In BookE, EPCR is defined and valid when either the HV or the 64bit category are implemented. Reflect this in the field definition. Today the only KVM target on 64bit is HV enabled, so there is no change in actual source code, but this keeps the code closer to the spec and doesn't build up artificial road blocks for a PR KVM on 64bit.

Currently, if a machine check interrupt happens while we are in the guest, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler, which tends to cause the host to panic. Some machine checks can be triggered by the guest; for example, if the guest creates two entries in the SLB that map the same effective address, and then accesses that effective address, the CPU will take a machine check interrupt. To handle this better, when a machine check happens inside the guest, we call a new function, kvmppc_realmode_machine_check(), while still in real mode before exiting the guest. On POWER7, it handles the cases that the guest can trigger, either by flushing and reloading the SLB, or by flushing the TLB, and then it delivers the machine check interrupt directly to the guest without going back to the host. On POWER7, the OPAL firmware patches the machine check interrupt vector so that it gets control first, and it leaves behind its analysis of the situation in a structure pointed to by the opal_mc_evt field of the paca. The kvmppc_realmode_machine_check() function looks at this, and if OPAL reports that there was no error, or that it has handled the error, we also go straight back to the guest with a machine check. We have to deliver a machine check to the guest since the machine check interrupt might have trashed valid values in SRR0/1. If the machine check is one we can't handle in real mode, and one that OPAL hasn't already handled, or on PPC970, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler. We do this by jumping to the machine_check_fwnmi label, rather than absolute address 0x200, because we don't want to re-execute OPAL's handler on POWER7. On PPC970, the two are equivalent because address 0x200 just contains a branch. Then, if the host machine check handler decides that the system can continue executing, kvmppc_handle_exit() delivers a machine check interrupt to the guest -- once again to let the guest know that SRR0/1 have been modified.

When we change or remove a HPT (hashed page table) entry, we can do either a global TLB invalidation (tlbie) that works across the whole machine, or a local invalidation (tlbiel) that only affects this core. Currently we do local invalidations if the VM has only one vcpu or if the guest requests it with the H_LOCAL flag, though the guest Linux kernel currently doesn't ever use H_LOCAL. Then, to cope with the possibility that vcpus moving around to different physical cores might expose stale TLB entries, there is some code in kvmppc_hv_entry to flush the whole TLB of entries for this VM if either this vcpu is now running on a different physical core from where it last ran, or if this physical core last ran a different vcpu. There are a number of problems on POWER7 with this as it stands: - The TLB invalidation is done per thread, whereas it only needs to be done per core, since the TLB is shared between the threads. - With the possibility of the host paging out guest pages, the use of H_LOCAL by an SMP guest is dangerous since the guest could possibly retain and use a stale TLB entry pointing to a page that had been removed from the guest. - The TLB invalidations that we do when a vcpu moves from one physical core to another are unnecessary in the case of an SMP guest that isn't using H_LOCAL. - The optimization of using local invalidations rather than global should apply to guests with one virtual core, not just one vcpu. (None of this applies on PPC970, since there we always have to invalidate the whole TLB when entering and leaving the guest, and we can't support paging out guest memory.) To fix these problems and simplify the code, we now maintain a simple cpumask of which cpus need to flush the TLB on entry to the guest. (This is indexed by cpu, though we only ever use the bits for thread 0 of each core.) Whenever we do a local TLB invalidation, we set the bits for every cpu except the bit for thread 0 of the core that we're currently running on. Whenever we enter a guest, we test and clear the bit for our core, and flush the TLB if it was set. On initial startup of the VM, and when resetting the HPT, we set all the bits in the need_tlb_flush cpumask, since any core could potentially have stale TLB entries from the previous VM to use the same LPID, or the previous contents of the HPT. Then, we maintain a count of the number of online virtual cores, and use that when deciding whether to use a local invalidation rather than the number of online vcpus. The code to make that decision is extracted out into a new function, global_invalidates(). For multi-core guests on POWER7 (i.e. when we are using mmu notifiers), we now never do local invalidations regardless of the H_LOCAL flag. Signed-off-by:

The mask of MSR bits that get transferred from the guest MSR to the shadow MSR included MSR_DE. In fact that bit only exists on Book 3E processors, and it is assigned the same bit used for MSR_BE on Book 3S processors. Since we already had MSR_BE in the mask, this just removes MSR_DE.

This fixes various issues in how we were handling the VSX registers that exist on POWER7 machines. First, we were running off the end of the current->thread.fpr[] array. Ultimately this was because the vcpu->arch.vsr[] array is sized to be able to store both the FP registers and the extra VSX registers (i.e. 64 entries), but PR KVM only uses it for the extra VSX registers (i.e. 32 entries). Secondly, calling load_up_vsx() from C code is a really bad idea, because it jumps to fast_exception_return at the end, rather than returning with a blr instruction. This was causing it to jump off to a random location with random register contents, since it was using the largely uninitialized stack frame created by kvmppc_load_up_vsx. In fact, it isn't necessary to call either __giveup_vsx or load_up_vsx, since giveup_fpu and load_up_fpu handle the extra VSX registers as well as the standard FP registers on machines with VSX. Also, since VSX instructions can access the VMX registers and the FP registers as well as the extra VSX registers, we have to load up the FP and VMX registers before we can turn on the MSR_VSX bit for the guest. Conversely, if we save away any of the VSX or FP registers, we have to turn off MSR_VSX for the guest. To handle all this, it is more convenient for a single call to kvmppc_giveup_ext() to handle all the state saving that needs to be done, so we make it take a set of MSR bits rather than just one, and the switch statement becomes a series of if statements. Similarly kvmppc_handle_ext needs to be able to load up more than one set of registers. Signed-off-by:

This adds basic emulation of the PURR and SPURR registers. We assume we are emulating a single-threaded core, so these advance at the same rate as the timebase. A Linux kernel running on a POWER7 expects to be able to access these registers and is not prepared to handle a program interrupt on accessing them. This also adds a very minimal emulation of the DSCR (data stream control register). Writes are ignored and reads return zero. Signed-off-by:

Currently, if the guest does an H_PROTECT hcall requesting that the permissions on a HPT entry be changed to allow writing, we make the requested change even if the page is marked read-only in the host Linux page tables. This is a problem since it would for instance allow a guest to modify a page that KSM has decided can be shared between multiple guests. To fix this, if the new permissions for the page allow writing, we need to look up the memslot for the page, work out the host virtual address, and look up the Linux page tables to get the PTE for the page. If that PTE is read-only, we reduce the HPTE permissions to read-only. Signed-off-by:

This fixes a bug in the code which allows userspace to read out the contents of the guest's hashed page table (HPT). On the second and subsequent passes through the HPT, when we are reporting only those entries that have changed, we were incorrectly initializing the index field of the header with the index of the first entry we skipped rather than the first changed entry. This fixes it. Signed-off-by:

With HV-style KVM, we maintain reverse-mapping lists that enable us to find all the HPT (hashed page table) entries that reference each guest physical page, with the heads of the lists in the memslot->arch.rmap arrays. When we reset the HPT (i.e. when we reboot the VM), we clear out all the HPT entries but we were not clearing out the reverse mapping lists. The result is that as we create new HPT entries, the lists get corrupted, which can easily lead to loops, resulting in the host kernel hanging when it tries to traverse those lists. This fixes the problem by zeroing out all the reverse mapping lists when we zero out the HPT. This incidentally means that we are also zeroing our record of the referenced and changed bits (not the bits in the Linux PTEs, used by the Linux MM subsystem, but the bits used by the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl, and those used by kvm_age_hva() and kvm_test_age_hva()).

A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD, returns a file descriptor. Reads on this fd return the contents of the HPT (hashed page table), writes create and/or remove entries in the HPT. There is a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD, to indicate the presence of the ioctl. The ioctl takes an argument structure with the index of the first HPT entry to read out and a set of flags. The flags indicate whether the user is intending to read or write the HPT, and whether to return all entries or only the "bolted" entries (those with the bolted bit, 0x10, set in the first doubleword). This is intended for use in implementing qemu's savevm/loadvm and for live migration. Therefore, on reads, the first pass returns information about all HPTEs (or all bolted HPTEs). When the first pass reaches the end of the HPT, it returns from the read. Subsequent reads only return information about HPTEs that have changed since they were last read. A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last read finished will return 0 bytes. The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the invalid entries. Each block of data starts with a header that indicates the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of invalid entries following those valid entries. The valid entries, 16 bytes each, follow the header. The invalid entries are not explicitly represented. Signed-off-by:

This uses a bit in our record of the guest view of the HPTE to record when the HPTE gets modified. We use a reserved bit for this, and ensure that this bit is always cleared in HPTE values returned to the guest. The recording of modified HPTEs is only done if other code indicates its interest by setting kvm->arch.hpte_mod_interest to a non-zero value. The reason for this is that when later commits add facilities for userspace to read the HPT, the first pass of reading the HPT will be quicker if there are no (or very few) HPTEs marked as modified, rather than having most HPTEs marked as modified.

This fixes a bug where adding a new guest HPT entry via the H_ENTER hcall would lose the "changed" bit in the reverse map information for the guest physical page being mapped. The result was that the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG could return a zero bit for the page even though the page had been modified by the guest. This fixes it by only modifying the index and present bits in the reverse map entry, thus preserving the reference and change bits. We were also unnecessarily setting the reference bit, and this fixes that too. Signed-off-by:

This restructures the code that creates HPT (hashed page table) entries so that it can be called in situations where we don't have a struct vcpu pointer, only a struct kvm pointer. It also fixes a bug where kvmppc_map_vrma() would corrupt the guest R4 value. Most of the work of kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter is now done by a new function, kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter, which itself calls another new function, kvmppc_do_h_enter, which contains most of the old kvmppc_h_enter. The new kvmppc_do_h_enter takes explicit arguments for the place to return the HPTE index, the Linux page tables to use, and whether it is being called in real mode, thus removing the need for it to have the vcpu as an argument. Currently kvmppc_map_vrma creates the VRMA (virtual real mode area) HPTEs by calling kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter, which is designed primarily to handle H_ENTER hcalls from the guest that need to pin a page of memory. Since H_ENTER returns the index of the created HPTE in R4, kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter updates the guest R4, corrupting the guest R4 in the case when it gets called from kvmppc_map_vrma on the first VCPU_RUN ioctl. With this, kvmppc_map_vrma instead calls kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter with the address of a dummy word as the place to store the HPTE index, thus avoiding corrupting the guest R4. Signed-off-by:

CPUID.7.0.EBX[1]=1 indicates IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR 0x3b is supported Basic design is to emulate the MSR by allowing reads and writes to a guest vcpu specific location to store the value of the emulated MSR while adding the value to the vmcs tsc_offset. In this way the IA32_TSC_ADJUST value will be included in all reads to the TSC MSR whether through rdmsr or rdtsc. This is of course as long as the "use TSC counter offsetting" VM-execution control is enabled as well as the IA32_TSC_ADJUST control. However, because hardware will only return the TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST + vmsc tsc_offset for a guest process when it does and rdtsc (with the correct settings) the value of our virtualized IA32_TSC_ADJUST must be stored in one of these three locations. The argument against storing it in the actual MSR is performance. This is likely to be seldom used while the save/restore is required on every transition. IA32_TSC_ADJUST was created as a way to solve some issues with writing TSC itself so that is not an option either. The remaining option, defined above as our solution has the problem of returning incorrect vmcs tsc_offset values (unless we intercept and fix, not done here) as mentioned above. However, more problematic is that storing the data in vmcs tsc_offset will have a different semantic effect on the system than does using the actual MSR. This is illustrated in the following example: The hypervisor set the IA32_TSC_ADJUST, then the guest sets it and a guest process performs a rdtsc. In this case the guest process will get TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST_hyperviser + vmsc tsc_offset including IA32_TSC_ADJUST_guest. While the total system semantics changed the semantics as seen by the guest do not and hence this will not cause a problem. Signed-off-by:

In order to track who initiated the call (host or guest) to modify an msr value I have changed function call parameters along the call path. The specific change is to add a struct pointer parameter that points to (index, data, caller) information rather than having this information passed as individual parameters. The initial use for this capability is for updating the IA32_TSC_ADJUST msr while setting the tsc value. It is anticipated that this capability is useful for other tasks. Signed-off-by:

Prior to memory slot sorting this loop compared all of the user memory slots for overlap with new entries. With memory slot sorting, we're just checking some number of entries in the array that may or may not be user slots. Instead, walk all the slots with kvm_for_each_memslot, which has the added benefit of terminating early when we hit the first empty slot, and skip comparison to private slots.

With master clock, a pvclock clock read calculates: ret = system_timestamp + [ (rdtsc + tsc_offset) - tsc_timestamp ] Where 'rdtsc' is the host TSC. system_timestamp and tsc_timestamp are unique, one tuple per VM: the "master clock". Given a host with synchronized TSCs, its obvious that guest TSC must be matched for the above to guarantee monotonicity. Allow master clock usage only if guest TSCs are synchronized. Signed-off-by: -

Marcelo Tosatti authored
KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest. One of the reasons for that is that the time between 1. ktime_get_ts(×pec); 2. rdtscll(tsc); Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above. The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...). If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details. Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs and guest TSCs. Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read clock from userspace. Signed-off-by: -
