KVM: X86: Add the Document for KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT · c32b1b89

Chenyi Qiang authored Nov 06, 2020

Introduce a new capability named KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT, which is
used to handle bus locks detected in guest. It allows the userspace to
do custom throttling policies to mitigate the 'noisy neighbour' problem.

KVM: VMX: Enable bus lock VM exit · fe6b6bc8

Chenyi Qiang authored Nov 06, 2020

Virtual Machine can exploit bus locks to degrade the performance of
system. Bus lock can be caused by split locked access to writeback(WB)
memory or by using locks on uncacheable(UC) memory. The bus lock is
typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache
line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait for
the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can
complete).

To address the threat, bus lock VM exit is introduced to notify the VMM
when a bus lock was acquired, allowing it to enforce throttling or other
policy based mitigations.

A VMM can enable VM exit due to bus locks by setting a new "Bus Lock
Detection" VM-execution control(bit 30 of Secondary Processor-based VM
execution controls). If delivery of this VM exit was preempted by a
higher priority VM exit (e.g. EPT misconfiguration, EPT violation, APIC
access VM exit, APIC write VM exit, exception bitmap exiting), bit 26 of
exit reason in vmcs field is set to 1.

In current implementation, the KVM exposes this capability through
KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT. The user can get the supported mode bitmap
(i.e. off and exit) and enable it explicitly (disabled by default). If
bus locks in guest are detected by KVM, exit to user space even when
current exit reason is handled by KVM internally. Set a new field
KVM_RUN_BUS_LOCK in vcpu->run->flags to inform the user space that there
is a bus lock detected in guest.

Document for Bus Lock VM exit is now available at the latest "Intel
Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference".

KVM: X86: Reset the vcpu->run->flags at the beginning of vcpu_run · 15aad3be

Chenyi Qiang authored Nov 06, 2020



Reset the vcpu->run->flags at the beginning of kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run.
It can avoid every thunk of code that needs to set the flag clear it,
which increases the odds of missing a case and ending up with a flag in
an undefined state.

KVM: VMX: Convert vcpu_vmx.exit_reason to a union · 8e533240

Sean Christopherson authored Nov 06, 2020

Convert vcpu_vmx.exit_reason from a u32 to a union (of size u32). The
full VM_EXIT_REASON field is comprised of a 16-bit basic exit reason in
bits 15:0, and single-bit modifiers in bits 31:16.

Historically, KVM has only had to worry about handling the "failed
VM-Entry" modifier, which could only be set in very specific flows and
required dedicated handling. I.e. manually stripping the FAILED_VMENTRY
bit was a somewhat viable approach. But even with only a single bit to
worry about, KVM has had several bugs related to comparing a basic exit
reason against the full exit reason store in vcpu_vmx.

Upcoming Intel features, e.g. SGX, will add new modifier bits that can
be set on more or less any VM-Exit, as opposed to the significantly more
restricted FAILED_VMENTRY, i.e. correctly handling everything in one-off
flows isn't scalable. Tracking exit reason in a union forces code to
explicitly choose between consuming the full exit reason and the basic
exit, and is a convenient way to document and access the modifiers.

No functional change intended.

KVM/SVM: add support for SEV attestation command · 2c07ded0

Brijesh Singh authored Jan 04, 2021



The SEV FW version >= 0.23 added a new command that can be used to query
the attestation report containing the SHA-256 digest of the guest memory
encrypted through the KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_UPDATE_{DATA, VMSA} commands and
sign the report with the Platform Endorsement Key (PEK).

See the SEV FW API spec section 6.8 for more details.

Note there already exist a command (KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE) that can be
used to get the SHA-256 digest. The main difference between the
KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE and KVM_SEV_ATTESTATION_REPORT is that the latter
can be called while the guest is running and the measurement value is
signed with PEK.

KVM: selftests: Disable dirty logging with vCPUs running · c1d1650f

Ben Gardon authored Feb 02, 2021



Disabling dirty logging is much more intestesting from a testing
perspective if the vCPUs are still running. This also excercises the
code-path in which collapsible SPTEs must be faulted back in at a higher
level after disabling dirty logging.
