The operation of getting dirty log is frequent when framebuffer-based displays are used(for example, Xwindow), so, we introduce a mapping table to speed up id_to_memslot() Signed-off-by:

Currently, write protecting a slot needs to walk all the shadow pages and checks ones which have a pte mapping a page in it. The walk is overly heavy when dirty pages in that slot are not so many and checking the shadow pages would result in unwanted cache pollution. To mitigate this problem, we use rmap_write_protect() and check only the sptes which can be reached from gfns marked in the dirty bitmap when the number of dirty pages are less than that of shadow pages. This criterion is reasonable in its meaning and worked well in our test: write protection became some times faster than before when the ratio of dirty pages are low and was not worse even when the ratio was near the criterion. Note that the locking for this write protection becomes fine grained. The reason why this is safe is descripted in the comments. Signed-off-by:

Needed for the next patch which uses this number to decide how to write protect a slot. Signed-off-by:
-
Takuya Yoshikawa authored
rmap_write_protect() calls gfn_to_rmap() for each level with gfn fixed. This results in calling gfn_to_memslot() repeatedly with that gfn. This patch introduces __gfn_to_rmap() which takes the slot as an argument to avoid this. This is also needed for the following dirty logging optimization. Signed-off-by:

The host side pv mmu support has been marked for feature removal in January 2011. It's not in use, is slower than shadow or hardware assisted paging, and a maintenance burden. It's November 2011, time to remove it. Signed-off-by:

My testing version of Smatch complains that addr and len come from the user and they can wrap. The path is: -> kvm_vm_ioctl() -> kvm_vm_ioctl_unregister_coalesced_mmio() -> coalesced_mmio_in_range() I don't know what the implications are of wrapping here, but we may as well fix it, if only to silence the warning.

The vcpu reference of a kvm_timer can't become NULL while the timer is valid, so drop this redundant test. This also makes it pointless to carry a separate __kvm_timer_fn, fold it into kvm_timer_fn. Signed-off-by:

Detecting write-flooding does not work well, when we handle page written, if the last speculative spte is not accessed, we treat the page is write-flooding, however, we can speculative spte on many path, such as pte prefetch, page synced, that means the last speculative spte may be not point to the written page and the written page can be accessed via other sptes, so depends on the Accessed bit of the last speculative spte is not enough Instead of detected page accessed, we can detect whether the spte is accessed after it is written, if the spte is not accessed but it is written frequently, we treat is not a page table or it not used for a long time Signed-off-by:

Sometimes, we only modify the last one byte of a pte to update status bit, for example, clear_bit is used to clear r/w bit in linux kernel and 'andb' instruction is used in this function, in this case, kvm_mmu_pte_write will treat it as misaligned access, and the shadow page table is zapped Signed-off-by:

If the emulation is caused by #PF and it is non-page_table writing instruction, it means the VM-EXIT is caused by shadow page protected, we can zap the shadow page and retry this instruction directly The idea is from Avi Signed-off-by:

Xiao Guangrong authored
The idea is from Avi: | tag instructions that are typically used to modify the page tables, and | drop shadow if any other instruction is used. | The list would include, I'd guess, and, or, bts, btc, mov, xchg, cmpxchg, | and cmpxchg8b. This patch is used to tag the instructions and in the later path, shadow page is dropped if it is written by other instructions Signed-off-by:

Xiao Guangrong authored
kvm_mmu_pte_write is unsafe since we need to alloc pte_list_desc in the function when spte is prefetched, unfortunately, we can not know how many spte need to be prefetched on this path, that means we can use out of the free pte_list_desc object in the cache, and BUG_ON() is triggered, also some path does not fill the cache, such as INS instruction emulated that does not trigger page fault Signed-off-by:

When L0 wishes to inject an interrupt while L2 is running, it emulates an exit to L1 with EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT. This was explained in the original nVMX patch 23, titled "Correct handling of interrupt injection". Unfortunately, it is possible (though rare) that at this point there is valid idt_vectoring_info in vmcs02. For example, L1 injected some interrupt to L2, and when L2 tried to run this interrupt's handler, it got a page fault - so it returns the original interrupt vector in idt_vectoring_info. The problem is that if this is the case, we cannot exit to L1 with EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT like we wished to, because the VMX spec guarantees that idt_vectoring_info and exit_reason_external_interrupt can never happen together. This is not just specified in the spec - a KVM L1 actually prints a kernel warning "unexpected, valid vectoring info" if we violate this guarantee, and some users noticed these warnings in L1's logs. In order to better emulate a processor, which would never return the external interrupt and the idt-vectoring-info together, we need to separate the two injection steps: First, complete L1's injection into L2 (i.e., enter L2, injecting to it the idt-vectoring-info); Second, after entry into L2 succeeds and it exits back to L0, exit to L1 with the EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT. Most of this is already in the code - the only change we need is to remain in L2 (and not exit to L1) in this case. Note that the previous patch ensures (by using KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT) that although we do enter L2 first, it will exit immediately after processing its injection, allowing us to promptly inject to L1. Note how we test vmcs12->idt_vectoring_info_field; This isn't really the vmcs12 value (we haven't exited to L1 yet, so vmcs12 hasn't been updated), but rather the place we save, at the end of vmx_vcpu_run, the vmcs02 value of this field. This was explained in patch 25 ("Correct handling of idt vectoring info") of the original nVMX patch series. Thanks to Dave Allan and to Federico Simoncelli for reporting this bug, to Abel Gordon for helping me figure out the solution, and to Avi Kivity for helping to improve it.

This patch adds a new vcpu->requests bit, KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT. This bit requests that when next entering the guest, we should run it only for as little as possible, and exit again. We use this new option in nested VMX: When L1 launches L2, but L0 wishes L1 to continue running so it can inject an event to it, we unfortunately cannot just pretend to have run L2 for a little while - We must really launch L2, otherwise certain one-off vmcs12 parameters (namely, L1 injection into L2) will be lost. So the existing code runs L2 in this case. But L2 could potentially run for a long time until it exits, and the injection into L1 will be delayed. The new KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT allows us to request that L2 will be entered, as necessary, but will exit as soon as possible after entry. Our implementation of this request uses smp_send_reschedule() to send a self-IPI, with interrupts disabled. The interrupts remain disabled until the guest is entered, and then, after the entry is complete (often including processing an injection and jumping to the relevant handler), the physical interrupt is noticed and causes an exit. On recent Intel processors, we could have achieved the same goal by using MTF instead of a self-IPI. Another technique worth considering in the future is to use VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT and a highest-priority vector IPI - to slightly improve performance by avoiding the useless interrupt handler which ends up being called when smp_send_reschedule() is used.
