linux-toradex.git/Documentation/virt, branch v5.18 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules KVM: fix bad user ABI for KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT 2022-04-29T16:38:22+00:00 Paolo Bonzini pbonzini@redhat.com 2022-04-22T10:30:13+00:00 d495f942f40aa412f8d4d65951152648cfa09903 When KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT was introduced, it included a flags member that at the time was unused. Unfortunately this extensibility mechanism has several issues: - x86 is not writing the member, so it would not be possible to use it on x86 except for new events - the member is not aligned to 64 bits, so the definition of the uAPI struct is incorrect for 32- on 64-bit userspace. This is a problem for RISC-V, which supports CONFIG_KVM_COMPAT, but fortunately usage of flags was only introduced in 5.18. Since padding has to be introduced, place a new field in there that tells if the flags field is valid. To allow further extensibility, in fact, change flags to an array of 16 values, and store how many of the values are valid. The availability of the new ndata field is tied to a system capability; all architectures are changed to fill in the field. To avoid breaking compilation of userspace that was using the flags field, provide a userspace-only union to overlap flags with data[0]. The new field is placed at the same offset for both 32- and 64-bit userspace.

When KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT was introduced, it included a flags
member that at the time was unused.  Unfortunately this extensibility
mechanism has several issues:

- x86 is not writing the member, so it would not be possible to use it
  on x86 except for new events

- the member is not aligned to 64 bits, so the definition of the
  uAPI struct is incorrect for 32- on 64-bit userspace.  This is a
  problem for RISC-V, which supports CONFIG_KVM_COMPAT, but fortunately
  usage of flags was only introduced in 5.18.

Since padding has to be introduced, place a new field in there
that tells if the flags field is valid.  To allow further extensibility,
in fact, change flags to an array of 16 values, and store how many
of the values are valid.  The availability of the new ndata field
is tied to a system capability; all architectures are changed to
fill in the field.

To avoid breaking compilation of userspace that was using the flags
field, provide a userspace-only union to overlap flags with data[0].
The new field is placed at the same offset for both 32- and 64-bit
userspace.

KVM: Remove dirty handling from gfn_to_pfn_cache completely 2022-04-02T09:34:41+00:00 David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk 2022-03-03T15:41:12+00:00 cf1d88b36ba7e83bdaa50bccc4c47864e8f08cbe It isn't OK to cache the dirty status of a page in internal structures for an indefinite period of time. Any time a vCPU exits the run loop to userspace might be its last; the VMM might do its final check of the dirty log, flush the last remaining dirty pages to the destination and complete a live migration. If we have internal 'dirty' state which doesn't get flushed until the vCPU is finally destroyed on the source after migration is complete, then we have lost data because that will escape the final copy. This problem already exists with the use of kvm_vcpu_unmap() to mark pages dirty in e.g. VMX nesting. Note that the actual Linux MM already considers the page to be dirty since we have a writeable mapping of it. This is just about the KVM dirty logging. For the nesting-style use cases (KVM_GUEST_USES_PFN) we will need to track which gfn_to_pfn_caches have been used and explicitly mark the corresponding pages dirty before returning to userspace. But we would have needed external tracking of that anyway, rather than walking the full list of GPCs to find those belonging to this vCPU which are dirty. So let's rely *solely* on that external tracking, and keep it simple rather than laying a tempting trap for callers to fall into.

KVM: Don't actually set a request when evicting vCPUs for GFN cache invd 2022-04-02T09:34:39+00:00 Sean Christopherson seanjc@google.com 2022-02-23T16:53:02+00:00 df06dae3f2a8bfb83683abf88d3dcde23fc8093d Don't actually set a request bit in vcpu->requests when making a request purely to force a vCPU to exit the guest.

Note, it's currently impossible for KVM to set KVM_REQ_GPC_INVALIDATE as nothing in KVM is wired up to set guest_uses_pa=true.
