commit bd768e14 upstream. vcpu->arch.wbinvd_dirty_mask may still be used after freeing it, corrupting memory. For example, the following call trace may set a bit in an already freed cpu mask: kvm_arch_vcpu_load vcpu_load vmx_free_vcpu_nested vmx_free_vcpu kvm_arch_vcpu_free Fix this by deferring freeing of wbinvd_dirty_mask.

TSC_OFFSET will be adjusted if discovers TSC backward during vCPU load. The preemption timer, which relies on the guest tsc to reprogram its preemption timer value, is also reprogrammed if vCPU is scheded in to a different pCPU. However, the current implementation reprogram preemption timer before TSC_OFFSET is adjusted to the right value, resulting in the preemption timer firing prematurely. This patch fix it by adjusting TSC_OFFSET before reprogramming preemption timer if TSC backward.

Install the callbacks via the state machine and let the core invoke the callbacks on the already online CPUs. We assumed that the priority ordering was ment to invoke the online callback as the last step. In the original code this also invoked the down prepare callback as the last step. With the symmetric state machine the down prepare callback is now the first step. Signed-off-by:

Since the following commit: 1cf4f629 ("cpu/hotplug: Move online calls to hotplugged cpu") ... the CPU_ONLINE and CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are always run on the hot plugged CPU, and as of commit: 3b9d6da6 ("cpu/hotplug: Fix rollback during error-out in __cpu_disable()") the CPU_DOWN_FAILED notifier also runs on the hot plugged CPU. This patch converts the SMP functional calls into direct calls. smp_function_call_single() executes the function with interrupts disabled. This calling convention is not preserved because there is no reason to do so. Signed-off-by:

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file. This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. In the case of kvm where it is modular, we can extend that to also include files that are building basic support functionality but not related to loading or registering the final module; such files also have no need whatsoever for module.h The advantage in removing such instances is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using. Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each instance for the presence of either and replace as needed. Several instances got replaced with moduleparam.h since that was really all that was required for those particular files. Signed-off-by:

kzalloc was replaced with kvm_kvzalloc to allow non-contiguous areas and rcu had to be modified to cope with it. The practical limit for KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID right now is INT_MAX, but lower value was chosen in case there were bugs. 1023 is sufficient maximum APIC ID for 288 VCPUs. Signed-off-by:

Add KVM_X2APIC_API_DISABLE_BROADCAST_QUIRK as a feature flag to KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API. The quirk made KVM interpret 0xff as a broadcast even in x2APIC mode. The enableable capability is needed in order to support standard x2APIC and remain backward compatible. Signed-off-by:

Radim Krčmář authored
KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API is a capability for features related to x2APIC enablement. KVM_X2APIC_API_32BIT_FORMAT feature can be enabled to extend APIC ID in get/set ioctl and MSI addresses to 32 bits. Both are needed to support x2APIC. The feature has to be enableable and disabled by default, because get/set ioctl shifted and truncated APIC ID to 8 bits by using a non-standard protocol inspired by xAPIC and the change is not backward-compatible. Changes to MSI addresses follow the format used by interrupt remapping unit. The upper address word, that used to be 0, contains upper 24 bits of the LAPIC address in its upper 24 bits. Lower 8 bits are reserved as 0. Using the upper address word is not backward-compatible either as we didn't check that userspace zeroed the word. Reserved bits are still not explicitly checked, but non-zero data will affect LAPIC addresses, which will cause a bug. Signed-off-by:

We currently always shift APIC ID as if APIC was in xAPIC mode. x2APIC mode wants to use more bits and storing a hardware-compabible value is the the sanest option. KVM API to set the lapic expects that bottom 8 bits of APIC ID are in top 8 bits of APIC_ID register, so the register needs to be shifted in x2APIC mode. Signed-off-by:

KVM reads the current boottime value as a struct timespec in order to calculate the guest wallclock time, resulting in an overflow in 2038 on 32-bit systems. The data then gets passed as an unsigned 32-bit number to the guest, and that in turn overflows in 2106. We cannot do much about the second overflow, which affects both 32-bit and 64-bit hosts, but we can ensure that they both behave the same way and don't overflow until 2106, by using getboottime64() to read a timespec64 value.

This includes: checking if the feature is supported, if the feature is broken on the CPU, the hooks to setup/clean the VMX preemption timer, arming the timer on vmentry and handling the vmexit.

The VMX preemption timer can be used to virtualize the TSC deadline timer. The VMX preemption timer is armed when the vCPU is running, and a VMExit will happen if the virtual TSC deadline timer expires. When the vCPU thread is blocked because of HLT, KVM will switch to use an hrtimer, and then go back to the VMX preemption timer when the vCPU thread is unblocked. This solution avoids the complex OS's hrtimer system, and the host timer interrupt handling cost, replacing them with a little math (for guest->host TSC and host TSC->preemption timer conversion) and a cheaper VMexit. This benefits latency for isolated pCPUs. [A word about performance... Yunhong reported a 30% reduction in average latency from cyclictest. I made a similar test with tscdeadline_latency from kvm-unit-tests, and measured - ~20 clock cycles loss (out of ~3200, so less than 1% but still statistically significant) in the worst case where the test halts just after programming the TSC deadline timer - ~800 clock cycles gain (25% reduction in latency) in the best case where the test busy waits. I removed the VMX bits from Yunhong's patch, to concentrate them in the next patch - Paolo] Signed-off-by:

The new created_vcpus field makes it possible to avoid the race between irqchip and VCPU creation in a much nicer way; just check under kvm->lock whether a VCPU has already been created. We can then remove KVM_APIC_ARCHITECTURE too, because at this point the symbol is only governing the default definition of kvm_vcpu_compatible. Signed-off-by:

I've been carrying this patch around for a bit and it's helped me solve at least a couple FPU-related bugs. In addition to using it for debugging, I also drug it out because using AVX (and AVX2/AVX-512) can have serious power consequences for a modern core. It's very important to be able to figure out who is using it. It's also insanely useful to go out and see who is using a given feature, like MPX or Memory Protection Keys. If you, for instance, want to find all processes using protection keys, you can do: echo 'xfeatures & 0x200' > filter Since 0x200 is the protection keys feature bit. Note that this touches the KVM code. KVM did a CREATE_TRACE_POINTS and then included a bunch of random headers. If anyone one of those included other tracepoints, it would have defined the *OTHER* tracepoints. That's bogus, so move it to the right place. Signed-off-by:

The syzkaller folks reported a NULL pointer dereference that seems to be cause by a race between KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP and KVM_CREATE_PIT2. The former takes kvm->lock (except when registering the devices, which needs kvm->slots_lock); the latter takes kvm->slots_lock only. Change KVM_CREATE_PIT2 to follow the same model as KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP.

Paolo Bonzini authored
If the processor exits to KVM while delivering an interrupt, the hypervisor then requeues the interrupt for the next vmentry. Trying to enter SMM in this same window causes to enter non-root mode in emulated SMM (i.e. with IF=0) and with a request to inject an IRQ (i.e. with a valid VM-entry interrupt info field). This is invalid guest state (SDM 26.3.1.4 "Check on Guest RIP and RFLAGS") and the processor fails vmentry. The fix is to defer the injection from KVM_REQ_SMI to KVM_REQ_EVENT, like we already do for e.g. NMIs. This patch doesn't change the name of the process_smi function so that it can be applied to stable releases. The next patch will modify the names so that process_nmi and process_smi handle respectively KVM_REQ_NMI and KVM_REQ_SMI. This is especially common with Windows, probably due to the self-IPI trick that it uses to deliver deferred procedure calls (DPCs). Reported-by:

Intel CPUs having Turbo Boost feature implement an MSR to provide a control interface via rdmsr/wrmsr instructions. One could detect the presence of this feature by issuing one of these instructions and handling the #GP exception which is generated in case the referenced MSR is not implemented by the CPU. KVM's vCPU model behaves exactly as a real CPU in this case by injecting a fault when MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL is called (which KVM does not support). However, some operating systems use this register during an early boot stage in which their kernel is not capable of handling #GP correctly, causing #DP and finally a triple fault effectively resetting the vCPU. This patch implements a dummy handler for MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL to avoid the crashes. Signed-off-by:

Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough. This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests. This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls. For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll. This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor, we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though. This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP while still providing a proper speedup. This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks wakeups that are considered not good for polling. Signed-off-by:

Hypervisor may write an odd number to version field to indicate that an update is in progress. kvm_steal_clock() in guest has already done the read side, make write side in hypervisor more robust by following the above rule.

Since accumulate_steal_time is now only called in record_steal_time, it doesn't quite make sense to put the delta calculation in a separate function. The function could be called thousands of times before guest enables the steal time MSR (though the compiler may optimize out this function call). And after it's enabled, the MSR enable bit is tested twice every time. Removing the accumulate_steal_time function also avoids the necessity of having the accum_steal field. Signed-off-by:

An interrupt handler that uses the fpu can kill a KVM VM, if it runs under the following conditions: - the guest's xcr0 register is loaded on the cpu - the guest's fpu context is not loaded - the host is using eagerfpu Note that the guest's xcr0 register and fpu context are not loaded as part of the atomic world switch into "guest mode". They are loaded by KVM while the cpu is still in "host mode". Usage of the fpu in interrupt context is gated by irq_fpu_usable(). The interrupt handler will look something like this: if (irq_fpu_usable()) { kernel_fpu_begin(); [... code that uses the fpu ...] kernel_fpu_end(); } As long as the guest's fpu is not loaded and the host is using eager fpu, irq_fpu_usable() returns true (interrupted_kernel_fpu_idle() returns true). The interrupt handler proceeds to use the fpu with the guest's xcr0 live. kernel_fpu_begin() saves the current fpu context. If this uses XSAVE[OPT], it may leave the xsave area in an undesirable state. According to the SDM, during XSAVE bit i of XSTATE_BV is not modified if bit i is 0 in xcr0. So it's possible that XSTATE_BV[i] == 1 and xcr0[i] == 0 following an XSAVE. kernel_fpu_end() restores the fpu context. Now if any bit i in XSTATE_BV == 1 while xcr0[i] == 0, XRSTOR generates a #GP. The fault is trapped and SIGSEGV is delivered to the current process. Only pre-4.2 kernels appear to be vulnerable to this sequence of events. Commit 653f52c3 ("kvm,x86: load guest FPU context more eagerly") from 4.2 forces the guest's fpu to always be loaded on eagerfpu hosts. This patch fixes the bug by keeping the host's xcr0 loaded outside of the interrupts-disabled region where KVM switches into guest mode.

Non maskable interrupts (NMI) are preferred to interrupts in current implementation. If a NMI is pending and NMI is blocked by the result of nmi_allowed(), pending interrupt is not injected and enable_irq_window() is not executed, even if interrupts injection is allowed. In old kernel (e.g. 2.6.32), schedule() is often called in NMI context. In this case, interrupts are needed to execute iret that intends end of NMI. The flag of blocking new NMI is not cleared until the guest execute the iret, and interrupts are blocked by pending NMI. Due to this, iret can't be invoked in the guest, and the guest is starved until block is cleared by some events (e.g. canceling injection). This patch injects pending interrupts, when it's allowed, even if NMI is blocked. And, If an interrupts is pending after executing inject_pending_event(), enable_irq_window() is executed regardless of NMI pending counter. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

X86_FEATURE_PKU is referred to as "PKU" in the hardware documentation: CPUID.7.0.ECX[3]:PKU. X86_FEATURE_OSPKE is software support for pkeys, enumerated with CPUID.7.0.ECX[4]:OSPKE, and it reflects the setting of CR4.PKE(bit 22). This patch disables CPUID:PKU without ept, because pkeys is not yet implemented for shadow paging. Signed-off-by:
