There is unexpected warning on KVM_CAP_VM_DISABLE_NX_HUGE_PAGES capability table, which cause the table to be rendered as paragraph text instead.

2022-07-14Documentation: kvm: clarify histogram unitsPaolo Bonzini1-4/+7
In the case of histogram statistics, the values are always sample counts; the unit instead applies to the bucket range. For example, halt_poll_success_hist is a nanosecond statistic because the buckets are for 0ns, 1ns, 2-3ns, 4-7ns etc. There isn't really any other sensible interpretation, but clarify this anyway in the Documentation.

2022-07-14kvm: stats: tell userspace which values are booleanPaolo Bonzini1-0/+6
Some of the statistics values exported by KVM are always only 0 or 1. It can be useful to export this fact to userspace so that it can track them specially (for example by polling the value every now and then to compute a % of time spent in a specific state). Therefore, add "boolean value" as a new "unit". While it is not exactly a unit, it walks and quacks like one. In particular, using the type would be wrong because boolean values could be instantaneous or peak values (e.g. "is the rmap allocated?") or even two-bucket histograms (e.g. "number of posted vs. non-posted interrupt injections").

Add a "UD" clause to KVM_X86_QUIRK_MWAIT_NEVER_FAULTS to make it clear that the quirk only controls the #UD behavior of MONITOR/MWAIT. KVM doesn't currently enforce fault checks when MONITOR/MWAIT are supported, but that could change in the future. SVM also has a virtualization hole in that it checks all faults before intercepts, and so "never faults" is already a lie when running on SVM.

2022-06-24KVM: x86/MMU: Allow NX huge pages to be disabled on a per-vm basisBen Gardon1-0/+16
In some cases, the NX hugepage mitigation for iTLB multihit is not needed for all guests on a host. Allow disabling the mitigation on a per-VM basis to avoid the performance hit of NX hugepages on trusted workloads. In order to disable NX hugepages on a VM, ensure that the userspace actor has permission to reboot the system. Since disabling NX hugepages would allow a guest to crash the system, it is similar to reboot permissions. Ideally, KVM would require userspace to prove it has access to KVM's nx_huge_pages module param, e.g. so that userspace can opt out without needing full reboot permissions. But getting access to the module param file info is difficult because it is buried in layers of sysfs and module glue. Requiring CAP_SYS_BOOT is sufficient for all known use cases.

2022-06-20KVM: x86: Add a quirk for KVM's "MONITOR/MWAIT are NOPs!" behaviorSean Christopherson1-0/+13
Add a quirk for KVM's behavior of emulating intercepted MONITOR/MWAIT instructions a NOPs regardless of whether or not they are supported in guest CPUID. KVM's current behavior was likely motiviated by a certain fruity operating system that expects MONITOR/MWAIT to be supported unconditionally and blindly executes MONITOR/MWAIT without first checking CPUID. And because KVM does NOT advertise MONITOR/MWAIT to userspace, that's effectively the default setup for any VMM that regurgitates KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to KVM_SET_CPUID2. Note, this quirk interacts with KVM_X86_QUIRK_MISC_ENABLE_NO_MWAIT. The behavior is actually desirable, as userspace VMMs that want to unconditionally hide MONITOR/MWAIT from the guest can leave the MISC_ENABLE quirk enabled.

2022-06-08KVM: VMX: Enable Notify VM exitTao Xu1-0/+49
There are cases that malicious virtual machines can cause CPU stuck (due to event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window means no event (NMI, SMI and IRQ) can be delivered. It leads the CPU to be unavailable to host or other VMs. VMM can enable notify VM exit that a VM exit generated if no event window occurs in VM non-root mode for a specified amount of time (notify window). Feature enabling: - The new vmcs field SECONDARY_EXEC_NOTIFY_VM_EXITING is introduced to enable this feature. VMM can set NOTIFY_WINDOW vmcs field to adjust the expected notify window. - Add a new KVM capability KVM_CAP_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT so that user space can query and enable this feature in per-VM scope. The argument is a 64bit value: bits 63:32 are used for notify window, and bits 31:0 are for flags. Current supported flags: - KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED: enable the feature with the notify window provided. - KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_USER: exit to userspace once the exits happen. - It's safe to even set notify window to zero since an internal hardware threshold is added to vmcs.notify_window. VM exit handling: - Introduce a vcpu state notify_window_exits to records the count of notify VM exits and expose it through the debugfs. - Notify VM exit can happen incident to delivery of a vector event. Allow it in KVM. - Exit to userspace unconditionally for handling when VM_CONTEXT_INVALID bit is set. Nested handling - Nested notify VM exits are not supported yet. Keep the same notify window control in vmcs02 as vmcs01, so that L1 can't escape the restriction of notify VM exits through launching L2 VM. Notify VM exit is defined in latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference, chapter 9.2.

If user space uses a memop to emulate an instruction and that memop fails, the execution of the instruction ends. Instruction execution can end in different ways, one of which is suppression, which requires that the instruction execute like a no-op. A writing memop that spans multiple pages and fails due to key protection may have modified guest memory, as a result, the likely correct ending is termination. Therefore, do not indicate a suppressing instruction ending in this case.

2022-05-04KVM: arm64: Implement PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPENDOliver Upton1-0/+39
ARM DEN0022D.b 5.19 "SYSTEM_SUSPEND" describes a PSCI call that allows software to request that a system be placed in the deepest possible low-power state. Effectively, software can use this to suspend itself to RAM. Unfortunately, there really is no good way to implement a system-wide PSCI call in KVM. Any precondition checks done in the kernel will need to be repeated by userspace since there is no good way to protect a critical section that spans an exit to userspace. SYSTEM_RESET and SYSTEM_OFF are equally plagued by this issue, although no users have seemingly cared for the relatively long time these calls have been supported. The solution is to just make the whole implementation userspace's problem. Introduce a new system event, KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_SUSPEND, that indicates to userspace a calling vCPU has invoked PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND. Additionally, add a CAP to get buy-in from userspace for this new exit type. Only advertise the SYSTEM_SUSPEND PSCI call if userspace has opted in. If a vCPU calls SYSTEM_SUSPEND, punt straight to userspace. Provide explicit documentation of userspace's responsibilites for the exit and point to the PSCI specification to describe the actual PSCI call.

2022-04-29KVM: arm64: uapi: Add kvm_debug_exit_arch.hsr_highAlexandru Elisei1-0/+2
When userspace is debugging a VM, the kvm_debug_exit_arch part of the kvm_run struct contains arm64 specific debug information: the ESR_EL2 value, encoded in the field "hsr", and the address of the instruction that caused the exception, encoded in the field "far". Linux has moved to treating ESR_EL2 as a 64-bit register, but unfortunately kvm_debug_exit_arch.hsr cannot be changed because that would change the memory layout of the struct on big endian machines: Current layout: | Layout with "hsr" extended to 64 bits: | offset 0: ESR_EL2[31:0] (hsr) | offset 0: ESR_EL2[61:32] (hsr[61:32]) offset 4: padding | offset 4: ESR_EL2[31:0] (hsr[31:0]) offset 8: FAR_EL2[61:0] (far) | offset 8: FAR_EL2[61:0] (far) which breaks existing code. The padding is inserted by the compiler because the "far" field must be aligned to 8 bytes (each field must be naturally aligned - aapcs64 [1], page 18), and the struct itself must be aligned to 8 bytes (the struct must be aligned to the maximum alignment of its fields - aapcs64, page 18), which means that "hsr" must be aligned to 8 bytes as it is the first field in the struct. To avoid changing the struct size and layout for the existing fields, add a new field, "hsr_high", which replaces the existing padding. "hsr_high" will be used to hold the ESR_EL2[61:32] bits of the register. The memory layout, both on big and little endian machine, becomes: offset 0: ESR_EL2[31:0] (hsr) offset 4: ESR_EL2[61:32] (hsr_high) offset 8: FAR_EL2[61:0] (far) The padding that the compiler inserts for the current struct layout is unitialized. To prevent an updated userspace running on an old kernel mistaking the padding for a valid "hsr_high" value, add a new flag, KVM_DEBUG_ARCH_HSR_HIGH_VALID, to kvm_run->flags to let userspace know that "hsr_high" holds a valid ESR_EL2[61:32] value.

2022-04-29KVM: fix bad user ABI for KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENTPaolo Bonzini1-7/+17
When KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT was introduced, it included a flags member that at the time was unused. Unfortunately this extensibility mechanism has several issues: - x86 is not writing the member, so it would not be possible to use it on x86 except for new events - the member is not aligned to 64 bits, so the definition of the uAPI struct is incorrect for 32- on 64-bit userspace. This is a problem for RISC-V, which supports CONFIG_KVM_COMPAT, but fortunately usage of flags was only introduced in 5.18. Since padding has to be introduced, place a new field in there that tells if the flags field is valid. To allow further extensibility, in fact, change flags to an array of 16 values, and store how many of the values are valid. The availability of the new ndata field is tied to a system capability; all architectures are changed to fill in the field. To avoid breaking compilation of userspace that was using the flags field, provide a userspace-only union to overlap flags with data[0]. The new field is placed at the same offset for both 32- and 64-bit userspace.

At the end of the patch series adding this batch of event channel acceleration features, finally add the feature bit which advertises them and document it all. For SCHEDOP_poll we need to wake a polling vCPU when a given port is triggered, even when it's masked — and we want to implement that in the kernel, for efficiency. So we want the kernel to know that it has sole ownership of event channel delivery. Thus, we allow userspace to make the 'promise' by setting the corresponding feature bit in its KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG call. As we implement SCHEDOP_poll bypass later, we will do so only if that promise has been made by userspace.

2022-04-02KVM: x86: Allow userspace to opt out of hypercall patchingOliver Upton1-0/+9
KVM handles the VMCALL/VMMCALL instructions very strangely. Even though both of these instructions really should #UD when executed on the wrong vendor's hardware (i.e. VMCALL on SVM, VMMCALL on VMX), KVM replaces the guest's instruction with the appropriate instruction for the vendor. Nonetheless, older guest kernels without commit c1118b3602c2 ("x86: kvm: use alternatives for VMCALL vs. VMMCALL if kernel text is read-only") do not patch in the appropriate instruction using alternatives, likely motivating KVM's intervention. Add a quirk allowing userspace to opt out of hypercall patching. If the quirk is disabled, KVM synthesizes a #UD in the guest.
