To date, VMM-directed TSC synchronization and migration has been a bit messy. KVM has some baked-in heuristics around TSC writes to infer if the VMM is attempting to synchronize. This is problematic, as it depends on host userspace writing to the guest's TSC within 1 second of the last write. A much cleaner approach to configuring the guest's views of the TSC is to simply migrate the TSC offset for every vCPU. Offsets are idempotent, and thus not subject to change depending on when the VMM actually reads/writes values from/to KVM. The VMM can then read the TSC once with KVM_GET_CLOCK to capture a (realtime, host_tsc) pair at the instant when the guest is paused.

Protect the reference point for kvmclock with a seqcount, so that kvmclock updates for all vCPUs can proceed in parallel. Xen runstate updates will also run in parallel and not bounce the kvmclock cacheline. Of the variables that were protected by pvclock_gtod_sync_lock, nr_vcpus_matched_tsc is different because it is updated outside pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy and read inside it. Therefore, we need to keep it protected by a spinlock. In fact it must now be a raw spinlock, because pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy, being the write-side of a seqcount, is non-preemptible. Since we already have tsc_write_lock which is a raw spinlock, we can just use tsc_write_lock as the lock that protects the write-side of the seqcount. Co-developed-by:

Handling the migration of TSCs correctly is difficult, in part because Linux does not provide userspace with the ability to retrieve a (TSC, realtime) clock pair for a single instant in time. In lieu of a more convenient facility, KVM can report similar information in the kvm_clock structure. Provide userspace with a host TSC & realtime pair iff the realtime clock is based on the TSC. If userspace provides KVM_SET_CLOCK with a valid realtime value, advance the KVM clock by the amount of elapsed time. Do not step the KVM clock backwards, though, as it is a monotonic oscillator.

If allocation of rmaps fails, but some of the pointers have already been written, those pointers can be cleaned up when the memslot is freed, or even reused later for another attempt at allocating the rmaps. Therefore there is no need to WARN, as done for example in memslot_rmap_alloc, but the allocation *must* be skipped lest KVM will overwrite the previous pointer and will indeed leak memory.

The KVM page-table library refcounts the pages of concatenated stage-2 PGDs individually. However, when running KVM in protected mode, the host's stage-2 PGD is currently managed by EL2 as a single high-order compound page, which can cause the refcount of the tail pages to reach 0 when they shouldn't, hence corrupting the page-table. Fix this by introducing a new hyp_split_page() helper in the EL2 page allocator (matching the kernel's split_page() function), and make use of it from host_s2_zalloc_pages_exact().

For KVM RISC-V, we use KVM_GET_ONE_REG/KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctls to access VCPU config and registers from user-space. We have three types of VCPU registers: 1. CONFIG - these are VCPU config and capabilities 2. CORE - these are VCPU general purpose registers 3. CSR - these are VCPU control and status registers The CONFIG register available to user-space is ISA. The ISA register is a read and write register where user-space can only write the desired VCPU ISA capabilities before running the VCPU. The CORE registers available to user-space are PC, RA, SP, GP, TP, A0-A7, T0-T6, S0-S11 and MODE. Most of these are RISC-V general registers except PC and MODE. The PC register represents program counter whereas the MODE register represent VCPU privilege mode (i.e. S/U-mode). The CSRs available to user-space are SSTATUS, SIE, STVEC, SSCRATCH, SEPC, SCAUSE, STVAL, SIP, and SATP. All of these are read/write registers. In future, more VCPU register types will be added (such as FP) for the KVM_GET_ONE_REG/KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctls. Signed-off-by:

This patch implements VCPU interrupts and requests which are both asynchronous events. The VCPU interrupts can be set/unset using KVM_INTERRUPT ioctl from user-space.

Important VCPU requests implemented by this patch are: KVM_REQ_SLEEP - set whenever VCPU itself goes to sleep state KVM_REQ_VCPU_RESET - set whenever VCPU reset is requested The WFI trap-n-emulate (added later) will use KVM_REQ_SLEEP request and kvm_riscv_vcpu_has_interrupt() function. The KVM_REQ_VCPU_RESET request will be used by SBI emulation (added later) to power-up a VCPU in power-off state.

Avoid allocating the gfn_track arrays if nothing needs them. If there are no external to KVM users of the API (i.e. no GVT-g), then page tracking is only needed for shadow page tables. This means that when tdp is enabled and there are no external users, then the gfn_track arrays can be lazily allocated when the shadow MMU is actually used. This avoid allocations equal to .05% of guest memory when nested virtualization is not used, if the kernel is compiled without GVT-g. Signed-off-by:

Predictive Store Forwarding: AMD Zen3 processors feature a new technology called Predictive Store Forwarding (PSF). PSF is a hardware-based micro-architectural optimization designed to improve the performance of code execution by predicting address dependencies between loads and stores. How PSF works: It is very common for a CPU to execute a load instruction to an address that was recently written by a store. Modern CPUs implement a technique known as Store-To-Load-Forwarding (STLF) to improve performance in such cases. With STLF, data from the store is forwarded directly to the load without having to wait for it to be written to memory. In a typical CPU, STLF occurs after the address of both the load and store are calculated and determined to match. PSF expands on this by speculating on the relationship between loads and stores without waiting for the address calculation to complete. With PSF, the CPU learns over time the relationship between loads and stores. If STLF typically occurs between a particular store and load, the CPU will remember this. In typical code, PSF provides a performance benefit by speculating on the load result and allowing later instructions to begin execution sooner than they otherwise would be able to. The details of security analysis of AMD predictive store forwarding is documented here. https://www.amd.com/system/files/documents/security-analysis-predictive-store-forwarding.pdf Predictive Store Forwarding controls: There are two hardware control bits which influence the PSF feature: - MSR 48h bit 2 – Speculative Store Bypass (SSBD) - MSR 48h bit 7 – Predictive Store Forwarding Disable (PSFD) The PSF feature is disabled if either of these bits are set. These bits are controllable on a per-thread basis in an SMT system. By default, both SSBD and PSFD are 0 meaning that the speculation features are enabled. While the SSBD bit disables PSF and speculative store bypass, PSFD only disables PSF. PSFD may be desirable for software which is concerned with the speculative behavior of PSF but desires a smaller performance impact than setting SSBD. Support for PSFD is indicated in CPUID Fn8000_0008 EBX[28]. All processors that support PSF will also support PSFD. Linux kernel does not have the interface to enable/disable PSFD yet. Plan here is to expose the PSFD technology to KVM so that the guest kernel can make use of it if they wish to. Signed-off-by:

mmu_try_to_unsync_pages checks if page tracking is active for the given gfn, which requires knowing the memslot. We can pass down the memslot via make_spte to avoid this lookup. The memslot is also handy for make_spte's marking of the gfn as dirty: we can test whether dirty page tracking is enabled, and if so ensure that pages are mapped as writable with 4K granularity. Apart from the warning, no functional change is intended. Signed-off-by:
