      KVM: VMX: Stop context switching MSR_IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL · bf09fb6c
      由 Sean Christopherson 提交于 
      Remove support for context switching between the guest's and host's
desired UMWAIT_CONTROL.  Propagating the guest's value to hardware isn't
required for correct functionality, e.g. KVM intercepts reads and writes
to the MSR, and the latency effects of the settings controlled by the
MSR are not architecturally visible.

As a general rule, KVM should not allow the guest to control power
management settings unless explicitly enabled by userspace, e.g. see
KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS.  E.g. Intel's SDM explicitly states that C0.2
can improve the performance of SMT siblings.  A devious guest could
disable C0.2 so as to improve the performance of their workloads at the
detriment to workloads running in the host or on other VMs.

Wholesale removal of UMWAIT_CONTROL context switching also fixes a race
condition where updates from the host may cause KVM to enter the guest
with the incorrect value.  Because updates are are propagated to all
CPUs via IPI (SMP function callback), the value in hardware may be
stale with respect to the cached value and KVM could enter the guest
with the wrong value in hardware.  As above, the guest can't observe the
bad value, but it's a weird and confusing wart in the implementation.

Removal also fixes the unnecessary usage of VMX's atomic load/store MSR
lists.  Using the lists is only necessary for MSRs that are required for
correct functionality immediately upon VM-Enter/VM-Exit, e.g. EFER on
old hardware, or for MSRs that need to-the-uop precision, e.g. perf
related MSRs.  For UMWAIT_CONTROL, the effects are only visible in the
kernel via TPAUSE/delay(), and KVM doesn't do any form of delay in
vcpu_vmx_run().  Using the atomic lists is undesirable as they are more
expensive than direct RDMSR/WRMSR.

Furthermore, even if giving the guest control of the MSR is legitimate,
e.g. in pass-through scenarios, it's not clear that the benefits would
outweigh the overhead.  E.g. saving and restoring an MSR across a VMX
roundtrip costs ~250 cycles, and if the guest diverged from the host
that cost would be paid on every run of the guest.  In other words, if
there is a legitimate use case then it should be enabled by a new
per-VM capability.

Note, KVM still needs to emulate MSR_IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL so that it can
correctly expose other WAITPKG features to the guest, e.g. TPAUSE,
UMWAIT and UMONITOR.

      KVM: nVMX: Plumb L2 GPA through to PML emulation · 2dbebf7a
      由 Sean Christopherson 提交于 
      Explicitly pass the L2 GPA to kvm_arch_write_log_dirty(), which for all
intents and purposes is vmx_write_pml_buffer(), instead of having the
latter pull the GPA from vmcs.GUEST_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS.  If the dirty bit
update is the result of KVM emulation (rare for L2), then the GPA in the
VMCS may be stale and/or hold a completely unrelated GPA.

      KVM: LAPIC: ensure APIC map is up to date on concurrent update requests · 44d52717
      由 Paolo Bonzini 提交于 
      The following race can cause lost map update events:

         cpu1                            cpu2

                                apic_map_dirty = true
  ------------------------------------------------------------
                                kvm_recalculate_apic_map:
                                     pass check
                                         mutex_lock(&kvm->arch.apic_map_lock);
                                         if (!kvm->arch.apic_map_dirty)
                                     and in process of updating map
  -------------------------------------------------------------
    other calls to
       apic_map_dirty = true         might be too late for affected cpu
  -------------------------------------------------------------
                                     apic_map_dirty = false
  -------------------------------------------------------------
    kvm_recalculate_apic_map:
    bail out on
      if (!kvm->arch.apic_map_dirty)

To fix it, record the beginning of an update of the APIC map in
apic_map_dirty.  If another APIC map change switches apic_map_dirty
back to DIRTY during the update, kvm_recalculate_apic_map should not
make it CLEAN, and the other caller will go through the slow path.
