This patch introduces two new functions to set/clear the CPUSTAT_STOPPED bit and makes use of it at all applicable places. These functions prepare the additional execution of code when starting/stopping a vcpu. The CPUSTAT_STOPPED bit should not be touched outside of these functions. Signed-off-by:

The s390 architecture has a special protection mechanism that can be used to prevent write access to the vital data in the low-core memory area. This patch adds a new helper function that can be used to check for such write accesses and in case of protection, it also sets up the exception data accordingly. Signed-off-by:

When the guest executes the MVPG instruction with DAT disabled, and the source or destination page is not mapped in the host, the so-called partial execution interception occurs. We need to handle this event by setting up a mapping for the corresponding user pages. Signed-off-by:

Now we can flush all the TLBs out of the mmu lock without TLB corruption when write-proect the sptes, it is because: - we have marked large sptes readonly instead of dropping them that means we just change the spte from writable to readonly so that we only need to care the case of changing spte from present to present (changing the spte from present to nonpresent will flush all the TLBs immediately), in other words, the only case we need to care is mmu_spte_update() - in mmu_spte_update(), we haved checked SPTE_HOST_WRITEABLE | PTE_MMU_WRITEABLE instead of PT_WRITABLE_MASK, that means it does not depend on PT_WRITABLE_MASK anymore Acked-by:

Relax the tlb flush condition since we will write-protect the spte out of mmu lock. Note lockless write-protection only marks the writable spte to readonly and the spte can be writable only if both SPTE_HOST_WRITEABLE and SPTE_MMU_WRITEABLE are set (that are tested by spte_is_locklessly_modifiable) This patch is used to avoid this kind of race: VCPU 0 VCPU 1 lockless wirte protection: set spte.w = 0 lock mmu-lock write protection the spte to sync shadow page, see spte.w = 0, then without flush tlb unlock mmu-lock !!! At this point, the shadow page can still be writable due to the corrupt tlb entry Flush all TLB Reviewed-by: -

Currently, kvm zaps the large spte if write-protected is needed, the later read can fault on that spte. Actually, we can make the large spte readonly instead of making them un-present, the page fault caused by read access can be avoided The idea is from Avi: | As I mentioned before, write-protecting a large spte is a good idea, | since it moves some work from protect-time to fault-time, so it reduces | jitter. This removes the need for the return value. This version has fixed the issue reported in 6b73a960, the reason of that issue is that fast_page_fault() directly sets the readonly large spte to writable but only dirty the first page into the dirty-bitmap that means other pages are missed. Fixed it by only the normal sptes (on the PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL level) can be fast fixed Reviewed-by:

Xiao Guangrong authored
Using sp->role.level instead of @level since @level is not got from the page table hierarchy There is no issue in current code since the fast page fault currently only fixes the fault caused by dirty-log that is always on the last level (level = 1) This patch makes the code more readable and avoids potential issue in the further development Reviewed-by:

The IN instruction is not be affected by REP-prefix as INS is. Therefore, the emulation should ignore the REP prefix as well. The current emulator implementation tries to perform writeback when IN instruction with REP-prefix is emulated. This causes it to perform wrong memory write or spurious #GP exception to be injected to the guest. Signed-off-by:

If a guest enables a performance counter but does not enable PMI, the hypervisor currently does not reprogram the performance counter once it overflows. As a result the host performance counter is kept with the original sampling period which was configured according to the value of the guest's counter when the counter was enabled. Such behaviour can cause very bad consequences. The most distrubing one can cause the guest not to make any progress at all, and keep exiting due to host PMI before any guest instructions is exeucted. This situation occurs when the performance counter holds a very high value when the guest enables the performance counter. As a result the host's sampling period is configured to be very short. The host then never reconfigures the sampling period and get stuck at entry->PMI->exit loop. We encountered such a scenario in our experiments. The solution is to reprogram the counter even if the guest does not use PMI. Signed-off-by:

For single context invalidation, we fall through to global invalidation in handle_invept() except for one case - when the operand supplied by L1 is different from what we have in vmcs12. However, typically hypervisors will only call invept for the currently loaded eptp, so the condition will never be true. Signed-off-by:

Merge tag 'kvm-s390-20140422' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into queue Lazy storage key handling ------------------------- Linux does not use the ACC and F bits of the storage key. Newer Linux versions also do not use the storage keys for dirty and reference tracking. We can optimize the guest handling for those guests for faults as well as page-in and page-out by simply not caring about the guest visible storage key. We trap guest storage key instruction to enable those keys only on demand. Migration bitmap Until now s390 never provided a proper dirty bitmap. Let's provide a proper migration bitmap for s390. We also change the user dirty tracking to a fault based mechanism. This makes the host completely independent from the storage keys. Long term this will allow us to back guest memory with large pages. per-VM device attributes ------------------------ To avoid the introduction of new ioctls, let's provide the attribute semanantic also on the VM-"device". Userspace controlled CMMA ------------------------- The CMMA assist is changed from "always on" to "on if requested" via per-VM device attributes. In addition a callback to reset all usage states is provided. Proper guest DAT handling for intercepts ---------------------------------------- While instructions handled by SIE take care of all addressing aspects, KVM/s390 currently does not care about guest address translation of intercepts. This worked out fine, because - the s390 Linux kernel has a 1:1 mapping between kernel virtual<->real for all pages up to memory size - intercepts happen only for a small amount of cases - all of these intercepts happen to be in the kernel text for current distros Of course we need to be better for other intercepts, kernel modules etc. We provide the infrastructure and rework all in-kernel intercepts to work on logical addresses (paging etc) instead of real ones. The code has been running internally for several months now, so it is time for going public. GDB support ----------- We provide breakpoints, single stepping and watchpoints. Fixes/Cleanups -------------- - Improve program check delivery - Factor out the handling of transactional memory on program checks - Use the existing define __LC_PGM_TDB - Several cleanups in the lowcore structure - Documentation NOTES ----- - All patches touching base s390 are either ACKed or written by the s390 maintainers - One base KVM patch "KVM: add kvm_is_error_gpa() helper" - One patch introduces the notion of VM device attributes Signed-off-by:

When a guest is single-stepped, we want to disable timer interrupts. Otherwise, the guest will continuously execute the external interrupt handler and make debugging of code where timer interrupts are enabled almost impossible. The delivery of timer interrupts can be enforced in such sections by setting a breakpoint and continuing execution. In order to disable timer interrupts, they are disabled in the control register of the guest just before SIE entry and are suppressed in the interrupt check/delivery methods. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support to debug the guest using the PER facility on s390. Single-stepping, hardware breakpoints and hardware watchpoints are supported. In order to use the PER facility of the guest without it noticing it, the control registers of the guest have to be patched and access to them has to be intercepted(stctl, stctg, lctl, lctlg). All PER program interrupts have to be intercepted and only the relevant PER interrupts for the guest have to be given back. Special care has to be taken about repeated exits on the same hardware breakpoint. The intervention of the host in the guests PER configuration is not fully transparent. PER instruction nullification can not be used by the guest and too many storage alteration events may be reported to the guest (if it is activated for special address ranges only) when the host concurrently debugging it.

When a program interrupt was to be delivered until now, no program interrupt parameters were stored in the low-core of the target vcpu.
