As gmap shadows contains correct protection permissions, protection exceptons can directly be forwarded to guest 3. If we would encounter a protection exception while faulting, the next guest 3 run will automatically handle that for us. Keep the dat_protection logic in place, as it will be helpful later.

Instead of doing it in the caller, let's just take the mmap_sem in kvm_s390_shadow_fault(). By taking it as read, we allow parallel faulting on shadow page tables, gmap shadow code is prepared for that.

Before any thread is allowed to use a gmap_shadow, it has to be fully initialized. However, for invalidation to work properly, we have to register the new gmap_shadow before we protect the parent gmap table. Because locking is tricky, and we have to avoid duplicate gmaps, let's introduce an initialized field, that signalizes other threads if that gmap_shadow can already be used or if they have to retry. Let's properly return errors using ERR_PTR() instead of simply returning NULL, so a caller can properly react on the error.

We have to unlock sg->guest_table_lock in order to call gmap_protect_rmap(). If we sleep just before that call, another VCPU might pick up that shadowed page table (while it is not protected yet) and use it. In order to avoid these races, we have to introduce a third state - "origin set but still invalid" for an entry. This way, we can avoid another thread already using the entry before the table is fully protected. As soon as everything is set up, we can clear the invalid bit - if we had no race with the unshadowing code.

We really want to avoid manually handling protection for nested virtualization. By shadowing pages with the protection the guest asked us for, the SIE can handle most protection-related actions for us (e.g. special handling for MVPG) and we can directly forward protection exceptions to the guest. PTEs will now always be shadowed with the correct _PAGE_PROTECT flag. Unshadowing will take care of any guest changes to the parent PTE and any host changes to the host PTE. If the host PTE doesn't have the fitting access rights or is not available, we have to fix it up.

For now, the tlb of shadow gmap is only flushed when the parent is removed, not when it is removed upfront. Therefore other shadow gmaps can reuse the tables without the tlb getting flushed. Fix this by simply flushing the tlb 1. Before the shadow tables are removed (analogouos to other unshadow functions) 2. When the gmap is freed and therefore the top level pages are freed.

This patch introduces function kvm_s390_shadow_fault() used to resolve a fault on a shadow gmap. This function will do validity checking and build up the shadow page table hierarchy in order to fault in the requested page into the shadow page table structure. If an exception occurs while shadowing, guest 2 has to be notified about it using either an exception or a program interrupt intercept. If concurrent unshadowing occurres, this function will simply return with -EAGAIN and the caller has to retry.

For a nested KVM guest the outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables for the nested guest. This patch adds the basic support to the guest address space (gmap) code. For each guest address space the inner KVM host creates, the first outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables. The address space is identified by the ASCE loaded into the control register 1 at the time the inner SIE instruction for the second nested KVM guest is executed. The outer KVM host creates the shadow tables starting with the table identified by the ASCE on a on-demand basis. The outer KVM host will get repeated faults for all the shadow tables needed to run the second KVM guest. While a shadow page table for the second KVM guest is active the access to the origin region, segment and page tables needs to be restricted for the first KVM guest. For region and segment and page tables the first KVM guest may read the memory, but write attempt has to lead to an unshadow. This is done using the page invalid and read-only bits in the page table of the first KVM guest. If the first guest re-accesses one of the origin pages of a shadow, it gets a fault and the affected parts of the shadow page table hierarchy needs to be removed again. PGSTE tables don't have to be shadowed, as all interpretation assist can't deal with the invalid bits in the shadow pte being set differently than the original ones provided by the first KVM guest.

The current gmap pte notifier forces a pte into to a read-write state. If the pte is invalidated the gmap notifier is called to inform KVM that the mapping will go away. Extend this approach to allow read-write, read-only and no-access as possible target states and call the pte notifier for any change to the pte. This mechanism is used to temporarily set specific access rights for a pte without doing the heavy work of a true mprotect call.

Hook the VMX preemption timer to the "hv timer" functionality added by the previous patch. This includes: checking if the feature is supported, if the feature is broken on the CPU, the hooks to setup/clean the VMX preemption timer, arming the timer on vmentry and handling the vmexit.

The VMX preemption timer can be used to virtualize the TSC deadline timer. The VMX preemption timer is armed when the vCPU is running, and a VMExit will happen if the virtual TSC deadline timer expires. When the vCPU thread is blocked because of HLT, KVM will switch to use an hrtimer, and then go back to the VMX preemption timer when the vCPU thread is unblocked. This solution avoids the complex OS's hrtimer system, and the host timer interrupt handling cost, replacing them with a little math (for guest->host TSC and host TSC->preemption timer conversion) and a cheaper VMexit. This benefits latency for isolated pCPUs. [A word about performance... Yunhong reported a 30% reduction in average latency from cyclictest. I made a similar test with tscdeadline_latency from kvm-unit-tests, and measured - ~20 clock cycles loss (out of ~3200, so less than 1% but still statistically significant) in the worst case where the test halts just after programming the TSC deadline timer - ~800 clock cycles gain (25% reduction in latency) in the best case where the test busy waits.

The race between creating the irqchip and the first VCPU is currently fixed by checking the presence of an irqchip before updating kvm->online_vcpus, and undoing the whole VCPU creation if someone created the irqchip in the meanwhile. Instead, introduce a new field in struct kvm that will count VCPUs under a mutex, without the atomic access and memory ordering that we need elsewhere to protect the vcpus array.

The comm page which is mapped into the guest kernel address space at 0x0 has the unfortunate side effect of allowing guest kernel NULL pointer dereferences to succeed. The only constraint on this address is that it must be within 32KiB of 0x0, so that single lw/sw instructions (which have 16-bit signed offset fields) can be used to access it, using the zero register as a base. So lets move the comm page as high as possible within that constraint so that 0x0 can be left unmapped, at least for page sizes < 32KiB.

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-next-4.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into HEAD KVM: s390: Features and fixes for 4.8 part1 Four bigger things: 1. The implementation of the STHYI opcode in the kernel. This is used in libraries like qclib [1] to provide enough information for a capacity and usage based software licence pricing. The STHYI content is defined by the related z/VM documentation [2]. Its data can be composed by accessing several other interfaces provided by LPAR or the machine. This information is partially sensitive or root-only so the kernel does the necessary filtering. 2. Preparation for nested virtualization (VSIE). KVM should query the proper sclp interfaces for the availability of some features before using it. In the past we have been sloppy and simply assumed that several features are available. With this we should be able to handle most cases of a missing feature. 3. CPU model interfaces extended by some additional features that are not covered by a facility bit in STFLE. For example all the crypto instructions of the coprocessor provide a query function. As reality tends to be more complex (e.g. export regulations might block some algorithms) we have to provide additional interfaces to query or set these non-stfle features. 4. Several fixes and changes detected and fixed when doing 1-3. All features change base s390 code. All relevant patches have an ACK from the s390 or component maintainers. The next pull request for 4.8 (part2) will contain the implementation of VSIE.
