      kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter · f7819512
      由 Paolo Bonzini 提交于 
      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.

      KVM: x86: workaround SuSE's 2.6.16 pvclock vs masterclock issue · 54750f2c
      由 Marcelo Tosatti 提交于 
      SuSE's 2.6.16 kernel fails to boot if the delta between tsc_timestamp
and rdtsc is larger than a given threshold:

 * If we get more than the below threshold into the future, we rerequest
 * the real time from the host again which has only little offset then
 * that we need to adjust using the TSC.
 *
 * For now that threshold is 1/5th of a jiffie. That should be good
 * enough accuracy for completely broken systems, but also give us swing
 * to not call out to the host all the time.
 */
#define PVCLOCK_DELTA_MAX ((1000000000ULL / HZ) / 5)

Disable masterclock support (which increases said delta) in case the
boot vcpu does not use MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME_NEW.

Upstreams kernels which support pvclock vsyscalls (and therefore make
use of PVCLOCK_STABLE_BIT) use MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME_NEW.

      KVM: vmx: Unavailable DR4/5 is checked before CPL · 16f8a6f9
      由 Nadav Amit 提交于 
      If DR4/5 is accessed when it is unavailable (since CR4.DE is set), then #UD
should be generated even if CPL>0. This is according to Intel SDM Table 6-2:
"Priority Among Simultaneous Exceptions and Interrupts".

Note, that this may happen on the first DR access, even if the host does not
sets debug breakpoints. Obviously, it occurs when the host debugs the guest.

This patch moves the DR4/5 checks from __kvm_set_dr/_kvm_get_dr to handle_dr.
The emulator already checks DR4/5 availability in check_dr_read. Nested
virutalization related calls to kvm_set_dr/kvm_get_dr would not like to inject
exceptions to the guest.

As for SVM, the patch follows the previous logic as much as possible. Anyhow,
it appears the DR interception code might be buggy - even if the DR access
may cause an exception, the instruction is skipped.

      KVM: x86: some apic broadcast modes does not work · 394457a9
      由 Nadav Amit 提交于 
      KVM does not deliver x2APIC broadcast messages with physical mode.  Intel SDM
(10.12.9 ICR Operation in x2APIC Mode) states: "A destination ID value of
FFFF_FFFFH is used for broadcast of interrupts in both logical destination and
physical destination modes."

In addition, the local-apic enables cluster mode broadcast. As Intel SDM
10.6.2.2 says: "Broadcast to all local APICs is achieved by setting all
destination bits to one." This patch enables cluster mode broadcast.

The fix tries to combine broadcast in different modes through a unified code.

One rare case occurs when the source of IPI has its APIC disabled.  In such
case, the source can still issue IPIs, but since the source is not obliged to
have the same LAPIC mode as the enabled ones, we cannot rely on it.
Since it is a rare case, it is unoptimized and done on the slow-path.

      KVM: x86: Check non-canonical addresses upon WRMSR · 854e8bb1
      由 Nadav Amit 提交于 
      Upon WRMSR, the CPU should inject #GP if a non-canonical value (address) is
written to certain MSRs. The behavior is "almost" identical for AMD and Intel
(ignoring MSRs that are not implemented in either architecture since they would
anyhow #GP). However, IA32_SYSENTER_ESP and IA32_SYSENTER_EIP cause #GP if
non-canonical address is written on Intel but not on AMD (which ignores the top
32-bits).

Accordingly, this patch injects a #GP on the MSRs which behave identically on
Intel and AMD.  To eliminate the differences between the architecutres, the
value which is written to IA32_SYSENTER_ESP and IA32_SYSENTER_EIP is turned to
canonical value before writing instead of injecting a #GP.

Some references from Intel and AMD manuals:

According to Intel SDM description of WRMSR instruction #GP is expected on
WRMSR "If the source register contains a non-canonical address and ECX
specifies one of the following MSRs: IA32_DS_AREA, IA32_FS_BASE, IA32_GS_BASE,
IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE, IA32_LSTAR, IA32_SYSENTER_EIP, IA32_SYSENTER_ESP."

According to AMD manual instruction manual:
LSTAR/CSTAR (SYSCALL): "The WRMSR instruction loads the target RIP into the
LSTAR and CSTAR registers.  If an RIP written by WRMSR is not in canonical
form, a general-protection exception (#GP) occurs."
IA32_GS_BASE and IA32_FS_BASE (WRFSBASE/WRGSBASE): "The address written to the
base field must be in canonical form or a #GP fault will occur."
IA32_KERNEL_GS_BASE (SWAPGS): "The address stored in the KernelGSbase MSR must
be in canonical form."

This patch fixes CVE-2014-3610.

      kvm: Remove ept_identity_pagetable from struct kvm_arch. · a255d479
      由 Tang Chen 提交于 
      kvm_arch->ept_identity_pagetable holds the ept identity pagetable page. But
it is never used to refer to the page at all.

In vcpu initialization, it indicates two things:
1. indicates if ept page is allocated
2. indicates if a memory slot for identity page is initialized

Actually, kvm_arch->ept_identity_pagetable_done is enough to tell if the ept
identity pagetable is initialized. So we can remove ept_identity_pagetable.

NOTE: In the original code, ept identity pagetable page is pinned in memroy.
      As a result, it cannot be migrated/hot-removed. After this patch, since
      kvm_arch->ept_identity_pagetable is removed, ept identity pagetable page
      is no longer pinned in memory. And it can be migrated/hot-removed.

      kvm: x86: fix stale mmio cache bug · 56f17dd3
      由 David Matlack 提交于 
      The following events can lead to an incorrect KVM_EXIT_MMIO bubbling
up to userspace:

(1) Guest accesses gpa X without a memory slot. The gfn is cached in
struct kvm_vcpu_arch (mmio_gfn). On Intel EPT-enabled hosts, KVM sets
the SPTE write-execute-noread so that future accesses cause
EPT_MISCONFIGs.

(2) Host userspace creates a memory slot via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
covering the page just accessed.

(3) Guest attempts to read or write to gpa X again. On Intel, this
generates an EPT_MISCONFIG. The memory slot generation number that
was incremented in (2) would normally take care of this but we fast
path mmio faults through quickly_check_mmio_pf(), which only checks
the per-vcpu mmio cache. Since we hit the cache, KVM passes a
KVM_EXIT_MMIO up to userspace.

This patch fixes the issue by using the memslot generation number
to validate the mmio cache.
