2020-09-28KVM: x86: Introduce MSR filteringAlexander Graf
It's not desireable to have all MSRs always handled by KVM kernel space. Some MSRs would be useful to handle in user space to either emulate behavior (like uCode updates) or differentiate whether they are valid based on the CPU model. To allow user space to specify which MSRs it wants to see handled by KVM, this patch introduces a new ioctl to push filter rules with bitmaps into KVM. Based on these bitmaps, KVM can then decide whether to reject MSR access. With the addition of KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR it can also deflect the denied MSR events to user space to operate on. If no filter is populated, MSR handling stays identical to before.

2020-09-28KVM: x86: Allow deflecting unknown MSR accesses to user spaceAlexander Graf
MSRs are weird. Some of them are normal control registers, such as EFER. Some however are registers that really are model specific, not very interesting to virtualization workloads, and not performance critical. Others again are really just windows into package configuration. Out of these MSRs, only the first category is necessary to implement in kernel space. Rarely accessed MSRs, MSRs that should be fine tunes against certain CPU models and MSRs that contain information on the package level are much better suited for user space to process. However, over time we have accumulated a lot of MSRs that are not the first category, but still handled by in-kernel KVM code. This patch adds a generic interface to handle WRMSR and RDMSR from user space. With this, any future MSR that is part of the latter categories can be handled in user space. Furthermore, it allows us to replace the existing "ignore_msrs" logic with something that applies per-VM rather than on the full system. That way you can run productive VMs in parallel to experimental ones where you don't care about proper MSR handling.

2020-08-21arm64/x86: KVM: Introduce steal-time capAndrew Jones
arm64 requires a vcpu fd (KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR vcpu ioctl) to probe support for steal-time. However this is unnecessary, as only a KVM fd is required, and it complicates userspace (userspace may prefer delaying vcpu creation until after feature probing). Introduce a cap that can be checked instead. While x86 can already probe steal-time support with a kvm fd (KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID), we add the cap there too for consistency.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks. - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9 or later. - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice. - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures. - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems. - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs. - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path. - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

2020-06-01x86/kvm/hyper-v: Add support for synthetic debugger interfaceJon Doron
Add support for Hyper-V synthetic debugger (syndbg) interface. The syndbg interface is using MSRs to emulate a way to send/recv packets data. The debug transport dll (kdvm/kdnet) will identify if Hyper-V is enabled and if it supports the synthetic debugger interface it will attempt to use it, instead of trying to initialize a network adapter.

2020-06-01x86/kvm/hyper-v: Explicitly align hcall param for kvm_hyperv_exitJon Doron
The problem the patch is trying to address is the fact that 'struct kvm_hyperv_exit' has different layout on when compiling in 32 and 64 bit modes. In 64-bit mode the default alignment boundary is 64 bits thus forcing extra gaps after 'type' and 'msr' but in 32-bit mode the boundary is at 32 bits thus no extra gaps. This is an issue as even when the kernel is 64 bit, the userspace using the interface can be both 32 and 64 bit but the same 32 bit userspace has to work with 32 bit kernel. The issue is fixed by forcing the 64 bit layout, this leads to ABI change for 32 bit builds and while we are obviously breaking '32 bit userspace with 32 bit kernel' case, we're fixing the '32 bit userspace with 64 bit kernel' one. As the interface has no (known) users and 32 bit KVM is rather baroque nowadays, this seems like a reasonable decision.

2020-06-01KVM: x86: acknowledgment mechanism for async pf page ready notificationsVitaly Kuznetsov
If two page ready notifications happen back to back the second one is not delivered and the only mechanism we currently have is kvm_check_async_pf_completion() check in vcpu_run() loop. The check will only be performed with the next vmexit when it happens and in some cases it may take a while. With interrupt based page ready notification delivery the situation is even worse: unlike exceptions, interrupts are not handled immediately so we must check if the slot is empty. This is slow and unnecessary. Introduce dedicated MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_ACK MSR to communicate the fact that the slot is free and host should check its notification queue. Mandate using it for interrupt based 'page ready' APF event delivery. As kvm_check_async_pf_completion() is going away from vcpu_run() we need a way to communicate the fact that vcpu->async_pf.done queue has transitioned from empty to non-empty state. Introduce kvm_arch_async_page_present_queued() and KVM_REQ_APF_READY to do the job.

2020-06-01KVM: x86: interrupt based APF 'page ready' event deliveryVitaly Kuznetsov
Concerns were expressed around APF delivery via synthetic #PF exception as in some cases such delivery may collide with real page fault. For 'page ready' notifications we can easily switch to using an interrupt instead. Introduce new MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_INT mechanism and deprecate the legacy one. One notable difference between the two mechanisms is that interrupt may not get handled immediately so whenever we would like to deliver next event (regardless of its type) we must be sure the guest had read and cleared previous event in the slot. While on it, get rid on 'type 1/type 2' names for APF events in the documentation as they are causing confusion. Use 'page not present' and 'page ready' everywhere instead.

2020-05-16KVM: arm64: Support enabling dirty log gradually in small chunksKeqian Zhu
There is already support of enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks for x86 in commit 3c9bd4006bfc ("KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in small chunks"). This adds support for arm64. x86 still writes protect all huge pages when DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_ALL_SET is enabled. However, for arm64, both huge pages and normal pages can be write protected gradually by userspace. Under the Huawei Kunpeng 920 2.6GHz platform, I did some tests on 128G Linux VMs with different page size. The memory pressure is 127G in each case. The time taken of memory_global_dirty_log_start in QEMU is listed below: Page Size Before After Optimization 4K 650ms 1.8ms 2M 4ms 1.8ms 1G 2ms 1.8ms Besides the time reduction, the biggest improvement is that we will minimize the performance side effect (because of dissolving huge pages and marking memslots dirty) on guest after enabling dirty log.

2020-04-21KVM: nVMX: Remove non-functional "support" for CR3 target valuesSean Christopherson
Remove all references to cr3_target_value[0-3] and replace the fields in vmcs12 with "dead_space" to preserve the vmcs12 layout. KVM doesn't support emulating CR3-target values, despite a variety of code that implies otherwise, as KVM unconditionally reports '0' for the number of supported CR3-target values. This technically fixes a bug where KVM would incorrectly allow VMREAD and VMWRITE to nonexistent fields, i.e. cr3_target_value[0-3]. Per Intel's SDM, the number of supported CR3-target values reported in VMX_MISC also enumerates the existence of the associated VMCS fields: If a future implementation supports more than 4 CR3-target values, they will be encoded consecutively following the 4 encodings given here. Alternatively, the "bug" could be fixed by actually advertisting support for 4 CR3-target values, but that'd likely just enable kvm-unit-tests given that no one has complained about lack of support for going on ten years, e.g. KVM, Xen and HyperV don't use CR3-target values.
