Nested Hyper-V/Windows guest running on top of KVM will use TSC page clocksource in two cases: - L0 exposes invariant TSC (CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8]). - L0 provides Hyper-V Reenlightenment support (CPUID.40000003H:EAX[13]). Exposing invariant TSC effectively blocks migration to hosts with different TSC frequencies, providing reenlightenment support will be needed when we start migrating nested workloads. Implement rudimentary support for reenlightenment MSRs. For now, these are just read/write MSRs with no effect.

... to avoid having a stale value when handling an EPT misconfig for MMIO regions. MMIO regions that are not passed-through to the guest are handled through EPT misconfigs. The first time a certain MMIO page is touched it causes an EPT violation, then KVM marks the EPT entry to cause an EPT misconfig instead. Any subsequent accesses to the entry will generate an EPT misconfig. Things gets slightly complicated with nested guest handling for MMIO regions that are not passed through from L0 (i.e. emulated by L0 user-space). An EPT violation for one of these MMIO regions from L2, exits to L0 hypervisor. L0 would then look at the EPT12 mapping for L1 hypervisor and realize it is not present (or not sufficient to serve the request). Then L0 injects an EPT violation to L1. L1 would then update its EPT mappings. The EXIT_QUALIFICATION value for L1 would come from exit_qualification variable in "struct vcpu". The problem is that this variable is only updated on EPT violation and not on EPT misconfig. So if an EPT violation because of a read happened first, then an EPT misconfig because of a write happened afterwards. The L0 hypervisor will still contain exit_qualification value from the previous read instead of the write and end up injecting an EPT violation to the L1 hypervisor with an out of date EXIT_QUALIFICATION. The EPT violation that is injected from L0 to L1 needs to have the correct EXIT_QUALIFICATION specially for the access bits because the individual access bits for MMIO EPTs are updated only on actual access of this specific type. So for the example above, the L1 hypervisor will keep updating only the read bit in the EPT then resume the L2 guest. The L2 guest would end up causing another exit where the L0 *again* will inject another EPT violation to L1 hypervisor with *again* an out of date exit_qualification which indicates a read and not a write. Then this ping-pong just keeps happening without making any forward progress. The behavior of mapping MMIO regions changed in: commit a340b3e2 ("kvm: Map PFN-type memory regions as writable (if possible)") ... where an EPT violation for a read would also fixup the write bits to avoid another EPT violation which by acciddent would fix the bug mentioned above. This commit fixes this situation and ensures that the access bits for the exit_qualifcation is up to date. That ensures that even L1 hypervisor running with a KVM version before the commit mentioned above would still work. ( The description above assumes EPT to be available and used by L1 hypervisor + the L1 hypervisor is passing through the MMIO region to the L2 guest while this MMIO region is emulated by the L0 user-space ).

The type 'enum kvm_reg_ex' is an extension of 'enum kvm_reg', however the extension is only semantical and the compiler doesn't know about the relationship between the two types. In kvm_pdptr_read() a value of the extended type is passed to kvm_x86_ops->cache_reg(), which expects a value of the base type. Clang raises the following warning about the type mismatch: arch/x86/kvm/kvm_cache_regs.h:44:32: warning: implicit conversion from enumeration type 'enum kvm_reg_ex' to different enumeration type 'enum kvm_reg' [-Wenum-conversion] kvm_x86_ops->cache_reg(vcpu, VCPU_EXREG_PDPTR); Cast VCPU_EXREG_PDPTR to 'enum kvm_reg' to make the compiler happy.

Devices which use level-triggered interrupts under Windows 2016 with Hyper-V role enabled don't work: Windows disables EOI broadcast in SPIV unconditionally. Our in-kernel IOAPIC implementation emulates an old IOAPIC version which has no EOI register so EOI never happens. The issue was discovered and discussed a while ago: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg148098.html While this is a guest OS bug (it should check that IOAPIC has the required capabilities before disabling EOI broadcast) we can workaround it in KVM: advertising DIRECTED_EOI with in-kernel IOAPIC makes little sense anyway.

Add support for AMD Core Performance counters in the guest. The base event select and counter MSRs are changed. In addition, with the core extension, there are 2 extra counters available for performance measurements for a total of 6. With the new MSRs, the logic to map them to the gp_counters[] is changed. New functions are added to check the validity of the get/set MSRs. If the guest has the X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE cpuid flag set, the number of counters available to the vcpu is set to 6. It the flag is not set then it is 4.

This patch introduces kvm_para_has_hint() to query for hints about the configuration of the guests. The first hint KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED, is set if the guest has dedicated physical CPUs for each vCPU (i.e. pinning and no over-commitment).

The loading time of a VM is quite significant with a CPU usage reaching 100% when loading a VM that its virtio devices use a large amount of virt-queues (e.g. a virtio-serial device with max_ports=511). Most of the time is spend in re-sorting the kvm_io_bus kvm_io_range array when a new eventfd is registered. The patch replaces the existing method with an insert sort.

This commit implements an enhanced x86 version of S390 KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS functionality. KVM_CAP_SYNC_REGS "allow[s] userspace to access certain guest registers without having to call SET/GET_*REGS”. This reduces ioctl overhead which is particularly important when userspace is making synchronous guest state modifications (e.g. when emulating and/or intercepting instructions). Originally implemented upstream for the S390, the x86 differences follow: - userspace can select the register sets to be synchronized with kvm_run using bit-flags in the kvm_valid_registers and kvm_dirty_registers fields. - vcpu_events is available in addition to the regs and sregs register sets.

In Hyper-V, the fast guest->host notification mechanism is the SIGNAL_EVENT hypercall, with a single parameter of the connection ID to signal. Currently this hypercall incurs a user exit and requires the userspace to decode the parameters and trigger the notification of the potentially different I/O context. To avoid the costly user exit, process this hypercall and signal the corresponding eventfd in KVM, similar to ioeventfd. The association between the connection id and the eventfd is established via the newly introduced KVM_HYPERV_EVENTFD ioctl, and maintained in an (srcu-protected) IDR.

Re-enable deep flush so that users always have a way to be sure that a write makes it all the way out to media. Writes from the PMEM driver always arrive at the NVDIMM since movnt is used to bypass the cache, and the driver relies on the ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) mechanism to flush write buffers on power failure. The Deep Flush mechanism is there to explicitly write buffers to protect against (rare) ADR failure. This change prevents a regression in deep flush behavior so that applications can continue to depend on fsync() as a mechanism to trigger deep flush in the filesystem-DAX case.

Filesystem-DAX is incompatible with 'longterm' page pinning. Without page cache indirection a DAX mapping maps filesystem blocks directly. This means that the filesystem must not modify a file's block map while any page in a mapping is pinned. In order to prevent the situation of userspace holding of filesystem operations indefinitely, disallow 'longterm' Filesystem-DAX mappings. RDMA has the same conflict and the plan there is to add a 'with lease' mechanism to allow the kernel to notify userspace that the mapping is being torn down for block-map maintenance. Perhaps something similar can be put in place for vfio. Note that xfs and ext4 still report: "DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" ...at mount time, and resolving the dax-dma-vs-truncate problem is one of the last hurdles to remove that designation.
