Since this field is now in kvm_vcpu_arch, clean things up a little by setting it in vendor-agnostic code: vcpu_enter_guest. Note that it must be set after the call to kvm_x86_ops.run(), since it can't be updated before pre_sev_run().

More often than not, a failed VM-entry in an x86 production environment is induced by a defective CPU. To help identify the bad hardware, include the id of the last logical CPU to run a vCPU in the information provided to userspace on a KVM exit for failed VM-entry or for KVM internal errors not associated with emulation. The presence of this additional information is indicated by a new capability, KVM_CAP_LAST_CPU.

This code was using get_user_pages*(), in a "Case 2" scenario (DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's time to convert the get_user_pages*() + put_page() calls to pin_user_pages*() + unpin_user_pages() calls. There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small part of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and file systems' use of those pages.

There are two problems in svn_pin_memory(): 1) The return value of get_user_pages_fast() is stored in an unsigned long, although the declared return value is of type int. This will not cause any symptoms, but it is misleading. Fix this by changing the type of npinned to "int". 2) The number of pages passed into get_user_pages_fast() is stored in an unsigned long, even though get_user_pages_fast() accepts an int. This means that it is possible to silently overflow the number of pages. Fix this by adding a WARN_ON_ONCE() and an early error return. The npages variable is left as an unsigned long for convenience in checking for overflow.

MSR accesses can be one of: (1) KVM internal access, (2) userspace access (e.g., via KVM_SET_MSRS ioctl), (3) guest access. The ignore_msrs was previously handled by kvm_get_msr_common() and kvm_set_msr_common(), which is the bottom of the msr access stack. It's working in most cases, however it could dump unwanted warning messages to dmesg even if kvm get/set the msrs internally when calling __kvm_set_msr() or __kvm_get_msr() (e.g. kvm_cpuid()). Ideally we only want to trap cases (2) or (3), but not (1) above. To achieve this, move the ignore_msrs handling upper until the callers of __kvm_get_msr() and __kvm_set_msr(). To identify the "msr missing" event, a new return value (KVM_MSR_RET_INVALID==2) is used for that.

"kvm_arch" is usually used for x86 functions that are invoked from generic KVM, and implies that there are external callers, neither of which is true.

Use the "common" KVM_POSSIBLE_CR*_GUEST_BITS defines to initialize the CR0/CR4 guest host masks instead of duplicating most of the CR4 mask and open coding the CR0 mask. SVM doesn't utilize the masks, i.e. the masks are effectively VMX specific even if they're not named as such. This avoids duplicate code, better documents the guest owned CR0 bit, and eliminates the need for a build-time assertion to keep VMX and x86 synchronized.

Mark CR4.TSD as being possibly owned by the guest as that is indeed the case on VMX. Without TSD being tagged as possibly owned by the guest, a targeted read of CR4 to get TSD could observe a stale value. This bug is benign in the current code base as the sole consumer of TSD is the emulator (for RDTSC) and the emulator always "reads" the entirety of CR4 when grabbing bits. Add a build-time assertion in to ensure VMX doesn't hand over more CR4 bits without also updating x86.

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-master-5.8-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into kvm-master The current number of KVM_IRQCHIP_NUM_PINS results in an order 3 allocation (32kb) for each guest start/restart which can result in OOM killer activity when kernel memory is fragmented enough. This fix reduces the number of iopins as s390 doesn't use them, hence reducing the memory footprint.

When making a vPE non-resident because it has hit a blocking WFI, the doorbell can fire at any time after the write to the RD. Crucially, it can fire right between the write to GICR_VPENDBASER and the write to the pending_last field in the its_vpe structure. This means that we would overwrite pending_last with stale data, and potentially not wakeup until some unrelated event (such as a timer interrupt) puts the vPE back on the CPU. GICv4 isn't affected by this as we actively mask the doorbell on entering the guest, while GICv4.1 automatically manages doorbell delivery without any hypervisor-driven masking. Use the vpe_lock to synchronize such update, which solves the problem altogether.

The Linux TSC calibration procedure is subject to small variations (its common to see +-1 kHz difference between reboots on a given CPU, for example). So migrating a guest between two hosts with identical processor can fail, in case of a small variation in calibrated TSC between them. Without TSC scaling, the current kernel interface will either return an error (if user_tsc_khz <= tsc_khz) or enable TSC catchup mode. This change enables the following TSC tolerance check to accept KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ within tsc_tolerance_ppm (which is 250ppm by default). /* * Compute the variation in TSC rate which is acceptable * within the range of tolerance and decide if the * rate being applied is within that bounds of the hardware * rate. If so, no scaling or compensation need be done. */ thresh_lo = adjust_tsc_khz(tsc_khz, -tsc_tolerance_ppm); thresh_hi = adjust_tsc_khz(tsc_khz, tsc_tolerance_ppm); if (user_tsc_khz < thresh_lo || user_tsc_khz > thresh_hi) { pr_debug("kvm: requested TSC rate %u falls outside tolerance [%u,%u]\n", user_tsc_khz, thresh_lo, thresh_hi); use_scaling = 1; } NTP daemon in the guest can correct this difference (NTP can correct upto 500ppm).

Remove support for context switching between the guest's and host's desired UMWAIT_CONTROL. Propagating the guest's value to hardware isn't required for correct functionality, e.g. KVM intercepts reads and writes to the MSR, and the latency effects of the settings controlled by the MSR are not architecturally visible. As a general rule, KVM should not allow the guest to control power management settings unless explicitly enabled by userspace, e.g. see KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS. E.g. Intel's SDM explicitly states that C0.2 can improve the performance of SMT siblings. A devious guest could disable C0.2 so as to improve the performance of their workloads at the detriment to workloads running in the host or on other VMs. Wholesale removal of UMWAIT_CONTROL context switching also fixes a race condition where updates from the host may cause KVM to enter the guest with the incorrect value. Because updates are are propagated to all CPUs via IPI (SMP function callback), the value in hardware may be stale with respect to the cached value and KVM could enter the guest with the wrong value in hardware. As above, the guest can't observe the bad value, but it's a weird and confusing wart in the implementation. Removal also fixes the unnecessary usage of VMX's atomic load/store MSR lists. Using the lists is only necessary for MSRs that are required for correct functionality immediately upon VM-Enter/VM-Exit, e.g. EFER on old hardware, or for MSRs that need to-the-uop precision, e.g. perf related MSRs. For UMWAIT_CONTROL, the effects are only visible in the kernel via TPAUSE/delay(), and KVM doesn't do any form of delay in vcpu_vmx_run(). Using the atomic lists is undesirable as they are more expensive than direct RDMSR/WRMSR. Furthermore, even if giving the guest control of the MSR is legitimate, e.g. in pass-through scenarios, it's not clear that the benefits would outweigh the overhead. E.g. saving and restoring an MSR across a VMX roundtrip costs ~250 cycles, and if the guest diverged from the host that cost would be paid on every run of the guest. In other words, if there is a legitimate use case then it should be enabled by a new per-VM capability. Note, KVM still needs to emulate MSR_IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL so that it can correctly expose other WAITPKG features to the guest, e.g. TPAUSE, UMWAIT and UMONITOR.

Explicitly pass the L2 GPA to kvm_arch_write_log_dirty(), which for all intents and purposes is vmx_write_pml_buffer(), instead of having the latter pull the GPA from vmcs.GUEST_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS. If the dirty bit update is the result of KVM emulation (rare for L2), then the GPA in the VMCS may be stale and/or hold a completely unrelated GPA.

translate_gpa() returns a GPA, assigning it to 'real_gfn' seems obviously wrong. There is no real issue because both 'gpa_t' and 'gfn_t' are u64 and we don't use the value in 'real_gfn' as a GFN, we do real_gfn = gpa_to_gfn(real_gfn); instead. 'If you see a "buffalo" sign on an elephant's cage, do not trust your eyes', but let's fix it for good. No functional change intended.

The following race can cause lost map update events: cpu1 cpu2 apic_map_dirty = true ------------------------------------------------------------ kvm_recalculate_apic_map: pass check mutex_lock(&kvm->arch.apic_map_lock); if (!kvm->arch.apic_map_dirty) and in process of updating map ------------------------------------------------------------- other calls to apic_map_dirty = true might be too late for affected cpu ------------------------------------------------------------- apic_map_dirty = false ------------------------------------------------------------- kvm_recalculate_apic_map: bail out on if (!kvm->arch.apic_map_dirty) To fix it, record the beginning of an update of the APIC map in apic_map_dirty. If another APIC map change switches apic_map_dirty back to DIRTY during the update, kvm_recalculate_apic_map should not make it CLEAN, and the other caller will go through the slow path.
