KVM: MIPS: Change the definition of kvm type

2020-09-11T17:22:52+00:00

MIPS defines two kvm types: #define KVM_VM_MIPS_TE 0 #define KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ 1 In Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst it is said that "You probably want to use 0 as machine type", which implies that type 0 be the "automatic" or "default" type. And, in user-space libvirt use the null-machine (with type 0) to detect the kvm capability, which returns "KVM not supported" on a VZ platform. I try to fix it in QEMU but it is ugly: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-08/msg05629.html And Thomas Huth suggests me to change the definition of kvm type: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-09/msg03281.html So I define like this: #define KVM_VM_MIPS_AUTO 0 #define KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ 1 #define KVM_VM_MIPS_TE 2 Since VZ and TE cannot co-exists, using type 0 on a TE platform will still return success (so old user-space tools have no problems on new kernels); the advantage is that using type 0 on a VZ platform will not return failure. So, the only problem is "new user-space tools use type 2 on old kernels", but if we treat this as a kernel bug, we can backport this patch to old stable kernels.

arm64/x86: KVM: Introduce steal-time cap

2020-08-21T13:05:19+00:00

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.

KVM: x86: Add a capability for GUEST_MAXPHYADDR < HOST_MAXPHYADDR support

2020-07-10T21:01:53+00:00

This patch adds a new capability KVM_CAP_SMALLER_MAXPHYADDR which allows userspace to query if the underlying architecture would support GUEST_MAXPHYADDR < HOST_MAXPHYADDR and hence act accordingly (e.g. qemu can decide if it should warn for -cpu ..,phys-bits=X) The complications in this patch are due to unexpected (but documented) behaviour we see with NPF vmexit handling in AMD processor. If SVM is modified to add guest physical address checks in the NPF and guest #PF paths, we see the followning error multiple times in the 'access' test in kvm-unit-tests: test pte.p pte.36 pde.p: FAIL: pte 2000021 expected 2000001 Dump mapping: address: 0x123400000000 ------L4: 24c3027 ------L3: 24c4027 ------L2: 24c5021 ------L1: 1002000021 This is because the PTE's accessed bit is set by the CPU hardware before the NPF vmexit. This is handled completely by hardware and cannot be fixed in software. Therefore, availability of the new capability depends on a boolean variable allow_smaller_maxphyaddr which is set individually by VMX and SVM init routines. On VMX it's always set to true, on SVM it's only set to true when NPT is not enabled.

kvm: x86: Add "last CPU" to some KVM_EXIT information

2020-07-08T20:21:45+00:00

More often than not, a failed VM-entry in an x86 production environment is induced by a defective CPU. To help identify the bad hardware, include the id of the last logical CPU to run a vCPU in the information provided to userspace on a KVM exit for failed VM-entry or for KVM internal errors not associated with emulation. The presence of this additional information is indicated by a new capability, KVM_CAP_LAST_CPU.

s390/kvm: diagnose 0x318 sync and reset

2020-06-23T08:55:33+00:00

DIAGNOSE 0x318 (diag318) sets information regarding the environment the VM is running in (Linux, z/VM, etc) and is observed via firmware/service events. This is a privileged s390x instruction that must be intercepted by SIE. Userspace handles the instruction as well as migration. Data is communicated via VCPU register synchronization. The Control Program Name Code (CPNC) is stored in the SIE block. The CPNC along with the Control Program Version Code (CPVC) are stored in the kvm_vcpu_arch struct. This data is reset on load normal and clear resets.

x86/kvm/hyper-v: Add support for synthetic debugger interface

2020-06-01T08:26:11+00:00

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.

x86/kvm/hyper-v: Explicitly align hcall param for kvm_hyperv_exit

2020-06-01T08:26:09+00:00

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.
