KVM_GUESTDBG_BLOCKIRQ will allow KVM to block all interrupts while running. This change is mostly intended for more robust single stepping of the guest and it has the following benefits when enabled: * Resuming from a breakpoint is much more reliable. When resuming execution from a breakpoint, with interrupts enabled, more often than not, KVM would inject an interrupt and make the CPU jump immediately to the interrupt handler and eventually return to the breakpoint, to trigger it again. From the user point of view it looks like the CPU never executed a single instruction and in some cases that can even prevent forward progress, for example, when the breakpoint is placed by an automated script (e.g lx-symbols), which does something in response to the breakpoint and then continues the guest automatically. If the script execution takes enough time for another interrupt to arrive, the guest will be stuck on the same breakpoint RIP forever. * Normal single stepping is much more predictable, since it won't land the debugger into an interrupt handler. * RFLAGS.TF has less chance to be leaked to the guest: We set that flag behind the guest's back to do single stepping but if single step lands us into an interrupt/exception handler it will be leaked to the guest in the form of being pushed to the stack. This doesn't completely eliminate this problem as exceptions can still happen, but at least this reduces the chances of this happening.

Drop @shared from tdp_mmu_link_page() and hardcode it to work for mmu_lock being held for read. The helper has exactly one caller and in all likelihood will only ever have exactly one caller. Even if KVM adds a path to install translations without an initiating page fault, odds are very, very good that the path will just be a wrapper to the "page fault" handler (both SNP and TDX RFCs propose patches to do exactly that). No functional change intended.

Existing KVM code tracks the number of large pages regardless of their sizes. Therefore, when large page of 1GB (or larger) is adopted, the information becomes less useful because lpages counts a mix of 1G and 2M pages. So remove the lpages since it is easy for user space to aggregate the info. Instead, provide a comprehensive page stats of all sizes from 4K to 512G.

Factor in whether or not the old/new SPTEs are shadow-present when adjusting the large page stats in the TDP MMU. A modified MMIO SPTE can toggle the page size bit, as bit 7 is used to store the MMIO generation, i.e. is_large_pte() can get a false positive when called on a MMIO SPTE. Ditto for nuking SPTEs with REMOVED_SPTE, which sets bit 7 in its magic value. Opportunistically move the logic below the check to verify at least one of the old/new SPTEs is shadow present. Use is/was_leaf even though is/was_present would suffice. The code generation is roughly equivalent since all flags need to be computed prior to the code in question, and using the *_leaf flags will minimize the diff in a future enhancement to account all pages, i.e. will change the check to "is_leaf != was_leaf".

Drop an unnecessary is_shadow_present_pte() check when updating the rmaps after installing a non-MMIO SPTE. set_spte() is used only to create shadow-present SPTEs, e.g. MMIO SPTEs are handled early on, mmu_set_spte() runs with mmu_lock held for write, i.e. the SPTE can't be zapped between writing the SPTE and updating the rmaps.

Currently it is possible to have the following scenario: 1. AVIC is disabled by svm_refresh_apicv_exec_ctrl 2. svm_vcpu_blocking calls avic_vcpu_put which does nothing 3. svm_vcpu_unblocking enables the AVIC (due to KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE) and then calls avic_vcpu_load 4. warning is triggered in avic_vcpu_load since AVIC_PHYSICAL_ID_ENTRY_IS_RUNNING_MASK was never cleared While it is possible to just remove the warning, it seems to be more robust to fully disable/enable AVIC in svm_refresh_apicv_exec_ctrl by calling the avic_vcpu_load/avic_vcpu_put Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20210810205251.424103-16-mlevitsk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_HYPERV is currently unconditionally forced upon SynIC activation as SynIC's AutoEOI is incompatible with APICv/AVIC. It is, however, possible to track whether the feature was actually used by the guest and only inhibit APICv/AVIC when needed. TLFS suggests a dedicated 'HV_DEPRECATING_AEOI_RECOMMENDED' flag to let Windows know that AutoEOI feature should be avoided. While it's up to KVM userspace to set the flag, KVM can help a bit by exposing global APICv/AVIC enablement. Maxim: - always set HV_DEPRECATING_AEOI_RECOMMENDED in kvm_get_hv_cpuid, since this feature can be used regardless of AVIC Paolo: - use arch.apicv_update_lock to protect the hv->synic_auto_eoi_used instead of atomic ops Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20210810205251.424103-12-mlevitsk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Currently on SVM, the kvm_request_apicv_update toggles the APICv memslot without doing any synchronization. If there is a mismatch between that memslot state and the AVIC state, on one of the vCPUs, an APIC mmio access can be lost: For example: VCPU0: enable the APIC_ACCESS_PAGE_PRIVATE_MEMSLOT VCPU1: access an APIC mmio register. Since AVIC is still disabled on VCPU1, the access will not be intercepted by it, and neither will it cause MMIO fault, but rather it will just be read/written from/to the dummy page mapped into the APIC_ACCESS_PAGE_PRIVATE_MEMSLOT. Fix that by adding a lock guarding the AVIC state changes, and carefully order the operations of kvm_request_apicv_update to avoid this race: 1. Take the lock 2. Send KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE 3. Update the apic inhibit reason 4. Release the lock This ensures that at (2) all vCPUs are kicked out of the guest mode, but don't yet see the new avic state. Then only after (4) all other vCPUs can update their AVIC state and resume.

on AMD, APIC virtualization needs to dynamicaly inhibit the AVIC in a response to some events, and this is problematic and not efficient to do by enabling/disabling the memslot that covers APIC's mmio range. Plus due to SRCU locking, it makes it more complex to request AVIC inhibition. Instead, the APIC memslot will be always enabled, but be invisible to the guest, such as the MMU code will not install a SPTE for it, when it is inhibited and instead jump straight to emulating the access. When inhibiting the AVIC, this SPTE will be zapped.

This together with the next patch will fix a future race between kvm_zap_gfn_range and the page fault handler, which will happen when AVIC memslot is going to be only partially disabled. The performance impact is minimal since kvm_zap_gfn_range is only called by users, update_mtrr() and kvm_post_set_cr0(). Both only use it if the guest has non-coherent DMA, in order to honor the guest's UC memtype. MTRR and CD setup only happens at boot, and generally in an area where the page tables should be small (for CD) or should not include the affected GFNs at all (for MTRRs).

Clear nested.pi_pending on nested VM-Enter even if L2 will run without posted interrupts enabled. If nested.pi_pending is left set from a previous L2, vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt() will pick up the stale flag and exit to userspace with an "internal emulation error" due the new L2 not having a valid nested.pi_desc. Arguably, vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt() should first check for posted interrupts being enabled, but it's also completely reasonable that KVM wouldn't screw up a fundamental flag. Not to mention that the mere existence of nested.pi_pending is a long-standing bug as KVM shouldn't move the posted interrupt out of the IRR until it's actually processed, e.g. KVM effectively drops an interrupt when it performs a nested VM-Exit with a "pending" posted interrupt. Fixing the mess is a future problem. Prior to vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt() interpreting a null PI descriptor as an error, this was a benign bug as the null PI descriptor effectively served as a check on PI not being enabled. Even then, the new flow did not become problematic until KVM started checking the result of kvm_check_nested_events().

When preparing controls for vmcs02, grab KVM's desired controls from vmcs01's shadow state instead of recalculating the controls from scratch, or in the secondary execution controls, instead of using the dedicated cache. Calculating secondary exec controls is eye-poppingly expensive due to the guest CPUID checks, hence the dedicated cache, but the other calculations aren't exactly free either. Explicitly clear several bits (x2APIC, DESC exiting, and load EFER on exit) as appropriate as they may be set in vmcs01, whereas the previous implementation relied on dynamic bits being cleared in the calculator. Intentionally propagate VM_{ENTRY,EXIT}_LOAD_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL from vmcs01 to vmcs02. Whether or not PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL is loaded depends on whether or not perf itself is active, so unless perf stops between the exit from L1 and entry to L2, vmcs01 will hold the desired value. This is purely an optimization as atomic_switch_perf_msrs() will set/clear the control as needed at VM-Enter, i.e. it avoids two extra VMWRITEs in the case where perf is active (versus starting with the bits clear in vmcs02, which was the previous behavior).

The commit efdab992 ("KVM: x86: fix escape of guest dr6 to the host") fixed a bug by resetting DR6 unconditionally when the vcpu being scheduled out. But writing to debug registers is slow, and it can be visible in perf results sometimes, even if neither the host nor the guest activate breakpoints. Since KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT on Intel processors is the only case where DR6 gets the guest value, and it never happens at all on SVM, the register can be cleared in vmx.c right after reading it.

Commit c77fb5fe ("KVM: x86: Allow the guest to run with dirty debug registers") allows the guest accessing to DRs without exiting when KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT and we need to ensure that they are synchronized on entry to the guest---including DR6 that was not synced before the commit. But the commit sets the hardware DR6 not only when KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT, but also when KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED. The second case is unnecessary and just leads to a more case which leaks stale DR6 to the host which has to be resolved by unconditionally reseting DR6 in kvm_arch_vcpu_put(). Even if KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT, however, setting the host DR6 only matters on VMX because SVM always uses the DR6 value from the VMCB. So move this line to vmx.c and make it conditional on KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT. Reported-by: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshanlai@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
