      KVM: VMX: update vcpu posted-interrupt descriptor when assigning device · a2486020
      Marcelo Tosatti authored
      For VMX, when a vcpu enters HLT emulation, pi_post_block will:
      
      1) Add vcpu to per-cpu list of blocked vcpus.
      
      2) Program the posted-interrupt descriptor "notification vector"
      to POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR
      
      With interrupt remapping, an interrupt will set the PIR bit for the
      vector programmed for the device on the CPU, test-and-set the
      ON bit on the posted interrupt descriptor, and if the ON bit is clear
      generate an interrupt for the notification vector.
      
      This way, the target CPU wakes upon a device interrupt and wakes up
      the target vcpu.
      
      Problem is that pi_post_block only programs the notification vector
      if kvm_arch_has_assigned_device() is true. Its possible for the
      following to happen:
      
      1) vcpu V HLTs on pcpu P, kvm_arch_has_assigned_device is false,
      notification vector is not programmed
      2) device is assigned to VM
      3) device interrupts vcpu V, sets ON bit
      (notification vector not programmed, so pcpu P remains in idle)
      4) vcpu 0 IPIs...

      KVM: selftests: allow using UFFD minor faults for demand paging · a4b9722a
      Axel Rasmussen authored
      
      
      UFFD handling of MINOR faults is a new feature whose use case is to
      speed up demand paging (compared to MISSING faults). So, it's
      interesting to let this selftest exercise this new mode.
      
      Modify the demand paging test to have the option of using UFFD minor
      faults, as opposed to missing faults. Now, when turning on userfaultfd
      with '-u', the desired mode has to be specified ("MISSING" or "MINOR").
      
      If we're in minor mode, before registering, prefault via the *alias*.
      This way, the guest will trigger minor faults, instead of missing
      faults, and we can UFFDIO_CONTINUE to resolve them.
      
      Modify the page fault handler function to use the right ioctl depending
      on the mode we're running in. In MINOR mode, use UFFDIO_CONTINUE.

      KVM: selftests: create alias mappings when using shared memory · 94f3f2b3
      Axel Rasmussen authored
      
      
      When a memory region is added with a src_type specifying that it should
      use some kind of shared memory, also create an alias mapping to the same
      underlying physical pages.
      
      And, add an API so tests can get access to these alias addresses.
      Basically, for a guest physical address, let us look up the analogous
      host *alias* address.
      
      In a future commit, we'll modify the demand paging test to take
      advantage of this to exercise UFFD minor faults. The idea is, we
      pre-fault the underlying pages *via the alias*. When the *guest*
      faults, it gets a "minor" fault (PTEs don't exist yet, but a page is
      already in the page cache). Then, the userfaultfd theads can handle the
      fault: they could potentially modify the underlying memory *via the
      alias* if they wanted to, and then they install the PTEs and let the
      guest carry on via a UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl.

      KVM: selftests: refactor vm_mem_backing_src_type flags · b3784bc2
      Axel Rasmussen authored
      
      
      Each struct vm_mem_backing_src_alias has a flags field, which denotes
      the flags used to mmap() an area of that type. Previously, this field
      never included MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, because
      vm_userspace_mem_region_add assumed that *all* types would always use
      those flags, and so it hardcoded them.
      
      In a follow-up commit, we'll add a new type: shmem. Areas of this type
      must not have MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, and instead they must have
      MAP_SHARED.
      
      So, refactor things. Make it so that the flags field of
      struct vm_mem_backing_src_alias really is a complete set of flags, and
      don't add in any extras in vm_userspace_mem_region_add. This will let us
      easily tack on shmem.

      KVM: selftests: compute correct demand paging size · 32ffa4f7
      Axel Rasmussen authored
      
      
      This is a preparatory commit needed before we can use different kinds of
      backing pages for guest memory.
      
      Previously, we used perf_test_args.host_page_size, which is the host's
      native page size (commonly 4K). For VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS this turns out
      to be okay, but in a follow-up commit we want to allow using different
      kinds of backing memory.
      
      Take VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_HUGETLB for example. Without this change, if
      we used that backing page type, when we issued a UFFDIO_COPY ioctl we'd
      only do so with 4K, rather than the full 2M of a backing hugepage. In
      this case, UFFDIO_COPY returns -EINVAL (__mcopy_atomic_hugetlb checks
      the size).

      If a KVM selftest is run on a machine without /dev/kvm, it will exit
      silently. Make it easy to tell what's happening by printing an error

      Opportunistically consolidate all codepaths that open /dev/kvm into a

      This slightly changes the semantics of vm_is_unrestricted_guest() by
      changing a TEST_ASSERT() to exit(KSFT_SKIP). However
      vm_is_unrestricted_guest() is only called in one place
      (x86_64/mmio_warning_test.c) and that is to determine if the test should
      be skipped or not.

      If /dev/kvm is not available then hardware_disable_test will hang
      indefinitely because the child process exits before posting to the
      semaphore for which the parent is waiting.
      
      Fix this by making the parent periodically check if the child has
      exited. We have to be careful to forward the child's exit status to
      preserve a KSFT_SKIP status.
      
      I considered just checking for /dev/kvm before creating the child
      process, but there are so many other reasons why the child could exit
      early that it seemed better to handle that as general case.
      
      Tested:
      
      $ ./hardware_disable_test
      /dev/kvm not available, skipping test
      $ echo $?
      4
      $ modprobe kvm_intel

      KVM: selftests: Fix 32-bit truncation of vm_get_max_gfn() · ef4c9f4f
      David Matlack authored
      vm_get_max_gfn() casts vm->max_gfn from a uint64_t to an unsigned int,
      which causes the upper 32-bits of the max_gfn to get truncated.
      
      Nobody noticed until now likely because vm_get_max_gfn() is only used
      as a mechanism to create a memslot in an unused region of the guest
      physical address space (the top), and the top of the 32-bit physical
      address space was always good enough.
      
      This fix reveals a bug in memslot_modification_stress_test which was
      trying to create a dummy memslot past the end of guest physical memory.
      Fix that by moving the dummy memslot lower.

      KVM: selftests: add a memslot-related performance benchmark · cad347fa
      Maciej S. Szmigiero authored
      
      
      This benchmark contains the following tests:
      * Map test, where the host unmaps guest memory while the guest writes to
      it (maps it).
      
      The test is designed in a way to make the unmap operation on the host
      take a negligible amount of time in comparison with the mapping
      operation in the guest.
      
      The test area is actually split in two: the first half is being mapped
      by the guest while the second half in being unmapped by the host.
      Then a guest <-> host sync happens and the areas are reversed.
      
      * Unmap test which is broadly similar to the above map test, but it is
      designed in an opposite way: to make the mapping operation in the guest
      take a negligible amount of time in comparison with the unmap operation
      on the host.
      This test is available in two variants: with per-page unmap operation
      or a chunked one (using 2 MiB chunk size).
      
      * Move active area test which involves moving the last (highest gfn)
      memslot a bit back and forth on the host while the guest is
      concurrently writing around the area being moved (including over the
      moved memslot).
      
      * Move inactive area test which is similar to the previous move active
      area test, but now guest writes all happen outside of the area being
      moved.
      
      * Read / write test in which the guest writes to the beginning of each
      page of the test area while the host writes to the middle of each such
      page.
      Then each side checks the values the other side has written.
      This particular test is not expected to give different results depending
      on particular memslots implementation, it is meant as a rough sanity
      check and to provide insight on the spread of test results expected.
      
      Each test performs its operation in a loop until a test period ends
      (this is 5 seconds by default, but it is configurable).
      Then the total count of loops done is divided by the actual elapsed
      time to give the test result.
      
      The tests have a configurable memslot cap with the "-s" test option, by
      default the system maximum is used.
      Each test is repeated a particular number of times (by default 20
      times), the best result achieved is printed.
      
      The test memory area is divided equally between memslots, the reminder
      is added to the last memslot.
      The test area size does not depend on the number of memslots in use.
      
      The tests also measure the time that it took to add all these memslots.
      The best result from the tests that use the whole test area is printed
      after all the requested tests are done.
      
      In general, these tests are designed to use as much memory as possible
      (within reason) while still doing 100+ loops even on high memslot counts
      with the default test length.
      Increasing the test runtime makes it increasingly more likely that some
      event will happen on the system during the test run, which might lower
      the test result.

      KVM: selftests: Keep track of memslots more efficiently · 22721a56
      Maciej S. Szmigiero authored
      
      
      The KVM selftest framework was using a simple list for keeping track of
      the memslots currently in use.
      This resulted in lookups and adding a single memslot being O(n), the
      later due to linear scanning of the existing memslot set to check for
      the presence of any conflicting entries.
      
      Before this change, benchmarking high count of memslots was more or less
      impossible as pretty much all the benchmark time was spent in the
      selftest framework code.
      
      We can simply use a rbtree for keeping track of both of gfn and hva.
      We don't need an interval tree for hva here as we can't have overlapping
      memslots because we allocate a completely new memory chunk for each new
      memslot.

      selftests: kvm: fix potential issue with ELF loading · a13534d6
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      
      
      vm_vaddr_alloc() sets up GVA to GPA mapping page by page; therefore, GPAs
      may not be continuous if same memslot is used for data and page table allocation.
      
      kvm_vm_elf_load() however expects a continuous range of HVAs (and thus GPAs)
      because it does not try to read file data page by page.  Fix this mismatch
      by allocating memory in one step.

      The extra memory pages is missed to be allocated during VM creating.
      perf_test_util and kvm_page_table_test use it to alloc extra memory

      KVM: X86: Fix vCPU preempted state from guest's point of view · 1eff0ada
      Wanpeng Li authored
      Commit 66570e96 (kvm: x86: only provide PV features if enabled in guest's
      CPUID) avoids to access pv tlb shootdown host side logic when this pv feature
      is not exposed to guest, however, kvm_steal_time.preempted not only leveraged
      by pv tlb shootdown logic but also mitigate the lock holder preemption issue.
      From guest's point of view, vCPU is always preempted since we lose the reset
      of kvm_steal_time.preempted before vmentry if pv tlb shootdown feature is not
      exposed. This patch fixes it by clearing kvm_steal_time.preempted before
      vmentry.

      KVM: X86: Bail out of direct yield in case of under-committed scenarios · 72b268a8
      Wanpeng Li authored
      
      
      In case of under-committed scenarios, vCPUs can be scheduled easily;
      kvm_vcpu_yield_to adds extra overhead, and it is also common to see
      when vcpu->ready is true but yield later failing due to p->state is
      TASK_RUNNING.
      
      Let's bail out in such scenarios by checking the length of current cpu
      runqueue, which can be treated as a hint of under-committed instead of
      guarantee of accuracy. 30%+ of directed-yield attempts can now avoid
      the expensive lookups in kvm_sched_yield() in an under-committed scenario.

       (kvm: exit halt polling on
      need_resched() as well). Due to PPC implements an arch specific halt
      polling logic, we have to the need_resched() check there as well. This
      patch adds a helper function that can be shared between book3s and generic
      halt-polling loops.
