Use the MMU's role to get CR4.PSE when determining the last level at which the guest _cannot_ create a non-leaf PTE, i.e. cannot create a huge page. Note, the existing logic is arguably wrong when considering 5-level paging and the case where 1gb pages aren't supported. In practice, the logic is confusing but not broken, because except for 32-bit non-PAE paging, bit 7 (_PAGE_PSE) bit is reserved when a huge page isn't supported at that level. I.e. setting bit 7 will terminate the guest walk one way or another. Furthermore, last_nonleaf_level is only consulted after KVM has verified there are no reserved bits set. All that confusion will be addressed in a future patch by dropping last_nonleaf_level entirely. For now, massage the code to continue the march toward using mmu_role for (almost) all MMU computations. Signed-off-by:

Use the MMU's role to calculate the Protection Keys (Restrict Userspace) bitmask instead of pulling bits from current vCPU state. For some flows, the vCPU state may not be correct (or relevant), e.g. EPT doesn't interact with PKRU. Case in point, the "ept" param simply disappears. Signed-off-by:

Drop the vCPU param from __reset_rsvds_bits_mask() as it's now unused, and ideally will remain unused in the future. Any information that's needed by the low level helper should be explicitly provided as it's used for both shadow/host MMUs and guest MMUs, i.e. vCPU state may be meaningless or simply wrong.

Use the MMU's role to get CR4.PSE when calculating reserved bits for the guest's PTEs. Practically speaking, this is a glorified nop as the role always come from vCPU state for the relevant flows, but converting to the roles will provide consistency once everything else is converted, and will Just Work if the "always comes from vCPU" behavior were ever to change (unlikely).

Refactor shadow MMU initialization to immediately set its new mmu_role after verifying it differs from the old role, and so that all flavors of MMU initialization share the same check-and-set pattern. Immediately setting the role will allow future commits to use mmu_role to configure the MMU without consuming stale state. Signed-off-by:

Don't set cr4_pke or cr4_la57 in the MMU role if long mode isn't active, which is required for protection keys and 5-level paging to be fully enabled. Ignoring the bit avoids unnecessary reconfiguration on reuse, and also means consumers of mmu_role don't need to manually check for long mode. Signed-off-by:

Don't set CR0/CR4/EFER bits in the MMU role if paging is disabled, paging modifiers are irrelevant if there is no paging in the first place. Somewhat arbitrarily clear gpte_is_8_bytes for shadow paging if paging is disabled in the guest. Again, there are no guest PTEs to process, so the size is meaningless. Signed-off-by:

Rename "nxe" to "efer_nx" so that future macro magic can use the pattern <reg>_<bit> for all CR0, CR4, and EFER bits that included in the role. Using "efer_nx" also makes it clear that the role bit reflects EFER.NX, not the NX bit in the corresponding PTE. Signed-off-by:

Do not incorporate CR0/CR4 bits into the role for the nested EPT MMU, as EPT behavior is not influenced by CR0/CR4. Note, this is the guest_mmu, (L1's EPT), not nested_mmu (L2's IA32 paging); the nested_mmu does need CR0/CR4, and is initialized in a separate flow. Signed-off-by:

Sean Christopherson authored
Introduce "struct kvm_mmu_role_regs" to hold the register state that is incorporated into the mmu_role. For nested TDP, the register state that is factored into the MMU isn't vCPU state; the dedicated struct will be used to propagate the correct state throughout the flows without having to pass multiple params, and also provides helpers for the various flag accessors. Intentionally make the new helpers cumbersome/ugly by prepending four underscores. In the not-too-distant future, it will be preferable to use the mmu_role to query bits as the mmu_role can drop irrelevant bits without creating contradictions, e.g. clearing CR4 bits when CR0.PG=0. Reserve the clean helper names (no underscores) for the mmu_role. Add a helper for vCPU conversion, which is the common case. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by:

Use the mmu_role to initialize shadow root level instead of assuming the level of KVM's shadow root (host) is the same as that of the guest root, or in the case of 32-bit non-PAE paging where KVM forces PAE paging. For nested NPT, the shadow root level cannot be adapted to L1's NPT root level and is instead always the TDP root level because NPT uses the current host CR0/CR4/EFER, e.g. 64-bit KVM can't drop into 32-bit PAE to shadow L1's NPT.

Grab all CR0/CR4 MMU role bits from current vCPU state when initializing a non-nested shadow MMU. Extract the masks from kvm_post_set_cr{0,4}(), as the CR0/CR4 update masks must exactly match the mmu_role bits, with one exception (see below). The "full" CR0/CR4 will be used by future commits to initialize the MMU and its role, as opposed to the current approach of pulling everything from vCPU, which is incorrect for certain flows, e.g. nested NPT. CR4.LA57 is an exception, as it can be toggled on VM-Exit (for L1's MMU) but can't be toggled via MOV CR4 while long mode is active. I.e. LA57 needs to be in the mmu_role, but technically doesn't need to be checked by kvm_post_set_cr4(). However, the extra check is completely benign as the hardware restrictions simply mean LA57 will never be _the_ cause of a MMU reset during MOV CR4. Signed-off-by: -

Drop the smep_andnot_wp role check from the "uses NX" calculation now that all non-nested shadow MMUs treat NX as used via the !TDP check. The shadow MMU for nested NPT, which shares the helper, does not need to deal with SMEP (or WP) as NPT walks are always "user" accesses and WP is explicitly noted as being ignored: Table walks for guest page tables are always treated as user writes at the nested page table level. A table walk for the guest page itself is always treated as a user access at the nested page table level The host hCR0.WP bit is ignored under nested paging. Signed-off-by:

Add a comment in the nested NPT initialization flow to call out that it intentionally uses vmcb01 instead current vCPU state to get the effective hCR4 and hEFER for L1's NPT context. Note, despite nSVM's efforts to handle the case where vCPU state doesn't reflect L1 state, the MMU may still do the wrong thing due to pulling state from the vCPU instead of the passed in CR0/CR4/EFER values. This will be addressed in future commits. Signed-off-by:

When configuring KVM's MMU, pass CR0 and CR4 as unsigned longs, and EFER as a u64 in various flows (mostly MMU). Passing the params as u32s is functionally ok since all of the affected registers reserve bits 63:32 to zero (enforced by KVM), but it's technically wrong. No functional change intended.

Nove the kvm_unlink_unsync_page() call out of kvm_sync_page() and into it's sole caller, and fold __kvm_sync_page() into kvm_sync_page() since the latter becomes a pure pass-through. There really should be no reason for code to do a complete sync of a shadow page outside of the full kvm_mmu_sync_roots(), e.g. the one use case that creeped in turned out to be flawed and counter-productive.

When synchronizing a shadow page, WARN and zap the page if its mmu role isn't compatible with the current MMU context, where "compatible" is an exact match sans the bits that have no meaning in the overall MMU context or will be explicitly overwritten during the sync. Many of the helpers used by sync_page() are specific to the current context, updating a SMM vs. non-SMM shadow page would use the wrong memslots, updating L1 vs. L2 PTEs might work but would be extremely bizaree, and so on and so forth. Drop the guard with respect to 8-byte vs. 4-byte PTEs in __kvm_sync_page(), it was made useless when kvm_mmu_get_page() stopped trying to sync shadow pages irrespective of the current MMU context.

Originally, __kvm_sync_page used to check the cr4_pae bit in the role to avoid zapping 4-byte kvm_mmu_pages when guest page size are 8-byte or the other way round. However, in commit 47c42e6b ("KVM: x86: fix handling of role.cr4_pae and rename it to 'gpte_size'", 2019-03-28) it was observed that this did not work for nested EPT, where the page table size would be 8 bytes even if CR4.PAE=0. (Note that the check still has to be done for nested *NPT*, so it is not possible to use tdp_enabled or similar). Therefore, a hack was introduced to identify nested EPT shadow pages and unconditionally call __kvm_sync_page() on them. However, it is possible to do without the hack to identify nested EPT shadow pages: if EPT is active, there will be no shadow pages in non-EPT format, and all of them will have gpte_is_8_bytes set to true; we can just check the MMU role directly, and the test will always be true. Even for non-EPT shadow MMUs, this test should really always be true now that __kvm_sync_page() is called if and only if the role is an exact match (kvm_mmu_get_page()) or is part of the current MMU context (kvm_mmu_sync_roots()). A future commit will convert the likely-pointless check into a meaningful WARN to enforce that the mmu_roles of the current context and the shadow page are compatible.

When creating a new upper-level shadow page, zap unsync shadow pages at the same target gfn instead of attempting to sync the pages. This fixes a bug where an unsync shadow page could be sync'd with an incompatible context, e.g. wrong smm, is_guest, etc... flags. In practice, the bug is relatively benign as sync_page() is all but guaranteed to fail its check that the guest's desired gfn (for the to-be-sync'd page) matches the current gfn associated with the shadow page. I.e. kvm_sync_page() would end up zapping the page anyways. Alternatively, __kvm_sync_page() could be modified to explicitly verify the mmu_role of the unsync shadow page is compatible with the current MMU context. But, except for this specific case, __kvm_sync_page() is called iff the page is compatible, e.g. the transient sync in kvm_mmu_get_page() requires an exact role match, and the call from kvm_sync_mmu_roots() is only synchronizing shadow pages from the current MMU (which better be compatible or KVM has problems). And as described above, attempting to sync shadow pages when creating an upper-level shadow page is unlikely to succeed, e.g. zero successful syncs were observed when running Linux guests despite over a million attempts.

Drop MAXPHYADDR from mmu_role now that all MMUs have their role invalidated after a CPUID update. Invalidating the role forces all MMUs to re-evaluate the guest's MAXPHYADDR, and the guest's MAXPHYADDR can only be changed only through a CPUID update. This reverts commit de3ccd26.

Warn userspace that KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} after KVM_RUN "may" cause guest instability. Initialize last_vmentry_cpu to -1 and use it to detect if the vCPU has been run at least once when its CPUID model is changed. KVM does not correctly handle changes to paging related settings in the guest's vCPU model after KVM_RUN, e.g. MAXPHYADDR, GBPAGES, etc... KVM could theoretically zap all shadow pages, but actually making that happen is a mess due to lock inversion (vcpu->mutex is held). And even then, updating paging settings on the fly would only work if all vCPUs are stopped, updated in concert with identical settings, then restarted. To support running vCPUs with different vCPU models (that affect paging), KVM would need to track all relevant information in kvm_mmu_page_role. Note, that's the _page_ role, not the full mmu_role. Updating mmu_role isn't sufficient as a vCPU can reuse a shadow page translation that was created by a vCPU with different settings and thus completely skip the reserved bit checks (that are tied to CPUID). Tracking CPUID state in kvm_mmu_page_role is _extremely_ undesirable as it would require doubling gfn_track from a u16 to a u32, i.e. would increase KVM's memory footprint by 2 bytes for every 4kb of guest memory. E.g. MAXPHYADDR (6 bits), GBPAGES, AMD vs. INTEL = 1 bit, and SEV C-BIT would all need to be tracked. In practice, there is no remotely sane use case for changing any paging related CPUID entries on the fly, so just sweep it under the rug (after yelling at userspace). Signed-off-by: -

Invalidate all MMUs' roles after a CPUID update to force reinitizliation of the MMU context/helpers. Despite the efforts of commit de3ccd26 ("KVM: MMU: record maximum physical address width in kvm_mmu_extended_role"), there are still a handful of CPUID-based properties that affect MMU behavior but are not incorporated into mmu_role. E.g. 1gb hugepage support, AMD vs. Intel handling of bit 8, and SEV's C-Bit location all factor into the guest's reserved PTE bits. The obvious alternative would be to add all such properties to mmu_role, but doing so provides no benefit over simply forcing a reinitialization on every CPUID update, as setting guest CPUID is a rare operation. Note, reinitializing all MMUs after a CPUID update does not fix all of KVM's woes. Specifically, kvm_mmu_page_role doesn't track the CPUID properties, which means that a vCPU can reuse shadow pages that should not exist for the new vCPU model, e.g. that map GPAs that are now illegal (due to MAXPHYADDR changes) or that set bits that are now reserved (PAGE_SIZE for 1gb pages), etc... Tracking the relevant CPUID properties in kvm_mmu_page_role would address the majority of problems, but fully tracking that much state in the shadow page role comes with an unpalatable cost as it would require a non-trivial increase in KVM's memory footprint. The GBPAGES case is even worse, as neither Intel nor AMD provides a way to disable 1gb hugepage support in the hardware page walker, i.e. it's a virtualization hole that can't be closed when using TDP. In other words, resetting the MMU after a CPUID update is largely a superficial fix. But, it will allow reverting the tracking of MAXPHYADDR in the mmu_role, and that case in particular needs to mostly work because KVM's shadow_root_level depends on guest MAXPHYADDR when 5-level paging is supported. For cases where KVM botches guest behavior, the damage is limited to that guest. But for the shadow_root_level, a misconfigured MMU can cause KVM to incorrectly access memory, e.g. due to walking off the end of its shadow page tables.

Restore CR4.LA57 to the mmu_role to fix an amusing edge case with nested virtualization. When KVM (L0) is using TDP, CR4.LA57 is not reflected in mmu_role.base.level because that tracks the shadow root level, i.e. TDP level. Normally, this is not an issue because LA57 can't be toggled while long mode is active, i.e. the guest has to first disable paging, then toggle LA57, then re-enable paging, thus ensuring an MMU reinitialization. But if L1 is crafty, it can load a new CR4 on VM-Exit and toggle LA57 without having to bounce through an unpaged section. L1 can also load a new CR3 on exit, i.e. it doesn't even need to play crazy paging games, a single entry PML5 is sufficient. Such shenanigans are only problematic if L0 and L1 use TDP, otherwise L1 and L2 share an MMU that gets reinitialized on nested VM-Enter/VM-Exit due to mmu_role.base.guest_mode. Note, in the L2 case with nested TDP, even though L1 can switch between L2s with different LA57 settings, thus bypassing the paging requirement, in that case KVM's nested_mmu will track LA57 in base.level. This reverts commit 8053f924. Fixes: 8053f924 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Drop kvm_mmu_extended_role.cr4_la57 hack") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

Use the MMU's role to get its effective SMEP value when injecting a fault into the guest. When walking L1's (nested) NPT while L2 is active, vCPU state will reflect L2, whereas NPT uses the host's (L1 in this case) CR0, CR4, EFER, etc... If L1 and L2 have different settings for SMEP and L1 does not have EFER.NX=1, this can result in an incorrect PFEC.FETCH when injecting #NPF.

Reset the MMU context at vCPU INIT (and RESET for good measure) if CR0.PG was set prior to INIT. Simply re-initializing the current MMU is not sufficient as the current root HPA may not be usable in the new context. E.g. if TDP is disabled and INIT arrives while the vCPU is in long mode, KVM will fail to switch to the 32-bit pae_root and bomb on the next VM-Enter due to running with a 64-bit CR3 in 32-bit mode. This bug was papered over in both VMX and SVM, but still managed to rear its head in the MMU role on VMX. Because EFER.LMA=1 requires CR0.PG=1, kvm_calc_shadow_mmu_root_page_role() checks for EFER.LMA without first checking CR0.PG. VMX's RESET/INIT flow writes CR0 before EFER, and so an INIT with the vCPU in 64-bit mode will cause the hack-a-fix to generate the wrong MMU role. In VMX, the INIT issue is specific to running without unrestricted guest since unrestricted guest is available if and only if EPT is enabled. Commit 8668a3c4 ("KVM: VMX: Reset mmu context when entering real mode") resolved the issue by forcing a reset when entering emulated real mode. In SVM, commit ebae871a ("kvm: svm: reset mmu on VCPU reset") forced a MMU reset on every INIT to workaround the flaw in common x86. Note, at the time the bug was fixed, the SVM problem was exacerbated by a complete lack of a CR4 update. The vendor resets will be reverted in future patches, primarily to aid bisection in case there are non-INIT flows that rely on the existing VMX logic. Because CR0.PG is unconditionally cleared on INIT, and because CR0.WP and all CR4/EFER paging bits are ignored if CR0.PG=0, simply checking that CR0.PG was '1' prior to INIT/RESET is sufficient to detect a required MMU context reset.

Mark NX as being used for all non-nested shadow MMUs, as KVM will set the NX bit for huge SPTEs if the iTLB mutli-hit mitigation is enabled. Checking the mitigation itself is not sufficient as it can be toggled on at any time and KVM doesn't reset MMU contexts when that happens. KVM could reset the contexts, but that would require purging all SPTEs in all MMUs, for no real benefit. And, KVM already forces EFER.NX=1 when TDP is disabled (for WP=0, SMEP=1, NX=0), so technically NX is never reserved for shadow MMUs.

Remove a misguided WARN that attempts to detect the scenario where using a special A/D tracking flag will set reserved bits on a non-MMIO spte. The WARN triggers false positives when using EPT with 32-bit KVM because of the !64-bit clause, which is just flat out wrong. The whole A/D tracking goo is specific to EPT, and one of the big selling points of EPT is that EPT is decoupled from the host's native paging mode. Drop the WARN instead of trying to salvage the check. Keeping a check specific to A/D tracking bits would essentially regurgitate the same code that led to KVM needed the tracking bits in the first place. A better approach would be to add a generic WARN on reserved bits being set, which would naturally cover the A/D tracking bits, work for all flavors of paging, and be self-documenting to some extent.

This new API provides a file descriptor for every VM and VCPU to read KVM statistics data in binary format. It is meant to provide a lightweight, flexible, scalable and efficient lock-free solution for user space telemetry applications to pull the statistics data periodically for large scale systems. The pulling frequency could be as high as a few times per second. The statistics descriptors are defined by KVM in kernel and can be by userspace to discover VM/VCPU statistics during the one-time setup stage. The statistics data itself could be read out by userspace telemetry periodically without any extra parsing or setup effort. There are a few existed interface protocols and definitions, but no one can fulfil all the requirements this interface implemented as below: 1. During high frequency periodic stats reading, there should be no extra efforts except the stats data read itself. 2. Support stats annotation, like type (cumulative, instantaneous, peak, histogram, etc) and unit (counter, time, size, cycles, etc). 3. The stats data reading should be free of lock/synchronization. We don't care about the consistency between all the stats data. All stats data can not be read out at exactly the same time. We really care about the change or trend of the stats data. The lock-free solution is not just for efficiency and scalability, also for the stats data accuracy and usability. For example, in the situation that all the stats data readings are protected by a global lock, if one VCPU died somehow with that lock held, then all stats data reading would be blocked, then we have no way from stats data that which VCPU has died. 4. The stats data reading workload can be handed over to other unprivileged process. Reviewed-by:
