2017-07-14kvm: x86: hyperv: make VP_INDEX managed by userspaceRoman Kagan1-0/+9
Hyper-V identifies vCPUs by Virtual Processor Index, which can be queried via HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX msr. It is defined by the spec as a sequential number which can't exceed the maximum number of vCPUs per VM. APIC ids can be sparse and thus aren't a valid replacement for VP indices. Current KVM uses its internal vcpu index as VP_INDEX. However, to make it predictable and persistent across VM migrations, the userspace has to control the value of VP_INDEX. This patch achieves that, by storing vp_index explicitly on vcpu, and allowing HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX to be set from the host side. For compatibility it's initialized to KVM vcpu index. Also a few variables are renamed to make clear distinction betweed this Hyper-V vp_index and KVM vcpu_id (== APIC id). Besides, a new capability, KVM_CAP_HYPERV_VP_INDEX, is added to allow the userspace to skip attempting msr writes where unsupported, to avoid spamming error logs.

2017-07-13kvm: x86: hyperv: add KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2Roman Kagan1-0/+9
There is a flaw in the Hyper-V SynIC implementation in KVM: when message page or event flags page is enabled by setting the corresponding msr, KVM zeroes it out. This is problematic because on migration the corresponding MSRs are loaded on the destination, so the content of those pages is lost. This went unnoticed so far because the only user of those pages was in-KVM hyperv synic timers, which could continue working despite that zeroing. Newer QEMU uses those pages for Hyper-V VMBus implementation, and zeroing them breaks the migration. Besides, in newer QEMU the content of those pages is fully managed by QEMU, so zeroing them is undesirable even when writing the MSRs from the guest side. To support this new scheme, introduce a new capability, KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2, which, when enabled, makes sure that the synic pages aren't zeroed out in KVM.

2017-06-22KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add capability to report possible virtual SMT modesPaul Mackerras1-0/+11
Now that userspace can set the virtual SMT mode by enabling the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability, it is useful for userspace to be able to query the set of possible virtual SMT modes. This provides a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT_POSSIBLE, to provide this information. The return value is a bitmap of possible modes, with bit N set if virtual SMT mode 2^N is available. That is, 1 indicates SMT1 is available, 2 indicates that SMT2 is available, 3 indicates that both SMT1 and SMT2 are available, and so on. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
2017-06-21KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add new capability to control MCE behaviourAravinda Prasad1-0/+11
This introduces a new KVM capability to control how KVM behaves on machine check exception (MCE) in HV KVM guests. If this capability has not been enabled, KVM redirects machine check exceptions to guest's 0x200 vector, if the address in error belongs to the guest. With this capability enabled, KVM will cause a guest exit with the exit reason indicating an NMI. The new capability is required to avoid problems if a new kernel/KVM is used with an old QEMU, running a guest that doesn't issue "ibm,nmi-register". As old QEMU does not understand the NMI exit type, it treats it as a fatal error. However, the guest could have handled the machine check error if the exception was delivered to guest's 0x200 interrupt vector instead of NMI exit in case of old QEMU.

2017-06-19KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow userspace to set the desired SMT modePaul Mackerras1-0/+15
This allows userspace to set the desired virtual SMT (simultaneous multithreading) mode for a VM, that is, the number of VCPUs that get assigned to each virtual core. Previously, the virtual SMT mode was fixed to the number of threads per subcore, and if userspace wanted to have fewer vcpus per vcore, then it would achieve that by using a sparse CPU numbering. This had the disadvantage that the vcpu numbers can get quite large, particularly for SMT1 guests on a POWER8 with 8 threads per core. With this patch, userspace can set its desired virtual SMT mode and then use contiguous vcpu numbering. On POWER8, where the threading mode is "strict", the virtual SMT mode must be less than or equal to the number of threads per subcore. On POWER9, which implements a "loose" threading mode, the virtual SMT mode can be any power of 2 between 1 and 8, even though there is effectively one thread per subcore, since the threads are independent and can all be in different partitions.

2017-04-21kvm: better MWAIT emulation for guestsMichael S. Tsirkin1-0/+9
Guests that are heavy on futexes end up IPI'ing each other a lot. That can lead to significant slowdowns and latency increase for those guests when running within KVM. If only a single guest is needed on a host, we have a lot of spare host CPU time we can throw at the problem. Modern CPUs implement a feature called "MWAIT" which allows guests to wake up sleeping remote CPUs without an IPI - thus without an exit - at the expense of never going out of guest context. The decision whether this is something sensible to use should be up to the VM admin, so to user space. We can however allow MWAIT execution on systems that support it properly hardware wise. This patch adds a CAP to user space and a KVM cpuid leaf to indicate availability of native MWAIT execution. With that enabled, the worst a guest can do is waste as many cycles as a "jmp ." would do, so it's not a privilege problem. We consciously do *not* expose the feature in our CPUID bitmap, as most people will want to benefit from sleeping vCPUs to allow for over commit. Reported-by: "Gabriel L.

2017-04-09KVM: arm/arm64: Add ARM user space interrupt signaling ABIAlexander Graf1-0/+42
We have 2 modes for dealing with interrupts in the ARM world. We can either handle them all using hardware acceleration through the vgic or we can emulate a gic in user space and only drive CPU IRQ pins from there. Unfortunately, when driving IRQs from user space, we never tell user space about events from devices emulated inside the kernel, which may result in interrupt line state changes, so we lose out on for example timer and PMU events if we run with user space gic emulation. Define an ABI to publish such device output levels to userspace.

Add new KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ and KVM_CAP_MIPS_TE capabilities, and in order to allow MIPS KVM to support VZ without confusing old users (which expect the trap & emulate implementation), define and start checking KVM_CREATE_VM type codes. The codes available are: - KVM_VM_MIPS_TE = 0 This is the current value expected from the user, and will create a VM using trap & emulate in user mode, confined to the user mode address space. This may in future become unavailable if the kernel is only configured to support VZ, in which case the EINVAL error will be returned and KVM_CAP_MIPS_TE won't be available even though KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ is. - KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ = 1 This can be provided when the KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ capability is available to create a VM using VZ, with a fully virtualized guest virtual address space. If VZ support is unavailable in the kernel, the EINVAL error will be returned (although old kernels without the KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ capability may well succeed and create a trap & emulate VM). This is designed to allow the desired implementation (T&E vs VZ) to be potentially chosen at runtime rather than being fixed in the kernel configuration.

The purpose of the KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK API is to let userspace "kick" a VCPU out of KVM_RUN through a POSIX signal. A signal is attached to a dummy signal handler; by blocking the signal outside KVM_RUN and unblocking it inside, this possible race is closed: VCPU thread service thread -------------------------------------------------------------- check flag set flag raise signal (signal handler does nothing) KVM_RUN However, one issue with KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK is that it has to take tsk->sighand->siglock on every KVM_RUN. This lock is often on a remote NUMA node, because it is on the node of a thread's creator. Taking this lock can be very expensive if there are many userspace exits (as is the case for SMP Windows VMs without Hyper-V reference time counter). As an alternative, we can put the flag directly in kvm_run so that KVM can see it: VCPU thread service thread -------------------------------------------------------------- raise signal signal handler set run->immediate_exit KVM_RUN check run->immediate_exit Reviewed-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2017-01-31KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() to change HPT sizeDavid Gibson1-6/+8
The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() is used to set the size of hashed page table (HPT) that userspace expects a guest VM to have, and is also used to clear that HPT when necessary (e.g. guest reboot). At present, once the ioctl() is called for the first time, the HPT size can never be changed thereafter - it will be cleared but always sized as from the first call. With upcoming HPT resize implementation, we're going to need to allow userspace to resize the HPT at reset (to change it back to the default size if the guest changed it). So, we need to allow this ioctl() to change the HPT size. This patch also updates Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt to reflect the new behaviour. In fact the documentation was already slightly incorrect since 572abd5 "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't fall back to smaller HPT size in allocation ioctl" Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

This adds a new powerpc-specific KVM_CAP_SPAPR_RESIZE_HPT capability to advertise whether KVM is capable of handling the PAPR extensions for resizing the hashed page table during guest runtime. It also adds definitions for two new VM ioctl()s to implement this extension, and documentation of the same. Note that, HPT resizing is already possible with KVM PR without kernel modification, since the HPT is managed within userspace (qemu). The capability defined here will only be set where an in-kernel implementation of resizing is necessary, i.e. for KVM HV. To determine if the userspace resize implementation can be used, it's necessary to check KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB. Unfortunately older kernels incorrectly set KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB even with KVM PR. If userspace it want to support resizing with KVM PR on such kernels, it will need a workaround.

2017-01-31KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add userspace interfaces for POWER9 MMUPaul Mackerras1-0/+83
This adds two capabilities and two ioctls to allow userspace to find out about and configure the POWER9 MMU in a guest. The two capabilities tell userspace whether KVM can support a guest using the radix MMU, or using the hashed page table (HPT) MMU with a process table and segment tables. (Note that the MMUs in the POWER9 processor cores do not use the process and segment tables when in HPT mode, but the nest MMU does). The KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU ioctl allows userspace to specify whether a guest will use the radix MMU or the HPT MMU, and to specify the size and location (in guest space) of the process table. The KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctl gives userspace information about the radix MMU. It returns a list of supported radix tree geometries (base page size and number of bits indexed at each level of the radix tree) and the encoding used to specify the various page sizes for the TLB invalidate entry instruction. Initially, both capabilities return 0 and the ioctls return -EINVAL, until the necessary infrastructure for them to operate correctly is added.

2016-11-24KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add new POWER9 guest-accessible SPRsPaul Mackerras1-0/+2
This adds code to handle two new guest-accessible special-purpose registers on POWER9: TIDR (thread ID register) and PSSCR (processor stop status and control register). They are context-switched between host and guest, and the guest values can be read and set via the one_reg interface. The PSSCR contains some fields which are guest-accessible and some which are only accessible in hypervisor mode. We only allow the guest-accessible fields to be read or set by userspace.

2016-11-21KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore XER in checkpointed register statePaul Mackerras1-0/+1
When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress, we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state. Although XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER. This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER. To allow userspace to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG specifier. The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER value being corrupted when it uses transactions.

2016-11-19kvm: kvmclock: let KVM_GET_CLOCK return whether the master clock is in usePaolo Bonzini1-0/+11
Userspace can read the exact value of kvmclock by reading the TSC and fetching the timekeeping parameters out of guest memory. This however is brittle and not necessary anymore with KVM 4.11. Provide a mechanism that lets userspace know if the new KVM_GET_CLOCK semantics are in effect, and---since we are at it---if the clock is stable across all VCPUs.

Up to now, only irqchip routing entries could be set. This patch adds the capability to insert MSI routing entries. For ARM64, let's also increase KVM_MAX_IRQ_ROUTES to 4096: this include SPI irqchip routes plus MSI routes. In the future this might be extended.

2016-07-22KVM: arm/arm64: Enable irqchip routingEric Auger1-4/+8
This patch adds compilation and link against irqchip. Main motivation behind using irqchip code is to enable MSI routing code. In the future irqchip routing may also be useful when targeting multiple irqchips. Routing standard callbacks now are implemented in vgic-irqfd: - kvm_set_routing_entry - kvm_set_irq - kvm_set_msi They only are supported with new_vgic code. Both HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP and HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING are defined. KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING is advertised and KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING is allowed. So from now on IRQCHIP routing is enabled and a routing table entry must exist for irqfd injection to succeed for a given SPI. This patch builds a default flat irqchip routing table (gsi=irqchip.pin) covering all the VGIC SPI indexes. This routing table is overwritten by the first first user-space call to KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl. MSI routing setup is not yet allowed.

2016-07-18KVM: Extend struct kvm_msi to hold a 32-bit device IDAndre Przywara1-2/+10
The ARM GICv3 ITS MSI controller requires a device ID to be able to assign the proper interrupt vector. On real hardware, this ID is sampled from the bus. To be able to emulate an ITS controller, extend the KVM MSI interface to let userspace provide such a device ID. For PCI devices, the device ID is simply the 16-bit bus-device-function triplet, which should be easily available to the userland tool. Also there is a new KVM capability which advertises whether the current VM requires a device ID to be set along with the MSI data. This flag is still reported as not available everywhere, later we will enable it when ITS emulation is used.
