In case of undercomitted scenarios, especially in large guests yield_to overhead is significantly high. when run queue length of source and target is one, take an opportunity to bail out and return -ESRCH. This return condition can be further exploited to quickly come out of PLE handler. (History: Raghavendra initially worked on break out of kvm ple handler upon seeing source runqueue length = 1, but it had to export rq length). Peter came up with the elegant idea of return -ESRCH in scheduler core. Signed-off-by:

Virtual interrupt delivery avoids KVM to inject vAPIC interrupts manually, which is fully taken care of by the hardware. This needs some special awareness into existing interrupr injection path: - for pending interrupt, instead of direct injection, we may need update architecture specific indicators before resuming to guest. - A pending interrupt, which is masked by ISR, should be also considered in above update action, since hardware will decide when to inject it at right time. Current has_interrupt and get_interrupt only returns a valid vector from injection p.o.v. Reviewed-by:

basically to benefit from apicv, we need to enable virtualized x2apic mode. Currently, we only enable it when guest is really using x2apic. Also, clear MSR bitmap for corresponding x2apic MSRs when guest enabled x2apic: 0x800 - 0x8ff: no read intercept for apicv register virtualization, except APIC ID and TMCCT which need software's assistance to get right value.

We've been ignoring read-only mappings and programming everything into the iommu as read-write. Fix this to only include the write access flag when read-only is not set. Signed-off-by:

Memory slot flags can be altered without changing other parameters of the slot. The read-only attribute is the only one the IOMMU cares about, so generate an un-map, re-map when this occurs. This also avoid unnecessarily re-mapping the slot when no IOMMU visible changes are made. Reviewed-by:

If emulate_invalid_guest_state=false vmx->emulation_required is never actually used, but it ends up to be always set to true since handle_invalid_guest_state(), the only place it is reset back to false, is never called. This, besides been not very clean, makes vmexit and vmentry path to check emulate_invalid_guest_state needlessly. The patch fixes that by keeping emulation_required coherent with emulate_invalid_guest_state setting. Signed-off-by:

Usability is returned in unusable field, so not need to clobber entire AR. Callers have to know how to deal with unusable segments already since if emulate_invalid_guest_state=true AR is not zeroed. Signed-off-by:

The current reexecute_instruction can not well detect the failed instruction emulation. It allows guest to retry all the instructions except it accesses on error pfn For example, some cases are nested-write-protect - if the page we want to write is used as PDE but it chains to itself. Under this case, we should stop the emulation and report the case to userspace Reviewed-by:

Currently, reexecute_instruction refused to retry all instructions if tdp is enabled. If nested npt is used, the emulation may be caused by shadow page, it can be fixed by dropping the shadow page. And the only condition that tdp can not retry the instruction is the access fault on error pfn Reviewed-by:

One such variable, slot, is enough for holding a pointer temporarily. We also remove another local variable named slot, which is limited in a block, since it is confusing to have the same name in this function. Reviewed-by:

If the userspace starts dirty logging for a large slot, say 64GB of memory, kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() needs to hold mmu_lock for a long time such as tens of milliseconds. This patch controls the lock hold time by asking the scheduler if we need to reschedule for others. One penalty for this is that we need to flush TLBs before releasing mmu_lock. But since holding mmu_lock for a long time does affect not only the guest, vCPU threads in other words, but also the host as a whole, we should pay for that. In practice, the cost will not be so high because we can protect a fair amount of memory before being rescheduled: on my test environment, cond_resched_lock() was called only once for protecting 12GB of memory even without THP. We can also revisit Avi's "unlocked TLB flush" work later for completely suppressing extra TLB flushes if needed. Reviewed-by:

Better to place mmu_lock handling and TLB flushing code together since this is a self-contained function. Reviewed-by:

Takuya Yoshikawa authored
No reason to make callers take mmu_lock since we do not need to protect kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() and kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() together by mmu_lock in kvm_arch_commit_memory_region(): the former calls kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page() and flushes TLBs by itself. Note: we do not need to protect kvm->arch.n_requested_mmu_pages by mmu_lock as can be seen from the fact that it is read locklessly. Reviewed-by:

This makes it possible to release mmu_lock and reschedule conditionally in a later patch. Although this may increase the time needed to protect the whole slot when we start dirty logging, the kernel should not allow the userspace to trigger something that will hold a spinlock for such a long time as tens of milliseconds: actually there is no limit since it is roughly proportional to the number of guest pages. Another point to note is that this patch removes the only user of slot_bitmap which will cause some problems when we increase the number of slots further. Reviewed-by:

Takuya Yoshikawa authored
Calling kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() for a deleted slot does nothing but search for non-existent mmu pages which have mappings to that deleted memory; this is safe but a waste of time. Since we want to make the function rmap based in a later patch, in a manner which makes it unsafe to be called for a deleted slot, we makes the caller see if the slot is non-zero and being dirty logged.
