Enable PV TLB shootdown when !CONFIG_SMP doesn't make sense. Let's move it inside CONFIG_SMP. In addition, we can avoid define and alloc __pv_cpu_mask when !CONFIG_SMP and get rid of 'alloc' variable in kvm_alloc_cpumask. Signed-off-by:

To avoid saddling a vCPU thread with the work of tearing down an entire paging structure, take a reference on each root before they become obsolete, so that the thread initiating the fast invalidation can tear down the paging structure and (most likely) release the last reference. As a bonus, this teardown can happen under the MMU lock in read mode so as not to block the progress of vCPU threads. Signed-off-by:

Provide a real mechanism for fast invalidation by marking roots as invalid so that their reference count will quickly fall to zero and they will be torn down. One negative side affect of this approach is that a vCPU thread will likely drop the last reference to a root and be saddled with the work of tearing down an entire paging structure. This issue will be resolved in a later commit. Signed-off-by:

To reduce the impact of disabling dirty logging, change the TDP MMU function which zaps collapsible SPTEs to run under the MMU read lock. This way, page faults on zapped SPTEs can proceed in parallel with kvm_mmu_zap_collapsible_sptes. Signed-off-by:

To reduce dependence on the MMU write lock, don't rely on the assumption that the atomic operation in kvm_tdp_mmu_get_root will always succeed. By not relying on that assumption, threads do not need to hold the MMU lock in write mode in order to take a reference on a TDP MMU root. In the root iterator, this change means that some roots might have to be skipped if they are found to have a zero refcount. This will still never happen as of this patch, but a future patch will need that flexibility to make the root iterator safe under the MMU read lock. Signed-off-by:

In order to parallelize more operations for the TDP MMU, make the refcount on TDP MMU roots atomic, so that a future patch can allow multiple threads to take a reference on the root concurrently, while holding the MMU lock in read mode. Signed-off-by:

Refactor the yield safe TDP MMU root iterator to be more amenable to changes in future commits which will allow it to be used under the MMU lock in read mode. Currently the iterator requires a complicated dance between the helper functions and different parts of the for loop which makes it hard to reason about. Moving all the logic into a single function simplifies the iterator substantially. Signed-off-by:

Let the TDP MMU yield when unmapping a range in response to a MMU notification, if yielding is allowed by said notification. There is no reason to disallow yielding in this case, and in theory the range being invalidated could be quite large. Cc: Ben Gardon <bgardon@google.com> Signed-off-by:

Defer acquiring mmu_lock in the MMU notifier paths until a "hit" has been detected in the memslots, i.e. don't take the lock for notifications that don't affect the guest. For small VMs, spurious locking is a minor annoyance. And for "volatile" setups where the majority of notifications _are_ relevant, this barely qualifies as an optimization. But, for large VMs (hundreds of threads) with static setups, e.g. no page migration, no swapping, etc..., the vast majority of MMU notifier callbacks will be unrelated to the guest, e.g. will often be in response to the userspace VMM adjusting its own virtual address space. In such large VMs, acquiring mmu_lock can be painful as it blocks vCPUs from handling page faults. In some scenarios it can even be "fatal" in the sense that it causes unacceptable brownouts, e.g. when rebuilding huge pages after live migration, a significant percentage of vCPUs will be attempting to handle page faults. x86's TDP MMU implementation is especially susceptible to spurious locking due it taking mmu_lock for read when handling page faults. Because rwlock is fair, a single writer will stall future readers, while the writer is itself stalled waiting for in-progress readers to complete. This is exacerbated by the MMU notifiers often firing multiple times in quick succession, e.g. moving a page will (always?) invoke three separate notifiers: .invalidate_range_start(), invalidate_range_end(), and .change_pte(). Unnecessarily taking mmu_lock each time means even a single spurious sequence can be problematic. Note, this optimizes only the unpaired callbacks. Optimizing the .invalidate_range_{start,end}() pairs is more complex and will be done in a future patch. Suggested-by: -

Acquire and release mmu_lock in the __kvm_handle_hva_range() helper instead of requiring the caller to do the same. This paves the way for future patches to take mmu_lock if and only if an overlapping memslot is found, without also having to introduce the on_lock() shenanigans used to manipulate the notifier count and sequence.

Sean Christopherson authored
Move the hva->gfn lookup for MMU notifiers into common code. Every arch does a similar lookup, and some arch code is all but identical across multiple architectures. In addition to consolidating code, this will allow introducing optimizations that will benefit all architectures without incurring multiple walks of the memslots, e.g. by taking mmu_lock if and only if a relevant range exists in the memslots. The use of __always_inline to avoid indirect call retpolines, as done by x86, may also benefit other architectures. Consolidating the lookups also fixes a wart in x86, where the legacy MMU and TDP MMU each do their own memslot walks. Lastly, future enhancements to the memslot implementation, e.g. to add an interval tree to track host address, will need to touch far less arch specific code. MIPS, PPC, and arm64 will be converted one at a time in future patches. Signed-off-by:

In KVM's .change_pte() notification callback, replace the notifier sequence bump with a WARN_ON assertion that the notifier count is elevated. An elevated count provides stricter protections than bumping the sequence, and the sequence is guarnateed to be bumped before the count hits zero. When .change_pte() was added by commit 828502d3 ("ksm: add mmu_notifier set_pte_at_notify()"), bumping the sequence was necessary as .change_pte() would be invoked without any surrounding notifications. However, since commit 6bdb913f ("mm: wrap calls to set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end"), all calls to .change_pte() are guaranteed to be surrounded by start() and end(), and so are guaranteed to run with an elevated notifier count. Note, wrapping .change_pte() with .invalidate_range_{start,end}() is a bug of sorts, as invalidating the secondary MMU's (KVM's) PTE defeats the purpose of .change_pte(). Every arch's kvm_set_spte_hva() assumes .change_pte() is called when the relevant SPTE is present in KVM's MMU, as the original goal was to accelerate Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM) by updating KVM's SPTEs without requiring a VM-Exit (due to invalidating the SPTE). I.e. it means that .change_pte() is effectively dead code on _all_ architectures. x86 and MIPS are clearcut nops if the old SPTE is not-present, and that is guaranteed due to the prior invalidation. PPC simply unmaps the SPTE, which again should be a nop due to the invalidation. arm64 is a bit murky, but it's also likely a nop because kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() is called without a cache pointer, which means it will map an entry if and only if an existing PTE was found. For now, take advantage of the bug to simplify future consolidation of KVMs's MMU notifier code. Doing so will not greatly complicate fixing .change_pte(), assuming it's even worth fixing. .change_pte() has been broken for 8+ years and no one has complained. Even if there are KSM+KVM users that care deeply about its performance, the benefits of avoiding VM-Exits via .change_pte() need to be reevaluated to justify the added complexity and testing burden. Ripping out .change_pte() entirely would be a lot easier. Signed-off-by:

Since all calls to kvm_flush_remote_tlbs must be preceded by kvm_mips_callbacks->prepare_flush_shadow, repurpose kvm_arch_flush_remote_tlb to invoke it. This makes it possible to use the TLB flushing mechanism provided by the generic MMU notifier code. Signed-off-by: -
Paolo Bonzini authored
Both trap-and-emulate and VZ have a single implementation that covers both .flush_shadow_all and .flush_shadow_memslot, and both of them end with a call to kvm_flush_remote_tlbs. Unify the callbacks into one and extract the call to kvm_flush_remote_tlbs. The next patches will pull it further out of the the architecture-specific MMU notifier functions kvm_unmap_hva_range and kvm_set_spte_hva. Signed-off-by: -

Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT when allocating vCPUs to make it more obvious that that the allocations are accounted, to make it easier to audit KVM's allocations in the future, and to be consistent with other cache usage in KVM. When using SLAB/SLUB, this is a nop as the cache itself is created with SLAB_ACCOUNT. When using SLOB, there are caveats within caveats. SLOB doesn't honor SLAB_ACCOUNT, so passing GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT will result in vCPU allocations now being accounted. But, even that depends on internal SLOB details as SLOB will only go to the page allocator when its cache is depleted. That just happens to be extremely likely for vCPUs because the size of kvm_vcpu is larger than the a page for almost all combinations of architecture and page size. Whether or not the SLOB behavior is by design is unknown; it's just as likely that no SLOB users care about accounding and so no one has bothered to implemented support in SLOB. Regardless, accounting vCPU allocations will not break SLOB+KVM+cgroup users, if any exist. Reviewed-by:

When using manual protection of dirty pages, it is not necessary to protect nested page tables down to the 4K level; instead KVM can protect only hugepages in order to split them lazily, and delay write protection at 4K-granularity until KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG. This was overlooked in the TDP MMU, so do it there as well. Fixes: a6a0b05d ("kvm: x86/mmu: Support dirty logging for the TDP MMU") Cc: Ben Gardon <bgardon@google.com> Reviewed-by:

Injected interrupts/nmi should not block a pending exception, but rather be either lost if nested hypervisor doesn't intercept the pending exception (as in stock x86), or be delivered in exitintinfo/IDT_VECTORING_INFO field, as a part of a VMexit that corresponds to the pending exception. The only reason for an exception to be blocked is when nested run is pending (and that can't really happen currently but still worth checking for). Signed-off-by:

While KVM's MMU should be fully reset by loading of nested CR0/CR3/CR4 by KVM_SET_SREGS, we are not in nested mode yet when we do it and therefore only root_mmu is reset. On regular nested entries we call nested_svm_load_cr3 which both updates the guest's CR3 in the MMU when it is needed, and it also initializes the mmu again which makes it initialize the walk_mmu as well when nested paging is enabled in both host and guest. Since we don't call nested_svm_load_cr3 on nested state load, the walk_mmu can be left uninitialized, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference while accessing it if we happen to get a nested page fault right after entering the nested guest first time after the migration and we decide to emulate it, which leads to the emulator trying to access walk_mmu->gva_to_gpa which is NULL. Therefore we should call this function on nested state load as well. Suggested-by:
