KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.17
- Exempt nested EPT from the the !USER + CR0.WP logic, as EPT doesn't interact
with CR0.WP.
- Move the TDX hardware setup code to tdx.c to better co-locate TDX code
and eliminate a few global symbols.
- Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer
allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU doesn't
use the list).

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.17
- Prevert the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM (Intel only) when running the
guest. Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can bleed host state into the guest.
- Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter (Intel only) to
prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF.
- Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the
vCPU's CPUID model.
- Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are more or
less identical.
- Recalculate all MSR intercepts from the "source" on MSR filter changes, and
drop the dedicated "shadow" bitmaps (and their awful "max" size defines).
- WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the
nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR.
- Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction that's
loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated independently.
- Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by stuffing INIT_RECEIVED,
a.k.a. WFS, and then putting the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Use
the same approach KVM uses for dealing with "impossible" emulation when
running a !URG guest, and simply wait until KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU
has architecturally impossible state.
- Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of
APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can "virtualize"
APERF/MPERF (with many caveats).
- Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ if vCPUs have been created, as changing the "default"
frequency is unsupported for VMs with a "secure" TSC, and there's no known
use case for changing the default frequency for other VM types.

KVM VFIO device assignment cleanups for 6.17
Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated tracking now
that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a bad heuristic for "VM has
an irqbypass producer" or for "VM has access to host MMIO".

KVM MMIO Stale Data mitigation cleanup for 6.17
Rework KVM's mitigation for the MMIO State Data vulnerability to track
whether or not a vCPU has access to (host) MMIO based on the MMU that will be
used when running in the guest. The current approach doesn't actually detect
whether or not a guest has access to MMIO, and is prone to false negatives (and
to a lesser extent, false positives), as KVM_DEV_VFIO_FILE_ADD is optional, and
obviously only covers VFIO devices.

KVM IRQ changes for 6.17
- Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an xarray
instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to O(n^2) insertion
times, which is hugely problematic for use cases that create large numbers
of VMs. Such use cases typically don't actually use irqbypass, but
eliminating the pointless registration is a future problem to solve as it
likely requires new uAPI.
- Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a "void *",
to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult to understand.
- Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O APIC, PIC,
and PIT emulation at compile time.
- Drop x86's irq_comm.c, and move a pile of IRQ related code into irq.c.
- Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code.
- Inhibited AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware
supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation.
- Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving IsRunning
clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry.
- Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected by
erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs.
- Dedup x86's device posted IRQ code, as the vast majority of functionality
can be shared verbatime between SVM and VMX.
- Harden the device posted IRQ code against bugs and runtime errors.
- Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups O(1)
instead of O(n).
- Generate GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is blocking, i.e.
only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake the vCPU.
- Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding a VM to
a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device posted IRQs.
- Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code.
- Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority waiter, i.e.
ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd through the entire host,
and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd bindings are globally unique.

Drop kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and all associated code now that
KVM x86 no longer consumes assigned_device_count. Tracking whether or not
a VFIO-assigned device is formally associated with a VM is fundamentally
flawed, as such an association is optional for general usage, i.e. is prone
to false negatives. E.g. prior to commit 2edd9cb79fb3 ("kvm: detect
assigned device via irqbypass manager"), device passthrough via VFIO would
fail to enable IRQ bypass if userspace omitted the formal VFIO<=>KVM
binding.
And device drivers that *need* the VFIO<=>KVM connection, e.g. KVM-GT,
shouldn't be relying on generic x86 tracking infrastructure.

Enforce the MMIO State Data mitigation if KVM has ever mapped host MMIO
into the VM, not if the VM has an assigned device. VFIO is but one of
many ways to map host MMIO into a KVM guest, and even within VFIO,
formally attaching a device to a VM via KVM_DEV_VFIO_FILE_ADD is entirely
optional.
Track whether or not the guest can access host MMIO on a per-MMU basis,
i.e. based on whether or not the vCPU has a mapping to host MMIO. For
simplicity, track MMIO mappings in "special" rools (those without a
kvm_mmu_page) at the VM level, as only Intel CPUs are vulnerable, and so
only legacy 32-bit shadow paging is affected, i.e. lack of precise
tracking is a complete non-issue.
Make the per-MMU and per-VM flags sticky. Detecting when *all* MMIO
mappings have been removed would be absurdly complex. And in practice,
removing MMIO from a guest will be done by deleting the associated memslot,
which by default will force KVM to re-allocate all roots. Special roots
will forever be mitigated, but as above, the affected scenarios are not
expected to be performance sensitive.
Use a VMX_RUN flag to communicate the need for a buffers flush to
vmx_vcpu_enter_exit() so that kvm_vcpu_can_access_host_mmio() and all its
dependencies don't need to be marked __always_inline, e.g. so that KASAN
doesn't trigger a noinstr violation.

Allocate VM structs via kvzalloc(), i.e. try to use a contiguous physical
allocation before falling back to __vmalloc(), to avoid the overhead of
establishing the virtual mappings. For non-debug builds, The SVM and VMX
(and TDX) structures are now just below 7000 bytes in the worst case
scenario (see below), i.e. are order-1 allocations, and will likely remain
that way for quite some time.
Add compile-time assertions in vendor code to ensure the size of the
structures, sans the memslot hash tables, are order-0 allocations, i.e.
are less than 4KiB. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with a larger
kvm_{svm,vmx,tdx} size, but given that the size of the structure (without
the memslots hash tables) is below 2KiB after 18+ years of existence,
more than doubling the size would be quite notable.
Add sanity checks on the memslot hash table sizes, partly to ensure they
aren't resized without accounting for the impact on VM structure size, and
partly to document that the majority of the size of VM structures comes
from the memslots.

Dynamically allocate the (massive) array of hashed lists used to track
shadow pages, as the array itself is 32KiB, i.e. is an order-3 allocation
all on its own, and is *exactly* an order-3 allocation. Dynamically
allocating the array will allow allocating "struct kvm" using kvmalloc(),
and will also allow deferring allocation of the array until it's actually
needed, i.e. until the first shadow root is allocated.
Opportunistically use kvmalloc() for the hashed lists, as an order-3
allocation is (stating the obvious) less likely to fail than an order-4
allocation, and the overhead of vmalloc() is undesirable given that the
size of the allocation is fixed.

Use a dedicated counter to track the number of IRQs that can utilize IRQ
bypass instead of piggybacking the assigned device count. As evidenced by
commit 2edd9cb79fb3 ("kvm: detect assigned device via irqbypass manager"),
it's possible for a device to be able to post IRQs to a vCPU without said
device being assigned to a VM.
Leave the calls to kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() alone for the moment
to avoid regressing the MMIO stale data mitigation. KVM is abusing the
assigned device count when applying mmio_stale_data_clear, and it's not at
all clear if vDPA devices rely on this behavior. This will hopefully be
cleaned up in the future, as the number of assigned devices is a terrible
heuristic for detecting if a VM has access to host MMIO.

Inhibit AVIC with a new "ID too big" flag if userspace creates a vCPU with
an ID that is too big, but otherwise allow vCPU creation to succeed.
Rejecting KVM_CREATE_VCPU with EINVAL violates KVM's ABI as KVM advertises
that the max vCPU ID is 4095, but disallows creating vCPUs with IDs bigger
than 254 (AVIC) or 511 (x2AVIC).
Alternatively, KVM could advertise an accurate value depending on which
AVIC mode is in use, but that wouldn't really solve the underlying problem,
e.g. would be a breaking change if KVM were to ever try and enable AVIC or
x2AVIC by default.

When updating IRTEs in response to a GSI routing or IRQ bypass change,
pass the new/current routing information along with the associated irqfd.
This will allow KVM x86 to harden, simplify, and deduplicate its code.
Since adding/removing a bypass producer is now conveniently protected with
irqfds.lock, i.e. can't run concurrently with kvm_irq_routing_update(),
use the routing information cached in the irqfd instead of looking up
the information in the current GSI routing tables.
Opportunistically convert an existing printk() to pr_info() and put its

Add a Kconfig to allow building KVM without support for emulating a I/O
APIC, PIC, and PIT, which is desirable for deployments that effectively
don't support a fully in-kernel IRQ chip, i.e. never expect any VMM to
create an in-kernel I/O APIC. E.g. compiling out support eliminates a few
thousand lines of guest-facing code and gives security folks warm fuzzies.
As a bonus, wrapping relevant paths with CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC #ifdefs makes
it much easier for readers to understand which bits and pieces exist
specifically for fully in-kernel IRQ chips.
Opportunistically convert all two in-kernel uses of __KVM_HAVE_IOAPIC to

Don't bother clearing the PIT's IRQ line status when destroying the PIT,
as userspace can't possibly rely on KVM to lower the IRQ line in any sane
use case, and it's not at all obvious that clearing the PIT's IRQ line is
correct/desirable in kvm_create_pit()'s error path.
When called from kvm_arch_pre_destroy_vm(), the entire VM is being torn
down and thus {kvm_pic,kvm_ioapic}.irq_states are unreachable.
As for the error path in kvm_create_pit(), the only way the PIT's bit in
irq_states can be set is if userspace raises the associated IRQ before
KVM_CREATE_PIT{2} completes. Forcefully clearing the bit would clobber
userspace's input, nonsensical though that input may be. Not to mention
that no known VMM will continue on if PIT creation fails.

Set/clear DEBUGCTLMSR_FREEZE_IN_SMM in GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL based on the
host's pre-VM-Enter value, i.e. preserve the host's FREEZE_IN_SMM setting
while running the guest. When running with the "default treatment of SMIs"
in effect (the only mode KVM supports), SMIs do not generate a VM-Exit that
is visible to host (non-SMM) software, and instead transitions directly
from VMX non-root to SMM. And critically, DEBUGCTL isn't context switched
by hardware on SMI or RSM, i.e. SMM will run with whatever value was
resident in hardware at the time of the SMI.
Failure to preserve FREEZE_IN_SMM results in the PMU unexpectedly counting
events while the CPU is executing in SMM, which can pollute profiling and
potentially leak information into the guest.
Check for changes in FREEZE_IN_SMM prior to every entry into KVM's inner
run loop, as the bit can be toggled in IRQ context via IPI callback (SMP
function call), by way of /sys/devices/cpu/freeze_on_smi.
Add a field in kvm_x86_ops to communicate which DEBUGCTL bits need to be
preserved, as FREEZE_IN_SMM is only supported and defined for Intel CPUs,
i.e. explicitly checking FREEZE_IN_SMM in common x86 is at best weird, and
at worst could lead to undesirable behavior in the future if AMD CPUs ever
happened to pick up a collision with the bit.
Exempt TDX vCPUs, i.e. protected guests, from the check, as the TDX Module
owns and controls GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL.
WARN in SVM if KVM_RUN_LOAD_DEBUGCTL is set, mostly to document that the
lack of handling isn't a KVM bug (TDX already WARNs on any run_flag).
Lastly, explicitly reload GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL on a VM-Fail that is missed
by KVM but detected by hardware, i.e. in nested_vmx_restore_host_state().
Doing so avoids the need to track host_debugctl on a per-VMCS basis, as
GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL is unconditionally written by prepare_vmcs02() and
load_vmcs12_host_state(). For the VM-Fail case, even though KVM won't
have actually entered the guest, vcpu_enter_guest() will have run with
vmcs02 active and thus could result in vmcs01 being run with a stale value.

Instruct vendor code to load the guest's DR6 into hardware via a new
KVM_RUN flag, and remove kvm_x86_ops.set_dr6(), whose sole purpose was to
load vcpu->arch.dr6 into hardware when DR6 can be read/written directly
by the guest.
Note, TDX already WARNs on any run_flag being set, i.e. will yell if KVM
thinks DR6 needs to be reloaded. TDX vCPUs force KVM_DEBUGREG_AUTO_SWITCH
and never clear the flag, i.e. should never observe KVM_RUN_LOAD_GUEST_DR6.

Convert kvm_x86_ops.vcpu_run()'s "force_immediate_exit" boolean parameter
into an a generic bitmap so that similar "take action" information can be
passed to vendor code without creating a pile of boolean parameters.
This will allow dropping kvm_x86_ops.set_dr6() in favor of a new flag, and
will also allow for adding similar functionality for re-loading debugctl
in the active VMCS.
Opportunistically massage the TDX WARN and comment to prepare for adding
more run_flags, all of which are expected to be mutually exclusive with
TDX, i.e. should be WARNed on.
No functional change intended.

"As far as x86 goes this pull request "only" includes TDX host support.
Quotes are appropriate because (at 6k lines and 100+ commits) it is
much bigger than the rest, which will come later this week and
consists mostly of bugfixes and selftests. s390 changes will also come
in the second batch.
ARM:
- Add large stage-2 mapping (THP) support for non-protected guests
when pKVM is enabled, clawing back some performance.
- Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it,
though it is disabled by default.
- Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE
and protected modes.
- Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links
them with the effects of control bits. While this has no functional
impact, it ensures correctness of emulation (the data is
automatically extracted from the published JSON files), and helps
dealing with the evolution of the architecture.
- Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages,
avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's
vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above.
- New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules
- Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests
even if the host didn't have it.
- Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be
rather buggy in some specific contexts.
- Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N
from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a
number of issues in the process.
- Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a
guest.
- Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the
kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly
bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW.
- Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers
from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2
are heavily synchronised.
- Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS
tables in a human-friendly fashion.
- and the usual random cleanups.
LoongArch:
- Don't flush tlb if the host supports hardware page table walks.
- Add KVM selftests support.
RISC-V:
- Add vector registers to get-reg-list selftest
- VCPU reset related improvements
- Remove scounteren initialization from VCPU reset
- Support VCPU reset from userspace using set_mpstate() ioctl
x86:
- Initial support for TDX in KVM.
This finally makes it possible to use the TDX module to run
confidential guests on Intel processors. This is quite a large
series, including support for private page tables (managed by the
TDX module and mirrored in KVM for efficiency), forwarding some
TDVMCALLs to userspace, and handling several special VM exits from
the TDX module.
This has been in the works for literally years and it's not really
possible to describe everything here, so I'll defer to the various

An AP destroy request for a target vCPU is typically followed by an
RMPADJUST to remove the VMSA attribute from the page currently being
used as the VMSA for the target vCPU. This can result in a vCPU that
is about to VMRUN to exit with #VMEXIT_INVALID.
This usually does not happen as APs are typically sitting in HLT when
being destroyed and therefore the vCPU thread is not running at the time.
However, if HLT is allowed inside the VM, then the vCPU could be about to
VMRUN when the VMSA attribute is removed from the VMSA page, resulting in
a #VMEXIT_INVALID when the vCPU actually issues the VMRUN and causing the
guest to crash. An RMPADJUST against an in-use (already running) VMSA
results in a #NPF for the vCPU issuing the RMPADJUST, so the VMSA
attribute cannot be changed until the VMRUN for target vCPU exits. The
Qemu command line option '-overcommit cpu-pm=on' is an example of allowing
HLT inside the guest.
Update the KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE event to include the
KVM_REQUEST_WAIT flag. The kvm_vcpu_kick() function will not wait for
requests to be honored, so create kvm_make_request_and_kick() that will
add a new event request and honor the KVM_REQUEST_WAIT flag. This will
ensure that the target vCPU sees the AP destroy request before returning
to the initiating vCPU should the target vCPU be in guest mode.

Add a module param to each KVM vendor module to allow disabling device
posted interrupts without having to sacrifice all of APICv/AVIC, and to
also effectively enumerate to userspace whether or not KVM may be
utilizing device posted IRQs. Disabling device posted interrupts is
very desirable for testing, and can even be desirable for production
environments, e.g. if the host kernel wants to interpose on device
interrupts.
Put the module param in kvm-{amd,intel}.ko instead of kvm.ko to match
the overall APICv/AVIC controls, and to avoid complications with said
controls. E.g. if the param is in kvm.ko, KVM needs to be snapshot the
original user-defined value to play nice with a vendor module being
reloaded with different enable_apicv settings.

Rescan I/O APIC routes for a vCPU after handling an intercepted I/O APIC
EOI for an IRQ that is not targeting said vCPU, i.e. after handling what's
effectively a stale EOI VM-Exit. If a level-triggered IRQ is in-flight
when IRQ routing changes, e.g. because the guest changes routing from its
IRQ handler, then KVM intercepts EOIs on both the new and old target vCPUs,
so that the in-flight IRQ can be de-asserted when it's EOI'd.
However, only the EOI for the in-flight IRQ needs to be intercepted, as
IRQs on the same vector with the new routing are coincidental, i.e. occur
only if the guest is reusing the vector for multiple interrupt sources.
If the I/O APIC routes aren't rescanned, KVM will unnecessarily intercept
EOIs for the vector and negative impact the vCPU's interrupt performance.
Note, both commit db2bdcbbbd32 ("KVM: x86: fix edge EOI and IOAPIC reconfig
race") and commit 0fc5a36dd6b3 ("KVM: x86: ioapic: Fix level-triggered EOI
and IOAPIC reconfigure race") mentioned this issue, but it was considered
a "rare" occurrence thus was not addressed. However in real environments,
this issue can happen even in a well-behaved guest.

kvm_arch_has_irq_bypass() is a small function and even though it does
not appear in any *really* hot paths, it's also not entirely rare.
Make it inline---it also works out nicely in preparation for using it in

This large commit contains the initial support for TDX in KVM. All x86
parts enable the host-side hypercalls that KVM uses to talk to the TDX
module, a software component that runs in a special CPU mode called SEAM
(Secure Arbitration Mode).
The series is in turn split into multiple sub-series, each with a separate
merge commit:
- Initialization: basic setup for using the TDX module from KVM, plus
ioctls to create TDX VMs and vCPUs.
- MMU: in TDX, private and shared halves of the address space are mapped by
different EPT roots, and the private half is managed by the TDX module.
Using the support that was added to the generic MMU code in 6.14,
add support for TDX's secure page tables to the Intel side of KVM.
Generic KVM code takes care of maintaining a mirror of the secure page
tables so that they can be queried efficiently, and ensuring that changes
are applied to both the mirror and the secure EPT.
- vCPU enter/exit: implement the callbacks that handle the entry of a TDX
vCPU (via the SEAMCALL TDH.VP.ENTER) and the corresponding save/restore
of host state.
- Userspace exits: introduce support for guest TDVMCALLs that KVM forwards to
userspace. These correspond to the usual KVM_EXIT_* "heavyweight vmexits"
but are triggered through a different mechanism, similar to VMGEXIT for
SEV-ES and SEV-SNP.
- Interrupt handling: support for virtual interrupt injection as well as
handling VM-Exits that are caused by vectored events. Exclusive to
TDX are machine-check SMIs, which the kernel already knows how to
handle through the kernel machine check handler (commit 7911f145de5f,
"x86/mce: Implement recovery for errors in TDX/SEAM non-root mode")
- Loose ends: handling of the remaining exits from the TDX module, including
EPT violation/misconfig and several TDVMCALL leaves that are handled in
the kernel (CPUID, HLT, RDMSR/WRMSR, GetTdVmCallInfo); plus returning
an error or ignoring operations that are not supported by TDX guests

Wrap the TDP MMU page counter in CONFIG_KVM_PROVE_MMU so that the sanity
check is omitted from production builds, and more importantly to remove
the atomic accesses to account pages. A one-off memory leak in production
is relatively uninteresting, and a WARN_ON won't help mitigate a systemic
issue; it's as much about helping triage memory leaks as it is about
detecting them in the first place, and doesn't magically stop the leaks.
I.e. production environments will be quite sad if a severe KVM bug escapes,
regardless of whether or not KVM WARNs.

KVM Xen changes for 6.15
- Don't write to the Xen hypercall page on MSR writes that are initiated by
the host (userspace or KVM) to fix a class of bugs where KVM can write to
guest memory at unexpected times, e.g. during vCPU creation if userspace has
set the Xen hypercall MSR index to collide with an MSR that KVM emulates.
- Restrict the Xen hypercall MSR indx to the unofficial synthetic range to
reduce the set of possible collisions with MSRs that are emulated by KVM
(collisions can still happen as KVM emulates Hyper-V MSRs, which also reside
in the synthetic range).
- Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of Xen MSR writes and xen_hvm_config.
- Update Xen TSC leaves during CPUID emulation instead of modifying the CPUID
entries when updating PV clocks, as there is no guarantee PV clocks will be
updated between TSC frequency changes and CPUID emulation, and guest reads
of Xen TSC should be rare, i.e. are not a hot path.
|
|
KVM PV clock changes for 6.15:
- Don't take kvm->lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend notifier to
fix a largely theoretical deadlock.
- Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the Xen timer,
as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus.
- Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across different
PV clocks.
- Restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as KVM's suspend notifier only
accounts for kvmclock, and there's no evidence that the flag is actually
supported by Xen guests.
- Clean up the per-vCPU "cache" of its reference pvclock, and instead only
track the vCPU's TSC scaling (multipler+shift) metadata (which is moderately
expensive to compute, and rarely changes for modern setups).

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.15:
- Fix a bug in PIC emulation that caused KVM to emit a spurious KVM_REQ_EVENT.
- Add a helper to consolidate handling of mp_state transitions, and use it to
clear pv_unhalted whenever a vCPU is made RUNNABLE.
- Defer runtime CPUID updates until KVM emulates a CPUID instruction, to
coalesce updates when multiple pieces of vCPU state are changing, e.g. as
part of a nested transition.
- Fix a variety of nested emulation bugs, and add VMX support for synthesizing
nested VM-Exit on interception (instead of injecting #UD into L2).
- Drop "support" for PV Async #PF with proctected guests without SEND_ALWAYS,
as KVM can't get the current CPL.
- Misc cleanups
|
|
KVM x86/mmu changes for 6.15
Add support for "fast" aging of SPTEs in both the TDP MMU and Shadow MMU, where
"fast" means "without holding mmu_lock". Not taking mmu_lock allows multiple
aging actions to run in parallel, and more importantly avoids stalling vCPUs,
e.g. due to holding mmu_lock for an extended duration while a vCPU is faulting
in memory.
For the TDP MMU, protect aging via RCU; the page tables are RCU-protected and
KVM doesn't need to access any metadata to age SPTEs.
For the Shadow MMU, use bit 1 of rmap pointers (bit 0 is used to terminate a
list of rmaps) to implement a per-rmap single-bit spinlock. When aging a gfn,
acquire the rmap's spinlock with read-only permissions, which allows hardening
and optimizing the locking and aging, e.g. locking an rmap for write requires
mmu_lock to also be held. The lock is NOT a true R/W spinlock, i.e. multiple
concurrent readers aren't supported.
To avoid forcing all SPTE updates to use atomic operations (clearing the
Accessed bit out of mmu_lock makes it inherently volatile), rework and rename
spte_has_volatile_bits() to spte_needs_atomic_update() and deliberately exclude
the Accessed bit. KVM (and mm/) already tolerates false positives/negatives
for Accessed information, and all testing has shown that reducing the latency
of aging is far more beneficial to overall system performance than providing
"perfect" young/old information.
