Use KVM's "user return MSRs" framework to defer restoring the host's MSR_TSC_AUX until the CPU returns to userspace. Add/improve comments to clarify why MSR_TSC_AUX is intercepted on both RDMSR and WRMSR, and why it's safe for KVM to keep the guest's value loaded even if KVM is scheduled out.

Force clear bits 63:32 of MSR_TSC_AUX on write to emulate current AMD CPUs, which completely ignore the upper 32 bits, including dropping them on write. Emulating AMD hardware will also allow migrating a vCPU from AMD hardware to Intel hardware without requiring userspace to manually clear the upper bits, which are reserved on Intel hardware. Presumably, MSR_TSC_AUX[63:32] are intended to be reserved on AMD, but sadly the APM doesn't say _anything_ about those bits in the context of MSR access. The RDTSCP entry simply states that RCX contains bits 31:0 of the MSR, zero extended. And even worse is that the RDPID description implies that it can consume all 64 bits of the MSR: RDPID reads the value of TSC_AUX MSR used by the RDTSCP instruction into the specified destination register. Normal operand size prefixes do not apply and the update is either 32 bit or 64 bit based on the current mode. Emulate current hardware behavior to give KVM the best odds of playing nice with whatever the behavior of future AMD CPUs happens to be.

Invert the inline declarations of the MSR interception helpers between the wrapper, vmx_set_intercept_for_msr(), and the core implementations, vmx_{dis,en}able_intercept_for_msr(). Letting the compiler _not_ inline the implementation reduces KVM's code footprint by ~3k bytes. Back when the helpers were added in commit 904e14fb ("KVM: VMX: make MSR bitmaps per-VCPU"), both the wrapper and the implementations were __always_inline because the end code distilled down to a few conditionals and a bit operation. Today, the implementations involve a variety of checks and bit ops in order to support userspace MSR filtering. Furthermore, the vast majority of calls to manipulate MSR interception are not performance sensitive, e.g. vCPU creation and x2APIC toggling. On the other hand, the one path that is performance sensitive, dynamic LBR passthrough, uses the wrappers, i.e. is largely untouched by inverting the inlining. In short, forcing the low level MSR interception code to be inlined no longer makes sense. No functional change intended.

Commit f1c6366e ("KVM: SVM: Add required changes to support intercepts under SEV-ES") prevents hypervisor accesses guest register state when the guest is running under SEV-ES. The initial value of vcpu->arch.guest_state_protected is false, it will not be updated in preemption notifiers after this commit which means that the kernel spinlock lock holder will always be skipped to boost. Let's fix it by always treating preempted is in the guest kernel mode, false positive is better than skip completely.

Async PF 'page ready' event may happen when LAPIC is (temporary) disabled. In particular, Sebastien reports that when Linux kernel is directly booted by Cloud Hypervisor, LAPIC is 'software disabled' when APF mechanism is initialized. On initialization KVM tries to inject 'wakeup all' event and puts the corresponding token to the slot. It is, however, failing to inject an interrupt (kvm_apic_set_irq() -> __apic_accept_irq() -> !apic_enabled()) so the guest never gets notified and the whole APF mechanism gets stuck. The same issue is likely to happen if the guest temporary disables LAPIC and a previously unavailable page becomes available. Do two things to resolve the issue: - Avoid dequeuing 'page ready' events from APF queue when LAPIC is disabled. - Trigger an attempt to deliver pending 'page ready' events when LAPIC becomes enabled (SPIV or MSR_IA32_APICBASE).

Take "enum kvm_only_cpuid_leafs" in scattered specific CPUID helpers (which is obvious in hindsight), and use "unsigned int" for leafs that can be the kernel's standard "enum cpuid_leaf" or the aforementioned KVM-only variant. Loss of the enum params is a bit disapponting, but gcc obviously isn't providing any extra sanity checks, and the various BUILD_BUG_ON() assertions ensure the input is in range. This fixes implicit enum conversions that are detected by clang-11: arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.c:499:29: warning: implicit conversion from enumeration type 'enum kvm_only_cpuid_leafs' to different enumeration type 'enum cpuid_leafs' [-Wenum-conversion] kvm_cpu_cap_init_scattered(CPUID_12_EAX, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^~~~~~~~~~~~ arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.c:837:31: warning: implicit conversion from enumeration type 'enum kvm_only_cpuid_leafs' to different enumeration type 'enum cpuid_leafs' [-Wenum-conversion] cpuid_entry_override(entry, CPUID_12_EAX); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^~~~~~~~~~~~ 2 warnings generated.

Use the local stack to "allocate" the structures used to communicate with the PSP. The largest struct used by KVM, sev_data_launch_secret, clocks in at 52 bytes, well within the realm of reasonable stack usage. The smallest structs are a mere 4 bytes, i.e. the pointer for the allocation is larger than the allocation itself. Now that the PSP driver plays nice with vmalloc pointers, putting the data on a virtually mapped stack (CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y) will not cause explosions.

Copy the incoming @data comman to an internal buffer so that callers can put SEV command buffers on the stack without running afoul of CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y, i.e. without bombing on vmalloc'd pointers. As of today, the largest supported command takes a 68 byte buffer, i.e. pretty much every command can be put on the stack. Because sev_cmd_mutex is held for the entirety of a transaction, only a single bounce buffer is required. Use the internal buffer unconditionally, as the majority of in-kernel users will soon switch to using the stack. At that point, checking virt_addr_valid() becomes (negligible) overhead in most cases, and supporting both paths slightly increases complexity. Since the commands are all quite small, the cost of the copies is insignificant compared to the latency of communicating with the PSP. Allocate a full page for the buffer as opportunistic preparation for SEV-SNP, which requires the command buffer to be in firmware state for commands that trigger memory writes from the PSP firmware. Using a full page now will allow SEV-SNP support to simply transition the page as needed.

WARN on and reject SEV commands that provide a valid data pointer, but do not have a known, non-zero length. And conversely, reject commands that take a command buffer but none is provided (data is null). Aside from sanity checking input, disallowing a non-null pointer without a non-zero size will allow a future patch to cleanly handle vmalloc'd data by copying the data to an internal __pa() friendly buffer. Note, this also effectively prevents callers from using commands that have a non-zero length and are not known to the kernel. This is not an explicit goal, but arguably the side effect is a good thing from the kernel's perspective.

Explicitly reject using pointers that are not virt_to_phys() friendly as the source for SEV commands that are sent to the PSP. The PSP works with physical addresses, and __pa()/virt_to_phys() will not return the correct address in these cases, e.g. for a vmalloc'd pointer. At best, the bogus address will cause the command to fail, and at worst lead to system instability. While it's unlikely that callers will deliberately use a bad pointer for SEV buffers, a caller can easily use a vmalloc'd pointer unknowingly when running with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y as it's not obvious that putting the command buffers on the stack would be bad. The command buffers are relative small and easily fit on the stack, and the APIs to do not document that the incoming pointer must be a physically contiguous, __pa() friendly pointer.

Both lock holder vCPU and IPI receiver that has halted are condidate for boost. However, the PLE handler was originally designed to deal with the lock holder preemption problem. The Intel PLE occurs when the spinlock waiter is in kernel mode. This assumption doesn't hold for IPI receiver, they can be in either kernel or user mode. the vCPU candidate in user mode will not be boosted even if they should respond to IPIs. Some benchmarks like pbzip2, swaptions etc do the TLB shootdown in kernel mode and most of the time they are running in user mode. It can lead to a large number of continuous PLE events because the IPI sender causes PLE events repeatedly until the receiver is scheduled while the receiver is not candidate for a boost. This patch boosts the vCPU candidiate in user mode which is delivery interrupt. We can observe the speed of pbzip2 improves 10% in 96 vCPUs VM in over-subscribe scenario (The host machine is 2 socket, 48 cores, 96 HTs Intel CLX box). There is no performance regression for other benchmarks like Unixbench spawn (most of the time contend read/write lock in kernel mode), ebizzy (most of the time contend read/write sem and TLB shoodtdown in kernel mode).

This fixes a bug that can trigger with e.g. "taskset -c 0 ./dirty_log_test" or when the testing host is very busy. A similar previous attempt is done [1] but that is not enough, the reason is stated in the reply [2]. As a summary (partly quotting from [2]): The problem is I think one guest memory write operation (of this specific test) contains a few micro-steps when page is during kvm dirty tracking (here I'm only considering write-protect rather than pml but pml should be similar at least when the log buffer is full): (1) Guest read 'iteration' number into register, prepare to write, page fault (2) Set dirty bit in either dirty bitmap or dirty ring (3) Return to guest, data written When we verify the data, we assumed that all these steps are "atomic", say, when (1) happened for this page, we assume (2) & (3) must have happened. We had some trick to workaround "un-atomicity" of above three steps, as previous version of this patch wanted to fix atomicity of step (2)+(3) by explicitly letting the main thread wait for at least one vmenter of vcpu thread, which should work. However what I overlooked is probably that we still have race when (1) and (2) can be interrupted. One example calltrace when it could happen that we read an old interation, got interrupted before even setting the dirty bit and flushing data: __schedule+1742 __cond_resched+52 __get_user_pages+530 get_user_pages_unlocked+197 hva_to_pfn+206 try_async_pf+132 direct_page_fault+320 kvm_mmu_page_fault+103 vmx_handle_exit+288 vcpu_enter_guest+2460 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+325 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+526 __x64_sys_ioctl+131 do_syscall_64+51 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+68 It means iteration number cached in vcpu register can be very old when dirty bit set and data flushed. So far I don't see an easy way to guarantee all steps 1-3 atomicity but to sync at the GUEST_SYNC() point of guest code when we do verification of the dirty bits as what this patch does.

Add a capability for userspace to mirror SEV encryption context from one vm to another. On our side, this is intended to support a Migration Helper vCPU, but it can also be used generically to support other in-guest workloads scheduled by the host. The intention is for the primary guest and the mirror to have nearly identical memslots. The primary benefits of this are that: 1) The VMs do not share KVM contexts (think APIC/MSRs/etc), so they can't accidentally clobber each other. 2) The VMs can have different memory-views, which is necessary for post-copy migration (the migration vCPUs on the target need to read and write to pages, when the primary guest would VMEXIT). This does not change the threat model for AMD SEV. Any memory involved is still owned by the primary guest and its initial state is still attested to through the normal SEV_LAUNCH_* flows. If userspace wanted to circumvent SEV, they could achieve the same effect by simply attaching a vCPU to the primary VM. This patch deliberately leaves userspace in charge of the memslots for the mirror, as it already has the power to mess with them in the primary guest. This patch does not support SEV-ES (much less SNP), as it does not handle handing off attested VMSAs to the mirror. For additional context, we need a Migration Helper because SEV PSP migration is far too slow for our live migration on its own. Using an in-guest migrator lets us speed this up significantly.
