Replace the perf_test_ prefix on symbol names with memstress_ to match the new file name. "memstress" better describes the functionality proveded by this library, which is to provide functionality for creating and running a VM that stresses VM memory by reading and writing to guest memory on all vCPUs in parallel. "memstress" also contains the same number of chracters as "perf_test", making it a drop-in replacement in symbols, e.g. function names, without impacting line lengths. Also the lack of underscore between "mem" and "stress" makes it clear "memstress" is a noun. Signed-off-by:

Create the ability to randomize page access order with the -a argument. This includes the possibility that the same pages may be hit multiple times during an iteration or not at all. Population has random access as false to ensure all pages will be touched by population and avoid page faults in late dirty memory that would pollute the test results. Signed-off-by:

Randomize which pages are written vs read using the random number generator. Change the variable wr_fract and associated function calls to write_percent that now operates as a percentage from 0 to 100 where X means each page has an X% chance of being written. Change the -f argument to -w to reflect the new variable semantics. Keep the same default of 100% writes. Population always uses 100% writes to ensure all memory is actually populated and not just mapped to the zero page. The prevents expensive copy-on-write faults from occurring during the dirty memory iterations below, which would pollute the performance results. Each vCPU calculates its own random seed by adding its index to the seed provided. Signed-off-by:

Add a command line option, -c, to pin vCPUs to physical CPUs (pCPUs), i.e. to force vCPUs to run on specific pCPUs. Requirement to implement this feature came in discussion on the patch "Make page tables for eager page splitting NUMA aware" https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YuhPT2drgqL+osLl@google.com/ This feature is useful as it provides a way to analyze performance based on the vCPUs and dirty log worker locations, like on the different NUMA nodes or on the same NUMA nodes. To keep things simple, implementation is intentionally very limited, either all of the vCPUs will be pinned followed by an optional main thread or nothing will be pinned. Signed-off-by:

virt/kvm/irqchip.c is including "irq.h" from the arch-specific KVM source directory (i.e. not from arch/*/include) for the sole purpose of retrieving irqchip_in_kernel. Making the function inline in a header that is already included, such as asm/kvm_host.h, is not possible because it needs to look at struct kvm which is defined after asm/kvm_host.h is included. So add a kvm_arch_irqchip_in_kernel non-inline function; irqchip_in_kernel() is only performance critical on arm64 and x86, and the non-inline function is enough on all other architectures. irq.h can then be deleted from all architectures except x86.

Batch reprogramming PMU counters by setting KVM_REQ_PMU and thus deferring reprogramming kvm_pmu_handle_event() to avoid reprogramming a counter multiple times during a single VM-Exit. Deferring programming will also allow KVM to fix a bug where immediately reprogramming a counter can result in sleeping (taking a mutex) while interrupts are disabled in the VM-Exit fastpath. Introduce kvm_pmu_request_counter_reprogam() to make it obvious that KVM is _requesting_ a reprogram and not actually doing the reprogram.

When reprogramming a counter, clear the counter's "reprogram pending" bit if the counter is disabled (by the guest) or is disallowed (by the userspace filter). In both cases, there's no need to re-attempt programming on the next coincident KVM_REQ_PMU as enabling the counter by either method will trigger reprogramming. Signed-off-by:

Force vCPUs to reprogram all counters on a PMU filter change to provide a sane ABI for userspace. Use the existing KVM_REQ_PMU to do the programming, and take advantage of the fact that the reprogram_pmi bitmap fits in a u64 to set all bits in a single atomic update. Note, setting the bitmap and making the request needs to be done _after_ the SRCU synchronization to ensure that vCPUs will reprogram using the new filter. KVM's current "lazy" approach is confusing and non-deterministic. It's confusing because, from a developer perspective, the code is buggy as it makes zero sense to let userspace modify the filter but then not actually enforce the new filter. The lazy approach is non-deterministic because KVM enforces the filter whenever a counter is reprogrammed, not just on guest WRMSRs, i.e. a guest might gain/lose access to an event at random times depending on what is going on in the host. Note, the resulting behavior is still non-determinstic while the filter is in flux. If userspace wants to guarantee deterministic behavior, all vCPUs should be paused during the filter update.

Extend the accounting sanity check in kvm_recover_nx_huge_pages() to the TDP MMU, i.e. verify that zapping a shadow page unaccounts the disallowed NX huge page regardless of the MMU type. Recovery runs while holding mmu_lock for write and so it should be impossible to get false positives on the WARN. Suggested-by:

Explicitly check if a NX huge page is disallowed when determining if a page fault needs to be forced to use a smaller sized page. KVM currently assumes that the NX huge page mitigation is the only scenario where KVM will force a shadow page instead of a huge page, and so unnecessarily keeps an existing shadow page instead of replacing it with a huge page. Any scenario that causes KVM to zap leaf SPTEs may result in having a SP that can be made huge without violating the NX huge page mitigation. E.g. prior to commit 5ba7c4c6 ("KVM: x86/MMU: Zap non-leaf SPTEs when disabling dirty logging"), KVM would keep shadow pages after disabling dirty logging due to a live migration being canceled, resulting in degraded performance due to running with 4kb pages instead of huge pages. Although the dirty logging case is "fixed", that fix is coincidental, i.e. is an implementation detail, and there are other scenarios where KVM will zap leaf SPTEs. E.g. zapping leaf SPTEs in response to a host page migration (mmu_notifier invalidation) to create a huge page would yield a similar result; KVM would see the shadow-present non-leaf SPTE and assume a huge page is disallowed.

Track the number of TDP MMU "shadow" pages instead of tracking the pages themselves. With the NX huge page list manipulation moved out of the common linking flow, elminating the list-based tracking means the happy path of adding a shadow page doesn't need to acquire a spinlock and can instead inc/dec an atomic. Keep the tracking as the WARN during TDP MMU teardown on leaked shadow pages is very, very useful for detecting KVM bugs. Tracking the number of pages will also make it trivial to expose the counter to userspace as a stat in the future, which may or may not be desirable. Note, the TDP MMU needs to use a separate counter (and stat if that ever comes to be) from the existing n_used_mmu_pages. The TDP MMU doesn't bother supporting the shrinker nor does it honor KVM_SET_NR_MMU_PAGES (because the TDP MMU consumes so few pages relative to shadow paging), and including TDP MMU pages in that counter would break both the shrinker and shadow MMUs, e.g. if a VM is using nested TDP.

Set nx_huge_page_disallowed in TDP MMU shadow pages before making the SP visible to other readers, i.e. before setting its SPTE. This will allow KVM to query the flag when determining if a shadow page can be replaced by a NX huge page without violating the rules of the mitigation. Note, the shadow/legacy MMU holds mmu_lock for write, so it's impossible for another CPU to see a shadow page without an up-to-date nx_huge_page_disallowed, i.e. only the TDP MMU needs the complicated dance.

Account and track NX huge pages for nonpaging MMUs so that a future enhancement to precisely check if a shadow page can't be replaced by a NX huge page doesn't get false positives. Without correct tracking, KVM can get stuck in a loop if an instruction is fetching and writing data on the same huge page, e.g. KVM installs a small executable page on the fetch fault, replaces it with an NX huge page on the write fault, and faults again on the fetch. Alternatively, and perhaps ideally, KVM would simply not enforce the workaround for nonpaging MMUs. The guest has no page tables to abuse and KVM is guaranteed to switch to a different MMU on CR0.PG being toggled so there's no security or performance concerns. However, getting make_spte() to play nice now and in the future is unnecessarily complex. In the current code base, make_spte() can enforce the mitigation if TDP is enabled or the MMU is indirect, but make_spte() may not always have a vCPU/MMU to work with, e.g. if KVM were to support in-line huge page promotion when disabling dirty logging. Without a vCPU/MMU, KVM could either pass in the correct information and/or derive it from the shadow page, but the former is ugly and the latter subtly non-trivial due to the possibility of direct shadow pages in indirect MMUs. Given that using shadow paging with an unpaged guest is far from top priority _and_ has been subjected to the workaround since its inception, keep it simple and just fix the accounting glitch.

Rename most of the variables/functions involved in the NX huge page mitigation to provide consistency, e.g. lpage vs huge page, and NX huge vs huge NX, and also to provide clarity, e.g. to make it obvious the flag applies only to the NX huge page mitigation, not to any condition that prevents creating a huge page. Add a comment explaining what the newly named "possible_nx_huge_pages" tracks. Leave the nx_lpage_splits stat alone as the name is ABI and thus set in stone. Signed-off-by:

Tag shadow pages that cannot be replaced with an NX huge page regardless of whether or not zapping the page would allow KVM to immediately create a huge page, e.g. because something else prevents creating a huge page. I.e. track pages that are disallowed from being NX huge pages regardless of whether or not the page could have been huge at the time of fault. KVM currently tracks pages that were disallowed from being huge due to the NX workaround if and only if the page could otherwise be huge. But that fails to handled the scenario where whatever restriction prevented KVM from installing a huge page goes away, e.g. if dirty logging is disabled, the host mapping level changes, etc... Failure to tag shadow pages appropriately could theoretically lead to false negatives, e.g. if a fetch fault requests a small page and thus isn't tracked, and a read/write fault later requests a huge page, KVM will not reject the huge page as it should. To avoid yet another flag, initialize the list_head and use list_empty() to determine whether or not a page is on the list of NX huge pages that should be recovered. Note, the TDP MMU accounting is still flawed as fixing the TDP MMU is more involved due to mmu_lock being held for read. This will be addressed in a future commit.

Protect the kernel from using the flag KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_ALLOW. Its value is 0, and using it incorrectly could have unintended consequences. E.g. prevent someone in the kernel from writing something like this. if (filter.flags & KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_ALLOW) <allow the MSR> and getting confused when it doesn't work. It would be more ideal to remove this flag altogether, but userspace may already be using it, so protecting the kernel is all that can reasonably be done at this point. Suggested-by: -

We have had FAULT_FLAG_INTERRUPTIBLE but it was never applied to GUPs. One issue with it is that not all GUP paths are able to handle signal delivers besides SIGKILL. That's not ideal for the GUP users who are actually able to handle these cases, like KVM. KVM uses GUP extensively on faulting guest pages, during which we've got existing infrastructures to retry a page fault at a later time. Allowing the GUP to be interrupted by generic signals can make KVM related threads to be more responsive. For examples: (1) SIGUSR1: which QEMU/KVM uses to deliver an inter-process IPI, e.g. when the admin issues a vm_stop QMP command, SIGUSR1 can be generated to kick the vcpus out of kernel context immediately, (2) SIGINT: which can be used with interactive hypervisor users to stop a virtual machine with Ctrl-C without any delays/hangs, (3) SIGTRAP: which grants GDB capability even during page faults that are stuck for a long time. Normally hypervisor will be able to receive these signals properly, but not if we're stuck in a GUP for a long time for whatever reason. It happens easily with a stucked postcopy migration when e.g. a network temp failure happens, then some vcpu threads can hang death waiting for the pages. With the new FOLL_INTERRUPTIBLE, we can allow GUP users like KVM to selectively enable the ability to trap these signals. Reviewed-by:John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by:

When #SMI is asserted, the CPU can be in interrupt shadow due to sti or mov ss. It is not mandatory in Intel/AMD prm to have the #SMI blocked during the shadow, and on top of that, since neither SVM nor VMX has true support for SMI window, waiting for one instruction would mean single stepping the guest. Instead, allow #SMI in this case, but both reset the interrupt window and stash its value in SMRAM to restore it on exit from SMM. This fixes rare failures seen mostly on windows guests on VMX, when #SMI falls on the sti instruction which mainfest in VM entry failure due to EFLAGS.IF not being set, but STI interrupt window still being set in the VMCS.
