commit 3491caf2 ("KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify wakeups during poll") added more aggressive shrinking of the polling interval if the wakeup did not match some criteria. This still allows to keep polling enabled if the polling time was smaller that the current max poll time (block_ns <= vcpu->halt_poll_ns). Performance measurement shows that even more aggressive shrinking (shrink polling on any invalid wakeup) reduces absolute and relative (to the workload) CPU usage even further.

on s390 we disabled the halt polling with commit 920552b2 ("KVM: disable halt_poll_ns as default for s390x"), as floating interrupts would let all CPUs have a successful poll, resulting in much higher CPU usage (on otherwise idle systems). With the improved selection of polls we can now retry halt polling. Performance measurements with different choices like 25,50,80,100,200 microseconds showed that 80 microseconds seems to improve several cases without increasing the CPU costs too much. Higher values would improve the performance even more but increased the cpu time as well. So let's start small and use this value of 80 microseconds on s390 until we have a better understanding of cost/benefit of higher values. Acked-by:

Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough. This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests. This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls. For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll. This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor, we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though. This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP while still providing a proper speedup. This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks wakeups that are considered not good for polling. Signed-off-by:

Commit c9a5ecca ("kvm/eventfd: add arch-specific set_irq", 2015-10-16) added the possibility for architecture-specific code to handle the generation of virtual interrupts in atomic context where possible, without having to schedule a work function. Since we can easily generate virtual interrupts on XICS without having to do anything worse than take a spinlock, we define a kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic() for XICS. We also remove kvm_set_msi() since it is not used any more. The one slightly tricky thing is that with the new interface, we don't get told whether the interrupt is an MSI (or other edge sensitive interrupt) vs. level-sensitive. The difference as far as interrupt generation is concerned is that for LSIs we have to set the asserted flag so it will continue to fire until it is explicitly cleared. In fact the XICS code gets told which interrupts are LSIs by userspace when it configures the interrupt via the KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES attribute group on the XICS device. To store this information, we add a new "lsi" field to struct ics_irq_state. With that we can also do a better job of returning accurate values when reading the attribute group. Signed-off-by:

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. Suggested-by:

Commit c896939f ("KVM: use heuristic for fast VCPU lookup by id") added a return path that prevents vcpu ids to exceed KVM_MAX_VCPUS. This is a problem for powerpc where vcpu ids can grow up to 8*KVM_MAX_VCPUS. This patch simply reverses the logic so that we only try fast path if the vcpu id can be tried as an index in kvm->vcpus[]. The slow path is not affected by the change. Reviewed-by:

When the guest does a sign-extending load instruction (such as lha or lwa) to an emulated MMIO location, it results in a call to kvmppc_handle_loads() in the host. That function sets the vcpu->arch.mmio_sign_extend flag and calls kvmppc_handle_load() to do the rest of the work. However, kvmppc_handle_load() sets the mmio_sign_extend flag to 0 unconditionally, so the sign extension never gets done. To fix this, we rename kvmppc_handle_load to __kvmppc_handle_load and add an explicit parameter to indicate whether sign extension is required. kvmppc_handle_load() and kvmppc_handle_loads() then become 1-line functions that just call __kvmppc_handle_load() with the extra parameter.

Reading the KVM_CAP_MIPS_FPU capability returns cpu_has_fpu, however this uses smp_processor_id() to read the current CPU capabilities (since some old MIPS systems could have FPUs present on only a subset of CPUs). We don't support any such systems, so work around the warning by using raw_cpu_has_fpu instead. We should probably instead claim not to support FPU at all if any one CPU is lacking an FPU, but this should do for now. Signed-off-by:

There are a couple of places in KVM fault handling code which implicitly use smp_processor_id() via kvm_mips_get_kernel_asid() and kvm_mips_get_user_asid() from preemptable context. This is unsafe as a preemption could cause the guest kernel ASID to be changed, resulting in a host TLB entry being written with the wrong ASID. Fix by disabling preemption around the kvm_mips_get_*_asid() call and the corresponding kvm_mips_host_tlb_write(). Signed-off-by:

Writing CP0_Compare clears the timer interrupt pending bit (CP0_Cause.TI), but this wasn't being done atomically. If a timer interrupt raced with the write of the guest CP0_Compare, the timer interrupt could end up being pending even though the new CP0_Compare is nowhere near CP0_Count. We were already updating the hrtimer expiry with kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), which used both kvm_mips_freeze_hrtimer() and kvm_mips_resume_hrtimer(). Close the race window by expanding out kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), and clearing CP0_Cause.TI and setting CP0_Compare between the freeze and resume. Since the pending timer interrupt should not be cleared when CP0_Compare is written via the KVM user API, an ack argument is added to distinguish the source of the write.

There's a particularly narrow and subtle race condition when the software emulated guest timer is frozen which can allow a guest timer interrupt to be missed. This happens due to the hrtimer expiry being inexact, so very occasionally the freeze time will be after the moment when the emulated CP0_Count transitions to the same value as CP0_Compare (so an IRQ should be generated), but before the moment when the hrtimer is due to expire (so no IRQ is generated). The IRQ won't be generated when the timer is resumed either, since the resume CP0_Count will already match CP0_Compare. With VZ guests in particular this is far more likely to happen, since the soft timer may be frozen frequently in order to restore the timer state to the hardware guest timer. This happens after 5-10 hours of guest soak testing, resulting in an overflow in guest kernel timekeeping calculations, hanging the guest. A more focussed test case to intentionally hit the race (with the help of a new hypcall to cause the timer state to migrated between hardware & software) hits the condition fairly reliably within around 30 seconds. Instead of relying purely on the inexact hrtimer expiry to determine whether an IRQ should be generated, read the guest CP0_Compare and directly check whether the freeze time is before or after it. Only if CP0_Count is on or after CP0_Compare do we check the hrtimer expiry to determine whether the last IRQ has already been generated (which will have pushed back the expiry by one timer period).

The ARMv8.1 architecture extensions introduce support for hardware updates of the access and dirty information in page table entries. With VTCR_EL2.HA enabled (bit 21), when the CPU accesses an IPA with the PTE_AF bit cleared in the stage 2 page table, instead of raising an Access Flag fault to EL2 the CPU sets the actual page table entry bit (10). To ensure that kernel modifications to the page table do not inadvertently revert a bit set by hardware updates, certain Stage 2 software pte/pmd operations must be performed atomically. The main user of the AF bit is the kvm_age_hva() mechanism. The kvm_age_hva_handler() function performs a "test and clear young" action on the pte/pmd. This needs to be atomic in respect of automatic hardware updates of the AF bit. Since the AF bit is in the same position for both Stage 1 and Stage 2, the patch reuses the existing ptep_test_and_clear_young() functionality if __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG is defined. Otherwise, the existing pte_young/pte_mkold mechanism is preserved. The kvm_set_s2pte_readonly() (and the corresponding pmd equivalent) have to perform atomic modifications in order to avoid a race with updates of the AF bit. The arm64 implementation has been re-written using exclusives. Currently, kvm_set_s2pte_writable() (and pmd equivalent) take a pointer argument and modify the pte/pmd in place. However, these functions are only used on local variables rather than actual page table entries, so it makes more sense to follow the pte_mkwrite() approach for stage 1 attributes. The change to kvm_s2pte_mkwrite() makes it clear that these functions do not modify the actual page table entries. The (pte|pmd)_mkyoung() uses on Stage 2 entries (setting the AF bit explicitly) do not need to be modified since hardware updates of the dirty status are not supported by KVM, so there is no possibility of losing such information.

When a guest is initializing, KVM provides facility bits that can be successfully used by the guest. It's done by applying kvm_s390_fac_list_mask mask on host facility bits stored by the STFLE instruction. Facility bits can be one of two kinds: it's either a hypervisor managed bit or non-hypervisor managed. The hardware provides information which bits need special handling. Let's automatically passthrough to guests new facility bits, that don't require hypervisor support. Signed-off-by:

We should never inject an exception after we manually rewound the PSW (to retry the ESSA instruction in this case). This will mess up the PSW. So this never worked and therefore never really triggered. Looking at the details, we don't even have to perform any validity checks. 1. Bits 52-63 of an entry are stored as 0 by the hardware. 2. We are dealing with absolute addresses but only check for the prefix starting at address 0. This isn't correct and doesn't make much sense, cpus could still zap the prefix of other cpus. But as prefix pages cannot be swapped out without a notifier being called for the affected VCPU, a zap can never remove a protected prefix. Reviewed-by:
