The "acknowledge interrupt on exit" feature controls processor behavior for external interrupt acknowledgement. When this control is set, the processor acknowledges the interrupt controller to acquire the interrupt vector on VM exit. After enabling this feature, an interrupt which arrived when target cpu is running in vmx non-root mode will be handled by vmx handler instead of handler in idt. Currently, vmx handler only fakes an interrupt stack and jump to idt table to let real handler to handle it. Further, we will recognize the interrupt and only delivery the interrupt which not belong to current vcpu through idt table. The interrupt which belonged to current vcpu will be handled inside vmx handler. This will reduce the interrupt handle cost of KVM. Also, interrupt enable logic is changed if this feature is turnning on: Before this patch, hypervior call local_irq_enable() to enable it directly. Now IF bit is set on interrupt stack frame, and will be enabled on a return from interrupt handler if exterrupt interrupt exists. If no external interrupt, still call local_irq_enable() to enable it.

There is a potential use after free issue with the handling of MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME. If the guest specifies a GPA in a movable or removable memory such as frame buffers then KVM might continue to write to that address even after it's removed via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION. KVM pins the page in memory so it's unlikely to cause an issue, but if the user space component re-purposes the memory previously used for the guest, then the guest will be able to corrupt that memory.

When we create or move a memory slot, we need to zap mmio sptes. Currently, zap_all() is used for this and this is causing two problems: - extra page faults after zapping mmu pages - long mmu_lock hold time during zapping mmu pages For the latter, Marcelo reported a disastrous mmu_lock hold time during hot-plug, which made the guest unresponsive for a long time. This patch takes a simple way to fix these problems: do not zap mmu pages unless they are marked mmio cached. On our test box, this took only 50us for the 4GB guest and we did not see ms of mmu_lock hold time any more. Note that we still need to do zap_all() for other cases. So another work is also needed: Xiao's work may be the one.

A VCPU sending INIT or SIPI to some other VCPU races for setting the remote VCPU's mp_state. When we were unlucky, KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED was overwritten by kvm_emulate_halt and, thus, got lost. This introduces APIC events for those two signals, keeping them in kvm_apic until kvm_apic_accept_events is run over the target vcpu context. kvm_apic_has_events reports to kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable if there are pending events, thus if vcpu blocking should end. The patch comes with the side effect of effectively obsoleting KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED. We still accept it from user space, but immediately translate it to KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED + KVM_APIC_SIPI. The vcpu itself will no longer enter the KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED state. That also means we no longer exit to user space after receiving a SIPI event. Furthermore, we already reset the VCPU on INIT, only fixing up the code segment later on when SIPI arrives. Moreover, we fix INIT handling for the BSP: it never enter wait-for-SIPI but directly starts over on INIT.

Virtual interrupt delivery avoids KVM to inject vAPIC interrupts manually, which is fully taken care of by the hardware. This needs some special awareness into existing interrupr injection path: - for pending interrupt, instead of direct injection, we may need update architecture specific indicators before resuming to guest. - A pending interrupt, which is masked by ISR, should be also considered in above update action, since hardware will decide when to inject it at right time.

With the 3 private slots, this gives us a nice round 128 slots total. The primary motivation for this is to support more assigned devices. Each assigned device can theoretically use up to 8 slots (6 MMIO BARs, 1 ROM BAR, 1 spare for a split MSI-X table mapping) though it's far more typical for a device to use 3-4 slots. If we assume a typical VM uses a dozen slots for non-assigned devices purposes, we should always be able to support 14 worst case assigned devices or 28 to 37 typical devices.

CPUID.7.0.EBX[1]=1 indicates IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR 0x3b is supported Basic design is to emulate the MSR by allowing reads and writes to a guest vcpu specific location to store the value of the emulated MSR while adding the value to the vmcs tsc_offset. In this way the IA32_TSC_ADJUST value will be included in all reads to the TSC MSR whether through rdmsr or rdtsc. This is of course as long as the "use TSC counter offsetting" VM-execution control is enabled as well as the IA32_TSC_ADJUST control. However, because hardware will only return the TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST + vmsc tsc_offset for a guest process when it does and rdtsc (with the correct settings) the value of our virtualized IA32_TSC_ADJUST must be stored in one of these three locations. The argument against storing it in the actual MSR is performance. This is likely to be seldom used while the save/restore is required on every transition. IA32_TSC_ADJUST was created as a way to solve some issues with writing TSC itself so that is not an option either. The remaining option, defined above as our solution has the problem of returning incorrect vmcs tsc_offset values (unless we intercept and fix, not done here) as mentioned above. However, more problematic is that storing the data in vmcs tsc_offset will have a different semantic effect on the system than does using the actual MSR. This is illustrated in the following example: The hypervisor set the IA32_TSC_ADJUST, then the guest sets it and a guest process performs a rdtsc. In this case the guest process will get TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST_hyperviser + vmsc tsc_offset including IA32_TSC_ADJUST_guest. While the total system semantics changed the semantics as seen by the guest do not and hence this will not cause a problem.

In order to track who initiated the call (host or guest) to modify an msr value I have changed function call parameters along the call path. The specific change is to add a struct pointer parameter that points to (index, data, caller) information rather than having this information passed as individual parameters. The initial use for this capability is for updating the IA32_TSC_ADJUST msr while setting the tsc value. It is anticipated that this capability is useful for other tasks.

With master clock, a pvclock clock read calculates: ret = system_timestamp + [ (rdtsc + tsc_offset) - tsc_timestamp ] Where 'rdtsc' is the host TSC. system_timestamp and tsc_timestamp are unique, one tuple per VM: the "master clock". Given a host with synchronized TSCs, its obvious that guest TSC must be matched for the above to guarantee monotonicity. Allow master clock usage only if guest TSCs are synchronized.

KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest. One of the reasons for that is that the time between 1. ktime_get_ts(×pec); 2. rdtscll(tsc); Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above. The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...). If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details. Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs and guest TSCs. Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read clock from userspace. Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

The bitmap is recalculated when rarely-changing variables change (cr0, cr4) and is indexed by the often-changing variables (page fault error code, pte access permissions). The permission check is moved to the end of the loop, otherwise an SMEP fault could be reported as a false positive, when PDE.U=1 but PTE.U=0. Noted by Xiao Guangrong.

Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory. This reduces the number of exits an interrupt causes as much as by half. The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory, that tells the guest that it does not need EOI. We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using a test and clear operation - this is necessary so that host can detect interrupt nesting - and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR. There's a new MSR to set the address of said register in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed: - Guest EOI is not required - Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit For testing results see description of previous patch 'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.
