Sean noticed that KVM_GET_CLOCK was checking kvm_arch.use_master_clock outside of the pvclock sync lock. This is problematic, as the clock value written to the user may or may not actually correspond to a stable TSC. Fix the race by populating the entire kvm_clock_data structure behind the pvclock_gtod_sync_lock. Suggested-by:

Updates to the kvmclock parameters needs to do a complicated dance of KVM_REQ_MCLOCK_INPROGRESS and KVM_REQ_CLOCK_UPDATE in addition to taking pvclock_gtod_sync_lock. Place that in two functions that can be called on all of master clock update, KVM_SET_CLOCK, and Hyper-V reenlightenment. Reviewed-by:

So far, the loop bodies already ensure the PTE is present before calling __shadow_walk_next(): Some loop bodies simply exit with a !PRESENT directly and some other loop bodies, i.e. FNAME(fetch) and __direct_map() do not currently guard their walks with is_shadow_present_pte, but only because they install present non-leaf SPTEs in the loop itself. But checking pte present in __shadow_walk_next() (which is called from shadow_walk_okay()) is more prudent; walking past a !PRESENT SPTE would lead to attempting to read a the next level SPTE from a garbage iter->shadow_addr. It also allows to remove the is_shadow_present_pte() checks from the loop bodies. Reviewed-by:

This was tested by booting a nested guest with TSC=1Ghz, observing the clocks, and doing about 100 cycles of migration. Note that qemu patch is needed to support migration because of a new MSR that needs to be placed in the migration state. The patch will be sent to the qemu mailing list soon. Signed-off-by:

Commit adc2a237 ("KVM: nSVM: improve SYSENTER emulation on AMD"), made init_vmcb set vmload/vmsave intercepts unconditionally, and relied on svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid to clear them when possible. However init_vmcb is also called when the vCPU is reset, and it is not followed by another call to svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid because the CPUID is already set. This mistake makes the VMSAVE/VMLOAD intercept to be set when it is not needed, and harms performance of the nested guest. Extract the relevant parts of svm_vcpu_after_set_cpuid so that they can be called again on reset. Fixes: adc2a237 ("KVM: nSVM: improve SYSENTER emulation on AMD") Signed-off-by:

All of the irqfds would to be updated when update the irq routing, it's too expensive if there're too many irqfds. However we can reduce the cost by avoid some unnecessary updates. For irqs of MSI type on X86, the update can be saved if the msi values are not change. The vfio migration could receives benefit from this optimi- zaiton. The test VM has 128 vcpus and 8 VF (with 65 vectors enabled), so the VM has more than 520 irqfds. We mesure the cost of the vfio_msix_enable (in QEMU, it would set routing for each irqfd) for each VF, and we can see the total cost can be significantly reduced.

After any shadow page modification, flushing tlb only on current VCPU is weird due to other VCPU's tlb might still be stale. In other words, if there is any mandatory tlb-flushing after shadow page modification, SET_SPTE_NEED_REMOTE_TLB_FLUSH or remote_flush should be set and the tlbs of all VCPUs should be flushed. There is not point to only flush current tlb except when the request is from vCPU's or pCPU's activities. If there was any bug that mandatory tlb-flushing is required and SET_SPTE_NEED_REMOTE_TLB_FLUSH/remote_flush is failed to set, this patch would expose the bug in a more destructive way. The related code paths are checked and no missing SET_SPTE_NEED_REMOTE_TLB_FLUSH is found yet. Currently, there is no optional tlb-flushing after sync page related code is changed to flush tlb timely. So we can just remove these local flushing code. Signed-off-by:

Make a final call to direct_pte_prefetch_many() if there are "trailing" SPTEs to prefetch, i.e. SPTEs for GFNs following the faulting GFN. The call to direct_pte_prefetch_many() in the loop only handles the case where there are !PRESENT SPTEs preceding a PRESENT SPTE. E.g. if the faulting GFN is a multiple of 8 (the prefetch size) and all SPTEs for the following GFNs are !PRESENT, the loop will terminate with "start = sptep+1" and not prefetch any SPTEs. Prefetching trailing SPTEs as intended can drastically reduce the number of guest page faults, e.g. accessing the first byte of every 4kb page in a 6gb chunk of virtual memory, in a VM with 8gb of preallocated memory, the number of pf_fixed events observed in L0 drops from ~1.75M to <0.27M. Note, this only affects memory that is backed by 4kb pages as KVM doesn't prefetch when installing hugepages. Shadow paging prefetching is not affected as it does not batch the prefetches due to the need to process the corresponding guest PTE. The TDP MMU is not affected because it doesn't have prefetching, yet...

Manually look for a CPUID.0x1 entry instead of bouncing through kvm_cpuid() when retrieving the Family-Model-Stepping information for vCPU RESET/INIT. This fixes a potential undefined behavior bug due to kvm_cpuid() using the uninitialized "dummy" param as the ECX _input_, a.k.a. the index. A more minimal fix would be to simply zero "dummy", but the extra work in kvm_cpuid() is wasteful, and KVM should be treating the FMS retrieval as an out-of-band access, e.g. same as how KVM computes guest.MAXPHYADDR. Both Intel's SDM and AMD's APM describe the RDX value at RESET/INIT as holding the CPU's FMS information, not as holding CPUID.0x1.EAX. KVM's usage of CPUID entries to get FMS is simply a pragmatic approach to avoid having yet another way for userspace to provide inconsistent data. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by:

WARN if CR0, CR3, or CR4 are non-zero at RESET, which given the current KVM implementation, really means WARN if they're not zeroed at vCPU creation. VMX in particular has several ->set_*() flows that read other registers to handle side effects, and because those flows are common to RESET and INIT, KVM subtly relies on emulated/virtualized registers to be zeroed at vCPU creation in order to do the right thing at RESET. Use CRs as a sentinel because they are most likely to be written as side effects, and because KVM specifically needs CR0.PG and CR0.PE to be '0' to correctly reflect the state of the vCPU's MMU. CRs are also loaded and stored from/to the VMCS, and so adds some level of coverage to verify that KVM doesn't conflate zero-allocating the VMCS with properly initializing the VMCS with VMWRITEs. Note, '0' is somewhat arbitrary, vCPU creation can technically stuff any value for a register so long as it's coherent with respect to the current vCPU state. In practice, '0' works for all registers and is convenient. Suggested-by:

Move RESET emulation for SVM vCPUs to svm_vcpu_reset(), and drop an extra init_vmcb() from svm_create_vcpu() in the process. Hopefully KVM will someday expose a dedicated RESET ioctl(), and in the meantime separating "create" from "RESET" is a nice cleanup. Keep the call to svm_switch_vmcb() so that misuse of svm->vmcb at worst breaks the guest, e.g. premature accesses doesn't cause a NULL pointer dereference.

Move vCPU RESET emulation, including initializating of select VMCS state, to vmx_vcpu_reset(). Drop the open coded "vCPU load" sequence, as ->vcpu_reset() is invoked while the vCPU is properly loaded (which is kind of the point of ->vcpu_reset()...). Hopefully KVM will someday expose a dedicated RESET ioctl(), and in the meantime separating "create" from "RESET" is a nice cleanup. Deferring VMCS initialization is effectively a nop as it's impossible to safely access the VMCS between the current call site and its new home, as both the vCPU and the pCPU are put immediately after init_vmcs(), i.e. the VMCS isn't guaranteed to be loaded. Note, task preemption is not a problem as vmx_sched_in() _can't_ touch the VMCS as ->sched_in() is invoked before the vCPU, and thus VMCS, is reloaded. I.e. the preemption path also can't consume VMCS state. Cc: Reiji Watanabe <reijiw@google.com> Signed-off-by:

Don't zero out user return and nested MSRs during vCPU creation, and instead rely on vcpu_vmx being zero-allocated. Explicitly zeroing MSRs is not wrong, and is in fact necessary if KVM ever emulates vCPU RESET outside of vCPU creation, but zeroing only a subset of MSRs is confusing. Poking directly into KVM's backing is also undesirable in that it doesn't scale and is error prone. Ideally KVM would have a common RESET path for all MSRs, e.g. by expanding kvm_set_msr(), which would obviate the need for this out-of-bad code (to support standalone RESET).

Move the few bits of relevant fx_init() code into kvm_arch_vcpu_create(), dropping the superfluous check on vcpu->arch.guest_fpu that was blindly and wrongly added by commit ed02b213 ("KVM: SVM: Guest FPU state save/restore not needed for SEV-ES guest"). Note, KVM currently allocates and then frees FPU state for SEV-ES guests, rather than avoid the allocation in the first place. While that approach is inarguably inefficient and unnecessary, it's a cleanup for the future. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by:

Drop code to initialize XCR0 during fx_init(), a.k.a. vCPU creation, as XCR0 has been initialized during kvm_vcpu_reset() (for RESET) since commit a554d207 ("KVM: X86: Processor States following Reset or INIT"). Back when XCR0 support was added by commit 2acf923e ("KVM: VMX: Enable XSAVE/XRSTOR for guest"), KVM didn't differentiate between RESET and INIT. Ignoring the fact that calling fx_init() for INIT is obviously wrong, e.g. FPU state after INIT is not the same as after RESET, setting XCR0 in fx_init() was correct. Eventually fx_init() got moved to kvm_arch_vcpu_init(), a.k.a. vCPU creation (ignore the terrible name) by commit 0ee6a517 ("x86/fpu, kvm: Simplify fx_init()"). Finally, commit 95a0d01e ("KVM: x86: Move all vcpu init code into kvm_arch_vcpu_create()") killed off kvm_arch_vcpu_init(), leaving behind the oddity of redundant setting of guest state during vCPU creation.

Drop code to set CR0.ET for the guest during initialization of the guest FPU. The code was added as a misguided bug fix by commit 380102c8 ("KVM Set the ET flag in CR0 after initializing FX") to resolve an issue where vcpu->cr0 (now vcpu->arch.cr0) was not correctly initialized on SVM systems. While init_vmcb() did set CR0.ET, it only did so in the VMCB, and subtly did not update vcpu->cr0. Stuffing CR0.ET worked around the immediate problem, but did not fix the real bug of vcpu->cr0 and the VMCB being out of sync. That underlying bug was eventually remedied by commit 18fa000a ("KVM: SVM: Reset cr0 properly on vcpu reset"). No functional change intended. Signed-off-by:

Do not blindly mark all registers as available+dirty at RESET/INIT, and instead rely on writes to registers to go through the proper mutators or to explicitly mark registers as dirty. INIT in particular does not blindly overwrite all registers, e.g. select bits in CR0 are preserved across INIT, thus marking registers available+dirty without first reading the register from hardware is incorrect. In practice this is a benign bug as KVM doesn't let the guest control CR0 bits that are preserved across INIT, and all other true registers are explicitly written during the RESET/INIT flows. The PDPTRs and EX_INFO "registers" are not explicitly written, but accessing those values during RESET/INIT is nonsensical and would be a KVM bug regardless of register caching.

Replace impressively complex "logic" for computing the page offset from CR3 when loading PDPTRs. Unlike other paging modes, the address held in CR3 for PAE paging is 32-byte aligned, i.e. occupies bits 31:5, thus bits 11:5 need to be used as the offset from the gfn when reading PDPTRs. The existing calculation originated in commit 1342d353 ("[PATCH] KVM: MMU: Load the pae pdptrs on cr3 change like the processor does"), which read the PDPTRs from guest memory as individual 8-byte loads. At the time, the so called "offset" was the base index of PDPTR0 as a _u64_, not a byte offset. Naming aside, the computation was useful and arguably simplified the overall flow. Unfortunately, when commit 195aefde ("KVM: Add general accessors to read and write guest memory") added accessors with offsets at byte granularity, the cleverness of the original code was lost and KVM was left with convoluted code for a simple operation.

kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() already disables preemption so just like kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() it can be switched to using pre-allocated per-cpu cpumasks. This allows for improvements for both users of the function: in Hyper-V emulation code 'tlb_flush' can now be dropped from 'struct kvm_vcpu_hv' and kvm_make_scan_ioapic_request_mask() gets rid of dynamic allocation. cpumask_available() checks in kvm_make_vcpu_request() and kvm_kick_many_cpus() can now be dropped as they checks for an impossible condition: kvm_init() makes sure per-cpu masks are allocated.
