2016-05-11kvm: introduce KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDGreg Kurz
The KVM_MAX_VCPUS define provides the maximum number of vCPUs per guest, and also the upper limit for vCPU ids. This is okay for all archs except PowerPC which can have higher ids, depending on the cpu/core/thread topology. In the worst case (single threaded guest, host with 8 threads per core), it limits the maximum number of vCPUS to KVM_MAX_VCPUS / 8. This patch separates the vCPU numbering from the total number of vCPUs, with the introduction of KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID, as the maximal valid value for vCPU ids plus one. The corresponding KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID allows userspace to validate vCPU ids before passing them to KVM_CREATE_VCPU. This patch only implements KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID with a specific value for PowerPC. Other archs continue to return KVM_MAX_VCPUS instead.

2016-04-20KVM: s390: add clear I/O irq operation for FLICHalil Pasic
Introduce a FLIC operation for clearing I/O interrupts for a subchannel. Rationale: According to the platform specification, pending I/O interruption requests have to be revoked in certain situations. For instance, according to the Principles of Operation (page 17-27), a subchannel put into the installed parameters initialized state is in the same state as after an I/O system reset (just parameters possibly changed). This implies that any I/O interrupts for that subchannel are no longer pending (as I/O system resets clear I/O interrupts). Therefore, we need an interface to clear pending I/O interrupts.

2016-03-10KVM: MMU: fix ept=0/pte.u=1/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0/CR4.SMEP=1/EFER.NX=0 comboPaolo Bonzini
Yes, all of these are needed. :) This is admittedly a bit odd, but kvm-unit-tests access.flat tests this if you run it with "-cpu host" and of course ept=0. KVM runs the guest with CR0.WP=1, so it must handle supervisor writes specially when pte.u=1/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0. Such writes cause a fault when U=1 and W=0 in the SPTE, but they must succeed because CR0.WP=0. When KVM gets the fault, it sets U=0 and W=1 in the shadow PTE and restarts execution. This will still cause a user write to fault, while supervisor writes will succeed. User reads will fault spuriously now, and KVM will then flip U and W again in the SPTE (U=1, W=0). User reads will be enabled and supervisor writes disabled, going back to the originary situation where supervisor writes fault spuriously. When SMEP is in effect, however, U=0 will enable kernel execution of this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets NX=1 in the shadow PTE together with U=0. If the guest has not enabled NX, the result is a continuous stream of page faults due to the NX bit being reserved. The fix is to force EFER.NX=1 even if the CPU is taking care of the EFER switch. (All machines with SMEP have the CPU_LOAD_IA32_EFER vm-entry control, so they do not use user-return notifiers for EFER---if they did, EFER.NX would be forced to the same value as the host). There is another bug in the reserved bit check, which I've split to a separate patch for easier application to stable kernels.

2016-02-16KVM: PPC: Add support for multiple-TCE hcallsAlexey Kardashevskiy
This adds real and virtual mode handlers for the H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE hypercalls for user space emulated devices such as IBMVIO devices or emulated PCI. These calls allow adding multiple entries (up to 512) into the TCE table in one call which saves time on transition between kernel and user space. The current implementation of kvmppc_h_stuff_tce() allows it to be executed in both real and virtual modes so there is one helper. The kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect() needs to translate the guest address to the host address and since the translation is different, there are 2 helpers - one for each mode. This implements the KVM_CAP_PPC_MULTITCE capability. When present, the kernel will try handling H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE if these are enabled by the userspace via KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL. If they can not be handled by the kernel, they are passed on to the user space. The user space still has to have an implementation for these. Both HV and PR-syle KVM are supported.

At some call sites of rmap_get_first() and rmap_get_next(), BUG_ON is placed right after the call to detect unrelated sptes which must not be found in the reverse-mapping list. Move this check in rmap_get_first/next() so that all call sites, not just the users of the for_each_rmap_spte() macro, will be checked the same way. One thing to keep in mind is that kvm_mmu_unlink_parents() also uses rmap_get_first() to handle parent sptes.

2015-11-25kvm/x86: Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controllerAndrey Smetanin
SynIC (synthetic interrupt controller) is a lapic extension, which is controlled via MSRs and maintains for each vCPU - 16 synthetic interrupt "lines" (SINT's); each can be configured to trigger a specific interrupt vector optionally with auto-EOI semantics - a message page in the guest memory with 16 256-byte per-SINT message slots - an event flag page in the guest memory with 16 2048-bit per-SINT event flag areas The host triggers a SINT whenever it delivers a new message to the corresponding slot or flips an event flag bit in the corresponding area. The guest informs the host that it can try delivering a message by explicitly asserting EOI in lapic or writing to End-Of-Message (EOM) MSR. The userspace (qemu) triggers interrupts and receives EOM notifications via irqfd with resampler; for that, a GSI is allocated for each configured SINT, and irq_routing api is extended to support GSI-SINT mapping.

2015-10-01KVM: x86: Add support for local interrupt requests from userspaceSteve Rutherford
In order to enable userspace PIC support, the userspace PIC needs to be able to inject local interrupts even when the APICs are in the kernel. KVM_INTERRUPT now supports sending local interrupts to an APIC when APICs are in the kernel. The ready_for_interrupt_request flag is now only set when the CPU/APIC will immediately accept and inject an interrupt (i.e. APIC has not masked the PIC). When the PIC wishes to initiate an INTA cycle with, say, CPU0, it kicks CPU0 out of the guest, and renedezvous with CPU0 once it arrives in userspace. When the CPU/APIC unmasks the PIC, a KVM_EXIT_IRQ_WINDOW_OPEN is triggered, so that userspace has a chance to inject a PIC interrupt if it had been pending. Overall, this design can lead to a small number of spurious userspace renedezvous. In particular, whenever the PIC transistions from low to high while it is masked and whenever the PIC becomes unmasked while it is low. Note: this does not buffer more than one local interrupt in the kernel, so the VMM needs to enter the guest in order to complete interrupt injection before injecting an additional interrupt. Compiles for x86. Can pass the KVM Unit Tests. Signed-off-by: Steve Rutherford <srutherford@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2015-10-01KVM: x86: Add EOI exit bitmap inferenceSteve Rutherford
In order to support a userspace IOAPIC interacting with an in kernel APIC, the EOI exit bitmaps need to be configurable. If the IOAPIC is in userspace (i.e. the irqchip has been split), the EOI exit bitmaps will be set whenever the GSI Routes are configured. In particular, for the low MSI routes are reservable for userspace IOAPICs. For these MSI routes, the EOI Exit bit corresponding to the destination vector of the route will be set for the destination VCPU. The intention is for the userspace IOAPICs to use the reservable MSI routes to inject interrupts into the guest. This is a slight abuse of the notion of an MSI Route, given that MSIs classically bypass the IOAPIC. It might be worthwhile to add an additional route type to improve clarity. Compile tested for Intel x86. Signed-off-by: Steve Rutherford <srutherford@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2015-10-01KVM: x86: Add KVM exit for IOAPIC EOIsSteve Rutherford
Adds KVM_EXIT_IOAPIC_EOI which allows the kernel to EOI level-triggered IOAPIC interrupts. Uses a per VCPU exit bitmap to decide whether or not the IOAPIC needs to be informed (which is identical to the EOI_EXIT_BITMAP field used by modern x86 processors, but can also be used to elide kvm IOAPIC EOI exits on older processors). [Note: A prototype using ResampleFDs found that decoupling the EOI from the VCPU's thread made it possible for the VCPU to not see a recent EOI after reentering the guest. This does not match real hardware.] Compile tested for Intel x86. Signed-off-by: Steve Rutherford <srutherford@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2015-07-21KVM: arm64: guest debug, add SW break point supportAlex Bennée
This adds support for SW breakpoints inserted by userspace. We do this by trapping all guest software debug exceptions to the hypervisor (MDCR_EL2.TDE). The exit handler sets an exit reason of KVM_EXIT_DEBUG with the kvm_debug_exit_arch structure holding the exception syndrome information. It will be up to userspace to extract the PC (via GET_ONE_REG) and determine if the debug event was for a breakpoint it inserted. If not userspace will need to re-inject the correct exception restart the hypervisor to deliver the debug exception to the guest. Any other guest software debug exception (e.g. single step or HW assisted breakpoints) will cause an error and the VM to be killed. This is addressed by later patches which add support for the other debug types.

2015-06-05KVM: x86: add SMM to the MMU role, support SMRAM address spacePaolo Bonzini
This is now very simple to do. The only interesting part is a simple trick to find the right memslot in gfn_to_rmap, retrieving the address space from the spte role word. The same trick is used in the auditing code. The comment on top of union kvm_mmu_page_role has been stale forever, so remove it. Speaking of stale code, remove pad_for_nice_hex_output too: it was splitting the "access" bitfield across two bytes and thus had effectively turned into pad_for_ugly_hex_output.

Introducing KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS for disabling x86 quirks that were previous created in order to overcome QEMU issues. Those issue were mostly result of invalid VM BIOS. Currently there are two quirks that can be disabled: 1. KVM_QUIRK_LINT0_REENABLED - LINT0 was enabled after boot 2. KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED - CD and NW are cleared after boot These two issues are already resolved in recent releases of QEMU, and would therefore be disabled by QEMU.

2015-04-21KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add fast real-mode H_RANDOM implementation.Michael Ellerman
Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator. This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency oscillators and are almost completely entropic. PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one 64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for all the threads in the same virtual core. Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.
