We currently schedule a soft timer every time we exit the guest if the timer did not expire while running the guest. This is really not necessary, because the only work we do in the timer work function is to kick the vcpu. Kicking the vcpu does two things: (1) If the vpcu thread is on a waitqueue, make it runnable and remove it from the waitqueue. (2) If the vcpu is running on a different physical CPU from the one doing the kick, it sends a reschedule IPI. The second case cannot happen, because the soft timer is only ever scheduled when the vcpu is not running. The first case is only relevant when the vcpu thread is on a waitqueue, which is only the case when the vcpu thread has called kvm_vcpu_block(). Therefore, we only need to make sure a timer is scheduled for kvm_vcpu_block(), which we do by encapsulating all calls to kvm_vcpu_block() with kvm_timer_{un}schedule calls. Additionally, we only schedule a soft timer if the timer is enabled and unmasked, since it is useless otherwise. Note that theoretically userspace can use the SET_ONE_REG interface to change registers that should cause the timer to fire, even if the vcpu is blocked without a scheduled timer, but this case was not supported before this patch and we leave it for future work for now.

We have an interesting issue when the guest disables the timer interrupt on the VGIC, which happens when turning VCPUs off using PSCI, for example. The problem is that because the guest disables the virtual interrupt at the VGIC level, we never inject interrupts to the guest and therefore never mark the interrupt as active on the physical distributor. The host also never takes the timer interrupt (we only use the timer device to trigger a guest exit and everything else is done in software), so the interrupt does not become active through normal means. The result is that we keep entering the guest with a programmed timer that will always fire as soon as we context switch the hardware timer state and run the guest, preventing forward progress for the VCPU. Since the active state on the physical distributor is really part of the timer logic, it is the job of our virtual arch timer driver to manage this state. The timer->map->active boolean field indicates whether we have signalled this interrupt to the vgic and if that interrupt is still pending or active. As long as that is the case, the hardware doesn't have to generate physical interrupts and therefore we mark the interrupt as active on the physical distributor. We also have to restore the pending state of an interrupt that was queued to an LR but was retired from the LR for some reason, while remaining pending in the LR.

In order to remove the crude hack where we sneak the masked bit into the timer's control register, make use of the phys_irq_map API control the active state of the interrupt. This causes some limited changes to allow for potential error propagation. Reviewed-by: NChristoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

When a VCPU is no longer running, we currently check to see if it has a timer scheduled in the future, and if it does, we schedule a host hrtimer to notify is in case the timer expires while the VCPU is still not running. When the hrtimer fires, we mask the guest's timer and inject the timer IRQ (still relying on the guest unmasking the time when it receives the IRQ). This is all good and fine, but when migration a VM (checkpoint/restore) this introduces a race. It is unlikely, but possible, for the following sequence of events to happen: 1. Userspace stops the VM 2. Hrtimer for VCPU is scheduled 3. Userspace checkpoints the VGIC state (no pending timer interrupts) 4. The hrtimer fires, schedules work in a workqueue 5. Workqueue function runs, masks the timer and injects timer interrupt 6. Userspace checkpoints the timer state (timer masked) At restore time, you end up with a masked timer without any timer interrupts and your guest halts never receiving timer interrupts. Fix this by only kicking the VCPU in the workqueue function, and sample the expired state of the timer when entering the guest again and inject the interrupt and mask the timer only then.

The current timecounter implementation will drop a variable amount of resolution, depending on the magnitude of the time delta. In other words, reading the clock too often or too close to a time stamp conversion will introduce errors into the time values. This patch fixes the issue by introducing a fractional nanosecond field that accumulates the low order bits.

It is curently possible to run a VM with architected timers support without creating an in-kernel VGIC, which will result in interrupts from the virtual timer going nowhere. To address this issue, move the architected timers initialization to the time when we run a VCPU for the first time, and then only initialize (and enable) the architected timers if we have a properly created and initialized in-kernel VGIC. When injecting interrupts from the virtual timer to the vgic, the current setup should ensure that this never calls an on-demand init of the VGIC, which is the only call path that could return an error from kvm_vgic_inject_irq(), so capture the return value and raise a warning if there's an error there. We also change the kvm_timer_init() function from returning an int to be a void function, since the function always succeeds.

Commit 8146875d (arm, kvm: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration) holds the lock before calling the two functions: kvm_vgic_hyp_init() kvm_timer_hyp_init() and both the two functions are calling register_cpu_notifier() to register cpu notifier, so cause double lock on cpu_add_remove_lock. Considered that both two functions are only called inside kvm_arch_init() with holding cpu_add_remove_lock, so simply use __register_cpu_notifier() to fix the problem.

For migration to work we need to save (and later restore) the state of each core's virtual generic timer. Since this is per VCPU, we can use the [gs]et_one_reg ioctl and export the three needed registers (control, counter, compare value). Though they live in cp15 space, we don't use the existing list, since they need special accessor functions and the arch timer is optional.

The arch_timer irq numbers (or PPI numbers) are implementation dependent, so the host virtual timer irq number can be different from guest virtual timer irq number. This patch ensures that host virtual timer irq number is read from DTB and guest virtual timer irq is determined based on vcpu target type.

As KVM/arm64 is looming on the horizon, it makes sense to move some of the common code to a single location in order to reduce duplication. The code could live anywhere. Actually, most of KVM is already built with a bunch of ugly ../../.. hacks in the various Makefiles, so we're not exactly talking about style here. But maybe it is time to start moving into a less ugly direction. The include files must be in a "public" location, as they are accessed from non-KVM files (arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c). For this purpose, introduce two new locations: - virt/kvm/arm/ : x86 and ia64 already share the ioapic code in virt/kvm, so this could be seen as a (very ugly) precedent. - include/kvm/ : there is already an include/xen, and while the intent is slightly different, this seems as good a location as any Eventually, we should probably have independant Makefiles at every levels (just like everywhere else in the kernel), but this is just the first step.
