The "load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL" bit for VM-entry and VM-exit should only be exposed to the guest if IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL is a valid MSR. Create a new helper to allow pmu_refresh() to update the VM-Entry and VM-Exit controls to ensure PMU values are initialized when performing the is_valid_msr() check. Suggested-by:

Add condition to prepare_vmcs02 which loads IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL on VM-entry if the "load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL" bit on the VM-entry control is set. Use SET_MSR_OR_WARN() rather than directly writing to the field to avoid overwrite by atomic_switch_perf_msrs(). Suggested-by:

Oliver Upton authored
The existing implementation for loading the IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR on VM-exit was incorrect, as the next call to atomic_switch_perf_msrs() could cause this value to be overwritten. Instead, call kvm_set_msr() which will allow atomic_switch_perf_msrs() to correctly set the values. Define a macro, SET_MSR_OR_WARN(), to set the MSR with kvm_set_msr() and WARN on failure.

When KVM emulates a nested VMEntry (L1->L2 VMEntry), it switches mmu root page. If nEPT is used, this will happen from kvm_init_shadow_ept_mmu()->__kvm_mmu_new_cr3() and otherwise it will happpen from nested_vmx_load_cr3()->kvm_mmu_new_cr3(). Either case, __kvm_mmu_new_cr3() will use fast_cr3_switch() in attempt to switch to a previously cached root page. In case fast_cr3_switch() finds a matching cached root page, it will set it in mmu->root_hpa and request KVM_REQ_LOAD_CR3 such that on next entry to guest, KVM will set root HPA in appropriate hardware fields (e.g. vmcs->eptp). In addition, fast_cr3_switch() calls kvm_x86_ops->tlb_flush() in order to flush TLB as MMU root page was replaced. This works as mmu->root_hpa, which vmx_flush_tlb() use, was already replaced in cached_root_available(). However, this may result in unnecessary INVEPT execution because a KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH may have already been requested. For example, by prepare_vmcs02() in case L1 don't use VPID. Therefore, change fast_cr3_switch() to just request TLB flush on next entry to guest. Reviewed-by:

Currently, a host perf_event is created for a vPMC functionality emulation. It’s unpredictable to determine if a disabled perf_event will be reused. If they are disabled and are not reused for a considerable period of time, those obsolete perf_events would increase host context switch overhead that could have been avoided. If the guest doesn't WRMSR any of the vPMC's MSRs during an entire vcpu sched time slice, and its independent enable bit of the vPMC isn't set, we can predict that the guest has finished the use of this vPMC, and then do request KVM_REQ_PMU in kvm_arch_sched_in and release those perf_events in the first call of kvm_pmu_handle_event() after the vcpu is scheduled in. This lazy mechanism delays the event release time to the beginning of the next scheduled time slice if vPMC's MSRs aren't changed during this time slice. If guest comes back to use this vPMC in next time slice, a new perf event would be re-created via perf_event_create_kernel_counter() as usual. Suggested-by:

The perf_event_create_kernel_counter() in the pmc_reprogram_counter() is a heavyweight and high-frequency operation, especially when host disables the watchdog (maximum 21000000 ns) which leads to an unacceptable latency of the guest NMI handler. It limits the use of vPMUs in the guest. When a vPMC is fully enabled, the legacy reprogram_*_counter() would stop and release its existing perf_event (if any) every time EVEN in most cases almost the same requested perf_event will be created and configured again. For each vPMC, if the reuqested config ('u64 eventsel' for gp and 'u8 ctrl' for fixed) is the same as its current config AND a new sample period based on pmc->counter is accepted by host perf interface, the current event could be reused safely as a new created one does. Otherwise, do release the undesirable perf_event and reprogram a new one as usual. It's light-weight to call pmc_pause_counter (disable, read and reset event) and pmc_resume_counter (recalibrate period and re-enable event) as guest expects instead of release-and-create again on any condition. Compared to use the filterable event->attr or hw.config, a new 'u64 current_config' field is added to save the last original programed config for each vPMC. Based on this implementation, the number of calls to pmc_reprogram_counter is reduced by ~82.5% for a gp sampling event and ~99.9% for a fixed event. In the usage of multiplexing perf sampling mode, the average latency of the guest NMI handler is reduced from 104923 ns to 48393 ns (~2.16x speed up). If host disables watchdog, the minimum latecy of guest NMI handler could be speed up at ~3413x (from 20407603 to 5979 ns) and at ~786x in the average.

The leagcy pmu_ops->msr_idx_to_pmc is only called in kvm_pmu_rdpmc, so this function actually receives the contents of ECX before RDPMC, and translates it to a kvm_pmc. Let's clarify its semantic by renaming the existing msr_idx_to_pmc to rdpmc_ecx_to_pmc, and is_valid_msr_idx to is_valid_rdpmc_ecx; likewise for the wrapper kvm_pmu_is_valid_msr_idx. Suggested-by:

When L1 don't use TPR-Shadow to run L2, L0 configures vmcs02 without TPR-Shadow and install intercepts on CR8 access (load and store). If L1 do not intercept L2 CR8 access, L0 intercepts on those accesses will emulate load/store on L1's LAPIC TPR. If in this case L2 lowers TPR such that there is now an injectable interrupt to L1, apic_update_ppr() will request a KVM_REQ_EVENT which will trigger a call to update_cr8_intercept() to update TPR-Threshold to highest pending IRR priority. However, this update to TPR-Threshold is done while active vmcs is vmcs02 instead of vmcs01. Thus, when later at some point L0 will emulate an exit from L2 to L1, L1 will still run with high TPR-Threshold. This will result in every VMEntry to L1 to immediately exit on TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD and continue to do so infinitely until some condition will cause KVM_REQ_EVENT to be set. (Note that TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD exit handler do not set KVM_REQ_EVENT until apic_update_ppr() will notice a new injectable interrupt for PPR) To fix this issue, change update_cr8_intercept() such that if L2 lowers L1's TPR in a way that requires to lower L1's TPR-Threshold, save update to TPR-Threshold and apply it to vmcs01 when L0 emulates an exit from L2 to L1.

Intel SDM section 25.2 OTHER CAUSES OF VM EXITS specifies the following on INIT signals: "Such exits do not modify register state or clear pending events as they would outside of VMX operation." When commit 4b9852f4 ("KVM: x86: Fix INIT signal handling in various CPU states") was applied, I interepted above Intel SDM statement such that INIT_SIGNAL exit don’t consume the LAPIC INIT pending event. However, when Nadav Amit run matching kvm-unit-test on a bare-metal machine, it turned out my interpetation was wrong. i.e. INIT_SIGNAL exit does consume the LAPIC INIT pending event. (See: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg196757.html) Therefore, fix KVM code to behave as observed on bare-metal.

However, current API of KVM_SET_MP_STATE allows userspace to put vCPU into KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED or KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED even when vCPU is in VMX operation. Fix this by introducing a util method to check if vCPU state latch INIT signals and use it in KVM_SET_MP_STATE handler.

It's enough to check the exit value and issue a direct call to avoid the retpoline for all the common vmexit reasons. Of course CONFIG_RETPOLINE already forbids gcc to use indirect jumps while compiling all switch() statements, however switch() would still allow the compiler to bisect the case value. It's more efficient to prioritize the most frequent vmexits instead. The halt may be slow paths from the point of the guest, but not necessarily so from the point of the host if the host runs at full CPU capacity and no host CPU is ever left idle. Signed-off-by:

Commit 0bc48bea ("KVM: x86: update master clock before computing kvmclock_offset") switches the order of operations to avoid the conversion TSC (without frequency correction) -> system_timestamp (with frequency correction), which might cause a time jump. However, it leaves any other masterclock update unsafe, which includes, at the moment: * HV_X64_MSR_REFERENCE_TSC MSR write. * TSC writes. * Host suspend/resume. Avoid the time jump issue by using frequency uncorrected CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW clock. Its the guests time keeping software responsability to track and correct a reference clock such as UTC.

Add a new helper, kvm_put_kvm_no_destroy(), to handle putting a borrowed reference[*] to the VM when installing a new file descriptor fails. KVM expects the refcount to remain valid in this case, as the in-progress ioctl() has an explicit reference to the VM. The primary motiviation for the helper is to document that the 'kvm' pointer is still valid after putting the borrowed reference, e.g. to document that doing mutex(&kvm->lock) immediately after putting a ref to kvm isn't broken. [*] When exposing a new object to userspace via a file descriptor, e.g. a new vcpu, KVM grabs a reference to itself (the VM) prior to making the object visible to userspace to avoid prematurely freeing the VM in the scenario where userspace immediately closes file descriptor.
