As we're about to trap CP15 accesses and handle them at EL2, we need to evaluate whether or not the condition flags are valid, as an implementation is allowed to trap despite the condition not being met. Tagging the function as __hyp_text allows this. We still rely on the cc_map array to be mapped at EL2 by virtue of being "const", and the linker to only emit relative references. Tested-by:

It is often useful to compare an ESR syndrome reporting the trapping of a system register with a value matching that system register. Since encoding both the sysreg and the ESR version seem to be a bit overkill, let's add a set of macros that convert an ESR value into the corresponding sysreg encoding. We handle both AArch32 and AArch64, taking advantage of identical encodings between system registers and CP15 accessors. Tested-by:

The PMU IRQ number is set through the VCPU device's KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR ioctl handler for the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ attribute, but there is no enforced or stated requirement that this must happen after initializing the VGIC. As a result, calling vgic_valid_spi() which relies on the nr_spis being set during the VGIC init can incorrectly fail. Introduce irq_is_spi, which determines if an IRQ number is within the SPI range without verifying it against the actual VGIC properties. Signed-off-by:

When injecting an IRQ to the VGIC, you now have to present an owner token for that IRQ line to show that you are the owner of that line. IRQ lines driven from userspace or via an irqfd do not have an owner and will simply pass a NULL pointer. Also get rid of the unused kvm_vgic_inject_mapped_irq prototype. Signed-off-by:

We check if other in-kernel devices have already been connected to the GIC for a particular interrupt line when possible. For the PMU, we can do this whenever setting the PMU interrupt number from userspace. For the timers, we have to wait until we try to enable the timer, because we have a concept of default IRQ numbers that userspace shouldn't have to work around in the initialization phase.

First we define an ABI using the vcpu devices that lets userspace set the interrupt numbers for the various timers on both the 32-bit and 64-bit KVM/ARM implementations. Second, we add the definitions for the groups and attributes introduced by the above ABI. (We add the PMU define on the 32-bit side as well for symmetry and it may get used some day.) Third, we set up the arch-specific vcpu device operation handlers to call into the timer code for anything related to the KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_CTRL group. Fourth, we implement support for getting and setting the timer interrupt numbers using the above defined ABI in the arch timer code. Fifth, we introduce error checking upon enabling the arch timer (which is called when first running a VCPU) to check that all VCPUs are configured to use the same PPI for the timer (as mandated by the architecture) and that the virtual and physical timers are not configured to use the same IRQ number.

We currently initialize the arch timer IRQ numbers from the reset code, presumably because we once intended to model multiple CPU or SoC types from within the kernel and have hard-coded reset values in the reset code. As we are moving towards userspace being in charge of more fine-grained CPU emulation and stitching together the pieces needed to emulate a particular type of CPU, we should no longer have a tight coupling between resetting a VCPU and setting IRQ numbers. Therefore, move the logic to define and use the default IRQ numbers to the timer code and set the IRQ number immediately when creating the VCPU. Signed-off-by:

Since we got support for devices in userspace which allows reporting the PMU overflow output status to userspace, we should actually allow creating the PMU on systems without an in-kernel irqchip, which in turn requires us to slightly clarify error codes for the ABI and move things around for the initialization phase.

We used to extract PRIbits from the ICH_VT_EL2 which was the upper field in the register word, so a mask wasn't necessary, but as we switched to looking at PREbits, which is bits 26 through 28 with the PRIbits field being potentially non-zero, we really need to mask off the field value, otherwise fun things may happen.

The timer work is only scheduled for a VCPU when that VCPU is blocked. This means we only need to wake it up, not kick (IPI) it. While calling kvm_vcpu_kick() would just do the wake up, and not kick, anyway, let's change this to avoid request-less vcpu kicks, as they're generally not a good idea (see "Request-less VCPU Kicks" in Documentation/virtual/kvm/vcpu-requests.rst) Signed-off-by:

Refactor PMU overflow handling in order to remove the request-less vcpu kick. Now, since kvm_vgic_inject_irq() uses vcpu requests, there should be no chance that a kick sent at just the wrong time (between the VCPU's call to kvm_pmu_flush_hwstate() and before it enters guest mode) results in a failure for the guest to see updated GIC state until its next exit some time later for some other reason.

Don't use request-less VCPU kicks when injecting IRQs, as a VCPU kick meant to trigger the interrupt injection could be sent while the VCPU is outside guest mode, which means no IPI is sent, and after it has called kvm_vgic_flush_hwstate(), meaning it won't see the updated GIC state until its next exit some time later for some other reason. The receiving VCPU only needs to check this request in VCPU RUN to handle it. By checking it, if it's pending, a memory barrier will be issued that ensures all state is visible.

A request called EXIT is too generic. All requests are meant to cause exits, but different requests have different flags. Let's not make it difficult to decide if the EXIT request is correct for some case by just always providing unique requests for each case. This patch changes EXIT to SLEEP, because that's what the request is asking the VCPU to do. Signed-off-by:

We can make a small optimization by not checking the state of the power_off field on each run. This is done by treating power_off like pause, only checking it when we get the EXIT VCPU request. When a VCPU powers off another VCPU the EXIT request is already made, so we just need to make sure the request is also made on self power off. kvm_vcpu_kick() isn't necessary for these cases, as the VCPU would just be kicking itself, but we add it anyway as a self kick doesn't cost much, and it makes the code more future-proof.

System shutdown is currently using request-less VCPU kicks. This leaves open a tiny race window, as it doesn't ensure the state change to power_off is seen by a VCPU just about to enter guest mode. VCPU requests, OTOH, are guaranteed to be seen (see "Ensuring Requests Are Seen" of Documentation/virtual/kvm/vcpu-requests.rst) This patch applies the EXIT request used by pause to power_off, fixing the race.

The current use of KVM_REQ_VCPU_EXIT for pause is fine. Even the requester clearing the request is OK, as this is the special case where the sole requesting thread and receiving VCPU are executing synchronously (see "Clearing Requests" in Documentation/virtual/kvm/vcpu-requests.rst) However, that's about to change, so let's ensure only the receiving VCPU clears the request. Additionally, by guaranteeing KVM_REQ_VCPU_EXIT is always set when pause is, we can avoid checking pause directly in VCPU RUN. Signed-off-by:
