Some aspects of vcpu configuration may be too complex to be completed inside KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT. Thus, there may be a requirement for userspace to do some additional configuration before various other ioctls will work in a consistent way. In particular this will be the case for SVE, where userspace will need to negotiate the set of vector lengths to be made available to the guest before the vcpu becomes fully usable. In order to provide an explicit way for userspace to confirm that it has finished setting up a particular vcpu feature, this patch adds a new ioctl KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE. When userspace has opted into a feature that requires finalization, typically by means of a feature flag passed to KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT, a matching call to KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE is now required before KVM_RUN or KVM_GET_REG_LIST is allowed. Individual features may impose additional restrictions where appropriate. No existing vcpu features are affected by this, so current userspace implementations will continue to work exactly as before, with no need to issue KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE. As implemented in this patch, KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE is currently a placeholder: no finalizable features exist yet, so ioctl is not required and will always yield EINVAL. Subsequent patches will add the finalization logic to make use of this ioctl for SVE. No functional change for existing userspace.

The Arm SVE architecture defines registers that are up to 2048 bits in size (with some possibility of further future expansion). In order to avoid the need for an excessively large number of ioctls when saving and restoring a vcpu's registers, this patch adds a #define to make support for individual 2048-bit registers through the KVM_{GET,SET}_ONE_REG ioctl interface official. This will allow each SVE register to be accessed in a single call. There are sufficient spare bits in the register id size field for this change, so there is no ABI impact, providing that KVM_GET_REG_LIST does not enumerate any 2048-bit register unless userspace explicitly opts in to the relevant architecture-specific features.

With every new Hyper-V Enlightenment we implement we're forced to add a KVM_CAP_HYPERV_* capability. While this approach works it is fairly inconvenient: the majority of the enlightenments we do have corresponding CPUID feature bit(s) and userspace has to know this anyways to be able to expose the feature to the guest. Add KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID ioctl (backed by KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID, "one cap to rule them all!") returning all Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves. Using the existing KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID doesn't seem to be possible: Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves intersect with KVM's (e.g. 0x40000000, 0x40000001) and we would probably confuse userspace in case we decide to return these twice. KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID's number is interim: we're intended to drop KVM_CAP_HYPERV_STIMER_DIRECT and use its number instead.

There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important, it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due to a benign race like this: 1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects them. 2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry. 3. Userspace actually copies the pages. 4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though they were not written to since (3). This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between (1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a 64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot; this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and only a small amount of time will pass between write protection of pages and the sending of their content.

This is a per-VM capability which can be enabled by userspace so that the faulting linear address will be included with the information about a pending #PF in L2, and the "new DR6 bits" will be included with the information about a pending #DB in L2. With this capability enabled, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #PF before CR2 is modified. Under VMX, the L1 hypervisor can now intercept #DB before DR6 and DR7 are modified. When userspace has enabled KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, it should generally provide an appropriate payload when injecting a #PF or #DB exception via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS. However, to support restoring old checkpoints, this payload is not required. Note that bit 16 of the "new DR6 bits" is set to indicate that a debug exception (#DB) or a breakpoint exception (#BP) occurred inside an RTM region while advanced debugging of RTM transactional regions was enabled. This is the reverse of DR6.RTM, which is cleared in this scenario. This capability also enables exception.pending in struct kvm_vcpu_events, which allows userspace to distinguish between pending and injected exceptions.

Coalesced pio is based on coalesced mmio and can be used for some port like rtc port, pci-host config port and so on. Specially in case of rtc as coalesced pio, some versions of windows guest access rtc frequently because of rtc as system tick. guest access rtc like this: write register index to 0x70, then write or read data from 0x71. writing 0x70 port is just as index and do nothing else. So we can use coalesced pio to handle this scene to reduce VM-EXIT time. When starting and closing a virtual machine, it will access pci-host config port frequently. So setting these port as coalesced pio can reduce startup and shutdown time. without my patch, get the vm-exit time of accessing rtc 0x70 and piix 0xcf8 using perf tools: (guest OS : windows 7 64bit) IO Port Access Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time 0x70:POUT 86 30.99% 74.59% 9us 29us 10.75us (+- 3.41%) 0xcf8:POUT 1119 2.60% 2.12% 2.79us 56.83us 3.41us (+- 2.23%) with my patch IO Port Access Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time 0x70:POUT 106 32.02% 29.47% 0us 10us 1.57us (+- 7.38%) 0xcf8:POUT 1065 1.67% 0.28% 0.41us 65.44us 0.66us (+- 10.55%) Signed-off-by: NPeng Hao <peng.hao2@zte.com.cn> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Allow specifying the physical address size limit for a new VM via the kvm_type argument for the KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl. This allows us to finalise the stage2 page table as early as possible and hence perform the right checks on the memory slots without complication. The size is encoded as Log2(PA_Size) in bits[7:0] of the type field. For backward compatibility the value 0 is reserved and implies 40bits. Also, lift the limit of the IPA to host limit and allow lower IPA sizes (e.g, 32). The userspace could check the extension KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE for the availability of this feature. The cap check returns the maximum limit for the physical address shift supported by the host.

Disabling access to reads of this MSR gives userspace the control to "expose" this platform-dependent information to guests in a clear way. As it exists today, guests that read this MSR would get unpopulated information if userspace hadn't already set it (and prior to this patch series, only the CPUID faulting information could have been populated).

For nested virtualization L0 KVM is managing a bit of state for L2 guests, this state can not be captured through the currently available IOCTLs. In fact the state captured through all of these IOCTLs is usually a mix of L1 and L2 state. It is also dependent on whether the L2 guest was running at the moment when the process was interrupted to save its state. With this capability, there are two new vcpu ioctls: KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE and KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE. These can be used for saving and restoring a VM that is in VMX operation.

General KVM huge page support on s390 has to be enabled via the kvm.hpage module parameter. Either nested or hpage can be enabled, as we currently do not support vSIE for huge backed guests. Once the vSIE support is added we will either drop the parameter or enable it as default. For a guest the feature has to be enabled through the new KVM_CAP_S390_HPAGE_1M capability and the hpage module parameter. Enabling it means that cmm can't be enabled for the vm and disables pfmf and storage key interpretation. This is due to the fact that in some cases, in upcoming patches, we have to split huge pages in the guest mapping to be able to set more granular memory protection on 4k pages. These split pages have fake page tables that are not visible to the Linux memory management which subsequently will not manage its PGSTEs, while the SIE will. Disabling these features lets us manage PGSTE data in a consistent matter and solve that problem.

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.

The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE!

Hyper-V identifies vCPUs by Virtual Processor Index, which can be queried via HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX msr. It is defined by the spec as a sequential number which can't exceed the maximum number of vCPUs per VM. APIC ids can be sparse and thus aren't a valid replacement for VP indices. Current KVM uses its internal vcpu index as VP_INDEX. However, to make it predictable and persistent across VM migrations, the userspace has to control the value of VP_INDEX. This patch achieves that, by storing vp_index explicitly on vcpu, and allowing HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX to be set from the host side. For compatibility it's initialized to KVM vcpu index. Also a few variables are renamed to make clear distinction betweed this Hyper-V vp_index and KVM vcpu_id (== APIC id). Besides, a new capability, KVM_CAP_HYPERV_VP_INDEX, is added to allow the userspace to skip attempting msr writes where unsupported, to avoid spamming error logs.

There is a flaw in the Hyper-V SynIC implementation in KVM: when message page or event flags page is enabled by setting the corresponding msr, KVM zeroes it out. This is problematic because on migration the corresponding MSRs are loaded on the destination, so the content of those pages is lost. This went unnoticed so far because the only user of those pages was in-KVM hyperv synic timers, which could continue working despite that zeroing. Newer QEMU uses those pages for Hyper-V VMBus implementation, and zeroing them breaks the migration. Besides, in newer QEMU the content of those pages is fully managed by QEMU, so zeroing them is undesirable even when writing the MSRs from the guest side. To support this new scheme, introduce a new capability, KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC2, which, when enabled, makes sure that the synic pages aren't zeroed out in KVM.

In case of KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS, the kernel does not only read struct kvm_s390_cmma_log passed from userspace (which constitutes _IOC_WRITE), it also writes back a return value (which constitutes _IOC_READ) making this an _IOWR ioctl instead of _IOW.

Now that userspace can set the virtual SMT mode by enabling the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability, it is useful for userspace to be able to query the set of possible virtual SMT modes. This provides a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT_POSSIBLE, to provide this information. The return value is a bitmap of possible modes, with bit N set if virtual SMT mode 2^N is available. That is, 1 indicates SMT1 is available, 2 indicates that SMT2 is available, 3 indicates that both SMT1 and SMT2 are available, and so on. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

This introduces a new KVM capability to control how KVM behaves on machine check exception (MCE) in HV KVM guests. If this capability has not been enabled, KVM redirects machine check exceptions to guest's 0x200 vector, if the address in error belongs to the guest. With this capability enabled, KVM will cause a guest exit with the exit reason indicating an NMI. The new capability is required to avoid problems if a new kernel/KVM is used with an old QEMU, running a guest that doesn't issue "ibm,nmi-register". As old QEMU does not understand the NMI exit type, it treats it as a fatal error. However, the guest could have handled the machine check error if the exception was delivered to guest's 0x200 interrupt vector instead of NMI exit in case of old QEMU.

Guests that are heavy on futexes end up IPI'ing each other a lot. That can lead to significant slowdowns and latency increase for those guests when running within KVM. If only a single guest is needed on a host, we have a lot of spare host CPU time we can throw at the problem. Modern CPUs implement a feature called "MWAIT" which allows guests to wake up sleeping remote CPUs without an IPI - thus without an exit - at the expense of never going out of guest context. The decision whether this is something sensible to use should be up to the VM admin, so to user space. We can however allow MWAIT execution on systems that support it properly hardware wise. This patch adds a CAP to user space and a KVM cpuid leaf to indicate availability of native MWAIT execution. With that enabled, the worst a guest can do is waste as many cycles as a "jmp ." would do, so it's not a privilege problem. We consciously do *not* expose the feature in our CPUID bitmap, as most people will want to benefit from sleeping vCPUs to allow for over commit. Reported-by: N"Gabriel L.

This allows the host kernel to handle H_PUT_TCE, H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE requests targeted an IOMMU TCE table used for VFIO without passing them to user space which saves time on switching to user space and back. This adds H_PUT_TCE/H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT/H_STUFF_TCE handlers to KVM. KVM tries to handle a TCE request in the real mode, if failed it passes the request to the virtual mode to complete the operation. If it a virtual mode handler fails, the request is passed to the user space; this is not expected to happen though. To avoid dealing with page use counters (which is tricky in real mode), this only accelerates SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 clients which are required to pre-register the userspace memory. The very first TCE request will be handled in the VFIO SPAPR TCE driver anyway as the userspace view of the TCE table (iommu_table::it_userspace) is not allocated till the very first mapping happens and we cannot call vmalloc in real mode. If we fail to update a hardware IOMMU table unexpected reason, we just clear it and move on as there is nothing really we can do about it - for example, if we hot plug a VFIO device to a guest, existing TCE tables will be mirrored automatically to the hardware and there is no interface to report to the guest about possible failures. This adds new attribute - KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE - to the VFIO KVM device. It takes a VFIO group fd and SPAPR TCE table fd and associates a physical IOMMU table with the SPAPR TCE table (which is a guest view of the hardware IOMMU table). The iommu_table object is cached and referenced so we do not have to look up for it in real mode. This does not implement the UNSET counterpart as there is no use for it - once the acceleration is enabled, the existing userspace won't disable it unless a VFIO container is destroyed; this adds necessary cleanup to the KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL handler. This advertises the new KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO capability to the user space. This adds real mode version of WARN_ON_ONCE() as the generic version causes problems with rcu_sched. Since we testing what vmalloc_to_phys() returns in the code, this also adds a check for already existing vmalloc_to_phys() call in kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect(). This finally makes use of vfio_external_user_iommu_id() which was introduced quite some time ago and was considered for removal. Tests show that this patch increases transmission speed from 220MB/s to 750..1020MB/s on 10Gb network (Chelsea CXGB3 10Gb ethernet card).

This adds a capability number for in-kernel support for VFIO on SPAPR platform. The capability will tell the user space whether in-kernel handlers of H_PUT_TCE can handle VFIO-targeted requests or not. If not, the user space must not attempt allocating a TCE table in the host kernel via the KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE KVM ioctl because in that case TCE requests will not be passed to the user space which is desired action in the situation like that.
