Currently disabling dirty logging with the TDP MMU is extremely slow.
On a 96 vCPU / 96G VM backed with gigabyte pages, it takes ~200 seconds
to disable dirty logging with the TDP MMU, as opposed to ~4 seconds with
the shadow MMU.
When disabling dirty logging, zap non-leaf parent entries to allow
replacement with huge pages instead of recursing and zapping all of the
child, leaf entries. This reduces the number of TLB flushes required.
and reduces the disable dirty log time with the TDP MMU to ~3 seconds.
Opportunistically add a WARN() to catch GFNs that are mapped at a
higher level than their max level.

Expand and clean up the page fault stats. The current stats are at best
incomplete, and at worst misleading. Differentiate between faults that
are actually fixed vs those that result in an MMIO SPTE being created,
track faults that are spurious, faults that trigger emulation, faults
that that are fixed in the fast path, and last but not least, track the
number of faults that are taken.
Note, the number of faults that require emulation for write-protected
shadow pages can roughly be calculated by subtracting the number of MMIO
SPTEs created from the overall number of faults that trigger emulation.

Check for A/D bits being disabled instead of the access tracking mask
being non-zero when deciding whether or not to attempt to fix a page
fault vian the fast path. Originally, the access tracking mask was
non-zero if and only if A/D bits were disabled by _KVM_ (including not
being supported by hardware), but that hasn't been true since nVMX was
fixed to honor EPTP12's A/D enabling, i.e. since KVM allowed L1 to cause
KVM to not use A/D bits while running L2 despite KVM using them while
running L1.
In other words, don't attempt the fast path just because EPT is enabled.
Note, attempting the fast path for all !PRESENT faults can "fix" a very,
_VERY_ tiny percentage of faults out of mmu_lock by detecting that the
fault is spurious, i.e. has been fixed by a different vCPU, but again the
odds of that happening are vanishingly small. E.g. booting an 8-vCPU VM
gets less than 10 successes out of 30k+ faults, and that's likely one of
the more favorable scenarios. Disabling dirty logging can likely lead to
a rash of collisions between vCPUs for some workloads that operate on a
common set of pages, but penalizing _all_ !PRESENT faults for that one
case is unlikely to be a net positive, not to mention that that problem
is best solved by not zapping in the first place.
The number of spurious faults does scale with the number of vCPUs, e.g. a
255-vCPU VM using TDP "jumps" to ~60 spurious faults detected in the fast
path (again out of 30k), but that's all of 0.2% of faults. Using legacy
shadow paging does get more spurious faults, and a few more detected out
of mmu_lock, but the percentage goes _down_ to 0.08% (and that's ignoring
faults that are reflected into the guest), i.e. the extra detections are
purely due to the sheer number of faults observed.
On the other hand, getting a "negative" in the fast path takes in the
neighborhood of 150-250 cycles. So while it is tempting to keep/extend
the current behavior, such a change needs to come with hard numbers
showing that it's actually a win in the grand scheme, or any scheme for
that matter.

We are dropping A/D bits (and W bits) in the TDP MMU. Even if mmu_lock
is held for write, as volatile SPTEs can be written by other tasks/vCPUs
outside of mmu_lock.
Attempting to prove that bug exposed another notable goof, which has been
lurking for a decade, give or take: KVM treats _all_ MMU-writable SPTEs
as volatile, even though KVM never clears WRITABLE outside of MMU lock.
As a result, the legacy MMU (and the TDP MMU if not fixed) uses XCHG to
update writable SPTEs.
The fix does not seem to have an easily-measurable affect on performance;
page faults are so slow that wasting even a few hundred cycles is dwarfed
by the base cost.
|

Use an atomic XCHG to write TDP MMU SPTEs that have volatile bits, even
if mmu_lock is held for write, as volatile SPTEs can be written by other
tasks/vCPUs outside of mmu_lock. If a vCPU uses the to-be-modified SPTE
to write a page, the CPU can cache the translation as WRITABLE in the TLB
despite it being seen by KVM as !WRITABLE, and/or KVM can clobber the
Accessed/Dirty bits and not properly tag the backing page.
Exempt non-leaf SPTEs from atomic updates as KVM itself doesn't modify
non-leaf SPTEs without holding mmu_lock, they do not have Dirty bits, and
KVM doesn't consume the Accessed bit of non-leaf SPTEs.
Dropping the Dirty and/or Writable bits is most problematic for dirty
logging, as doing so can result in a missed TLB flush and eventually a
missed dirty page. In the unlikely event that the only dirty page(s) is
a clobbered SPTE, clear_dirty_gfn_range() will see the SPTE as not dirty
(based on the Dirty or Writable bit depending on the method) and so not
update the SPTE and ultimately not flush. If the SPTE is cached in the
TLB as writable before it is clobbered, the guest can continue writing
the associated page without ever taking a write-protect fault.
For most (all?) file back memory, dropping the Dirty bit is a non-issue.
The primary MMU write-protects its PTEs on writeback, i.e. KVM's dirty
bit is effectively ignored because the primary MMU will mark that page
dirty when the write-protection is lifted, e.g. when KVM faults the page
back in for write.
The Accessed bit is a complete non-issue. Aside from being unused for
non-leaf SPTEs, KVM doesn't do a TLB flush when aging SPTEs, i.e. the
Accessed bit may be dropped anyways.
Lastly, the Writable bit is also problematic as an extension of the Dirty
bit, as KVM (correctly) treats the Dirty bit as volatile iff the SPTE is
!DIRTY && WRITABLE. If KVM fixes an MMU-writable, but !WRITABLE, SPTE
out of mmu_lock, then it can allow the CPU to set the Dirty bit despite
the SPTE being !WRITABLE when it is checked by KVM. But that all depends
on the Dirty bit being problematic in the first place.

root_role.level is always the same value as shadow_level:
- it's kvm_mmu_get_tdp_level(vcpu) when going through init_kvm_tdp_mmu
- it's the level argument when going through kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu
- it's assigned directly from new_role.base.level when going
through shadow_mmu_init_context
Remove the duplication and get the level directly from the role.

mmu_role represents the role of the root of the page tables.
It does not need any extended bits, as those govern only KVM's
page table walking; the is_* functions used for page table
walking always use the CPU role.
ext.valid is not present anymore in the MMU role, but an
all-zero MMU role is impossible because the level field is
never zero in the MMU role. So just zap the whole mmu_role
in order to force invalidation after CPUID is updated.
While making this change, which requires touching almost every
occurrence of "mmu_role", rename it to "root_role".

Disallow memslots and MMIO SPTEs whose gpa range would exceed the host's
MAXPHYADDR, i.e. don't create SPTEs for gfns that exceed host.MAXPHYADDR.
The TDP MMU bounds its zapping based on host.MAXPHYADDR, and so if the
guest, possibly with help from userspace, manages to coerce KVM into
creating a SPTE for an "impossible" gfn, KVM will leak the associated
shadow pages (page tables):

On bare metal, encountering an impossible gpa in the page fault path is
well and truly impossible, barring CPU bugs, as the CPU will signal #PF
during the gva=>gpa translation (or a similar failure when stuffing a
physical address into e.g. the VMCS/VMCB). But if KVM is running as a VM
itself, the MAXPHYADDR enumerated to KVM may not be the actual MAXPHYADDR
of the underlying hardware, in which case the hardware will not fault on
the illegal-from-KVM's-perspective gpa.
Alternatively, KVM could continue allowing the dodgy behavior and simply
zap the max possible range. But, for hosts with MAXPHYADDR < 52, that's
a (minor) waste of cycles, and more importantly, KVM can't reasonably
support impossible memslots when running on bare metal (or with an
accurate MAXPHYADDR as a VM). Note, limiting the overhead by checking if
KVM is running as a guest is not a safe option as the host isn't required
to announce itself to the guest in any way, e.g. doesn't need to set the
HYPERVISOR CPUID bit.
A second alternative to disallowing the memslot behavior would be to
disallow creating a VM with guest.MAXPHYADDR > host.MAXPHYADDR. That
restriction is undesirable as there are legitimate use cases for doing
so, e.g. using the highest host.MAXPHYADDR out of a pool of heterogeneous
systems so that VMs can be migrated between hosts with different
MAXPHYADDRs without running afoul of the allow_smaller_maxphyaddr mess.
Note that any guest.MAXPHYADDR is valid with shadow paging, and it is
even useful in order to test KVM with MAXPHYADDR=52 (i.e. without
any reserved physical address bits).
The now common kvm_mmu_max_gfn() is inclusive instead of exclusive.
The memslot and TDP MMU code want an exclusive value, but the name
implies the returned value is inclusive, and the MMIO path needs an
inclusive check.

Re-introduce zapping only leaf SPTEs in kvm_zap_gfn_range() and
kvm_tdp_mmu_unmap_gfn_range(), this time without losing a pending TLB
flush when processing multiple roots (including nested TDP shadow roots).

Server 2019 in a guest with KSM enabled in the host (or any source of
mmu_notifier invalidations, KSM is just the easiest to force).

Disallow calling tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() with a REMOVED "old" SPTE.
This solves a conundrum introduced by commit 3255530ab191 ("KVM: x86/mmu:
Automatically update iter->old_spte if cmpxchg fails"); if the helper
doesn't update old_spte in the REMOVED case, then theoretically the
caller could get stuck in an infinite loop as it will fail indefinitely
on the REMOVED SPTE. E.g. until recently, clear_dirty_gfn_range() didn't
check for a present SPTE and would have spun until getting rescheduled.
In practice, only the page fault path should "create" a new SPTE, all
other paths should only operate on existing, a.k.a. shadow present,
SPTEs. Now that the page fault path pre-checks for a REMOVED SPTE in all
cases, require all other paths to indirectly pre-check by verifying the
target SPTE is a shadow-present SPTE.
Note, this does not guarantee the actual SPTE isn't REMOVED, nor is that
scenario disallowed. The invariant is only that the caller mustn't
invoke tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() if the SPTE was REMOVED when last
observed by the caller.

Explicitly check for a REMOVED leaf SPTE prior to attempting to map
the final SPTE when handling a TDP MMU fault. Functionally, this is a
nop as tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() will eventually detect the frozen SPTE.
Pre-checking for a REMOVED SPTE is a minor optmization, but the real goal
is to allow tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() to have an invariant that the "old"
SPTE is never a REMOVED SPTE.

Zap defunct roots, a.k.a. roots that have been invalidated after their
last reference was initially dropped, asynchronously via the existing work
queue instead of forcing the work upon the unfortunate task that happened
to drop the last reference.
If a vCPU task drops the last reference, the vCPU is effectively blocked
by the host for the entire duration of the zap. If the root being zapped
happens be fully populated with 4kb leaf SPTEs, e.g. due to dirty logging
being active, the zap can take several hundred seconds. Unsurprisingly,
most guests are unhappy if a vCPU disappears for hundreds of seconds.
E.g. running a synthetic selftest that triggers a vCPU root zap with
~64tb of guest memory and 4kb SPTEs blocks the vCPU for 900+ seconds.
Offloading the zap to a worker drops the block time to <100ms.
There is an important nuance to this change. If the same work item
was queued twice before the work function has run, it would only
execute once and one reference would be leaked. Therefore, now that
queueing and flushing items is not anymore protected by kvm->slots_lock,
kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_all_roots() has to check root->role.invalid and
skip already invalid roots. On the other hand, kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast()
must return only after those skipped roots have been zapped as well.
These two requirements can be satisfied only if _all_ places that
change invalid to true now schedule the worker before releasing the
mmu_lock. There are just two, kvm_tdp_mmu_put_root() and
kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_all_roots().

When zapping a TDP MMU root, perform the zap in two passes to avoid
zapping an entire top-level SPTE while holding RCU, which can induce RCU
stalls. In the first pass, zap SPTEs at PG_LEVEL_1G, and then
zap top-level entries in the second pass.
With 4-level paging, zapping a PGD that is fully populated with 4kb leaf
SPTEs take up to ~7 or so seconds (time varies based on kernel config,
number of (v)CPUs, etc...). With 5-level paging, that time can balloon
well into hundreds of seconds.
Before remote TLB flushes were omitted, the problem was even worse as
waiting for all active vCPUs to respond to the IPI introduced significant
overhead for VMs with large numbers of vCPUs.
By zapping 1gb SPTEs (both shadow pages and hugepages) in the first pass,
the amount of work that is done without dropping RCU protection is
strictly bounded, with the worst case latency for a single operation
being less than 100ms.
Zapping at 1gb in the first pass is not arbitrary. First and foremost,
KVM relies on being able to zap 1gb shadow pages in a single shot when
when repacing a shadow page with a hugepage. Zapping a 1gb shadow page
that is fully populated with 4kb dirty SPTEs also triggers the worst case
latency due writing back the struct page accessed/dirty bits for each 4kb
page, i.e. the two-pass approach is guaranteed to work so long as KVM can
cleany zap a 1gb shadow page.

Allow yielding when zapping SPTEs after the last reference to a valid
root is put. Because KVM must drop all SPTEs in response to relevant
mmu_notifier events, mark defunct roots invalid and reset their refcount
prior to zapping the root. Keeping the refcount elevated while the zap
is in-progress ensures the root is reachable via mmu_notifier until the
zap completes and the last reference to the invalid, defunct root is put.
Allowing kvm_tdp_mmu_put_root() to yield fixes soft lockup issues if the
root in being put has a massive paging structure, e.g. zapping a root
that is backed entirely by 4kb pages for a guest with 32tb of memory can
take hundreds of seconds to complete.

KVM currently doesn't put a root from a non-preemptible context, so other
than the mmu_notifier wrinkle, yielding when putting a root is safe.
Yield-unfriendly iteration uses for_each_tdp_mmu_root(), which doesn't
take a reference to each root (it requires mmu_lock be held for the
entire duration of the walk).
tdp_mmu_next_root() is used only by the yield-friendly iterator.
tdp_mmu_zap_root_work() is explicitly yield friendly.
kvm_mmu_free_roots() => mmu_free_root_page() is a much bigger fan-out,
but is still yield-friendly in all call sites, as all callers can be
traced back to some combination of vcpu_run(), kvm_destroy_vm(), and/or

Use the system worker threads to zap the roots invalidated
by the TDP MMU's "fast zap" mechanism, implemented by
kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_all_roots().
At this point, apart from allowing some parallelism in the zapping of
roots, the workqueue is a glorified linked list: work items are added and
flushed entirely within a single kvm->slots_lock critical section. However,
the workqueue fixes a latent issue where kvm_mmu_zap_all_invalidated_roots()
assumes that it owns a reference to all invalid roots; therefore, no
one can set the invalid bit outside kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast(). Putting the
invalidated roots on a linked list... erm, on a workqueue ensures that
tdp_mmu_zap_root_work() only puts back those extra references that
kvm_mmu_zap_all_invalidated_roots() had gifted to it.

Defer TLB flushes to the caller when freeing TDP MMU shadow pages instead
of immediately flushing. Because the shadow pages are freed in an RCU
callback, so long as at least one CPU holds RCU, all CPUs are protected.
For vCPUs running in the guest, i.e. consuming TLB entries, KVM only
needs to ensure the caller services the pending TLB flush before dropping
its RCU protections. I.e. use the caller's RCU as a proxy for all vCPUs
running in the guest.
Deferring the flushes allows batching flushes, e.g. when installing a
1gb hugepage and zapping a pile of SPs. And when zapping an entire root,
deferring flushes allows skipping the flush entirely (because flushes are
not needed in that case).
Avoiding flushes when zapping an entire root is especially important as
synchronizing with other CPUs via IPI after zapping every shadow page can
cause significant performance issues for large VMs. The issue is
exacerbated by KVM zapping entire top-level entries without dropping
RCU protection, which can lead to RCU stalls even when zapping roots
backing relatively "small" amounts of guest memory, e.g. 2tb. Removing
the IPI bottleneck largely mitigates the RCU issues, though it's likely
still a problem for 5-level paging. A future patch will further address
the problem by zapping roots in multiple passes to avoid holding RCU for
an extended duration.

Zap only leaf SPTEs in the TDP MMU's zap_gfn_range(), and rename various
functions accordingly. When removing mappings for functional correctness
(except for the stupid VFIO GPU passthrough memslots bug), zapping the
leaf SPTEs is sufficient as the paging structures themselves do not point
at guest memory and do not directly impact the final translation (in the
TDP MMU).
Note, this aligns the TDP MMU with the legacy/full MMU, which zaps only
the rmaps, a.k.a. leaf SPTEs, in kvm_zap_gfn_range() and
kvm_unmap_gfn_range().

Now that all callers of zap_gfn_range() hold mmu_lock for write, drop
support for zapping with mmu_lock held for read. That all callers hold
mmu_lock for write isn't a random coincidence; now that the paths that
need to zap _everything_ have their own path, the only callers left are
those that need to zap for functional correctness. And when zapping is
required for functional correctness, mmu_lock must be held for write,
otherwise the caller has no guarantees about the state of the TDP MMU
page tables after it has run, e.g. the SPTE(s) it zapped can be
immediately replaced by a vCPU faulting in a page.

Add a dedicated helper for zapping a TDP MMU root, and use it in the three
flows that do "zap_all" and intentionally do not do a TLB flush if SPTEs
are zapped (zapping an entire root is safe if and only if it cannot be in
use by any vCPU). Because a TLB flush is never required, unconditionally
pass "false" to tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched() when potentially yielding.
Opportunistically document why KVM must not yield when zapping roots that
are being zapped by kvm_tdp_mmu_put_root(), i.e. roots whose refcount has
reached zero, and further harden the flow to detect improper KVM behavior
with respect to roots that are supposed to be unreachable.
In addition to hardening zapping of roots, isolating zapping of roots
will allow future simplification of zap_gfn_range() by having it zap only
leaf SPTEs, and by removing its tricky "zap all" heuristic. By having
all paths that truly need to free _all_ SPs flow through the dedicated
root zapper, the generic zapper can be freed of those concerns.

Drop RCU protection after processing each root when handling MMU notifier
hooks that aren't the "unmap" path, i.e. aren't zapping. Temporarily
drop RCU to let RCU do its thing between roots, and to make it clear that
there's no special behavior that relies on holding RCU across all roots.
Currently, the RCU protection is completely superficial, it's necessary
only to make rcu_dereference() of SPTE pointers happy. A future patch
will rely on holding RCU as a proxy for vCPUs in the guest, e.g. to
ensure shadow pages aren't freed before all vCPUs do a TLB flush (or
rather, acknowledge the need for a flush), but in that case RCU needs to
be held until the flush is complete if and only if the flush is needed
because a shadow page may have been removed. And except for the "unmap"

Look for a !leaf=>leaf conversion instead of a PFN change when checking
if a SPTE change removed a TDP MMU shadow page. Convert the PFN check
into a WARN, as KVM should never change the PFN of a shadow page (except
when its being zapped or replaced).
From a purely theoretical perspective, it's not illegal to replace a SP
with a hugepage pointing at the same PFN. In practice, it's impossible
as that would require mapping guest memory overtop a kernel-allocated SP.

Fix misleading and arguably wrong comments in the TDP MMU's fast zap
flow. The comments, and the fact that actually zapping invalid roots was
added separately, strongly suggests that zapping invalid roots is an
optimization and not required for correctness. That is a lie.
KVM _must_ zap invalid roots before returning from kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast(),
because when it's called from kvm_mmu_invalidate_zap_pages_in_memslot(),
KVM is relying on it to fully remove all references to the memslot. Once
the memslot is gone, KVM's mmu_notifier hooks will be unable to find the
stale references as the hva=>gfn translation is done via the memslots.
If KVM doesn't immediately zap SPTEs and userspace unmaps a range after
deleting a memslot, KVM will fail to zap in response to the mmu_notifier
due to not finding a memslot corresponding to the notifier's range, which
leads to a variation of use-after-free.
The other misleading comment (and code) explicitly states that roots
without a reference should be skipped. While that's technically true,
it's also extremely misleading as it should be impossible for KVM to
encounter a defunct root on the list while holding mmu_lock for write.
Opportunistically add a WARN to enforce that invariant.

When dirty logging is enabled without initially-all-set, try to split
all huge pages in the memslot down to 4KB pages so that vCPUs do not
have to take expensive write-protection faults to split huge pages.
Eager page splitting is best-effort only. This commit only adds the
support for the TDP MMU, and even there splitting may fail due to out
of memory conditions. Failures to split a huge page is fine from a
correctness standpoint because KVM will always follow up splitting by
write-protecting any remaining huge pages.
Eager page splitting moves the cost of splitting huge pages off of the
vCPU threads and onto the thread enabling dirty logging on the memslot.
This is useful because:
1. Splitting on the vCPU thread interrupts vCPUs execution and is
disruptive to customers whereas splitting on VM ioctl threads can
run in parallel with vCPU execution.
2. Splitting all huge pages at once is more efficient because it does
not require performing VM-exit handling or walking the page table for
every 4KiB page in the memslot, and greatly reduces the amount of
contention on the mmu_lock.
For example, when running dirty_log_perf_test with 96 virtual CPUs, 1GiB
per vCPU, and 1GiB HugeTLB memory, the time it takes vCPUs to write to
all of their memory after dirty logging is enabled decreased by 95% from
2.94s to 0.14s.
Eager Page Splitting is over 100x more efficient than the current
implementation of splitting on fault under the read lock. For example,
taking the same workload as above, Eager Page Splitting reduced the CPU
required to split all huge pages from ~270 CPU-seconds ((2.94s - 0.14s)
* 96 vCPU threads) to only 1.55 CPU-seconds.
Eager page splitting does increase the amount of time it takes to enable
dirty logging since it has split all huge pages. For example, the time
it took to enable dirty logging in the 96GiB region of the
aforementioned test increased from 0.001s to 1.55s.

Then change "page" to "pt" to convey that this is operating on a page

alloc_tdp_mmu_page() -> tdp_mmu_alloc_sp()

tdp_mmu_unlink_page() -> tdp_mmu_unlink_sp()
These changed make tdp_mmu a consistent prefix before the verb in the

kvm_mmu_page structs rather than struct pages.
One could argue that "shadow page" is the wrong term for a page table in
the TDP MMU since it never actually shadows a guest page table.
However, "shadow page" (or "sp" for short) has evolved to become the
standard term in KVM when referring to a kvm_mmu_page struct, and its
associated page table and other metadata, regardless of whether the page
table shadows a guest page table. So this commit just makes the TDP MMU
more consistent with the rest of KVM.
