    x86/hyperv: Suspend/resume the VP assist page for hibernation · 421f090c
    Dexuan Cui authored
    Unlike the other CPUs, CPU0 is never offlined during hibernation, so in the
    resume path, the "new" kernel's VP assist page is not suspended (i.e. not
    disabled), and later when we jump to the "old" kernel, the page is not
    properly re-enabled for CPU0 with the allocated page from the old kernel.
    
    So far, the VP assist page is used by hv_apic_eoi_write(), and is also
    used in the case of nested virtualization (running KVM atop Hyper-V).
    
    For hv_apic_eoi_write(), when the page is not properly re-enabled,
    hvp->apic_assist is always 0, so the HV_X64_MSR_EOI MSR is always written.
    This is not ideal with respect to performance, but Hyper-V can still
    correctly handle this according to the Hyper-V spec; nevertheless, Linux
    still must update the Hyper-V hypervisor with the correct VP assist page
    to prevent Hyper-V from writing to the stale page, which causes guest
    memory corruption and consequently may have caused the hangs and triple
    faults seen during non-boot CPUs resume.
    
    Fix the issue by calling hv_cpu_die()/hv_cpu_init() in the syscore ops.
    Without the fix, hibernation can fail at a rate of 1/300 ~ 1/500.
    With the fix, hibernation can pass a long-haul test of 2000 runs.
    
    In the case of nested virtualization, disabling/reenabling the assist
    page upon hibernation may be unsafe if there are active L2 guests.
    It looks KVM should be enhanced to abort the hibernation request if
    there is any active L2 guest.
