For a nested KVM guest the outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables for the nested guest. This patch adds the basic support to the guest address space (gmap) code. For each guest address space the inner KVM host creates, the first outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables. The address space is identified by the ASCE loaded into the control register 1 at the time the inner SIE instruction for the second nested KVM guest is executed. The outer KVM host creates the shadow tables starting with the table identified by the ASCE on a on-demand basis. The outer KVM host will get repeated faults for all the shadow tables needed to run the second KVM guest. While a shadow page table for the second KVM guest is active the access to the origin region, segment and page tables needs to be restricted for the first KVM guest. For region and segment and page tables the first KVM guest may read the memory, but write attempt has to lead to an unshadow. This is done using the page invalid and read-only bits in the page table of the first KVM guest. If the first guest re-accesses one of the origin pages of a shadow, it gets a fault and the affected parts of the shadow page table hierarchy needs to be removed again. PGSTE tables don't have to be shadowed, as all interpretation assist can't deal with the invalid bits in the shadow pte being set differently than the original ones provided by the first KVM guest.

Let's use a reference counter mechanism to control the lifetime of gmap structures. This will be needed for further changes related to gmap shadows. Reviewed-by:

The current gmap pte notifier forces a pte into to a read-write state. If the pte is invalidated the gmap notifier is called to inform KVM that the mapping will go away. Extend this approach to allow read-write, read-only and no-access as possible target states and call the pte notifier for any change to the pte. This mechanism is used to temporarily set specific access rights for a pte without doing the heavy work of a true mprotect call. Reviewed-by:

Hook the VMX preemption timer to the "hv timer" functionality added by the previous patch. 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. A module parameter states if the VMX preemption timer should be utilized. Signed-off-by:

Prepare to switch from preemption timer to hrtimer in the vmx_pre/post_block. Current functions are only for posted interrupt, rename them accordingly. Signed-off-by:

Yunhong Jiang authored
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: -
Paolo Bonzini authored
The race between creating the irqchip and the first VCPU is currently fixed by checking the presence of an irqchip before updating kvm->online_vcpus, and undoing the whole VCPU creation if someone created the irqchip in the meanwhile. Instead, introduce a new field in struct kvm that will count VCPUs under a mutex, without the atomic access and memory ordering that we need elsewhere to protect the vcpus array. This also plugs the race and is more easily applicable in all similar circumstances. Reviewed-by:

Initialise the guest's CP0_Config register with a few more bits of information from the host. The BE bit should be set on big endian machines, the VI bit should be set on machines with a virtually tagged instruction cache, and the reported architecture revision should match that of the host (since we won't support emulating pre-r6 instruction encodings on r6 or vice versa).

The comm page which is mapped into the guest kernel address space at 0x0 has the unfortunate side effect of allowing guest kernel NULL pointer dereferences to succeed. The only constraint on this address is that it must be within 32KiB of 0x0, so that single lw/sw instructions (which have 16-bit signed offset fields) can be used to access it, using the zero register as a base. So lets move the comm page as high as possible within that constraint so that 0x0 can be left unmapped, at least for page sizes < 32KiB. Signed-off-by:

Allow up to 6 KVM guest KScratch registers to be enabled and accessed via the KVM guest register API and from the guest itself (the fallback reading and writing of commpage registers is sufficient for KScratch registers to work as expected). User mode can expose the registers by setting the appropriate bits of the guest Config4.KScrExist field. KScratch registers that aren't usable won't be writeable via the KVM Ioctl API. Signed-off-by:

The ULRI bit in Config3 specifies whether the UserLocal register is implemented, but it is assumed to always be set. Now that the Config registers can be modified by userland, allow Config3.ULRI to be cleared and check ULRI before allowing the corresponding bit to be set in HWREna. In fact any HWREna bits corresponding to unimplemented RDHWR registers should read as zero and be ignored on write, so we actually prevent other unimplemented bits being set too. Signed-off-by:

KVM modifies CP0_HWREna during guest execution so it can trap and emulate RDHWR instructions, however it always restores the hardcoded value 0x2000000F. This assumes the presence of the UserLocal register, and the absence of any implementation dependent or future HW registers. Fix by exporting the value that traps.c write into CP0_HWREna, and loading from there instead of hard coding. Signed-off-by:

James Hogan authored
No preprocessor definitions are used in the handling of the registers accessible with the RDHWR instruction, nor the corresponding bits in the CP0 HWREna register. Add definitions for both the register numbers (MIPS_HWR_*) and HWREna bits (MIPS_HWRENA_*) in asm/mipsregs.h and make use of them in the initialisation of HWREna and emulation of the RDHWR instruction.

Make KVM_GET_REG_LIST list FPU & MSA registers. Specifically we list all 32 vector registers when MSA can be enabled, 32 single-precision FP registers when FPU can be enabled, and either 16 or 32 double-precision FP registers when FPU can be enabled depending on whether FR mode is supported (which provides 32 doubles instead of 16 even doubles). Note, these registers may still be inaccessible depending on the current FP mode of the guest. Signed-off-by:

We need to use kvm_mips_guest_can_have_fpu() when deciding which registers to list with KVM_GET_REG_LIST, however it causes warnings with preemption since it uses cpu_has_fpu. KVM is only really supported on CPUs which have symmetric FPUs, so switch to raw_cpu_has_fpu to avoid the warning. Signed-off-by:

Make the implementation of KVM_GET_REG_LIST more dynamic so that only the subset of registers actually available can be exposed to user mode. This is important for VZ where some of the guest register state may not be possible to prevent the guest from accessing, therefore the user process may need to be aware of the state even if it doesn't understand what the state is for. This also allows different MIPS KVM implementations to provide different registers to one another, by way of new num_regs(vcpu) and copy_reg_indices(vcpu, indices) callback functions, currently just stubbed for trap & emulate.

James Hogan authored
The code in kvm_mips_dyntrans.c to write a translated guest instruction to guest memory depending on the segment is duplicated between each of the functions. Additionally the cache op translation functions assume the instruction is in the KSEG0/1 segment rather than KSEG2/3, which is generally true but isn't guaranteed. Factor that code into a new kvm_mips_trans_replace() which handles both KSEG0/1 and KSEG2/3. Signed-off-by:

The MIPS KVM dynamic translation is meant to translate "MFC0 rt, ErrCtl" instructions into "ADD rt, zero, zero" to zero the destination register, however the rt register number was copied into rt of the ADD instruction encoding, which is the 2nd source operand. This results in "ADD zero, zero, rt" which is a no-op, so only the first execution of each such MFC0 from ErrCtl will actually read 0. Fix the shift to put the rt from the MFC0 encoding into the rd field of the ADD. Fixes: 50c83085 ("KVM/MIPS32: Binary patching of select privileged instructions.") Signed-off-by:

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-next-4.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into HEAD KVM: s390: Features and fixes for 4.8 part1 Four bigger things: 1. The implementation of the STHYI opcode in the kernel. This is used in libraries like qclib [1] to provide enough information for a capacity and usage based software licence pricing. The STHYI content is defined by the related z/VM documentation [2]. Its data can be composed by accessing several other interfaces provided by LPAR or the machine. This information is partially sensitive or root-only so the kernel does the necessary filtering. 2. Preparation for nested virtualization (VSIE). KVM should query the proper sclp interfaces for the availability of some features before using it. In the past we have been sloppy and simply assumed that several features are available. With this we should be able to handle most cases of a missing feature. 3. CPU model interfaces extended by some additional features that are not covered by a facility bit in STFLE. For example all the crypto instructions of the coprocessor provide a query function. As reality tends to be more complex (e.g. export regulations might block some algorithms) we have to provide additional interfaces to query or set these non-stfle features. 4. Several fixes and changes detected and fixed when doing 1-3. All features change base s390 code. All relevant patches have an ACK from the s390 or component maintainers. The next pull request for 4.8 (part2) will contain the implementation of VSIE.
