2015-06-05KVM: x86: add SMM to the MMU role, support SMRAM address spacePaolo Bonzini1-0/+6
This is now very simple to do. The only interesting part is a simple trick to find the right memslot in gfn_to_rmap, retrieving the address space from the spte role word. The same trick is used in the auditing code. The comment on top of union kvm_mmu_page_role has been stale forever, so remove it. Speaking of stale code, remove pad_for_nice_hex_output too: it was splitting the "access" bitfield across two bytes and thus had effectively turned into pad_for_ugly_hex_output.

2015-05-07KVM: x86: Support for disabling quirksNadav Amit1-1/+2
Introducing KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS for disabling x86 quirks that were previous created in order to overcome QEMU issues. Those issue were mostly result of invalid VM BIOS. Currently there are two quirks that can be disabled: 1. KVM_QUIRK_LINT0_REENABLED - LINT0 was enabled after boot 2. KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED - CD and NW are cleared after boot These two issues are already resolved in recent releases of QEMU, and would therefore be disabled by QEMU.

2015-04-21KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add fast real-mode H_RANDOM implementation.Michael Ellerman1-0/+17
Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator. This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency oscillators and are almost completely entropic. PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one 64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for all the threads in the same virtual core. Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

2015-03-31KVM: s390: migrate vcpu interrupt stateJens Freimann1-0/+61
This patch adds support to migrate vcpu interrupts. Two new vcpu ioctls are added which get/set the complete status of pending interrupts in one go. The ioctls are marked as available with the new capability KVM_CAP_S390_IRQ_STATE. We can not use a ONEREG, as the number of pending local interrupts is not constant and depends on the number of CPUs. To retrieve the interrupt state we add an ioctl KVM_S390_GET_IRQ_STATE. Its input parameter is a pointer to a struct kvm_s390_irq_state which has a buffer and length. For all currently pending interrupts, we copy a struct kvm_s390_irq into the buffer and pass it to userspace. To store interrupt state into a buffer provided by userspace, we add an ioctl KVM_S390_SET_IRQ_STATE. It passes a struct kvm_s390_irq_state into the kernel and injects all interrupts contained in the buffer.

For backwards compatibility, the capability must be explicitly enabled in order to detect or make use of MSA from the guest. The capability is not supported if the hardware supports MSA vector partitioning, since the extra support cannot be tested yet and it extends the state that the userland program would have to save.

The MSA vector registers use the same register numbers as the FPU registers except with a different size (128bits). Since MSA depends on Status.FR=1, these registers are inaccessible when Status.FR=0. These registers are returned as a single native endian 128bit value, rather than least significant half first with each 64-bit half native endian as the kernel uses internally.

Add Config4 and Config5 co-processor 0 registers, and add capability to write the Config1, Config3, Config4, and Config5 registers using the KVM API. Only supported bits can be written, to minimise the chances of the guest being given a configuration from e.g. QEMU that is inconsistent with that being emulated, and as such the handling is in trap_emul.c as it may need to be different for VZ. Currently the only modification permitted is to make Config4 and Config5 exist via the M bits, but other bits will be added for FPU and MSA support in future patches. Care should be taken by userland not to change bits without fully handling the possible extra state that may then exist and which the guest may begin to use and depend on.

To cleanly restore an SMP VM we need to ensure that the current pause state of each vcpu is correctly recorded. Things could get confused if the CPU starts running after migration restore completes when it was paused before it state was captured. We use the existing KVM_GET/SET_MP_STATE ioctl to do this.

2015-03-12KVM: arm/arm64: add irqfd supportEric Auger1-1/+5
This patch enables irqfd on arm/arm64. Both irqfd and resamplefd are supported. Injection is implemented in vgic.c without routing. This patch enables CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD and CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD. KVM_CAP_IRQFD is now advertised. KVM_CAP_IRQFD_RESAMPLE capability automatically is advertised as soon as CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD is set. Irqfd injection is restricted to SPI. The rationale behind not supporting PPI irqfd injection is that any device using a PPI would be a private-to-the-CPU device (timer for instance), so its state would have to be context-switched along with the VCPU and would require in-kernel wiring anyhow. It is not a relevant use case for irqfds.

2015-03-06KVM: s390: Allocate and save/restore vector registersEric Farman1-0/+10
Define and allocate space for both the host and guest views of the vector registers for a given vcpu. The 32 vector registers occupy 128 bits each (512 bytes total), but architecturally are paired with 512 additional bytes of reserved space for future expansion. The kvm_sync_regs structs containing the registers are union'ed with 1024 bytes of padding in the common kvm_run struct. The addition of 1024 bytes of new register information clearly exceeds the existing union, so an expansion of that padding is required. When changing environments, we need to appropriately save and restore the vector registers viewed by both the host and guest, into and out of the sync_regs space. The floating point registers overlay the upper half of vector registers 0-15, so there's a bit of data duplication here that needs to be carefully avoided.

This patch enables cpu model support in kvm/s390 via the vm attribute interface. During KVM initialization, the host properties cpuid, IBC value and the facility list are stored in the architecture specific cpu model structure. During vcpu setup, these properties are taken to initialize the related SIE state. This mechanism allows to adjust the properties from user space and thus to implement different selectable cpu models. This patch uses the IBC functionality to block instructions that have not been implemented at the requested CPU type and GA level compared to the full host capability. Userspace has to initialize the cpu model before vcpu creation. A cpu model change of running vcpus is not possible.

The hrtimer might wake up too early or too late. Too early is fatal as vcpu_block will see that the wakeup condition is not met and sleep again. This CPU might never wake up again. This series addresses this problem. adjclock slowing down the host clock will result in too late wakeups. This will require more work. In addition to that we also change the hrtimer from REALTIME to MONOTONIC to avoid similar problems with timedatectl set-time. 3. sigp rework We will move all "slow" sigps to QEMU (protected with a capability that can be enabled) to avoid several races between concurrent SIGP orders. 4. Optimize the shadow page table Provide an interface to announce the maximum guest size. The kernel will use that to make the pagetable 2,3,4 (or theoretically) 5 levels. 5.

Most SIGP orders are handled partially in kernel and partially in user space. In order to: - Get a correct SIGP SET PREFIX handler that informs user space - Avoid race conditions between concurrently executed SIGP orders - Serialize SIGP orders per VCPU We need to handle all "slow" SIGP orders in user space. The remaining ones to be handled completely in kernel are: - SENSE - SENSE RUNNING - EXTERNAL CALL - EMERGENCY SIGNAL - CONDITIONAL EMERGENCY SIGNAL According to the PoP, they have to be fast. They can be executed without conflicting to the actions of other pending/concurrently executing orders (e.g. STOP vs. START).

Since the advent of VGIC dynamic initialization, this latter is initialized quite late on the first vcpu run or "on-demand", when injecting an IRQ or when the guest sets its registers. This initialization could be initiated explicitly much earlier by the users-space, as soon as it has provided the requested dimensioning parameters. This patch adds a new entry to the VGIC KVM device that allows the user to manually request the VGIC init: - a new KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL group is introduced. - Its first attribute is KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT The rationale behind introducing a group is to be able to add other controls later on, if needed.

2014-12-13arm/arm64: KVM: Turn off vcpus on PSCI shutdown/rebootChristoffer Dall1-0/+9
When a vcpu calls SYSTEM_OFF or SYSTEM_RESET with PSCI v0.2, the vcpus should really be turned off for the VM adhering to the suggestions in the PSCI spec, and it's the sane thing to do. Also, clarify the behavior and expectations for exits to user space with the KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT case.

2014-12-13arm/arm64: KVM: Clarify KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ABIChristoffer Dall1-0/+5
It is not clear that this ioctl can be called multiple times for a given vcpu. Userspace already does this, so clarify the ABI. Also specify that userspace is expected to always make secondary and subsequent calls to the ioctl with the same parameters for the VCPU as the initial call (which userspace also already does). Add code to check that userspace doesn't violate that ABI in the future, and move the kvm_vcpu_set_target() function which is currently duplicated between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions in guest.c to a common static function in arm.c, shared between both architectures.

2014-12-13arm/arm64: KVM: Correct KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT power off optionChristoffer Dall1-1/+2
The implementation of KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT is currently not doing what userspace expects, namely making sure that a vcpu which may have been turned off using PSCI is returned to its initial state, which would be powered on if userspace does not set the KVM_ARM_VCPU_POWER_OFF flag.

2014-11-03kvm: drop unsupported capabilities, fix documentationMichael S. Tsirkin1-7/+33
No kernel ever reported KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSIX, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSI, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_DEASSIGNMENT. This makes the documentation wrong, and no application ever written to use these capabilities has a chance to work correctly. The only way to detect support is to try, and test errno for ENOTTY. That's unfortunate, but we can't fix the past. Document the actual semantics, and drop the definitions from the exported header to make it easier for application developers to note and fix the bug.

When commit 6adba5274206 (KVM: Let host know whether the guest can handle async PF in non-userspace context.) is introduced, actually bit 2 still is reserved and should be zero. Instead, bit 1 is 1 to indicate if asynchronous page faults can be injected when vcpu is in cpl == 0, and also please see this, in the file kvm_para.h, #define KVM_ASYNC_PF_SEND_ALWAYS (1 << 1).

2014-09-03kvm: fix potentially corrupt mmio cacheDavid Matlack1-0/+14
vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit. If we increment the memslot generation number again after synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit. And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference of the current memslots during each exit. We can prevent the following case: vcpu (CPU 0) | thread (CPU 1) --------------------------------------------+-------------------------- 1 vm exit | 2 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | 3 decide to cache something based on | old memslots | 4 | change memslots | (increments generation) 5 | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu); 6 retrieve generation # from new memslots | 7 tag cache with new memslot generation | 8 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | ... | <action based on cache occurs even | though the caching decision was based | on the old memslots> | ... | <action *continues* to occur until next | memslot generation change, which may | be never> | | By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers, we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon after (8). Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to install_new_memslots. It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately, instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited, which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted right after synchronize_srcu() returns. To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number out of an SPTE. This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited. Using the low bit this way is somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.
