This reverts commit 71883a62. The above commit contains an optimization to kvm_zap_gfn_range which uses gfn-limited TLB flushes, if enabled. If using these limited flushes, kvm_zap_gfn_range passes lock_flush_tlb=false to slot_handle_level_range which creates a race when the function unlocks to call cond_resched. See an example of this race below: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 3 // zap_direct_gfn_range mmu_lock() // *ptep == pte_1 *ptep = 0 if (lock_flush_tlb) flush_tlbs() mmu_unlock() // In invalidate range // MMU notifier mmu_lock() if (pte != 0) *ptep = 0 flush = true if (flush) flush_remote_tlbs() mmu_unlock() return // Host MM reallocates // page previously // backing guest memory. // Guest accesses // invalid page // through pte_1 // in its TLB!! Tested: Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a Intel Haswell machine with and without this patch. The patch introduced no new failures. Signed-off-by:

Due to what looks like a typo dating back to the original addition of FPEXC32_EL2 handling, KVM currently initialises this register to an architecturally invalid value. As a result, the VECITR field (RES1) in bits [10:8] is initialised with 0, and the two reserved (RES0) bits [6:5] are initialised with 1. (In the Common VFP Subarchitecture as specified by ARMv7-A, these two bits were IMP DEF. ARMv8-A removes them.) This patch changes the reset value from 0x70 to 0x700, which reflects the architectural constraints and is presumably what was originally intended.

When the hash MMU is active the AMR, IAMR and UAMOR are used for pkeys. The AMR is directly writable by user space, and the UAMOR masks those writes, meaning both registers are effectively user register state. The IAMR is used to create an execute only key. Also we must maintain the value of at least the AMR when running in process context, so that any memory accesses done by the kernel on behalf of the process are correctly controlled by the AMR. Although we are correctly switching all registers when going into a guest, on returning to the host we just write 0 into all regs, except on Power9 where we restore the IAMR correctly. This could be observed by a user process if it writes the AMR, then runs a guest and we then return immediately to it without rescheduling. Because we have written 0 to the AMR that would have the effect of granting read/write permission to pages that the process was trying to protect. In addition, when using the Radix MMU, the AMR can prevent inadvertent kernel access to userspace data, writing 0 to the AMR disables that protection. So save and restore AMR, IAMR and UAMOR.

The anon fd's ops releases the KVM reference in the release hook. However we reference the KVM object after we create the fd so there is small window when the release function can be called and dereferenced the KVM object which potentially may free it. It is not a problem at the moment as the file is created and KVM is referenced under the KVM lock and the release function obtains the same lock before dereferencing the KVM (although the lock is not held when calling kvm_put_kvm()) but it is potentially fragile against future changes. This references the KVM object before creating a file. Signed-off-by:

This makes the handling of machine check interrupts that occur inside a guest simpler and more robust, with less done in assembler code and in real mode. Now, when a machine check occurs inside a guest, we always get the machine check event struct and put a copy in the vcpu struct for the vcpu where the machine check occurred. We no longer call machine_check_queue_event() from kvmppc_realmode_mc_power7(), because on POWER8, when a vcpu is running on an offline secondary thread and we call machine_check_queue_event(), that calls irq_work_queue(), which doesn't work because the CPU is offline, but instead triggers the WARN_ON(lazy_irq_pending()) in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (which fires again and again because nothing clears the condition). All that machine_check_queue_event() actually does is to cause the event to be printed to the console. For a machine check occurring in the guest, we now print the event in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() instead. The assembly code at label machine_check_realmode now just calls C code and then continues exiting the guest. We no longer either synthesize a machine check for the guest in assembly code or return to the guest without a machine check. The code in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() is extended to handle the case where the guest is not FWNMI-capable. In that case we now always synthesize a machine check interrupt for the guest. Previously, if the host thinks it has recovered the machine check fully, it would return to the guest without any notification that the machine check had occurred. If the machine check was caused by some action of the guest (such as creating duplicate SLB entries), it is much better to tell the guest that it has caused a problem. Therefore we now always generate a machine check interrupt for guests that are not FWNMI-capable. Reviewed-by:

kvmhv_p9_guest_entry() implements a fast-path guest entry for Power9 when guest and host are both running with the Radix MMU. Currently in that path we don't save the host AMR (Authority Mask Register) value, and we always restore 0 on return to the host. That is OK at the moment because the AMR is not used for storage keys with the Radix MMU. However we plan to start using the AMR on Radix to prevent the kernel from reading/writing to userspace outside of copy_to/from_user(). In order to make that work we need to save/restore the AMR value. We only restore the value if it is different from the guest value, which is already in the register when we exit to the host. This should mean we rarely need to actually restore the value when running a modern Linux as a guest, because it will be using the same value as us. Signed-off-by:

The invariant TSC bit has the following meaning: "The time stamp counter in newer processors may support an enhancement, referred to as invariant TSC. Processor's support for invariant TSC is indicated by CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8]. The invariant TSC will run at a constant rate in all ACPI P-, C-. and T-states. This is the architectural behavior moving forward. On processors with invariant TSC support, the OS may use the TSC for wall clock timer services (instead of ACPI or HPET timers). TSC reads are much more efficient and do not incur the overhead associated with a ring transition or access to a platform resource." IOW, TSC does not change frequency. In such case, and with TSC scaling hardware available to handle migration, it is possible to use the TSC clocksource directly, whose system calls are faster. Reduce the rating of kvmclock clocksource to allow TSC clocksource to be the default if invariant TSC is exposed. Signed-off-by:

grow_halt_poll_ns() have a strange behaviour in case (vcpu->halt_poll_ns != 0) && (vcpu->halt_poll_ns < halt_poll_ns_grow_start). In this case, vcpu->halt_poll_ns will be multiplied by grow factor (halt_poll_ns_grow) which will require several grow iteration in order to reach a value bigger than halt_poll_ns_grow_start. This means that growing vcpu->halt_poll_ns from value of 0 is slower than growing it from a positive value less than halt_poll_ns_grow_start. Which is misleading and inaccurate. Fix issue by changing grow_halt_poll_ns() to set vcpu->halt_poll_ns to halt_poll_ns_grow_start in any case that (vcpu->halt_poll_ns < halt_poll_ns_grow_start). Regardless if vcpu->halt_poll_ns is 0. use READ_ONCE to get a consistent number for all cases. Reviewed-by:

The hard-coded value 10000 in grow_halt_poll_ns() stands for the initial start value when raising up vcpu->halt_poll_ns. It actually sets the first timeout to the first polling session. This value has significant effect on how tolerant we are to outliers. On the standard case, higher value is better - we will spend more time in the polling busyloop, handle events/interrupts faster and result in better performance. But on outliers it puts us in a busy loop that does nothing. Even if the shrink factor is zero, we will still waste time on the first iteration. The optimal value changes between different workloads. It depends on outliers rate and polling sessions length. As this value has significant effect on the dynamic halt-polling algorithm, it should be configurable and exposed. Reviewed-by:

...via a new helper, __kvm_mmu_zap_all(). An alternative to passing a 'bool mmio_only' would be to pass a callback function to filter the shadow page, i.e. to make __kvm_mmu_zap_all() generic and reusable, but zapping all shadow pages is a last resort, i.e. making the helper less extensible is a feature of sorts. And the explicit MMIO parameter makes it easy to preserve the WARN_ON_ONCE() if a restart is triggered when zapping MMIO sptes. Signed-off-by:

Sean Christopherson authored
Paolo expressed a concern that kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes() could have a quadratic runtime[1], i.e. restarting the spte walk while zapping only MMIO sptes could result in re-walking large portions of the list over and over due to the non-MMIO sptes encountered before the restart not being removed. At the time, the concern was legitimate as the walk was restarted when any spte was zapped. But that is no longer the case as the walk is now restarted iff one or more children have been zapped, which is necessary because zapping children makes the active_mmu_pages list unstable. Furthermore, it should be impossible for an MMIO spte to have children, i.e. zapping an MMIO spte should never result in zapping children. In other words, kvm_mmu_zap_mmio_sptes() should never restart its walk, and so should always execute in linear time. WARN if this assertion fails. Although it should never be needed, leave the restart logic in place. In normal operation, the cost is at worst an extra CMP+Jcc, and if for some reason the list does become unstable, not restarting would likely crash KVM, or worse, the kernel.

The return value of kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() has evolved to become overloaded to convey two separate pieces of information. 1) was at least one page zapped and 2) has the list of MMU pages become unstable. In it's original incarnation (as kvm_mmu_zap_page()), there was no return value at all. Commit 07385413 ("KVM: MMU: awareness of new kvm_mmu_zap_page behaviour") added a return value in preparation for commit 4731d4c7 ("KVM: MMU: out of sync shadow core"). Although the return value was of type 'int', it was actually used as a boolean to indicate whether or not active_mmu_pages may have become unstable due to zapping children. Walking a list with list_for_each_entry_safe() only protects against deleting/moving the current entry, i.e. zapping a child page would break iteration due to modifying any number of entries. Later, commit 60c8aec6 ("KVM: MMU: use page array in unsync walk") modified mmu_zap_unsync_children() to return an approximation of the number of children zapped. This was not intentional, it was simply a side effect of how the code was written. The unintented side affect was then morphed into an actual feature by commit 77662e00 ("KVM: MMU: fix kvm_mmu_zap_page() and its calling path"), which modified kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() to use the number of zapped pages when determining the number of MMU pages in use by the VM. Finally, commit 54a4f023 ("KVM: MMU: make kvm_mmu_zap_page() return the number of pages it actually freed") added the initial page to the return value to make its behavior more consistent with what most users would expect. Incorporating the initial parent page in the return value of kvm_mmu_zap_page() breaks the original usage of restarting a list walk on a non-zero return value to handle a potentially unstable list, i.e. walks will unnecessarily restart when any page is zapped. Fix this by restoring the original behavior of kvm_mmu_zap_page(), i.e. return a boolean to indicate that the list may be unstable and move the number of zapped children to a dedicated parameter. Since the majority of callers to kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() don't care about either return value, preserve the current definition of kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() by making it a wrapper of a new helper, __kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page(). This avoids having to update every call site and also provides cleaner code for functions that only care about the number of pages zapped.

Call cond_resched_lock() when zapping all sptes to reschedule if needed or to release and reacquire mmu_lock in case of contention. There is no need to flush or zap when temporarily dropping mmu_lock as zapping all sptes is done only when the owning userspace VMM has exited or when the VM is being destroyed, i.e. there is no interplay with memslots or MMIO generations to worry about. Be paranoid and restart the walk if mmu_lock is dropped to avoid any potential issues with consuming a stale iterator. The overhead in doing so is negligible as at worst there will be a few root shadow pages at the head of the list, i.e. the iterator is essentially the head of the list already. Signed-off-by:

...to guarantee forward progress. When zapped, root pages are marked invalid and moved to the head of the active pages list until they are explicitly freed. Theoretically, having unzappable root pages at the head of the list could prevent kvm_mmu_zap_all() from making forward progress were a future patch to add a loop restart after processing a page, e.g. to drop mmu_lock on contention. Although kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() can theoretically take action on invalid pages, e.g. to zap unsync children, functionally it's not necessary (root pages will be re-zapped when freed) and practically speaking the odds of e.g. @unsync or @unsync_children becoming %true while zapping all pages is basically nil.

Revert to a slow kvm_mmu_zap_all() for kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all(). Flushing all shadow entries is only done during VM teardown, i.e. kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all() is only called when the associated MM struct is being released or when the VM instance is being freed. Although the performance of teardown itself isn't critical, KVM should still voluntarily schedule to play nice with the rest of the kernel; but that can be done without the fast invalidate mechanism in a future patch.

Remove x86 KVM's fast invalidate mechanism, i.e. revert all patches from the original series[1]. Though not explicitly stated, for all intents and purposes the fast invalidate mechanism was added to speed up the scenario where removing a memslot, e.g. as part of accessing reading PCI ROM, caused KVM to flush all shadow entries[1]. Now that the memslot case flushes only shadow entries belonging to the memslot, i.e. doesn't use the fast invalidate mechanism, the only remaining usage of the mechanism are when the VM is being destroyed and when the MMIO generation rolls over. When a VM is being destroyed, either there are no active vcpus, i.e. there's no lock contention, or the VM has ungracefully terminated, in which case we want to reclaim its pages as quickly as possible, i.e. not release the MMU lock if there are still CPUs executing in the VM. The MMIO generation scenario is almost literally a one-in-a-million occurrence, i.e. is not a performance sensitive scenario. Given that lock-breaking is not desirable (VM teardown) or irrelevant (MMIO generation overflow), remove the fast invalidate mechanism to simplify the code (a small amount) and to discourage future code from zapping all pages as using such a big hammer should be a last restort.

This improves performance, especially why the deleted memslot has only a few shadow entries, or even no entries. E.g. a microbenchmark to access regular memory while concurrently reading PCI ROM to trigger memslot deletion showed a 5% improvement in throughput.
