To handle L2 TLB flush requests, KVM needs to keep track of L2's VM_ID/ VP_IDs which are set by L1 hypervisor.

KVM: x86: hyper-v: Use preallocated buffer in 'struct kvm_vcpu_hv' instead of on-stack 'sparse_banks' To make kvm_hv_flush_tlb() ready to handle L2 TLB flush requests, KVM needs to allow for all 64 sparse vCPU banks regardless of KVM_MAX_VCPUs as L1 may use vCPU overcommit for L2. To avoid growing on-stack allocation, make 'sparse_banks' part of per-vCPU 'struct kvm_vcpu_hv' which is allocated dynamically. Note: sparse_set_to_vcpu_mask() can't currently be used to handle L2 requests as KVM does not keep L2 VM_ID -> L2 VCPU_ID -> L1 vCPU mappings, i.e. its vp_bitmap array is still bounded by the number of L1 vCPUs and so can remain an on-stack allocation.

To handle L2 TLB flush requests, KVM needs to use a separate fifo from regular (L1) Hyper-V TLB flush requests: e.g. when a request to flush something in L2 is made, the target vCPU can transition from L2 to L1, receive a request to flush a GVA for L1 and then try to enter L2 back. The first request needs to be processed at this point. Similarly, requests to flush GVAs in L1 must wait until L2 exits to L1. No functional change as KVM doesn't handle L2 TLB flush requests from L2 yet.

Get rid of on-stack allocation of vcpu_mask and optimize kvm_hv_send_ipi() for a smaller number of vCPUs in the request. When Hyper-V TLB flush is in use, HvSendSyntheticClusterIpi{,Ex} calls are not commonly used to send IPIs to a large number of vCPUs (and are rarely used in general). Introduce hv_is_vp_in_sparse_set() to directly check if the specified VP_ID is present in sparse vCPU set.

Extended GVA ranges support bit seems to indicate whether lower 12 bits of GVA can be used to specify up to 4095 additional consequent GVAs to flush. This is somewhat described in TLFS. Previously, KVM was handling HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_LIST{,EX} requests by flushing the whole VPID so technically, extended GVA ranges were already supported. As such requests are handled more gently now, advertizing support for extended ranges starts making sense to reduce the size of TLB flush requests.

To allow flushing individual GVAs instead of always flushing the whole VPID a per-vCPU structure to pass the requests is needed. Use standard 'kfifo' to queue two types of entries: individual GVA (GFN + up to 4095 following GFNs in the lower 12 bits) and 'flush all'. The size of the fifo is arbitrarily set to '16'. Note, kvm_hv_flush_tlb() only queues 'flush all' entries for now and kvm_hv_vcpu_flush_tlb() doesn't actually read the fifo just resets the queue before returning -EOPNOTSUPP (which triggers full TLB flush) so the functional change is very small but the infrastructure is prepared to handle individual GVA flush requests.

Clear KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_CURRENT in kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_all() instead of in its sole caller that processes KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH. Regardless of why/when kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_all() is called, flushing "all" TLB entries also flushes "current" TLB entries. Ideally, there will never be another caller of kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_all(), and moving the handling "requires" extra work to document the ordering requirement, but future Hyper-V paravirt TLB flushing support will add similar logic for flush "guest" (Hyper-V can flush a subset of "guest" entries). And in the Hyper-V case, KVM needs to do more than just clear the request, the queue of GPAs to flush also needs to purged, and doing all only in the request path is undesirable as kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_guest() does have multiple callers (though it's unlikely KVM's paravirt TLB flush will coincide with Hyper-V's paravirt TLB flush). Move the logic even though it adds extra "work" so that KVM will be consistent with how flush requests are processed when the Hyper-V support lands. No functional change intended.

Since gfn_to_memslot() is relatively expensive, it helps to skip it if it the memslot cannot possibly have dirty logging enabled. In order to do this, add to struct kvm a counter of the number of log-page memslots. While the correct value can only be read with slots_lock taken, the NX recovery thread is content with using an approximate value. Therefore, the counter is an atomic_t.

This fixes three issues in nested SVM: 1) in the shutdown_interception() vmexit handler we call kvm_vcpu_reset(). However, if running nested and L1 doesn't intercept shutdown, the function resets vcpu->arch.hflags without properly leaving the nested state. This leaves the vCPU in inconsistent state and later triggers a kernel panic in SVM code. The same bug can likely be triggered by sending INIT via local apic to a vCPU which runs a nested guest. On VMX we are lucky that the issue can't happen because VMX always intercepts triple faults, thus triple fault in L2 will always be redirected to L1. Plus, handle_triple_fault() doesn't reset the vCPU. INIT IPI can't happen on VMX either because INIT events are masked while in VMX mode. Secondarily, KVM doesn't honour SHUTDOWN intercept bit of L1 on SVM. A normal hypervisor should always intercept SHUTDOWN, a unit test on the other hand might want to not do so. Finally, the guest can trigger a kernel non rate limited printk on SVM from the guest, which is fixed as well. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

It is valid to receive external interrupt and have broken IDT entry, which will lead to #GP with exit_int_into that will contain the index of the IDT entry (e.g any value). Other exceptions can happen as well, like #NP or #SS (if stack switch fails). Thus this warning can be user triggred and has very little value.

While not obivous, kvm_vcpu_reset() leaves the nested mode by clearing 'vcpu->arch.hflags' but it does so without all the required housekeeping. On SVM, it is possible to have a vCPU reset while in guest mode because unlike VMX, on SVM, INIT's are not latched in SVM non root mode and in addition to that L1 doesn't have to intercept triple fault, which should also trigger L1's reset if happens in L2 while L1 didn't intercept it. If one of the above conditions happen, KVM will continue to use vmcb02 while not having in the guest mode. Later the IA32_EFER will be cleared which will lead to freeing of the nested guest state which will (correctly) free the vmcb02, but since KVM still uses it (incorrectly) this will lead to a use after free and kernel crash.

Do not recover (i.e. zap) an NX Huge Page that is being dirty tracked, as it will just be faulted back in at the same 4KiB granularity when accessed by a vCPU. This may need to be changed if KVM ever supports 2MiB (or larger) dirty tracking granularity, or faulting huge pages during dirty tracking for reads/executes. However for now, these zaps are entirely wasteful. In order to check if this commit increases the CPU usage of the NX recovery worker thread I used a modified version of execute_perf_test [1] that supports splitting guest memory into multiple slots and reports /proc/pid/schedstat:se.sum_exec_runtime for the NX recovery worker just before tearing down the VM. The goal was to force a large number of NX Huge Page recoveries and see if the recovery worker used any more CPU. Test Setup: echo 1000 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/nx_huge_pages_recovery_period_ms echo 10 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/nx_huge_pages_recovery_ratio Test Command: ./execute_perf_test -v64 -s anonymous_hugetlb_1gb -x 16 -o | kvm-nx-lpage-re:se.sum_exec_runtime | | ---------------------------------------- | Run | Before | After | ------- | ------------------ | ------------------- | 1 | 730.084105 | 724.375314 | 2 | 728.751339 | 740.581988 | 3 | 736.264720 | 757.078163 | Comparing the median results, this commit results in about a 1% increase CPU usage of the NX recovery worker when testing a VM with 16 slots. However, the effect is negligible with the default halving time of NX pages, which is 1 hour rather than 10 seconds given by period_ms = 1000, ratio = 10.

A removed SPTE is never present, hence the "if" in kvm_tdp_mmu_map only fails in the exact same conditions that the earlier loop tested in order to issue a "break". So, instead of checking twice the condition (upper level SPTEs could not be created or was frozen), just exit the loop with a goto---the usual poor-man C replacement for RAII early returns. While at it, do not use the "ret" variable for return values of functions that do not return a RET_PF_* enum. This is clearer and also makes it possible to initialize ret to RET_PF_RETRY.

Now that the TDP MMU has a mechanism to split huge pages, use it in the fault path when a huge page needs to be replaced with a mapping at a lower level. This change reduces the negative performance impact of NX HugePages. Prior to this change if a vCPU executed from a huge page and NX HugePages was enabled, the vCPU would take a fault, zap the huge page, and mapping the faulting address at 4KiB with execute permissions enabled. The rest of the memory would be left *unmapped* and have to be faulted back in by the guest upon access (read, write, or execute). If guest is backed by 1GiB, a single execute instruction can zap an entire GiB of its physical address space. For example, it can take a VM longer to execute from its memory than to populate that memory in the first place: $ ./execute_perf_test -s anonymous_hugetlb_1gb -v96 Populating memory : 2.748378795s Executing from memory : 2.899670885s With this change, such faults split the huge page instead of zapping it, which avoids the non-present faults on the rest of the huge page: $ ./execute_perf_test -s anonymous_hugetlb_1gb -v96 Populating memory : 2.729544474s Executing from memory : 0.111965688s <--- This change also reduces the performance impact of dirty logging when eager_page_split=N. eager_page_split=N (abbreviated "eps=N" below) can be desirable for read-heavy workloads, as it avoids allocating memory to split huge pages that are never written and avoids increasing the TLB miss cost on reads of those pages. | Config: ept=Y, tdp_mmu=Y, 5% writes | | Iteration 1 dirty memory time | | --------------------------------------------- | vCPU Count | eps=N (Before) | eps=N (After) | eps=Y | ------------ | -------------- | ------------- | ------------ | 2 | 0.332305091s | 0.019615027s | 0.006108211s | 4 | 0.353096020s | 0.019452131s | 0.006214670s | 8 | 0.453938562s | 0.019748246s | 0.006610997s | 16 | 0.719095024s | 0.019972171s | 0.007757889s | 32 | 1.698727124s | 0.021361615s | 0.012274432s | 64 | 2.630673582s | 0.031122014s | 0.016994683s | 96 | 3.016535213s | 0.062608739s | 0.044760838s | Eager page splitting remains beneficial for write-heavy workloads, but the gap is now reduced. | Config: ept=Y, tdp_mmu=Y, 100% writes | | Iteration 1 dirty memory time | | --------------------------------------------- | vCPU Count | eps=N (Before) | eps=N (After) | eps=Y | ------------ | -------------- | ------------- | ------------ | 2 | 0.317710329s | 0.296204596s | 0.058689782s | 4 | 0.337102375s | 0.299841017s | 0.060343076s | 8 | 0.386025681s | 0.297274460s | 0.060399702s | 16 | 0.791462524s | 0.298942578s | 0.062508699s | 32 | 1.719646014s | 0.313101996s | 0.075984855s | 64 | 2.527973150s | 0.455779206s | 0.079789363s | 96 | 2.681123208s | 0.673778787s | 0.165386739s | Further study is needed to determine if the remaining gap is acceptable for customer workloads or if eager_page_split=N still requires a-priori knowledge of the VM workload, especially when considering these costs extrapolated out to large VMs with e.g. 416 vCPUs and 12TB RAM.

KVM selftests updates for 6.2 perf_util: - Add support for pinning vCPUs in dirty_log_perf_test. - Add a lightweight psuedo RNG for guest use, and use it to randomize the access pattern and write vs. read percentage in the so called "perf util" tests. - Rename the so called "perf_util" framework to "memstress". ucall: - Add a common pool-based ucall implementation (code dedup and pre-work for running SEV (and beyond) guests in selftests. - Fix an issue in ARM's single-step test when using the new pool-based implementation; LDREX/STREX don't play nice with single-step exceptions. init: - Provide a common constructor and arch hook, which will eventually be used by x86 to automatically select the right hypercall (AMD vs. Intel). x86: - Clean up x86's page tabe management. - Clean up and enhance the "smaller maxphyaddr" test, and add a related test to cover generic emulation failure. - Clean up the nEPT support checks. - Add X86_PROPERTY_* framework to retrieve multi-bit CPUID values.

When checking for nEPT support in KVM, use kvm_get_feature_msr() instead of vcpu_get_msr() to retrieve KVM's default TRUE_PROCBASED_CTLS and PROCBASED_CTLS2 MSR values, i.e. don't require a VM+vCPU to query nEPT support.

Now that a VM isn't needed to check for nEPT support, assert that KVM supports nEPT in prepare_eptp() instead of skipping the test, and push the TEST_REQUIRE() check out to individual tests. The require+assert are somewhat redundant and will incur some amount of ongoing maintenance burden, but placing the "require" logic in the test makes it easier to find/understand a test's requirements and in this case, provides a very strong hint that the test cares about nEPT.

Drop kvm_get_supported_cpuid_entry() and its inner helper now that all known usage can use X86_FEATURE_*, X86_PROPERTY_*, X86_PMU_FEATURE_*, or the dedicated Family/Model helpers. Providing "raw" access to CPUID leafs is undesirable as it encourages open coding CPUID checks, which is often error prone and not self-documenting. No functional change intended.

Add KVM variants of the x86 Family and Model helpers, and use them in the PMU event filter test. Open code the retrieval of KVM's supported CPUID entry 0x1.0 in anticipation of dropping kvm_get_supported_cpuid_entry(). No functional change intended.
