Now that ia64 is gone, we can hide deprecated device assignment in x86. Notable changes: - kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device() was moved to x86/kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() The easy parts were removed from generic kvm code, remaining - kvm_iommu_(un)map_pages() would require new code to be moved - struct kvm_assigned_dev_kernel depends on struct kvm_irq_ack_notifier Signed-off-by:

KVM ia64 is no longer present so new applications shouldn't use them. The main problem is that they most likely didn't work even before, because of a conflict in the #defines: #define KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG _IOW(KVMIO, 0x9b, struct kvm_guest_debug) #define KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK _IOW(KVMIO, 0x9b, void *) The argument to KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG is: struct kvm_guest_debug { __u32 control; __u32 pad; struct kvm_guest_debug_arch arch; }; struct kvm_guest_debug_arch { }; meaning that sizeof(struct kvm_guest_debug) == sizeof(void *) == 8 and KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG == KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK. KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG is handled in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c before even calling kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl (which would have handled KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK), so KVM_IA64_VCPU_SET_STACK would just return -EINVAL.

register_address has been a duplicate of address_mask ever since the ancestor of __linearize was born in 90de84f5 (KVM: x86 emulator: preserve an operand's segment identity, 2010-11-17). However, we can put it to a better use by including the call to reg_read in register_address. Similarly, the call to reg_rmw can be moved to register_address_increment. Signed-off-by:

When SS is used using a non-canonical address, an #SS exception is generated on real hardware. KVM emulator causes a #GP instead. Fix it to behave as real x86 CPU. Signed-off-by:

If branch (e.g., jmp, ret) causes limit violations, since the target IP > limit, the #GP exception occurs before the branch. In other words, the RIP pushed on the stack should be that of the branch and not that of the target. To do so, we can call __linearize, with new EIP, which also saves us the code which performs the canonical address checks. On the case of assigning an EIP >= 2^32 (when switching cs.l), we also safe, as __linearize will check the new EIP does not exceed the limit and would trigger #GP(0) otherwise. Signed-off-by:

When segment is accessed, real hardware does not perform any privilege level checks. In contrast, KVM emulator does. This causes some discrepencies from real hardware. For instance, reading from readable code segment may fail due to incorrect segment checks. In addition, it introduces unnecassary overhead. To reference Intel SDM 5.5 ("Privilege Levels"): "Privilege levels are checked when the segment selector of a segment descriptor is loaded into a segment register." The SDM never mentions privilege level checks during memory access, except for loading far pointers in section 5.10 ("Pointer Validation"). Those are actually segment selector loads and are emulated in the similarily (i.e., regardless to __linearize checks). This behavior was also checked using sysexit. A data-segment whose DPL=0 was loaded, and after sysexit (CPL=3) it is still accessible. Therefore, all the privilege level checks in __linearize are removed. Signed-off-by: -

When performing segmented-read/write in the emulator for stack operations, it ignores the stack size, and uses the ad_bytes as indication for the pointer size. As a result, a wrong address may be accessed. To fix this behavior, we can remove the masking of address in __linearize and perform it beforehand. It is already done for the operands (so currently it is inefficiently done twice). It is missing in two cases: 1. When using rip_relative 2. On fetch_bit_operand that changes the address. This patch masks the address on these two occassions, and removes the masking from __linearize. Note that it does not mask EIP during fetch. In protected/legacy mode code fetch when RIP >= 2^32 should result in #GP and not wrap-around. Since we make limit checks within __linearize, this is the expected behavior.

Commit 10e38fc7cab6 ("KVM: x86: Emulator flag for instruction that only support 16-bit addresses in real mode") introduced NoBigReal for instructions such as MONITOR. Apparetnly, the Intel SDM description that led to this patch is misleading. Since no instruction is using NoBigReal, it is safe to remove it, we fully understand what the SDM means. Signed-off-by:

apic_find_highest_irr assumes irr_pending is set if any vector in APIC_IRR is set. If this assumption is broken and apicv is disabled, the injection of interrupts may be deferred until another interrupt is delivered to the guest. Ultimately, if no other interrupt should be injected to that vCPU, the pending interrupt may be lost. commit 56cc2406 ("KVM: nVMX: fix "acknowledge interrupt on exit" when APICv is in use") changed the behavior of apic_clear_irr so irr_pending is cleared after setting APIC_IRR vector. After this commit, if apic_set_irr and apic_clear_irr run simultaneously, a race may occur, resulting in APIC_IRR vector set, and irr_pending cleared. In the following example, assume a single vector is set in IRR prior to calling apic_clear_irr: apic_set_irr apic_clear_irr ------------ -------------- apic->irr_pending = true; apic_clear_vector(...); vec = apic_search_irr(apic); // => vec == -1 apic_set_vector(...); apic->irr_pending = (vec != -1); // => apic->irr_pending == false Nonetheless, it appears the race might even occur prior to this commit: apic_set_irr apic_clear_irr ------------ -------------- apic->irr_pending = true; apic->irr_pending = false; apic_clear_vector(...); if (apic_search_irr(apic) != -1) apic->irr_pending = true; // => apic->irr_pending == false apic_set_vector(...); Fixing this issue by: 1. Restoring the previous behavior of apic_clear_irr: clear irr_pending, call apic_clear_vector, and then if APIC_IRR is non-zero, set irr_pending. 2. On apic_set_irr: first call apic_set_vector, then set irr_pending. Signed-off-by:

Logical destination mode can be used to send NMI IPIs even when all APICs are software disabled, so if all APICs are software disabled we should still look at the DFRs. So the DFRs should all be the same, even if some or all APICs are software disabled. However, the SDM does not say this, so tweak the logic as follows: - if one APIC is enabled and has LDR != 0, use that one to build the map. This picks the right DFR in case an OS is only setting it for the software-enabled APICs, or in case an OS is using logical addressing on some APICs while leaving the rest in reset state (using LDR was suggested by Radim). - if all APICs are disabled, pick a random one to build the map. We use the last one with LDR != 0 for simplicity. Signed-off-by: -

Currently, the APIC logical map does not consider VCPUs whose local-apic is software-disabled. However, NMIs, INIT, etc. should still be delivered to such VCPUs. Therefore, the APIC mode should first be determined, and then the map, considering all VCPUs should be constructed. To address this issue, first find the APIC mode, and only then construct the logical map. Signed-off-by:

memslots is a sorted array. When a slot is changed, heapsort (lib/sort.c) would take O(n log n) time to update it; an optimized insertion sort will only cost O(n) on an array with just one item out of order. Replace sort() with a custom sort that takes advantage of memslots usage pattern and the known position of the changed slot. performance change of 128 memslots insertions with gradually increasing size (the worst case): heap sort custom sort max: 249747 2500 cycles with custom sort alg taking ~98% less then original update time.

With the 3 private slots, this gives us 512 slots total. Motivation for this is in addition to assigned devices support more memory hotplug slots, where 1 slot is used by a hotplugged memory stick. It will allow to support upto 256 hotplug memory slots and leave 253 slots for assigned devices and other devices that use them. Signed-off-by:

When running the tsc_adjust kvm-unit-test on an AMD processor with the IA32_TSC_ADJUST feature enabled, the WARN_ON in svm_adjust_tsc_offset can be triggered. This WARN_ON checks for a negative adjustment in case __scale_tsc is called; however it may trigger unnecessary warnings. This patch moves the WARN_ON to trigger only if __scale_tsc will actually be called from svm_adjust_tsc_offset. In addition make adj in kvm_set_msr_common s64 since this can have signed values.

kvm updates the version number for the guest paravirt clock structure by incrementing the version of its private copy. It does not read the guest version, so will write version = 2 in the first update for every new VM, including after restoring a saved state. If guest state is saved during reading the clock, it could read and accept struct fields and guest TSC from two different updates. This changes the code to increment the guest version and write it back. Signed-off-by:

When the guest writes to the TSC, the masterclock TSC copy must be updated as well along with the TSC_OFFSET update, otherwise a negative tsc_timestamp is calculated at kvm_guest_time_update. Once "if (!vcpus_matched && ka->use_master_clock)" is simplified to "if (ka->use_master_clock)", the corresponding "if (!ka->use_master_clock)" becomes redundant, so remove the do_request boolean and collapse everything into a single condition.

Task-switch emulation checks the privilege level prior to performing the task-switch. This check is incorrect in the case of task-gates, in which the tss.dpl is ignored, and can cause superfluous exceptions. Moreover this check is unnecassary, since the CPU checks the privilege levels prior to exiting. Intel SDM 25.4.2 says "If CALL or JMP accesses a TSS descriptor directly outside IA-32e mode, privilege levels are checked on the TSS descriptor" prior to exiting. AMD 15.14.1 says "The intercept is checked before the task switch takes place but after the incoming TSS and task gate (if one was involved) have been checked for correctness." This patch removes the CPL checks for CALL and JMP. Signed-off-by:
