47a98b15ba arm/arm64: KVM: support for un-queuing active IRQs
Migrating active interrupts causes the active state to be lost
completely. This implements some additional bitmaps to track the active
state on the distributor and export this to user space.

174178fed3 KVM: arm/arm64: add irqfd support
This patch enables irqfd on arm/arm64.

Both irqfd and resamplefd are supported. Injection is implemented
in vgic.c without routing.

This patch enables CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD and CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

KVM_CAP_IRQFD is now advertised. KVM_CAP_IRQFD_RESAMPLE capability
automatically is advertised as soon as CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD is set.

Irqfd injection is restricted to SPI. The rationale behind not
supporting PPI irqfd injection is that any device using a PPI would
be a private-to-the-CPU device (timer for instance), so its state
would have to be context-switched along with the VCPU and would
require in-kernel wiring anyhow. It is not a relevant use case for
irqfds.

01c94e64f5 KVM: introduce kvm_arch_intc_initialized and use it in irqfd
Introduce __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_INTC_INITIALIZED define and
associated kvm_arch_intc_initialized function. This latter
allows to test whether the virtual interrupt controller is initialized
and ready to accept virtual IRQ injection. On some architectures,
the virtual interrupt controller is dynamically instantiated, justifying
that kind of check.

The new function can now be used by irqfd to check whether the
virtual interrupt controller is ready on KVM_IRQFD request. If not,
KVM_IRQFD returns -EAGAIN.

0f37247574 KVM: vgic: add virt-capable compatible strings
Several dts only list "arm,cortex-a7-gic" or "arm,gic-400" in their GIC
compatible list, and while this is correct (and supported by the GIC
driver), KVM will fail to detect that it can support these cases.

This patch adds the missing strings to the VGIC code. The of_device_id
entries are padded to keep the probe function data aligned.

b9085bcbf5 Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.
Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
 instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures).
 This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes
 or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This also has to be enabled manually for now,
 but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future.
 
 ARM/ARM64: the highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
 tracking
 
 s390: several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
 exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
 it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)
 
 MIPS: Bugfixes.
 
 x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
 Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization
 improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation
 fixes.  There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
 timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.
 
 Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
 have already included his tree.
 
 ARM has other conflicts where functions are added in the same place
 by 3.19-rc and 3.20 patches.  These are not large though, and entirely
 within KVM.

f781951299 kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.

This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest.  KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too.  When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.

With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest.  This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.

Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host.  The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.

The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter.  It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.

While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls.  During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark.  The wasted time is thus very low.  Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.

The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer.  Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns.  For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

With all of the GICv3 code in place now we allow userland to ask the
kernel for using a virtual GICv3 in the guest.
Also we provide the necessary support for guests setting the memory

This requires some userland code to make use of that feature and
explicitly ask for a virtual GICv3.
Document that KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP only works for GICv2, but is
considered legacy and using KVM_CREATE_DEVICE is preferred.

b5d84ff600 arm/arm64: KVM: enable kernel side of GICv3 emulation
With all the necessary GICv3 emulation code in place, we can now
connect the code to the GICv3 backend in the kernel.
The LR register handling is different depending on the emulated GIC
model, so provide different implementations for each.
Also allow non-v2-compatible GICv3 implementations (which don't
provide MMIO regions for the virtual CPU interface in the DT), but
restrict those hosts to support GICv3 guests only.
If the device tree provides a GICv2 compatible GICV resource entry,
but that one is faulty, just disable the GICv2 emulation and let the
user use at least the GICv3 emulation for guests.
To provide proper support for the legacy KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl,
note virtual GICv2 compatibility in struct vgic_params and use it
on creating a VGICv2.

6d52f35af1 arm64: KVM: add SGI generation register emulation
While the generation of a (virtual) inter-processor interrupt (SGI)
on a GICv2 works by writing to a MMIO register, GICv3 uses the system
register ICC_SGI1R_EL1 to trigger them.
Add a trap handler function that calls the new SGI register handler
in the GICv3 code. As ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE at this point is still always 0,
this will not trap yet, but will only be used later when all the data
structures have been initialized properly.

to provide handler functions for each register group.

Currently we limit the emulation to a model enforcing a single
security state, with SRE==1 (forcing system register access) and
ARE==1 (allowing more than 8 VCPUs).

We share some of the functions provided for GICv2 emulation, but take
the different ways of addressing (v)CPUs into account.
Save and restore is currently not implemented.

Similar to the split-off of the GICv2 specific code, the new emulation
code goes into a new file (vgic-v3-emul.c).

does the access. On a GICv3 the access to a CPU redistributor is
memory-mapped, but not banked, so the (v)CPU affected is determined by

To allow passing the affected CPU into the accessors later, extend
struct kvm_exit_mmio to add an opaque private pointer parameter.

d97f683d0f arm/arm64: KVM: refactor MMIO accessors
The MMIO accessors for GICD_I[CS]ENABLER, GICD_I[CS]PENDR and
GICD_ICFGR behave very similar for GICv2 and GICv3, although the way
the affected VCPU is determined differs.
Since we need them to access the registers from three different
places in the future, we factor out a generic, backend-facing
implementation and use small wrappers in the current GICv2 emulation.
This will ease adding GICv3 accessors later.

2f5fa41a7a arm/arm64: KVM: make the value of ICC_SRE_EL1 a per-VM variable
ICC_SRE_EL1 is a system register allowing msr/mrs accesses to the
GIC CPU interface for EL1 (guests). Currently we force it to 0, but
for proper GICv3 support we have to allow guests to use it (depending
on their selected virtual GIC model).
So add ICC_SRE_EL1 to the list of saved/restored registers on a
world switch, but actually disallow a guest to change it by only
restoring a fixed, once-initialized value.
This value depends on the GIC model userland has chosen for a guest.

3caa2d8c3b arm/arm64: KVM: make the maximum number of vCPUs a per-VM value
Currently the maximum number of vCPUs supported is a global value
limited by the used GIC model. GICv3 will lift this limit, but we
still need to observe it for guests using GICv2.
So the maximum number of vCPUs is per-VM value, depending on the
GIC model the guest uses.
Store and check the value in struct kvm_arch, but keep it down to
8 for now.

Currently we only have one virtual GIC model supported, so all guests

Introduce a vgic_vm_ops struct to hold function pointers for those

Also split up the vgic_init() function to separate out VGIC model
specific functionality into a separate function, which will later be

065c003482 KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: add init entry to VGIC KVM device
Since the advent of VGIC dynamic initialization, this latter is
initialized quite late on the first vcpu run or "on-demand", when
injecting an IRQ or when the guest sets its registers.

This initialization could be initiated explicitly much earlier
by the users-space, as soon as it has provided the requested
dimensioning parameters.

This patch adds a new entry to the VGIC KVM device that allows
the user to manually request the VGIC init:
- a new KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL group is introduced.
- Its first attribute is KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT

The rationale behind introducing a group is to be able to add other
controls later on, if needed.

efbeec7098 kvm: fix sorting of memslots with base_gfn == 0
Before commit 0e60b0799f (kvm: change memslot sorting rule from size
to GFN, 2014-12-01), the memslots' sorting key was npages, meaning
that a valid memslot couldn't have its sorting key equal to zero.
On the other hand, a valid memslot can have base_gfn == 0, and invalid
memslots are identified by base_gfn == npages == 0.

Because of this, commit 0e60b0799f broke the invariant that invalid
memslots are at the end of the mslots array.  When a memslot with
base_gfn == 0 was created, any invalid memslot before it were left
in place.

This can be fixed by changing the insertion to use a ">=" comparison
instead of "<=", but some care is needed to avoid breaking the case
of deleting a memslot; see the comment in update_memslots.

Thanks to Tiejun Chen for posting an initial patch for this bug.

05971120fc arm/arm64: KVM: Require in-kernel vgic for the arch timers
It is curently possible to run a VM with architected timers support
without creating an in-kernel VGIC, which will result in interrupts from
the virtual timer going nowhere.

To address this issue, move the architected timers initialization to the
time when we run a VCPU for the first time, and then only initialize
(and enable) the architected timers if we have a properly created and
initialized in-kernel VGIC.

When injecting interrupts from the virtual timer to the vgic, the
current setup should ensure that this never calls an on-demand init of
the VGIC, which is the only call path that could return an error from
kvm_vgic_inject_irq(), so capture the return value and raise a warning
if there's an error there.

We also change the kvm_timer_init() function from returning an int to be
a void function, since the function always succeeds.

Userspace assumes that it can wire up IRQ injections after having
created all VCPUs and after having created the VGIC, but potentially
before starting the first VCPU.  This can currently lead to lost IRQs
because the state of that IRQ injection is not stored anywhere and we
don't return an error to userspace.

We haven't seen this problem manifest itself yet, presumably because
guests reset the devices on boot, but this could cause issues with
migration and other non-standard startup configurations.

6d3cfbe21b arm/arm64: KVM: vgic: move reset initialization into vgic_init_maps()
VGIC initialization currently happens in three phases:
 (1) kvm_vgic_create() (triggered by userspace GIC creation)
 (2) vgic_init_maps() (triggered by userspace GIC register read/write
     requests, or from kvm_vgic_init() if not already run)
 (3) kvm_vgic_init() (triggered by first VM run)

We were doing initialization of some state to correspond with the
state of a freshly-reset GIC in kvm_vgic_init(); this is too late,
since it will overwrite changes made by userspace using the
register access APIs before the VM is run. Move this initialization
earlier, into the vgic_init_maps() phase.

This fixes a bug where QEMU could successfully restore a saved
VM state snapshot into a VM that had already been run, but could
not restore it "from cold" using the -loadvm command line option
(the symptoms being that the restored VM would run but interrupts
were ignored).

Finally rename vgic_init_maps to vgic_init and renamed kvm_vgic_init to
kvm_vgic_map_resources.

  [ This patch is originally written by Peter Maydell, but I have
    modified it somewhat heavily, renaming various bits and moving code
    around.  If something is broken, I am to be blamed. - Christoffer ]

We currently track the pid of the task that runs the VCPU in vcpu_load.
If a yield to that VCPU is triggered while the PID of the wrong thread
is active, the wrong thread might receive a yield, but this will most
likely not help the executing thread at all.  Instead, if we only track
the pid on the KVM_RUN ioctl, there are two possibilities:

1) the thread that did a non-KVM_RUN ioctl is holding a mutex that
the VCPU thread is waiting for.  In this case, the VCPU thread is not
runnable, but we also do not do a wrong yield.

2) the thread that did a non-KVM_RUN ioctl is sleeping, or doing
something that does not block the VCPU thread.  In this case, the
VCPU thread can receive the directed yield correctly.

eed6e79d73 KVM: don't check for PF_VCPU when yielding
kvm_enter_guest() has to be called with preemption disabled and will
set PF_VCPU.  Current code takes PF_VCPU as a hint that the VCPU thread
is running and therefore needs no yield.

However, the check on PF_VCPU is wrong on s390, where preemption has
to stay enabled in order to correctly process page faults.  Thus,
s390 reenables preemption and starts to execute the guest.  The thread
might be scheduled out between kvm_enter_guest() and kvm_exit_guest(),
resulting in PF_VCPU being set but not being run.  When this happens,
the opportunity for directed yield is missed.

However, this check is done already in kvm_vcpu_on_spin before calling
kvm_vcpu_yield_loop:

        if (!ACCESS_ONCE(vcpu->preempted))
                continue;

so the check on PF_VCPU is superfluous in general, and this patch
removes it.
