Introduce some interfaces to modify spte as linux kernel does: - mmu_spte_clear_track_bits, it set the spte from present to nonpresent, and track the stat bits(accessed/dirty) of spte - mmu_spte_clear_no_track, the same as mmu_spte_clear_track_bits except tracking the stat bits - mmu_spte_set, set spte from nonpresent to present - mmu_spte_update, only update the stat bits Now, it does not allowed to set spte from present to present, later, we can drop the atomicly opration for X86_32 host, and it is the preparing work to get spte on X86_32 host out of the mmu lock Signed-off-by:

Xiao Guangrong authored
If the page fault is caused by mmio, the gfn can not be found in memslots, and 'bad_pfn' is returned on gfn_to_hva path, so we can use 'bad_pfn' to identify the mmio page fault. And, to clarify the meaning of mmio pfn, we return fault page instead of bad page when the gfn is not allowd to prefetch Signed-off-by:

This patch implements the kvm bits of the steal time infrastructure. The most important part of it, is the steal time clock. It is an continuous clock that shows the accumulated amount of steal time since vcpu creation. It is supposed to survive cpu offlining/onlining.

This patch makes update_rq_clock() aware of steal time. The mechanism of operation is not different from irq_time, and follows the same principles. This lives in a CONFIG option itself, and can be compiled out independently of the rest of steal time reporting. The effect of disabling it is that the scheduler will still report steal time (that cannot be disabled), but won't use this information for cpu power adjustments. Everytime update_rq_clock_task() is invoked, we query information about how much time was stolen since last call, and feed it into sched_rt_avg_update(). Although steal time reporting in account_process_tick() keeps track of the last time we read the steal clock, in prev_steal_time, this patch do it independently using another field, prev_steal_time_rq. This is because otherwise, information about time accounted in update_process_tick() would never reach us in update_rq_clock(). Signed-off-by:

This patch accounts steal time time in account_process_tick. If one or more tick is considered stolen in the current accounting cycle, user/system accounting is skipped. Idle is fine, since the hypervisor does not report steal time if the guest is halted. Accounting steal time from the core scheduler give us the advantage of direct acess to the runqueue data. In a later opportunity, it can be used to tweak cpu power and make the scheduler aware of the time it lost. [avi: <asm/paravirt.h> doesn't exist on many archs] Signed-off-by:

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest information about how much time was spent running other processes outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt time does not count. This information is acquired through the run_delay field of delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a runqueue but not running. Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the memory area address containing information about steal time This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure, and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest information about how much time was spent running other processes outside the VM. This is per-vcpu, and using the kvmclock structure for that is an abuse we decided not to make. In this patchset, I am introducing a new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, that holds the memory area address containing information about steal time This patch contains the headers for it. I am keeping it separate to facilitate backports to people who wants to backport the kernel part but not the hypervisor, or the other way around. Signed-off-by:

This adds support for running KVM guests in supervisor mode on those PPC970 processors that have a usable hypervisor mode. Unfortunately, Apple G5 machines have supervisor mode disabled (MSR[HV] is forced to 1), but the YDL PowerStation does have a usable hypervisor mode. There are several differences between the PPC970 and POWER7 in how guests are managed. These differences are accommodated using the CPU_FTR_ARCH_201 (PPC970) and CPU_FTR_ARCH_206 (POWER7) CPU feature bits. Notably, on PPC970: * The LPCR, LPID or RMOR registers don't exist, and the functions of those registers are provided by bits in HID4 and one bit in HID0. * External interrupts can be directed to the hypervisor, but unlike POWER7 they are masked by MSR[EE] in non-hypervisor modes and use SRR0/1 not HSRR0/1. * There is no virtual RMA (VRMA) mode; the guest must use an RMO (real mode offset) area. * The TLB entries are not tagged with the LPID, so it is necessary to flush the whole TLB on partition switch. Furthermore, when switching partitions we have to ensure that no other CPU is executing the tlbie or tlbsync instructions in either the old or the new partition, otherwise undefined behaviour can occur. * The PMU has 8 counters (PMC registers) rather than 6. * The DSCR, PURR, SPURR, AMR, AMOR, UAMOR registers don't exist. * The SLB has 64 entries rather than 32. * There is no mediated external interrupt facility, so if we switch to a guest that has a virtual external interrupt pending but the guest has MSR[EE] = 0, we have to arrange to have an interrupt pending for it so that we can get control back once it re-enables interrupts. We do that by sending ourselves an IPI with smp_send_reschedule after hard-disabling interrupts. Signed-off-by:

This replaces the single CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206 bit with two bits, one to indicate that we have a usable hypervisor mode, and another to indicate that the processor conforms to PowerISA version 2.06. We also add another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01 and set that for PPC970 and derivatives. Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0). On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1 bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that hypervisor mode is not useful. Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206) The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the provided mask are set. Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

This adds infrastructure which will be needed to allow book3s_hv KVM to run on older POWER processors, including PPC970, which don't support the Virtual Real Mode Area (VRMA) facility, but only the Real Mode Offset (RMO) facility. These processors require a physically contiguous, aligned area of memory for each guest. When the guest does an access in real mode (MMU off), the address is compared against a limit value, and if it is lower, the address is ORed with an offset value (from the Real Mode Offset Register (RMOR)) and the result becomes the real address for the access. The size of the RMA has to be one of a set of supported values, which usually includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB and some larger powers of 2. Since we are unlikely to be able to allocate 64MB or more of physically contiguous memory after the kernel has been running for a while, we allocate a pool of RMAs at boot time using the bootmem allocator. The size and number of the RMAs can be set using the kvm_rma_size=xx and kvm_rma_count=xx kernel command line options. KVM exports a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA, to signal the availability of the pool of preallocated RMAs. The capability value is 1 if the processor can use an RMA but doesn't require one (because it supports the VRMA facility), or 2 if the processor requires an RMA for each guest. This adds a new ioctl, KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA, which allocates an RMA from the pool and returns a file descriptor which can be used to map the RMA. It also returns the size of the RMA in the argument structure. Having an RMA means we will get multiple KMV_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl calls from userspace. To cope with this, we now preallocate the kvm->arch.ram_pginfo array when the VM is created with a size sufficient for up to 64GB of guest memory. Subsequently we will get rid of this array and use memory associated with each memslot instead. This moves most of the code that translates the user addresses into host pfns (page frame numbers) out of kvmppc_prepare_vrma up one level to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region. Also, instead of having to look up the VMA for each page in order to check the page size, we now check that the pages we get are compound pages of 16MB. However, if we are adding memory that is mapped to an RMA, we don't bother with calling get_user_pages_fast and instead just offset from the base pfn for the RMA. Typically the RMA gets added after vcpus are created, which makes it inconvenient to have the LPCR (logical partition control register) value in the vcpu->arch struct, since the LPCR controls whether the processor uses RMA or VRMA for the guest. This moves the LPCR value into the kvm->arch struct and arranges for the MER (mediated external request) bit, which is the only bit that varies between vcpus, to be set in assembly code when going into the guest if there is a pending external interrupt request.

This lifts the restriction that book3s_hv guests can only run one hardware thread per core, and allows them to use up to 4 threads per core on POWER7. The host still has to run single-threaded. This capability is advertised to qemu through a new KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. The return value of the ioctl querying this capability is the number of vcpus per virtual CPU core (vcore), currently 4. To use this, the host kernel should be booted with all threads active, and then all the secondary threads should be offlined. This will put the secondary threads into nap mode. KVM will then wake them from nap mode and use them for running guest code (while they are still offline). To wake the secondary threads, we send them an IPI using a new xics_wake_cpu() function, implemented in arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/icp-native.c. In other words, at this stage we assume that the platform has a XICS interrupt controller and we are using icp-native.c to drive it. Since the woken thread will need to acknowledge and clear the IPI, we also export the base physical address of the XICS registers using kvmppc_set_xics_phys() for use in the low-level KVM book3s code. When a vcpu is created, it is assigned to a virtual CPU core. The vcore number is obtained by dividing the vcpu number by the number of threads per core in the host. This number is exported to userspace via the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. If qemu wishes to run the guest in single-threaded mode, it should make all vcpu numbers be multiples of the number of threads per core. We distinguish three states of a vcpu: runnable (i.e., ready to execute the guest), blocked (that is, idle), and busy in host. We currently implement a policy that the vcore can run only when all its threads are runnable or blocked. This way, if a vcpu needs to execute elsewhere in the kernel or in qemu, it can do so without being starved of CPU by the other vcpus. When a vcore starts to run, it executes in the context of one of the vcpu threads. The other vcpu threads all go to sleep and stay asleep until something happens requiring the vcpu thread to return to qemu, or to wake up to run the vcore (this can happen when another vcpu thread goes from busy in host state to blocked). It can happen that a vcpu goes from blocked to runnable state (e.g. because of an interrupt), and the vcore it belongs to is already running. In that case it can start to run immediately as long as the none of the vcpus in the vcore have started to exit the guest. We send the next free thread in the vcore an IPI to get it to start to execute the guest. It synchronizes with the other threads via the vcore->entry_exit_count field to make sure that it doesn't go into the guest if the other vcpus are exiting by the time that it is ready to actually enter the guest. Note that there is no fixed relationship between the hardware thread number and the vcpu number. Hardware threads are assigned to vcpus as they become runnable, so we will always use the lower-numbered hardware threads in preference to higher-numbered threads if not all the vcpus in the vcore are runnable, regardless of which vcpus are runnable.

This improves I/O performance for guests using the PAPR paravirtualization interface by making the H_PUT_TCE hcall faster, by implementing it in real mode. H_PUT_TCE is used for updating virtual IOMMU tables, and is used both for virtual I/O and for real I/O in the PAPR interface. Since this moves the IOMMU tables into the kernel, we define a new KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE ioctl to allow qemu to create the tables. The ioctl returns a file descriptor which can be used to mmap the newly created table. The qemu driver models use them in the same way as userspace managed tables, but they can be updated directly by the guest with a real-mode H_PUT_TCE implementation, reducing the number of host/guest context switches during guest IO. There are certain circumstances where it is useful for userland qemu to write to the TCE table even if the kernel H_PUT_TCE path is used most of the time. Specifically, allowing this will avoid awkwardness when we need to reset the table. More importantly, we will in the future need to write the table in order to restore its state after a checkpoint resume or migration. Signed-off-by:

This adds the infrastructure for handling PAPR hcalls in the kernel, either early in the guest exit path while we are still in real mode, or later once the MMU has been turned back on and we are in the full kernel context. The advantage of handling hcalls in real mode if possible is that we avoid two partition switches -- and this will become more important when we support SMT4 guests, since a partition switch means we have to pull all of the threads in the core out of the guest. The disadvantage is that we can only access the kernel linear mapping, not anything vmalloced or ioremapped, since the MMU is off. This also adds code to handle the following hcalls in real mode: H_ENTER Add an HPTE to the hashed page table H_REMOVE Remove an HPTE from the hashed page table H_READ Read HPTEs from the hashed page table H_PROTECT Change the protection bits in an HPTE H_BULK_REMOVE Remove up to 4 HPTEs from the hashed page table H_SET_DABR Set the data address breakpoint register Plus code to handle the following hcalls in the kernel: H_CEDE Idle the vcpu until an interrupt or H_PROD hcall arrives H_PROD Wake up a ceded vcpu H_REGISTER_VPA Register a virtual processor area (VPA) The code that runs in real mode has to be in the base kernel, not in the module, if KVM is compiled as a module. The real-mode code can only access the kernel linear mapping, not vmalloc or ioremap space. Signed-off-by:

This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors, specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode. Using hypervisor mode means that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode. That means that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged registers itself without trapping to the host. This gives excellent performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor architecture other than the one that the hardware implements. This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses. That means that existing Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run under KVM without modification. In order to communicate the PAPR hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code to include/linux/kvm.h. Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support (i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only do one or the other. This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present. Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious restriction. With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight to the guest. We will never get data or instruction storage or segment interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from the guest. Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry to those exception handlers. We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage, hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist interrupts, so we have to handle those. In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just a limited amount. Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space. We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it. We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers, so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct. The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have to be in the same partition. MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition (partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and exit from the guest. At present we require the host and guest to run in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction. This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA). We require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in order to simplify the low-level memory management. This also means that we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now, since huge pages can't be paged or swapped. This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

There are several fields in struct kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu that temporarily store bits of host state while a guest is running, rather than anything relating to the particular guest or vcpu. This splits them out into a new kvmppc_host_state structure and modifies the definitions in asm-offsets.c to suit. On 32-bit, we have a kvmppc_host_state structure inside the kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu since the assembly code needs to be able to get to them both with one pointer. On 64-bit they are separate fields in the PACA. This means that on 64-bit we don't need to copy the kvmppc_host_state in and out on vcpu load/unload, and in future will mean that the book3s_hv code doesn't need a shadow_vcpu struct in the PACA at all. That does mean that we have to be careful not to rely on any values persisting in the hstate field of the paca across any point where we could block or get preempted. Signed-off-by:

In hypervisor mode, the LPCR controls several aspects of guest partitions, including virtual partition memory mode, and also controls whether the hypervisor decrementer interrupts are enabled. This sets up LPCR at boot time so that guest partitions will use a virtual real memory area (VRMA) composed of 16MB large pages, and hypervisor decrementer interrupts are disabled. Signed-off-by:

Doing so means that we don't have to save the flags anywhere and gets rid of the last reference to to_book3s(vcpu) in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s.c. Doing so is OK because a program interrupt won't be generated at the same time as any other synchronous interrupt. If a program interrupt and an asynchronous interrupt (external or decrementer) are generated at the same time, the program interrupt will be delivered, which is correct because it has a higher priority, and then the asynchronous interrupt will be masked. We don't ever generate system reset or machine check interrupts to the guest, but if we did, then we would need to make sure they got delivered rather than the program interrupt. The current code would be wrong in this situation anyway since it would deliver the program interrupt as well as the reset/machine check interrupt. Signed-off-by:

Instead of branching out-of-line with the DO_KVM macro to check if we are in a KVM guest at the time of an interrupt, this moves the KVM check inline in the first-level interrupt handlers. This speeds up the non-KVM case and makes sure that none of the interrupt handlers are missing the check. Because the first-level interrupt handlers are now larger, some things had to be move out of line in exceptions-64s.S. This all necessitated some minor changes to the interrupt entry code in KVM. This also streamlines the book3s_32 KVM test. Signed-off-by:

In preparation for adding code to enable KVM to use hypervisor mode on 64-bit Book 3S processors, this splits book3s.c into two files, book3s.c and book3s_pr.c, where book3s_pr.c contains the code that is specific to running the guest in problem state (user mode) and book3s.c contains code which should apply to all Book 3S processors. In doing this, we abstract some details, namely the interrupt offset, updating the interrupt pending flag, and detecting if the guest is in a critical section. These are all things that will be different when we use hypervisor mode. Signed-off-by:

Commit 69acc0d3ba ("KVM: PPC: Resolve real-mode handlers through function exports") resulted in vcpu->arch.trampoline_lowmem and vcpu->arch.trampoline_enter ending up with kernel virtual addresses rather than physical addresses. This is OK on 64-bit Book3S machines, which ignore the top 4 bits of the effective address in real mode, but on 32-bit Book3S machines, accessing these addresses in real mode causes machine check interrupts, as the hardware uses the whole effective address as the physical address in real mode. This fixes the problem by using __pa() to convert these addresses to physical addresses. Signed-off-by: -
