The API documentation states that general error codes are not detailed, but
errors with specific meanings are. On arm64, KVM_RUN can return error
numbers with a different meaning than what is described by POSIX or the C99
standard (as taken from man 3 errno).
Absent from the newly documented error codes is ERANGE which can be
returned when making a change to the EL2 stage 1 tables if the address is
larger than the largest supported input address. Assuming no bugs in the
implementation, that is not possible because the input addresses which are
mapped are the result of applying the macro kern_hyp_va() on kernel virtual
addresses.

There's no good reason to use both the dirty bitmap logging and the
new dirty ring buffer to track dirty bits. We should be able to even
support both of them at the same time, but it could complicate things
which could actually help little. Let's simply make it the rule
before we enable dirty ring on any arch, that we don't allow these two
interfaces to be used together.
The big world switch would be KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING capability
enablement. That's where we'll switch from the default dirty logging
way to the dirty ring way. As long as kvm->dirty_ring_size is setup
correctly, we'll once and for all switch to the dirty ring buffer mode
for the current virtual machine.

This patch is heavily based on previous work from Lei Cao
<lei.cao@stratus.com> and Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>. [1]
KVM currently uses large bitmaps to track dirty memory. These bitmaps
are copied to userspace when userspace queries KVM for its dirty page
information. The use of bitmaps is mostly sufficient for live
migration, as large parts of memory are be dirtied from one log-dirty
pass to another. However, in a checkpointing system, the number of
dirty pages is small and in fact it is often bounded---the VM is
paused when it has dirtied a pre-defined number of pages. Traversing a
large, sparsely populated bitmap to find set bits is time-consuming,
as is copying the bitmap to user-space.
A similar issue will be there for live migration when the guest memory
is huge while the page dirty procedure is trivial. In that case for
each dirty sync we need to pull the whole dirty bitmap to userspace
and analyse every bit even if it's mostly zeros.
The preferred data structure for above scenarios is a dense list of
guest frame numbers (GFN). This patch series stores the dirty list in
kernel memory that can be memory mapped into userspace to allow speedy
harvesting.
This patch enables dirty ring for X86 only. However it should be
easily extended to other archs as well.

KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID is a vCPU ioctl but its output is now
independent from vCPU and in some cases VMMs may want to use it as a system
ioctl instead. In particular, QEMU doesn CPU feature expansion before any
vCPU gets created so KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID can't be used.
Convert KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID to 'dual' system/vCPU ioctl with the
same meaning.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"For x86, there is a new alternative and (in the future) more scalable
implementation of extended page tables that does not need a reverse
map from guest physical addresses to host physical addresses.
For now it is disabled by default because it is still lacking a few of
the existing MMU's bells and whistles. However it is a very solid
piece of work and it is already available for people to hammer on it.
Other updates:
ARM:
- New page table code for both hypervisor and guest stage-2
- Introduction of a new EL2-private host context
- Allow EL2 to have its own private per-CPU variables
- Support of PMU event filtering
- Complete rework of the Spectre mitigation
PPC:
- Fix for running nested guests with in-kernel IRQ chip
- Fix race condition causing occasional host hard lockup
- Minor cleanups and bugfixes
x86:
- allow trapping unknown MSRs to userspace
- allow userspace to force #GP on specific MSRs
- INVPCID support on AMD
- nested AMD cleanup, on demand allocation of nested SVM state
- hide PV MSRs and hypercalls for features not enabled in CPUID
- new test for MSR_IA32_TSC writes from host and guest
- cleanups: MMU, CPUID, shared MSRs

KVM unconditionally provides PV features to the guest, regardless of the
configured CPUID. An unwitting guest that doesn't check
KVM_CPUID_FEATURES before use could access paravirt features that
userspace did not intend to provide. Fix this by checking the guest's
CPUID before performing any paravirtual operations.
Introduce a capability, KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID, to gate the
aforementioned enforcement. Migrating a VM from a host w/o this patch to
a host with this patch could silently change the ABI exposed to the
guest, warranting that we default to the old behavior and opt-in for
the new one.

Allowing userspace to intercept reads to x2APIC MSRs when APICV is
fully enabled for the guest simply can't work. But more in general,
the LAPIC could be set to in-kernel after the MSR filter is setup
and allowing accesses by userspace would be very confusing.
We could in principle allow userspace to intercept reads and writes to TPR,
and writes to EOI and SELF_IPI, but while that could be made it work, it
would still be silly.

Rework the resetting of the MSR bitmap for x2APIC MSRs to ignore userspace
filtering. Allowing userspace to intercept reads to x2APIC MSRs when
APICV is fully enabled for the guest simply can't work; the LAPIC and thus
virtual APIC is in-kernel and cannot be directly accessed by userspace.
To keep things simple we will in fact forbid intercepting x2APIC MSRs
altogether, independent of the default_allow setting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

to 0 for the case of failure as a simple fix.
Besides, update the doc to explicitly state that if IOCTL SET_CPUID*
fail KVM gives no gurantee that previous valid CPUID configuration is
kept.

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.

The syndbg interface is using MSRs to emulate a way to send/recv packets

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.

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.

KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL is a per-VM capability that lets userspace
control the halt-polling time, allowing halt-polling to be tuned or
disabled on particular VMs.
With dynamic halt-polling, a VM's VCPUs can poll from anywhere from
[0, halt_poll_ns] on each halt. KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL sets the
upper limit on the poll time.

KVM: s390: Fix for error codes
- return the proper error to userspace when a signal interrupts the
KSM unsharing operation
|
|
If a signal is pending we might return -ENOMEM instead of -EINTR.
We should propagate the proper error during KSM unsharing.
unmerge_ksm_pages returns -ERESTARTSYS on signal_pending. This gets
translated by entry.S to -EINTR. It is important to get this error
code so that userspace can retry.
To make this clearer we also add -EINTR to the documentation of the
PV_ENABLE call, which calls unmerge_ksm_pages.

At present, on Power systems with Protected Execution Facility
hardware and an ultravisor, a KVM guest can transition to being a
secure guest at will. Userspace (QEMU) has no way of knowing
whether a host system is capable of running secure guests. This
will present a problem in future when the ultravisor is capable of
migrating secure guests from one host to another, because
virtualization management software will have no way to ensure that
secure guests only run in domains where all of the hosts can
support secure guests.
This adds a VM capability which has two functions: (a) userspace
can query it to find out whether the host can support secure guests,
and (b) userspace can enable it for a guest, which allows that
guest to become a secure guest. If userspace does not enable it,
KVM will return an error when the ultravisor does the hypercall
that indicates that the guest is starting to transition to a
secure guest. The ultravisor will then abort the transition and
the guest will terminate.

KVM: s390: Features and Enhancements for 5.7 part1
1. Allow to disable gisa
2. protected virtual machines
Protected VMs (PVM) are KVM VMs, where KVM can't access the VM's
state like guest memory and guest registers anymore. Instead the
PVMs are mostly managed by a new entity called Ultravisor (UV),
which provides an API, so KVM and the PV can request management
actions.
PVMs are encrypted at rest and protected from hypervisor access
while running. They switch from a normal operation into protected
mode, so we can still use the standard boot process to load a
encrypted blob and then move it into protected mode.
Rebooting is only possible by passing through the unprotected/normal
mode and switching to protected again.
One mm related patch will go via Andrews mm tree ( mm/gup/writeback:
add callbacks for inaccessible pages)

Remove the code for handling stateful CPUID 0x2 and mark the associated
flags as deprecated. WARN if host CPUID 0x2.0.AL > 1, i.e. if by some
miracle a host with stateful CPUID 0x2 is encountered.
No known CPU exists that supports hardware accelerated virtualization
_and_ a stateful CPUID 0x2. Barring an extremely contrived nested
virtualization scenario, stateful CPUID support is dead code.

It could take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time when
enabling dirty log for the first time. The main cost is to clear
all the D-bits of last level SPTEs. This situation can benefit from
manual dirty log protect as well, which can reduce the mmu_lock
time taken. The sequence is like this:
1. Initialize all the bits of the dirty bitmap to 1 when enabling
dirty log for the first time
2. Only write protect the huge pages
3. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns the dirty bitmap info
4. KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG will clear D-bit for each of the leaf level
SPTEs gradually in small chunks
Under the Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6152 CPU @ 2.10GHz environment,
I did some tests with a 128G windows VM and counted the time taken
of memory_global_dirty_log_start, here is the numbers:
