Xen usually places its MSR at 0x40000000 or 0x40000200 depending on whether it is running in viridian mode or not. Note that this is not ABI guaranteed, so it is possible for Xen to advertise the MSR some place else. Given the way xen_hvm_config() is handled, if the former address is selected, this will conflict with Hyper-V's MSR (HV_X64_MSR_GUEST_OS_ID) which unconditionally uses the same address. Given that the MSR location is arbitrary, move the xen_hvm_config() handling to the top of kvm_set_msr_common() before falling through. Signed-off-by:

When clearing TDP MMU pages what have been disconnected from the paging structure root, set the SPTEs to a special non-present value which will not be overwritten by other threads. This is needed to prevent races in which a thread is clearing a disconnected page table, but another thread has already acquired a pointer to that memory and installs a mapping in an already cleared entry. This can lead to memory leaks and accounting errors. Reviewed-by:

When the TDP MMU is allowed to handle page faults in parallel there is the possiblity of a race where an SPTE is cleared and then imediately replaced with a present SPTE pointing to a different PFN, before the TLBs can be flushed. This race would violate architectural specs. Ensure that the TLBs are flushed properly before other threads are allowed to install any present value for the SPTE. Reviewed-by:

To prepare for handling page faults in parallel, change the TDP MMU page fault handler to use atomic operations to set SPTEs so that changes are not lost if multiple threads attempt to modify the same SPTE. Reviewed-by:

In order to enable concurrent modifications to the paging structures in the TDP MMU, threads must be able to safely remove pages of page table memory while other threads are traversing the same memory. To ensure threads do not access PT memory after it is freed, protect PT memory with RCU. Protecting concurrent accesses to page table memory from use-after-free bugs could also have been acomplished using walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end() and READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES, coupling with the barriers in a TLB flush. The use of RCU for this case has several distinct advantages over that approach. 1. Disabling interrupts for long running operations is not desirable. Future commits will allow operations besides page faults to operate without the exclusive protection of the MMU lock and those operations are too long to disable iterrupts for their duration. 2. The use of RCU here avoids long blocking / spinning operations in perfromance critical paths. By freeing memory with an asynchronous RCU API we avoid the longer wait times TLB flushes experience when overlapping with a thread in walk_shadow_page_lockless_begin/end(). 3. RCU provides a separation of concerns when removing memory from the paging structure. Because the RCU callback to free memory can be scheduled immediately after a TLB flush, there's no need for the thread to manually free a queue of pages later, as commit_zap_pages does.

In clear_dirty_pt_masked, the loop is intended to exit early after processing each of the GFNs with corresponding bits set in mask. This does not work as intended if another thread has already cleared the dirty bit or writable bit on the SPTE. In that case, the loop would proceed to the next iteration early and the bit in mask would not be cleared. As a result the loop could not exit early and would proceed uselessly. Move the unsetting of the mask bit before the check for a no-op SPTE change. Fixes: a6a0b05d ("kvm: x86/mmu: Support dirty logging for the TDP MMU") Suggested-by:

Given certain conditions, some TDP MMU functions may not yield reliably / frequently enough. For example, if a paging structure was very large but had few, if any writable entries, wrprot_gfn_range could traverse many entries before finding a writable entry and yielding because the check for yielding only happens after an SPTE is modified. Fix this issue by moving the yield to the beginning of the loop. Fixes: a6a0b05d ("kvm: x86/mmu: Support dirty logging for the TDP MMU") Reviewed-by:

In some functions the TDP iter risks not making forward progress if two threads livelock yielding to one another. This is possible if two threads are trying to execute wrprot_gfn_range. Each could write protect an entry and then yield. This would reset the tdp_iter's walk over the paging structure and the loop would end up repeating the same entry over and over, preventing either thread from making forward progress. Fix this issue by only yielding if the loop has made forward progress since the last yield. Fixes: a6a0b05d ("kvm: x86/mmu: Support dirty logging for the TDP MMU") Reviewed-by:

Currently the TDP MMU yield / cond_resched functions either return nothing or return true if the TLBs were not flushed. These are confusing semantics, especially when making control flow decisions in calling functions. To clean things up, change both functions to have the same return value semantics as cond_resched: true if the thread yielded, false if it did not. If the function yielded in the _flush_ version, then the TLBs will have been flushed. Reviewed-by:

Currently we save host state like user-visible host MSRs, and do some initial guest register setup for MSR_TSC_AUX and MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO in svm_vcpu_load(). Defer this until just before we enter the guest by moving the handling to kvm_x86_ops.prepare_guest_switch() similarly to how it is done for the VMX implementation. Additionally, since handling of saving/restoring host user MSRs is the same both with/without SEV-ES enabled, move that handling to common code. Suggested-by:

Using a guest workload which simply issues 'hlt' in a tight loop to generate VMEXITs, it was observed (on a recent EPYC processor) that a significant amount of the VMEXIT overhead measured on the host was the result of MSR reads/writes in svm_vcpu_load/svm_vcpu_put according to perf: 67.49%--kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run | |--23.13%--vcpu_put | kvm_arch_vcpu_put | | | |--21.31%--native_write_msr | | | --1.27%--svm_set_cr4 | |--16.11%--vcpu_load | | | --15.58%--kvm_arch_vcpu_load | | | |--13.97%--svm_set_cr4 | | | | | |--12.64%--native_read_msr Most of these MSRs relate to 'syscall'/'sysenter' and segment bases, and can be saved/restored using 'vmsave'/'vmload' instructions rather than explicit MSR reads/writes. In doing so there is a significant reduction in the svm_vcpu_load/svm_vcpu_put overhead measured for the above workload: 50.92%--kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run | |--19.28%--disable_nmi_singlestep | |--13.68%--vcpu_load | kvm_arch_vcpu_load | | | |--9.19%--svm_set_cr4 | | | | | --6.44%--native_read_msr | | | --3.55%--native_write_msr | |--6.05%--kvm_inject_nmi |--2.80%--kvm_sev_es_mmio_read |--2.19%--vcpu_put | | | --1.25%--kvm_arch_vcpu_put | native_write_msr Quantifying this further, if we look at the raw cycle counts for a normal iteration of the above workload (according to 'rdtscp'), kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() takes ~4600 cycles from start to finish with the current behavior. Using 'vmsave'/'vmload', this is reduced to ~2800 cycles, a savings of 39%. While this approach doesn't seem to manifest in any noticeable improvement for more realistic workloads like UnixBench, netperf, and kernel builds, likely due to their exit paths generally involving IO with comparatively high latencies, it does improve overall overhead of KVM_RUN significantly, which may still be noticeable for certain situations. It also simplifies some aspects of the code. With this change, explicit save/restore is no longer needed for the following host MSRs, since they are documented[1] as being part of the VMCB State Save Area: MSR_STAR, MSR_LSTAR, MSR_CSTAR, MSR_SYSCALL_MASK, MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_CS, MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP, MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP, MSR_FS_BASE, MSR_GS_BASE and only the following MSR needs individual handling in svm_vcpu_put/svm_vcpu_load: MSR_TSC_AUX We could drop the host_save_user_msrs array/loop and instead handle MSR read/write of MSR_TSC_AUX directly, but we leave that for now as a potential follow-up. Since 'vmsave'/'vmload' also handles the LDTR and FS/GS segment registers (and associated hidden state)[2], some of the code previously used to handle this is no longer needed, so we drop it as well. The first public release of the SVM spec[3] also documents the same handling for the host state in question, so we make these changes unconditionally. Also worth noting is that we 'vmsave' to the same page that is subsequently used by 'vmrun' to record some host additional state. This is okay, since, in accordance with the spec[2], the additional state written to the page by 'vmrun' does not overwrite any fields written by 'vmsave'. This has also been confirmed through testing (for the above CPU, at least).

Add svm_asm*() macros, a la the existing vmx_asm*() macros, to handle faults on SVM instructions instead of using the generic __ex(), a.k.a. __kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot(). Using asm goto generates slightly better code as it eliminates the in-line JMP+CALL sequences that are needed by __kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() to avoid triggering BUG() from fixup (which generates bad stack traces). Using SVM specific macros also drops the last user of __ex() and the the last asm linkage to kvm_spurious_fault(), and adds a helper for VMSAVE, which may gain an addition call site in the future (as part of optimizing the SVM context switching).

Drop kvm_cpu_vmxoff() in favor of the kernel's cpu_vmxoff(). Modify the latter to return -EIO on fault so that KVM can invoke kvm_spurious_fault() when appropriate. In addition to the obvious code reuse, dropping kvm_cpu_vmxoff() also eliminates VMX's last usage of the __ex()/__kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() macros, thus helping pave the way toward dropping them entirely.

Move the Intel PT tracking outside of the VMXON/VMXOFF helpers so that a future patch can drop KVM's kvm_cpu_vmxoff() in favor of the kernel's cpu_vmxoff() without an associated PT functional change, and without losing symmetry between the VMXON and VMXOFF flows. Barring undocumented behavior, this should have no meaningful effects as Intel PT behavior does not interact with CR4.VMXE. Signed-off-by:

Explicitly tell the compiler that VMXOFF modifies flags (like all VMX instructions), and mark memory as clobbered since VMXOFF must not be reordered and also may have memory side effects (though the kernel really shouldn't be accessing the root VMCS anyways). Practically speaking, adding the clobbers is most likely a nop; the primary motivation is to properly document VMXOFF's behavior. For the flags clobber, both Clang and GCC automatically mark flags as clobbered; this is noted in commit 4b1e5478 ("KVM/x86: Use assembly instruction mnemonics instead of .byte streams"), which intentionally removed the previous clobber. But, neither Clang nor GCC documents this behavior, and there's no downside to including the clobber. For the memory clobber, the RFLAGS.IF and CR4.VMXE manipulations that immediately follow VMXOFF have compiler barriers of their own, i.e. VMXOFF can't get reordered after clearing CR4.VMXE, which is really what's of interest.

Force all CPUs to do VMXOFF (via NMI shootdown) during an emergency reboot if VMX is _supported_, as VMX being off on the current CPU does not prevent other CPUs from being in VMX root (post-VMXON). This fixes a bug where a crash/panic reboot could leave other CPUs in VMX root and prevent them from being woken via INIT-SIPI-SIPI in the new kernel.

Sean Christopherson authored
Silently ignore all faults on VMXOFF in the reboot flows as such faults are all but guaranteed to be due to the CPU not being in VMX root. Because (a) VMXOFF may be executed in NMI context, e.g. after VMXOFF but before CR4.VMXE is cleared, (b) there's no way to query the CPU's VMX state without faulting, and (c) the whole point is to get out of VMX root, eating faults is the simplest way to achieve the desired behaior. Technically, VMXOFF can fault (or fail) for other reasons, but all other fault and failure scenarios are mode related, i.e. the kernel would have to magically end up in RM, V86, compat mode, at CPL>0, or running with the SMI Transfer Monitor active. The kernel is beyond hosed if any of those scenarios are encountered; trying to do something fancy in the error path to handle them cleanly is pointless.
