      KVM: arm/arm64: check IRQ number on userland injection · fd1d0ddf
      Andre Przywara authored
      
      
      When userland injects a SPI via the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl we currently
      only check it against a fixed limit, which historically is set
      to 127. With the new dynamic IRQ allocation the effective limit may
      actually be smaller (64).
      So when now a malicious or buggy userland injects a SPI in that
      range, we spill over on our VGIC bitmaps and bytemaps memory.
      I could trigger a host kernel NULL pointer dereference with current
      mainline by injecting some bogus IRQ number from a hacked kvmtool:
      -----------------
      ....
      DEBUG: kvm_vgic_inject_irq(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
      DEBUG: vgic_update_irq_pending(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
      DEBUG: IRQ #114 still in the game, writing to bytemap now...
      Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
      pgd = ffffffc07652e000
      [00000000] *pgd=00000000f658b003, *pud=00000000f658b003, *pmd=0000000000000000
      Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
      Modules linked in:

      task: ffffffc0774e9680 ti: ffffffc0765a8000 task.ti: ffffffc0765a8000
      PC is at kvm_vgic_inject_irq+0x234/0x310
      LR is at kvm_vgic_inject_irq+0x30c/0x310
      pc : [<ffffffc0000ae0a8>] lr : [<ffffffc0000ae180>] pstate: 80000145
      .....
      
      So this patch fixes this by checking the SPI number against the
      actual limit. Also we remove the former legacy hard limit of
      127 in the ioctl code.

      KVM: VMX: Preserve host CR4.MCE value while in guest mode. · 085e68ee
      Ben Serebrin authored
      
      
      The host's decision to enable machine check exceptions should remain
      in force during non-root mode.  KVM was writing 0 to cr4 on VCPU reset
      and passed a slightly-modified 0 to the vmcs.guest_cr4 value.
      
      Tested: Built.
      On earlier version, tested by injecting machine check
      while a guest is spinning.
      
      Before the change, if guest CR4.MCE==0, then the machine check is
      escalated to Catastrophic Error (CATERR) and the machine dies.
      If guest CR4.MCE==1, then the machine check causes VMEXIT and is
      handled normally by host Linux. After the change, injecting a machine
      check causes normal Linux machine check handling.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use msgsnd for signalling threads on POWER8 · 66feed61
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      This uses msgsnd where possible for signalling other threads within
      the same core on POWER8 systems, rather than IPIs through the XICS
      interrupt controller.  This includes waking secondary threads to run
      the guest, the interrupts generated by the virtual XICS, and the
      interrupts to bring the other threads out of the guest when exiting.
      
      Aggregated statistics from debugfs across vcpus for a guest with 32
      vcpus, 8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, show this before the
      change:
      
       rm_entry:     3387.6ns (228 - 86600, 1008969 samples)
        rm_exit:     4561.5ns (12 - 3477452, 1009402 samples)
        rm_intr:     1660.0ns (12 - 553050, 3600051 samples)
      
      and this after the change:
      
       rm_entry:     3060.1ns (212 - 65138, 953873 samples)
        rm_exit:     4244.1ns (12 - 9693408, 954331 samples)
        rm_intr:     1342.3ns (12 - 1104718, 3405326 samples)
      
      for a test of booting Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.
      
      The time taken for a H_PROD hcall (which is handled in the host
      kernel) went down from about 35 microseconds to about 16 microseconds
      with this change.
      
      The noinline added to kvmppc_run_core turned out to be necessary for
      good performance, at least with gcc 4.9.2 as packaged with Fedora 21
      and a little-endian POWER8 host.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Streamline guest entry and exit · 6af27c84
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      On entry to the guest, secondary threads now wait for the primary to
      switch the MMU after loading up most of their state, rather than before.
      This means that the secondary threads get into the guest sooner, in the
      common case where the secondary threads get to kvmppc_hv_entry before
      the primary thread.
      
      On exit, the first thread out increments the exit count and interrupts
      the other threads (to get them out of the guest) before saving most
      of its state, rather than after.  That means that the other threads
      exit sooner and means that the first thread doesn't spend so much
      time waiting for the other threads at the point where the MMU gets
      switched back to the host.
      
      This pulls out the code that increments the exit count and interrupts
      other threads into a separate function, kvmhv_commence_exit().
      This also makes sure that r12 and vcpu->arch.trap are set correctly
      in some corner cases.
      
      Statistics from /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/vm*/vcpu*/timings show the
      improvement.  Aggregating across vcpus for a guest with 32 vcpus,
      8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, gives this before the change:
      
       rm_entry:     avg 4537.3ns (222 - 48444, 1068878 samples)
        rm_exit:     avg 4787.6ns (152 - 165490, 1010717 samples)
        rm_intr:     avg 1673.6ns (12 - 341304, 3818691 samples)
      
      and this after the change:
      
       rm_entry:     avg 3427.7ns (232 - 68150, 1118921 samples)
        rm_exit:     avg 4716.0ns (12 - 150720, 1119477 samples)
        rm_intr:     avg 1614.8ns (12 - 522436, 3850432 samples)
      
      showing a substantial reduction in the time spent per guest entry in
      the real-mode guest entry code, and smaller reductions in the real
      mode guest exit and interrupt handling times.  (The test was to start
      the guest and boot Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.)

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use bitmap of active threads rather than count · 7d6c40da
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      Currently, the entry_exit_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct
      contains two 8-bit counts, one of the threads that have started entering
      the guest, and one of the threads that have started exiting the guest.
      This changes it to an entry_exit_map field which contains two bitmaps
      of 8 bits each.  The advantage of doing this is that it gives us a
      bitmap of which threads need to be signalled when exiting the guest.
      That means that we no longer need to use the trick of setting the
      HDEC to 0 to pull the other threads out of the guest, which led in
      some cases to a spurious HDEC interrupt on the next guest entry.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use decrementer to wake napping threads · fd6d53b1
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      This arranges for threads that are napping due to their vcpu having
      ceded or due to not having a vcpu to wake up at the end of the guest's
      timeslice without having to be poked with an IPI.  We do that by
      arranging for the decrementer to contain a value no greater than the
      number of timebase ticks remaining until the end of the timeslice.
      In the case of a thread with no vcpu, this number is in the hypervisor
      decrementer already.  In the case of a ceded vcpu, we use the smaller
      of the HDEC value and the DEC value.
      
      Using the DEC like this when ceded means we need to save and restore
      the guest decrementer value around the nap.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't wake thread with no vcpu on guest IPI · ccc07772
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      When running a multi-threaded guest and vcpu 0 in a virtual core
      is not running in the guest (i.e. it is busy elsewhere in the host),
      thread 0 of the physical core will switch the MMU to the guest and
      then go to nap mode in the code at kvm_do_nap.  If the guest sends
      an IPI to thread 0 using the msgsndp instruction, that will wake
      up thread 0 and cause all the threads in the guest to exit to the
      host unnecessarily.  To avoid the unnecessary exit, this arranges
      for the PECEDP bit to be cleared in this situation.  When napping
      due to a H_CEDE from the guest, we still set PECEDP so that the
      thread will wake up on an IPI sent using msgsndp.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Get rid of vcore nap_count and n_woken · 5d5b99cd
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      We can tell when a secondary thread has finished running a guest by
      the fact that it clears its kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu pointer, so there
      is no real need for the nap_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct.
      This changes kvmppc_wait_for_nap to poll the kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu
      pointers of the secondary threads rather than polling vc->nap_count.
      Besides reducing the size of the kvmppc_vcore struct by 8 bytes,
      this also means that we can tell which secondary threads have got
      stuck and thus print a more informative error message.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Move vcore preemption point up into kvmppc_run_vcpu · 25fedfca
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      Rather than calling cond_resched() in kvmppc_run_core() before doing
      the post-processing for the vcpus that we have just run (that is,
      calling kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), kvmppc_set_timer(), etc.), we now do
      that post-processing before calling cond_resched(), and that post-
      processing is moved out into its own function, post_guest_process().
      
      The reschedule point is now in kvmppc_run_vcpu() and we define a new
      vcore state, VCORE_PREEMPT, to indicate that that the vcore's runner
      task is runnable but not running.  (Doing the reschedule with the
      vcore in VCORE_INACTIVE state would be bad because there are potentially
      other vcpus waiting for the runner in kvmppc_wait_for_exec() which
      then wouldn't get woken up.)
      
      Also, we make use of the handy cond_resched_lock() function, which
      unlocks and relocks vc->lock for us around the reschedule.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Simplify handling of VCPUs that need a VPA update · d911f0be
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      Previously, if kvmppc_run_core() was running a VCPU that needed a VPA
      update (i.e. one of its 3 virtual processor areas needed to be pinned
      in memory so the host real mode code can update it on guest entry and
      exit), we would drop the vcore lock and do the update there and then.
      Future changes will make it inconvenient to drop the lock, so instead
      we now remove it from the list of runnable VCPUs and wake up its
      VCPU task.  This will have the effect that the VCPU task will exit
      kvmppc_run_vcpu(), go around the do loop in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv(), and
      re-enter kvmppc_run_vcpu(), whereupon it will do the necessary call
      to kvmppc_update_vpas() and then rejoin the vcore.
      
      The one complication is that the runner VCPU (whose VCPU task is the
      current task) might be one of the ones that gets removed from the
      runnable list.  In that case we just return from kvmppc_run_core()
      and let the code in kvmppc_run_vcpu() wake up another VCPU task to be
      the runner if necessary.
      
      This all means that the VCORE_STARTING state is no longer used, so we
      remove it.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Accumulate timing information for real-mode code · b6c295df
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest
      entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and
      maximum time spent in those parts of the code.  Currently these
      times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code:
      
      * rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until
        just before entering the guest.
      * rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the
        guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the
        host.  This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode.
      * rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the
        return from kvmppc_hv_entry().
      * guest - time spend in the guest
      * cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall
        while other threads in the same vcore are active.
      
      These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that
      contains a file called "timings".  This file contains one line for
      each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and
      4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been
      executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time,
      all in nanoseconds.
      
      The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that
      is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%.  Since
      production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new
      code is conditional on a new config symbol,
      CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Create debugfs file for each guest's HPT · e23a808b
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      This creates a debugfs directory for each HV guest (assuming debugfs
      is enabled in the kernel config), and within that directory, a file
      by which the contents of the guest's HPT (hashed page table) can be
      read.  The directory is named vmnnnn, where nnnn is the PID of the
      process that created the guest.  The file is named "htab".  This is
      intended to help in debugging problems in the host's management
      of guest memory.
      
      The contents of the file consist of a series of lines like this:
      
        3f48 4000d032bf003505 0000000bd7ff1196 00000003b5c71196
      
      The first field is the index of the entry in the HPT, the second and
      third are the HPT entry, so the third entry contains the real page
      number that is mapped by the entry if the entry's valid bit is set.
      The fourth field is the guest's view of the second doubleword of the
      entry, so it contains the guest physical address.  (The format of the
      second through fourth fields are described in the Power ISA and also

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add ICP real mode counters · 6e0365b7
      Suresh Warrier authored
      
      
      Add two counters to count how often we generate real-mode ICS resend
      and reject events. The counters provide some performance statistics
      that could be used in the future to consider if the real mode functions
      need further optimizing. The counters are displayed as part of IPC and
      ICP state provided by /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/kvm* for each VM.
      
      Also added two counters that count (approximately) how many times we
      don't find an ICP or ICS we're looking for. These are not currently
      exposed through sysfs, but can be useful when debugging crashes.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Move virtual mode ICP functions to real-mode · b0221556
      Suresh Warrier authored
      
      
      Interrupt-based hypercalls return H_TOO_HARD to inform KVM that it needs
      to switch to the host to complete the rest of hypercall function in
      virtual mode. This patch ports the virtual mode ICS/ICP reject and resend
      functions to be runnable in hypervisor real mode, thus avoiding the need
      to switch to the host to execute these functions in virtual mode. However,
      the hypercalls continue to return H_TOO_HARD for vcpu_wakeup and notify
      events - these events cannot be done in real mode and they will still need
      a switch to host virtual mode.
      
      There are sufficient differences between the real mode code and the
      virtual mode code for the ICS/ICP resend and reject functions that
      for now the code has been duplicated instead of sharing common code.
      In the future, we can look at creating common functions.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Convert ICS mutex lock to spin lock · 34cb7954
      Suresh Warrier authored
      
      
      Replaces the ICS mutex lock with a spin lock since we will be porting
      these routines to real mode. Note that we need to disable interrupts
      before we take the lock in anticipation of the fact that on the guest
      side, we are running in the context of a hard irq and interrupts are
      disabled (EE bit off) when the lock is acquired. Again, because we
      will be acquiring the lock in hypervisor real mode, we need to use
      an arch_spinlock_t instead of a normal spinlock here as we want to
      avoid running any lockdep code (which may not be safe to execute in
      real mode).

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add guest->host real mode completion counters · 878610fe
      Suresh E. Warrier authored
      
      
      Add counters to track number of times we switch from guest real mode
      to host virtual mode during an interrupt-related hyper call because the
      hypercall requires actions that cannot be completed in real mode. This
      will help when making optimizations that reduce guest-host transitions.
      
      It is safe to use an ordinary increment rather than an atomic operation
      because there is one ICP per virtual CPU and kvmppc_xics_rm_complete()
      only works on the ICP for the current VCPU.
      
      The counters are displayed as part of IPC and ICP state provided by
      /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/kvm* for each VM.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add fast real-mode H_RANDOM implementation. · e928e9cb
      Michael Ellerman authored
      
      
      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.

      kvmppc: Implement H_LOGICAL_CI_{LOAD,STORE} in KVM · 99342cf8
      David Gibson authored
      
      
      On POWER, storage caching is usually configured via the MMU - attributes
      such as cache-inhibited are stored in the TLB and the hashed page table.
      
      This makes correctly performing cache inhibited IO accesses awkward when
      the MMU is turned off (real mode).  Some CPU models provide special
      registers to control the cache attributes of real mode load and stores but
      this is not at all consistent.  This is a problem in particular for SLOF,
      the firmware used on KVM guests, which runs entirely in real mode, but
      which needs to do IO to load the kernel.
      
      To simplify this qemu implements two special hypercalls, H_LOGICAL_CI_LOAD
      and H_LOGICAL_CI_STORE which simulate a cache-inhibited load or store to
      a logical address (aka guest physical address).  SLOF uses these for IO.
      
      However, because these are implemented within qemu, not the host kernel,
      these bypass any IO devices emulated within KVM itself.  The simplest way
      to see this problem is to attempt to boot a KVM guest from a virtio-blk
      device with iothread / dataplane enabled.  The iothread code relies on an
      in kernel implementation of the virtio queue notification, which is not
      triggered by the IO hcalls, and so the guest will stall in SLOF unable to
      load the guest OS.
      
      This patch addresses this by providing in-kernel implementations of the
      2 hypercalls, which correctly scan the KVM IO bus.  Any access to an
      address not handled by the KVM IO bus will cause a VM exit, hitting the
      qemu implementation as before.
      
      Note that a userspace change is also required, in order to enable these
      new hcall implementations with KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL.

      Export __spin_yield so that the arch_spin_unlock() function can
      be invoked from a module. This will be required for modules where
      we want to take a lock that is also is acquired in hypervisor
      real mode. Because we want to avoid running any lockdep code
      (which may not be safe in real mode), this lock needs to be
      an arch_spinlock_t instead of a normal spinlock.
