Currently the TDP MMU yield / cond_resched functions either return
nothing or return true if the TLBs were not flushed. These are confusing
semantics, especially when making control flow decisions in calling
functions.
To clean things up, change both functions to have the same
return value semantics as cond_resched: true if the thread yielded,
false if it did not. If the function yielded in the _flush_ version,
then the TLBs will have been flushed.

Currently we save host state like user-visible host MSRs, and do some
initial guest register setup for MSR_TSC_AUX and MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO
in svm_vcpu_load(). Defer this until just before we enter the guest by
moving the handling to kvm_x86_ops.prepare_guest_switch() similarly to
how it is done for the VMX implementation.
Additionally, since handling of saving/restoring host user MSRs is the

Using a guest workload which simply issues 'hlt' in a tight loop to
generate VMEXITs, it was observed (on a recent EPYC processor) that a
significant amount of the VMEXIT overhead measured on the host was the
result of MSR reads/writes in svm_vcpu_load/svm_vcpu_put according to
perf:
67.49%--kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
|
|--23.13%--vcpu_put
| kvm_arch_vcpu_put
| |
| |--21.31%--native_write_msr
| |
| --1.27%--svm_set_cr4
|
|--16.11%--vcpu_load
| |
| --15.58%--kvm_arch_vcpu_load
| |
| |--13.97%--svm_set_cr4
| | |
| | |--12.64%--native_read_msr
Most of these MSRs relate to 'syscall'/'sysenter' and segment bases, and
can be saved/restored using 'vmsave'/'vmload' instructions rather than
explicit MSR reads/writes. In doing so there is a significant reduction
in the svm_vcpu_load/svm_vcpu_put overhead measured for the above
workload:
50.92%--kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
|
|--19.28%--disable_nmi_singlestep
|
|--13.68%--vcpu_load
| kvm_arch_vcpu_load
| |
| |--9.19%--svm_set_cr4
| | |
| | --6.44%--native_read_msr
| |
| --3.55%--native_write_msr
|
|--6.05%--kvm_inject_nmi
|--2.80%--kvm_sev_es_mmio_read
|--2.19%--vcpu_put
| |
| --1.25%--kvm_arch_vcpu_put
| native_write_msr
Quantifying this further, if we look at the raw cycle counts for a
normal iteration of the above workload (according to 'rdtscp'),
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() takes ~4600 cycles from start to finish with
the current behavior. Using 'vmsave'/'vmload', this is reduced to
~2800 cycles, a savings of 39%.
While this approach doesn't seem to manifest in any noticeable
improvement for more realistic workloads like UnixBench, netperf, and
kernel builds, likely due to their exit paths generally involving IO
with comparatively high latencies, it does improve overall overhead
of KVM_RUN significantly, which may still be noticeable for certain
situations. It also simplifies some aspects of the code.
With this change, explicit save/restore is no longer needed for the
following host MSRs, since they are documented[1] as being part of the
VMCB State Save Area:
MSR_STAR, MSR_LSTAR, MSR_CSTAR,
MSR_SYSCALL_MASK, MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE,
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_CS,
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP,
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP,
MSR_FS_BASE, MSR_GS_BASE
and only the following MSR needs individual handling in
svm_vcpu_put/svm_vcpu_load:
MSR_TSC_AUX
We could drop the host_save_user_msrs array/loop and instead handle
MSR read/write of MSR_TSC_AUX directly, but we leave that for now as
a potential follow-up.
Since 'vmsave'/'vmload' also handles the LDTR and FS/GS segment
registers (and associated hidden state)[2], some of the code
previously used to handle this is no longer needed, so we drop it
as well.
The first public release of the SVM spec[3] also documents the same
handling for the host state in question, so we make these changes
unconditionally.
Also worth noting is that we 'vmsave' to the same page that is
subsequently used by 'vmrun' to record some host additional state. This
is okay, since, in accordance with the spec[2], the additional state
written to the page by 'vmrun' does not overwrite any fields written by
'vmsave'. This has also been confirmed through testing (for the above
CPU, at least).

Using SVM specific macros also drops the last user of __ex() and the

Explicitly tell the compiler that VMXOFF modifies flags (like all VMX
instructions), and mark memory as clobbered since VMXOFF must not be
reordered and also may have memory side effects (though the kernel
really shouldn't be accessing the root VMCS anyways).
Practically speaking, adding the clobbers is most likely a nop; the
primary motivation is to properly document VMXOFF's behavior.
For the flags clobber, both Clang and GCC automatically mark flags as
clobbered; this is noted in commit 4b1e54786e ("KVM/x86: Use assembly
instruction mnemonics instead of .byte streams"), which intentionally
removed the previous clobber. But, neither Clang nor GCC documents
this behavior, and there's no downside to including the clobber.
For the memory clobber, the RFLAGS.IF and CR4.VMXE manipulations that
immediately follow VMXOFF have compiler barriers of their own, i.e.
VMXOFF can't get reordered after clearing CR4.VMXE, which is really
what's of interest.

Silently ignore all faults on VMXOFF in the reboot flows as such faults
are all but guaranteed to be due to the CPU not being in VMX root.
Because (a) VMXOFF may be executed in NMI context, e.g. after VMXOFF but
before CR4.VMXE is cleared, (b) there's no way to query the CPU's VMX
state without faulting, and (c) the whole point is to get out of VMX
root, eating faults is the simplest way to achieve the desired behaior.
Technically, VMXOFF can fault (or fail) for other reasons, but all other
fault and failure scenarios are mode related, i.e. the kernel would have
to magically end up in RM, V86, compat mode, at CPL>0, or running with
the SMI Transfer Monitor active. The kernel is beyond hosed if any of
those scenarios are encountered; trying to do something fancy in the
error path to handle them cleanly is pointless.

In addition to DEBUGCTLMSR_LBR, any KVM trap caused by LBR msrs access
will result in a creation of guest LBR event per-vcpu.
If the guest LBR event is scheduled on with the corresponding vcpu context,
KVM will pass-through all LBR records msrs to the guest. The LBR callstack
mechanism implemented in the host could help save/restore the guest LBR
records during the event context switches, which reduces a lot of overhead
if we save/restore tens of LBR msrs (e.g. 32 LBR records entries) in the
much more frequent VMX transitions.
To avoid reclaiming LBR resources from any higher priority event on host,
KVM would always check the exist of guest LBR event and its state before
vm-entry as late as possible. A negative result would cancel the
pass-through state, and it also prevents real registers accesses and
potential data leakage. If host reclaims the LBR between two checks, the
interception state and LBR records can be safely preserved due to native
save/restore support from guest LBR event.
The KVM emits a pr_warn() when the LBR hardware is unavailable to the
guest LBR event. The administer is supposed to reminder users that the
guest result may be inaccurate if someone is using LBR to record
hypervisor on the host side.

When vcpu sets DEBUGCTLMSR_LBR in the MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR, the KVM handler
would create a guest LBR event which enables the callstack mode and none of
hardware counter is assigned. The host perf would schedule and enable this
event as usual but in an exclusive way.
The guest LBR event will be released when the vPMU is reset but soon,
the lazy release mechanism would be applied to this event like a vPMC.

Usespace could set the bits [0, 5] of the IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES
MSR which tells about the record format stored in the LBR records.
The LBR will be enabled on the guest if host perf supports LBR
(checked via x86_perf_get_lbr()) and the vcpu model is compatible
with the host one.

Once MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES is changed via vmx_set_msr(), the
value should not be changed by cpuid(). To ensure that the new value
is kept, the default initialization path is moved to intel_pmu_init().
The effective value of the MSR will be 0 if PDCM is clear, however.

To make code responsibilities clear, we may resue and invoke the
vmx_set_intercept_for_msr() in other vmx-specific files (e.g. pmu_intel.c),
so expose it to passthrough LBR msrs later.

SVM already has specific handlers of MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR in the
svm_get/set_msr, so the x86 common part can be safely moved to VMX.
This allows KVM to store the bits it supports in GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL.
Add vmx_supported_debugctl() to refactor the throwing logic of #GP.

Use x2apic_mode instead of x2apic_enabled() when adjusting the

Export x2apic_mode so that KVM can query whether x2APIC is active
without having to incur the RDMSR in x2apic_enabled(). When Posted
Interrupts are in use for a guest with an assigned device, KVM ends up
checking for x2APIC at least once every time a vCPU halts. KVM could
obviously snapshot x2apic_enabled() to avoid the RDMSR, but that's
rather silly given that x2apic_mode holds the exact info needed by KVM.

Introduce a new capability named KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT, which is
used to handle bus locks detected in guest. It allows the userspace to
do custom throttling policies to mitigate the 'noisy neighbour' problem.

Virtual Machine can exploit bus locks to degrade the performance of
system. Bus lock can be caused by split locked access to writeback(WB)
memory or by using locks on uncacheable(UC) memory. The bus lock is
typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache
line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait for
the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can
complete).
To address the threat, bus lock VM exit is introduced to notify the VMM
when a bus lock was acquired, allowing it to enforce throttling or other
policy based mitigations.
A VMM can enable VM exit due to bus locks by setting a new "Bus Lock
Detection" VM-execution control(bit 30 of Secondary Processor-based VM
execution controls). If delivery of this VM exit was preempted by a
higher priority VM exit (e.g. EPT misconfiguration, EPT violation, APIC
access VM exit, APIC write VM exit, exception bitmap exiting), bit 26 of
exit reason in vmcs field is set to 1.
In current implementation, the KVM exposes this capability through
KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT. The user can get the supported mode bitmap
(i.e. off and exit) and enable it explicitly (disabled by default). If
bus locks in guest are detected by KVM, exit to user space even when
current exit reason is handled by KVM internally. Set a new field
KVM_RUN_BUS_LOCK in vcpu->run->flags to inform the user space that there
is a bus lock detected in guest.
Document for Bus Lock VM exit is now available at the latest "Intel
Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference".

Convert vcpu_vmx.exit_reason from a u32 to a union (of size u32). The
full VM_EXIT_REASON field is comprised of a 16-bit basic exit reason in
bits 15:0, and single-bit modifiers in bits 31:16.
Historically, KVM has only had to worry about handling the "failed
VM-Entry" modifier, which could only be set in very specific flows and
required dedicated handling. I.e. manually stripping the FAILED_VMENTRY
bit was a somewhat viable approach. But even with only a single bit to
worry about, KVM has had several bugs related to comparing a basic exit
reason against the full exit reason store in vcpu_vmx.
Upcoming Intel features, e.g. SGX, will add new modifier bits that can
be set on more or less any VM-Exit, as opposed to the significantly more
restricted FAILED_VMENTRY, i.e. correctly handling everything in one-off
flows isn't scalable. Tracking exit reason in a union forces code to
explicitly choose between consuming the full exit reason and the basic
exit, and is a convenient way to document and access the modifiers.
No functional change intended.

The SEV FW version >= 0.23 added a new command that can be used to query
the attestation report containing the SHA-256 digest of the guest memory
encrypted through the KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_UPDATE_{DATA, VMSA} commands and
sign the report with the Platform Endorsement Key (PEK).
See the SEV FW API spec section 6.8 for more details.
Note there already exist a command (KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE) that can be
used to get the SHA-256 digest. The main difference between the
KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_MEASURE and KVM_SEV_ATTESTATION_REPORT is that the latter
can be called while the guest is running and the measurement value is
signed with PEK.

Add a memslot modification stress test in which a memslot is repeatedly
created and removed while vCPUs access memory in another memslot. Most
userspaces do not create or remove memslots on running VMs which makes
it hard to test races in adding and removing memslots without a
dedicated test. Adding and removing a memslot also has the effect of
tearing down the entire paging structure, which leads to more page
faults and pressure on the page fault handling path than a one-and-done
memory population test.
