There is really no need to store the vgic_elrsr on the VGIC data structures as the only need we have for the elrsr is to figure out if an LR is inactive when we save the VGIC state upon returning from the guest. We can might as well store this in a temporary local variable. Reviewed-by:

To make the code more readable and to avoid the overhead of a function call, let's get rid of a pair of the alternative function selectors and explicitly call the VHE and non-VHE functions using the has_vhe() static key based selector instead, telling the compiler to try to inline the static function if it can.

We do not have to change the c15 trap setting on each switch to/from the guest on VHE systems, because this setting only affects guest EL1/EL0 (and therefore not the VHE host). The PMU and debug trap configuration can also be done on vcpu load/put instead, because they don't affect how the VHE host kernel can access the debug registers while executing KVM kernel code.

There is no longer a need for an alternative to choose the right function to tell us whether or not FPSIMD was enabled for the VM, because we can simply can the appropriate functions directly from within the _vhe and _nvhe run functions. Reviewed-by:

As we are about to be more lazy with some of the trap configuration register read/writes for VHE systems, move the logic that is currently shared between VHE and non-VHE into a separate function which can be called from either the world-switch path or from vcpu_load/vcpu_put. Reviewed-by:

When running a 32-bit VM (EL1 in AArch32), the AArch32 system registers can be deferred to vcpu load/put on VHE systems because neither the host kernel nor host userspace uses these registers. Note that we can't save DBGVCR32_EL2 conditionally based on the state of the debug dirty flag on VHE after this change, because during vcpu_load() we haven't calculated a valid debug flag yet, and when we've restored the register during vcpu_load() we also have to save it during vcpu_put(). This means that we'll always restore/save the register for VHE on load/put, but luckily vcpu load/put are called rarely, so saving an extra register unconditionally shouldn't significantly hurt performance. We can also not defer saving FPEXC32_32 because this register only holds a guest-valid value for 32-bit guests during the exit path when the guest has used FPSIMD registers and restored the register in the early assembly handler from taking the EL2 fault, and therefore we have to check if fpsimd is enabled for the guest in the exit path and save the register then, for both VHE and non-VHE guests.

32-bit registers are not used by a 64-bit host kernel and can be deferred, but we need to rework the accesses to these register to access the latest values depending on whether or not guest system registers are loaded on the CPU or only reside in memory. Reviewed-by:

Some system registers do not affect the host kernel's execution and can therefore be loaded when we are about to run a VCPU and we don't have to restore the host state to the hardware before the time when we are actually about to return to userspace or schedule out the VCPU thread. The EL1 system registers and the userspace state registers only affecting EL0 execution do not need to be saved and restored on every switch between the VM and the host, because they don't affect the host kernel's execution. We mark all registers which are now deffered as such in the vcpu_{read,write}_sys_reg accessors in sys-regs.c to ensure the most up-to-date copy is always accessed. Note MPIDR_EL1 (controlled via VMPIDR_EL2) is accessed from other vcpu threads, for example via the GIC emulation, and therefore must be declared as immediate, which is fine as the guest cannot modify this value. The 32-bit sysregs can also be deferred but we do this in a separate patch as it requires a bit more infrastructure. Reviewed-by: -

SPSR_EL1 is not used by a VHE host kernel and can be deferred, but we need to rework the accesses to this register to access the latest value depending on whether or not guest system registers are loaded on the CPU or only reside in memory. The handling of accessing the various banked SPSRs for 32-bit VMs is a bit clunky, but this will be improved in following patches which will first prepare and subsequently implement deferred save/restore of the 32-bit registers, including the 32-bit SPSRs.

We are about to defer saving and restoring some groups of system registers to vcpu_put and vcpu_load on supported systems. This means that we need some infrastructure to access system registes which supports either accessing the memory backing of the register or directly accessing the system registers, depending on the state of the system when we access the register. We do this by defining read/write accessor functions, which can handle both "immediate" and "deferrable" system registers. Immediate registers are always saved/restored in the world-switch path, but deferrable registers are only saved/restored in vcpu_put/vcpu_load when supported and sysregs_loaded_on_cpu will be set in that case. Note that we don't use the deferred mechanism yet in this patch, but only introduce infrastructure. This is to improve convenience of review in the subsequent patches where it is clear which registers become deferred. Reviewed-by:

Currently we access the system registers array via the vcpu_sys_reg() macro. However, we are about to change the behavior to some times modify the register file directly, so let's change this to two primitives: * Accessor macros vcpu_write_sys_reg() and vcpu_read_sys_reg() * Direct array access macro __vcpu_sys_reg() The accessor macros should be used in places where the code needs to access the currently loaded VCPU's state as observed by the guest. For example, when trapping on cache related registers, a write to a system register should go directly to the VCPU version of the register. The direct array access macro can be used in places where the VCPU is known to never be running (for example userspace access) or for registers which are never context switched (for example all the PMU system registers). This rewrites all users of vcpu_sys_regs to one of the macros described above. No functional change. Acked-by:

We currently handle 32-bit accesses to trapped VM system registers using the 32-bit index into the coproc array on the vcpu structure, which is a union of the coproc array and the sysreg array. Since all the 32-bit coproc indices are created to correspond to the architectural mapping between 64-bit system registers and 32-bit coprocessor registers, and because the AArch64 system registers are the double in size of the AArch32 coprocessor registers, we can always find the system register entry that we must update by dividing the 32-bit coproc index by 2. This is going to make our lives much easier when we have to start accessing system registers that use deferred save/restore and might have to be read directly from the physical CPU. Reviewed-by:

On non-VHE systems we need to save the ELR_EL2 and SPSR_EL2 so that we can return to the host in EL1 in the same state and location where we issued a hypercall to EL2, but on VHE ELR_EL2 and SPSR_EL2 are not useful because we never enter a guest as a result of an exception entry that would be directly handled by KVM. The kernel entry code already saves ELR_EL1/SPSR_EL1 on exception entry, which is enough. Therefore, factor out these registers into separate save/restore functions, making it easy to exclude them from the VHE world-switch path later on. Reviewed-by:

There is no need to have multiple identical functions with different names for saving host and guest state. When saving and restoring state for the host and guest, the state is the same for both contexts, and that's why we have the kvm_cpu_context structure. Delete one version and rename the other into simply save/restore. Reviewed-by:

As we are about to handle system registers quite differently between VHE and non-VHE systems. In preparation for that, we need to split some of the handling functions between VHE and non-VHE functionality. For now, we simply copy the non-VHE functions, but we do change the use of static keys for VHE and non-VHE functionality now that we have separate functions. Reviewed-by:

There's a semantic difference between the EL1 registers that control operation of a kernel running in EL1 and EL1 registers that only control userspace execution in EL0. Since we can defer saving/restoring the latter, move them into their own function. The ARMv8 ARM (ARM DDI 0487C.a) Section D10.2.1 recommends that ACTLR_EL1 has no effect on the processor when running the VHE host, and we can therefore move this register into the EL1 state which is only saved/restored on vcpu_put/load for a VHE host. We also take this chance to rename the function saving/restoring the remaining system register to make it clear this function deals with the EL1 system registers. Reviewed-by:

The VHE switch function calls __timer_enable_traps and __timer_disable_traps which don't do anything on VHE systems. Therefore, simply remove these calls from the VHE switch function and make the functions non-conditional as they are now only called from the non-VHE switch path. Acked-by:

So far this is mostly (see below) a copy of the legacy non-VHE switch function, but we will start reworking these functions in separate directions to work on VHE and non-VHE in the most optimal way in later patches. The only difference after this patch between the VHE and non-VHE run functions is that we omit the branch-predictor variant-2 hardening for QC Falkor CPUs, because this workaround is specific to a series of non-VHE ARMv8.0 CPUs.

The current world-switch function has functionality to detect a number of cases where we need to fixup some part of the exit condition and possibly run the guest again, before having restored the host state. This includes populating missing fault info, emulating GICv2 CPU interface accesses when mapped at unaligned addresses, and emulating the GICv3 CPU interface on systems that need it. As we are about to have an alternative switch function for VHE systems, but VHE systems still need the same early fixup logic, factor out this logic into a separate function that can be shared by both switch functions. No functional change. Reviewed-by:

Instead of having multiple calls from the world switch path to the debug logic, each figuring out if the dirty bit is set and if we should save/restore the debug registers, let's just provide two hooks to the debug save/restore functionality, one for switching to the guest context, and one for switching to the host context, and we get the benefit of only having to evaluate the dirty flag once on each path, plus we give the compiler some more room to inline some of this functionality.

The debug save/restore functions can be improved by using the has_vhe() static key instead of the instruction alternative. Using the static key uses the same paradigm as we're going to use elsewhere, it makes the code more readable, and it generates slightly better code (no stack setups and function calls unless necessary). We also use a static key on the restore path, because it will be marginally faster than loading a value from memory. Finally, we don't have to conditionally clear the debug dirty flag if it's set, we can just clear it. Reviewed-by:

We have numerous checks around that checks if the HCR_EL2 has the RW bit set to figure out if we're running an AArch64 or AArch32 VM. In some cases, directly checking the RW bit (given its unintuitive name), is a bit confusing, and that's not going to improve as we move logic around for the following patches that optimize KVM on AArch64 hosts with VHE. Therefore, introduce a helper, vcpu_el1_is_32bit, and replace existing direct checks of HCR_EL2.RW with the helper. Reviewed-by:

We currently have a separate read-modify-write of the HCR_EL2 on entry to the guest for the sole purpose of setting the VF and VI bits, if set.

We always set the IMO and FMO bits in the HCR_EL2 when running the guest, regardless if we use the vgic or not. By moving these flags to HCR_GUEST_FLAGS we can avoid one of the extra save/restore operations of HCR_EL2 in the world switch code, and we can also soon get rid of the other one. This is safe, because even though the IMO and FMO bits control both taking the interrupts to EL2 and remapping ICC_*_EL1 to ICV_*_EL1 when executed at EL1, as long as we ensure that these bits are clear when running the EL1 host, we're OK, because we reset the HCR_EL2 to only have the HCR_RW bit set when returning to EL1 on non-VHE systems.

VHE actually doesn't rely on clearing the VTTBR when returning to the host kernel, and that is the current key mechanism of hyp_panic to figure out how to attempt to return to a state good enough to print a panic statement. Therefore, we split the hyp_panic function into two functions, a VHE and a non-VHE, keeping the non-VHE version intact, but changing the VHE behavior. The vttbr_el2 check on VHE doesn't really make that much sense, because the only situation where we can get here on VHE is when the hypervisor assembly code actually called into hyp_panic, which only happens when VBAR_EL2 has been set to the KVM exception vectors. On VHE, we can always safely disable the traps and restore the host registers at this point, so we simply do that unconditionally and call into the panic function directly. Acked-by:

We already have the percpu area for the host cpu state, which points to the VCPU, so there's no need to store the VCPU pointer on the stack on every context switch. We can be a little more clever and just use tpidr_el2 for the percpu offset and load the VCPU pointer from the host context. This has the benefit of being able to retrieve the host context even when our stack is corrupted, and it has a potential performance benefit because we trade a store plus a load for an mrs and a load on a round trip to the guest. This does require us to calculate the percpu offset without including the offset from the kernel mapping of the percpu array to the linear mapping of the array (which is what we store in tpidr_el1), because a PC-relative generated address in EL2 is already giving us the hyp alias of the linear mapping of a kernel address. We do this in __cpu_init_hyp_mode() by using kvm_ksym_ref(). The code that accesses ESR_EL2 was previously using an alternative to use the _EL1 accessor on VHE systems, but this was actually unnecessary as the _EL1 accessor aliases the ESR_EL2 register on VHE, and the _EL2 accessor does the same thing on both systems.

Moving the call to vcpu_load() in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() to after we've called kvm_vcpu_first_run_init() simplifies some of the vgic and there is also no need to do vcpu_load() for things such as handling the immediate_exit flag. Reviewed-by:

Calling vcpu_load() registers preempt notifiers for this vcpu and calls kvm_arch_vcpu_load(). The latter will soon be doing a lot of heavy lifting on arm/arm64 and will try to do things such as enabling the virtual timer and setting us up to handle interrupts from the timer hardware. Loading state onto hardware registers and enabling hardware to signal interrupts can be problematic when we're not actually about to run the VCPU, because it makes it difficult to establish the right context when handling interrupts from the timer, and it makes the register access code difficult to reason about. Luckily, now when we call vcpu_load in each ioctl implementation, we can simply remove the call from the non-KVM_RUN vcpu ioctls, and our kvm_arch_vcpu_load() is only used for loading vcpu content to the physical CPU when we're actually going to run the vcpu.

In AArch64/AArch32, the virtual counter uses a fixed virtual offset of zero in the following situations as per ARMv8 specifications: 1) HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, and CNTVCT_EL0/CNTVCT are read from EL2. 2) HCR_EL2.{E2H, TGE} is {1, 1}, and either: — CNTVCT_EL0 is read from Non-secure EL0 or EL2. — CNTVCT is read from Non-secure EL0.

The HCR_EL2.TID3 flag needs to be set when trapping guest access to the CPU ID registers is required. However, the decision about whether to set this bit does not need to be repeated at every switch to the guest. Instead, it's sufficient to make this decision once and record the outcome. This patch moves the decision to vcpu_reset_hcr() and records the choice made in vcpu->arch.hcr_el2. The world switch code can then load this directly when switching to the guest without the need for conditional logic on the critical path. Signed-off-by:

We don't currently limit guest accesses to the LOR registers, which we neither virtualize nor context-switch. As such, guests are provided with unusable information/controls, and are not isolated from each other (or the host). To prevent these issues, we can trap register accesses and present the illusion LORegions are unssupported by the CPU. To do this, we mask ID_AA64MMFR1.LO, and set HCR_EL2.TLOR to trap accesses to the following registers: * LORC_EL1 * LOREA_EL1 * LORID_EL1 * LORN_EL1 * LORSA_EL1 ... when trapped, we inject an UNDEFINED exception to EL1, simulating their non-existence. As noted in D7.2.67, when no LORegions are implemented, LoadLOAcquire and StoreLORelease must behave as LoadAcquire and StoreRelease respectively. We can ensure this by clearing LORC_EL1.EN when a CPU's EL2 is first initialized, as the host kernel will not modify this. Signed-off-by:
