead the
PVMs are mostly managed by a new entity called Ultravisor (UV),
which provides an API, so KVM and the PV can request management
actions.
PVMs are encrypted at rest and protected from hypervisor access
while running. They switch from a normal operation into protected
mode, so we can still use the standard boot process to load a
encrypted blob and then move it into protected mode.
Rebooting is only possible by passing through the unprotected/normal
mode and switching to protected again.
One mm related patch will go via Andrews mm tree ( mm/gup/writeback:
add callbacks for inaccessible pages)

Remove the code for handling stateful CPUID 0x2 and mark the associated
flags as deprecated. WARN if host CPUID 0x2.0.AL > 1, i.e. if by some
miracle a host with stateful CPUID 0x2 is encountered.
No known CPU exists that supports hardware accelerated virtualization
_and_ a stateful CPUID 0x2. Barring an extremely contrived nested
virtualization scenario, stateful CPUID support is dead code.

It could take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time when
enabling dirty log for the first time. The main cost is to clear
all the D-bits of last level SPTEs. This situation can benefit from
manual dirty log protect as well, which can reduce the mmu_lock
time taken. The sequence is like this:
1. Initialize all the bits of the dirty bitmap to 1 when enabling
dirty log for the first time
2. Only write protect the huge pages
3. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns the dirty bitmap info
4. KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG will clear D-bit for each of the leaf level
SPTEs gradually in small chunks
Under the Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6152 CPU @ 2.10GHz environment,
I did some tests with a 128G windows VM and counted the time taken
of memory_global_dirty_log_start, here is the numbers:

A lot of the registers are controlled by the Ultravisor and never
visible to KVM. Some fields in the sie control block are overlayed, like
gbea. As no known userspace uses the ONE_REG interface on s390 if sync
regs are available, no functionality is lost if it is disabled for
protected guests.

The adapter interrupt page containing the indicator bits is currently
pinned. That means that a guest with many devices can pin a lot of
memory pages in the host. This also complicates the reference tracking
which is needed for memory management handling of protected virtual
machines. It might also have some strange side effects for madvise
MADV_DONTNEED and other things.
We can simply try to get the userspace page set the bits and free the
page. By storing the userspace address in the irq routing entry instead
of the guest address we can actually avoid many lookups and list walks
so that this variant is very likely not slower.
If userspace messes around with the memory slots the worst thing that
can happen is that we write to some other memory within that process.
As we get the the page with FOLL_WRITE this can also not be used to
write to shared read-only pages.

The architecture states that we need to reset local IRQs for all CPU
resets. Because the old reset interface did not support the normal CPU
reset we never did that on a normal reset.
Let's implement an interface for the missing normal and clear resets
and reset all local IRQs, registers and control structures as stated
in the architecture.
Userspace might already reset the registers via the vcpu run struct,
but as we need the interface for the interrupt clearing part anyway,
we implement the resets fully and don't rely on userspace to reset the
rest.

Add support for reset of secure guest via a new ioctl KVM_PPC_SVM_OFF.
This ioctl will be issued by QEMU during reset and includes the
the following steps:
- Release all device pages of the secure guest.
- Ask UV to terminate the guest via UV_SVM_TERMINATE ucall
- Unpin the VPA pages so that they can be migrated back to secure
side when guest becomes secure again. This is required because
pinned pages can't be migrated.
- Reinit the partition scoped page tables
After these steps, guest is ready to issue UV_ESM call once again
to switch to secure mode.
