Tracepoint for dynamic PLE window, fired on every potential change. Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Radim Krčmář authored
Window is increased on every PLE exit and decreased on every sched_in. The idea is that we don't want to PLE exit if there is no preemption going on. We do this with sched_in() because it does not hold rq lock. There are two new kernel parameters for changing the window: ple_window_grow and ple_window_shrink ple_window_grow affects the window on PLE exit and ple_window_shrink does it on sched_in; depending on their value, the window is modifier like this: (ple_window is kvm_intel's global) ple_window_shrink/ | ple_window_grow | PLE exit | sched_in -------------------+--------------------+--------------------- < 1 | = ple_window | = ple_window < ple_window | *= ple_window_grow | /= ple_window_shrink otherwise | += ple_window_grow | -= ple_window_shrink A third new parameter, ple_window_max, controls the maximal ple_window; it is internally rounded down to a closest multiple of ple_window_grow. VCPU's PLE window is never allowed below ple_window. Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

EPT misconfig handler in kvm will check which reason lead to EPT misconfiguration after vmexit. One of the reasons is that an EPT paging-structure entry is configured with settings reserved for future functionality. However, the handler can't identify if paging-structure entry of reserved bits for 1-GByte page are configured, since PDPTE which point to 1-GByte page will reserve bits 29:12 instead of bits 7:3 which are reserved for PDPTE that references an EPT Page Directory. This patch fix it by reserve bits 29:12 for 1-GByte page. Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Currently, recalculate_apic_map ignores vcpus whose lapic is software disabled through the spurious interrupt vector. However, once it is re-enabled, the map is not recalculated. Therefore, if the guest OS configured DFR while lapic is software-disabled, the map may be incorrect. This patch recalculates apic map after software enabling the lapic.

Intel SDM 10.5.4.1 says "When the timer generates an interrupt, it disarms itself and clears the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR". This patch clears the MSR upon timer interrupt delivery which delivered on deadline mode. Since the MSR may be reconfigured while an interrupt is pending, causing the new value to be overriden, pending timer interrupts are checked before setting a new deadline.

Section 11.11.2.3 of the SDM mentions "All other bits in the IA32_MTRR_PHYSBASEn and IA32_MTRR_PHYSMASKn registers are reserved; the processor generates a general-protection exception(#GP) if software attempts to write to them".

The first entry in each pair(IA32_MTRR_PHYSBASEn) defines the base address and memory type for the range; the second entry(IA32_MTRR_PHYSMASKn) contains a mask used to determine the address range. The legal values for the type field of IA32_MTRR_PHYSBASEn are 0,1,4,5, and 6. However, IA32_MTRR_PHYSMASKn don't have type field. This patch avoid check if the type field is legal for IA32_MTRR_PHYSMASKn. Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Current KVM only supports RDMSR for K7_EVNTSEL0 and K7_PERFCTR0 MSRs. Reading the rest MSRs will trigger KVM to inject #GP into guest VM. This causes a warning message "Failed to access perfctr msr (MSR c0010001 is ffffffffffffffff)" on AMD host. This patch adds RDMSR support for all K7_EVNTSELn and K7_PERFCTRn registers and thus supresses the warning message.

As a generic function, deassign_guest_irq() assumes it can be called even if assign_guest_irq() is not be called successfully (which can be triggered by ioctl from user mode, indirectly). So for assign_guest_irq() failure process, need set 'dev->irq_source_id' to -1 after free 'dev->irq_source_id', or deassign_guest_irq() may free it again.

This reverts the check added by commit 5045b468 (KVM: x86: check CS.DPL against RPL during task switch, 2014-05-15). Although the CS.DPL=CS.RPL check is mentioned in table 7-1 of the SDM as causing a #TSS exception, it is not mentioned in table 6-6 that lists "invalid TSS conditions" which cause #TSS exceptions. In fact it causes some tests to fail, which pass on bare-metal. Keep the rest of the commit, since we will find new uses for it in 3.18.

Commit d40a6898 mistakenly caused instructions which are not marked as EmulateOnUD to be emulated upon #UD exception. The commit caused the check of whether the instruction flags include EmulateOnUD to never be evaluated. As a result instructions whose emulation is broken may be emulated. This fix moves the evaluation of EmulateOnUD so it would be evaluated.

fc95ca72 claims that there is no functional change but this is not true as it calls get_order() (which takes bytes) where it should have called order_base_2() and the kernel stops on VM_BUG_ON(). This replaces get_order() with order_base_2() (round-up version of ilog2).

The third parameter of kvm_iommu_put_pages is wrong, It should be 'gfn - slot->base_gfn'. By making gfn very large, malicious guest or userspace can cause kvm to go to this error path, and subsequently to pass a huge value as size. Alternatively if gfn is small, then pages would be pinned but never unpinned, causing host memory leak and local DOS. Passing a reasonable but large value could be the most dangerous case, because it would unpin a page that should have stayed pinned, and thus allow the device to DMA into arbitrary memory. However, this cannot happen because of the condition that can trigger the error: - out of memory (where you can't allocate even a single page) should not be possible for the attacker to trigger - when exceeding the iommu's address space, guest pages after gfn will also exceed the iommu's address space, and inside kvm_iommu_put_pages() the iommu_iova_to_phys() will fail. The page thus would not be unpinned at all. Reported-by: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@mellanox.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Michael S.
