2019-07-30cpuidle: add haltpoll governorMarcelo Tosatti1-0/+78
The cpuidle_haltpoll governor, in conjunction with the haltpoll cpuidle driver, allows guest vcpus to poll for a specified amount of time before halting. This provides the following benefits to host side polling: 1) The POLL flag is set while polling is performed, which allows a remote vCPU to avoid sending an IPI (and the associated cost of handling the IPI) when performing a wakeup. 2) The VM-exit cost can be avoided. The downside of guest side polling is that polling is performed even with other runnable tasks in the host. Results comparing halt_poll_ns and server/client application where a small packet is ping-ponged: host --> 31.33 halt_poll_ns=300000 / no guest busy spin --> 33.40 (93.8%) halt_poll_ns=0 / guest_halt_poll_ns=300000 --> 32.73 (95.7%) For the SAP HANA benchmarks (where idle_spin is a parameter of the previous version of the patch, results should be the same): hpns == halt_poll_ns idle_spin=0/ idle_spin=800/ idle_spin=0/ hpns=200000 hpns=0 hpns=800000 DeleteC06T03 (100 thread) 1.76 1.71 (-3%) 1.78 (+1%) InsertC16T02 (100 thread) 2.14 2.07 (-3%) 2.18 (+1.8%) DeleteC00T01 (1 thread) 1.34 1.28 (-4.5%) 1.29 (-3.7%) UpdateC00T03 (1 thread) 4.72 4.18 (-12%) 4.53 (-5%) Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt, as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation to match that.

2019-07-11KVM: x86: PMU Event FilterEric Hankland1-0/+26
Some events can provide a guest with information about other guests or the host (e.g. L3 cache stats); providing the capability to restrict access to a "safe" set of events would limit the potential for the PMU to be used in any side channel attacks. This change introduces a new VM ioctl that sets an event filter. If the guest attempts to program a counter for any blacklisted or non-whitelisted event, the kernel counter won't be created, so any RDPMC/RDMSR will show 0 instances of that event.

2019-06-19KVM: x86: Modify struct kvm_nested_state to have explicit fields for dataLiran Alon1-15/+31
Improve the KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE structs by detailing the format of VMX nested state data in a struct. In order to avoid changing the ioctl values of KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE, there is a need to preserve sizeof(struct kvm_nested_state). This is done by defining the data struct as "data.vmx[0]". It was the most elegant way I found to preserve struct size while still keeping struct readable and easy to maintain. It does have a misfortunate side-effect that now it has to be accessed as "data.vmx[0]" rather than just "data.vmx". Because we are already modifying these structs, I also modified the following: * Define the "format" field values as macros. * Rename vmcs_pa to vmcs12_pa for better readability.

2019-04-30KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Add passthrough supportCédric Le Goater1-0/+19
The KVM XICS-over-XIVE device and the proposed KVM XIVE native device implement an IRQ space for the guest using the generic IPI interrupts of the XIVE IC controller. These interrupts are allocated at the OPAL level and "mapped" into the guest IRQ number space in the range 0-0x1FFF. Interrupt management is performed in the XIVE way: using loads and stores on the addresses of the XIVE IPI interrupt ESB pages. Both KVM devices share the same internal structure caching information on the interrupts, among which the xive_irq_data struct containing the addresses of the IPI ESB pages and an extra one in case of pass-through. The later contains the addresses of the ESB pages of the underlying HW controller interrupts, PHB4 in all cases for now. A guest, when running in the XICS legacy interrupt mode, lets the KVM XICS-over-XIVE device "handle" interrupt management, that is to perform the loads and stores on the addresses of the ESB pages of the guest interrupts. However, when running in XIVE native exploitation mode, the KVM XIVE native device exposes the interrupt ESB pages to the guest and lets the guest perform directly the loads and stores. The VMA exposing the ESB pages make use of a custom VM fault handler which role is to populate the VMA with appropriate pages. When a fault occurs, the guest IRQ number is deduced from the offset, and the ESB pages of associated XIVE IPI interrupt are inserted in the VMA (using the internal structure caching information on the interrupts). Supporting device passthrough in the guest running in XIVE native exploitation mode adds some extra refinements because the ESB pages of a different HW controller (PHB4) need to be exposed to the guest along with the initial IPI ESB pages of the XIVE IC controller. But the overall mechanic is the same. When the device HW irqs are mapped into or unmapped from the guest IRQ number space, the passthru_irq helpers, kvmppc_xive_set_mapped() and kvmppc_xive_clr_mapped(), are called to record or clear the passthrough interrupt information and to perform the switch. The approach taken by this patch is to clear the ESB pages of the guest IRQ number being mapped and let the VM fault handler repopulate. The handler will insert the ESB page corresponding to the HW interrupt of the device being passed-through or the initial IPI ESB page if the device is being removed.

The most important are : - Interrupt Pending Buffer (IPB) - Current Processor Priority (CPPR) - Notification Source Register (NSR) They are exposed to software in four different pages each proposing a view with a different privilege. The first page is for the physical thread context and the second for the hypervisor. Only the third (operating system) and the fourth (user level) are exposed the guest. A custom VM fault handler will populate the VMA with the appropriate pages, which should only be the OS page for now.

These registers are cached under the 'xive_saved_state.w01' field of the VCPU when the VPCU context is pulled from the HW thread.

When migration of a VM is initiated, a first copy of the RAM is transferred to the destination before the VM is stopped, but there is no guarantee that the EQ pages in which the event notifications are queued have not been modified. To make sure migration will capture a consistent memory state, the XIVE device should perform a XIVE quiesce sequence to stop the flow of event notifications and stabilize the EQs. This is the purpose of the KVM_DEV_XIVE_EQ_SYNC control which will also marks the EQ pages dirty to force their transfer.

This control is to be used by the H_INT_RESET hcall from QEMU. Its purpose is to clear all configuration of the sources and EQs. This is necessary in case of a kexec (for a kdump kernel for instance) to make sure that no remaining configuration is left from the previous boot setup so that the new kernel can start safely from a clean state. The queue 7 is ignored when the XIVE device is configured to run in single escalation mode. Prio 7 is used by escalations. The XIVE VP is kept enabled as the vCPU is still active and connected to the XIVE device.

2019-04-30KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Add controls for the EQ configurationCédric Le Goater1-0/+34
These controls will be used by the H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG and H_INT_GET_QUEUE_CONFIG hcalls from QEMU to configure the underlying Event Queue in the XIVE IC. They will also be used to restore the configuration of the XIVE EQs and to capture the internal run-time state of the EQs. Both 'get' and 'set' rely on an OPAL call to access the EQ toggle bit and EQ index which are updated by the XIVE IC when event notifications are enqueued in the EQ. The value of the guest physical address of the event queue is saved in the XIVE internal xive_q structure for later use. That is when migration needs to mark the EQ pages dirty to capture a consistent memory state of the VM. To be noted that H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG does not require the extra OPAL call setting the EQ toggle bit and EQ index to configure the EQ, but restoring the EQ state will.

This control will be used by the H_INT_SET_SOURCE_CONFIG hcall from QEMU to configure the target of a source and also to restore the configuration of a source when migrating the VM. The XIVE source interrupt structure is extended with the value of the Effective Interrupt Source Number. The EISN is the interrupt number pushed in the event queue that the guest OS will use to dispatch events internally. Caching the EISN value in KVM eases the test when checking if a reconfiguration is indeed needed.

2019-04-30KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: add a control to initialize a sourceCédric Le Goater1-0/+15
The XIVE KVM device maintains a list of interrupt sources for the VM which are allocated in the pool of generic interrupts (IPIs) of the main XIVE IC controller. These are used for the CPU IPIs as well as for virtual device interrupts. The IRQ number space is defined by QEMU. The XIVE device reuses the source structures of the XICS-on-XIVE device for the source blocks (2-level tree) and for the source interrupts. Under XIVE native, the source interrupt caches mostly configuration information and is less used than under the XICS-on-XIVE device in which hcalls are still necessary at run-time. When a source is initialized in KVM, an IPI interrupt source is simply allocated at the OPAL level and then MASKED. KVM only needs to know about its type: LSI or MSI.

The user interface exposes a new capability KVM_CAP_PPC_IRQ_XIVE to let QEMU connect the vCPU presenters to the XIVE KVM device if required. The capability is not advertised for now as the full support for the XIVE native exploitation mode is not yet available. When this is case, the capability will be advertised on PowerNV Hypervisors only. Nested guests (pseries KVM Hypervisor) are not supported.

This patch advertises the capability of two cpu feature called address pointer authentication and generic pointer authentication. These capabilities depend upon system support for pointer authentication and VHE mode. The current arm64 KVM partially implements pointer authentication and support of address/generic authentication are tied together. However, separate ABI requirements for both of them is added so that any future isolated implementation will not require any ABI changes.

The current error code documentation for KVM_GET_ONE_REG and KVM_SET_ONE_REG could be read as implying that all architectures implement these error codes, or that KVM guarantees which error code is returned in a particular situation. Because this is not really the case, this patch waters down the documentation explicitly to remove such guarantees. EPERM is marked as arm64-specific, since for now arm64 really is the only architecture that yields this error code for the finalization-required case. Keeping this as a distinct error code is useful however for debugging due to the statefulness of the API in this instance. No functional change.

Userspace is only supposed to use KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE when there is some vcpu feature that can actually be finalized. This means that documenting KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE as available or not depending on the capabilities present is not helpful. This patch amends the documentation to describe availability in terms of which capability is required for each finalizable feature instead.

2019-04-18KVM: arm64/sve: Simplify KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS array sizingDave Martin1-4/+6
A complicated DIV_ROUND_UP() expression is currently written out explicitly in multiple places in order to specify the size of the bitmap exchanged with userspace to represent the value of the KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS pseudo-register. Userspace currently has no direct way to work this out either: for documentation purposes, the size is just quoted as 8 u64s. To make this more intuitive, this patch replaces these with a single define, which is also exported to userspace as KVM_ARM64_SVE_VLS_WORDS. Since the number of words in a bitmap is just the index of the last word used + 1, this patch expresses the bound that way instead. This should make it clearer what is being expressed. For userspace convenience, the minimum and maximum possible vector lengths relevant to the KVM ABI are exposed to UAPI as KVM_ARM64_SVE_VQ_MIN, KVM_ARM64_SVE_VQ_MAX. Since the only direct use for these at present is manipulation of KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS, no corresponding _VL_ macros are defined. They could be added later if a need arises. Since use of DIV_ROUND_UP() was the only reason for including <linux/kernel.h> in guest.c, this patch also removes that #include.
