2020-03-27s390/gmap: return proper error code on ksm unsharingChristian Borntraeger1-0/+6
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.

2020-03-26KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add a capability for enabling secure guestsPaul Mackerras1-0/+17
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.

Userspace has no way to query if SEV has been disabled with the sev module parameter of kvm-amd.ko. Actually it has one, but it is a hack: do ioctl(KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP, NULL) and check if it returns EFAULT. Make it a little nicer by returning zero for SEV enabled and NULL argument, and while at it document the ioctl arguments.

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)

2020-03-16KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in small chunksJay Zhou1-3/+15
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: VM Size Before After optimization 128G 460ms 10ms Signed-off-by: Jay Zhou <jianjay.zhou@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2020-02-27KVM: s390/interrupt: do not pin adapter interrupt pagesUlrich Weigand1-9/+2
The adapter interrupt page containing the indicator bits is currently pinned. That means that a guest with many devices can pin a lot of memory pages in the host. This also complicates the reference tracking which is needed for memory management handling of protected virtual machines. It might also have some strange side effects for madvise MADV_DONTNEED and other things. We can simply try to get the userspace page set the bits and free the page. By storing the userspace address in the irq routing entry instead of the guest address we can actually avoid many lookups and list walks so that this variant is very likely not slower. If userspace messes around with the memory slots the worst thing that can happen is that we write to some other memory within that process. As we get the the page with FOLL_WRITE this can also not be used to write to shared read-only pages.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc into HEAD KVM: Add support for secure guests under the Protected Execution Framework (PEF) Ultravisor on POWER. This enables secure memory to be represented as device memory, which provides a way for the host to keep track of which pages of a secure guest have been moved into secure memory managed by the ultravisor and are no longer accessible by the host, and manage movement of pages between secure and normal memory.
