Use the new API to create and destroy the "kvm-pit" kthread worker. The API hides some implementation details. In particular, kthread_create_worker() allocates and initializes struct kthread_worker. It runs the kthread the right way and stores task_struct into the worker structure. kthread_destroy_worker() flushes all pending works, stops the kthread and frees the structure. This patch does not change the existing behavior except for dynamically allocating struct kthread_worker and storing only the pointer of this structure. It is compile tested only because I did not find an easy way how to run the code. Well, it should be pretty safe given the nature of the change.

Loading CR3 as part of emulating vmentry is different from regular CR3 loads, as implemented in kvm_set_cr3, in several ways. * different rules are followed to check CR3 and it is desirable for the caller to distinguish between the possible failures * PDPTRs are not loaded if PAE paging and nested EPT are both enabled * many MMU operations are not necessary This patch introduces nested_vmx_load_cr3 suitable for CR3 loads as part of nested vmentry and vmexit, and makes use of it on the nested vmentry path.

It is possible that prepare_vmcs02 fails to load the guest state. This patch adds the proper error handling for such a case.

KVM does not correctly handle L1 hypervisors that emulate L2 real mode with PAE and EPT, such as Hyper-V. In this mode, the L1 hypervisor populates guest PDPTE VMCS fields and leaves guest CR3 uninitialized because it is not used (see 26.3.2.4 Loading Page-Directory-Pointer-Table Entries). KVM always dereferences CR3 and tries to load PDPTEs if PAE is on. This leads to two related issues: 1) On the first nested vmentry, the guest PDPTEs, as populated by L1, are overwritten in ept_load_pdptrs because the registers are believed to have been loaded in load_pdptrs as part of kvm_set_cr3. This is incorrect. L2 is running with PAE enabled but PDPTRs have been set up by L1. 2) When L2 is about to enable paging and loads its CR3, we, again, attempt to load PDPTEs in load_pdptrs called from kvm_set_cr3. There are no guarantees that this will succeed (it's just a CR3 load, paging is not enabled yet) and if it doesn't, kvm_set_cr3 returns early without persisting the CR3 which is then lost and L2 crashes right after it enables paging. This patch replaces the kvm_set_cr3 call with a simple register write if PAE and EPT are both on. CR3 is not to be interpreted in this case.

vmx_set_cr0() modifies GUEST_EFER and "IA-32e mode guest" in the current VMCS. Call vmx_set_efer() after vmx_set_cr0() so that emulated VM-entry is more faithful to VMCS12. This patch correctly causes VM-entry to fail when "IA-32e mode guest" is 1 and GUEST_CR0.PG is 0.

MSR_IA32_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 define which bits in CR0 and CR4 are allowed to be 1 during VMX operation. Since the set of allowed-1 bits is the same in and out of VMX operation, we can generate these MSRs entirely from the guest's CPUID. This lets userspace avoiding having to save/restore these MSRs. This patch also initializes MSR_IA32_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 from the CPU's MSRs by default. This is a saner than the current default of -1ull, which includes bits that the host CPU does not support.

KVM emulates MSR_IA32_VMX_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 with the value -1ULL, meaning all CR0 and CR4 bits are allowed to be 1 during VMX operation. This does not match real hardware, which disallows the high 32 bits of CR0 to be 1, and disallows reserved bits of CR4 to be 1 (including bits which are defined in the SDM but missing according to CPUID). A guest can induce a VM-entry failure by setting these bits in GUEST_CR0 and GUEST_CR4, despite MSR_IA32_VMX_CR{0,4}_FIXED1 indicating they are valid. Since KVM has allowed all bits to be 1 in CR0 and CR4, the existing checks on these registers do not verify must-be-0 bits. Fix these checks to identify must-be-0 bits according to MSR_IA32_VMX_CR{0,4}_FIXED1. This patch should introduce no change in behavior in KVM, since these MSRs are still -1ULL.

The VMX capability MSRs advertise the set of features the KVM virtual CPU can support. This set of features varies across different host CPUs and KVM versions. This patch aims to addresses both sources of differences, allowing VMs to be migrated across CPUs and KVM versions without guest-visible changes to these MSRs. Note that cross-KVM- version migration is only supported from this point forward. When the VMX capability MSRs are restored, they are audited to check that the set of features advertised are a subset of what KVM and the CPU support. Since the VMX capability MSRs are read-only, they do not need to be on the default MSR save/restore lists. The userspace hypervisor can set the values of these MSRs or read them from KVM at VCPU creation time, and restore the same value after every save/restore.

The "non-true" VMX capability MSRs can be generated from their "true" counterparts, by OR-ing the default1 bits. The default1 bits are fixed and defined in the SDM. Since we can generate the non-true VMX MSRs from the true versions, there's no need to store both in struct nested_vmx. This also lets userspace avoid having to restore the non-true MSRs. Note this does not preclude emulating MSR_IA32_VMX_BASIC[55]=0. To do so, we simply need to set all the default1 bits in the true MSRs (such that the true MSRs and the generated non-true MSRs are equal).

kvm_skip_emulated_instruction calls both kvm_x86_ops->skip_emulated_instruction and kvm_vcpu_check_singlestep, skipping the emulated instruction and generating a trap if necessary. Replacing skip_emulated_instruction calls with kvm_skip_emulated_instruction is straightforward, except for: - ICEBP, which is already inside a trap, so avoid triggering another trap. - Instructions that can trigger exits to userspace, such as the IO insns, MOVs to CR8, and HALT. If kvm_skip_emulated_instruction does trigger a KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP exit, and the handling code for IN/OUT/MOV CR8/HALT also triggers an exit to userspace, the latter will take precedence. The singlestep will be triggered again on the next instruction, which is the current behavior. - Task switch instructions which would require additional handling (e.g. the task switch bit) and are instead left alone. - Cases where VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME do not proceed to the next instruction, which do not trigger singlestep traps as mentioned previously.

KVM_HALT_POLL_NS_DEFAULT is an arch specific constant which sets the default value of the halt_poll_ns kvm module parameter which determines the global maximum halt polling interval. The current value for powerpc is 500000 (500us) which means that any repetitive workload with a period of less than that can drive the cpu usage to 100% where it may have been mostly idle without halt polling. This presents the possibility of a large increase in power usage with a comparatively small performance benefit. Reduce the default to 10000 (10us) and a user can tune this themselves to set their affinity for halt polling based on the trade off between power and performance which they are willing to make.

The kvm module parameter halt_poll_ns defines the global maximum halt polling interval and can be dynamically changed by writing to the /sys/module/kvm/parameters/halt_poll_ns sysfs file. However in kvm-hv this module parameter value is only ever checked when we grow the current polling interval for the given vcore. This means that if we decrease the halt_poll_ns value below the current polling interval we won't see any effect unless we try to grow the polling interval above the new max at some point or it happens to be shrunk below the halt_poll_ns value. Update the halt polling code so that we always check for a new module param value of halt_poll_ns and set the current halt polling interval to it if it's currently greater than the new max. This means that it's redundant to also perform this check in the grow_halt_poll_ns() function now.

The kvm module has the parameters halt_poll_ns, halt_poll_ns_grow, and halt_poll_ns_shrink. Halt polling was recently added to the powerpc kvm-hv module and these parameters were essentially duplicated for that. There is no benefit to this duplication and it can lead to confusion when trying to tune halt polling. Thus move the definition of these variables to kvm_host.h and export them. This will allow the kvm-hv module to use the same module parameters by accessing these variables, which will be implemented in the next patch, meaning that they will no longer be duplicated.

AMD hardware adds two additional bits to aid in nested page fault handling. Bit 32 - NPF occurred while translating the guest's final physical address Bit 33 - NPF occurred while translating the guest page tables The guest page tables fault indicator can be used as an aid for nested virtualization. Using V0 for the host, V1 for the first level guest and V2 for the second level guest, when both V1 and V2 are using nested paging there are currently a number of unnecessary instruction emulations. When V2 is launched shadow paging is used in V1 for the nested tables of V2. As a result, KVM marks these pages as RO in the host nested page tables. When V2 exits and we resume V1, these pages are still marked RO. Every nested walk for a guest page table is treated as a user-level write access and this causes a lot of NPFs because the V1 page tables are marked RO in the V0 nested tables. While executing V1, when these NPFs occur KVM sees a write to a read-only page, emulates the V1 instruction and unprotects the page (marking it RW). This patch looks for cases where we get a NPF due to a guest page table walk where the page was marked RO. It immediately unprotects the page and resumes the guest, leading to far fewer instruction emulations when nested virtualization is used.

With POWER9, each CPU thread has its own MMU context and can be in the host or a guest independently of the other threads; there is still however a restriction that all threads must use the same type of address translation, either radix tree or hashed page table (HPT). Since we only support HPT guests on a HPT host at this point, we can treat the threads as being independent, and avoid all of the work of coordinating the CPU threads. To make this simpler, we introduce a new threads_per_vcore() function that returns 1 on POWER9 and threads_per_subcore on POWER7/8, and use that instead of threads_per_subcore or threads_per_core in various places. This also changes the value of the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability on POWER9 systems from 4 to 1, so that userspace will not try to create VMs with multiple vcpus per vcore. (If userspace did create a VM that thought it was in an SMT mode, the VM might try to use the msgsndp instruction, which will not work as expected. In future it may be possible to trap and emulate msgsndp in order to allow VMs to think they are in an SMT mode, if only for the purpose of allowing migration from POWER8 systems.) With all this, we can now run guests on POWER9 as long as the host is running with HPT translation. Since userspace currently has no way to request radix tree translation for the guest, the guest has no choice but to use HPT translation. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

POWER9 includes a new interrupt controller, called XIVE, which is quite different from the XICS interrupt controller on POWER7 and POWER8 machines. KVM-HV accesses the XICS directly in several places in order to send and clear IPIs and handle interrupts from PCI devices being passed through to the guest. In order to make the transition to XIVE easier, OPAL firmware will include an emulation of XICS on top of XIVE. Access to the emulated XICS is via OPAL calls. The one complication is that the EOI (end-of-interrupt) function can now return a value indicating that another interrupt is pending; in this case, the XIVE will not signal an interrupt in hardware to the CPU, and software is supposed to acknowledge the new interrupt without waiting for another interrupt to be delivered in hardware. This adapts KVM-HV to use the OPAL calls on machines where there is no XICS hardware. When there is no XICS, we look for a device-tree node with "ibm,opal-intc" in its compatible property, which is how OPAL indicates that it provides XICS emulation. In order to handle the EOI return value, kvmppc_read_intr() has become kvmppc_read_one_intr(), with a boolean variable passed by reference which can be set by the EOI functions to indicate that another interrupt is pending. The new kvmppc_read_intr() keeps calling kvmppc_read_one_intr() until there are no more interrupts to process. The return value from kvmppc_read_intr() is the largest non-zero value of the returns from kvmppc_read_one_intr(). Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

POWER9 adds new capabilities to the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry) and tlbiel (local tlbie) instructions. Both instructions get a set of new parameters (RIC, PRS and R) which appear as bits in the instruction word. The tlbiel instruction now has a second register operand, which contains a PID and/or LPID value if needed, and should otherwise contain 0. This adapts KVM-HV's usage of tlbie and tlbiel to work on POWER9 as well as older processors. Since we only handle HPT guests so far, we need RIC=0 PRS=0 R=0, which ends up with the same instruction word as on previous processors, so we don't need to conditionally execute different instructions depending on the processor. The local flush on first entry to a guest in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S is a loop which depends on the number of TLB sets. Rather than using feature sections to set the number of iterations based on which CPU we're on, we now work out this number at VM creation time and store it in the kvm_arch struct. That will make it possible to get the number from the device tree in future, which will help with compatibility with future processors. Since mmu_partition_table_set_entry() does a global flush of the whole LPID, we don't need to do the TLB flush on first entry to the guest on each processor. Therefore we don't set all bits in the tlb_need_flush bitmap on VM startup on POWER9. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
