      i387: move TS_USEDFPU flag from thread_info to task_struct · f94edacf
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the
      FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own
      (called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu.
      
      This fixes two independent bugs at the same time:
      
       - changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty
         problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to
         be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was
         supposed to indicate).
      
         So perfectly valid code could (and did) do
      
      	ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK;
      
         and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store
         instructions.  Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task
         switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The
         change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store.
      
         In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field
         was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to
         generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus
         happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low
         fat and preemption-safe.
      
       - On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts
         and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because
         x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the
         separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd
         thread_info copy aliases.
      
         This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to
         look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at
         interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the
         heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel
         away the FPU state.
      
         (It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers).
      
      It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural
      for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they
      tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie
      scheduling).  And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is
      found there too.

      the %esp issue.

      i387: don't ever touch TS_USEDFPU directly, use helper functions · 6d59d7a9
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This creates three helper functions that do the TS_USEDFPU accesses, and
      makes everybody that used to do it by hand use those helpers instead.
      
      In addition, there's a couple of helper functions for the "change both
      CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU at the same time" case, and the places that do
      that together have been changed to use those.  That means that we have
      fewer random places that open-code this situation.
      
      The intent is partly to clarify the code without actually changing any
      semantics yet (since we clearly still have some hard to reproduce bug in
      this area), but also to make it much easier to use another approach
      entirely to caching the CR0.TS bit for software accesses.
      
      Right now we use a bit in the thread-info 'status' variable (this patch
      does not change that), but we might want to make it a full field of its
      own or even make it a per-cpu variable.

      KVM: nVMX: Fix warning-causing idt-vectoring-info behavior · 51cfe38e
      Nadav Har'El 提交于
      When L0 wishes to inject an interrupt while L2 is running, it emulates an exit
      to L1 with EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT. This was explained in the original
      nVMX patch 23, titled "Correct handling of interrupt injection".
      
      Unfortunately, it is possible (though rare) that at this point there is valid
      idt_vectoring_info in vmcs02. For example, L1 injected some interrupt to L2,
      and when L2 tried to run this interrupt's handler, it got a page fault - so
      it returns the original interrupt vector in idt_vectoring_info. The problem
      is that if this is the case, we cannot exit to L1 with EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT
      like we wished to, because the VMX spec guarantees that idt_vectoring_info
      and exit_reason_external_interrupt can never happen together. This is not
      just specified in the spec - a KVM L1 actually prints a kernel warning
      "unexpected, valid vectoring info" if we violate this guarantee, and some
      users noticed these warnings in L1's logs.
      
      In order to better emulate a processor, which would never return the external
      interrupt and the idt-vectoring-info together, we need to separate the two
      injection steps: First, complete L1's injection into L2 (i.e., enter L2,
      injecting to it the idt-vectoring-info); Second, after entry into L2 succeeds
      and it exits back to L0, exit to L1 with the EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT.
      Most of this is already in the code - the only change we need is to remain
      in L2 (and not exit to L1) in this case.
      
      Note that the previous patch ensures (by using KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT) that
      although we do enter L2 first, it will exit immediately after processing its
      injection, allowing us to promptly inject to L1.
      
      Note how we test vmcs12->idt_vectoring_info_field; This isn't really the
      vmcs12 value (we haven't exited to L1 yet, so vmcs12 hasn't been updated),
      but rather the place we save, at the end of vmx_vcpu_run, the vmcs02 value
      of this field. This was explained in patch 25 ("Correct handling of idt
      vectoring info") of the original nVMX patch series.

      KVM: nVMX: Add KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT · d6185f20
      Nadav Har'El 提交于
      This patch adds a new vcpu->requests bit, KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT.
      This bit requests that when next entering the guest, we should run it only
      for as little as possible, and exit again.
      
      We use this new option in nested VMX: When L1 launches L2, but L0 wishes L1
      to continue running so it can inject an event to it, we unfortunately cannot
      just pretend to have run L2 for a little while - We must really launch L2,
      otherwise certain one-off vmcs12 parameters (namely, L1 injection into L2)
      will be lost. So the existing code runs L2 in this case.
      But L2 could potentially run for a long time until it exits, and the
      injection into L1 will be delayed. The new KVM_REQ_IMMEDIATE_EXIT allows us
      to request that L2 will be entered, as necessary, but will exit as soon as
      possible after entry.
      
      Our implementation of this request uses smp_send_reschedule() to send a
      self-IPI, with interrupts disabled. The interrupts remain disabled until the
      guest is entered, and then, after the entry is complete (often including
      processing an injection and jumping to the relevant handler), the physical
      interrupt is noticed and causes an exit.
      
      On recent Intel processors, we could have achieved the same goal by using
      MTF instead of a self-IPI. Another technique worth considering in the future
      is to use VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT and a highest-priority vector IPI - to
      slightly improve performance by avoiding the useless interrupt handler
      which ends up being called when smp_send_reschedule() is used.

      of this function is that the TSC of all guests on this vcpu, L1 and possibly
      several L2s, need to be adjusted. To do this, we need to adjust vmcs01's
      tsc_offset (this offset will also apply to each L2s we enter). We can't set

      KVM: nVMX: Further fixes for lazy FPU loading · 36cf24e0
      Nadav Har'El 提交于
      KVM's "Lazy FPU loading" means that sometimes L0 needs to set CR0.TS, even
      if a guest didn't set it. Moreover, L0 must also trap CR0.TS changes and
      NM exceptions, even if we have a guest hypervisor (L1) who didn't want these
      traps. And of course, conversely: If L1 wanted to trap these events, we
      must let it, even if L0 is not interested in them.
      
      This patch fixes some existing KVM code (in update_exception_bitmap(),
      vmx_fpu_activate(), vmx_fpu_deactivate()) to do the correct merging of L0's
      and L1's needs. Note that handle_cr() was already fixed in the above patch,

      KVM: nVMX: Correct handling of idt vectoring info · 66c78ae4
      Nadav Har'El 提交于
      This patch adds correct handling of IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD for the nested
      case.
      
      When a guest exits while delivering an interrupt or exception, we get this
      information in IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD in the VMCS. When L2 exits to L1,
      there's nothing we need to do, because L1 will see this field in vmcs12, and
      handle it itself. However, when L2 exits and L0 handles the exit itself and
      plans to return to L2, L0 must inject this event to L2.
      
      In the normal non-nested case, the idt_vectoring_info case is discovered after
      the exit, and the decision to inject (though not the injection itself) is made
      at that point. However, in the nested case a decision of whether to return
      to L2 or L1 also happens during the injection phase (see the previous
      patches), so in the nested case we can only decide what to do about the
      idt_vectoring_info right after the injection, i.e., in the beginning of
      vmx_vcpu_run, which is the first time we know for sure if we're staying in
      L2.
      
      Therefore, when we exit L2 (is_guest_mode(vcpu)), we disable the regular
      vmx_complete_interrupts() code which queues the idt_vectoring_info for
      injection on next entry - because such injection would not be appropriate
      if we will decide to exit to L1. Rather, we just save the idt_vectoring_info
      and related fields in vmcs12 (which is a convenient place to save these
      fields). On the next entry in vmx_vcpu_run (*after* the injection phase,
      potentially exiting to L1 to inject an event requested by user space), if
      we find ourselves in L1 we don't need to do anything with those values
      we saved (as explained above). But if we find that we're in L2, or rather
      *still* at L2 (it's not nested_run_pending, meaning that this is the first
      round of L2 running after L1 having just launched it), we need to inject
      the event saved in those fields - by writing the appropriate VMCS fields.

      KVM: nVMX: Correct handling of interrupt injection · b6f1250e
      Nadav Har'El 提交于
      The code in this patch correctly emulates external-interrupt injection
      while a nested guest L2 is running.
      
      Because of this code's relative un-obviousness, I include here a longer-than-
      usual justification for what it does - much longer than the code itself ;-)
      
      To understand how to correctly emulate interrupt injection while L2 is
      running, let's look first at what we need to emulate: How would things look
      like if the extra L0 hypervisor layer is removed, and instead of L0 injecting
      an interrupt, we had hardware delivering an interrupt?
      
      Now we have L1 running on bare metal with a guest L2, and the hardware
      generates an interrupt. Assuming that L1 set PIN_BASED_EXT_INTR_MASK to 1, and
      VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT to 0 (we'll revisit these assumptions below), what
      happens now is this: The processor exits from L2 to L1, with an external-
      interrupt exit reason but without an interrupt vector. L1 runs, with
      interrupts disabled, and it doesn't yet know what the interrupt was. Soon
      after, it enables interrupts and only at that moment, it gets the interrupt
      from the processor. when L1 is KVM, Linux handles this interrupt.
      
      Now we need exactly the same thing to happen when that L1->L2 system runs
      on top of L0, instead of real hardware. This is how we do this:
      
      When L0 wants to inject an interrupt, it needs to exit from L2 to L1, with
      external-interrupt exit reason (with an invalid interrupt vector), and run L1.
      Just like in the bare metal case, it likely can't deliver the interrupt to
      L1 now because L1 is running with interrupts disabled, in which case it turns
      on the interrupt window when running L1 after the exit. L1 will soon enable
      interrupts, and at that point L0 will gain control again and inject the
      interrupt to L1.
      
      Finally, there is an extra complication in the code: when nested_run_pending,
      we cannot return to L1 now, and must launch L2. We need to remember the
      interrupt we wanted to inject (and not clear it now), and do it on the
      next exit.
      
      The above explanation shows that the relative strangeness of the nested
      interrupt injection code in this patch, and the extra interrupt-window
      exit incurred, are in fact necessary for accurate emulation, and are not
      just an unoptimized implementation.
      
      Let's revisit now the two assumptions made above:
      
      If L1 turns off PIN_BASED_EXT_INTR_MASK (no hypervisor that I know
      does, by the way), things are simple: L0 may inject the interrupt directly
      to the L2 guest - using the normal code path that injects to any guest.
      We support this case in the code below.
      
      If L1 turns on VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT, things look very different from the
      description above: L1 expects to see an exit from L2 with the interrupt vector
      already filled in the exit information, and does not expect to be interrupted
      again with this interrupt. The current code does not (yet) support this case,
      so we do not allow the VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT exit-control to be turned on
      by L1.

      KVM: nVMX: Deciding if L0 or L1 should handle an L2 exit · 644d711a
      Nadav Har'El 提交于
      This patch contains the logic of whether an L2 exit should be handled by L0
      and then L2 should be resumed, or whether L1 should be run to handle this
      exit (using the nested_vmx_vmexit() function of the previous patch).
      
      The basic idea is to let L1 handle the exit only if it actually asked to
      trap this sort of event. For example, when L2 exits on a change to CR0,
      we check L1's CR0_GUEST_HOST_MASK to see if L1 expressed interest in any
      bit which changed; If it did, we exit to L1. But if it didn't it means that
      it is we (L0) that wished to trap this event, so we handle it ourselves.
      
      The next two patches add additional logic of what to do when an interrupt or
      exception is injected: Does L0 need to do it, should we exit to L1 to do it,
      or should we resume L2 and keep the exception to be injected later.
      
      We keep a new flag, "nested_run_pending", which can override the decision of
      which should run next, L1 or L2. nested_run_pending=1 means that we *must* run
      L2 next, not L1. This is necessary in particular when L1 did a VMLAUNCH of L2
      and therefore expects L2 to be run (and perhaps be injected with an event it
      specified, etc.). Nested_run_pending is especially intended to avoid switching
      to L1 in the injection decision-point described above.

      KVM: nVMX: vmcs12 checks on nested entry · 7c177938
      Nadav Har'El 提交于
      This patch adds a bunch of tests of the validity of the vmcs12 fields,
      according to what the VMX spec and our implementation allows. If fields
      we cannot (or don't want to) honor are discovered, an entry failure is
      emulated.
      
      According to the spec, there are two types of entry failures: If the problem
      was in vmcs12's host state or control fields, the VMLAUNCH instruction simply
      fails. But a problem is found in the guest state, the behavior is more
      similar to that of an exit.

      KVM: nVMX: Exiting from L2 to L1 · 4704d0be
      Nadav Har'El 提交于
      This patch implements nested_vmx_vmexit(), called when the nested L2 guest
      exits and we want to run its L1 parent and let it handle this exit.
      
      Note that this will not necessarily be called on every L2 exit. L0 may decide
      to handle a particular exit on its own, without L1's involvement; In that
      case, L0 will handle the exit, and resume running L2, without running L1 and
      without calling nested_vmx_vmexit(). The logic for deciding whether to handle
      a particular exit in L1 or in L0, i.e., whether to call nested_vmx_vmexit(),
      will appear in a separate patch below.

      KVM: nVMX: No need for handle_vmx_insn function any more · 99e65e80
      Nadav Har'El 提交于
      Before nested VMX support, the exit handler for a guest executing a VMX
      instruction (vmclear, vmlaunch, vmptrld, vmptrst, vmread, vmread, vmresume,
      vmwrite, vmon, vmoff), was handle_vmx_insn(). This handler simply threw a #UD
      exception. Now that all these exit reasons are properly handled (and emulate
      the respective VMX instruction), nothing calls this dummy handler and it can
      be removed.
