      KVM: arm/arm64: Make timer_arm and timer_disarm helpers more generic · 8409a06f
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      We are about to add an additional soft timer to the arch timer state for
      a VCPU and would like to be able to reuse the functions to program and
      cancel a timer, so we make them slightly more generic and rename to make
      it more clear that these functions work on soft timers and not the
      hardware resource that this code is managing.
      
      The armed flag on the timer state is only used to assert a condition,
      and we don't rely on this assertion in any meaningful way, so we can
      simply get rid of this flack and slightly reduce complexity.

      KVM: arm/arm64: Allow setting the timer IRQ numbers from userspace · 99a1db7a
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      First we define an ABI using the vcpu devices that lets userspace set
      the interrupt numbers for the various timers on both the 32-bit and
      64-bit KVM/ARM implementations.
      
      Second, we add the definitions for the groups and attributes introduced
      by the above ABI.  (We add the PMU define on the 32-bit side as well for
      symmetry and it may get used some day.)
      
      Third, we set up the arch-specific vcpu device operation handlers to
      call into the timer code for anything related to the
      KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_CTRL group.
      
      Fourth, we implement support for getting and setting the timer interrupt
      numbers using the above defined ABI in the arch timer code.
      
      Fifth, we introduce error checking upon enabling the arch timer (which
      is called when first running a VCPU) to check that all VCPUs are
      configured to use the same PPI for the timer (as mandated by the
      architecture) and that the virtual and physical timers are not
      configured to use the same IRQ number.

      KVM: arm/arm64: Move timer IRQ default init to arch_timer.c · 85e69ad7
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      We currently initialize the arch timer IRQ numbers from the reset code,
      presumably because we once intended to model multiple CPU or SoC types
      from within the kernel and have hard-coded reset values in the reset
      code.
      
      As we are moving towards userspace being in charge of more fine-grained
      CPU emulation and stitching together the pieces needed to emulate a
      particular type of CPU, we should no longer have a tight coupling
      between resetting a VCPU and setting IRQ numbers.
      
      Therefore, move the logic to define and use the default IRQ numbers to
      the timer code and set the IRQ number immediately when creating the
      VCPU.

      KVM: arm/arm64: Support arch timers with a userspace gic · d9e13977
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      If you're running with a userspace gic or other interrupt controller
      (that is no vgic in the kernel), then you have so far not been able to
      use the architected timers, because the output of the architected
      timers, which are driven inside the kernel, was a kernel-only construct
      between the arch timer code and the vgic.
      
      This patch implements the new KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ feature, where we use a
      side channel on the kvm_run structure, run->s.regs.device_irq_level, to
      always notify userspace of the timer output levels when using a userspace
      irqchip.
      
      This works by ensuring that before we enter the guest, if the timer
      output level has changed compared to what we last told userspace, we
      don't enter the guest, but instead return to userspace to notify it of
      the new level.  If we are exiting, because of an MMIO for example, and
      the level changed at the same time, the value is also updated and
      userspace can sample the line as it needs.  This is nicely achieved
      simply always updating the timer_irq_level field after the main run
      loop.
      
      Note that the kvm_timer_update_irq trace event is changed to show the
      host IRQ number for the timer instead of the guest IRQ number, because
      the kernel no longer know which IRQ userspace wires up the timer signal
      to.
      
      Also note that this patch implements all required functionality but does
      not yet advertise the capability.

      KVM: arm64: Access CNTHCTL_EL2 bit fields correctly on VHE systems · 488f94d7
      Jintack Lim 提交于
      Current KVM world switch code is unintentionally setting wrong bits to
      CNTHCTL_EL2 when E2H == 1, which may allow guest OS to access physical
      timer.  Bit positions of CNTHCTL_EL2 are changing depending on
      HCR_EL2.E2H bit.  EL1PCEN and EL1PCTEN are 1st and 0th bits when E2H is
      not set, but they are 11th and 10th bits respectively when E2H is set.
      
      In fact, on VHE we only need to set those bits once, not for every world
      switch. This is because the host kernel runs in EL2 with HCR_EL2.TGE ==
      1, which makes those bits have no effect for the host kernel execution.
      So we just set those bits once for guests, and that's it.

      KVM: arm/arm64: timer: Add active state caching · 9b4a3004
      Marc Zyngier 提交于
      Programming the active state in the (re)distributor can be an
      expensive operation so it makes some sense to try and reduce
      the number of accesses as much as possible. So far, we
      program the active state on each VM entry, but there is some
      opportunity to do less.
      
      An obvious solution is to cache the active state in memory,
      and only program it in the HW when conditions change. But
      because the HW can also change things under our feet (the active
      state can transition from 1 to 0 when the guest does an EOI),
      some precautions have to be taken, which amount to only caching
      an "inactive" state, and always programing it otherwise.
      
      With this in place, we observe a reduction of around 700 cycles
      on a 2GHz GICv2 platform for a NULL hypercall.

      arm/arm64: KVM: Rework the arch timer to use level-triggered semantics · 4b4b4512
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      The arch timer currently uses edge-triggered semantics in the sense that
      the line is never sampled by the vgic and lowering the line from the
      timer to the vgic doesn't have any effect on the pending state of
      virtual interrupts in the vgic.  This means that we do not support a
      guest with the otherwise valid behavior of (1) disable interrupts (2)
      enable the timer (3) disable the timer (4) enable interrupts.  Such a
      guest would validly not expect to see any interrupts on real hardware,
      but will see interrupts on KVM.
      
      This patch fixes this shortcoming through the following series of
      changes.
      
      First, we change the flow of the timer/vgic sync/flush operations.  Now
      the timer is always flushed/synced before the vgic, because the vgic
      samples the state of the timer output.  This has the implication that we
      move the timer operations in to non-preempible sections, but that is
      fine after the previous commit getting rid of hrtimer schedules on every
      entry/exit.
      
      Second, we change the internal behavior of the timer, letting the timer
      keep track of its previous output state, and only lower/raise the line
      to the vgic when the state changes.  Note that in theory this could have
      been accomplished more simply by signalling the vgic every time the
      state *potentially* changed, but we don't want to be hitting the vgic
      more often than necessary.
      
      Third, we get rid of the use of the map->active field in the vgic and
      instead simply set the interrupt as active on the physical distributor
      whenever the input to the GIC is asserted and conversely clear the
      physical active state when the input to the GIC is deasserted.
      
      Fourth, and finally, we now initialize the timer PPIs (and all the other
      unused PPIs for now), to be level-triggered, and modify the sync code to
      sample the line state on HW sync and re-inject a new interrupt if it is
      still pending at that time.

      arm/arm64: KVM: arch_timer: Only schedule soft timer on vcpu_block · d35268da
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      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.

      arm/arm64: KVM: Fix migration race in the arch timer · 1a748478
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      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.

      arm/arm64: KVM: Require in-kernel vgic for the arch timers · 05971120
      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      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.

      ARM: KVM: move GIC/timer code to a common location · 7275acdf
      Marc Zyngier 提交于
      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.
