When running a guest with the architected timer disabled (with QEMU and the kernel_irqchip=off option, for example), it is important to make sure the timer gets turned off. Otherwise, the guest may try to enable it anyway, leading to a screaming HW interrupt. The fix is to unconditionally turn off the virtual timer on guest exit.

Until b26e5fda ("arm/arm64: KVM: introduce per-VM ops"), kvm_vgic_map_resources() used to include a check on irqchip_in_kernel(), and vgic_v2_map_resources() still has it. But now vm_ops are not initialized until we call kvm_vgic_create(). Therefore kvm_vgic_map_resources() can being called without a VGIC, and we die because vm_ops.map_resources is NULL. Fixing this restores QEMU's kernel-irqchip=off option to a working state, allowing to use GIC emulation in userspace.

A critical bug has been found in device memory stage1 translation for VMs with more then 4GB of address space. Once vm_pgoff size is smaller then pa (which is true for LPAE case, u32 and u64 respectively) some more significant bits of pa may be lost as a shift operation is performed on u32 and later cast onto u64. Example: vm_pgoff(u32)=0x00210030, PAGE_SHIFT=12 expected pa(u64): 0x0000002010030000 produced pa(u64): 0x0000000010030000 The fix is to change the order of operations (casting first onto phys_addr_t and then shifting).

When restoring the system register state for an AArch32 guest at EL2, writes to DACR32_EL2 may not be correctly synchronised by Cortex-A57, which can lead to the guest effectively running with junk in the DACR and running into unexpected domain faults. This patch works around the issue by re-ordering our restoration of the AArch32 register aliases so that they happen before the AArch64 system registers. Ensuring that the registers are restored in this order guarantees that they will be correctly synchronised by the core.

We currently set the physical active state only when we *inject* a new pending virtual interrupt, but this is actually not correct, because we could have been preempted and run something else on the system that resets the active state to clear. This causes us to run the VM with the timer set to fire, but without setting the physical active state. The solution is to always check the LR configurations, and we if have a mapped interrupt in the LR in either the pending or active state (virtual), then set the physical active state.

Virtual interrupts mapped to a HW interrupt should only be triggered from inside the kernel. Otherwise, you could end up confusing the kernel (and the GIC's) state machine. Rearrange the injection path so that kvm_vgic_inject_irq is used for non-mapped interrupts, and kvm_vgic_inject_mapped_irq is used for mapped interrupts. The latter should only be called from inside the kernel (timer, irqfd). Reviewed-by: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

To allow a HW interrupt to be injected into a guest, we lookup the guest virtual interrupt in the irq_phys_map list, and if we have a match, encode both interrupts in the LR.

As we now inject the timer interrupt when we're about to enter the guest, it makes a lot more sense to make sure this happens before the vgic code queues the pending interrupts. Otherwise, we get the interrupt on the following exit, which is not great for latency (and leads to all kind of bizarre issues when using with active interrupts at the HW level).

This adds support for userspace to control the HW debug registers for guest debug. In the debug ioctl we copy an IMPDEF registers into a new register set called host_debug_state. We use the recently introduced vcpu parameter debug_ptr to select which register set is copied into the real registers when world switch occurs. I've made some helper functions from hw_breakpoint.c more widely available for re-use. As with single step we need to tweak the guest registers to enable the exceptions so we need to save and restore those bits. Two new capabilities have been added to the KVM_EXTENSION ioctl to allow userspace to query the number of hardware break and watch points available on the host hardware.

This introduces a level of indirection for the debug registers. Instead of using the sys_regs[] directly we store registers in a structure in the vcpu. The new kvm_arm_reset_debug_ptr() sets the debug ptr to the guest context. Because we no longer give the sys_regs offset for the sys_reg_desc->reg field, but instead the index into a debug-specific struct we need to add a number of additional trap functions for each register. Also as the generic generic user-space access code no longer works we have introduced a new pair of function pointers to the sys_reg_desc structure to override the generic code when needed.

This is a pre-cursor to sharing the code with the guest debug support. This replaces the big macro that fishes data out of a fixed location with a more general helper macro to restore a set of debug registers. It uses macro substitution so it can be re-used for debug control and value registers. It does however rely on the debug registers being 64 bit aligned (as they happen to be in the hyp ABI).

This adds support for single-stepping the guest. To do this we need to manipulate the guests PSTATE.SS and MDSCR_EL1.SS bits to trigger stepping. We take care to preserve MDSCR_EL1 and trap access to it to ensure we don't affect the apparent state of the guest. As we have to enable trapping of all software debug exceptions we suppress the ability of the guest to single-step itself. If we didn't we would have to deal with the exception arriving while the guest was in kernelspace when the guest is expecting to single-step userspace. This is something we don't want to unwind in the kernel. Once the host is no longer debugging the guest its ability to single-step userspace is restored.

This adds support for SW breakpoints inserted by userspace. We do this by trapping all guest software debug exceptions to the hypervisor (MDCR_EL2.TDE). The exit handler sets an exit reason of KVM_EXIT_DEBUG with the kvm_debug_exit_arch structure holding the exception syndrome information. It will be up to userspace to extract the PC (via GET_ONE_REG) and determine if the debug event was for a breakpoint it inserted. If not userspace will need to re-inject the correct exception restart the hypervisor to deliver the debug exception to the guest. Any other guest software debug exception (e.g. single step or HW assisted breakpoints) will cause an error and the VM to be killed. This is addressed by later patches which add support for the other debug types.

This is a precursor for later patches which will need to do more to setup debug state before entering the hyp.S switch code. The existing functionality for setting mdcr_el2 has been moved out of hyp.S and now uses the value kept in vcpu->arch.mdcr_el2. As the assembler used to previously mask and preserve MDCR_EL2.HPMN I've had to add a mechanism to save the value of mdcr_el2 as a per-cpu variable during the initialisation code. The kernel never sets this number so we are assuming the bootcode has set up the correct value here. This also moves the conditional setting of the TDA bit from the hyp code into the C code which is currently used for the lazy debug register context switch code.

Jörg Otte reports a NULL pointder dereference due to this commit, as 'crtc_state' very much can be NULL: crtc_state = state->base.state ? intel_atomic_get_crtc_state(state->base.state, intel_crtc) : NULL; So the change to test 'crtc_state->base.active' cannot possibly be correct as-is. There may be some other minimal fix (like just checking crtc_state for NULL), but I'm just reverting it now for the rc2 release, and people like Daniel Vetter who actually know this code will figure out what the right solution is in the longer term.
