The only user of the fpu_activate hook was dropped in commit 2d04a05b (KVM: x86 emulator: emulate CLTS internally, 2011-04-20). vmx_fpu_activate and svm_fpu_activate are still called on #NM (and for Intel CLTS), but never from common code; hence, there's no need for a hook.

Haswell and newer Intel CPUs have support for RTM, and in that case DR6.RTM is not fixed to 1 and DR7.RTM is not fixed to zero. That is not the case in the current KVM implementation. This bug is apparent only if the MOV-DR instruction is emulated or the host also debugs the guest. This patch is a partial fix which enables DR6.RTM and DR7.RTM to be cleared and set respectively. It also sets DR6.RTM upon every debug exception. Obviously, it is not a complete fix, as debugging of RTM is still unsupported.

For the next patch we will need to know the full state of the interrupt shadow; we will then set KVM_REQ_EVENT when one bit is cleared. However, right now get_interrupt_shadow only returns the one corresponding to the emulated instruction, or an unconditional 0 if the emulated instruction does not have an interrupt shadow. This is confusing and does not allow us to check for cleared bits as mentioned above. Clean the callback up, and modify toggle_interruptibility to match the comment above the call. As a small result, the call to set_interrupt_shadow will be skipped in the common case where int_shadow == 0 && mask == 0. Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

I've observed kvmclock being marked as unstable on a modern single-socket system with a stable TSC and qemu-1.6.2 or qemu-2.0.0. The culprit was failure in TSC matching because of overflow of kvm_arch::nr_vcpus_matched_tsc in case there were multiple TSC writes in a single synchronization cycle. Turns out that qemu does multiple TSC writes during init, below is the evidence of that (qemu-2.0.0): The first one: 0xffffffffa08ff2b4 : vmx_write_tsc_offset+0xa4/0xb0 [kvm_intel] 0xffffffffa04c9c05 : kvm_write_tsc+0x1a5/0x360 [kvm] 0xffffffffa04cfd6b : kvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate+0x4b/0x80 [kvm] 0xffffffffa04b8188 : kvm_vm_ioctl+0x418/0x750 [kvm] The second one: 0xffffffffa08ff2b4 : vmx_write_tsc_offset+0xa4/0xb0 [kvm_intel] 0xffffffffa04c9c05 : kvm_write_tsc+0x1a5/0x360 [kvm] 0xffffffffa090610d : vmx_set_msr+0x29d/0x350 [kvm_intel] 0xffffffffa04be83b : do_set_msr+0x3b/0x60 [kvm] 0xffffffffa04c10a8 : msr_io+0xc8/0x160 [kvm] 0xffffffffa04caeb6 : kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl+0xc86/0x1060 [kvm] 0xffffffffa04b6797 : kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0xc7/0x5a0 [kvm] #0 kvm_vcpu_ioctl at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/kvm-all.c:1780 #1 kvm_put_msrs at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/target-i386/kvm.c:1270 #2 kvm_arch_put_registers at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/target-i386/kvm.c:1909 #3 kvm_cpu_synchronize_post_init at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/kvm-all.c:1641 #4 cpu_synchronize_post_init at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/include/sysemu/kvm.h:330 #5 cpu_synchronize_all_post_init () at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/cpus.c:521 #6 main at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/vl.c:4390 The third one: 0xffffffffa08ff2b4 : vmx_write_tsc_offset+0xa4/0xb0 [kvm_intel] 0xffffffffa04c9c05 : kvm_write_tsc+0x1a5/0x360 [kvm] 0xffffffffa090610d : vmx_set_msr+0x29d/0x350 [kvm_intel] 0xffffffffa04be83b : do_set_msr+0x3b/0x60 [kvm] 0xffffffffa04c10a8 : msr_io+0xc8/0x160 [kvm] 0xffffffffa04caeb6 : kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl+0xc86/0x1060 [kvm] 0xffffffffa04b6797 : kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0xc7/0x5a0 [kvm] #0 kvm_vcpu_ioctl at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/kvm-all.c:1780 #1 kvm_put_msrs at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/target-i386/kvm.c:1270 #2 kvm_arch_put_registers at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/target-i386/kvm.c:1909 #3 kvm_cpu_synchronize_post_reset at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/kvm-all.c:1635 #4 cpu_synchronize_post_reset at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/include/sysemu/kvm.h:323 #5 cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset () at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/cpus.c:512 #6 main at /build/buildd/qemu-2.0.0+dfsg/vl.c:4482 The fix is to count each vCPU only once when matched, so that nr_vcpus_matched_tsc holds the size of the matched set. This is achieved by reusing generation counters. Every vCPU with this_tsc_generation == cur_tsc_generation is in the matched set. The match set is cleared by setting cur_tsc_generation to a value which no other vCPU is set to (by incrementing it). I needed to bump up the counter size form u8 to u64 to ensure it never overflows. Otherwise in cases TSC is not written the same number of times on each vCPU the counter could overflow and incorrectly indicate some vCPUs as being in the matched set. This scenario seems unlikely but I'm not sure if it can be disregarded. Signed-off-by: NTomasz Grabiec <tgrabiec@cloudius-systems.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

CS.RPL is not equal to the CPL in the few instructions between setting CR0.PE and reloading CS. And CS.DPL is also not equal to the CPL for conforming code segments. However, SS.DPL *is* always equal to the CPL except for the weird case of SYSRET on AMD processors, which sets SS.DPL=SS.RPL from the value in the STAR MSR, but force CPL=3 (Intel instead forces SS.DPL=SS.RPL=CPL=3). So this patch: - modifies SVM to update the CPL from SS.DPL rather than CS.RPL; the above case with SYSRET is not broken further, and the way to fix it would be to pass the CPL to userspace and back - modifies VMX to always return the CPL from SS.DPL (except forcing it to 0 if we are emulating real mode via vm86 mode; in vm86 mode all DPLs have to be 3, but real mode does allow privileged instructions). It also removes the CPL cache, which becomes a duplicate of the SS access rights cache. This fixes doing KVM_IOCTL_SET_SREGS exactly after setting CR0.PE=1 but before CS has been reloaded.

When not running in guest-debug mode, the guest controls the debug registers and having to take an exit for each DR access is a waste of time. If the guest gets into a state where each context switch causes DR to be saved and restored, this can take away as much as 40% of the execution time from the guest. After this patch, VMX- and SVM-specific code can set a flag in switch_db_regs, telling vcpu_enter_guest that on the next exit the debug registers might be dirty and need to be reloaded (syncing will be taken care of by a new callback in kvm_x86_ops). This flag can be set on the first access to a debug registers, so that multiple accesses to the debug registers only cause one vmexit. Note that since the guest will be able to read debug registers and enable breakpoints in DR7, we need to ensure that they are synchronized on entry to the guest---including DR6 that was not synced before.

Invoke this callback at the relevant points before KVM checks if IRQs/NMIs can be injected. The callback has the task to switch from L2 to L1 if needed and inject the proper vmexit events. The rework fixes L2 wakeups from HLT and provides the foundation for preemption timer emulation.

commit 0061d53d introduced a mechanism to execute a global clock update for a vm. We can apply this periodically in order to propagate host NTP corrections. Also, if all vcpus of a vm are pinned, then without an additional trigger, no guest NTP corrections can propagate either, as the current trigger is only vcpu cpu migration.

When we update a vcpu's local clock it may pick up an NTP correction. We can't wait an indeterminate amount of time for other vcpus to pick up that correction, so commit 0061d53d introduced a global clock update. However, we can't request a global clock update on every vcpu load either (which is what happens if the tsc is marked as unstable). The solution is to rate-limit the global clock updates. Marcelo calculated that we should delay the global clock updates no more than 0.1s as follows: Assume an NTP correction c is applied to one vcpu, but not the other, then in n seconds the delta of the vcpu system_timestamps will be c * n. If we assume a correction of 500ppm (worst-case), then the two vcpus will diverge 50us in 0.1s, which is a considerable amount.

This patch tries to introduce a very simple and scale way to invalidate all mmio sptes - it need not walk any shadow pages and hold mmu-lock KVM maintains a global mmio valid generation-number which is stored in kvm->memslots.generation and every mmio spte stores the current global generation-number into his available bits when it is created When KVM need zap all mmio sptes, it just simply increase the global generation-number. When guests do mmio access, KVM intercepts a MMIO #PF then it walks the shadow page table and get the mmio spte. If the generation-number on the spte does not equal the global generation-number, it will go to the normal #PF handler to update the mmio spte Since 19 bits are used to store generation-number on mmio spte, we zap all mmio sptes when the number is round Signed-off-by: NXiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NGleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
