Advance lapic timer tries to hidden the hypervisor overhead between the
host emulated timer fires and the guest awares the timer is fired. However,
it just hidden the time between apic_timer_fn/handle_preemption_timer ->
wait_lapic_expire, instead of the real position of vmentry which is
mentioned in the orignial commit d0659d946b ("KVM: x86: add option to
advance tscdeadline hrtimer expiration"). There is 700+ cpu cycles between
the end of wait_lapic_expire and before world switch on my haswell desktop.
This patch tries to narrow the last gap(wait_lapic_expire -> world switch),
it takes the real overhead time between apic_timer_fn/handle_preemption_timer
and before world switch into consideration when adaptively tuning timer
advancement. The patch can reduce 40% latency (~1600+ cycles to ~1000+ cycles
on a haswell desktop) for kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency when testing
busy waits.

wait_lapic_expire() call was moved above guest_enter_irqoff() because of
its tracepoint, which violated the RCU extended quiescent state invoked
by guest_enter_irqoff()[1][2]. This patch simply moves the tracepoint
below guest_exit_irqoff() in vcpu_enter_guest(). Snapshot the delta before
VM-Enter, but trace it after VM-Exit. This can help us to move
wait_lapic_expire() just before vmentry in the later patch.

Checking for a pending non-periodic interrupt in start_hv_timer() leads
to restart_apic_timer() making an unnecessary call to start_sw_timer()
due to start_hv_timer() returning false.
Alternatively, start_hv_timer() could return %true when there is a
pending non-periodic interrupt, but that approach is less intuitive,
i.e. would require a beefy comment to explain an otherwise simple check.

doing anything visibily wrong, e.g. generate spurious interrupts or miss

To minimize the latency of timer interrupts as observed by the guest,
KVM adjusts the values it programs into the host timers to account for
the host's overhead of programming and handling the timer event. In
the event that the adjustments are too aggressive, i.e. the timer fires
earlier than the guest expects, KVM busy waits immediately prior to
entering the guest.
Currently, KVM manually converts the delay from nanoseconds to clock
cycles. But, the conversion is done in the guest's time domain, while
the delay occurs in the host's time domain. This is perfectly ok when
the guest and host are using the same TSC ratio, but if the guest is
using a different ratio then the delay may not be accurate and could
wait too little or too long.
When the guest is not using the host's ratio, convert the delay from
guest clock cycles to host nanoseconds and use ndelay() instead of
__delay() to provide more accurate timing. Because converting to
nanoseconds is relatively expensive, e.g. requires division and more
multiplication ops, continue using __delay() directly when guest and
host TSCs are running at the same ratio.

Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
The introduction of adaptive tuning of lapic timer advancement did not
allow for the scenario where userspace would want to disable adaptive
tuning but still employ timer advancement, e.g. for testing purposes or
to handle a use case where adaptive tuning is unable to settle on a
suitable time. This is epecially pertinent now that KVM places a hard
threshold on the maximum advancment time.
Rework the timer semantics to accept signed values, with a value of '-1'
being interpreted as "use adaptive tuning with KVM's internal default",
and any other value being used as an explicit advancement time, e.g. a
time of '0' effectively disables advancement.
Note, this does not completely restore the original behavior of
lapic_timer_advance_ns. Prior to tracking the advancement per vCPU,
which is necessary to support autotuning, userspace could adjust
lapic_timer_advance_ns for *running* vCPU. With per-vCPU tracking, the
module params are snapshotted at vCPU creation, i.e. applying a new
advancement effectively requires restarting a VM.
Dynamically updating a running vCPU is possible, e.g. a helper could be
added to retrieve the desired delay, choosing between the global module
param and the per-VCPU value depending on whether or not auto-tuning is
(globally) enabled, but introduces a great deal of complexity. The
wrapper itself is not complex, but understanding and documenting the
effects of dynamically toggling auto-tuning and/or adjusting the timer
advancement is nigh impossible since the behavior would be dependent on
KVM's implementation as well as compiler optimizations. In other words,
providing stable behavior would require extremely careful consideration
now and in the future.
Given that the expected use of a manually-tuned timer advancement is to
"tune once, run many", use the vastly simpler approach of recognizing
changes to the module params only when creating a new vCPU.

Automatically adjusting the globally-shared timer advancement could
corrupt the timer, e.g. if multiple vCPUs are concurrently adjusting
the advancement value. That could be partially fixed by using a local
variable for the arithmetic, but it would still be susceptible to a
race when setting timer_advance_adjust_done.
And because virtual_tsc_khz and tsc_scaling_ratio are per-vCPU, the
correct calibration for a given vCPU may not apply to all vCPUs.
Furthermore, lapic_timer_advance_ns is marked __read_mostly, which is
effectively violated when finding a stable advancement takes an extended
amount of timer.
Opportunistically change the definition of lapic_timer_advance_ns to
a u32 so that it matches the style of struct kvm_timer. Explicitly
pass the param to kvm_create_lapic() so that it doesn't have to be
exposed to lapic.c, thus reducing the probability of unintentionally
using the global value instead of the per-vCPU value.

To minimize the latency of timer interrupts as observed by the guest,
KVM adjusts the values it programs into the host timers to account for
the host's overhead of programming and handling the timer event. Now
that the timer advancement is automatically tuned during runtime, it's
effectively unbounded by default, e.g. if KVM is running as L1 the
advancement can measure in hundreds of milliseconds.
Disable timer advancement if adaptive tuning yields an advancement of
more than 5000ns, as large advancements can break reasonable assumptions
of the guest, e.g. that a timer configured to fire after 1ms won't
arrive on the next instruction. Although KVM busy waits to mitigate the
case of a timer event arriving too early, complications can arise when
shifting the interrupt too far, e.g. kvm-unit-test's vmx.interrupt test
will fail when its "host" exits on interrupts as KVM may inject the INTR
before the guest executes STI+HLT. Arguably the unit test is "broken"
in the sense that delaying a timer interrupt by 1ms doesn't technically
guarantee the interrupt will arrive after STI+HLT, but it's a reasonable
assumption that KVM should support.
Furthermore, an unbounded advancement also effectively unbounds the time
spent busy waiting, e.g. if the guest programs a timer with a very large
delay.
5000ns is a somewhat arbitrary threshold. When running on bare metal,
which is the intended use case, timer advancement is expected to be in
the general vicinity of 1000ns. 5000ns is high enough that false
positives are unlikely, while not being so high as to negatively affect
the host's performance/stability.
Note, a future patch will enable userspace to disable KVM's adaptive
tuning, which will allow priveleged userspace will to specifying an
advancement value in excess of this arbitrary threshold in order to
satisfy an abnormal use case.

If guest sets MSR_IA32_TSCDEADLINE to value such that in host
time-domain it's shorter than lapic_timer_advance_ns, we can
reach a case that we call hrtimer_start() with expiration time set at
the past.
Because lapic_timer.timer is init with HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_PINNED, it
is not allowed to run in softirq and therefore will never expire.
To avoid such a scenario, verify that deadline expiration time is set on
host time-domain further than (now + lapic_timer_advance_ns).
A future patch can also consider adding a min_timer_deadline_ns module parameter,
similar to min_timer_period_us to avoid races that amount of ns it takes
to run logic could still call hrtimer_start() with expiration timer set
at the past.

There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the life of
the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's cgroup. If the
allocations aren't tied to the process, the OOM killer will not know
that killing the process will free the associated kernel memory.
Add __GFP_ACCOUNT flags to many of the allocations which are not yet being
charged to the VM process's cgroup.
Tested:
Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a 64 bit Haswell machine, the patch
introduced no new failures.
Ran a kernel memory accounting test which creates a VM to touch
memory and then checks that the kernel memory allocated for the
process is within certain bounds.
With this patch we account for much more of the vmalloc and slab memory
allocated for the VM.
There remain a few allocations which should be charged to the VM's
cgroup but are not. In x86, they include:
vcpu->arch.pio_data
There allocations are unaccounted in this patch because they are mapped
to userspace, and accounting them to a cgroup causes problems. This

In cloud environment, lapic_timer_advance_ns is needed to be tuned for every CPU
generations, and every host kernel versions(the kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency.flat
is 5700 cycles for upstream kernel and 9600 cycles for our 3.10 product kernel,
both preemption_timer=N, Skylake server).
This patch adds the capability to automatically tune lapic_timer_advance_ns
step by step, the initial value is 1000ns as 'commit d0659d946b ("KVM: x86:
add option to advance tscdeadline hrtimer expiration")' recommended, it will be
reduced when it is too early, and increased when it is too late. The guest_tsc
and tsc_deadline are hard to equal, so we assume we are done when the delta
is within a small scope e.g. 100 cycles. This patch reduces latency
(kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency, busy waits, preemption_timer enabled)
from ~2600 cyles to ~1200 cyles on our Skylake server.

When VMX is used with flexpriority disabled (because of no support or
if disabled with module parameter) MMIO interface to lAPIC is still
available in x2APIC mode while it shouldn't be (kvm-unit-tests):
PASS: apic_disable: Local apic enabled in x2APIC mode
PASS: apic_disable: CPUID.1H:EDX.APIC[bit 9] is set
FAIL: apic_disable: *0xfee00030: 50014
The issue appears because we basically do nothing while switching to
x2APIC mode when APIC access page is not used. apic_mmio_{read,write}
only check if lAPIC is disabled before proceeding to actual write.
When APIC access is virtualized we correctly manipulate with VMX controls
in vmx_set_virtual_apic_mode() and we don't get vmexits from memory writes
in x2APIC mode so there's no issue.
Disabling MMIO interface seems to be easy. The question is: what do we
do with these reads and writes? If we add apic_x2apic_mode() check to
apic_mmio_in_range() and return -EOPNOTSUPP these reads and writes will
go to userspace. When lAPIC is in kernel, Qemu uses this interface to
inject MSIs only (see kvm_apic_mem_write() in hw/i386/kvm/apic.c). This
somehow works with disabled lAPIC but when we're in xAPIC mode we will
get a real injected MSI from every write to lAPIC. Not good.
The simplest solution seems to be to just ignore writes to the region
and return ~0 for all reads when we're in x2APIC mode. This is what this
patch does. However, this approach is inconsistent with what currently
happens when flexpriority is enabled: we allocate APIC access page and
create KVM memory region so in x2APIC modes all reads and writes go to
this pre-allocated page which is, btw, the same for all vCPUs.

Dan Carpenter reported that the untrusted data returns from kvm_register_read()
results in the following static checker warning:
arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c:576 kvm_pv_send_ipi()
error: buffer underflow 'map->phys_map' 's32min-s32max'
KVM guest can easily trigger this by executing the following assembly sequence
in Ring0:
mov $10, %rax
mov $0xFFFFFFFF, %rbx
mov $0xFFFFFFFF, %rdx
mov $0, %rsi
vmcall
As this will cause KVM to execute the following code-path:
vmx_handle_exit() -> handle_vmcall() -> kvm_emulate_hypercall() -> kvm_pv_send_ipi()
which will reach out-of-bounds access.
This patch fixes it by adding a check to kvm_pv_send_ipi() against map->max_apic_id,
ignoring destinations that are not present and delivering the rest. We also check
whether or not map->phys_map[min + i] is NULL since the max_apic_id is set to the
max apic id, some phys_map maybe NULL when apic id is sparse, especially kvm
unconditionally set max_apic_id to 255 to reserve enough space for any xAPIC ID.

For x86 this brings in PCID emulation and CR3 caching for shadow page
tables, nested VMX live migration, nested VMCS shadowing, an optimized
IPI hypercall, and some optimizations.
ARM will come next week.
There is a semantic conflict because tip also added an .init_platform
callback to kvm.c. Please keep the initializer from this branch,
and add a call to kvmclock_init (added by tip) inside kvm_init_platform
(added here).
Also, there is a backmerge from 4.18-rc6. This is because of a
refactoring that conflicted with a relatively late bugfix and
resulted in a particularly hellish conflict. Because the conflict
was only due to unfortunate timing of the bugfix, I backmerged and
rebased the refactoring rather than force the resolution on you.

Since 4.10, commit 8003c9ae20 (KVM: LAPIC: add APIC Timer
periodic/oneshot mode VMX preemption timer support), guests using
periodic LAPIC timers (such as FreeBSD 8.4) would see their timers
drift significantly over time.
Differences in the underlying clocks and numerical errors means the
periods of the two timers (hv and sw) are not the same. This
difference will accumulate with every expiry resulting in a large
error between the hv and sw timer.
This means the sw timer may be running slow when compared to the hv
timer. When the timer is switched from hv to sw, the now active sw
timer will expire late. The guest VCPU is reentered and it switches to
using the hv timer. This timer catches up, injecting multiple IRQs
into the guest (of which the guest only sees one as it does not get to
run until the hv timer has caught up) and thus the guest's timer rate
is low (and becomes increasing slower over time as the sw timer lags
further and further behind).
I believe a similar problem would occur if the hv timer is the slower
one, but I have not observed this.
Fix this by synchronizing the deadlines for both timers to the same
time source on every tick. This prevents the errors from accumulating.

The root cause of the problem is starting hrtimer with an expiry time
already in the past can take more than 20 milliseconds to trigger the
timer function. It can be solved by forward such past timers
immediately, rather than submitting them to hrtimer_start().
In case the timer is periodic, update the target expiration and call
hrtimer_start with it.
v2: Check if the tsc deadline is already expired. Thank you Mika.
v3: Execute the past timers immediately rather than submitting them to
hrtimer_start().
v4: Rearm the periodic timer with advance_periodic_target_expiration() a
simpler version of set_target_expiration(). Thank you Paolo.

Devices which use level-triggered interrupts under Windows 2016 with
Hyper-V role enabled don't work: Windows disables EOI broadcast in SPIV
unconditionally. Our in-kernel IOAPIC implementation emulates an old IOAPIC
version which has no EOI register so EOI never happens.
The issue was discovered and discussed a while ago:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg148098.html
While this is a guest OS bug (it should check that IOAPIC has the required
capabilities before disabling EOI broadcast) we can workaround it in KVM:
advertising DIRECTED_EOI with in-kernel IOAPIC makes little sense anyway.

In x2apic mode the LDR is fixed based on the ID rather
than separately loadable like it was before x2.
When kvm_apic_set_state is called, the base is set, and if
it has the X2APIC_ENABLE flag set then the LDR is calculated;
however that value gets overwritten by the memcpy a few lines
below overwriting it with the value that came from userland.
The symptom is a lack of EOI after loading the state
(e.g. after a QEMU migration) and is due to the EOI bitmap
being wrong due to the incorrect LDR. This was seen with
a Win2016 guest under Qemu with irqchip=split whose USB mouse
didn't work after a VM migration.
This corresponds to RH bug:

Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com>
If we take TSC-deadline mode timer out of the picture, the Intel SDM
does not say that the timer is disable when the timer mode is change,
either from one-shot to periodic or vice versa.
After this patch, the timer is no longer disarmed on change of mode, so
the counter (TMCCT) keeps counting down.
So what does a write to LVTT changes ? On baremetal, the change of mode
is probably taken into account only when the counter reach 0. When this
happen, LVTT is use to figure out if the counter should restard counting
down from TMICT (so periodic mode) or stop counting (if one-shot mode).
This patch is based on observation of the behavior of the APIC timer on
baremetal as well as check that they does not go against the description
written in the Intel SDM.
