2016-11-21KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore XER in checkpointed register statePaul Mackerras
When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress, we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state. Although XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER. This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER. To allow userspace to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG specifier. The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER value being corrupted when it uses transactions.

If userspace creates a PMU for the VCPU, but doesn't create an in-kernel irqchip, then we end up in a nasty path where we try to take an uninitialized spinlock, which can lead to all sorts of breakages. Luckily, QEMU always creates the VGIC before the PMU, so we can establish this as ABI and check for the VGIC in the PMU init stage.

2016-07-22KVM: arm/arm64: Enable irqchip routingEric Auger
This patch adds compilation and link against irqchip. Main motivation behind using irqchip code is to enable MSI routing code. In the future irqchip routing may also be useful when targeting multiple irqchips. Routing standard callbacks now are implemented in vgic-irqfd: - kvm_set_routing_entry - kvm_set_irq - kvm_set_msi They only are supported with new_vgic code. Both HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP and HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING are defined. KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING is advertised and KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING is allowed. So from now on IRQCHIP routing is enabled and a routing table entry must exist for irqfd injection to succeed for a given SPI. This patch builds a default flat irqchip routing table (gsi=irqchip.pin) covering all the VGIC SPI indexes. This routing table is overwritten by the first first user-space call to KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING ioctl. MSI routing setup is not yet allowed.

On the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl we allocate and initialize the ITS data structure and store the pointer in the kvm_device data. Upon an explicit init ioctl from userland (after having setup the MMIO address) we register the handlers with the kvm_io_bus framework. Any reference to an ITS thus has to go via this interface.

2016-07-18KVM: Extend struct kvm_msi to hold a 32-bit device IDAndre Przywara
The ARM GICv3 ITS MSI controller requires a device ID to be able to assign the proper interrupt vector. On real hardware, this ID is sampled from the bus. To be able to emulate an ITS controller, extend the KVM MSI interface to let userspace provide such a device ID. For PCI devices, the device ID is simply the 16-bit bus-device-function triplet, which should be easily available to the userland tool. Also there is a new KVM capability which advertises whether the current VM requires a device ID to be set along with the MSI data. This flag is still reported as not available everywhere, later we will enable it when ITS emulation is used.

KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API is a capability for features related to x2APIC enablement. KVM_X2APIC_API_32BIT_FORMAT feature can be enabled to extend APIC ID in get/set ioctl and MSI addresses to 32 bits. Both are needed to support x2APIC. The feature has to be enableable and disabled by default, because get/set ioctl shifted and truncated APIC ID to 8 bits by using a non-standard protocol inspired by xAPIC and the change is not backward-compatible. Changes to MSI addresses follow the format used by interrupt remapping unit. The upper address word, that used to be 0, contains upper 24 bits of the LAPIC address in its upper 24 bits. Lower 8 bits are reserved as 0. Using the upper address word is not backward-compatible either as we didn't check that userspace zeroed the word. Reserved bits are still not explicitly checked, but non-zero data will affect LAPIC addresses, which will cause a bug.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into HEAD KVM: s390: Features and fixes for 4.8 part1 Four bigger things: 1. The implementation of the STHYI opcode in the kernel. This is used in libraries like qclib [1] to provide enough information for a capacity and usage based software licence pricing. The STHYI content is defined by the related z/VM documentation [2]. Its data can be composed by accessing several other interfaces provided by LPAR or the machine. This information is partially sensitive or root-only so the kernel does the necessary filtering. 2. Preparation for nested virtualization (VSIE). KVM should query the proper sclp interfaces for the availability of some features before using it. In the past we have been sloppy and simply assumed that several features are available. With this we should be able to handle most cases of a missing feature. 3. CPU model interfaces extended by some additional features that are not covered by a facility bit in STFLE. For example all the crypto instructions of the coprocessor provide a query function. As reality tends to be more complex (e.g. export regulations might block some algorithms) we have to provide additional interfaces to query or set these non-stfle features. 4. Several fixes and changes detected and fixed when doing 1-3. All features change base s390 code. All relevant patches have an ACK from the s390 or component maintainers. The next pull request for 4.8 (part2) will contain the implementation of VSIE.

We have certain instructions that indicate available subfunctions via a query subfunction (crypto functions and ptff), or via a test bit function (plo). By exposing these "subfunction blocks" to user space, we allow user space to 1) query available subfunctions and make sure subfunctions won't get lost during migration - e.g. properly indicate them via a CPU model 2) change the subfunctions to be reported to the guest (even adding unavailable ones) This mechanism works just like the way we indicate the stfl(e) list to user space. This way, user space could even emulate some subfunctions in QEMU in the future. If this is ever applicable, we have to make sure later on, that unsupported subfunctions result in an intercept to QEMU. Please note that support to indicate them to the guest is still missing and requires hardware support. Usually, the IBC takes already care of these subfunctions for migration safety. QEMU should make sure to always set these bits properly according to the machine generation to be emulated. Available subfunctions are only valid in combination with STFLE bits retrieved via KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE and enabled via KVM_S390_VM_CPU_PROCESSOR. If the applicable bits are available, the indicated subfunctions are guaranteed to be correct.

However, we also have features indicated via SCLP, that have to be indicated to the guest by user space and usually require KVM support. This patch allows user space to query and configure available cpu features for the guest. Please note that disabling a feature doesn't necessarily mean that it is completely disabled (e.g. ESOP is mostly handled by the SIE). We will try our best to disable it. Most features (e.g. SCLP) can't directly be forwarded, as most of them need in addition to hardware support, support in KVM. As we later on want to turn these features in KVM explicitly on/off (to simulate different behavior), we have to filter all features provided by the hardware and make them configurable.

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.

FLIC behavior deviates from the API documentation in reporting EINVAL instead of ENXIO for KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR/KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR when the group or attribute is unknown/unsupported. Unfortunately this can not be fixed for historical reasons. Let us at least have it documented.

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.

2016-03-02KVM: PPC: Add support for 64bit TCE windowsAlexey Kardashevskiy
The existing KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE only supports 32bit windows which is not enough for directly mapped windows as the guest can get more than 4GB. This adds KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE_64 ioctl and advertises it via KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_64 capability. The table size is checked against the locked memory limit. Since 64bit windows are to support Dynamic DMA windows (DDW), let's add @bus_offset and @page_shift which are also required by DDW.

2016-02-29arm64: KVM: Add a new vcpu device control group for PMUv3Shannon Zhao
To configure the virtual PMUv3 overflow interrupt number, we use the vcpu kvm_device ioctl, encapsulating the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ attribute within the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_CTRL group. After configuring the PMUv3, call the vcpu ioctl with attribute KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_INIT to initialize the PMUv3.
