Copy __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() into unmapped memory, so that we can never get a TLB refill exception in it when KVM is built as a module. This was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel running under QEMU, due to a not entirely transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB handling where TLB entries replaced with TLBWR are copied to a separate part of the TLB array. Code in those pages continue to be executable, but those mappings persist only until the next ASID switch, even if they are marked global. An ASID switch happens in __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() at exception level after switching to the guest exception base. Subsequent TLB mapped kernel instructions just prior to switching to the guest trigger a TLB refill exception, which enters the guest exception handlers without updating EPC. This appears as a guest triggered TLB refill on a host kernel mapped (host KSeg2) address, which is not handled correctly as user (guest) mode accesses to kernel (host) segments always generate address error exceptions.

Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough. This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests. This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls. For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll. This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor, we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though. This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP while still providing a proper speedup. This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

Reading the KVM_CAP_MIPS_FPU capability returns cpu_has_fpu, however this uses smp_processor_id() to read the current CPU capabilities (since some old MIPS systems could have FPUs present on only a subset of CPUs). We don't support any such systems, so work around the warning by using raw_cpu_has_fpu instead. We should probably instead claim not to support FPU at all if any one CPU is lacking an FPU, but this should do for now.

The problem: On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path: 1) hard interrupt 2) ksoftirqd is scheduled 3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread 4) vcpu thread is scheduled This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the LAPIC path for a KVM guest. The solution: Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context, thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled. Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which is not allowed from hard interrupt context. cyclictest command line: This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.

This new statistic can help diagnosing VCPUs that, for any reason, trigger bad behavior of halt_poll_ns autotuning. For example, say halt_poll_ns = 480000, and wakeups are spaced exactly like 479us, 481us, 479us, 481us. Then KVM always fails polling and wastes 10+20+40+80+160+320+480 = 1110 microseconds out of every 479+481+479+481+479+481+479 = 3359 microseconds. The VCPU then is consuming about 30% more CPU than it would use without polling. This would show as an abnormally high number of attempted polling compared to the successful polls.

This lets the function access the new memory slot without going through kvm_memslots and id_to_memslot. It will simplify the code when more than one address space will be supported. Unfortunately, the "const"ness of the new argument must be casted away in two places.

Add base code for supporting the MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) in MIPS KVM guests. MSA cannot yet be enabled in the guest, we're just laying the groundwork. As with the FPU, whether the guest's MSA context is loaded is stored in another bit in the fpu_inuse vcpu member. This allows MSA to be disabled when the guest disables it, but keeping the MSA context loaded so it doesn't have to be reloaded if the guest re-enables it. New assembly code is added for saving and restoring the MSA context, restoring only the upper half of the MSA context (for if the FPU context is already loaded) and for saving/clearing and restoring MSACSR (which can itself cause an MSA FP exception depending on the value). The MSACSR is restored before returning to the guest if MSA is already enabled, and the existing FP exception die notifier is extended to catch the possible MSA FP exception and step over the ctcmsa instruction. The helper function kvm_own_msa() is added to enable MSA and restore the MSA context if it isn't already loaded, which will be used in a later patch when the guest attempts to use MSA for the first time and triggers an MSA disabled exception. The existing FPU helpers are extended to handle MSA. kvm_lose_fpu() saves the full MSA context if it is loaded (which includes the FPU context) and both kvm_lose_fpu() and kvm_drop_fpu() disable MSA. kvm_own_fpu() also needs to lose any MSA context if FR=0, since there would be a risk of getting reserved instruction exceptions if CU1 is enabled and we later try and save the MSA context. We shouldn't usually hit this case since it will be handled when emulating CU1 changes, however there's nothing to stop the guest modifying the Status register directly via the comm page, which will cause this case to get hit.

Only supported bits can be written, to minimise the chances of the guest being given a configuration from e.g. QEMU that is inconsistent with that being emulated, and as such the handling is in trap_emul.c as it may need to be different for VZ. Currently the only modification permitted is to make Config4 and Config5 exist via the M bits, but other bits will be added for FPU and MSA support in future patches. Care should be taken by userland not to change bits without fully handling the possible extra state that may then exist and which the guest may begin to use and depend on.

Trap instructions are used by Linux to implement BUG_ON(), however KVM doesn't pass trap exceptions on to the guest if they occur in guest kernel mode, instead triggering an internal error "Exception Code: 13, not yet handled". The guest kernel then doesn't get a chance to print the usual BUG message and stack trace. Implement handling of the trap exception so that it gets passed to the guest and the user is left with a more useful log message.

Guest user mode can generate a guest MSA Disabled exception on an MSA capable core by simply trying to execute an MSA instruction. Since this exception is unknown to KVM it will be passed on to the guest kernel. However guest Linux kernels prior to v3.15 do not set up an exception handler for the MSA Disabled exception as they don't support any MSA capable cores. This results in a guest OS panic. Since an older processor ID may be being emulated, and MSA support is not advertised to the guest, the correct behaviour is to generate a Reserved Instruction exception in the guest kernel so it can send the guest process an illegal instruction signal (SIGILL), as would happen with a non-MSA-capable core. Fix this as minimally as reasonably possible by preventing kvm_mips_check_privilege() from relaying MSA Disabled exceptions from guest user mode to the guest kernel, and handling the MSA Disabled exception by emulating a Reserved Instruction exception in the guest, via a new handle_msa_disabled() KVM callback.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling itself out via kvm_vcpu_block. This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host. In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal, or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache). The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in. With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU. Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around 1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU. The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll, that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU. While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second. Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark, instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick. The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and a smaller variance. Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

The FPU and DSP are enabled via the CP0 Status CU1 and MX bits by kvm_mips_set_c0_status() on a guest exit, presumably in case there is active state that needs saving if pre-emption occurs. However neither of these bits are cleared again when returning to the guest. This effectively gives the guest access to the FPU/DSP hardware after the first guest exit even though it is not aware of its presence, allowing FP instructions in guest user code to intermittently actually execute instead of trapping into the guest OS for emulation. It will then read & manipulate the hardware FP registers which technically belong to the user process (e.g. QEMU), or are stale from another user process. It can also crash the guest OS by causing an FP exception, for which a guest exception handler won't have been registered. First lets save and disable the FPU (and MSA) state with lose_fpu(1) before entering the guest. This simplifies the problem, especially for when guest FPU/MSA support is added in the future, and prevents FR=1 FPU state being live when the FR bit gets cleared for the guest, which according to the architecture causes the contents of the FPU and vector registers to become UNPREDICTABLE. We can then safely remove the enabling of the FPU in kvm_mips_set_c0_status(), since there should never be any active FPU or MSA state to save at pre-emption, which should plug the FPU leak. DSP state is always live rather than being lazily restored, so for that it is simpler to just clear the MX bit again when re-entering the guest.

Ensure any hardware page table walker (HTW) is disabled while in KVM guest mode, as KVM doesn't yet set up hardware page table walking for guest mappings so the wrong mappings would get loaded, resulting in the guest hanging or crashing once it reaches userland. The HTW is disabled and re-enabled around the call to __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() which does the initial switch into guest mode and the final switch out of guest context. Additionally it is enabled for the duration of guest exits (i.e. kvm_mips_handle_exit()), getting disabled again before returning back to guest or host. In all cases the HTW is only disabled in normal kernel mode while interrupts are disabled, so that the HTW doesn't get left disabled if the process is preempted.

The return value of kvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate is not checked in its caller. This is okay, because only x86 provides vcpu_postcreate right now and it could only fail if vcpu_load failed. But that is not possible during KVM_CREATE_VCPU (kvm_arch_vcpu_load is void, too), so just get rid of the unchecked return value.
