      KVM: VMX: Enable acknowledge interupt on vmexit · a547c6db
      Yang Zhang 提交于
      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.
      
      Refer to Intel SDM volum 3, chapter 33.2.

      pmu: prepare for migration support · afd80d85
      Paolo Bonzini 提交于
      In order to migrate the PMU state correctly, we need to restore the
      values of MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS (a read-only register) and
      MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL (which has side effects when written).
      We also need to write the full 40-bit value of the performance counter,
      which would only be possible with a v3 architectural PMU's full-width
      counter MSRs.
      
      To distinguish host-initiated writes from the guest's, pass the

      KVM: x86: Rework INIT and SIPI handling · 66450a21
      Jan Kiszka 提交于
      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.

      KVM: x86: Emulate IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR · ba904635
      Will Auld 提交于
      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.

      KVM: x86: Add code to track call origin for msr assignment · 8fe8ab46
      Will Auld 提交于
      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.

      KVM: x86: require matched TSC offsets for master clock · b48aa97e
      Marcelo Tosatti 提交于
      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: x86: implement PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT pvclock flag · d828199e
      Marcelo Tosatti 提交于
      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(&timespec);
      	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.

      KVM: VMX: Implement PCID/INVPCID for guests with EPT · ad756a16
      Mao, Junjie 提交于
      This patch handles PCID/INVPCID for guests.
      
      Process-context identifiers (PCIDs) are a facility by which a logical processor
      may cache information for multiple linear-address spaces so that the processor
      may retain cached information when software switches to a different linear
      address space. Refer to section 4.10.1 in IA32 Intel Software Developer's Manual
      Volume 3A for details.
      
      For guests with EPT, the PCID feature is enabled and INVPCID behaves as running
      natively.
      For guests without EPT, the PCID feature is disabled and INVPCID triggers #UD.

      KVM: host side for eoi optimization · ae7a2a3f
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      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'.

      KVM: MMU: Don't use RCU for lockless shadow walking · c142786c
      Avi Kivity 提交于
      Using RCU for lockless shadow walking can increase the amount of memory

      isn't good for scaling.
      
      Replace that with a scheme similar to x86's get_user_pages_fast(): disable
      interrupts during lockless shadow walk to force the freer
      (kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()) to wait for the TLB flush IPI to find the
      processor with interrupts enabled.
      
      We also add a new vcpu->mode, READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES, to prevent
      kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() from avoiding the IPI.
