2015-02-09KVM: s390: add cpu model supportMichael Mueller1-0/+45
This patch enables cpu model support in kvm/s390 via the vm attribute interface. During KVM initialization, the host properties cpuid, IBC value and the facility list are stored in the architecture specific cpu model structure. During vcpu setup, these properties are taken to initialize the related SIE state. This mechanism allows to adjust the properties from user space and thus to implement different selectable cpu models. This patch uses the IBC functionality to block instructions that have not been implemented at the requested CPU type and GA level compared to the full host capability. Userspace has to initialize the cpu model before vcpu creation. A cpu model change of running vcpus is not possible.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-next KVM: s390: fixes and features for kvm/next (3.20) 1. Generic - sparse warning (make function static) - optimize locking - bugfixes for interrupt injection - fix MVPG addressing modes 2. hrtimer/wakeup fun A recent change can cause KVM hangs if adjtime is used in the host. The hrtimer might wake up too early or too late. Too early is fatal as vcpu_block will see that the wakeup condition is not met and sleep again. This CPU might never wake up again. This series addresses this problem. adjclock slowing down the host clock will result in too late wakeups. This will require more work. In addition to that we also change the hrtimer from REALTIME to MONOTONIC to avoid similar problems with timedatectl set-time. 3. sigp rework We will move all "slow" sigps to QEMU (protected with a capability that can be enabled) to avoid several races between concurrent SIGP orders. 4. Optimize the shadow page table Provide an interface to announce the maximum guest size. The kernel will use that to make the pagetable 2,3,4 (or theoretically) 5 levels. 5. Provide an interface to set the guest TOD We now use two vm attributes instead of two oneregs, as oneregs are vcpu ioctl and we don't want to call them from other threads. 6. Protected key functions The real HMC allows to enable/disable protected key CPACF functions. Lets provide an implementation + an interface for QEMU to activate this the protected key instructions.
2015-01-23KVM: s390: forward most SIGP orders to user spaceDavid Hildenbrand1-0/+20
Most SIGP orders are handled partially in kernel and partially in user space. In order to: - Get a correct SIGP SET PREFIX handler that informs user space - Avoid race conditions between concurrently executed SIGP orders - Serialize SIGP orders per VCPU We need to handle all "slow" SIGP orders in user space. The remaining ones to be handled completely in kernel are: - SENSE - SENSE RUNNING - EXTERNAL CALL - EMERGENCY SIGNAL - CONDITIONAL EMERGENCY SIGNAL According to the PoP, they have to be fast. They can be executed without conflicting to the actions of other pending/concurrently executing orders (e.g. STOP vs. START). This patch introduces a new capability that will - when enabled - forward all but the mentioned SIGP orders to user space. The instruction counters in the kernel are still updated.

In order to get rid of the action_flags and to properly migrate pending SIGP STOP irqs triggered e.g. by SIGP STOP AND STORE STATUS, we need to remember whether to store the status when stopping. For this reason, a new parameter (flags) for the SIGP STOP irq is introduced. These flags further define details of the requested STOP and can be easily migrated.

2015-01-23KVM: s390: Allow userspace to limit guest memory sizeDominik Dingel1-0/+14
With commit c6c956b80bdf ("KVM: s390/mm: support gmap page tables with less than 5 levels") we are able to define a limit for the guest memory size. As we round up the guest size in respect to the levels of page tables we get to guest limits of: 2048 MB, 4096 GB, 8192 TB and 16384 PB. We currently limit the guest size to 16 TB, which means we end up creating a page table structure supporting guest sizes up to 8192 TB. This patch introduces an interface that allows userspace to tune this limit. This may bring performance improvements for small guests.

Also we provide the necessary support for guests setting the memory addresses for the virtual distributor and redistributors. This requires some userland code to make use of that feature and explicitly ask for a virtual GICv3.

2015-01-11KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: add init entry to VGIC KVM deviceEric Auger1-0/+11
Since the advent of VGIC dynamic initialization, this latter is initialized quite late on the first vcpu run or "on-demand", when injecting an IRQ or when the guest sets its registers. This initialization could be initiated explicitly much earlier by the users-space, as soon as it has provided the requested dimensioning parameters. This patch adds a new entry to the VGIC KVM device that allows the user to manually request the VGIC init: - a new KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL group is introduced. - Its first attribute is KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT The rationale behind introducing a group is to be able to add other controls later on, if needed.

It is not clear that this ioctl can be called multiple times for a given vcpu. Userspace already does this, so clarify the ABI. Also specify that userspace is expected to always make secondary and subsequent calls to the ioctl with the same parameters for the VCPU as the initial call (which userspace also already does). Add code to check that userspace doesn't violate that ABI in the future, and move the kvm_vcpu_set_target() function which is currently duplicated between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions in guest.c to a common static function in arm.c, shared between both architectures.

No kernel ever reported KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSIX, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSI, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT, KVM_CAP_DEVICE_DEASSIGNMENT. This makes the documentation wrong, and no application ever written to use these capabilities has a chance to work correctly. The only way to detect support is to try, and test errno for ENOTTY. That's unfortunate, but we can't fix the past. Document the actual semantics, and drop the definitions from the exported header to make it easier for application developers to note and fix the bug.

2014-09-03kvm: fix potentially corrupt mmio cacheDavid Matlack1-0/+14
vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit. If we increment the memslot generation number again after synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit. And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference of the current memslots during each exit. We can prevent the following case: vcpu (CPU 0) | thread (CPU 1) --------------------------------------------+-------------------------- 1 vm exit | 2 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | 3 decide to cache something based on | old memslots | 4 | change memslots | (increments generation) 5 | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu); 6 retrieve generation # from new memslots | 7 tag cache with new memslot generation | 8 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | ... | <action based on cache occurs even | though the caching decision was based | on the old memslots> | ... | <action *continues* to occur until next | memslot generation change, which may | be never> | | By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers, we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon after (8). Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to install_new_memslots. It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately, instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited, which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted right after synchronize_srcu() returns. To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number out of an SPTE. This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited. Using the low bit this way is somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.

2014-07-28KVM: PPC: Book3S: Fix LPCR one_reg interfaceAlexey Kardashevskiy1-1/+2
Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the one_reg interface. This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the upper 32 bits. The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which reduces performance in the guest. We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID, since that would break existing userspace binaries. Instead we define a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit. Userspace can still use the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL). If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD as well.

2014-07-28KVM: PPC: Book3S: Controls for in-kernel sPAPR hypercall handlingPaul Mackerras1-2/+39
This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get handled in the kernel. Each hcall can be individually enabled or disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS. The exception for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers. Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM. The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to userspace) and 1 means enable. Enabling or disabling in-kernel handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM. The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor on PowerPC is new, added by this commit. The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM capability advertises that this ability exists. When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for in-kernel handling. The set that is enabled is the set that have an in-kernel implementation at this point. Any new hcall implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the default set without a good reason. No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall implementations; the one setting controls them both.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-next This series enables the "KVM_(S|G)ET_MP_STATE" ioctls on s390 to make the cpu state settable by user space. This is necessary to avoid races in s390 SIGP/reset handling which happen because some SIGPs are handled in QEMU, while others are handled in the kernel. Together with the busy conditions as return value of SIGP races happen especially in areas like starting and stopping of CPUs. (For example, there is a program 'cpuplugd', that runs on several s390 distros which does automatic onlining and offlining on cpus.) As soon as the MPSTATE interface is used, user space takes complete control of the cpu states. Otherwise the kernel will use the old way. Therefore, the new kernel continues to work fine with old QEMUs.

This patch - adds s390 specific MP states to linux headers and documents them - implements the KVM_{SET,GET}_MP_STATE ioctls - enables KVM_CAP_MP_STATE - allows user space to control the VCPU state on s390. If user space sets the VCPU state using the ioctl KVM_SET_MP_STATE, we can disable manual changing of the VCPU state and trust user space to do the right thing.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "At over 200 commits, covering almost all supported architectures, this was a pretty active cycle for KVM. Changes include: - a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration, GDB support and more - ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by Catalin) - initial POWER8 and little-endian host support - support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets - pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace interface and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware - for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17. Still, we have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have always worked). And some optimizations too. The only missing architecture here is ia64. It's not a coincidence that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (203 commits) KVM: add missing cleanup_srcu_struct KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Rework SLB switching code KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Use SLB entry 0 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix machine check delivery to guest KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Work around POWER8 performance monitor bugs KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make sure we don't miss dirty pages KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix dirty map for hugepages KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Put huge-page HPTEs in rmap chain for base address KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix check for running inside guest in global_invalidates() KVM: PPC: Book3S: Move KVM_REG_PPC_WORT to an unused register number KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add ONE_REG register names that were missed KVM: PPC: Add CAP to indicate hcall fixes KVM: PPC: MPIC: Reset IRQ source private members KVM: PPC: Graciously fail broken LE hypercalls PPC: ePAPR: Fix hypercall on LE guest KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: Remove open coded make_dsisr in alignment handler KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: Always use the saved DAR value PPC: KVM: Make NX bit available with magic page KVM: PPC: Disable NX for old magic page using guests KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: HV: Add mixed page-size support for guest ...

Old guests try to use the magic page, but map their trampoline code inside of an NX region. Since we can't fix those old kernels, try to detect whether the guest is sane or not. If not, just disable NX functionality in KVM so that old guests at least work at all. For newer guests, add a bit that we can set to keep NX functionality available.
