interfaces
Based on our observations, after any vm-exit associated with vPMU, there
are at least two or more perf interfaces to be called for guest counter
emulation, such as perf_event_{pause, read_value, period}(), and each one
will {lock, unlock} the same perf_event_ctx. The frequency of calls becomes
more severe when guest use counters in a multiplexed manner.
Holding a lock once and completing the KVM request operations in the perf
context would introduce a set of impractical new interfaces. So we can
further optimize the vPMU implementation by avoiding repeated calls to
these interfaces in the KVM context for at least one pattern:
After we call perf_event_pause() once, the event will be disabled and its
internal count will be reset to 0. So there is no need to pause it again
or read its value. Once the event is paused, event period will not be
updated until the next time it's resumed or reprogrammed. And there is
also no need to call perf_event_period twice for a non-running counter,
considering the perf_event for a running counter is never paused.
Based on this implementation, for the following common usage of
sampling 4 events using perf on a 4u8g guest:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog
echo 25 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
echo 10000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent
for i in `seq 1 1 10`
do
taskset -c 0 perf record \
-e cpu-cycles -e instructions -e branch-instructions -e cache-misses \
/root/br_instr a
done
the average latency of the guest NMI handler is reduced from
37646.7 ns to 32929.3 ns (~1.14x speed up) on the Intel ICX server.
Also, in addition to collecting more samples, no loss of sampling
accuracy was observed compared to before the optimization.

The vPMU uses GUEST_LBR_IN_USE_IDX (bit 58) in 'pmu->pmc_in_use' to
indicate whether a guest LBR event is still needed by the vcpu. If the
vcpu no longer accesses LBR related registers within a scheduling time
slice, and the enable bit of LBR has been unset, vPMU will treat the
guest LBR event as a bland event of a vPMC counter and release it
as usual. Also, the pass-through state of LBR records msrs is cancelled.

The current vPMU only supports Architecture Version 2. According to
Intel SDM "17.4.7 Freezing LBR and Performance Counters on PMI", if
IA32_DEBUGCTL.Freeze_LBR_On_PMI = 1, the LBR is frozen on the virtual
PMI and the KVM would emulate to clear the LBR bit (bit 0) in
IA32_DEBUGCTL. Also, guest needs to re-enable IA32_DEBUGCTL.LBR
to resume recording branches.

The sample_period of a counter tracks when that counter will
overflow and set global status/trigger a PMI. However this currently
only gets set when the initial counter is created or when a counter is

Currently, a host perf_event is created for a vPMC functionality emulation.
It’s unpredictable to determine if a disabled perf_event will be reused.
If they are disabled and are not reused for a considerable period of time,
those obsolete perf_events would increase host context switch overhead that
could have been avoided.
If the guest doesn't WRMSR any of the vPMC's MSRs during an entire vcpu
sched time slice, and its independent enable bit of the vPMC isn't set,
we can predict that the guest has finished the use of this vPMC, and then
do request KVM_REQ_PMU in kvm_arch_sched_in and release those perf_events
in the first call of kvm_pmu_handle_event() after the vcpu is scheduled in.
This lazy mechanism delays the event release time to the beginning of the
next scheduled time slice if vPMC's MSRs aren't changed during this time
slice. If guest comes back to use this vPMC in next time slice, a new perf
event would be re-created via perf_event_create_kernel_counter() as usual.

The perf_event_create_kernel_counter() in the pmc_reprogram_counter() is
a heavyweight and high-frequency operation, especially when host disables
the watchdog (maximum 21000000 ns) which leads to an unacceptable latency
of the guest NMI handler. It limits the use of vPMUs in the guest.
When a vPMC is fully enabled, the legacy reprogram_*_counter() would stop
and release its existing perf_event (if any) every time EVEN in most cases
almost the same requested perf_event will be created and configured again.
For each vPMC, if the reuqested config ('u64 eventsel' for gp and 'u8 ctrl'
for fixed) is the same as its current config AND a new sample period based
on pmc->counter is accepted by host perf interface, the current event could
be reused safely as a new created one does. Otherwise, do release the
undesirable perf_event and reprogram a new one as usual.
It's light-weight to call pmc_pause_counter (disable, read and reset event)
and pmc_resume_counter (recalibrate period and re-enable event) as guest
expects instead of release-and-create again on any condition. Compared to
use the filterable event->attr or hw.config, a new 'u64 current_config'
field is added to save the last original programed config for each vPMC.
Based on this implementation, the number of calls to pmc_reprogram_counter
is reduced by ~82.5% for a gp sampling event and ~99.9% for a fixed event.
In the usage of multiplexing perf sampling mode, the average latency of the
guest NMI handler is reduced from 104923 ns to 48393 ns (~2.16x speed up).
If host disables watchdog, the minimum latecy of guest NMI handler could be
speed up at ~3413x (from 20407603 to 5979 ns) and at ~786x in the average.

The leagcy pmu_ops->msr_idx_to_pmc is only called in kvm_pmu_rdpmc, so
this function actually receives the contents of ECX before RDPMC, and
translates it to a kvm_pmc. Let's clarify its semantic by renaming the
existing msr_idx_to_pmc to rdpmc_ecx_to_pmc, and is_valid_msr_idx to
is_valid_rdpmc_ecx; likewise for the wrapper kvm_pmu_is_valid_msr_idx.

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.

pmc_reprogram_counter() always sets a sample period based on the value of
pmc->counter. However, hsw_hw_config() rejects sample periods less than
2^31 - 1. So for example, if a KVM guest does
struct perf_event_attr attr;
memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr));
attr.type = PERF_TYPE_RAW;
attr.size = sizeof(attr);
attr.config = 0x2005101c4; // conditional branches retired IN_TXCP
attr.sample_period = 0;
int fd = syscall(__NR_perf_event_open, &attr, 0, -1, -1, 0);
ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE, 0);
ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0);
the guest kernel counts some conditional branch events, then updates the
virtual PMU register with a nonzero count. The host reaches
pmc_reprogram_counter() with nonzero pmc->counter, triggers EOPNOTSUPP
in hsw_hw_config(), prints "kvm_pmu: event creation failed" in
pmc_reprogram_counter(), and silently (from the guest's point of view) stops
counting events.
We fix event counting by forcing attr.sample_period to always be zero for
in_tx_cp counters. Sampling doesn't work, but it already didn't work and
can't be fixed without major changes to the approach in hsw_hw_config().

If a guest enables a performance counter but does not enable PMI, the
hypervisor currently does not reprogram the performance counter once it
overflows. As a result the host performance counter is kept with the original
sampling period which was configured according to the value of the guest's
counter when the counter was enabled.
Such behaviour can cause very bad consequences. The most distrubing one can
cause the guest not to make any progress at all, and keep exiting due to host
PMI before any guest instructions is exeucted. This situation occurs when the
performance counter holds a very high value when the guest enables the
performance counter. As a result the host's sampling period is configured to be
very short. The host then never reconfigures the sampling period and get stuck
at entry->PMI->exit loop. We encountered such a scenario in our experiments.
The solution is to reprogram the counter even if the guest does not use PMI.

The underlying support for this is in perf/core now. So please merge
this patch into the KVM tree.]
This is not arch perfmon, but older CPUs will just ignore it. This makes
it possible to do at least some TSX measurements from a KVM guest
v2: Various fixes to address review feedback
v3: Ignore the bits when no CPUID. No #GP. Force raw events with TSX bits.
v4: Use reserved bits for #GP
v5: Remove obsolete argument

In order to migrate the PMU state correctly, we need to restore the
values of MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS (a read-only register) and
MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL (which has side effects when written).
We also need to write the full 40-bit value of the performance counter,
which would only be possible with a v3 architectural PMU's full-width
counter MSRs.
To distinguish host-initiated writes from the guest's, pass the
full struct msr_data to kvm_pmu_set_msr.

There are macros that are Intel specific and not x86 generic. Rename
them into INTEL_*.
This patch removes X86_PMC_IDX_GENERIC and does:

Currently pmu emulation emulates fixed counter 2 as bus cycles
architectural counter, but since commit 9c1497ea591b25d perf has
pseudo encoding for it. Use it.
