Drop an explicit MMU reset when entering emulated real mode now that the vCPU INIT/RESET path correctly handles conditional MMU resets, e.g. if INIT arrives while the vCPU is in 64-bit mode. Note, while there are multiple other direct calls to vmx_set_cr0(), i.e. paths that change CR0 without invoking kvm_post_set_cr0(), only the INIT emulation can reach enter_rmode(). CLTS emulation only toggles CR.TS, VM-Exit (and late VM-Fail) emulation cannot architecturally transition to Real Mode, and VM-Enter to Real Mode is possible if and only if Unrestricted Guest is enabled (exposed to L1). This effectively reverts commit 8668a3c4 ("KVM: VMX: Reset mmu context when entering real mode") Signed-off-by:

At vCPU RESET/INIT (mostly RESET), stuff EDX with KVM's hardcoded, default Family-Model-Stepping ID of 0x600 if CPUID.0x1 isn't defined. At RESET, the CPUID lookup is guaranteed to "miss" because KVM emulates RESET before exposing the vCPU to userspace, i.e. userspace can't possibly have done set the vCPU's CPUID model, and thus KVM will always write '0'. At INIT, using 0x600 is less bad than using '0'. While initializing EDX to '0' is _extremely_ unlikely to be noticed by the guest, let alone break the guest, and can be overridden by userspace for the RESET case, using 0x600 is preferable as it will allow consolidating the relevant VMX and SVM RESET/INIT logic in the future. And, digging through old specs suggests that neither Intel nor AMD have ever shipped a CPU that initialized EDX to '0' at RESET. Regarding 0x600 as KVM's default Family, it is a sane default and in many ways the most appropriate. Prior to the 386 implementations, DX was undefined at RESET. With the 386, 486, 586/P5, and 686/P6/Athlon, both Intel and AMD set EDX to 3, 4, 5, and 6 respectively. AMD switched to using '15' as its primary Family with the introduction of AMD64, but Intel has continued using '6' for the last few decades. So, '6' is a valid Family for both Intel and AMD CPUs, is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs (albeit not a perfect fit for 64-bit AMD), and of the common Families (3 - 6), is the best fit with respect to KVM's virtual CPU model. E.g. prior to the P6, Intel CPUs did not have a STI window. Modern operating systems, Linux included, rely on the STI window, e.g. for "safe halt", and KVM unconditionally assumes the virtual CPU has an STI window. Thus enumerating a Family ID of 3, 4, or 5 would be provably wrong. Opportunistically remove a stale comment.

Do not allow an inexact CPUID "match" when querying the guest's CPUID.0x1 to stuff EDX during INIT. In the common case, where the guest CPU model is an AMD variant, allowing an inexact match is a nop since KVM doesn't emulate Intel's goofy "out-of-range" logic for AMD and Hygon. If the vCPU model happens to be an Intel variant, an inexact match is possible if and only if the max CPUID leaf is precisely '0'. Aside from the fact that there's probably no CPU in existence with a single CPUID leaf, if the max CPUID leaf is '0', that means that CPUID.0.EAX is '0', and thus an inexact match for CPUID.0x1.EAX will also yield '0'. So, with lots of twisty logic, no functional change intended. Reviewed-by:

Set EDX at RESET/INIT based on the userspace-defined CPUID model when possible, i.e. when CPUID.0x1.EAX is defind by userspace. At RESET/INIT, all CPUs that support CPUID set EDX to the FMS enumerated in CPUID.0x1.EAX. If no CPUID match is found, fall back to KVM's default of 0x600 (Family '6'), which is the least awful approximation of KVM's virtual CPU model.

Explicitly set GDTR.base and IDTR.base to zero when intializing the VMCB. Functionally this only affects INIT, as the bases are implicitly set to zero on RESET by virtue of the VMCB being zero allocated.

Set L1's LDTR on VM-Exit per the Intel SDM: The host-state area does not contain a selector field for LDTR. LDTR is established as follows on all VM exits: the selector is cleared to 0000H, the segment is marked unusable and is otherwise undefined (although the base address is always canonical). This is likely a benign bug since the LDTR is unusable, as it means the L1 VMM is conditioned to reload its LDTR in order to function properly on bare metal.

Flush the guest's TLB on INIT, as required by Intel's SDM. Although AMD's APM states that the TLBs are unchanged by INIT, it's not clear that that's correct as the APM also states that the TLB is flush on "External initialization of the processor." Regardless, relying on the guest to be paranoid is unnecessarily risky, while an unnecessary flush is benign from a functional perspective and likely has no measurable impact on guest performance. Note, as of the April 2021 version of Intels' SDM, it also contradicts itself with respect to TLB flushing. The overview of INIT explicitly calls out the TLBs as being invalidated, while a table later in the same section says they are unchanged. 9.1 INITIALIZATION OVERVIEW: The major difference is that during an INIT, the internal caches, MSRs, MTRRs, and x87 FPU state are left unchanged (although, the TLBs and BTB are invalidated as with a hardware reset) Table 9-1: Register Power up Reset INIT Data and Code Cache, TLBs: Invalid[6] Invalid[6] Unchanged Given Core2's erratum[*] about global TLB entries not being flush on INIT, it's safe to assume that the table is simply wrong. AZ28. INIT Does Not Clear Global Entries in the TLB Problem: INIT may not flush a TLB entry when: • The processor is in protected mode with paging enabled and the page global enable flag is set (PGE bit of CR4 register) • G bit for the page table entry is set • TLB entry is present in TLB when INIT occurs • Software may encounter unexpected page fault or incorrect address translation due to a TLB entry erroneously left in TLB after INIT. Workaround: Write to CR3, CR4 (setting bits PSE, PGE or PAE) or CR0 (setting bits PG or PE) registers before writing to memory early in BIOS code to clear all the global entries from TLB. Status: For the steppings affected, see the Summary Tables of Changes.

Special case of disabling the APICv on the current vCPU right away in kvm_request_apicv_update doesn't bring much benefit vs raising KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE on it instead, since this request will be processed on the next entry to the guest. (the comment about having another #VMEXIT is wrong). It also hides various assumptions that APIVc enable state matches the APICv inhibit state, as this special case only makes those states match on the current vCPU. Previous patches fixed few such assumptions so now it should be safe to drop this special case. Signed-off-by:

Once an exception has been injected, any side effects related to the exception (such as setting CR2 or DR6) have been taked place. Therefore, once KVM sets the VM-entry interruption information field or the AMD EVENTINJ field, the next VM-entry must deliver that exception. Pending interrupts are processed after injected exceptions, so in theory it would not be a problem to use KVM_INTERRUPT when an injected exception is present. However, DOSEMU is using run->ready_for_interrupt_injection to detect interrupt windows and then using KVM_SET_SREGS/KVM_SET_REGS to inject the interrupt manually. For this to work, the interrupt window must be delayed after the completion of the previous event injection. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by:

SMT siblings share caches and other hardware, and busy halt polling will degrade its sibling performance if its sibling is working Sean Christopherson suggested as below: "Rather than disallowing halt-polling entirely, on x86 it should be sufficient to simply have the hardware thread yield to its sibling(s) via PAUSE. It probably won't get back all performance, but I would expect it to be close. This compiles on all KVM architectures, and AFAICT the intended usage of cpu_relax() is identical for all architectures." Suggested-by:

Currently when SVM is enabled in guest CPUID, AVIC is inhibited as soon as the guest CPUID is set. AVIC happens to be fully disabled on all vCPUs by the time any guest entry starts (if after migration the entry can be nested). The reason is that currently we disable avic right away on vCPU from which the kvm_request_apicv_update was called and for this case, it happens to be called on all vCPUs (by svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid). After we stop doing this, AVIC will end up being disabled only when KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE is processed which is after we done switching to the nested guest. Fix this by just using vmcb01 in svm_refresh_apicv_exec_ctrl for avic (which is a right thing to do anyway). Signed-off-by:

This test measures the performance effects of KVM's access tracking. Access tracking is driven by the MMU notifiers test_young, clear_young, and clear_flush_young. These notifiers do not have a direct userspace API, however the clear_young notifier can be triggered by marking a pages as idle in /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. This test leverages that mechanism to enable access tracking on guest memory. To measure performance this test runs a VM with a configurable number of vCPUs that each touch every page in disjoint regions of memory. Performance is measured in the time it takes all vCPUs to finish touching their predefined region. Example invocation: $ ./access_tracking_perf_test -v 8 Testing guest mode: PA-bits:ANY, VA-bits:48, 4K pages guest physical test memory offset: 0xffdfffff000 Populating memory : 1.337752570s Writing to populated memory : 0.010177640s Reading from populated memory : 0.009548239s Mark memory idle : 23.973131748s Writing to idle memory : 0.063584496s Mark memory idle : 24.924652964s Reading from idle memory : 0.062042814s Breaking down the results: * "Populating memory": The time it takes for all vCPUs to perform the first write to every page in their region. * "Writing to populated memory" / "Reading from populated memory": The time it takes for all vCPUs to write and read to every page in their region after it has been populated. This serves as a control for the later results. * "Mark memory idle": The time it takes for every vCPU to mark every page in their region as idle through page_idle. * "Writing to idle memory" / "Reading from idle memory": The time it takes for all vCPUs to write and read to every page in their region after it has been marked idle. This test should be portable across architectures but it is only enabled for x86_64 since that's all I have tested. Reviewed-by:
